Phantoms

|| Three || Eric

I bursted out of my slumber realizing I passed out and as if I didn't sleep for long.
I looked out the window realizing that it was morning instead of night.
I looked out the window to see if the person we saw had been there but he wasn't as expected.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face.
After that John woke up and washed his face and then went downstairs to make breakfast.
10 minutes pass and you can smell the food and it was enough to make you want to get out of bed and brush your teeth as fast as possible cause that's what we all did when we smelt it.
We all jumped downstairs and John spoke, "I was wondering when you guys were coming, I could hear you guys run all over the house to brush your teeth.
We all ate breakfast and Jack spoke, "So now that we know more about this thing we need to find out how we can stop it or whatever from showing up."
"I don't think we can."
"He seems to show up whenever he wants but it's always gonna be somewhere at night time."
"We can't hide in our room forever."
"Then what are we gonna do?"
"Next time we see him we take the shot no matter what."
"Ok, so what makes you think that that's all it's gonna take?"
"How should I know, we hardly know if this person is even real or whatever but I saw we just try to find out."
"Ok, but if one of us dies I'm gonna come back as a ghost if I die and kick you in the nuts."
"If any of us die then it just means that we should find out who the hell this is and kill them for revenge."
"Ok, so what are we gonna do now?"
"We have to set up, make sure he can't get in and we're prepared for anything that could happen."
"Alright, John?"
"LETS GO!!!"
We all ran out to the car and Jack started the car and we drove out to the guns store.
We were worried considering we were young, Alex being the youngest at 19.
The rest of us were 20-22.
We all waited in the car while Jack went into the store, him being the oldest.
He came out with some boxes and he put them in the trunk and then we went back home and we sat down in the living room and started to discuss a plan.
"So what do we do?"
"What's in the box first?"
Jack opened the box and we all saw some guns.
There was a rifle, shotgun, assault riffle, submachine gun, and a machine gun.
John being John he grabbed the shotgun.
I got the rifle cause I've had to shoot one before.
Jack got the Machine gun.
Jackson got the submachine gun (SMG).
Alex got the assault rifle and we were all ready and we were all good on ammo cause John loved to collect ammo for no reason, we didn't complain though.
"So now that we have our weapons we need to go somewhere else cause I don't want to leave my mom and dad in danger."
"Where do you suppose we go then?"
"As long as we aren't here then I'm fine."
"The park."
"Yeah, that's a great place. No one really goes there and then it's a good distance away from here."
"Ok, so we go to the park but we have to stay together."
"Well no kidding."
After that we decided to take naps and wake up and set up once it starts to get kind of late.
We all ate lunch and then fell asleep.

We woke up and then we all grabbed our guns and ammo and John just brought his entire bag full of ammo just to make sure.
We all decided we'd eat one more time before we left and so we did.
After a while we finally decided it was time to head to the park so we all walked out to the car and we drove all the way to the park that Alex was talking about.
We got there and sat where we were gonna stay for the night and then we got our guns ready.
We sat there until night came and we finally got up and set up and then we grabbed all our guns and waiting for night to come and the street lights to turn on cause that's where this thing liked to show up.
"So we all know what to do now right?"
"Yes, if we see this person then to take the shot right away, no excuses just shoot them wherever and whenever possible."
"Good, now we wait for this bastard to show up."
We sat there for what seemed like forever until my ears rang loudly and I couldn't hear for a couple seconds only to realize it was cause someone had shot their gun and I turned around to see it was Jack who shot his gun and then we heard him say, "I got him, I think..."
We found it hard to believe we got him cause it would be to easy.
We walked over to where Jack said he saw him and we saw a little bit of blood showing that Jack had shot him but the person wasn't there and so Jack just spoke, "I swear he was just here laying on the floor."
"We didn't say we didn't believe you, it's just confusing how he could recover so quick and leave with an injury cause it didn't seem like a small one."
"Well whatever, we'll try again tomorrow."
We all got back into the car and went home and we all stayed in the same room again and one by one we set up sleeping bags and passed out.
I stayed up and thought about today and what could happen tomorrow but then I didn't want to think about it so I just tried to fall asleep and soon enough I got knocked out and fell asleep while seeing nothing but darkness.
