ALEX

I kept breathing heavily as I woke up and went into the bathroom in order to wash my face.
I hadn't gotten much rest thinking about whatever that creature was.
Instead of washing my face I just grabbed some clothes and went back into the bathroom and took a shower.
Once I was done and changed I just went and threw my clothes into the laundry room and then went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast.
I grabbed Jacks laptop and started to watch the cameras and skipped to where we stopped watching and continued to watch from there on and then I was horrified to see whatever the hell it was Jack was talking about close to the camera staring into it with its glowing red eye.
There was static for a while until it came back to normal and I could see a clear shot of this thing.
White hair, human looking a bit, mask or something covering its face, and tentacles or what looked like spider legs with two centipede like tentacles.
I had instantly gotten terrified and started to look at other cameras once it had suddenly disappeared but no where to be seen again.
My face had turned pale and I just sat in the kitchen looking at the laptop in complete silence.
The guys woke up and I just closed the laptop and put it under the couch so they wouldn't see the footage.
It wouldn't matter while my face was pale so I just wore my mask.
They looked at me confused as to why I was wearing it and I just said I was bored even though that was a lie.
I was thinking about this weird creature when all the guys realized that the laptop was gone and went searching for it, when they were all in separate rooms I grabbed the laptop and started to try and delete the footage until Eric crept up behind me and grabbed the laptop while saying, "The heck is this..." As he stopped to the frame with the creatures face.
He stopped and stared at me and ripped the mask off my face and saw how pale I was and he said he knew it was suspicious.
I laughed nervously and he went upstairs and changed then came downstairs with his shotgun and went looking around the house and then he came back in and said nothing was out there but he's going back to the houses.
He ran off before I could say anything and I got scared and went upstairs and changed and grabbed a weapon and told the guys where I was going and what happened and soon they all started to do the same but I was already out the door.
I didn't see Eric until I only got a glimpse of him running into the house and ran after him while leaving behind screws so they know where to go and then I went into the house running and then Eric saw me and told me to stop cause he heard something and then we could hear hissing and we looked at each other realizing what was coming and we ran like hell to get out of there.
Until I got my legged caught into one of the floorboards and then I felt one of the things spider like legs wrap around my leg and then break me through the floor down into the basement with it and Eric jumped down and came chasing after me but I was sliding across the floor until I came face to face with the creature and it was more terrifying face to face.
Eric kept shooting at it but it would regenerate where the bullets had struck and then he would shoot off the legs or arms which took much longer to regenerate and so he shot the arm I was in and I took that time to escape while the thing painfully regenerated its arm or whatever and we kept shooting at it until it jumped up the house and we heard a window break so we assumed it went to another house.
We started to leave until we heard some voice and we turned around startled and heard it was coming from a tiny room which the monster had came from and we slowly walked inside and saw someone sitting in the room tied up against the wall and we untied them and he spoke, "Thank you, that think wouldn't stop leaving me alone for weeks." He was wearing a mask which kept changing to make little faces and his voice sounded weird because there was something in there that made his voice sound a bit different, not as if it was a different voice but where it was like modified to sound like a robot or something.
We asked him how long they had been there and he said a day and he started to lose hope.
"My name is Gabe, but my nickname is Wrench, don't ask why."
"I'm Alex and this is Eric."
"Nice to meet you two, now what are we gonna do?"
"Do you wanna come with us, we're trying to find out what this thing is and a way to defeat it."
"Sure I'll help if it means this thing is gone for good."
"It sure does, c'mon we have others."
"Alright, lead the way."
"We all ran out of the house to find the others and when we did we introduced Gabe to them and we all went home and started to all come up with plans and ideas for what this thing might be and soon we all just started to fall asleep but managed to stay awake for a bit more but then sleep got to us besides Gabe though cause he was wide awake keeping watching while we were falling asleep and then I started to feel a bit dizzy and then I started to fall asleep and then there was nothing but darkness.
