Phantoms

|| Eleven || Out of Time

JACKSON

"JACK! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
Maniacal laughter and then a deep voice speaking, "Jack? He's gone, and there is nothing you can do to bring him home, no happy ending for you now."
"No, it can't be... I promised to look out for my friends..."
"Well you failed, just like you have at everything else!"
"You're right... Why don't I just accept I'll never be able to do anything right?"
"Now you're talking."
"Yeah, no one ever had hope in me anyways, so what's the point?"
I saw a sword slash across my face and then darkness.

I bursted out of bed and started breathing heavily almost throwing up.
I ran to the bathroom and started panting still feeling extremely sick.
I washed my face and stared at myself in the mirror for a while.
I walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs and almost everyone had fallen asleep.
I was really tired after yesterday just hoping it would be over soon but there is no sign of it stopping any time soon which makes me lose some hope that we'll survive this.
"So now I'm just stuck here in this hellish nightmare dealing with what seems to be demons"
I couldn't bare the thought of our situation and just wish it could be over soon but I don't exactly know when that would be.
I've thought about this over and over again "Maybe we don't even have a chance to stop it."
I hit myself in the stomach trying to snap myself out of it. Eventually I just got frustrated and walked outside for a little and walked around the house for a while trying not to punch something that would break my hand. I didn't really know what to do still so I just walked back inside and started to wake everyone up. Once everyone was up I decided it was worth a shot to try and end this for once and for all, I knew our chances were slim but if we just kept hiding in the shadows like phantoms we don't have a single chance to win.

It was a while before anyone even spoke up but eventually John came up to me and gave me a punch on the shoulder, I looked at him and he didn't seem mad he seemed emotionless and then he spoke up "If you want to do this than expect everything, no matter what. If you believe this is our only way to win than it's a chance we should all take otherwise we'll end up being phantoms forever. We need to go to them instead of waiting for them to come to us." John looked back and everyone looked with blank stares and eventually everyone looked at each other and decided it was our only chance so we decided to take our chances. Everyone started to prepare and get ready and grab whatever we could and then we all finally decided night time would be our best chance to strike. "There are low chances of us winning this battle no matter how many of us there are, we don't even know how to take these things out." "That shouldn't even matter we know they can take damage and bleed so we just hit them with everything we have and see if enough damage is enough to take these bastards out."

It felt like hours until we all knew it was time to go. Everyone started to run and go towards the houses and once we got there we all stopped and decided we needed to stay together and if there is any reason to split up than we have to try and avoid it. Everyone nodded and we all slowly walked into the houses one by one and check everywhere but found nothing in most of the houses but we went back to the house Gabe was in and there was a red glow coming from inside and slowly we entered scared yet filled with anger and Eric was in front so he saw everything first. We made our way through the house but found nothing upstairs or on the floor we started on, we knew the basement was the only other place and Eric peaked inside and saw everything, the monsters walking around, they had blood all over them and they walked around with experimental equipment, we all looked at each other and Eric slowly walked inside and we all watched him and than we all made our way inside and tried to look at what was happening but was met with the eyes of this monster. The desk we all his behind flew over our heads and we all ran forwards and attacked endlessly and blood sprayed all over the place and we thought we were done until Eric was lifted off the ground and thrown all over the floor and he backed up against the corner while the rest of us fought and making sure nothing touched him. We fought and fought and there seemed to be no end and we were getting tired and one of the legs went for Eric and we all looked in terror as it went towards him and seeing someone go flying past us and putting themselves in front of him, it was Alex. The leg went for Alex now and when it got to him it tore skin off his leg with blood everywhere and screams of agony, it was just as if he scraped his leg so we had some relief that it didn't do anything really serious but Alex was in pain and grabbed onto the leg and cut it off using so much force and we heard more screams of agony from the monster now and we all knew what to do so we all tried to take the legs off and after hours we succeeded with almost everyone getting some sort of injury but didn't lose a limb, the thing just laid on the floor and everyone stuck their weapons into it or shot at it and we made sure this creature stayed on the floor and suddenly black mist appeared and this thing started to disintegrate into the hair and we all looked in disbelief and once all of it was gone we started to cheer in happiness but the battle was not over as we heard stomping across the house... "So anyone else got a plan?" "That's easy, just don't give up..."
