The Night

Chapter 1

The night is our time. Our time to be free.

I woke with a jolt. It was night, and I know that some people are afraid of night but here, everyone is afraid. Night is when the others are free to roam. The others are like nightmares but just twisted up and mad as hell at least that's just what are parents say. We have never been outside after 1:00pm which is our bed time. Then in the morning the others are frozen solid with brick. Our parents never told me and my sister amber about how it was when the others weren't around, when they could go outside. I tried asking them once and let me tell you never again!! They had a hissyfit and it was horrible!! My sister Amber thinks it's not fair and that we should become friends with them. I think she is completely wrong and we should shoot them all. Cold air shivered down my spine. I got up and put my dressing gown on. Slowly I walked down the creaky stairs. They twisted like how scientists show genes mixing. I crept into ambers' room she was slowly getting up aswell. We would see the night. We gave a small nod saying 'hi!!' excitement tingled through my spine that was soon replaced by fear. She stepped outside the cool air hit me like a punch. "I-i don't kno-ow about t-this." Whispered Amber. "It's gonna be fine." I replied it obviously wasn't very convincing because she looked at me with that look saying 'you don't believe that.' it was true though I didn't believe it either. Crunch. Both our heads snapped towards where the noise was.
