We're Just Living In It

Part 1- The beginning

A gun shot. A shot gun maybe. Blood all over Maggie. Was she dead? There was blood all over her face. Someone running towards her. Screaming for help. Where was I? Could I not
save my best friend?

I woke up to the sun shine through the curtains of my hotel window. My head was throbbing. Why did I let Maggie take the bed. I sat up and began digging through my bag for some Advil. No such luck. My mouth was dry and I went to the desk to grab a water bottle. It was almost empty and as my head pounded I drank what was left. I walked to open the bedroom door but I remembered Maggie brought back a new boy toy for the night. By how many guys she brings home I am just amazed she hasn't turned up dead yet. From my head ache to my dry mouth I hadn't really noticed how hungry I was until my stomach made a loud noise. Hopefully they were still serving breakfast. I wrote Maggie a note and left in on the desk as a grabbed a key card and headed out into the halls.
The halls were empty. There we trays on the ground from people who and room service there wasn't even little kids running up and down the halls. I headed toward the elevator because who ever takes the stairs. I pressed floor one and I rode in silence. The door opened and I stepped out to a deserted lobby. That's unusual even for the one we are staying at in Colorado.

Me and Maggie came from Florida for a ski trip and we kinda got caught up in some bars. We have never skied before so we decided why not during our Junior year of college spring break . I met Maggie at a Frat party after she beat me in almost all the drinking games. I kept asking for rematches because I'm not one to lose and after a while we became great friends. Maggie was way prettier than me with her blonde hair and light skin. It matched her complete with her petite height and size but you should never under estimate her. She is defiantly a fire cracker. I had more Brown hair and super pale skin not going well with my tall complexion. There was always something off but I know plenty of other people who has the same features as me and they could be models.

After retracing my thoughts to what I was actually doing I walked down a hall way to find the lobby completely empty. There wasn't even that one guy that works down to get away from his family. I went over to the front desk to find it empty. I called out and rang the bell and thus I heard a noise. I peeked over the desk to find a man hovered over a women. I quickly ran around the desk to see if she was injured, but I looked on the ground to find it covered in blood. I was so scared.

"What happened?" I asked my voice trembling.

The man looked up he was covered in blood. I looked at the women her chest cavity was showing. My eyes went wide. The man began to stand up I looked straight into his eyes and found no signs of life. He was still chewing on her small intestine as he stepped over her body. Then he ran after me. He grabbed my hair, but I pulled free probably pulling out a chunk. I ran down the hall towards the elevator. I pressed the button, but he as fast. He looked like he had just become whatever that thing was. I decided to find the stairs instead probably the first time I will ever use them. I looked back to see if he was still behind me and he was. He had a part of his shoulder missing. I reached the stairs and bursted through. He caught the tail end of the closing door. I ran up the stairs. He caught my feet tackling me. I feel down the stairs right near him hitting my head. My head started to pound even more than before. I kicked my feet hitting him in the jaw. Dark red blood hit me in the face.

"Shit!" I kicked one last time and he fell back. Hitting his head on the concrete ground. A human being could not survive that hard of a hit. He was on his back still alive. I stood up and ran the rest of the stairs to the second floor. I ran to my room and tried to grab my key card. It was gone. It must have fallen on the stairs when that thing tackled me. I banged on the door hopeful Maggie would open it. I heard banging in the room across from up us and I went over. Before I could reach the door. I heard a hotel room door open and it was Maggie.

"Jesus what happened Em!" She exclaimed pulling me inside. She took me to the bathroom and started to clean my face. As we walked by the bed I saw a man laying on it passed out. She touched my head. "Your head is bleeding what happened!"

"There's something down there! I saw this man eating a women. Except it wasn't it a man. There was absolutely no life left in him. He even cracked his head on the ground and he still go up."

"Okay calm down. We need to get you some medical supplies."

"There's a pharmacy down the street we can look there." I said not wanting to go to a hospital.

"We can head there let me just wake up Keagan." She left the bathroom and went to the bedroom.

"Who the hell is Keagan?" Then I remembered her boy toy on the bed. How does she even remember his name.

I walked out into the room and saw a really hot guy getting dressed. I closed my eyes and rushed out if the room well that was embarrassing. With that we left the hotel and headed for the Pharmacy.
