Young and Beautiful Demons

Chapter 2

Elizabeth's POV

As I pulled up to the house I looked in my rearview mirror to make sure that Nick was right behind me. As he pulled up behind me we all got out of our vehicles and began to walk towards the house.

"What are we doing here Alyssa?" Skylar asks.

"We're raiding a house, we need supplies. Here, take these," Alyssa replies as she begins to hand out makeshift weapons.

"What the hell are these?" Nick asks.

"What the hell do they look like?" Alyssa snaps.

"They look like toys." Nick argues back holding up scissors taped onto a metal yardstick.

"Well I'm sorry if you would like to do better, then go right ahead." Alyssa says getting into his face.

"I would've if you would have given us some more time in the classroom."

"We didn't have anymore damn time! If we would've stayed a minute longer we would've died."

"Quit arguing please!" I beg.

"I agree, lets just get in and get out." Justin agrees

As we entered the house a horrid smell entered our nostrils causing me to gag.

"Better get used to that smell." Nick mumbled.

"I hope I don't ever have to get used to it." I quietly say doubting anyone heard me.

I turned to go and check what I assumed was the kitchen. Opening cupboards searching for any canned goods. I move a box of cheese its and spot a mouse. I quickly backed up and let out a yelp. Nick sprinted into the room with his weapon held high. "What's going on?" he asks me with a concerned tone in his voice.

"M-m-mouse!" I managed to stutter out.

Nick began to shake his head at me and chuckled as he left the room.

I began to snoop around again finding five cans of beans, three cans of peaches, and two cans of soup. I begin to search the pantry behind me when I hear a growling. I turn around just in time to see the thing launch at me. I quickly strike it over its head with the can of soup immediately knocking it to the ground. Despite the fact I knew it was dead I continued to hit it over the head. Sobs escaping my mouth as blood oozed out of the things head.  

I then felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my torso pulling me away from the corpse. I immediately turn around and raise the can ready to strike again. Nick's hand grabs my wrist just in time and makes me put down the can.

I looked at him for a second before I began to sob in his chest.

"Shh shh it's dead. You're going to be okay" Nick soothed.

"It came out of nowhere" I hiccupped.

"I know, I know" Nick said as he tucked my hair behind my ear.

I then heard somebody clear their throat.

"Um what happened?" Justin demanded with jealously behind his eyes.

"I-It-Came-Nowhere" I sobbed.

"She was looking for food, when the biter came out of nowhere and attacked her. I found her beating it with a can of soup." Nick explained.

"That doesn't explain why she's in your arms." Justin clenched his jaw.

"Because of my manly charm" Nick joked.

"You may have charm, but I wouldn't say it's manly."

"What did you say?"

"You heard me."
