Run for Your Life

No one had expected it. Not in a million days. It's hard to tell how long it's been but from what I hear it's been so long maybe a few months, close to a year. No one knows where these things came from they just attacked our school one day. None of us were prepared, we are just kids what could we do?

There used to be Seven of us. Alexis, Arielle, Daniel, Devin, Brooklyn, Erika and my self. Now there's only five left. Let me take you to the start though, the dreadful day... As they call it now the "reaping".

It was a Monday and I had just pulled up in my 64 ford thunderbird for the first time. I just finished it two days before and I was excited to show it off. I was an idiot though... I could have helped more if I had brought my SUV that day, but the past is the past and I am to live with it. After waiting a few minutes outside showing off my car I decided to walk into the front hall. There I saw Devin and Alexis waving me down. Devin was a blond headed, blue eyed bundle of fun, being the exited one he ran towards me hugging me close. I won't lie I really did find him cute. I gently hug him back laughing a bit "haha settle down there~" I say then looking at Alexis I simply nod at her and she nods back getting her books from the locker. She was a happy girl all in all, but very different from the rest. She also had her sister with her, Arielle. Arielle was also extremely friendly but she also was very quiet. I looked around for Daniel and saw him on the other end of the hall way looking quite worried. I walked over to him folding my arms and lean my back up on the wall beside him. "Hey... What's biting at you...?" I ask him. He simply looked at me "that power plant explosion two days ago... There's still no new news on it... It just isn't right..." He tells me. As he was talking to me I saw Brooklyn down the hall. I sort of blow him off with a yah and head towards my girlfriend. Her eyes glimmered with joy and I held her close in my arms "Mew!" She says to me. Brooklyn was in a car accident a while ago forgetting everything. She had learned everything again but now she communicates by mimicking sounds. She adores cats very much so she usually mews like them a lot.

I smiled at her and kiss her lips gently. She was warm, one of the very things I loved about her was how warm she was. As I look into her eyes after the kiss that is when hell entered my world. That damn scream... And then those things flooded the entrance of our school.
