The silent night was very unnerving as Lewis walked toward the abandoned house. The house was out in the woods, but a huge two-acre area just for a corn maze and barn house were in the center. He had the rifle held tightly in his hand, ready for a wolf or coyote to attack. He felt as though there was something dark lurking inside the old barn house.
He walked in, tactical light on. He had recently join the Marines, which is how he had the tactical light. It was a special gift from his general before he was shot and killed by the Warriors. He had nearly escaped with his life. Thinking about it made him shed a single tear. He did not want to die of an animal. He was the youngest kid to join the Marines, at 16 years of age. He was very strong and fast. Distracted by his thoughts, he did not realize he had walked into a bedroom.
The house did not have any power, so he got his night-vision goggles and got a sleeping bag ready. He blocked off the window, just in case. He climbed into bed and started to doze off. Then a loud bang caught him off guard. He grabbed his rifle and headed downstairs.
He decided to use the night-vision goggles instead of using the tactical light, as to not get noticed of what was probably a bear. He walked through the hallways for what felt like hours until he seen a mysterious lady with a worn nightgown and no eyes on her face, just a mouth. The woman suddenly lunged forward, holding him down and try to bite his face off. Lewis pulled out a Combat Knife and stabbed the woman in the chest, which killed her. Many more strange things such as blood stains and scratches on the walls.
He suddenly felt a hand touch his right shoulder as he ran back toward his room. He grabbed his stuff- which he didn't even pack- and ran out of the house.
This gave him nightmares for many days. The woman was inside of his head and didn't want to get out. Then he got a phone call from the Marines.
"Lewis! The United States is being attacked in New York! We need back-up immediately! It's the Warriors... they're.... *static*.
