We were back underground, this time we were starting to believe them though, ever since that UFO incident. They were still very shady.
It was night, I'm assuming and I hear two loud bangs on the door/hatch. I was all the way in my room, far away from it. I got up to go check it out. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen. The hatch was right there so I also grabbed a flashlight, confirming it was night since it was so dark Outside the hatch. I shined my turned on flashlight on the hatch to see military officer or government official of some sort. The banging was them stomping the hatch. One of then pulls out a gun and shoots, I run but trip over something and I am knocked out.
I wake up in the basement, but its smoky, really smoky and I can hear fire crackling. The bunker is burning. Max and Willy and everyone else are right above me on ground level out of the hatch with their hands up and guns pointed at their heads. I see my bat close to the fire, almost burning. I crawl to grab it and get up and run up the ladder as fast as I can. The fire was burning ferociously right behind me. I was on the verge of being burnt to death. I climb up out the bunker and all guns and sights go to me. It is just then I realize Sadie is no where to be found. I scream, with a vengeance "WHERE IS MY SISTER". Everyone just stares. Stare. A gun goes off at this point and Cash ducks and kicks the army guy and runs to the door. Everyone else does the same, except for Willy. He's old and slow and he gets shot, fatally in the head. Willy is dead. Cash and Bailey almost sigh in relief. All the army officals are dead at this point. Bailey walks up to me and puts her hand on my shoulder. She then says "I'm sorry". I knew what she meant. I fell over, sobbing and crying harder than I ever had. My one and only friend, my sister was dead at the hands of a sinister 20 year old, Max. I sped walk over to him and punched him and in return he stared sobbing at the realization he'd killed someone and his grandfather was dead. Shot the same way he had killed my sister. Cash, still at the door says "You guys might wanna see this". We all walk slowly over there, mostly still crying. We look out the door to see a grotesque human figure and a truck, big enough for all of us to fit in. Max doesn't want to leave his dead grandpa so he gives us the key to open the door but he doesn't go. We started running as fast as we Could. The grotesque humanoid thing was in fact not human, as it ran up to the truck and it was alienistinc and sadistic at the same time. It was hard to describe but it was tall with long, sharp nails, scaly dark skin and no eyes and a tentacle that retch out from its mouth. It ran on all fours but stood on its hind legs but had 4 legs. It scraped the truck with its long nails. We sped off down the long, gravel driveway lined with cotton. We left with no intentions of ever coming back. That's when it jetted out in front of us and we almost hit it. Hard.
