Dark inside

Stephan

I was dreaming peacefully when suddenly someone was shaking me awake. "Stephan wake up!" I heard my dad yell in fear. Immediately my eyes shot open and I looked around in fear.

"What is it?" I asked.

"No time we need to hurry to the shed come on!" He yelled pulling me to my feet. I got up quickly and ran with him that's when I felt it the ground was shaking! We reached the front door just as a huge tremor knocked us both off of our feet.

"Lance!" I heard my mom cry from farther off. She seemed to be trapped under what looked to be a fallen tree. Dad got up quickly and looked at me, "Keep running I'm going for your mom!" He cried before streaking off. I followed his directions and continued to race towards the cabin the ground shaking and throwing objects around as I ran.

Tears were streaming down my face as I ripped open the door and stepped in. The shed was made to withstand an earthquake and I quickly ran to the back of it curling myself into a ball as the ground shook around me. I was terrified and shaking uncontrollably as I waited for my parents to walk through the shed door.

Finally the cabin stopped shaking but my body didn't. I slowly got to my feet worried their might be an aftershock and I reached for the door that was slammed shut making the room airtight. I opened it and looked outside my eyes wide. The ground was destroyed and the was lopsided as the one wall crumbled in.

"Mom! Dad!" I called stepping completely out of the cabin. That's when I saw the flash of a pink shirt. "Mom!" I cried and raced over to her. I stopped at her body which was twisted into a weird shape. "Mom?" I asked as I touched her face it was ice cold. I felt tears escape my eye as I realized what that meant. "No mom! Please wake up!" I cried holding her head.

Just then a shadow appeared over top of me. I looked up to see my father who was looking at me with a vacant expression. His eyes were strange too the veins being black. "Dad?" I asked when suddenly he lunged at me grabbing a hold of my neck. I let out a gasp and tried to claw his hands away but they were too tight. What is he doing!
