The strange noise had grown louder, and I clamped my hands over my ears, trying to block the noise out. Everyone seemed confused as well.

What the hell?! I thought to myself. I got up, my hands still clamped over my ears, someone started to yell and people ran all over the place. I looked at the west door. It wasn't closing. My heart rate quickened, scared that it might not close. Thomas ran over. "Get inside the cabin!!" He yelled at me. I was so confused, I ran towards the cabin, and got inside, scared for my life. What exactly is going on??

The alarm soon stopped, the sudden silence caused my ears to ring. I ran outside, the leaders were grouped together, Tom was with them too. I decided to walk over, but something told me not to. They seemed awfully concerned and deep in conversation. I started to head back to the cabin.

The sky had turned a dull blue, almost like a dead sky, like all of it's bright color drained from it. What if everything dies?! I grew more and more scared and concerned, but kept it to myself. I had so many questions forming in the back of my mind. "Juni, come here for a second." I almost jumped at the sudden voice, I realized it was a person that worked at the butcher place. "Okay..." I reluctantly walked over to them, a suspicion growing in my chest. "Do you know why the sky is dull?" They said, a weird tone in their voice like I was causing this. "No, not at all, it's pretty strange." I said. All of a sudden, they had pulled out a knife on me and swung it at my neck, I reacted quickly and ducked. "What the hell are you doing?!" I screamed, and backed up. "You!!! You're the reason why this is bloody happening!!" They yelled, and kept swinging at me with the knife, I whimpered to myself and backed up more, glancing behind me for a possible weapon. "I didn't do anything I swear!!" I yelled back, and decided to stop them. I grabbed their arm and twisted it, hearing the bone snap and threw them onto the ground. They cried out, Tom and Arby ran over.

Tom pulled me back, I kicked and tried to continue to beat them up for trying to kill me. "Juni stop it!!" He said to me, holding my arms back. Arby picked up the guy and took him to the Jail. "He tried to fucking kill me!!" I protested, trying to get free. "And he blamed me for shit I didn't do!!" "Just calm down." He said to me. I soon calmed down and he let me go. I brushed the dirt off my pants and snorted. "What the hell is wrong? What's happening?" I demanded to know. "I don't know, but the door isn't closing properly." He said. I huffed and looked at the door. "What if those things come in...." I grew scared. "I doubt it..." He didn't sound too sure.

We all were huddled in the cabin, quiet but some people whispered. Some were trembling. I was sitting on the stairs along with Tom, and two other leaders. I looked at my hands and thought. Will those things come to kill us? Will the door close... I looked up, and I felt  a slight rumble and metal scraping agaisnt metal. "The door is closing!" I said. Everyone scrambled out, I climbed over people, and ran out. The door was indeed closing. Thank god. But wait... Something wasn't quite right... something was running toward the door as it was closing, from the forest. And lots of them. Cutters. "CUTTERS!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
