The screeching of their claws on the metal door keeps us awake when we need our sleep. It would rather be the sound of screeching than the sound of screaming. Today was day 354 since those creatures showed up. Each day has been a battle. Each day was a prayer. Each day was a new day where you were alive. We were thankful to that.
My friends and I always keep close to one another, ready to have each others back.

We knew one another from high school. Out of the eleven of us nine have survived. Miya, the goth- sweet-cute one in the group. Kia , the outgoing one in the group who always loves to debate on things. Cat , the mother figure of the group. Shannon , the chilled one in our group. Alex, the "alien" in our group. That is all the girls, then the boys.... Cal , the smart one. Meck , the gets along with everyone in the group person. Zane, the ego guy. And the there is me. That is all I am going to say, because this story isn't about me its about the world.

The two we lost were John and Becky. They saved our lives.

The sun was trying to break through the curtains of smoke. We were all laughing until we heard an earpiercing scream coming down the hall. We all immediatly grabbed our weapons and took up our fighting stances. The sounds of heavy footstep coming closer had our hearts trying to hide behind our spines. The creature came out of the shadows with blood dripping down its jagged teeth. Drip-drip....drop. It seemed to be smiling at us. It had us frozen in place. It was going to have a nice dinner of friend stew.
The first one to take action was John. He was breathing heavely and sweat was dripping of him. He was afraid like us. Wanting to move to help him, my trembling legs failed me and Becky was at my side helping me up.

"GO!" she seemed to yell, yet I couldn't move. She pushed with all her might and before I could actually feel what was happening a red liqiud was sprayed onto my face. Moments later a scream appeared. Blinking , my mind seemed to understand what was going on. John was yelling at the others to move, they too were frozen by fear.

"Go or else we will die! " I yelled over the ringing in my ears. They stared moving and turning away from the monster , but John stayed behind , he repeatingly stabed the creature in the back white blood splashing onto his face. He was distacting it. Tears welled up in my eyes as I ran from John and Becky.

We don't know what happened to the creature once we left, but what we do know is that John was screaming in pain and sorrow.

Thinking back about it I wonder if the creatures can be killed. Even after being stabbed repeatedly in the back it did not die.

We need to capture one and experiment on it. I know experiments are bad, but I love them.

A smile was spreading on my face as I thought of a plan.

"Oh no,"was all Cat said as she saw that I was up to something, probally that will lead to a lot of trouble.
