Chapter 3: They say the first night's the hardest

Ali was splashed by her sister. She splashed back. They loved that wave pool. Her and her little sister. The waves became slowly more powerful and this is when they swam forwards. "Ali, Amy be careful!" her father yelled.                                                                                                                                           "Yes dad." They'd always say back, but they never really took it seriously. As they swam forward, Ali noticed that no one else was there. She was about to tell Amy to stop but something grabbed onto her and pulled her back."Amy, stop!" She screamed but it was too late. Her sister was too far forwards. The life ring missed. She was sucked into the wave machine. Meanwhile, Ali was being dragged out the pool and she ran to her parents. It shuddered and stopped as life guards dove into the pool. "Ali, thank god your alright!" Her parents said as they squeezed her in their arms. "Amy" she said "Where's Amy." It was at that moment, they new their other daughter wasn't there. Paramedics where now rushing onto the scene. As they reached the wave machine they were being held back."That's my daughter in there!" Her mum was now screaming and cursing along with her dad. She saw Amy's body being loaded onto a stretcher "Don't die Amy, please don't" She whispered to her self between sobs "I need you."

"Ali, Ali wake up" She opened her eyes to see Charlie shaking her and Ryan and Owen leaving Ryan's house, running over to them. "Ali take your time to get up, you just fainted.                                "I think..." She stuttered "I think I'm ok" Ryan and Owen had just made it over to them and saw the creature lying dead on the floor. "We can't leave you two alone for 5 minutes can we?" Owen said with a smug smile. Charlie stuck her tongue out at him and said "Ok Mr. Cocky Pants, mind helping your fainted friend?"                                                                                                                                            "Ali, you ok?" Ryan said, offering to help her up.                                                                                                      "Yeah, I just... I had the wave pool flashback again" Ryan Owen exchanged worried looks, whilst Charlie held a blank expression.                                                                                                                                      "Oh yeah, Charlie you don't know do you? I'll tell you once we're safe, so what's next?" She asked                                                                                                                                                                                           "I say we hide out in a Tesco or something" Ryan suggested "Anyone object?" He got 3 head shakes and one sitting dog "Looks like we're good to go, head down Park Side and lock own the shop.

They crept in the shadows on the short 3 minute walk, and saw various abnormal things on the way. They crept into the empty shop and pull down the metal barriers for the doors. They checked the shop was clear, than locked down the the back.                                                                            "So this is home base for tonight at least?" Owen asked                                                                                      "I guess" Ryan replied as he was already grabbing a plastic pot and a water bottle. He poured it in and said "Drinkies, come on" Lori walked over and drank.                                                                            "I'm not sure if you guys will be with me on this, but when daylight strikes I'm going to get the twins tomorrow, maybe we can also get Amy on the way" Owen said confidently                                  "They weren't at the houses earlier, we checked quick, not at mine, not at Ali's, not at Owen's. Ryan added"But i say we check back tomorrow"                                                                                                    "Well, whatever we do we need sleep, night guys." Charlie said                                                                      "Night." Ryan replied. Lori went and snuggled up to Ali as the all laid on with a blanket and pillow from the bedding section.
