They Bite

Chapter 1- Darkness

I woke up like you wake up from a nightmare. Covered in sweat and tears and breathing heavily. Only this time I was still in the nightmare.

"Are you alright Mel?" a voice in the darkness whispered,

"yea, how long have i been asleep?" I whispered back,

"not long," it said,

I knew it was my best friend Niki, and I remembered it all again.

*FLASHBACK*

I heard the screams.

 I saw My mother as she shoved us into the tiny dark room, her face a picture of pure fear, with a giant bag with multiple pockets. In one of the pockets there was tinned food and water.

"Wha-" I tried to speak but she cut me off,

"don't come out of here until you hear human voices, and stay quiet," she said and closed the door on us before we could react and locked it.

Then we waited...

*END OF FLASHBACK*

The room was barely big enough for both of us let alone the massive bag of supplies. We did exactly as she said for three days, trying to use the supplies sparingly.

Until we heard them...

"Wow this place is trashed, ya reckon we'll find anything here?" a male voice asked,

"I don't know but we should search it anyway just in case,"  a female voice answered.

"Oh my god, they are people's voices just like your mum said there would be," Niki whispered, i could almost see the excitement on her face even though the room was pitch black.

"Yeah, but we need to get out of here, remember my mum locked the door," I replied, "maybe we could get their attention,"

"OK yell 'help' on three," Niki said, "one... two... THREE"

"HELP," we yelled together

"SHIT," I heard the male voice yell, "JENNA GRAB ANYTHING YOU CAN BEFORE THEY START ATTACKING THEN GET TO THE CAR, ILL GET THEM,"

"OK," Jenna yelled back.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" the male voice yelled as someone else entered the house making weird noises that were definitely not human.

"OVER HERE," I yelled, rattling the door of the small room.

"Shit it's locked," he said under his breath, "do you know where the key is?"

The noises were getting louder.

"No," I said,

"Shit," he muttered again, I heard a gun fire and something drop to the floor.

 "JENNA," he yelled, making the noises louder,

"JASON WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jenna yelled from the other side of the house,

"Jenna there are some kids in here, I need your knife" Jason said in a panicking voice.

 I heard a knife slide across the floor, Jason picked it up and unlocked the door and for the first time in three days we saw the sun.

As soon as our eyes adjusted to the light we saw what was making the noises...
