They Bite

Chapter 2- Rescued

 I saw the rotting flesh almost falling of their bones.

I smelt the decay.

I saw them... the only way I could describe them was human... ish

They were moving toward us, and from the look in their white eyes, we were on the menu.

Almost sensing that we were going to scream Jason covered our mouths and picked us both up. He then made a beeline for the back door and then we saw what had happened. Our house was ripped apart, precious ornaments lay broken on the floor, bookshelves fallen over, walls caved in. Jason took us into the back yard and around to the gate that separated the back and front yards, we saw more of 'them' they were trying to get into the house. Then Jenna joined us her clothes were ripped and splattered with... ink? She had the bag that my mother left with us.

"Jeez girls, what do you have in here?" Jenna said almost sarcastically,

"Jenna we don't have time," Jason said, obviously pissed off, "we need to get out of here,"

The 'things' had made their way out of the house and were following us. Their groans were extremely unnerving, as was their ashen, rotting skin.

"Shit," Jenna muttered, "we need to find a way out, NOW,"

"we can get out through that gap in the fence," Niki said, pointing to the gap in the fence between our house and the neighbours house.

"Perfect," Jason said as he sighed with relief.

We all went through one by one then blocked the hole with a large pot plant. We caught our breath and I noticed how our rescuers looked for the first time. Jason had light brown hair, brown eyes and he looked no older than 17, Jenna had dark brown, almost black hair that was tied into a messy bun and Hazel eyes.

As soon as we all caught our breath, a massive, dented, black 4WD pulled up at the house followed by more 'things', Jason and Jenna started running towards the car shooting 'them' as they went. We followed behind supporting the weight of the heavy bag as we ran towards the car. As soon as we got in the car we met Kyle and Rose. Rose had light brown hair in a pixie cut and blue-grey eyes, Kyle had black hair and Brown eyes.

We were driving for about half an hour, no one really talked, Niki and I were too shaken to talk to each other so the car was silent until Rose broke the silence.

"How old are you girls," asked rose in a slightly European accent as she was driving the giant car.

"We're both Eleven," Niki said

"What were those things?" I asked as soon as Niki finished taking because it had been on my mind since I could think straight.

"We don't really know," Jason answered, "maybe its a virus, maybe they're sick, or maybe they are, i dunno, what else could they be,"

 "SHIT WATCH OUT," Kyle yelled from the passenger seat. One of 'them' was on the road crouched over something. Rose slammed on the breaks and drew its attention. Jenna got out of the car and pulled out a knife so big it could be mistaken as a sword and killed it as she chopped into its skin a thick black liquid oozed out instead of blood. Then we saw what it was so interested in.

A girl, no older than 15, lay sprawled in a weird position, her back obviously broken in many places, her insides painted the bitumen red and the 'thing' had her blood all over its face. Kyle got out of the car to help Jenna move them.

"What the fu-, oops sorry girls," said Jason, "You girls shouldn't see this."

"How did you get into that room, was it one of them?" he asked

We told him the story of how my mum locked us in there with the bag, it was now obvious that she was trying to keep us safe.

"How did you guys meet, and what happened?" I asked.

"Well I don't know what happened but pretty soon after the power went off for good they started appearing in groups, Kyle and I met up then we found Jenna, Rose and you guys,"

"how di-" Niki started but was cut off by Jenna screaming.
