We reached Lory's house and I walked up to the door. I knocked on the door and Connor opened it and gave me a hug. "Bro we missed you." Everyone else came to the door and it was a big hug circle and then I said "Where's Lory?" "She said she needed to go somewhere." Sophie said and I asked "Where did she go?" "Well... she went to a bar."
"Which one?" "The one near the diner." Sophie said. "I'm going to go say hi." I said and I walked over to the car. I hopped in and started the car. "Jack wanna come?" I asked and he ran over to the car and got in.
"We'll be back later." I said and pulled out of the driveway and towards the bar.
We reached the parking lot and I parked the car. "Just stay here." I said and hopped out of the car. I walked into the bar. I opened the doors and looked around. It was loud and there were people everywhere, playing pool, drinking, smoking, disgusting, I thought as someone walked past me and puffed cigarette smoke into me face.
I looked around and saw Lory sitting in a booth, laughing with another guy, and then they kissed. I walked over to them and said "Lory?" She looked at me and then said "Umm hello?" "Who's this?" I asked and she looked at the person next to her and she said "This is CJ." CJ stood up and said "Hey, we were in the middle of something, so back off." He said and went to push me.
I grabbed his arm and pushed it away. He stepped out of the booth and said "I'll deal with him baby." He whistled and about four or five people walked around me. "No baby, let's go." Lory said in a worried voice. CJ pulled away and said "No, he interrupted us, and he's going to pay for it." He turned to me and said "Come at me." And he got in a fighting stance.
He swung at my face and I moved out for he way and punched him in the cheek and then kneed him in the stomach, upper cut, and then a jab in the face. He fell backwards and I turned and someone ran at me. All of a sudden my head throbbed and I ran at him, punched him in the face, picked him up and slammed him onto the floor.
I turned, kicked a guy in the side of the knee and punched a guy to my left in the face. I turned back to the guy I kicked and punched him in the face, turned back, grabbed a pool stick and hit him in the face.
I turned and shoved the tip of the pool stick into someone's stomach. I pushed them to the floor, grabbed the pool stick and slammed it on the persons stomach and it broke in half.
     I turned and saw one more, person and they were huge. They walked towards me and threw a punch at my face. I moved to the side, then again, back, and then I was up against the pool table. I grabbed the eight ball, and slammed it into the persons face.
     Their face turned to the side and then they looked at me. There was blood trickling down their face and then they swung at my face. I ducked and dropped the eight ball,  punched them in the gut, once, twice, three times, uppercut, jab in the face.
     They stepped back once and I started punching them in the face, repeatedly. They stepped back and then kicked me in the stomach, and I fell back onto the floor. I looked to my left and grabbed a sharp pool stick that had broken in half and I got up.
     I stood up and ran at them, ducked as they swung at my face, punched them in the kidney, kicked them in the knee and stuck the pool stick into their arm. I stepped back as they pulled the pool stick out of their arm and I saw their veins turn black and pop out of there neck, arms, and face. The lights flickered and they ran at me and punched me in the face, once, twice, three times and I was pressed up against the wall.
     They head butted me and my head slammed against the wall. I reached in my pocket and pulled out the pocket knife and stuck it in their neck. They dropped me and I reached up and pulled the knife out of their neck. I sliced at their cheek and they put a hand to their face.
     I looked at a table and grabbed a vase off of the table and walked over to them and slammed the vase into their face. They fell to the ground and then started getting up slowly. "Lory, get in Jacks car outside." Lory ran outside and I punched them in the face again.
     I looked around and more people started walking towards me with pool sticks. I turned and ran towards the door. Someone stepped in front of me and I put my knife away and pushed them out of the way.
     I ran and opened the door and looked around. "Come on, GET IN THE CAR!" Jack yelled and I ran over to the car and jumped in and pulled out of the parking lot. I drove towards Lory's house and pulled into the driveway. "Jack can you give us a minute?" I asked and he nodded and walked out of the car and into the house.
     I stopped the car and turned around and looked at Lory. "What the fuck Lory?" She looked at me and then opened the door and got out of the car. I got out of the car and ran after her. I grabbed her by the arm and said "Why, why the fuck would you do that to me?" She looked at me and then said "I don't feel so good." I looked at her veins and they started turning black. "Shit..." I said and then there was a shriek.
     I looked to my right and saw a shadow in the street and it was the same from earlier at Jacks house. All of a sudden in the middle of the street appeared a creature with yellow eyes and black fur all around it, a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, standing on two legs, and inch long claws.
     "We need to get inside." I said and that's when Lory fell to the ground.
