Awake

Chapter 1

I opened my eyes quickly and was drenched in sweat because of the nightmare I had just woken up from. "Growl..." I heard coming from my parents room. "What is that?" I wondered. I got out of my bed cautiously and slowly crept towards my parents room. I heard more growling noises. I was scared. "Mom? Dad? Are you there?" I called out quietly down the dark hallway. I got no response. I gulped and walked to my parents room. Their door was cracked open. I opened the door slowly and stared at their bed. Their once white bed sheets were now completely red, topped with the corpses of my parents being eaten by flesh-eating freaks. "AHHHHHHH!" I shreiked and took off running towards my room. I slammed the door shut and hid under my covers. I heard banging on the door. "Go away!" I yelled as I wiped a my tear-streaked face. The banging continued. "Help!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I looked around the room for ways to escape. I saw two options. Open up my door and receive the same fate as my parents or climb down the tree outside my window. I opened the window and gripped a tree branch. I climbed down the trunk of the tree. I reached the bottom and sprinted towards my neighbors house. "Mr. and Mrs. Logan?!?" I yelled outside of my neighbors house. No response. I knocked on their front door really hard and loud. Mr. Logan opened the door sleepily wearing a black sleeping robe. He yawned. "What do you want sweetie? It's 4:00 A.M." Mr. Logan said sleepily. "Help me!" I yelled at him. "OK, come inside and tell me what's wrong." Mr. Logan said. I dashed inside and his behind his couch. "How about we go sit down at the kitchen table." Mr. Logan said pointing at the kitchen table. I sat down in one of the chairs. I told him what happened. Mr. Logan stared at me wide-eyed. "We have to call the police department! Kate, you go upstairs and go hide with my wife while I make a quick phone call" Mr. Logan said quickly. I nodded in agreement and dashed up stairs as quickly as I could. "Mrs. Logan?" I called out. "What is it, sweetie?" Mrs. Logan  asked. I saw a monster come up behind her. "Look out! Behind-" I yelled in shock. The monster chomped down on her neck and ripped the flesh off of the area it had bitten.
