|Audree|
Zahaire makes sure that I make it into my dorm before he walks away towards his car.
I make it inside and sit on the side of my bed. Delilah gives me a smile and I smile back at her.
"Hey weirdo, how was your day?" I asked as I empty the contents of my pockets onto my dresser.
"Eh, it was okay. My classes were pretty boring today."
"That's go-,"
"OH MY GOD! SOMEONE- SOMEONE HELP!"
I jump up in my bed and look at Delilah.
We both get out of our beds and run towards the scream.
What could it be now!? I really don't need anymore drama today.
It leads us to a girl who's fallen on her knees in the hallway.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked as I carefully helped the girl up.
Her body is trembling and tears fall down her face.
"I-," she pauses, her voice shaky. "My roommate, s-she-,"
She lets out a wail and the girl can't speak anymore.
All she does is point inside of her room and fall into the floor.
"J-j-just go see...for yourselves!" She chokes out.
"Stay here."
I walk towards the dorm room door and slowly walk inside.
Delilah is close behind me.
So far everything looks normal, I don't know what she was worried ab-
"Audree look..." Delilah says her voice full of horror.
I glance to the side of the room and gasp.
"I-is that?" I gag and cover my mouth looking away from the scene in front of me.
Delilah looks away copying my movements.
"I've never seen anything like this!" Delilah states. "I-it's like they aren't human..."
In front of us lies a creature with a weirdly shaped head and three fingers.
It's skin has multiple cuts on it and its body is frail and skinny. If I touched it, it's bone would probably break.
"I-I'll go contact the school's security, you go to our dorm and call the cops from your phone!"
Since I have no other ideas, I follow Delilah's plan.
Turning around, I make my way back to our dorm room.
I grab my phone off of my dresser and quickly dial 911.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Hello, I need to report a-a dead alien!"
