It was a classic story. Perfect boy meets perfect girl, prom king and queen. They get married right out of high school and buy a house at 18.After three years they had a child, a lovely little boy named Beck, and he became their whole world. That's when boy decided to tell girl his secret, the one dark thing he had never told her for fear that she would run away, only to find that she was accepting, and loving despite it.
As time went on, that secret evolved into tradition, and soon the whole family was doing the one thing he had always been scared to tell her about. Beck became the stereotypical bad boy, but deep down he was just doing everything he did for love of his family.

Hallie was just like everyone else. Sort of. She always blended in, making good grades but never standing out, living what she considered to be a bland life. Her routine had been the same for four years, always the same. Every day for four years, never changing. Her weekend plans usually stayed the same as well, seeing as how she'd only ever had two friends in her entire life, Jacob and Isadora. Throughout the years, the three of them grew together and blossomed as people, though never straying from their tight-knit circle.
One day, a new kid transfers into their school, a bad boy named Beck who'd been kicked out of four schools in two years, or so they said. Hallie took no interest in him, and expected him to not take an interest in her, seeing as how he could have any girl- or guy- in their school, but boy, was she wrong.
Beck does take an interest in her, and somehow their lives become more intertwined than she could ever imagine. Dark secrets will be uncovered, hearts broken, and love lost. Throw in some cannibals, and it's a party.
It was a Sunday night, family night for the Greens. They were playing a board game when it happened. At exactly 11:11 pm; a time for wishes, a sixteen year old girl wished for true love one day. At that exact moment her window smashed and something flew into her room. It was a flock of them; they attracted the house and only took one thing: the girl.
She remembers it clearly, the way she screamed scared out of her mind. The way it grabbed her waist and took off. She remembers screaming for help but no one came to her rescue. Oh how she wishes that she left her safety knife in her room. Then they would be safe. Her family! She just hopes they were fine, but the conclusion that she was taken says that her family would be back to normal soon.
She sighs and thinks over her life. From a little kid she was always the loner. But her family loved her to death. It all changed when she turned ten. The world was changing.
She remembers the exact day at the exact time. Her birthday; she calls it the hell day. Something bad always happens on her birthday and that year was the worst so far.
On February 20/2020 at exactly 2:20 On the news they had let out the horrible announcement. Scientist's experiments had gone wrong. They call them the "Stone Devils". They were escaping from the labs and into our world.
Made of stone and all male. Winged creatures that come into the night. Steal and kill their prey. That's what she heard but she didn't believe it until a few nights ago.
(kinda like the movie Warm Bodies)
