Mute | Eric (A Quiet Place Day One)

A hand clasped over my mouth, my eyes widening. Eric put his finger to his lips.

Dakota nodded and covered her mouth, tears filling her eyes. I looked at Eric next to me, whose eyes were transfixed on the creature wreaking havoc.

My breath quivered and I felt Eric's hand press tighter against my face. He then quickly shielded me as debris fell all around the room.

The creature then made its way out of the building. Eric slowly removed his hand from my mouth. "We need to get out of here." He whispered.

I nodded, the three of us standing up and sneaking upstairs. Dakota looked up at him. "Thanks, Eric." A half smile appeared on his face and he said "you're welcome, Kota."

A story in which aliens with superhuman hearing invade Earth. And Eric falls for the girl he saved in the candy shop.
