I turned the corner panting, heaving, and running. I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. I wasn't strong enough, not alone anyways. I looked around the corner and saw nothing. Where had it gone? I turned quickly and bolted for the nearest door when I heard a sudden sound. "SCREECH," I was only three steps from the door when it's large dead hand wrapped around my skinny waist. 'Oh, where are my friends when I need them,' I thought to myself. I was thrown into the air and caught as f I was a rag doll.
I threw the closest thing to me at it causing it to stumble. The next thing I knew I was on the ground underneath this thing and, to my surprise, I didn't know what it was. I stood up and backed away slowly. Once I was a couple of feet away I took off running. I had to find them as soon as possible. I started running towards the place we loved to hang out. Before I could get there though, I heard that blood-curdling screech behind me once again.
I ran with all my might and then some, but when I arrived at our hang out it was empty except for a sweater, a scarf, and a book. I couldn't handle it my friends they were… gone. Questions and feelings started flowing through my brain, but one feeling over ran them all, rage. 'I have had enough of these slimy good for nothing creatures ran all over I was going to find their leader and wipe this disgusting population of the planet,' I told myself determined to avenge my friends.
I went running down the hallway smelling all sorts of different odors, somewhere of rotting flesh, old food spoiling, and others were of other thing to sickening to mention. I heard something in a room as I was passing by. I entered holding the frying pan I found in the kitchen up as a weapon. I walked around looking very thoroughly through every corner when I saw something move behind me. I whipped around ready to hit whatever it was.
As I swung I barely missed it by inches which seconds later I was very happy about. One of my friends was alive and here in front of me. We gave each other a hug because we knew that we both were searching for each other. We quickly searched the rest of the room for food or weapons. Finding neither, we decided to search elsewhere until we found food in the dining hall, of course. After eating all that we could, we decided to store some for later. We found the closest bedroom that could lock and agreed we would stay there that night. We also agreed to search for or other friends tomorrow. That is if we manage to live that long. I pray I get another chance to write in this again.
