A/N: Hi everyone! :) This is my first fanfic… I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense, it's about 3AM here and I wanted to post it as soon as possible.

They're howling again, I thought to myself. They must've gotten something good to eat. I groggily rolled over in the darkness. Judging by the small slivers of light coming in from the boarded windows, it seemed to be early in the morning, probably around 4 AM. My old, worn down apartment was barely visible in the early morning glow. Howls and snarls filled the air as I pushed myself off the stiff couch and towards the kitchen across from me. I went to the nearest cupboard, and pulled out a box of crackers and a bottle of water. I felt my way through the darkness to the dining room set. It's times like these that I'm thankful for a two room apartment: bathroom and everything else.

I stumbled into the hard, wooden chair. My shin screamed with pain as I yelped loudly. Everything went silent. No howling, growling, snarling... nothing. The sound of my breathing was getting louder and louder.

I dropped my breakfast and quickly felt around the dining room table for my pistol. I could've sworn I put it here, I thought. Then, suddenly, a board on the window started to crack. A gleam of moonlight was let in, and reflected off of the pistol. I broke out into a sprint, grabbed the gun, and ran to the bathroom.

"Thank God for a ground floor apartment... ",

I mumbled sarcastically to myself as I locked the door and leaned against it. The smell of rotting bodies became stronger, and the shuffling of their feet grew louder. There was a strong, thumping noise coming from behind the door. I squeezed my eyes shut, and slowly stepped away. I felt my way through the dark to the tub and perched myself on the cold edge.

I watched them as they punched holes in my bathroom door, letting the moonlight shine through. Their hissing and growling filled the small, dark room.

Tears started to pour down my face. I shifted from the edge of the tub to inside. As their howls turned into shrieks, I stared down at my gun. I pulled it up to my head, ready to pull the trigger...

"BELLA, WAKE UP!"

My eyes fluttered open. Pain struck my head like a ton of bricks as the afternoon sunlight came streaming in. Right next to my ear sat Alice, my roommate, sitting on her knees, with frown on her face. The sun twinkled off of her ice blue eyes, which held a worried look.

"Alice, what's wrong?" I groggily asked.

"Bella, you were screaming and crying… are you okay?" She asked with a worried tone.

"Yep. Fine. Just a bad dream." I gave her a small smile.

She scrunched her eyebrows together, nodded and started to leave our room. As she got to the door, she craned her neck back in my direction. "You should get ready. Rosalie's coming over with some lunch", she said with a small smile and left.

I sat up on my elbows and took in my surroundings. The walls were a light yellow-green, and the floors were a tan carpet. The room was only big enough for two beds, two dressers and a ceiling light. The window behind my head overlooked a small tree, which held a nest of birds that were chirping loudly.

I quietly groaned as I pushed myself off the bed. I went to my dresser and pulled out light blue skinny jeans and a dark blue tee-shirt. As I walked out of our room and into the bathroom straight across, I thought about the dream. I've been having that dream for about a month now… and the same thing happened every time. As I brushed my teeth and changed, I thought back.

Have I been watching any horror movies? No…

Read any horror books? No, again.

I stopped thinking and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked weary, and my dark brown eyes were very flat. A timid knock at the door broke me out of my trance.

"Bella, Rose is here. She brought some food from Edward's café."

I grinned at the name. Edward Masen was the beautiful bronze-haired man who owned the greatest café in town. He was the only guy I've ever wanted… and he's the only guy I'll never get. As soon as that thought came to my mind, my smile vanished. I quickly remembered Alice and Rose were waiting for me to come and eat. I exited the bathroom and threw my clothes onto my bed. My bare feet padded against the hardwood as I walked towards the dining table where Rose and Alice sat, eating lasagna. I sat down at the circular table and smiled widely at my two best friends. Alice handed me my piece of lasagna.

"Guys…", Rosalie started. "I have something really, really big to tell you."

Alice and I sat in anticipation. Rosalie flashed a radiant smile, "well, I – ".

Rosalie's sentence was cut short due to a woman screaming outside. We bolted towards the large, living room window. Our apartment, which was on the fourth floor, gave us the perfect view of what was happening down below.

There were two men were in the middle of the street. They each looked completely different. One was about 6'1", with long, black hair and the other looked to be about 5'11" with short brown hair. They both varied in ages, too. The black-haired one looked to be about thirty years of age, while the brown-haired one was merely sixteen. They were quite different. Except for two things: they both had pale, gray skin, and they were both brutally attacking innocent bystanders.

They were ripping limbs from people walking by, and eating the flesh.

Rosalie, Alice and I watched in terror as bodies were being ripped from limb-to-limb. I was caught in some sort of sick trance by those ghastly beings when I heard Alice gasp and yell,

"Bella, Rosalie... t-the bodies... look at them...". I looked at Alice's shaking form, then down to the streets.

People who we thought were dead were standing up, walking around, and attacking passerbys. I couldn't move. I was aware of Rosalie running to the bathroom to throw up. I was aware of Alice crying and gasping for air. I was aware that our city was being mauled as we watched from above... but I was paralyzed. We had to get to Edward's... we needed to get to Edward's... whether Alice and Rosalie liked it or not.
