Prologue
Screams could be heard throughout the deserted streets. The bitter-sweet stench of death permeated the once breathable air. Moans and groans could be heard as the noise of shuffling of feet made their way down the black tar roads and driveways. A child screamed as their parents were murdered before their very eyes. It started a frenzy and soon enough they all crowded around and began to feast on the child's once very alive protectors. Another scream followed by a crash and a gunshot. It wouldn't be long before they came for me. It was only a matter of time. The once full of life Phoenix streets were now one of the deadliest places on earth. They moved in packs, huddled together so if you were spotted you'd have a slim to no chance of survival. They'd all come for us soon enough.
I'd lost enough people in my life, I had to get to Forks to save my father. I only hoped that they hadn't gotten to him just yet. I didn't know how I'd get to him but I would, even if it was the last thing I do which could very well end up being just that. A loud pounding sounded at the door and I reached for my gun, ready to defend myself at any given moment. I slowly stalked towards the door, the safety on the gun pulled back so the moment it was needed it would be ready for use.
As I grew nearer to the old, wooden door the pounding grew louder and more frequent. Like a steady heartbeat.
Thump-Thump… Thump-Thump… Thump-Thump… Thump-Thump…
I slowly and cautiously peered through the peephole trying to make as little noise as possible. Crap, I'm going to die. That was the last thought I had before the door caved in and they came barrelling towards me.
