Chapter 1: Screams and Silence
I was never a big fan of family parties. Not that I hate my family or anything, but family parties just never interested me. My dad decided to invite his side of the family over for a day, for no apparent reason. So my plan for the day, was to chill in, what my friends call, my highlighter tank top, my gym shorts, and my makeup. That's exactly what I was doing. I was just lying on my bed, watching some boring news report on the Green Flu, listening to everyone talk and laugh downstairs.
Then there were screams.
Then there was silence.
The only noise was my TV, my heavy breathing, and a woman crying.
My eyes were wide and my hands were shaking.
I slowly slid off my bed, and walked over to my bedroom door. My feet sank into the plushy carpet with every slow step.
I finally reached my door, and slid my sweaty, shaking hand onto the doorknob. The doorknob turned silently, and my door opened with a loud creak. The thing outside startled me, but I managed not to scream. Things went terribly wrong when the pale thing saw me.
Then it growled.
Then it screamed.
Then it ran, right for me.
"Oh shit!"
