Chapter 1 - The Nightmare

Lainey's Pov

I never quite understood the way God made things go, but my parents being burnt in a house fire was nothing I could get over easily,but what did you expect, I was but a child then. It was a cold winter day in Montgomery, Alabama when I awoke to smoke and fir, i ran into the kitchen where my parents were backed against the wall reaching for me, I tried to get to them but firefighters were forcing me out of the building trying to keep me from being over exposed to smoke, I only had my phone in my hand as i kicked and screamed to get to my parents, by the time they lat go of me, it was to late for my parents. I could never trust authority over me, it made more since as to why I never likes adults who supposedly saved my life. I looked at my phone as it vibrated along with playing the theme song to my favorite anime, I opened it and lookes at the text from my best friend, Mary, telling me that there was a fire in the downtown area, so huge she could see it from her own home. I responded by making a shaking phone call to her, "Mary..." I whispered, "The fire... is at my house... my parents are gone..." I could hear her voice quiver and the phone slam against the hardwood floors of her room, it took a few seconds before she picked it back up again and asked me to repeat what happened. I explained the entire thing to her, all the while her parents were on their way to collect me from my home. Later that night as I lay there on a blow up matress on Mary's floor, I heard windows shattar and a squeeky little voice scream in fear. I awoke and rushed to shake Mary awake in panic and terror.

Mary's Pov

Maybe there was more to the world tan we know... Or realise... I still remember the day I first saw those cold, ice blue eyes...

I could hear arguing from the front room, i just thaught my parents were arguing about my little sister, Rebecca, again. So when my best friend, Lainey, lokked up at me for an explination, I just shrugged it off and told her to ignore it. We did but not for long... I heard my father yell a few cusswords before gunshots rang out. The shrill cry of my mothers voice rang clear to me, and both lainey and I screamed a little in fear when the door flew open and my sister ran in, covered head to toe in blood. "Mary, Mary" she cried, tears flooded my eyes as blood splurted from her mouth. 'N-no' I thaught 'T-this cant be happaning!' I have had many dreams before of my family being killed, though anyone I told said is was a fear of being alone, of loosing my family. I didn't believe that... They felt to real... Now right at this moment a loud bang almost split my ears, I felt Lainey cling to me arm and shield her face from the flash that came from the doorway. I opened my eyes when I felt somthing wet slosh across my face and dead weight fall into my lap. I only looked down to see Rebecca with a huge bullet hole in her head, soaked in blood, and still clinging to her Hello Kitty doll. "NOOO!" I screamed, i heard Lainey's cough and gag behing me, then felt her grip tighten as we both looked up to see the figure who was approaching. The face was not what one would expect, it was wrinkled, dry, with rotting grey skin. The eyes were coal black and teeth were sharp, both Lainey and I screamed at the sight, then out of nowhere laughter rang out. No not hehe haha kind of laughter, this was demonic insane laughter. I felt laineys grip loosen then pull away and turned to see a man in red holding her by the collar of her shirt. I opened my mouth to protest some smart-aleck remark but was stopped by the suddenness of someone snatching me back. i fell to the ground and looked up in time to see the man in red toss Lainey over, I huffed slightly as she landed on top of me. I clung to her in my left arm, slightly moving her off in the process, when the man in red began shooting at the monsters. I jumped when someone tapped my head, both Lainey and I lookes up to see a young girl in a police uniform, "Come with me then" she said seeming happier than she should in a position such as this. I shook my heas, refusing, and ran out of the room. dodged the man in red and his kill, it took me a few seconds to realise I was still holding Rebecca's body and i only held tighter. I could hear lainey calling my name but I was kneeling beside my mother and fathers bodies. "M-mommy D-d-daddy" tears rolled down my cheeks, "n-n... n-no... N-nooo! Daddy! Momma!" My breathing became heavy and labored, i began shaking as I let Rebecca's body slip from my arms. "Mary!" Lainey ran to me, i accepted the omforting hug she gave me and clung to her. I looked up into her tear streaked face, then both of us jumped at the deep voice that sounded. "Humans... I will never understand them..." The man in red kneeled down to our level causing us to lean away frightened. "My master, Sir Hellsing, will be delighted to meet you two..." Both Lainey's grip and mine tightened around each other. "No way... Its not possible" i heard her say, but the man took Laineys chin in his left hand and mine in the other, "Everything is alright" he said and the world around us went dark.
