This is kind of an idea I just thought of, if this idea has ever been used, it's a pure coincidence. Tell me what you guys think of it!

I don't own Austin and Ally(or anything else you recognize).

PROLOGUE

One year ago

The hall was filled with placid stillness. In the midst of all the blur of events for the past five months, the people had hoped some light would be shone on the topic.

Although there was constant reassurance that they were safe within the towering brick wall of the city, fear and uncertainty hung over the city like a smog. Try as they might, nobody could shake themselves of the paranoia that gripped them kept them hostage. Would the mayor provide them insight? Would they be able to handle the truth?

With a heavy heart the balding man stepped onto the podium. The tension in the room was so palpable that even children dared not to cry or speak. The wind whistled through the air, the skies stormy gray.

"Habitants of Swamp Creek City," the man started. "As you all know, we are facing a difficult situation right now. Many people do not know what exactly is going on, so I will clear that up."

Peering at the crowd with his intense eyes, he started his explanation. "It's true that there is a horrendous beast on the loose outside of Swamp Creek." Several people gasped. "It is nothing to worry about, however, because our walls are impenetrable by the monster. Ten of our bravest, most skilled fighters are out there, hunting down the creature that is filling our lives with terror, consuming our very thoughts. I have no updates as of now, I can't guarantee anything. But we all have to have hope. This...this beast is limiting our freedom. Our citizens cannot go out of this city anymore without fearing for their lives, which is unacceptable! I can promise you all one thing; we will not go down without a fight."

The mayor's eyes were intense, determination was clear on his face. He swiftly stepped down from the podium with heavy footsteps, his speech sparking hope within the souls of the residents.

"Don't worry they will definitely succeed-"

"-I can't believe this is our life-"

"-all going to die, aren't we-"

"-God help us all."

The crowd trickled out of the clearing, buzzing with chatter and arguments.

Out of all people, one brunette was left.

Left staring at the podium with tears in her chocolate eyes.

Hi guys! i know its been a super long time since I've updated this story, so I've decided to rewrite the story to get reacquianted with the plot and the characters. Also, I am older now, and would like to pretend that I am at least a little better at writing now lmao. I'm not sure what direction I'll be taking this to so just bear with me!

Side note, this first chapter (technically the prologue) is weird because it's in a different perspective than the rest of the book but oh well.
