~Chapter 1~
The Night
It was dark at the time I saw it. It was a normal walk; I did this almost every night: went for a walk then came home like I normally did and went to sleep. But that walk was different and after that my eyes opened up to the horde that was growing by the minute. So, let me explain it to you. I left my house around midnight and it was a bit cold, I could clearly see my breathe with each breathe I took. Everyone was asleep so I had to be really quiet when I left. After I shut the door I took my phone out, tapping the screen to light it up and check the time, I just checked it 2 or 3 minutes before but eh who cares. It was 12:13 AM and time for the walk. I walked down the steps and down the driveway taking a deep breath and sighing gently. The sky was almost clear yet the streets were fogged. I stepped onto the pavement of the rode with my bare foot, wincing a bit as I stepped on a sharp rock. "Damn..." I muttered softly, I stepped off of it quickly and to another spot then began down the street. The fog seemed to get denser as I continued. There were sirens in the distance but that was nothing. There was a neighborhood not too far from mine that always had the cops prowling around in it. As I made it to a split in the road I shifted my movement and headed off down another street. The sirens seemed to last forever and didn't move at all. It was a little off and was not too far. The street was long and went for about a mile then dropped into a hill wrapped around to another road and back towards my house. Long walk and not to mention it was a cool night so what the hell why not? When I made it a couple of feet away from the hill I noticed a young male on the ground screaming in pain rolling about as blood poured from his arm, being how I am I rushed over and looked down at him staring. "Sir are you alright?" I shouted seeing him freak out still. Taking a deep breath I forced the male to lie on his back and checked out the wound on his arm. It looked like a large chunk was bitten out of his arm but who would be able to bite his arm and be able to rip skin like that whatever bit him wasn't human. It was completely different that human. I ripped a part of the males' bloody shirt and pulled it into a large piece of cloth wrapping his arm up to stop the bleeding. Hopefully he didn't lose too much blood or he'd be dead within five minutes. Seeing the blood splatter all over the road it was a surprise he wasn't already dead. I stood up and looked around for someone or something that could have bit him. A carnivore would normally finish the job and not leave him lying there dying, and the blood was in a puddle even around him there was no sign of him being dragged. At that moment I noticed a change in the area and the man had grown silent. Right about then when I looked down he grabbed my leg and tried to bite at me. Quickly I kicked the man off staring down at him with a glare. "The hell is your problem I save your ass and you tried to bite me?" The male lunged for my leg again still on the ground, again I kicked him. What really bothered me was he was moaning in a dead tone every few seconds and wouldn't say a single word. It was kind of freaking me out honestly. I then turned away and started to walk away. I didn't know what that thing was nor did I really want to know as far as I know was that it was human and just wanted to be a total dick to me at the time. I took a deep breath sighing then began to head back home. After that it was time to get to the house and rest til the morning. Turning back onto my main road I noticed the sirens were still going off then looked down the street to see a bit of fire with a wrecked car. Behind the burning flames I saw a large group of people. Some had an arm missing, some with an eye hanging down. All of them covered in blood and moaning like they were all being raped at the same time. This is what really freaked me out and really made the decision to take my happy little ass home, Turning I rushed down my street and stopped a couple of feet from my house walking quietly around the fence that blocked off my house from the next. Silently I slipped through my front door as if I were a ninja. I then looked about at the pitch black area I called my living room. As I began sneaking through the room I perked as my foot slammed into the back of my dog sleeping in the middle of the floor "Damn dog get out the way." I muttered beneath my breath. Shaking my head I proceeded into my room opening the door silently looking at the soft glow of my monitor. Sighing, I stripped out of my pants and shirt and fell into my bed feeling myself sink into it. "Ahh so comfy..." I muttered before sliding the white blanket over my body and slipping off into a slumber.
