Chapter 1:Taken
I was awoken by a phone call at what was around 3 am when the attack happened. My mother was calling, and this was apparently the 5th call as I was a heavy sleeper and I had 5 notifications about missed calls. I picked up. "Huh, what do you want, it's 3 am here." I said groggily. She must know this, as she lives in New York, and we have had incidents like this where she forgets what time it is here.
"Daniel, turn on your TV, and go to Fox News now!" She yelled. I could hear explosions and screams of terror in the background.
"What's going on there?!" I yelled. I didn't care about waking up my wife, Sophia.
"What's going on?" She said groggily.
"Honey, get Jack, now." I said. I was running down stairs to the living room, frantically looking for the TV remote. I found it just as Sophia was coming downstairs with our baby boy.
I turned on the TV to see a picture of The Empire State building being destroyed by some ship crashing into it. It then changed to a blonde woman in a red dress in maybe her 30's. "What you are seeing is not a joke, that was an unidentified aircraft destroying the Empire State building in New York City. Everyone, you need to stay inside your homes, lock your doors, and get a weapon if need be. The creatures or aliens coming out of these ships are hostile and attack anything with a heart beat it seems. They are almost indestructible to any type of weapon. Stay away from crashed ships as well. We have learned from the army that their appear to be these other creatures that appear to be black in color, are about 8 feet tall, and extremely hostile. If you see one, God help you. This is Diane Newt, and we will report any new even- OH FUCK! RUN!" The next things we saw was the camera man running with Diane until he dropped the camera and they got cornered against a wall by a tall black skinned creature with a long and sharp tail. It grabbed the camera man and held his head as some sort of second mouth came out and blew a hole in the poor mans head. Diane was crying begging for mercy when the thing began to drag her off camera with her still screaming. The camera then cut to a woman in a news station with her jaw dropped. I'll be honest, I just copied and pasted the News part from the original story, Fear. I got lazy, and it had to be the same!
"Mom? Are you ok?" No answer. I looked at my phone to see it saying that the call was lost. 'I hope she's ok.' I thought. I turned off the TV. I then looked at Sophia. "Honey, we need to leave now. Start packing any clothing you can find. I'll get as much food as possible, meet you at the car." I said. She immediately ran upstairs to grab clothes. I went into the kitchen and started grabbing a few bags and loading them up with food. After I actually got every bit of food, which I didn't expect, I made my way to the car. Sophia wasn't there. I loaded up the food and went back into the house, all of a sudden, there was a loud screeching noise, along with screaming. "Sophia!" I said as I ran upstairs, grabbing my bat as I ran up. I ran into Jack's room to see Sophia dying, with her being disemboweled, as I was able to see her large intestine hanging out, and Jack in the hands of the creature on TV. It screeched at me then ran out the broken window, presumably by him, with my son still in his hands. "NO!" I yelled as I ran to the window to see the creature running faster than anything before. He was running towards the Dollar General a few blocks down it looked like. I just remembered Sophia. I ran over to her. "Shit, shit, ok, you're gonna be ok." I lied. She wasn't going to make it, from being a surgeon, I've seen people disemboweled before, and they rarely made it, even when we sedated them and had a clean operating room.
"Don't lie to me, you never were good at it." She said, laughing a little, then coughing up blood. "Get our son back. Please, for me." She said. She then let out one last breath. I checked her pulse. Nothing. She was dead.
"Sophia?" I said with my voice cracking. I was beginning to cry. "Aaaaahhhhhhhh!" I screamed as I sobbed. After a few minutes of sobbing, I regained my composure. "I will Sophia, I'll get our son back if it's the last thing I do." I said. I went into our bedroom looking for something. I opened my drawer to find my 9mm glock, along with 4 fully loaded clips. I grabbed it all, and proceeded to our car, it was a Jeep. I started up the car and began to drive. 'Don't worry, daddy's coming' I thought as I drove down the direction the monster who killed my wife went.
