"Holy shit." Brooke whispered as the restaurant building shook.
The people around them got up from the tables and ran outside. Suddenly, as the five friends made their way outside, a roar erupted.
"What the hell is that?" Lucas said to no one, looking around at the panicked New Yorkers and fellow tourists.
"That was definitely a Godzilla-like sound." Peyton whispered. A second roar erupted and people started running.
The five of them made their way into a nearby store as dust started to consume the streets. They ducked in between the aisles as people started streaming in, covered in debris. There were the cries of children coming from a few rows over.
"Oh my God, what the hell is that?" Peyton cried as something moved down the street out in front of the store. They could barely see anything, but they could tell something huge was moving out there.
"I don't know but we have to get out of here." Lucas said as other people moved out the store as the creature was gone.
The group made their way outside and coughed as they inhaled the dust. People were still frantically running, and as one man made his way past them, Lucas grabbed his arm.
"What's going on?" He asked.
The man turned, panicked. "Something's attacking the city. Everyone's heading for the Brooklyn Bridge." Lucas let go of his arm and the man took off.
"We have to get to that bridge." Nathan said.
"Let's follow everybody else." Haley said, pointing to the steady stream of people.

"Where are we going, Sadie?" Lucy asked as they wandered the deserted streets.
"I don't know." Sadie said, trying not to cry. Suddenly a man and woman with two little kids came running in their direction.
"Where are you kids going?" The man asked, holding a little girl in his arms.
"I don't know. We lost out parents in the crowd." Sadie said.
"Come with us." The mother said. Sadie and Lucy nodded, following the family.

"Stay together." Lucas said as they approached the bridge and the mob of people crossing it.
Brooke and Peyton clasped hands and they turned to each other frightened. Nathan locked his arm around Haley's waist as Lucas locked his around Brooke's shoulders. Brooke looked up at him and smiled slightly, feeling a small bit better.
They were almost to the middle of the bridge when something crashed against the side of it. People started screaming, turning in the opposite direction. The gang did the same, running back towards Manhattan.
"What's going on?" Brooke asked.
"Something hit the bridge. We have to get off it." Nathan answered.
There was a loud roar and everyone looked back to see the other half of the bridge collapse into the water.
"Holy shit."
