Camera's POV
Nothing was seen from my cracked camera lens.
Muffled sounds were heard.
Screams.
Gasps.
It sounded like death.
What's going on…
Amu's POV
The jaw came right down close to my face.
The creature was hovering above me.
Getting closer and closer.
It's as if the creature it smelling me.
I can smell its breath. It smells like year old ham down with three year old milk.
I'm gagging. I'm ready to throw up on this things face.
I don't know why it's just looking at me.
I'm so scared…
It's getting closer now. This is it.
Its face is on mine. I can feel its saliva on my cheek.
It's opening its mouth. I'm closing my eyes now. I don't want to see this.
Someone please tell my parents I love them.
This is the longest time of my life.
"EWWWW" I hollered out.
I'm pretty sure this thing just licked me…
It LICKED me…
I opened my eyes and sat up. The thing was sitting at my feet. I got a little closer, pulling out my gun. I flashed my light on its face, and saw the glowing red eyes. I just jumped about a foot, this thing is ugly….
I think it would be a smart idea to see the rest of the creature.
As I shined the light on the creature, I couldn't believe how much of an idiot I am.
It's not one of them. Not at all.
This thing is round. It's fuzzy. It slobbers.
It's a dog. Standing on four legs, this dog is about five feet tall. Its fur is matted down with blood, so I can't tell what colour he actually is.
How this dog has survived is beyond me. After most of the humans were gone, the animals were next.
The dog is timidly looking at me, wagging its tail. Maybe, since I'm going to be alone probably until I die, I may as well take him with me… right?
I'm about to pet the dog now. It's sort of growling at me… Why? I'm being nice.
I lay a hand on the dog's head and stroke it for a second, but then he backed up and walked away.
That's alright, I'll try later. I need to finish what I'm doing and leave.
First, I need to find my camera and cross bow. I'm shining my flash light on the floor up here to find it. I can't see a thing thou-
"OH SHIT." Something's touching me! I really need to stop yelling, but, things need to stop touching me!
It feels like… Like the dog is licking my cut leg… Oh, and it is… Weird…
"Good boy. Wanna come with me? Yeah? Yeah you do! Good boy!" The dog is wagging its tail at me, that's good. I'll think of a name for him later.
I found my camera! It was on the top step. That's a stupid place for a camera. Anyways. I'm tiptoeing down the stairs. I know exactly where I dropped my cross bow. This dog is at my heels every step. I can imagine this is going to be a love hate relationship.
I pick up my cross bow, and put it on my back. I'm going into the kitchen; I know we have cases of bottled water in here. I peak around the corner to check for them, but I don't see any. I'm going to put the camera down now, so I can get stuff and put it in the room with my parents before their silent alarm goes off.
Camera's POV
Everything is black.
Nothing is seen.
Although, shuffling is heard for about an hour. A few yelps and swears are softly heard by Amu as she collects the food and water for her parents, and also some for herself.
A soft creaking noise was heard as Amu opened the door back to her parents. She was stacking the cases of water just inside the door. She also left a bunch of food in the room with them.
It was around 5:45AM now, and her parents would be up soon.
Amu's POV
I just finished putting food and water in my parent's safe haven. I can't say it's mine anymore, because I'm not going back… Not until I know where to go. Until we have somewhere safe to go.
I'm getting something to eat. I need to eat. I have no strength or energy really. I'm sitting here, eating an entire package of oatmeal with cold water, and it's disgusting. I notice my little doggy friend staring at me intently, and I realize, he probably hasn't eaten for a long time either. I'm pouring him a big bowl of stale corn flakes, and he's happily eating it up. I'll have to make a note to get some dog food next time I'm near a market.
I packed 20 bottles of water, and as much food as my backpack would carry. That should hold me off for a while, right…? It's probably smart to bring other clothes too, but if I did that, I'd have to take out some bottles of water. That's not a problem; a girl can never have too many clothes.
I'm now running up the stairs, quietly, to pack two extra shirts, shorts and a pair of pants. I also threw a sweater over top of my tank top so I won't freeze. I took out eight water bottles to fit the clothes. Not a problem.
I now have to write my parents a note. This is going to be the hard part… I'm going back downstairs to the kitchen to find a pen and a note pad.
I find one on top of the fridge. It's a special note pad that we had made with Ami's face on it. Once I'm done writing this, I'm taking the note pad with me. I miss my little sister.
Dear mom and dad.
I left. I know you probably hate me for this, and you're probably really hurt, but I need to find a safer place for us. I love you guys so much, and I will be back. I even have a faithful sidekick to come with me. He's a huge dog. I left you water and food. It should last you until I get back. The house is clear, for now. I don't know how long for. I Will be back. Don't worry about me. I love you guys so so so so so much. I'm sorry for leaving. I'm also sorry for the tear drops on this sheet. I hate leaving you like this, but I know you would've said no. You'd be too worried that I would end up like my poor little sister. But I promise, I will kill the one that got her. Be safe. I'll be back. I love you.
Love, Amu.
Tears are steaming down my face as I place this note on top of the stack of water bottles. I silently and lightly kiss my parents on the cheeks. I'm heading to grab my bag now, and then I'm leaving.
I take one last peak out of the curtains blocking the broken, sliding glass door, and the back yard.
I take one step out, and at this moment, I know, it's live or die. If I get caught, I'm dead. If I don't, and I survive this whole thing, well, then, I'm a legend.
Another chapter done. Sorry it's pretty boring. It's just kind of a filler. It was supposed to tell parts of the story. More is coming! Review and let me know!
