Chapter four: Decade old war
(Hawaii – Apartment, 07:00)
Her alarm went of next to her with a screech, she sat up and put it of, now realizing she hadn't even had a cigarette since last night, she took one out of her purse and lit it.
Then her dreams returned to her, she was surprised about it, for the first time in 5 year she didn't dream about the ocean, she dreamt about those creatures.
She looked around her, everything was still intact. She got up and killed her cigarette on her way to the bathroom; she had to take a bath at least.
Just as she reached the door she decided to get a broom, she might as well swipe it to the side until she had the will to clean it up.
When she got inside the bathroom she looked at the creature with the green acid around it, she came to realize the acid did not hurt the creature self, only its surroundings.
She swept it to the side, along with all the glass, that started to dissolve as it touched the acid, some of the bristles on the broom also dissolved inro nothingness.
When she was done she began to pour in the bath water, walking out of the bathroom once she was done.
She opened her curtains and looked outside, which was when she noticed it. At least 5 of those giant black creatures were on the beach, attacking a human, she was disgusted as she saw them rip at the human until he or she fell dead on the ground, blood tinting the sand.
She saw no cars or other humans; she immediately closed the curtains in panic. "Oh god…" She whispered, the thought of being the only one left made her cringe, then and there she decided not to go to work.
She rushed to her phone, and quickly dialed the police station; she started to panic when no one picked up. "C'mon Amber, you annoying bitch, pick up!" She yelled softly and then threw the phone down on the bed, running to the bathroom and turned off the water and walked back into her room.
"How long before they find me?" She asked herself and that was when she heard growling outside her window, she slowly turned to it, and there was an outline of the black creature at her window.
She didn't even think for a second it didn't know she was in here; the thing had no eyes, so it had to be able to sense her. Just then it came crashing through the window, falling onto the carpet and the cuts it got from the glass oozed out acid, burning her carpet.
She felt a knot in her throat, she didn't want to die, but then again, neither did that poor person on the beach.
Its lips quivered as it hissed at her and she felt her blood run cold. "I won't die; I refuse to die you monster!" She yelled and then started to run to the kitchen to get a weapon of sorts, anything; but before she could she felt claws tear into her back. She let out a painful scream, but continued to run to the kitchen, when she got inside she slammed the door closed.
Thrashing through the drawers as the creature was hitting holes in her door. She turned on her iron and started to boil water, anything to fend it off; it would be at least a minute before that thing broke through her door.
She got out all sorts of weaponry, but she found a partially lethal one, something she learned when she was still very young. Deodorant and a lighter made a flamethrower of sorts.
Just then the creatures hand shot through the door, she took the deodorant and sprayed it's hand as good as she could, then stepped back a meter and lit her lighter, spraying the deodorant on the tip of the flame, a burst of fire erupted and hit the monsters arm, it immediately erupted in it's own set of fire and the creature ripped its arm away from the door. She heard it scream, just hoping it wouldn't burn down her apartment.
A few moments later everything was quiet; she didn't hear the flicker of fire or smell smoke. She heard nothing; it was a relief and an uncertainty at the same time.
She looked through the hole the creature created from a distance and saw nothing, then she gently walked closer and stuck the point of a mop through the hole, nothing.
Unsure of what she should do she pulled back the mop; she was safe in the kitchen until they discovered the giant window behind her.
The only possible safe place was the bathroom, no windows, only one door. She turned of her iron and took the lighter and spray with her and she opened the door. Just as she got outside she was greeted by the same creature. Sitting on all fours and growling at her.
She was about to say goodbye to her life when something else came crashing through her front door, ripping it off completely.
She shot around and saw something completely different from the creature behind her…
