*Yea! My first three reviews… I wanna thank Chandler01, Seira, and Summergirl63088 for reviewing! Thanks a lot! This next chapter is dedicated to them…You All Rock!

(1:00 A.M Monday)

It was a nice night, the stars shown brightly in the sky… and people relaxed as if nothing in the world could bother them. Sarah Romero, a 17- year-old girl, was on her front porch sipping a can of cola. Her parents were out of town for the week and she was alone. Earlier that day, like any other teenager home alone, she decided to throw a party. It had been eventful for a while but then people started getting drunk and some guys started fighting. So, in the end, she had to end the party early…looking back into the house she could see that a lot of damage had been done. Getting up from the porch, she decided to call some of her friends over to watch a scary movie. She would deal with the mess later...

As she was about to call her best friend Alana Stevens, the sound of someone pushing the doorbell continuously got her attention. "Alright, I'm coming! Geez, wait up a minute…," Sarah muttered. As she opened the door, Alana's face was there to greet her! "Damn, what happened up in here!?! It looks like a tornado went by or something!" Alana cried. The girl pushed her way in to the house and slammed the door behind her. " What the hell are you doing her---, Sarah began, but stoppd when she saw her friend's face. Alana's face was pale with fright, her hair disheveled. " Alana what's wrong?!" Sarah yelled in surprise.

"Brad's missing, Sarah! I don't know where he is!" the girl cried, her eyes tearing up.

"Wait a minute, Alana! What do you mean missing??"

Alana sighed sadly before walking into the living room. Sitting down on the sofa, she folded her hands nervously. "Well, he was supposed to drive me to your party tonight, but he never came to pick me up…I tried calling his cell, but he won't answer…I'm afraid he's hurt somewhere…" sobbed Alana. "I'm sorry, Lana…but I haven't heard from him," answered Sarah. Sniffling, Alana got up and walked towards the door. Taking one last look at Sarah, she turned and was about to put her hand on the handle, when suddenly… "BAM!" Stepping away from the door she scurried over to Sarah and grabbed onto her sleeve. "Did you hear that? It sounded like something was trying to get in…" Alana whispered. Walking over to the door, Sarah looked thru the peephole and gasped…on the other side of the door were two figures. One was bald and had a bloody T-shirt and the other was a man with a missing arm. Both were clawing at the door trying to break into the house! Sarah gave a yelp and grabbed Alana's hand as they both ran up the stairs. "What the hell are they!?!? Is this some kind of practical joke!?" screamed Alana. "If it is I'm not laughing! Those things looked like they really wanted to get in…they look way to freaky to be playing around" cried Sarah.

Running into Sarah's bedroom they locked the door and put a desk in front of it to make it harder for those things to get in. Suddenly there was a noise down stairs, followed by the sound of moaning. "They got in! How the hell did they get in?" cried Sarah. Then it occurred to her, one of the party guests must have left it unlocked! How could she be so stupid? Running over to her closet, she pulled out a baseball bat and held it protectively in front of her. Putting her ear next to the door, she listen for any sounds. After a few minutes of silence, she began to move the desk and slowly opened the door… "Are you crazy?! Those things ar dangerous! And they're still out there!" Alana cried. "Yeah, well it's better then staying in here! We're sitting ducks if we stay here!" Sarah shot back. Pulling the door open she peered out and saw…absoulutely nothing. Carefully, she walked out and signaled to Alana to follow her as she slowly decended the steps. She cringed as she saw the rotting corspe of the bald man lying in the middle of the room. Cautiously steeping over to the corpse she poked it with her bat. As she was about to move away, the man jumped up and grabbed her by the arm, bringing her harshly to the ground.



She cried out in pain from the impact but quickly began to struggle trying to kick the man away. Alana could only watch frozen in fear as her best friend struggled under the heavy bulge of this creature. "Get off me!" Sarah screamed. However, the man paid no attention to her cries and brought his mouth to her right shoulder biting into the flesh. Sarah screamed loudly as the man began ripping and tearing at her skin. Looking back at a shocked Alana, she could only scream one word as she was eaten alive. "RUN!" …and Alana did just that. Pulling open the door, she ran out into the street screaming and yelling for help. As she rounded a corner, she felt herself collide into something, landing heavily on her back with the stranger on top of her. Looking up with scared eyes, she screamed as she realized that this man was dead! The man leered at her before leaning down and biting into her arm. Alana screamed and kicked the man off with all her might. Getting up quickly she gave the man a kick in the face before running down the street again screaming at the top of her lungs….

***Back at Sarah's House…

Sarah's remains lay on the floor…chewed up and swallowed. All that was left was a chunk of meat. Mostly an arm and a leg…a few feet away her head lay sitting next to the television. On her face was an expression of fear, distraught, and regret…regret for being so careless…. Now, she was nothing but a piece of rotting meat…
