MAY 22 9:47PM
Everyone in the apartment is panicked talking over each other.
"Is everyone okay?" Edward asked looking around the apartment as the lights flickered back on.
Jasper runs through the party, making a beeline for Alice. "Are you okay?" He asked worried as he pulled her close. She nods slowly.
Emmett turns the camera around taking in the scene of the apartment; pictures off the walls, a lamp tipped over and shattered.
Rosalie passes by the camera, "Rosalie are you okay?" Emmett asks breathlessly, only to be ignored by her as she walks by.
"Is anyone hurt?" Jasper asked somewhere in the room.
Everyone throughout the room trades glances with one another and shakes their heads.
Emmett walks towards Jasper and Alice with the camera. "Jasper, what was that?" She says in a scared voice.
Before he can answer her, Edward moves towards the television turning to the news station. Emmett focuses the camera on the television, which is showing a Breaking Newscast in progress. A helicopter shot of New York Harbor is seen with coast guard patrol boats racing out to sea. The news banner reads "TANKER CAPSIZES IN NEW YORK HARBOR."
"…reports of an earthquake have been flooding emergency call centers throughout Manhattan." The news anchor says on the television, as the copter shot shows a capsized oil tanker below Liberty Island.
"…as I said, the Coast Guard reported the accident at 12:06 am, which was ten minutes before the disturbance-"
Just as the reporter says that, the windows rattle with the sounds of a helicopter flying right by.
"—unable to confirm it at this point what the disturbance was or if the two are, in fact, connected..."
"Hey guys, that's right out there," Emmett, said looking back to Edward and Jasper.
"We can probably see it from the roof." Jasper said with realization.
MAY 22 9:50 PM
Emmett follows Edward as they and the rest of the party move up the building stairs towards the roof.
"If it was an earthquake what the hell was that god damn noise?" Emmett asked as they walked through the doors leaving them on the roof.
"I don't know Em." Edward said looking out at Manhattan city. "I know I have never heard anything like that before."
Emmett turned the camera to where Edward was looking; showing glimpses of the New York Harbor, the Coast Guards searchlight stand out in the night sky.
Emmett moves closer to the edge of the building trying to zoom in on the harbor and get a better look. "Damn it I can't see anything!" He growled slightly. "It's too dark and to far away…" The picture turns into pixilated lights, which he quickly zooms out of.
"This is exactly what it was like before." Rosalie says of camera
Seth scoffs as she says this replying, "You weren't even in the city for that."
Emmett turns the camera towards the conversation as Jasper says. "It had to have been an earthquake."
"In Manhattan?" Rose says incredulous
"Oh My God. The Lights went out." Alice said as the lights flickered out.
"That's what I am saying…the lights wouldn't just flicker out-" Jasper replied only to be interrupted by Edward.
"That's still doesn't explain the sound-" A massive explosion erupts down at New York Harbor. Emmett whips the camera around trying to catch a glimpse of it, only making it shake as he taped huge fireball lighting up the harbor sky.
"Oh my god!" Alice shrieks as tendrils of smoke roll up, the party in chaos as they stare in panicked awe.
Emmet follows the debris that flies from the explosion, "HOLY SHIT! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" He screams seeing a large chunk of derris heading right for them.
Screams rip though the crowd as people dive out of the way, the only other sound heard is the deafening bang as it slams into the roof.
MAY 22 9:56 PM
Emmett jolts the camera in his frenzy to get out of the building with the rest of the party as screams resonate. Then a boom sounded making the building shake. "Holy SHIT! Holy Shit!" He screams with others, running behind Edward.
"What the hell was that?" Edward yelled looking back.
"Come on, let's go!" Jasper yelled among the party, from in front of them trying to get Alice out as fast as possible when the building shakes again, making Alice fall. Jasper scoops her up continuing to take two and three steps at a time.
"What the fuck!" Emmett yells as they spill into the street, as the whole city seems to shake as another boom resounds around the city.
Cries of alarm ring out from the party crowd, as Emmett raises the camera above his head to get a better view. Plumes of smoke rise above the skyscrapers from the explosion, people are racing in their direction as a loud boom shakes the city again. "Oh my god what is going on?" Alice asks with tears down her face.
Suddenly a loud screech tears through the city, followed by the sound of something powerful hitting metal.
Screams reverberate through the crowd, making the camera swing downward. Emmett whips the camera up just in time to see something come rocketing out of the smoke like a meteor. The camera jerks again as people dive out of the way of the object.
It careens right past them, tearing up the concrete as it comes to a stop. "Holy shit…Ed, Jazz man are you guys okay?" He ask getting off the ground, they both resounded with dazed voices.
"Oh my god…is that the Statue of Liberty?" Alice asked hysterical as Emmett whips the camera round to the object and sure enough, the statue of liberty's head was staring at him. "Holy shit…" Edward breathed in shock.
MAY 22 10:02 PM
Jasper comes racing out of the building and grabs Alice squeezing her tight to his chest. "There was no one in the building." Jasper said tossing something to his brother, a wallet.
"What are we go-" Emmett is interrupted as a thunderous sound rips through the city once again, all across the city the lights black out again.
The sound is primitive and angry as Edward, Jasper and Alice clutch their ears, when it abruptly stops the world began to shake violently.
Emmett turns the camera around looking for the cause of the sound; nearly dropping the camera as screams erupt something disappears behind the skyscraper. "HOLY SHIT! What the fuck was that!" He yelled. "It fucking moved." He said swing the camera towards group.
They try to stay together as the crowds surge forward. "Ed man, did you see that?" He said in a scared voice, when the sound of metal and concrete being torn. Emmett slowly began to back up away form the building.
"Shit guys, a skyscrapers coming down." Jasper yelled. "We gotta get off the street!" He said grabbing Alice's hand his eyes left the running crowds darting to the Storefront at top speed. Emmett jostled the camera attempting to catch up as Edward opened the door for them all.
Emmett turned around looking at the cloud of debris that came towards them. "Em come on!" Edwards said jerking Emmett and the camera in the store.
"Get behind the counter!" the storeowner said, the store filled with other scared people.
Emmett took a seat behind the counter next to Edward, Jasper and Alice. "Shut the door!" The owner yells.
"Get away from the glass!" Woman shrieked as debris hit and covered the panes of all the windows.
As the store shook violently screams are heard both inside and out of the store, as everything is pitch black "I saw it…" Emmett breathed from behind the camera.
Edward glances back at Emmett, his face smeared with dirt. "What do you mean it was alive, Em?"
Just as he says that, more debris swirls past the window accompanied by a loud boom. The store started shaking once again, and the store windows shattered. "Get DOWN!" He said amidst the screams, the black cloud of debris.
All that could be heard is everyone crying, and gasping for air amongst the black cloud. Seconds go by and the world shakes again as boom resounds again. Everyone was gasping and coughing in the darkness.
"Jasper! What are you doing?" Alice asked worriedly. "Where are you going?"
Jasper coughed. "Stay down, Alice."
Emmett picked up the camera, he swings it towards the front of the store. Through the haze, debris has dissipated some making it clear. Everyone inside the store crouched down, covering their mouths with their hands.
Jasper crept forward steadying himself as the store shook again.
"Jasper, no!" Alice cried
Jasper turned around. "Stay there, Alice." He told her firmly as he steps across the shattered glass, and peaks outside. Jasper mutters something under his breath as his shoulders slump.
"Jazz-" Edward called as his brother stepped into the street.
Jasper didn't respond as he walked into the street. "Jasper! Damn it answer me!" Edward slowly followed his brother.
"Come on, Alice." Emmett says as camera jostles, they follow Edward and Jasper.
MAY 22 10:13 PM
"Holy shit…." Emmett said, as the camera came upon the street, which was completely devastated. The street was destroyed, the concrete is torn apart; cars are smashed, flipped on their side. Debris is everywhere, hangs like a fog, and litters the area.
Emmett uses the camera to survey the area and the destruction only to see that it continues down the street. The people who did not get inside emerge from the debris as if ghost covered in grey soot.
Emmett angles towards a woman and gasp in shock as she stumbles forward in shock, he gasps running up to her. "Oh my god, Rosalie! Are you okay?"
Alice runs up seeing her friend. Rose looks at Alice tears springing into her eyes, as she holds her. "Its okay…You're okay." Alice says with her arms around her friend.
Jasper and Edward came making a little circle around Alice and Rose. "Where is everyone else? The rest of our group?" Alice asked patting Rose's back.
"-scattered as soon as the building came down…" Seth said coming up from out of another store.
"What the hell could have done all this damage?" Edward asked
The man from the store came over. "I am telling you, it walked right over me."
Emmett focused on Alice trying to clean up Rose, as she stared forward blankly. "What do you mean it?" Alice asked.
"That boom, that's it moving!" He said looking off screen panicked, as Edward stared at the camera, seeming to realize something.
"You said you saw it Em! What did you see man?" He asked seeming desperate.
"I don't know for sure-"
Edward shook his head. "You said it was alive-?"
"I don't know. It was huge Ed it went right behind the building then-" He pauses seeming to realize something "I filmed it! I have it on tape!" He said pointing the lens to the ground pressing buttons on the camera.
MAY 22 10:26 PM
"It's bigger than the motherfucking building!" Seth said with panic in his voice. "What the fuck is it?"
Emmett turns the camera to him as they sand in front of the store. "Nothing's that big…" The woman from the store said.
Seth shook his head "You saw it; you all saw the same thing I did!"
Edward put a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down man."
"No I am just trying to figure out what is going on!" Seth said getting hysterical.
"SHUT UP!" Jasper yelled "Please shut up for a sec."
Everyone stares at Jason as he seems to compose himself. "I don't know…what that was. But it's still here…so we gotta get somewhere safe." He paused for a beat. "Outta Manhattan."
MAY 22 10:31 PM
The group is starting to plan the walk down the street. "We can take a straight shot to Canal, hook over Williamsburg…" Seth said as he walked up with Jasper and Edward.
Jasper looked over to him "Do you know how far that is… Brooklyn's right there."
Emmett approached Alice and Rose, but Rosalie is still dazed staring at the trail. "We gotta go shortie…" Emmett said as Alice nodded.
"Rose, we're gonna get out of here…Okay?" She said looking her friend in the eyes, but received no response. "Rose?"
She turns to Alice with haunted eyes. "It was eating people..." With tears running down her face she continued. " It was eating everyone…"
Alice glanced at Emmett stifling the gasp with a hand over her mouth.
MAY 22 10:34 PM
They were all heading in one direction down the street with throngs of people who seemed to have the same plan as them. In front of the group Edward was dialing is phone. "I can't get any service…" He said looking around desperate.
"Does anyone's phone work?" He said glancing at the camera. "Em?"
"Shit, it's in my jacked back at the place?" He said from behind the camera.
Edward looked to the others "Guys?"
Jenn's nearby and checks her phone, shaking her head she says. "No signal, sorry Edward."
Seeming frustrated he tries again.
MAY 22 10:59 PM
The camera focuses in on a thicker crowd, Emmett swings the camera around to see the Brooklyn bridge not far from where they are. Emmett looks at Rose and Alice. "Are you okay Rose?" He asked concerned. "Is she alright Alice?"
Alice shook her head, "Not now Emmett."
As Emmett pulls back he finally notices that they are on the pedestrian walkway, he looks out on the New York Harbor. He zooms in on what is left of the Statue of Liberty confirming that the head is gone.
He widens out to see Edward in the crowd next to him, seeming distracted, trying his phone again. He glances at Emmett. "Why are you still filming?"
"I don't know, people are gonna want to know how this all went down." He said quietly from behind the camera.
Edward paused for a beat. "You could just tell them. After we get out of here. " He says with optimism.
"Wouldn't work, people are gonna want to see this." Emmett said with higher sprits. "Besides no one listens to me." He said with a chuckle as Edward suddenly holding his cell up.
"It's ringing." He whips the phone up to his ear with his hand, covering his other ear with his hand.
"Bella? Bella?" He says into the phone.
Alice pauses when she hears Bella's name, she yells ahead to Jasper. "Jasper wait!"
"Bella, sweetheart…I can't hear y-" Edward tries to move out of the crowd with Emmett and the camera following along with Alice and Rose.
"Bella, you have to-" His face falls into a look of despair and worry.. "What's wrong Bella…?"
"Jasper!" Alice calls, Emmett whips the camera around. Down the bridge Japers a good thirty yards ahead, trying to wave them forward, barely heard by them as a helicopter flew over.
"ALICE…GUYS!" Jasper says standing on the light poles. "We've gotta keep going!"
Alice shook her head. "Wait! He's got Bella-!"
Emmett turns the camera back to Edward who moved to the edge of the walkway. "Bella! Love, sweetheart you have to calm down…I can't" He said with desperation in his voice as he tries to listen.
"Where are you? Bella, Love-" Edward seems to strain as he listens when his face goes pale death white.
"…What do you mean you can't move, Bella?" he said in a barely audible voice.
Just as he said that the whole bridge starts to shake making his eyes go wide as they try to keep balance, meanwhile pedestrians go to the sides of the bridge looking down.
Alice screams. " JASPER!"
Emmett swings back up to Alice and Rose, who is glancing at the camera with terror in her eyes. "Can you see it?" She asked.
"I can't see anything-" He replied just as the whole bridge started shaking again making screams ring out, as people broke into a frenzy desperate to get off the bridge.
"ALICE!" Jasper calls fighting his way back through the crowd. "STAY THERE! I AM-" An enormous white hand reaches up over the walkway, Jasper doesn't see it. Alice barley has enough time to scream.
"JAAASPPER!" She screams in terror as the hand smashes down crushing Jasper into the pavement and ripping into the walk way, as Jaspers body disappears.
The shockwave causes the suspension cables to start snapping, the ground lurches, causing blood curdling screams. Emmett struggles to stand whipping the camera toward the enormous hole in the middle as people run to get off the bridge.
The ground lurches violently again, Emmett turns again catching a glimpse of Alice who is on the ground staring where Jasper was previously, screaming her heart out . She struggles to stand as Edward stands beside her a look of shock and horror on his face as the frenzied crowd races to get off the bridge.
Edward holds Alice back pulling her away from the chaos. Emmett grabs Rose saying "C'mon." He said with a shocked voice.
MAY 22 11:05PM
The camera jostled as they ran up street screams could be heard when suddenly a screech could be heard, Emmett turned around as the metal for the bridge began to buckle. Rose can be seen off to the side with a look of pure terror on her face, as the bridge slowly topples over.
MAY 22 11:08 PM
Emmett walked around the corner to find Edward, Alice and Rose sitting on the ground. Emmett breathes heavily trying to catch is breath when Alice collapses in Edward arms in heaps and sobs. "What-What was that Edward?"
Rose tries to help but Alice pushes them both away placing her head in her hands the tears nearly choking her. "What happened!" She sobbed. "Please someone tell me what the happened!"
"It came from fucking nowhere!" She said as something beeped. "He didn't even see it! I don't-"
Emmett turns to Edward who has taken a few steps away with a blank look on his face. "Ed, Edward man, I am sorry. I am so sorry…" Emmett says getting choked up with emotion as he tries to catch is breath still.
Edward does not respond as something beeps again. "Ed you okay, man? Ed?"
He doesn't say a thing just stand there shell shocked when a crash sounded. Emmett whipped the camera around to the electronic store which was being looted. He turned back to the group, as Rose glanced at the Chaos as something beeps again . "Ed, man we gotta get moving it isn't safe here. I don't know we could try the Williamsburg or something or try to cross to the other side. Hell even try the tunnel…I don't know..I know.." Edward doesn't seem to be paying attention
The thing beeps again, stirring Edward from his trance as he glances down to his pocket. "There's a message.." He says to himself. He opens his phone and looks at the screen. "Bella.." He hastily presses a few button to playback when the phone beeps going dark.
He pulled it from his ear. "Damn it!" He said looking desperate and deranged.
Edward seems to have a stroke of genius as he started over for the store. "What is he doing?" Rose asks as Emmett follows Edward.
"I don't know but stay here and keep an eye on Alice I am gonna go get him." He said running up to Edward as they approached the shop.
"Ed what are you doing man?" He said as they entered the shop. "We shouldn't leave shortie and Rosalie outside."
Edward ignores him as he makes his way down the aisles passing looters. "Edward seriously! You are freaking me out man!" He said from behind his camera. "Let's get to the gir-" He freezes turning the camera up to the Newscast on the TVs.
The first showed pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge but the one that got was one with banner "CREATURE ATTACKS NEW YORK" on screen it showed helicopter looking down through alleys through the buildings where the monster is.
"Oh God, Man!" He said as a rumble sounded, he looked to the front of the store to see Military convoy going by. He turns back to the T.V. turning up the volume.
"Confirm only that it emerged from the water south of Manhattan a little over" A voice said when the field reporter interrupted.
"Currently in the process of evacuating the city, hoping to contain the creature to the Baxter/Bayard area—"
Emmett took in a sharp breath. "That's like 25 blocks away." A looter who joined him resounded with a "yeah.."
"Continue south..no citizens will be allowed north of the canal for any reason." A voice says from outside, it's the military on a megaphone.
Emmett peaks his head outside looking up seeing the same Helicopter from the newscast down the street. He zooms in catching a glimpse of movement behind the copter. A spotlight hits the silhouette and reveals it as the monsters tail.
Emmett goes back inside the store moving down the aisle finding Edward tossing cell phone batteries around . "Ed we have to go, like right fucking now."
Edward continues with what he is doing an intense look on his face.
"You've got 3 fucking minutes before I drag you out of here man!" He yelled behind the camera, still not getting a reaction out of him.
Emmett walked back to the TV, with a few looters around looking at the screens. The helicopter was angled at he monsters back. "-At this point everything is pure speculation…"
The field reporter returned on screen."…Will not comment on the course of action, but it's clear there's a sizable mobilization."
The newscast went back to the copter shot as flakes seemed to fall off the monster and start moving once it hit the ground. The soldiers on the ground shoot at the flakes that fell. Emmett focuses in on them realizing they are spider like parasites. "Holy Fuck…"
The parasite attacked the solider shooting at them, "Oh my god!" The field reporter screamed and the screen went to standby footage.
"Yes!" Edward said as Emmett quickly turned to face him, as he ripped open the package
"What are you guys doing ?" Rose asked dragging Alice into the store as Emmett turn in their direction. "The Military is evacuating the whole place."
Emmett turned back to Edward seeming him slam the battery into the phone checking for signal. "Ed, we-"
"Quiet." Edward said firmly as he held the phone to his ear, pulling it away seeming frustrated. He presses a few buttons as Emmett walks closer to him along with Alice and Rose. They all stare at he phone a Bella's voice fills the air.
"Edward! Edward, I can't move-" She coughs. "Oh, god I can't move." She says completely hysterical and panicked.
"Edward, It fell- it fell on me…my apartment…the whole wall…. Fell on me" Emmett points the camera at Edward unintentionally, he face is one of a burning man.
"Edward please…I can't….I'm bleeding…I lo-" Suddenly there was crack, then a violent sound of concrete tearing as Bella screams, her panic breathing heard when the sound stops. "Oh, god, Edward…EDWARD!" And the phone call cuts out as Edward stares in horror. His breathing increasing in his new found panic and helplessness, desperation.
Nobody speaks, its seems no one knows what to say as Edward stares at the phone with his jaw clenched, fighting off tears.
