Karen jumped as the object fell to the ground just a a block or so away. "What was that?" They all looked up watching the helicopter fly off. The streets were eerily quite at night. They thought for sure that the loud echoing clapping of their shoes and heavy breathing would attracting any unwanted guests.
The remaining U.B.C.S. squad members surveyed each street before continuing. They decided to choose a different route so that they could trap the survivors. The capsule made a loud noise so their first thought was that they might go there. They kept within close proximity and moved closer to the crash site.
"Any clues as to what this could be?" Karen circled the dismembered piece of metal. It came down pretty fast making a crater where it landed. Steam rose into the night Autumn sky. "Your guess is as good as mine." Brian stared at it. "What this was." Carl turned to him. "Something was in it. And that something is gone." A chill ran up Karen's spine. She shivered. Even as a full grown adult she was never use to ghost stories or anything that had to deal with anything spooky or the unknown. "Quite." She said feeling even more uneasy.
"Oh come on. It can't be any worse then what we've-" Everyone was now silent. Heavy crunching foot steps sounded all around. "What now?" Karen took a few steps back and bumped into something. Please let it be a wall, fire hydrant. Anything! She took a deep breathe and looked behind her. Immediately she froze. Oh my god. There stood a figure towering over her.
"Karen get over here." Carl motioned for her to move. The tall dark figure reached for bother her sides. "Move!" Brian had his weapon drawn and opened fire on the massive creature. Karen ducked ran managing to avoid the shots. The light illuminated its facial feature. It was male. Standing at about 8ft tall with a face as pale as a corpse with two dry holes in its left cheek where it had been shot. It also appeared bald. A large dark trench coat clothed its body.
Looks like the party's already begun. The squad took cover behind a building watching everything from their standing point. "Whats the plan sir?" The commanding operatives name was Vincent. "If they by some chance neutralize it. We move in." The soldier nodded.
Brian emptied more rounds into its torso. Come on! Go down! It didn't fall back, limp, or even flinch. It just kept going. It lifted one heavy fist. He jumped just as it thrust forward crushing the tar beneath its unholy strength. He emptied three shots discarding the clip. Its body fell face first into the solid ground. Bits of tar and cement jumped making an imprint of its shape. A flush of relief came over him. "Its dead." Karen sighed. Carl checked his gun noting that he had no ammunition left.
"They killed it!" The soldier whined. Vincent calmed him down pointing at the fallen B.O.W. "Watch." The creature that taken everything they had twitched. Brian looked down at it. Its gotta be dead! Karen looked in horror as it rose up off its feet. "Lets get going!" It reached down at Brian who was now to exhausted to move. He jumped to the side, the fist barely touching him. "Brian lets go!" Carl called out. It reached again grabbing him by the face.
NO! Brian was lifted up off the ground. Pressure cased his entire head and it only got worse. He kicked and screamed and all they could do was watch. Karen started to cry. Afraid for her life she ran off to the end of the street turning a corner. "Karen!" Carl started after her leaving the bloody screams of their friend behind. Brian's body dropped. His head had been crushed. All that was there was a mangled corpse and a pool of blood, pieces of skull and brain.
Such power! Vincent chuckled. He saw the two survivors moving away from the bloody sight. Pulling out his automatic weapon he fired.
"Will you slow down?" Carl stopped to catch his breath. Karen was only a few feet ahead. Tears still flooded her eyes. The ground pelted their legs. "Whoa!" Two U.B.C.S. soldiers hustled their way to them.
The morning sun shined on a new day. To the survivors, it was nightmare that they couldn't escape.
