Once the noises awaken us, Ethan and I ran back into the living room.
"Guys, wake up," Ethan commanded.
Rory clumsily rolled off the couch and landed on Jesse's feet.
"Dude, watch the feet," yelled Jesse.
"It's not like it's your hair, Pretty Boy," scoffed Rory.
"Guys, look at outside," I said.
"What?" moaned Erica.
"I'll go," said Rory.
He stumbled outside to the balcony on his weak legs. Moments later, Rory returned with the widest eyes he ever made. A glimpse of Rory's burning ankle caught my eye.
"Rory, you're on fire," I shrieked.
"Get it out," he yelled
Ethan grabbed a blanket and threw it against Rory's ankle. He slapped it multiple times until it finally went out.
"What the hell are we going to do?" asked Benny.
"What do you think, Queenie?" smirked Benny. "We're gonna fight him."
"Fight?" I mumbled.
"We can take him," said Fallon. "Let's see what we got. We got…a spellmaster…four vampires…a seer…and me—the sorceress."
"What if he has an army?" asked Benny.
"We got Rory."
"Yeah!" Rory growled. He angrily slammed his fist against the table and broke it into pieces.
"Really?" asked Ethan.
"You bought it?"
"I stole it."
"It ain't yours."
"All of us combine make us more powerful with our own unique powers." said Fallon. "Sarah, what's your unique power?"
I tried hard to think. "She's the fastest," Ethan answered.
"Erica?" Fallon glanced at her.
"I'm more of an expert in jujitsu and mixed martial arts," she answered. "I even know some old fashion street fighting."
"Jesse?"
"I'm a bit more experienced than y'all since I lived longer," he said. "My mind control hasn't been in full control but I can still use it."
"Ethan, you can read minds and move objects. So…have you been more enhanced?"
"Of course." said Ethan.
"Benny, you're a spellmaster. I'm sure you know what you're doing, right?"
"Yes, ma'am." said Benny.
"Rory?"
"I'm insanely destructive and I'm a bit stronger."
"Alright," sighed Fallon. "Martial arts, speed, strength, telepathy, telekinesis, sorceress powers, and spellmaster powers. We got this."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
Light coming from the window shined through.
"It's morning," I pointed out. I sprinted outside and stopped.
Everything was ruined. The sky was grey and the sun was blocked by the clouds. Destruction was written all over the place. It looked like the city of Death.
"Look at it," I said under my breath.
"Oh, yeah," said Jesse. "We better stop this before it spreads all over the country. Even the world."
"And we are ready," said Benny.
We all waked to the door. At the moment we paused. Finally, Ethan pushed it open. He was the first to step out as I crept up behind him.
Burnt pieces were all over the ground. Buildings and homes were damaged into place. The scent of smoke and dirt was suffocating me.
One of the things that scared me the most was a car smashed into a brick wall. A woman's face was smashed through her car window. Little pieces of glass were stabbed into his face causing blood to drip all over her face.
"She's dead," Erica murmured.
Next to her in the car was a little boy leaned against her. He didn't move and he looked down at her lap with dead eyes.
"Oh, my god," I gasped. "A little boy?"
Ethan pulled me against his chest as my voice started cracking.
"Both of them are dead," Jesse informed us. "No pulse."
"The first dead person I've actually seen with my own eyes," said Ethan. "Some of these people might be dead as well."
"We gotta keep going," said Fallon.
As we continued to walk, I held onto Ethan. The memory of that dead boy was repulsive. Dead children were more scarier to me than dead people. It's just that they're so young and they're think more about life and fun rather than death and decay.
"What do we do when we see anyone," asked Erica.
"Guys, we can't do it by ourselves," said Ethan. "We have to work together."
"Who made you team leader," scoffed Benny.
"I never said I was leader."
"Are we going to take a voting?" asked Erica. "We all oppose to Rory. Agree?"
"Agree!" We all said.
"How about this?" I suggested. "Whatever one of us knows more, that person handles it."
"Not Rory," chuckled Jesse.
"Hey!" said Rory. We all laughed.
Suddenly, people in black and purple armor stopped us. They were five of them at least. Their helmets were hiding their faces.
"Is this the time for teamwork?" I asked.
"Let's go!" said Fallon.
We all ran towards them. Ethan lifted up his arm. A car floated up into the air.
"Benny!" He yelled.
Benny snapped his fingers and blowing a breath of fire towards the car. The car on fire flew towards two of them and crushed them on the ground.
Seven of us and three of them, which means two each plus one more. This should be fun.
One of the ran towards me. He threw his leg at my head. I ducked and kicked him in the chest. Benny realized black fog from his palms. I slammed the soldier to the ground and yanked his arm up as my foot squashed his neck.
The fog went to robot and he started shaking and screamed. To put him out of his misery, I quickly snapped his neck.
Another one charged towards Ethan. Ethan lifted his arm up and slammed the bionic man to the ground. Once the bionic threw himself back onto his feet, Erica punched him. After that, she did the splits and threw the bionic by his ankles on the other side of her.
When Erica got back up, the bionic gripped her by the throat. Erica was loosing her breath as he lifts her off feet. Ethan reached out to them and the bionic floated into the air. The blonde vampire collapsed in my arms breathing again.
As the bionic was in the air, Rory leaped up into the air and threw the bionic to the ground which felt like an earthquake.
The last bionic was lurching towards Fallon. Before he could go near her, Fallon clapped her hands, which made a force pushing the bionic back into Jesse's arms. With his incredible strength, Jesse yanked the bionic's upper body the opposite directions. Then, he dropped him.
"You guys good?" I panted.
"Babe, are you alright?" Ethan asked me.
"I'm fine." I lied.
"Sarah, your fangs—they grew." He informed me. "You guys don't look so good."
Jesse, Erica, and Rory were panting like me. The three of them were growing their fangs and even their eyes were glowing yellow.
"What's wrong with y'all?" asked Benny.
"How long has it been since any of y'all eaten?" asked Ethan.
"Eaten?" asked Erica. "That's it. None of us hadn't eaten in two days. We need to hunt."
"There's no one here…" said Jesse "…except Benny and Ethan."
