You know how people say that if there were ever an Apocalypse there would be chaos? You're right because the sickening bad people would go after the good guys. Just like in all those movies they come out with. Blood everywhere, bodies on the floor, limbs missing from their bodies. You also say you'd survive till the end and that it's easy hiding. However these aren't zombies that can't run and eat brains. These aren't the crazies who just thrive to kill from a crazy infection circulating in their veins. They're demons from the Underworld and they're stronger, faster and deadlier. Their bites can paralyze you and if you do get bitten, you're doomed. There is no way getting out of it. You can't pray to them if they surround you or fight off a group of them. If you're cornered it's one vs. one. You can fight them off and luckily win but it's possible to get away from them. No one is going to save you... especially if you're a human. We had no time to pack. I left my backpack behind because if I ever got near one, it would carry weight on my back to run. When we got out of the house, there was already black smoke in the air from close-by fires and bodies on the ground. Chandler lead us on the sidewalk while speeding cars drove by us on the streets. Papers were falling from high buildings and screeching screams were echoing around. Chandler pushes us into an alleyway and we all stand together in a little circle. My heart is pounding, not being able to get the image of torn bodies out of my head. You think this would happen in the Human World first but no, of course it happens in the Vampire World. "Okay you guys need to understand that this is a life or death situation. If anything happens to me, you three need to get out of here. Don't turn back." Chandler exclaims to us and I purse my lips into a thin line. "We can't leave you." "No Adeline this isn't a game. You don't die then come back to life with three other lives. You guys need to get to the Human World." A noise from a gun echoes in the air and we turn to the street. A demon is running away from someone but is soon hit from the back with a bullet. It collapses onto the ground and itches to move. A vampire approaches it from behind and points the gun towards it's head and blows it to pieces. "Same goes out to me. If anything happens you guys run." Evan adds and I stare across from him, his hazel eyes dark and worried. John and I stood there in silent our breathing pacing faster and faster. "Also we need to keep away from Adeline's parents and Miles." Chandler demands. "If we see them we run and hide. I know that if they capture either me or Evan, they'll turn us." He turns his head to me. "I don't know what they'll do to you guys." He admits and I swallow, my throat dry. Suddenly a loud rumbling noise surrounds us and the whole ground shakes. I lean against the building so I don't fall. It feels like an earthquake but it was just a building collapsing from a fire. The black smoke floats in front of the clouded sun and the day becomes ashy and dark around us. I look out past the alleyway we are in and out to the streets. Vampires and demons are running everywhere. "Come' on we need to keep moving. It's going to be difficult especially for you guys because you're humans. The vampires who are going to live are going to need a source to feed from if the feeding stations run out or if the humans die." John swallows loudly from Chandler's exclamation and I nod my head. Chandler starts to walk out of the alleyway and peaks his head around our surroundings. He leads us out and we all follow behind. They keep John and I in the middle and Evan in the back. We pass the demon that has his head blown off. Bits of brain and flesh is splattered on the concrete of the street. I try not to gag and throw up. It's hard for John and I to see because it's a bit foggy from the ash flowing in the air. Luckily we didn't come upon any demons. So many vampires were running everywhere, they were too busy attacking others. Stores, restaurants, banks all had shattered windows. Clothes were thrown on the sidewalks. Evan grabs the back of my shirt and pushes me forward because I started to slow down. I was growing tired and thirsty, my eyes watering from the hard gusting winds and my head growing dizzy. Luckily I kept up with them while Evan ran besides me the whole time. We passed Willow-Red school and the whole place was burned down. Allieset Dark was becoming dystopian. The prostitutes who were known as Wonderers in the Vampire World were on the ground with their necks torn viciously open. Blood was splattered everywhere and oozing on the concrete. "Hurry guys they're coming!" Chandler shouts, we all turn seeing a dark figure from far reaching us. Evan and I fall behind and he shoves me away, a body falling on him. I trip on something and I fall, landing on something. I turn to see that I've fallen on a dead vampires extended legs, it's upper body leaning against the wall of a building. His neck was torn and his jaw hanging low from his mouth. A demon must have broke it apart. I yelp in fright and while moving off of him, Chandler runs to me and picks me up. I stand on my wobbling feet and John grabs me tightly, pulling me against him and moving to hide behind a wall. I peak my head out and Evan is pinned up by a demon, her mouth drooling with crimson blood. Her teeth rigid and sharp, ready for a bite. He pushes her off of him and I pray from him to not get bitten. If he does he won't be able to move and he'll make us all fall behind. Chandler wraps his arm around her neck and pulls her back. She digs her long nails deeply in his arm, blood drawing. Evan grabs a sharp broken glass that was on the floor from a shattered building window and shoves it into her chest. She howls a scream and tries to move away from Chandler but can't. Evan twists the glass deeply into her chest, his own hands oozing with blood from holding it. Soon she stops moving and falls limb into Chandler's hold. He drops her and they rush to where John and I were hiding. "Are you guys okay?" I exclaim worried and Evan's hands start to heal. "Don't worry about us we can heal. You guys should be worried about yourselves." Chandler states before telling us to follow him. At that point my legs felt like jello and the screams and shouts in the streets have fallen. Vampires must have started to hid in abandoned buildings. The sun soon vanished and John and I were only running from the hold of Evan. Chandler knew we couldn't run any longer because it was dark out. It's also better for the demons to be scavenging in the dark. Vampires could also be out searching for any type of blood they can catch. We all hop through a broken window of a store and find the basement door. Chandler checked if there was anybody hiding but there was no one. "We'll be safe here for the night to rest." I run my hands over my bare arms and I shiver. It's chilly in the basement when we go down there. It's small and there's boxes of food because it was a market. "Adeline, John you guys should eat anything you can grab." Chandler whispers to us as he turns on the basement light. "Eat now so I can turn off the light so we don't attract anybody." "What about you guys?" I ask him while Evan stood besides him with tired eyes. "Don't worry about us." He replies. I nod my head, turning to John who started to look through the boxes. Luckily there was water and I drank until my throat was satisfied. John and I sat on the ground munching on bread. Chandler and Evan sat on the other side watching us. I felt bad because they need strength and energy. They're vampires, their kind needs it more than us. They run out of energy quickly. However I didn't want to ask if they wanted my blood because I knew the answer. When we finished Chandler shut the lights and I wasn't able to see. I did see John's figure stand and move away from me, laying on the cold ground and falling asleep. I couldn't see where Chandler and Evan were but I knew with their vampire sight, they could see me. I curled up in the cold, my skin erupting with goosebumps. I lay on my back trying to see the ceiling but I see nothing. Slowly my shivering body stops shaking and my teeth stop chattering together and I fall in a deep sleep. ~~~~~
