"Sis, when can we eat?" asks my little sister, Daisy.
"Soon." I reply. I look around to see if there's any left-over food scraps from the restaurant. Nope.
That's unusual. The restaurant owner would usually dump the food onto the streets by now.

"I'm hungry." cries Daisy. "I'll get you food. Don't worry." I say.

"They're coming!!!" shouts a voice. I turn to see my best friend, Ina, covered with blood. "Ina! What happened?" I ask. "The things are attacking us again." she pants. "What thing?" I ask. "I can't explain it to you. But we got to leave. NOW." she says.
"C'mon." I whisper to Daisy. I grab her hand. "So where to?" I ask. "Servelle Park." says Ina.

I follow Ina to the park. We all hide in the big blueberry bush. "Now we wait till the things pass us." she says. I nod. Silence. More silence. We wait for thirty minutes. Still nothing. "I'm going to see if they're here or not." Ina whispers. "But what if they get you?" I whisper back. Ina smiles. "They won't be getting me." she says smiling. I watch as Ina crawls out of the bush. But a second later, I hear her scream. It rings my ears and I cover Daisy's ears. I peek through the bush. I see Ina on the ground with blood splattered all around her. I fight back my scream. The thing that she mentioned was standing over her. It looks like a boy around my age. He has blonde hair that's close to white with red streaks through it, he's pale, but when I look at his eyes, I realize that he's not 100% human. His eyes were kind of like a human's but the pupil's were longer and more sharper looking. Something about this boy isn't human.
I watch as he plunges his hand into Ina's stomach and pulls out her intestines. Her organs spill out and a bright red slimy thing comes out of Ina. The boy smiles and shoves it into his mouth. I almost gag. "Sis. I want to leave." cries Daisy. My heart stops beating. Daisy, no. Please don't say anything.

I watch with terror as the boy stops munching on my best friend and sniffs the air.
Suddenly, his head snaps around and his eyes go to mine's. I stop breathing. He gets up and walks right over to where I am. I squeeze my eyes shut and hold Daisy's hand. This is it.

"Come here!" yells a voice. I slowly open my eyes. Through the tangle of leaves, I can see a man dressed in a white lab coat. He stares at the remains of my best friend and smiles. "Good job on your 100th kill." he says. 100th kill? This boy killed that many people?

The man gets something from his pocket and throws it at the boy-like-creature. The boy runs over to the man, grabs the pocket-object and shoves it into his mouth. I can see red stuff dripping down his mouth.
I can feel Daisy squirming around. "Stop it."

I whisper. "But I need to pee." she whispers, wide eyed. "Wait till these people leave." I whisper back. Daisy nods and then we're both quiet. Waiting to see what happens next.
"I'm still hungry." says the boy. His voice surprisingly sounded like a regular boy's. "Wait till we get back to the SHO base. You'll get more food there." explains the man. He walks away.
The boy's eyes meet mine again. No. Please don't come here.

I look at Daisy. Her eyes are wide and filled with fear. "X198!" shouts a voice. I look to see a different man walking towards the boy. "You need to go back to the SHO base now."he explains. The man walks away followed by the boy. I tense up when the boy turns and looks back at me. Then they're gone.
"Daisy, you can pee now." I whisper. "Are the scary people gone?" she asks. "Yep. They're all gone." I whisper, smiling at her. Then I look up at the blue sky. What's SHO?

Daisy and I leave Servelle Park. I look around for any food dumped onto the sidewalk, but I don't see any. My stomach growls and I see Daisy walking over to a man who works at a butcher shop.
"Can I have a large piece of sausage?" she asks. The man stops cutting whatever he was cutting and looks at Daisy. "You got any money kid?"he asks. My sister shakes her head. "Then I can't serve you kiddo." he says. "But I'm really hungry!" she whines. "I need the money first, then I'll give you a nice plump sausage link." explains the man. "Sir, I really don't have money. Can't you spare at least one piece of meat?" asks Daisy. Her stomach starts to growl. "Sorry. I gotta make business." says the man. Then he goes back to cutting meat.
I sigh. Guess we're not eating tonight.
I look at Daisy again. She's suddenly with a strange man. He's wearing all black, and for some reason, I couldn't see his face clearly. The man gives the butcher some cash. I can see the butcher giving a huge chunk of sausage that can last us for at least three days. I can see Daisy walking back to me with the huge chunk of meat. The stranger was out of sight.
"Daisy who was that man who paid for that sausage?" I ask. Daisy shrugs. "He was really nice and said that if we need any help, he would be there." she says. I take a piece of sausage and bite down into the juicy meat. Sweet onion, and herb flavors burst into my mouth. I smile and close my eyes. It's been a long time since I had something that tastes this good.


After eating, Daisy and I go "home." Our "home" is actually an abandoned church. The church is pretty old, but it's still sturdy for us to live under.
It's getting dark, and I look around for Ina, expecting her to jump out in front of us. But then realization slaps me and I know that she died earlier today. Today.

The word floated in my mind. Anything can happen. I can die right this very second. I look around and spot Daisy brushing her teeth with a stick tied with hay. "Daisy. I'm going out for a walk, and hide if you see someone walking towards our home, okay?" Daisy nods. I nod back and walk around town.

The town that I live in sucks. Everyone is greedy for money, they steal things, and kill others. Kill.

I start to think of my mom who died while trying to steal food from a food merchant.
I look around for people, but I notice that no one's here. I look at the butcher shop from before. The butcher guy is gone.
I get a dangerous idea. I look around to make sure that no one is around. I quickly walk over to the butcher shop and look at where the butcher would usually keep his sausages. But all I see is this dark liquid splattered all over the wooden shelf. I sigh and look down at where the butcher would be.
I vomit.
I vomit all over the floor.
I see the butcher, but instead he's the one who's all sliced up. Turning my head away from the bloody body, I run over to all the other shops. I find bodies that are cut up the same way that the butcher was. Then I freeze. It's that boy from earlier today. The one that killed Ina.

I start shaking all over. Oh no. Daisy.

I start sprinting all the way back home. It's dark now and I open the church doors and barge in. I see Daisy, but her back's towards me. "Daisy!" I call. I can see dark liquid coming out of her side. I watch in horror as my sister lands with a thud onto the cold, hard ground. That's when I spot him.

The monster boy. He's here in the house. Monster boy is too busy feeding on my sister that he doesn't even notice me standing there. Move. Run.

But I can't. It's like my feet are glued onto the ground.
Suddenly, the boy sniffs the air and his eyes land on me. No. Not again.

The boy drops my sister's bloody hand and walks over to me. Before I can even think about what to do next, he's right in front of me. I stare at his in-human green eyes. He reaches out for me and I'm standing still. I'm too scared to even move.

The boy touches my face. His hands are ice-cold and I can feel my heart beating faster and faster.
Be brave. I have to be brave.

I force my-self to look at the boy. My mind freezes. He's really close to me now. I didn't realize how tall he was. I'm up to his eyebrows.
I stare at his face. He stares back at me. Finally, what seemed like hours, the boy steps back. He's still looking at me. Then he smiles, revealing teeth with a slight point to them. He goes back to my sister. And continues eating.

My body can move again. Quietly, I step back, and start running away. Away from this living nightmare.


I run past abandoned sheds, and churches. No one seems to be around at this time. I stop running, to catch my breath and look around to make sure that the boy isn't following me. I plop myself on the cold, damp ground.
Suddenly, something warm stings my eyes. I wipe my tears away, and I can't help it. I start to cry.
CRUNCH! My head snaps up to see that man who bought the sausage dressed in all black standing in front of me. He takes off his hat and now I can see his face clearly. I'm staring at a boy around my age, or maybe a year older with kind, dark brown eyes.
He takes a step forward, grabs something from his pocket and hands it over to me. It's tissue.
"Thanks." I
