Never once did it occur to me that I would be laying here. Laying on the cold, cracked ground, with a dagger protruding through my stomach. Warm blood stained my clothes, and more seemed to just pour out of the wound. Jolts of pain surged through my entire body, and I squirm around, trying my best to fight it. Trying my best to survive.
So this is what death is like. Painful, and unforgiving. I would have thought is as calming, and some what soothing. Or I would have thought that forty eight hours ago, before this all happened. Before we all decided to fight. To fight this higher being. But of course, we were all to weak. To weak to move.
I gaze out to the others. The others who had decided to fight beside me. To fight for our freedom, to fight for our survival. But we were foolish, for now we all are going to die. Bodies, lay limp around me, each soaked in the red liquid. Each unrecognizable, for there faces had been torn off. That is when I begin to worry, will I be next? Will I turn into one of them, the unrecognizable? Or will I bleed out before he can torture me any further. No, I will not die, I will not let him hurt me any longer. I must fight. I must win, for I am a Human, and we Humans don't give up to easily.

"Amber, lets just get the damn things and go." sighed the agitated man next to me. His hand rubbed the temples, and then quickly smoothing back his sleek brown hair. Stubble covered his chin, and cheeks. A sign of needing a shave. But of course, there was no time for that.
"Hold your horses Aiden. Its going to take a little longer than a few minutes to get these things." I growl as I reach up for the door handle. "We need to make sure none of 'them' are in there." My hand twitches as I twist the knob and open a small crack in the door. My eyes peer through the hole as I glance around the small shop we were about to enter. There was no movement form inside, a good sign. But, our eyes can be deceiving.
"Hand me the dog meat." I instructed as my hand flies next to Aiden. He began to grumble and pulled out a small slab of meat and placed it in my hand. A soon as the slimy meat touched my hand, I through it through the crack of the door and waited. Silence fill the store, and then the sound of scuttling. I held my breath as I watched two humanoid creatures appear from the dark and lunge at the meat. Both of their sharp teeth barred, and began to rip the meat to shreds. But once they had finished the slab, they lok up, straight through the crack and at me. Their faces had been torn off, only leaving their mouth.
I jump and close the door. Quickly I turn to Aiden. "There's two of 'them'." I sigh shaking my head. "But, nothing we can't handle."
Aiden flashed a toothy grin and reached out for the only weapon we had with us at the time. It was a small dagger, no bigger than the size of your hand.
"You idiot, I told you to bring the revolver." I hiss as I look down at the puny knife.
"What? This is my lucky knife! It saved my life you know." he responded with a smirk.
"Great, now were screwed. Do you really think that think is going to kill off both of those things?" I open the door just a crack to be jumped at by one of 'them.' He knocked me over and I hit the ground with a loud thud. A warm feeling trickled down my neck, causing the thing to go mad. He attempted to claw the living daylights out of me, but I manage to push him off and crawl away. A sudden shrill scream echoed through the area and I glance back to see Aiden stabbing the creature with the knife. When I turned away to get up, I was yet again knocked over by the second one. His teeth sunk into my neck, which made me the one to scream. Blood spilled over me, and I tried to push this one off as well. But he wouldn't budge. He wouldn't get off of me.
"Aiden!" I scream as I tried to get his attention away from the creature he was currently after. But the creature wouldn't die, so he continued on.
I then glance around, looking for anything to be able to get him off of me. That is when I saw it. A rock that laid no more than three feet away from me. If i could just reach it, I might be able to smash it over his head. Quickly, my hand extended towards the rock. My finger tips grazed the end of it lightly, it was to far.
"Aiden, help!" I scream once more as I try to reach for the rock. As soon as my finger tips grazed the rock again, I felt a weight lifted off me. I peer up to find the creature gone, and Aiden over me, protecting me. His shirt was stained with green, and red blood. I watch him silently kill off the other creature before kneeling down to me. He placed a hand gently on my neck, trying to stop the blood flow.
"Amber, its okay. Everything is going to be okay." he whispered gently as he picked me up. "I'm going to take you back and have James look at you."
All I could do was give him a small nod of my head. My vision began to fail, and straight lines became wavy, blurry ones. Then my lights went out.

"Amber, Amber do you hear us?" called a voice from beyond. I could hear the distress it was in. Slowly I began to open my eyes, revealing the tinted baby blue coloring. Blinding lights filtered through, causing me to squint as I looked around. Ever so slowly was I able to make out figures. Tall people that is.
"Good god Amber, scaring us like that." hissed a males voice that I instantly recognized as my friend Aiden's.
"Aiden, calm down. You both have the blame in this one." called out another.
