1 Chapter One

The Beginning

My emerald green eyes came wide open, I saw

myself as I rose up from my bed to face the mirror

directly opposite it. I turned to my alarm clock

which read exactly 6:30 AM. I had woken up before

it rang again.

This was becoming a daily habit as I woke up

before the alarm which was scheduled to go off at

7:00.1 jolted off the bed and shivered a little as the

cold tiles came in contact with my bare feet. I then

immediately walked over to my slippers and put

them on before heading out of my room.

"Mum, dad?", I called out after peeping into my

parent's room and realizing they weren't there,

"dad?"I called again a little louder this time but

there was still no response.

"Donald?", I called after coming out of my twin

brother's room and noticing he was also not there.

This is strange, where did everybody go by six in

the morning", I thought loudly as I quickly

descended the stairs and headed towards my elder

siblings room.

I decided to check my elder brother, Richard's

room first. I opened the door slowly as it made a

slight creaking noise and I peeked inside only to

find nothing but scattered clothes, untied bed

and other messy things all around the place. It was

a typical teenage boy room.

"Richard!?", I yelled twice as I came out of the

room but l still received no reply. I now headed to

my eldest sister's; Elizabeth's room, I opened the

door slowly like I did to my eighteen years old

brother's.

Panicked and fear were beginning to touch my

features as I came out of my empty sister's room.

This was just to seven and nobody was in the

Where could everybody have gone by this time l

kept thinking Until was snapped out of my trance

by a loud clatter which seemed to have come from

the kitchen.

I headed towards the kitchen hoping to find my

family in it but on reaching my destination, my

eyes widened in shock as I saw the view in front of

me, my mum was lying lifelessly on the kitchen

floor near a large growing puddle of a red liquid;

blood.

"Mum?" I forced out as my voice quivered in fear,

"dad?" I whimpered with tears rolling down my

cheeks when I saw him laying next to my mum

with three people which seemed to be Donald,

Richard and Elizabeth kneeling over him.

At first I thought they were moaning over my

parent's body not until I got closer and got the

shock of my life; my siblings were literally eating

my parents and the moans were not moan of

sadness but sounded more like moans of hunger.

They had long claws in which they all used to tear

my parents flesh and sharp teeth in which they

used to chew the raw human flesh.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys!?" I yelled as

tears flowed freely down my cheeks then the

three of them head snapped towards my

direction. With a sickening look in their eyes they all

stood up in total uniform including my dead

parents and they all started walking towards me.

"Uhm guys?" I whimpered in fear as they all

stargazed towards my body which was now

instinctively moving backward until I hit the wall. A

quiet shriek escaped my mouth as I had nowhere

to go and they were gaining on me.

"Alright guys, if this is a joke or something you can

stop it now cause l'm really freaking out" I screamed as they were getting closer and seemed

4

not to be joking.

They were now directly in front of me and they

were all opening their mouth in an attempt to bite

through my flesh and as my dad did, I screamed

7

very loudly and my alarm clock rang.

ooo

I immediately sit up on my bed and checked my

hand in which my dad had bitten me, there wa

nothing there.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

"It was all a dream" I said gladly, heaving a sigh of

relieve.I stretched my hand to switch off my alarm

clock which was still buzzing loudly. After doing

that I face my mirror and realized my long brown

hair which I knotted into a bun was a total mess. I

must have been rolling in my bed.

I swiftly turned to my right hand side

and got off the bed and as my feet came

down on the tiles, I shivered a little due

to it's coldness.

Deja reve.

As the thought of that came to my mind,

I quickly dashed out of my room not

even bothering to put on my slippers

and ran to my parent's room.

I started breathing heavily asI was

panicking and freaking out, 'what if

my dream was coming to pass, what

if my whole family had turned into

monsters that were going to eat me'

these thoughts ran through my mind as

I realized my parent's room was empty.

I quickly closed the door and dashed

towards Donald's room but unlike

my dream, he was in his room and

Elizabeth wasn't living with us, she was

already in college in another town.

"Can't you knock" Donald demanded

"Where is mum and dad" I asked

totally ignoring the request of my twin totally ignoring the request of my twin

brother who quickly used his bed sheet

to cover his body, he was wearing justa

pair of boxers.

"They are out of the country" he replied

like it was the most obviuos thing in the

world, "what happened?"

"I totally forgot they were travelling

today and I had this weird dream

where" I was about to narrate my

whole dream to my twin brother when

I got interrupted by the door of his

room coming wide open with a loud

bang following it as it the wall.

A head poked inside which was

Richard's but he couldn't see me as his

whole body was not inside the room.

"Hey donny, have you seen Ella?, I

checked her room and she was not

ther-" he was saying before Donald cut

him off.

"Why dosen't anyone respect my

privacy in this house, I could have been

naked for christ sake" Donald blurted

out because his elder brother didn't

knock.

"Over here" I said calling Richard's

attention by waving my left hand in the

air.

"Oh, there you are" Richard who was

still standing at the door said before

coming in fully as we both ignored my

twin brother.

"Uuhgguh" Donald mouthed.

"Well then, breakfast is ready" he

informed us.

You made breakfast?. Yuck." Donald

said sticking out his tongue in disgust

at the thought of Richard making

breakfast. Richard was actually very

terrible in cooking. "You better go and

wake that sleepyhead friend of your-"

Donald was saying before getting

interrupted by his door swinging open

and a loud bang following it as it hit the

wall once again.

"I'm already awake dumbass" my

blond, blunt best friend Lisa came into

view as she entered the room. She slept

in our guest room because her parents

had also travelled with mine. We've

been friends since we were three years

old and we knew each other very well.

She was very blunt to the extent that

she would abuse anyone that messed

with me or her and I mean anyone, she might even get physical sometimes.

Our parents were very close so she had

come to sleep over countless times and

since her elder brother and sister were

also in the same college with Elizabeth

[in another town], she would have been

alone at home so she decided to come

and sleep over.

"Seems like the words 'privacy and

respect' dosen't exist anymore" Donald

complained, sarcasm dripping in his

voice.

"Oh, they do but you just don't deserve

any of the two. Idiot." Lisa mocked,

seeming to know the reasons why he

said that.

Lisa and Donald never got along since I

have known both of them. They always

acted like Tom And jerry with Lisa

being the mouse and Donald Being the

cat.

All of us exited Donald's room except

Donlad who stayed behind supposedly

to get prepared.

"Did Richard prepare breakfast?" Lisa

asked as the dining table which was full

of burnt food came into view. "yup" I answered simply

"Seems like I'm skipping breakfast

then" Lisa replied walking pass the

dining and heading to the living room.

She also knew how terrible Richard was

at cookinng.

"O c'mon, Ella, am I that bad in

cooking?" Richard asked me giving me

the puppy dog eyes which were so cute

on him because of the sparkling green

eyes he shared with me.

"No, no. You are not-" I was about to lie

to him when I got cut off by Lisa who

was now in the living room.

"Yes, yes you are" she blurted, "no

offence but infact you are not bad, you

are terrible, very very terrible" she

spoke again.

"You are the worst, man" Donald, my

seventeen year old twin brother said

while walking down the stairs.

He was now wearing a blue top and

black jean trousers with a black leather

jacket in his left hand.

He walked over to the table to join

Richard and I, on getting to the table, he

took a sit in his favourite spot and joined us in eating.

Tm going up to take my bath" Lisa

informed us, "unlike some people" she

added directing her voice to Donald as

she walked up the stairs.

"Yuck!" Donald exclaimed spitting out

the food in his mouth, "what is this?"

he asked with disgust touching his

feautures.

"Spagetti and meat balls" Richard

who seemed to be enjoying his food

answered simply.

I was actually shocked by his reply,

I was thinking the meatballs were

burnt plantain and the spaggeti was

burnt scrambleld eggs and with the

expression on Donald's face it simply

said the food was no good.

"I think I will also skip breakfast" I told

Richard as I dropped my spoon and

headed upstairs to take my bath.

"Yeah, me too" I heard Donald say as

I climbed the stars, "I can't eat over

salted burnt food" he muttered, heading

to the living room since he was already

dressed and wasn't taking a bath today.

"Whatever. Suit yourself" Richard Stack who now the only one left at the table

muttered as he continued eating.

I entered my room and locked the door

as I took off my night gown and walked

into the bathroom.

In my house, every room had its

own bathroom so their was enough

bathrooms for everybody and even two

general ones to spare.

I spent ten minutes in the bathroom

having a good bath before I came out

and wore a black tank top on a pair

of blue jeans then slid on a blue jean

jacket, carried my bag and headed out

of my r0om.

On reaching the living room, I saw Lisa

and Donald watching the only thing

they both liked; Wrestling.

I branched the kitchen and opened the

fridge, grapped an energy bar and a

box juice then closed the fridge back

and headed to the living room to join

Lisa and Donald.

The three of us watched Wrestling

for about fifeteen minutes before

Richard who we were waiting for came

downstairs.

"I'm ready" Richard informed us

and we all stood up and carried our

backpacks after Donald switched off

the tv.

The four of us exited the house and

headed to the garage and when we

reached there, we all entered the car.

As Richard entered the driver's seat, he

started the car and we headed out of

the house.

After he drived out he parked the car in

front of the house and got down to lock

the gate and once he was done with

that, he ran back to the car, entered it,

started it and drove off as the four of us

headed to school with no idea of what

was awaiting us.
