Every 10pm my cityhall plays a nuclear siren-like sound loud enough for everyone inside of our city to hear. This is a sign that our city is now on curfew, and when I say curfew I mean it. Whole city on lockdown,no coming inside or going out, all stores locked and everyone caught outside will be brought to the city hall and will be released tomorrow morning. Everynight me and my friends have a game of chase with the patrol team because we were always outside. I don't know how many times we were caught but I know its not that many. One day, me and my friends just got sick of it, so we devised a plan. We first learn how the patrol team circles around our city, then we check some hiding spots and how good they are. "This night we will surely find out why this city is so strict with curfews"
, i said to myself. But I got curious and asked my parents if they have even tried to skip curfew without letting them know that we will. "Hey dad?", "Have you ever tried to skip curfew?", My dad stared at me and said, "Why would you ask that? Of course no", Mom laughed, "Oh sure honey, I know you've been caught everytime you tried", said my mom to my dad. "So why did you stop dad?" I asked, "Well its kind of a scary story son, Its like this, one time my friends and I were trying to skip it and we came across one guy named Dave, he was like mid 30-40. We guessed he was trying to skip curfew too, and he said that this is his last time trying it.", He laughed,"When we were done listening to his story we said that we would help him at any cost.", He continued," So there we were on Halfway done with the skipping curfew thing, we were like ninjas blending in with the surrounding, But all went downhill when...." When I looked at dad, he was still smiling and he looked very happy and continued with his story"Dave knocked over a can that was hard to see and then the chase began. There were 5 of us including Dave and only 4 patrol. We were certain that we weren't gonna outrun them. We did what we had in planned, at 11:50pm we all got caught but not Dave." Around that point, dad was creating a happy aura around him. "The day after that when we got released from the hall we were all shocked but happy. We saw ''Dave Golrich,  the son of the wealthiest man in this city, Colt Golrich, is missing'' in a newspaper. Me and my friends, said that, that's the last time we'll skip because we already helped someone. And the end." Then I thought that me and my friends maybe able to help someone to. So I went to sleep.

THE DAY

I woke up thinking of what my dad storied to me last night and told my friends about it. They all thought that we maybe able to help someone tonight to. We started planning and, I forgot to mention that I have 3 friends Jake, Amanda and colt. After all the planning we did, we finally got to executing it. Okay so it was the time. The siren was played and the 3 patrol teams were released. We bypassed the 1st patrol team with just hiding and the 2nd one was harder and we almost got chased again because jake was a slowpoke. Now here come's the final boss, the 3rd patrol team. Now this patrol team is trouble because they were fast, scary-looking and looking all over every place. They are like soap but we, we were the 0.1% that dosen't get caught. We gave our best to sneak and hide from them and we did it!!! Now let's see why this city is so strict about there curfews. My watched alarmed, I looked at it, It was 12am midnight. We finally did it.......All of a sudden my friends grabbed me and hid behind a car." What was that Fo-" Amanda stopped me by covering my mouth. Jake and colt pointed to the central park beside the cityhall and beside us. All of the hair around my body jumped because of what I saw. Somethings over 7-feet that had blade like claws and crimson red eyes, Oh and did I mention there's a whole pack of them. There mouth were like a scarecrow's, and there posture was like they had a broken spine because they were hunched. It was wierd though they weren't moving at first, so my friends and I find a safe place that we can see them but not be seen by them. Where did those abominations came from? Why are they here? What are they going to do to us if they see us? We found a safe place up a tree we had a good view and we could still see the things in the park. It was 12:30 and my watched alarmed again, I quickly shut it down but some beeps got out. My friends that were watching the things quickly turned their heads to me. "Shhhhh" Amanda whispered. Colt pointed below and there they were. They were down there but does not know that we were up here. I guess they were fast and they react to noise and the surprising and the more scarier fact is that they dont make that much noise, because I didn't notice them until colt pointed at them. I detached my watch from my arm quietly and threw it as far as I can away from us. We watched the creatures silently run to the direction of the noise mu watch made. We thought of a plan quickly because the branches were not going to hold us till the end of the day. As we were thinking of that I heard a crack, like one of our branches, cracked all of a sudden Jake was crying because he couldn't move. As we looked to jake I saw fear in his eyes, "I don't want to die.'' he whispered to us. All went silent, suddenly a huge cracking sound, Jake's branch couldn't hold him he fell. We all were shocked of what happened. The creatures hurried to the spot where the noise was. Jake ran as fast as we can. But those huge legs and limbs they had was too much for him. In a distance we heared him screamed, like he was being murdered. We all bursted into tears, we waited for sunrise in that tree and never in our lives thought of skipping curfew again. It was only us that knew what happened to Jake and we couldn't tell anyone, because he has no parents or cousins. We went into his room where he never let's us in and went inside. We were speechless "Jake Golrich son of Dave Golrich." Is what we saw. That is why he never let us inside his room. The door behind us closed and the lights flickered, "Thank you, for helping me find my dad." We heared a demonic voice, but it sounded familiar. We looked back to Jake's stuff and everything was gone. We stopped skipping curfew till this day
