He lays there, still. His blue eyes are fixed on the ceiling, and his hands are turning cold as I hold them. Everything is happening in slow motion, and it feels as though I am underwater with restricted movement. I glance up to Ethan. He is waving his arms, screaming at me to run. I let out a quick sob, memorizing everything about him as I stand up, because I know that I will never see him again.
"Good bye." It is all I manage to whisper before Ethan grabs me by my arms. We dash into the storage closet where the rest of our group stays, and we all use our last bit of energy to push one of the shelves in front of the door.
I look at each of their horrified faces, I can't believe what has happened to us. They are ruining our lives, stealing each of us one by one until we've all become theirs. My family is gone, my best friend is gone, everyone in my past life is gone. All that we have left is each other and now they're taking that away as well.
We watch through the small window on the door as they pile through the front entrance. A few of them snatch him up in their arms and carry him away, while the others look around for more humans. I make eye contact with one of them, and I see it tilt it's head, focusing
its eyes on me, and begin walking directly towards the small room in a very fast pace.
"It saw me." I mouth towards the others. Ethan quickly covers the window with a piece of torn cardboard box. We all lean against the door as they begin to bang and scratch on the other side. It's just a matter of time before they get in.
