There were lot of monsters approaching us at great speed. What could we do. we were surrounded and did not find an opening. " Are we really gonna die here " i thought. Jane was weeping. Tears rolled down from Rays eyes. I thought of fighting back till my last breath but i didn't have much energy left. I could barely stand, I closed my eyes. I heard footsteps coming fastly towards us. The sound of footsteps came closer and a strange incident happened, those monsters were standing in front of us frozen. They didn't move for a while and then they started running away. It seemed strange. But we took advantage of the situation we all rushed to an old warehouse nearby. It was silent all of a sudden. Everyone was exhausted we were in need of food and water we searched the building but didn't find anything to eat. Our hunger only intensified for the time being. We needed food and water and we had to get it at any cost. I thought of going out to collect supplies. I convinced my friends about it. We could not die here starving at least we had to try our luck. I found a rusty old pickaxe. I took it with me and went out from the back door. I was not fearless but i think it was my hunger which overpowered my fear. I closed the door and took few steps, there was no sign of the monsters, not even a single blow of wind the sun was shining brightly and the only sound i could hear was the sound of my heart beating at 2× speed. I just went to a shop there it's glass door was shattered there was blood spilled all over and a dead body of a person was lying on the floor. It must've been the body of the shopkeeper. I just went in and searched for food, i found some biscuit and chips, i even took bottles of water and juice. I made my way out of the shop and suddenly started hearing footsteps from the building at the front. The footsteps was not an ordinary one, footsteps of something hugr and big approaching, I just ran to take cover but it was too late, the beast broke through the glass of the building as i turned back it was starting at me a large bloody beast, twice the size of a normal human body with blood all over its body it had huge claws and a monstrous feet.
