Chapter 1 - The Fall of the humans

Arthur was born in the year 2030 he had a fun life and had a lot of friends. He and a very uneventful life doing nothing except worrying about the little things.

Until the night of the year 2038, he was already asleep his parents were still awake, and then outside you heard screams and people shouting this is the end.

His parents barged into his room quickly waking him up. "Mommy," said Arthur "what's wrong" both of his parent's faces looked terrified of something.

That's when I heard the screams and crying of everyone and an explosion that was so loud my ears started ringing.

My parents quickly picked me up and held me so tightly that it started to hurt.

I kept asking what was wrong but they just looked crazed so I stopped asking we quickly barged out of the house and then I saw a scene that would become a scarred image in my head for the rest of my life.

Buildings were on fire and all I heard were screams of agony all around me

Then once I looked up I saw something that I only would see in movies dozens of little demonic and infested-looking spaceships and one huge spaceship that was so big it took up most of the sky.

The little spaceships were shooting at the jets of the army but they hit them every time the jets tried to shoot them they would be stopped by something like a force field.

My parents were running so fast that I kept hearing them huffing for air in the middle of all the screams.

I started to cry because of everyone's reactions and the bodies of people everywhere cars crashed constant explosions and the sound of jets going over us and crashing not that far away.

Then we saw people with white and black attire walking like nothing around them was happening.

One of them had a lifeless and cold look the other one looked like he was happy and had a big smile on his face.

When we got closer they were clearer I don't think mom and dad saw them but they were drenched in blood dripping from their hands.

Then they were all around us everywhere you looked you would see someone in black and white clothes.

They started to kill people with just a smack of their hand people would be sent barreling forward.

My parents looked like they had given up then my mom put me down.

Then my dad said "hey there buddy how's it going" perplexed by the question I said I'm doing okay in a doubtful tone.

Then I asked what was happening and he said "nothing bud there's nothing to worry about".

My mom started to cry and cover her face and then dad looked like he was about to cry but quickly wiped it away.

Then I saw one of the people with black and white clothes walking slowly towards them.

I asked who it that and then dad turned around and looked at the person I heard dad say one thing.

He looked back at me and I saw a face I had never seen before and he said run.

Right after the question, my mom gave me a necklace she always wore and said "remember Arthur we will always be with you" with a smile, and then she screamed " hurry up and leave " with tears all around her face which made me start to cry too.

In the heat of the moment, I quickly ran off in the opposite direction as fast as I could.

I didn't notice it before but since a lot of people had already died the screams and gotten more distant and a lot quieter than before.

I avoided everybody especially the ones in white and black clothes.

I was still crying I have no idea where I was going or where I was at so I found a dumpster in a dark alleyway and got in it.

I looked at the necklace my mom had given me and opened it and it was a picture of them and me at my 3rd birthday party with my hands in chocolate cake with a party hat on.

I started crying so hard my face started to hurt but I knew I had to stay quiet because I couldn't let anyone find me which made it hurt more.

I fell asleep in the dark dumpster and when I woke up I opened the lid on the dumpster slightly and made sure no one was there before I opened it all the way.

It was dead quiet hardly a sound very distant explosions I peeked around the corner of the alleyway and all I saw were bodies on top of each other and people in black and white attire around them setting the bodies on fire like a bonfire.

Then I heard a tv that was a live broadcast and said everyone that is still alive those people who invaded us are called vampires they came to this planet because they wanted to use us as their slaves and turn us into their food we must fight back against the vampires.

Then you saw the broadcaster's blood go all across the wall and a beautiful figure went to the camera and said "this isn't what it seems the human's de" the broadcast turned off before she could finish what she wanted to say.

I figured that she was a vampire with her pale face and bright red eyes. Then I thought about what she might have wanted to say but then I realized that it wasn't my problem nor do I care.

For the next week, I got food from the grocery store that had halfway caved in but had food nonetheless.

I continued to stay in the dumpster until the 9th day when I decided that I should just go to one of the nearby houses.

I saw two people walking along the sidewalk this was the first time I had seen any survivors I overheard them talking about how the cell towers were down so they had no way of contacting anybody.

I decided to not make contact with them since they could be dangerous.

Since you never know how a tragedy might change someone.

I found an apartment complex that had stayed relatively attached I chose the room farthest away from the stairs.

On the door, it had the words ROOM NUMBER 809 the door was wide open I suspected that the previous owners quickly left the room since it was a mess inside.

I didn't see a reason to clean up everything then I found the room key on the table and I shut and locked the door.
