Sirens suddenly went off, and helicopters swarmed the air, they all looked out the window as fighter jets passed over buildings.
"Great the military is here" Javier exclaimed in somewhat happy manner, he looked down to see people running for their lives and strange monsters chased after then.
.....
Cross entered the building to see blood stains and bullets littered about, behind him were three soldiers and a scientist. "What happened?" Cross asked.
"We lost connection last night sir, so we don't-" the soldier paused when he heard a crackling sound from above them, they all looked up to see nothing on the ceiling, the moment the looked down they saw a figure before them.
"C-C-CRROOOOOOSSSSSSS" The figure let out in a raspy echoing tone "C-c-cccoome or, oorr diieeeeeee" it bellowed.
Cross had a disgusted look on his face, "Shoot them" he ordered and immediately they soldiers opened fire at them, the figure stood as they were shot at. The soldiers emptied their guns but it didn't seem to have fazed or even scratched their opponents.
The lights suddenly went off, followed by slashing sounds and splatter of liquid on the floor. The moment the lights came back on all the soldiers were dead and all that was left was Cross and the scientist with him.
"C-come" the figure said again and walked away, Cross and his assistant looked around them, absolutely stunned. The soldiers body parts were scattered around them, in a pool of blood. Cross took a deep breath, inhaling the stench of blood before he took a hesitant step forward as he followed after the figures, the scientist followed closely behind him.
As they walked, they passed by different creatures that were busy dining on human flesh, most of them were small and looked easy to step on, they had black eyes and green skin, each looked more disgusting than the last.
They stopped in front of the door where the meteorite was being kept, Cross walked in to see Kaitlin growing on the wall, her skin and flesh were merged with the wall and her hair and limbs served as vines as her veins and organs spread out to the wall, forming roots and branches that snaked out of the room and went around the building, she blinked at him when their eyes met.
Cross held down the urge to vomit but his assistant not so much, as he hurled and threw up on the floor, Cross looked over at the meteorite that was being kept, only to see human bodies littered around the room. The bodies looked drained completely of blood and shriveled dry, their eye socket lay hollow as their skin stuck tightly to their bones. They looked like freshly squeezed clothes devoid of liquid.
Four in particular had vines sticking out of their chest, those vines were connected to the meteorite and by the looks of it the vines were draining them of any bodily fluid they had in them, their eyes were suddenly sucked into their skull.
As Cross watched the horrific scene, he didn't even notice when something stood beside him "Eeennnttterrrr" it bellowed, Cross immediately snapped his head to the side, that was when he saw a clearer view of what has been speaking to him all this time.
It skin had patches of green and black, and unlike the others its left eye was black while its right was red, at the moment it was pointing at the entrance to the meteorite
A blue figure suddenly appeared from behind, this was none other than Jane in her naked blue form, in her hands where her two children, she watched as Cross hesitantly entered the room, she and the other disfigured human stepped in after him.
The assistant scientist ran after them and the doors to the room closed. "Tooouuuucchhhhh....." it said as Cross stood before the egg.
Cross let out a sigh as he placed a hand on the meteorite, immediately his skin came in contact with the meteorite it let go of the four bodies it was draining and latched onto Cross. Cross' eyes turned pitch black and blood flowed down from his nose.
A few seconds passed and Cross suddenly fell to his knees before the meteorite "It's an egg" he muttered.
"CROOOOSSSS" His name echoed out around him "BRING ME THE BOYYY" the voice bellowed, a crack suddenly formed on the egg and another vine shot out and made home in the ground. Cross' eyes reverted back to normal as the vines around him loosened and shot about in the room, sticking to the walls and ceiling.
Jane and the other figure went on their knees as vines spread out around the room, the earth suddenly began to vibrate.
.....
"It's awake" Kai heard Entity say and immediately the ground and the walls began to shake, everyone took cover under the tables as Javier yelled earthquake.
The rumbling continued for a while, it even got intense that glasses shattered and broke, after a view minutes it stopped. They slowly crawled out of their hiding places and Javier ran to the window.
"You guys need to see this" he exclaimed and the all except one rushed to the window. They looked out to see vines, sticking out of the ground, decorating the fields and snaking the trees and building. Some trapped humans under them and some went straight through some people killing them.
"Vines?" Eira muttered.
"Those aren't vines" Nour replied "Vines are green... right?" she asked looking at them, the vines came in different colours, purple, blue, green, red, orange etc, it was like a rainbow on the ground.
"Where did they come from?" Lukas asked
"Gee why don't you climb down and go ask them?" Javier retorted, irritated by Lukas' question.
Nour turned around and gasped "Aarav" she called out and the all turned to see Aarav trying to clean off the blood rushing from his nose.
He had tears in his eyes as he tried his best to clean off the blood, "I don't want to die" he sobbed as he used his sleeve to wipe off his blood.
"Calm down Aarav" Nour said calmly, black veins snaked his body.
"He won't die, he'll just kill you all" Entity replied, "He's changing" he added.
"Changing?" Kai asked out in his head.
*Aarav you are going to die* he heard someone say and turned to face Isabella.
"Isabella?" Aarav muttered "N-no you are dead" he stuttered.
"Who's he talking to?" Eira asked as they all looked at him "Is he going insane?" she added.
*Let me help you Aarav* She said and stretched her hand towards him.
"You'll help me?" Aarav asked, the blood that leaked from his nose turned from red to black as he took a step towards her.
*Yes* she said with a sinister smile as he approached her, *You don't have to die* she said the moment he held her hand her eyes turned black *You just have to kill*
"Why is he stretching his hand like that?" Antoine asked puzzled, suddenly a chilling sound echoed in the room and Aarav hand squeezed in on itself.
"FUUUUCKKK!!!" Antoine exclaimed as they watched, they screamed and backed up away from him.
Aarav let out a snarling sound as his bones began to reshape itself, his head got longer as he looked like outstretched dough.
Kai quickly pulled Mika back under the table and the others quickly hid themselves too, none of them wanted to watch Aarav's gruesome transformation.
*BEEELLLLAAA* Aarav bellowed. They all held their breaths as Aarav made his way around the room. He stopped in front of the table Eira was under and tears filled her eyes.
There was a sudden banging sound from the door, someone pushed and squeezed through a small opening and entered the room. Aarav slowly made his way to the door and Eirs let out a relieved sigh.
Whoever it was seemed to have been good at hiding, or thought they were as Aarav began to push the chairs away in search of them. Someone suddenly crawled behind Aarav and made their way under the table.
Eira was shocked to see her classmate Aino seriously crawling on the floor, in an attempt to remain unseen and preserve her life. Eira wanted to call out to her but was afraid Aarav would hear her too so she kept mute.
