Aaron continued to try his luck as the creatures creep closer, the half-blind creature is about to strike at the glass separating the two of them!
Boom!
The glass shattered, throwing off several sharp pieces of glasses at Aaron, even though the claw missed him, the random, glasses still managed to strike his head eliciting a groan from Aaron.
Vroom!
'Finally!' Aaron cried out in his heart and a smile formed on his lips as he shouted and stomp on the gas and accelerated leaving the two creatures in the dust!
As he navigate through the city, he noticed that there is a thick stench of blood that permeated the air and the fog is becoming denser, the creatures are increasing in umbers and he is already familiar with seeing them.
'Please be safe' Aaron prayed in his heart.
The areas that are supposed to be bustling are now deserted… only for the sound of weird hissing, howling, strange whispers, the distant cries of people as they were wantonly slaughtered.
Aaron is shaking at this moment, he wished that this will just be a nightmare that he would wake up from, how did such calamities befall the human race and why? Why would the sun disappeared?
The most annoying part is that there is no warning or any premonition about any of these happening, but even if there is a warning, a lot of people wouldn't have listen.
A lot of people would have mocked the warner, no one would've believed that the something like this would've happened, something that is nothing short of a scene from a horror movie!
His car is badly damaged at this point, from running over the strange creatures, the windscreen is already broken but thankfully, he is only about a few blocks away from the school!
It didn't take long for Aaron to arrive at the school gates which is closed at this moment, amidst the strange whispers and snarling of the strange creatures, he jumped towards the fence and haul his tired body over.
"Urgh..." he groaned and struggled to get back on his feet once again.
The entrance of the school is closed and, there are corpses of kids all over the place…
This strange creatures have no mercy for even the children, this further fan the flames of rage and hatred in his heart… and with that rage and hatred is a lurking fear and uncertainty… what if his beloved daughter is one of those corpses?
He immediately get work turning the corpse of the students over and inspecting them… Praying that Nina isn't one of them.
It took him a few minutes before he managed to inspect all the corpses and to his relief, Nina isn't one of them.
Without wasting time, he ran to the hallway, in the far end of the hall, he can actually hear some sounds… sounds made by humans!
'That is probably the place where the students are!' With this thought, he ran with all his mind but when he arrived before the classroom, he found out that it was locked!
"Open up!" He shouted as he knock on the door with all his might.
"Who are you?!" A matured feminine voice asked.
"Maybe the government sent some soldiers!" An enthusiastic voice of a child sounded.
"Apparently he is not a Nightwalker!" Another student said, the term Nightwalker is the name they gave to the strange monsters.
"I'm here to help you! My daughter is in this school, her name is Nina!" He shouted once more.
He heard some whispers and there is a pause and he waited anxiously, if they really decided not to open the door, he would have to break it!
Click!
The moment they opened the door, Aaron heart raced as he pushed through the crowd of students and teachers standing before him.
Since the moment he saw the first Nightwalker, he knew that they must've appeared near the school as well, he knew he had to get his daughter!
He believed she is in here, waiting for him to come and rescue her but the crowd before him, even though they are made up of students and teachers, the numbers is simply enormous! They are thick and unyielding like a living and breathing wall, or maybe he just didn't gave them enough time to get out of the way.
"Calm down sir-"A female teacher attempted to block his way but he quickly push her back and continued on his path.
"Is this guy normal?"
"Definitely crazy…" This is what most of them believed, this man is definitely crazy!
"Maybe he is infected?!" With this last comment, the crowd immediately panic once more but Aaron didn't care, he is here for his daughter, stabilizing the situation will have to come later.
"Nina! Nina! Where are you?!" He called out, his voice trembling.
But the panicked crowd made it even harder for him to move fast.
Furthermore, the space is extremely full at this moment but he is still able to get a glimpse of a cleared area… to reach that location is his goal because even from afar he is able to see injured humans at that space and to his shock, Nina's body is there as well!
