Into Darkness

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chaos.

Complete and utter chaos.

People were crying and screaming.

And I? I was running for my god damned life.

•••

20 minutes earlier...

"I can't believe we won!" I screeched and hugged my twin.

I was grinning widely and jumping up and down.

Why? You may ask.

Because I just won the annual Easter challenge.

You basically had to drop an egg from the top of the school without breaking it.

It was rather lame, but since We won, we also won 250 pounds each, so I certainly wasn't complaining.

With this money I finally could afford the motor cycle I'd been longing for and I was thrilled. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Me neither! I can buy so much pizza with this money" Amber fake drooled and I laughed.

"You better give me some too" I teased her, lifting an eyebrow and letting her know that I'm a little bit

serious.

"As long as you let me ride on your MC" She retorted with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah..." I rolled my eyes and she playfully hit my shoulder.

We were on the way home to tell our parents the news.

I smiled when I heard the birds sing and felt the sun kiss my skin.

This day couldn't get any better.

We soon arrived at our house and I rang the doorbell, waiting for either our Mia or Sandra to open.

Yes, we had two mums.

Our biological mum was 15 when she got us, so Mia and Sandra adopted us.

When no one opened, I frowned and glanced over to my sister, she was mirroring my expression.

"They're probably taking a walk or something" Amber calmed me and I nodded.

She grabbed her keys, but when she was about to open it she stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked her curiously.

"The door wasn't locked" She whispered, panic clear in her eyes.

"It's probably nothing, they just forgot to lock, that's all" I tried to assure her and myself.

I opened the door and slowly entered the hall.

"Maybe you can send Mia a text?" I suggested, I didn't want to worry Amber, but our parents never

went for walks when they knew we were coming home from school.

You see, our parents worked night shifts at the hospital and they usually left for work when we went to

sleep.

And by now they most definitely would have woken up.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea" She agreed and started to tap on her phone.

I froze when I heard something crash upstairs.

I looked over at Amber in panic.

"What the hell?" I whispered with wide eyes.

I started walking toward the kitchen and cursed under my breath every time the floor creaked under my

feet.

"What are you doing?!" Amber scream-whispered.

I slowly opened the kitchen drawer and took out the fattest knifes I could find and waved with them in

the air to show her.

Her mouth formed an 'o' shape and she nodded.

Crash.

Ambers eyes flashed with fear and I carefully walked back to her and handed her a knife.

"I'll go first" I said, taking the first step up the stairs.

She gulped and nodded with big eyes.

When we reached the top of the stairs, I looked around trying to find the crashes source.

Crash.

My head immediately snapped towards my room.

I tiptoed towards the door opening and slowly peeked in.

I covered my mouth to prevent my gasp from sounding, when I saw the man holding my favorite bra

and examining it.

"You peace of shit! What the hell do you think-" I started yelling but stopped when the man turned

around.

I heard Amber suppress a scream behind me.

The mans skin looked rotten, but that wasn't the thing that caught my attention.

It was the big knife stuck in his head and the dark holes where his eyes were supposed to be that took

me off guard.

"Holy motherf*cking shit!" I cussed and turned around.

"RUN" I yelled and both Amber and me practically flew down the stairs, I didn't dare to look back, but I

heard someone walking down the stairs behind us.

Amber swung the door open and when I closed it, I could see the man trying to make his way down the

stairs, but failing miserably.

"LOCK IT, LOCK THE GOD DAMNED DOOR!" I yelled and Amber locked it with shaking fingers.

"We have to get out of here" She said and I nodded.

My eyes turned dark when I heard the sound of a child yelling.

And then a woman.

And another child.

I looked around in panic and saw people running out of their houses everyone screaming and yelling.

And then I saw them.

At least 20 people, both men and woman were slowly walking towards the houses out of the woods,

everyone had greenish skin and some of them seemed to miss body parts or have big wounds all over

their bodies.

"What are we going to do?" Amber cried out and I took her hand while frantically looking around.

I didn't know what to do, more and more of these people seemed to come out of the woods.

"We'll just have to run" I said and let go of her hand.

Chaos.

Complete and utter chaos.

People are crying and screaming.

And I? I was running for my god damned life.
