The Beginning
My emerald green eyes came wide open, I saw
myself as I rose up from my bed to face the mirror
directly opposite it. I turned to my alarm clock
which read exactly 6:30 AM. I had woken up before
it rang again.
This was becoming a daily habit as I woke up
before the alarm which was scheduled to go off at
7:00.1 jolted off the bed and shivered a little as the
cold tiles came in contact with my bare feet. I then
immediately walked over to my slippers and put
them on before heading out of my room.
"Mum, dad?", I called out after peeping into my
parent's room and realizing they weren't there,
"dad?"I called again a little louder this time but
there was still no response.
"Donald?", I called after coming out of my twin
brother's room and noticing he was also not there.
This is strange, where did everybody go by six in
the morning", I thought loudly as I quickly
descended the stairs and headed towards my elder
siblings room.
I decided to check my elder brother, Richard's
room first. I opened the door slowly as it made a
slight creaking noise and I peeked inside only to
find nothing but scattered clothes, untied bed
and other messy things all around the place. It was
a typical teenage boy room.
"Richard!?", I yelled twice as I came out of the
room but l still received no reply. I now headed to
my eldest sister's; Elizabeth's room, I opened the
door slowly like I did to my eighteen years old
brother's.
Panicked and fear were beginning to touch my
features as I came out of my empty sister's room.
This was just to seven and nobody was in the
Where could everybody have gone by this time l
kept thinking Until was snapped out of my trance
by a loud clatter which seemed to have come from
the kitchen.
I headed towards the kitchen hoping to find my
family in it but on reaching my destination, my
eyes widened in shock as I saw the view in front of
me, my mum was lying lifelessly on the kitchen
floor near a large growing puddle of a red liquid;
blood.
"Mum?" I forced out as my voice quivered in fear,
"dad?" I whimpered with tears rolling down my
cheeks when I saw him laying next to my mum
with three people which seemed to be Donald,
Richard and Elizabeth kneeling over him.
At first I thought they were moaning over my
parent's body not until I got closer and got the
shock of my life; my siblings were literally eating
my parents and the moans were not moan of
sadness but sounded more like moans of hunger.
They had long claws in which they all used to tear
my parents flesh and sharp teeth in which they
used to chew the raw human flesh.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys!?" I yelled as
tears flowed freely down my cheeks then the
three of them head snapped towards my
direction. With a sickening look in their eyes they all
stood up in total uniform including my dead
parents and they all started walking towards me.
"Uhm guys?" I whimpered in fear as they all
stargazed towards my body which was now
instinctively moving backward until I hit the wall. A
quiet shriek escaped my mouth as I had nowhere
to go and they were gaining on me.
"Alright guys, if this is a joke or something you can
stop it now cause l'm really freaking out" I screamed as they were getting closer and seemed
4
not to be joking.
They were now directly in front of me and they
were all opening their mouth in an attempt to bite
through my flesh and as my dad did, I screamed
7
very loudly and my alarm clock rang.
ooo
I immediately sit up on my bed and checked my
hand in which my dad had bitten me, there wa
nothing there.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
"It was all a dream" I said gladly, heaving a sigh of
relieve.I stretched my hand to switch off my alarm
clock which was still buzzing loudly. After doing
that I face my mirror and realized my long brown
hair which I knotted into a bun was a total mess. I
must have been rolling in my bed.
I swiftly turned to my right hand side
and got off the bed and as my feet came
down on the tiles, I shivered a little due
to it's coldness.
Deja reve.
As the thought of that came to my mind,
I quickly dashed out of my room not
even bothering to put on my slippers
and ran to my parent's room.
I started breathing heavily asI was
panicking and freaking out, 'what if
my dream was coming to pass, what
if my whole family had turned into
monsters that were going to eat me'
these thoughts ran through my mind as
I realized my parent's room was empty.
I quickly closed the door and dashed
towards Donald's room but unlike
my dream, he was in his room and
Elizabeth wasn't living with us, she was
already in college in another town.
"Can't you knock" Donald demanded
"Where is mum and dad" I asked
totally ignoring the request of my twin totally ignoring the request of my twin
brother who quickly used his bed sheet
to cover his body, he was wearing justa
pair of boxers.
"They are out of the country" he replied
like it was the most obviuos thing in the
world, "what happened?"
"I totally forgot they were travelling
today and I had this weird dream
where" I was about to narrate my
whole dream to my twin brother when
I got interrupted by the door of his
room coming wide open with a loud
bang following it as it the wall.
A head poked inside which was
Richard's but he couldn't see me as his
whole body was not inside the room.
"Hey donny, have you seen Ella?, I
checked her room and she was not
ther-" he was saying before Donald cut
him off.
"Why dosen't anyone respect my
privacy in this house, I could have been
naked for christ sake" Donald blurted
out because his elder brother didn't
knock.
"Over here" I said calling Richard's
attention by waving my left hand in the
air.
"Oh, there you are" Richard who was
still standing at the door said before
coming in fully as we both ignored my
twin brother.
"Uuhgguh" Donald mouthed.
"Well then, breakfast is ready" he
informed us.
You made breakfast?. Yuck." Donald
said sticking out his tongue in disgust
at the thought of Richard making
breakfast. Richard was actually very
terrible in cooking. "You better go and
wake that sleepyhead friend of your-"
Donald was saying before getting
interrupted by his door swinging open
and a loud bang following it as it hit the
wall once again.
"I'm already awake dumbass" my
blond, blunt best friend Lisa came into
view as she entered the room. She slept
in our guest room because her parents
had also travelled with mine. We've
been friends since we were three years
old and we knew each other very well.
She was very blunt to the extent that
she would abuse anyone that messed
with me or her and I mean anyone, she might even get physical sometimes.
Our parents were very close so she had
come to sleep over countless times and
since her elder brother and sister were
also in the same college with Elizabeth
[in another town], she would have been
alone at home so she decided to come
and sleep over.
"Seems like the words 'privacy and
respect' dosen't exist anymore" Donald
complained, sarcasm dripping in his
voice.
"Oh, they do but you just don't deserve
any of the two. Idiot." Lisa mocked,
seeming to know the reasons why he
said that.
Lisa and Donald never got along since I
have known both of them. They always
acted like Tom And jerry with Lisa
being the mouse and Donald Being the
cat.
All of us exited Donald's room except
Donlad who stayed behind supposedly
to get prepared.
"Did Richard prepare breakfast?" Lisa
asked as the dining table which was full
of burnt food came into view. "yup" I answered simply
"Seems like I'm skipping breakfast
then" Lisa replied walking pass the
dining and heading to the living room.
She also knew how terrible Richard was
at cookinng.
"O c'mon, Ella, am I that bad in
cooking?" Richard asked me giving me
the puppy dog eyes which were so cute
on him because of the sparkling green
eyes he shared with me.
"No, no. You are not-" I was about to lie
to him when I got cut off by Lisa who
was now in the living room.
"Yes, yes you are" she blurted, "no
offence but infact you are not bad, you
are terrible, very very terrible" she
spoke again.
"You are the worst, man" Donald, my
seventeen year old twin brother said
while walking down the stairs.
He was now wearing a blue top and
black jean trousers with a black leather
jacket in his left hand.
He walked over to the table to join
Richard and I, on getting to the table, he
took a sit in his favourite spot and joined us in eating.
Tm going up to take my bath" Lisa
informed us, "unlike some people" she
added directing her voice to Donald as
she walked up the stairs.
"Yuck!" Donald exclaimed spitting out
the food in his mouth, "what is this?"
he asked with disgust touching his
feautures.
"Spagetti and meat balls" Richard
who seemed to be enjoying his food
answered simply.
I was actually shocked by his reply,
I was thinking the meatballs were
burnt plantain and the spaggeti was
burnt scrambleld eggs and with the
expression on Donald's face it simply
said the food was no good.
"I think I will also skip breakfast" I told
Richard as I dropped my spoon and
headed upstairs to take my bath.
"Yeah, me too" I heard Donald say as
I climbed the stars, "I can't eat over
salted burnt food" he muttered, heading
to the living room since he was already
dressed and wasn't taking a bath today.
"Whatever. Suit yourself" Richard Stack who now the only one left at the table
muttered as he continued eating.
I entered my room and locked the door
as I took off my night gown and walked
into the bathroom.
In my house, every room had its
own bathroom so their was enough
bathrooms for everybody and even two
general ones to spare.
I spent ten minutes in the bathroom
having a good bath before I came out
and wore a black tank top on a pair
of blue jeans then slid on a blue jean
jacket, carried my bag and headed out
of my r0om.
On reaching the living room, I saw Lisa
and Donald watching the only thing
they both liked; Wrestling.
I branched the kitchen and opened the
fridge, grapped an energy bar and a
box juice then closed the fridge back
and headed to the living room to join
Lisa and Donald.
The three of us watched Wrestling
for about fifeteen minutes before
Richard who we were waiting for came
downstairs.
"I'm ready" Richard informed us
and we all stood up and carried our
backpacks after Donald switched off
the tv.
The four of us exited the house and
headed to the garage and when we
reached there, we all entered the car.
As Richard entered the driver's seat, he
started the car and we headed out of
the house.
After he drived out he parked the car in
front of the house and got down to lock
the gate and once he was done with
that, he ran back to the car, entered it,
started it and drove off as the four of us
headed to school with no idea of what
was awaiting us.
