Sorry, guys I meant to update earlier this week, but life got in the way. Just so you know this chapter is quiet long. So be prepared.

We have been driving some time on the road not sure where we were heading to. My dad tried to avoid major highways as much as possible. Looking out the window, I could see the sun rising. While we drove I just kept praying those aliens don't find us and thinking what will happen to us if they did. What if they are like the aliens on the movie 'Alien' or 'Predator'? I turn around in my seat several times looking out the back window making sure we weren't being followed.

My action seemed to have caught my mom's attention since she spoke up. "Kat, why don't you try to catch some sleep? It will keep your mind off things." With that being said I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.



"Oh you got to be kidding me!?" I woke up to my dad shouting out.

"What's wrong dad?" Jacob asked. We all gave my dad a concern look.

"Well the car is almost on E. Jacob, I thought I told you to fill it up full tank Friday afternoon."

"Sorry, dad I kind a got distracted with this girl. I-"

"You know what never mind. I just need to find a gas station fast or we will be walking."

Eventually, my mom pulled out a road map from the dashboard and found that there was a small town 5 miles ahead. After that we sat in silence hoping the car will hold on a little longer.

I looked out the window and saw a small town up ahead. As we got closer to the town we can see the road to the entrance to the town had been fenced off with armed men guarding it. My heart started to beat fast with the thought that they could be aliens too like the men on the radio.

"Dad I thin-" I spoke up, but was interrupted by my dad.

"Everyone just be quiet and stay calm. I will handle this." My dad said as we pulled up to the fence where two men began to approach us. One man went to my father's window and the other to my mom's. In which the rest of the men went to look around our car looking for anything suspicious. My dad rolled down his window to talked to the man.

"Look, sir, we need you to take your family and go. We are not accepting new comers here." The man said.

"Wait. Please hear us out. We just need gas and somethings for the road then we will be on our way." The man looked at my dad and us with a conflicted look on his face.

Then my dad continued. "I know they look like us, but we are not one of them. I wish there was a way we can prove it, but I can't because we don't know exactly what they are. Please consider letting us through." The man looked at us and back at his men.

He hesitantly nodded his head and said, "Let them through. You can stay as long as you like, but I will keep my eye on you." My dad thanked the man and the man introduced himself as Steve. The fence was opened for us to drive through. Once we got further into town we saw people carrying supplies to their houses and people boarding up their windows. Eventually, we found a gas station. While my dad got gas we got out to stretch our legs. I had to go to the bathroom so I went into the convent store and headed toward the restroom. After I did my business I headed toward the car; where I saw my parents talking to Steve about something.

I went up to my brother and put a hand on his shoulder. "What are they talking about?" I asked.

"Well mom and dad are thinking about staying in a hotel here." Jacob said.

"Really, I'm glad because I would like to sleep in a bed instead of the floor."

I saw my parents walk over to us after they finish talking to Steve.

"Okay we are going to head over to a hotel and stay a few nights." My dad said then looked around. "Where's Rebecca?" Just has he asked that Rebecca came out of the convent store with a few candy bars and some chips?

"Hum, where did you get the money from?" I asked her.

"It's my birthday money and don't go thinking you can eat up all my food." Rebecca said and walked towards the car. Well then, we'll see about that.

******

It was now late in the late evening and we were eating sandwiches and chips again in the hotel room. When we first got to the hotel the lobby was packed full of people from out of town. We were lucky enough to get a room even though it was not the best because earlier I saw cockroach trying to steal a chip out of Rebecca's bag. She screamed and ran into the bathroom.

After we finish eating dinner we decided to get ready for bed. Thanks to the hotel generator we are able to take a shower. After the shower I said a night prayer and quickly went to sleep.



'BANG! BANG! BANG!' I was awakened by the sound of gunshots outside the hotel. The sound of people screaming was heard from outside along with...growling!?

"What the heck is going out there?" Jacob asked.

"I don't know, but I think we need to get out of here." I said. With that everyone quickly got up and gathered their things. Once we did that we went to the door and my dad open the door slowly and stuck his head out the doorway. Once he saw no one in the hallway he motion for us to follow. The hallways remind me of a scene in a horror movie the lights blinking and some clothes spread out on the floor. We could still hear commotion coming from outside and inside the building. When we got to the end of the hall we decided to take the emergency stairs instead of the elevator just to be safe. We quickly walked down the stairs then finally to the emergency exit. My dad once again slowly opens the door to see if anyone was in the alley, but there wasn't.

"We need to find a way to get to the front of the building, where the car is without being caught." My mom said.

We all ran to the end of the alley and stopped and looked around the corner. We could not believe our eyes when we say giant wolf things tackling people to the ground. While some uniform men aimed guns at people who force to sit on the ground while being hand cuffed. I then tried to focus on where the car was so we can get out of here. I looked around for our car then we spotted it across the other side of the parking lot. Of course it would be, why not!?

"Dad what the heck are we going to do with those things out there? We will get caught if we go out there." I said. I was so freaking scared to move.

"Look we got to try, but we ju-" GGGRRRRR! We all jumped when heard that terrifying sound and turned around to see a giant wolf thing standing behind us. Then it got on all fours ready to attack us then it stopped and sniffed the air. It looked at all five of us then stopped to look at Rebecca and sniffed toward her direction. Then it gave her an odd look.





"What's it doing?" Rebecca asked looking scared.

I started to back away. "I don't know, but...RUN!" I shouted then turned and ran with my family following pursuit. A few seconds later I heard a scream that sounded like Rebecca. I turned to see the wolf thing on top of her. Suddenly, it bit her on her shoulder. Rebecca let out an ear piercing scream then fainted.

"REBECCA!" My dad shouted as tried to run to her, but the wolf growled and stood over her like in a ...protective stance? Jacob tugged my dad's arm saying we have to go. Hesitantly, my dad ran with us to the parking lot. Surprisingly, the wolf thing did not chase us. We ran until we saw a wolf coming and hide behind a car. I looked under the car to see its paws walking passed the car until it stopped all of a suddenly. We heard a sniffing sound then it ran away. With that we thought that was our chance to move as soon as I came from behind the car my heart dropped when I bumped into something hard and furry. I backed up to see a wolf thing growling at me. He had to be over seven feet. I started to back up when I felt someone else's back hit mine. My family and I was surrounding by them. So, this is how I am going to die?
