5 The Conversation

I looked at him astonished and worried. "How? The hell? Whaaat??" I was so confused. Liam didn't stop talking, he kept talking and Noah stayed silent. "He's going to get what he gets for not listening." He talked for hours on end, not eating, sleeping, or even drinking water. We started to get worried, "Hey Liam, come and sit with us! You haven't even talked to us in a while." We looked over and he was still talking, but all we heard was mumbles and murmurs. Elijah goes over to him, "Hey c'mon, we're worried, you've been on the phone fo- HOLY SHIT!" Elijah immediately tries to separate Liam and his phone. Elijah pulls the phone from his hand and there are black strings or a substance that is sticking itself to his hands and the phone. Liam looks at us and he has the black substance leaking out of his ears. "Let me talk." He says and it leaks out of his mouth, "ELIJAH GET AWAY FROM HIM. THIS IS NOT HUMAN." Leah yells. Elijah gets the black stuff all over his arm. "Oh fuck. Uhh, last words.. I wish I didn't die a virgin?" He screams in pain as the black consumes him. They disappear after the black left them with nothing but their phones on the ground. "We've lost three people. Seven of us are left. What are these things?" We look to each other. We're scared, not that we already were but, "I don't think this is just a bomb." Noah grabs the phones and goes to the stove. He burns them, we hear the crackling and faint screaming of Liam and Elijah when they are burning. "Are.. They inside the phones?" Noah nods. "They were going to die anyway. They weren't going to contribute." Leah starts crying, "Hey it's okay, its okay. We're going to be okay." Jacob comforts Leah. My dogs come to lick her tears away, they're so sweet. My babies are so cute! I will do anything to protect them, and my friends, but mostly them. "Lets go to bed." I say, everyone goes to sleep. Honestly it's pretty peaceful than what I would have expected. I woke up, late. Everyone is up already and talking with each other, scared and timid. They're already discussing if any others are going to go. It's the second day, Tuesday already? Tomorrow we have to go out for supplies because since we're harboring now seven people, food and water goes out pretty quick. Thanks to Camila we have a large supply of water bottles because that was the first thing she went for in the house. "Hey, you up yet Ellie?" Jacob says. He was one of the first friends I've ever gotten, closest too. Been together forever as best friends. "Yeah yeah I'm here. What's going on?" He crouches down to get to my level, "Well. Tomorrow is the supply run.. If you can find it, can you get us some candy? Or ice cream? It won't last long and who knows if the ice cream is melted or not but if you can, please?" He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. Now I know puppy dog eyes have never worked on me before, not ever. And this was no exception, but I'm going to do it for him anyways. "You know puppy dog eyes don't work on me Jacob. I'm still going to do it though, just for you okay?" He looks at me excited and also a little bit pissed, "You know you don't have to treat me like a child you know? I'm only 2 months younger than you!" I know.. I still love to tease him though about it. "Hey guys.. How about since it's been about 48 hours, I go up to the actual house part of my house?" They look at me, "I'm coming with you." Jacob says. "Fiiineee, are sure you're not going to be scared?" I say sarcastically, He rolls his eyes in amusement and lightly punches me, "God, if anything I'm older than you mentally." I open my mouth and shout dramatically, "Oh shut up!" I punch him back, he laughs and says to me, "Okay okay. Fine. Are we going to do this or what?" I nod, "Let's do this. Who knows what we'll see out the windows."
