An ambush

The crowd started running away from the onslaught ahead of them to escape the merciless slaughter, only to find out that they were surrounded with nowhere to escape.

Shawn and I were stuck in the middle of 700,000 people and could only hold hands so we wouldn't get lost in the frantic pushing and shoving of the panic-struck crowd.

*CRUNCH!*

[SURVIVORS: 667: 542]

"What the f*ckwas that?" I looked around in confusion, trying to locate the crunching sounds I'd heard earlier with people screaming and saw something I will forever regret turning my head to look at.

*CRUNCH!*

*CRUNCH!*

"ARG-"

*CRUNCH!*

"AAAAARGH SOMB-"

*CRUNCH!*

"HE-"

*CRUNCH!*

"M-M-MU-"

*CRUNCH!*

"NO!"

"ROAR!"

I was Horrified and utterly gutted as limbs flew high up into the air and sickening unrecognizable, completely mangled Bloody bodies flew into the atmosphere painting the sky red with their guts still opened, reaching out like tendrils as they then came in contact with the ground.

*Thud!*

*Squelch!*

*Crack!*

Frightened I was, but adrenaline kept me moving

Gutted I was but the will to live kept me awake!

Petrified I was to hear the screams of the dead and dying

THUMP!- THUMP!- THUMP! my heart was beating like a drum against my chest, bringing me instant pangs of pain every aching second; it felt like someone was hammering my body into a nail with ruthless monotony.

FEAR!

RUN!

SAFETY!

SURVIVE!

My FR double SS'S were only emotions and thoughts running through my body and mind at this moment as it felt like death was growing closer with every Crunch that ended with a scream, Every scream that ended in...

DEATH!

"Hey! AUTRY! Snap out of it! We need to keep moving!"

Thanks to Shawn snapping me out of my Dazed state, I was somewhat able to get my bearings together. I turned and looked at my friend, and almost instantly, tears began running down my face.

"B-bro, I'm so f*cking scared" slowly taking a deep breath, I said, " I-I don't wanna die!" Bit by bit, I was losing my sanity.... as I stared on towards the creatures who brought me this... pain!

A crazed expression was slowly forming on my face as I stared onwards, facing the Monsters with intent to...

KILL!

*SLAP!*

"W-wha"

"BRO! I TOLD YOU TO SNAP OUT OF IT! HELL YEAH, I'M ALSO F*CKING SCARED, BUT WE HAVE TO SURVIVE, NO!?, AUTRY, I WON'T LET YOU LOSE YOURSELF SO EASILY... Y-YOUR MY BEST FRIEND, BRO! EIGHT YEARS BRO, EIGHT F*CKIGN YEARS; I WON'T LET ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS! I-I thought that... w-we were meant to be the strongest, bro? The perfect duo... C*mKingOverlord and his best mate... Six-Inches_Tall_And_Wide ('sigh')... no?"

I looked at my best friend, my only... friend Shawn; I could see the fear in his eyes, his conviction to get me and him out of this alive as he gave me a sad smile. His Green eyes locked with mine, and I slowly picked myself up, forming a resolute will to survive and live to see tomorrow.

"Bro let's do this," said my friend. As he brushed his black hair aside, I nodded to him, saying,

"Yeah, let's do this".

[SURVIVORS: 664,895]

Shawns POV:

I looked at my best friend Autry as he picked himself up. I could see the fire and determination in his eyes to survive as his grey eyes twinkled like stars as the sun shined on them... I could see it! He wanted to fight...and resist death trial...we...wanted to fight....to live!

"Hey, Autry y know ever since you saved me from Mar- ('sigh') my sis-", "leave it bro don't even bother trying to name that witch as she doesn't even deserve to be called your sister," said my friend Autry as he cut me off.

"Hey Shawn, look, let's forget about our past witches and focus on the current objective, surviving!"

"So, Shawn, what I want you to do in preparation is to try using your earth manipulation abilities to create a dome with a door small enough for people to enter, not the monsters."

"Then we could tunnel our way out of here right from underneath those Unsuspecting bastards," said Autry as he angrily clenched his jaw.

Autry had come up with a game plan, and I liked it as it was currently the only possible way to survive our current ordeal, so I happily agreed to his idea.

Shawn bent down and laid his hands on the ground and immediately had his first attempt at using his earth manipulation abilities to create an earth dome.

"This is going to be difficult," I said as I clenched my jaw

*Rumble*

*Rumble*

"huh?" I said quietly to myself

Autry's POV:

As Shawn dug his hands into the ground, I felt a sudden rumble of the earth below.

"Nice one, bro, that was pretty fast," I said as I saw mounds of dirt suddenly popping up near us."

"Huh?, That wasn't me..." Said Shawn confused

"What do you m-" I asked before instantly being cut off.

"Huh? What's this?" Said a young man behind me who seemed to be in his 20s as he stared down at a ground that suddenly collapsed.

"ROAR!"

"FU-"

*CRUNCH!*

*snap*

In an instant, everyone was silent as a crunching sound vibrated throughout every ear of every person in the surrounding area.

I was instantly frozen in fear as I located a somewhat familiar horrific crunching. I-it was right there... Right beh-.

"AUTRY RUN, NOW!" Shawn screamed at me to run away as if communicating with my friend's emotions. Instead, every inch of my body screamed at me to escape as an overbearing aura of power and dominance crash landed in a sudden rage on my body, rendering me immobile.

*CRUNCH!*

"S-so this is what she meant when she said, 'i have a surprise ready for you...."

"NO!"
