From Dark to Light

The sound of heavy and rapid footfalls could be heard on the pavement, followed shortly after by howls and screeches could be heard for miles, as well as screams of fear.

"Help! Help! Oh, please someone help me!" Those were the screams of what others thought was a dead person and they weren't willing to help because they knew that going out in the night was certain death if you were caught on the streets. They looked to be ten to twelve years old.

As they ran they turned and saw something that they had heard stories of from others who had witnessed this before. Hundreds of monsters of all shapes and sizes were chasing after them coming from inside buildings, and chasing from the streets and the roofs. They had nowhere to go except to keep running down the street. But of course they had tested their luck too much, an giant monster came around the corner and cut off their only escape, the monster was about the height of a semi-truck, it was deathly pale, with only a pair of tattered pair of pants, but the most discerning feature was the giant piece of rebar and concrete that was fused into their hand.

'A goon! Aw crap!' this was the first thing they thought when they saw this. They turned to their left to see another monster. It was feminine, it wore a tattered dress with a locket around its neck, and it's fingers looked to have elongated into blades. A banshee.

They immediately thought, 'Could this get any worse!?' When they had already lost all their hope of making it to daybreak luck decided to rub a little salt into the wound.

An horrible howl, something that forebode death for those that couldn't get to safety. The howl of a Volatile. As they turned towards the howl of death itself the Banshee went for a cheap blow and they sliced their arm.

"Ah!" They were surprised by the attack, and tried to get away, only for the goon to slam their rebar fused arm into their foot, breaking if not pulverizing the bone.

The not so lucky survivor of these attacks tried to get up and run, only to go a few steps and stumble. The howls of the Volatile could be heard getting closer, so they tried to get up, and they did, and out of the corner of their eye they saw a light. Almost as if daylight were on the other side of that door. So they did the only thing they could, they hobbled over as fast as they could to escape with an obnoxious beeping noise giving their location away.

After they had made it to the door the Volatile jumped out from nowhere and barreled them both through the door. "Light." was the only thing they thought they finally made it through the door, right after that they heard the sound of thunder cracks, and muffled howling of what sounds to be a dying animal and their vision faded to black, with one sentence being heard before their consciousness faded as well. "Hey! Someone get the EMT's here NOW, someone came through the door with that thing!"

=====================================================

Hey I'm back! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I've made my MC come from a scary place to live in, the world of Dying Light, and if you're wondering "why didn't they just run up onto the roofs?" well they are around ten to twelve in this first chapter, and it was around 2am when we started following them. Also if you haven't read the synopsis yet you probably should do so that you're informed about some things about this story.

Other than that, I hope you have a great day/night, Bye!
