Eli's+Group

=**__Lights Out __**=

The air was cool and the sky was full of stars. There was a full moon out, the perfect setting for a Halloween night though Eli as he stepped into his red corvette. This was the biggest party of the year at Spellman College. He slowly pulled in to the parking lot of the Gillman dorm. He jumped out of his car and ran all the way upstairs to room 241. He opened the door very slowly and shouted boo. There was a loud crash in the room. He began to laugh and walked over to help Brooklyn pick up her stuff. “That’s not funny” Brooklyn exclaimed, “You know I get scared easy” “That’s why you have me” Eli said,” To protect you always” “You Promise” said Brooklyn” “Promise” said Eli, “You ready to go now” “Yup” said Brooklyn “Let’s go”

The two walked to Eli’s car and began to drive to the hall where the party was being hosted at. Eli began to remember how the first met. Just a year ago at this same exact party their paths crossed, it was like faith. Eli had wanted to talk to her weeks. He had seen her cheering on the sidelines while he played football. She was the prettiest cheerleader, no the prettiest girl he had every seen. She had long wavy jet black hair, smooth caramel skin, beautiful green eyes and a curvy body to match. Brooklyn had been checking him out too. He had curly black hair, smooth olive tone skin, plus he was popular and smart. They both found their chance to talk to each other at the party, and since then they have been dating.

Finally they got to the hall. Before Brooklyn got out of the car Eli pulled her in for a kiss. “What was that for “said Brooklyn? “Just because I love you “replied Eli. “I love you more” said Brooklyn. They got out of the car and walked hand and hand into the brick building. As soon as they walked in all eyes turned to them, Brooklyn was the girl they all wanted to be or date and the same could be said for Eli. Everywhere they went they were the center of attention. Familiar faces started to make their way through the crowd; it was their besties: Ty, Jason and Ashley. “Hey girly”, said Ashley, “finally you made it; now the party is really going to get started!” “You know it.” Brooklyn said confidently. They both laughed. A party wasn’t a good party unless Ashley and Brooklyn were there. Not only were they the prettiest girls on campus but, they were also the best dancers. Because of these two reasons, even though they had many friends, they also had many haters. “The haters are watching and talking “said Ashley as she rolled her eyes. In unison they both proclaimed “they make us more famous hahaha….” “Hey Ty and Jason” said Brooklyn “Hello beautiful” said Ty “Hey babe” said Jason “Yo, don’t talk to my baby like that” said Eli “You know I only got eyes for Ashley” laughed Ty “You better there are so many other guys that would kill for this” Ashley said jokingly. “Yeah, but you chose me.” Said Ty “Damn, I really need to get a girlfriend” laughed Jason “I’m tired of you being such lovebirds, one of ya need to hook me up with one of ya girls”

"Wanna dance babe?" said Ty “Well duh." said Ashley" “I wish someone would ask me to dance” laughed Brooklyn. She noticed that Eli wasn’t listening. Eli stood there staring in a daze with fierce eyes, one his eyes glowing red. Something was different about him. “Hello, earth to Eli” she said. Finally Brooklyn decides to walk over to him. "What's wrong babe." He still didn't say anything, but then all of a sudden he just snapped out of his weird look. "Oh, what's up babe what did you say again?" "Nothing I was checking on you because you had a weird look on your face." Brooklyn said. “I’ll be right back babe I'm going to get something from the car", answered Eli. As soon as Eli stepped outside the door something seemed weird about the night. The stars had faded away and there was a thick layer of mist arising. He got a chill down his spine. All of a sudden Eli felt a massive wind attack him and a strong light came and Eli was blinded he couldn't see anything. Squeaky voices was all Eli could hear, he had a feeling that he was not alone. He began to yell but soon it was still again. Something began to drag him into the woods. Eli was in a daze. “Where am I” said Eli “You will know soon enough” said the voice. He laughed in a deep eerie voice. “Soon enough you will all know” Back inside the music was still playing and the atmosphere seemed cool. Everybody was having fun dancing except for Brooklyn. She was getting a worried. Twenty minutes had passed and still, Eli wasn’t back yet. She dialed his number on her phone, it went straight to his voicemail. Something is not right, he always has his phone on. "What could possibly be taking him so long" thought Brooklyn aloud. Brooklyn finally decided to go look for him, she grabbed her coat and went outside. “Eli, baby where are you?" called Brooklyn while slowly walking towards Eli's car. When she got to the car she stepped on something and looked down to see what it was she had stepped on. She opened her phone up to shine some light on the object. She stared with horror, her throat got all dry and scratchy and not a word came out. She wanted to scream and cry but at the same time she couldn't, she had no reaction at all her body got numb and she couldn't move at all. Ashley noticed that her girl Brooklyn wasn’t at the party anymore so she called over Ty and out they both went looking for Brooklyn and her man. From a far away distance Ashley could discern Brooklyn in the parking lot. “Brooklyn,” yelled Ashley. But there was no answer which had seemed weird. Ty walked cautiously over to where Brooklyn was standing still. When he looked down he couldn’t believe his eyes, his life long friend, Eli, had been lying there dead with his blood red eyes wide opened as if he had just seen a ghost. There was a puddle of blood all around where Eli was laying. Ashley ran inside to call a police. Brooklyn finally got her body back and she knelt down next to Eli crying her eyes out. Soon enough an ambulance came with a body bag for Eli’s body. His corpse was to be taken to the hospital for an investigation. Eli hadn’t been shot nor stabbed, whatever had killed him left unusual bites all over his body. The bites hadn’t been done by a human or an animal so the only explanation was aliens. The doctors had seen anything like it before, there was no explanation. Brooklyn cried out in rage "NO! My boyfriend he's the best thing that has ever happened to me you can't let him slip away!" The rest of Eli’s friends stood in silence trying to take in everything what was happening, what had attacked Eli how could this happen. This was one of the most creepy Halloween nights ever why Eli? All of them were think the same question, but the thing that bothered them the most was not know what had attacked their friend everyone stood around in dead silence. What was happening? How could a night of fun turn out like this? Brooklyn could not do anything but cry, not only was Eli her best friend, but he was also her first love. He was the only family she had. She was an orphan, with him she felt like she finally belonged. Ty and the others decided that there was no use hanging around the hospital anymore, Eli was dead, and there was nothing they could do. “I can’t believe it” said Ashley “I just can’t, I will not, this is just a bad dream” “Shut up Ashley this is reality he is dead, gone, no more okay’’ So stop talking about it” Ty said with tears in his eyes. “Just get in the car, I want get out of here” The car ride back to campus was silent; no one knew what to say. Nothing would make them feel better. Suddenly an object jumped in front of the car. They swerved in a ditch. The car exploded just as they escaped from it. “What is going on tonight” yelled Jason “God are you mad at us, you just took away our best friend and we almost just died” “What’s jumped in front of the car” asked Ashley “I don‘t know, all I saw was a glow” answered Brooklyn “Same here, this night just keeps getting creepier “said Ty “TY!” screamed Ashley” watch out” Suddenly a glowing figure grabbed Ty and threw him to the floor. Ty tried to fight but the figure was too strong for him. Suddenly he stopped moving. Ashley could see small bite marks all over him. “Oh My God, Ty is died, whatever it is killed Eli too, now he is coming for us” screamed Ashley. Now the figure was looking at Ashley, Jason and Brooklyn. Jason began to run down the narrow road. “Ashley, come on” yelled Brooklyn “No, I’m not leaving him” cried Ashley She began to run towards Ty but before she got there the figure had killed her instantly. Brooklyn began to run down the path toward Jason. Soon she caught up with him, the figure wasn’t too far behind them. Suddenly Jason tripped and fell. Brooklyn didn’t notice and kept on running. Soon Jason met his fate. Brooklyn heard a loud scream behind her, she knew that voice, it was Jason she was the last one left. The figure cut through the woods and soon started to gain on her. He jumped out from behind the trees and stood in front of her. “You thought you could out run me didn’t you” the figure exclaimed. He laughed “How dumb you have been, now you will meet your fate, you will soon be reunited with your friends.” Brooklyn began to scream. “No one can help you now”, he said as he lifted her off the ground. “Please” she begged” don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”

Brooklyn was screaming and sweating like crazy. “Baby its me Eli, get up”, said a soft voice.” Brooklyn broke out in tears, “ Eli, why you leave me, I miss you so much you were my everything, please come back, I need you.” Brooklyn felt a hand on her shoulder gently shake her and she woke up. To her surprise Eli was sitting at the edge of the bed looking down at her. “Babe relax, your ok, I’m here now.” “Oh, Eli your alive” cried Brooklyn, “I had a horrible dream”. “Its ok baby it was just a dream come along now and get up its almost time for the Halloween party.” Brooklyn got up and went to get dressed.

They had just arrived at the party and everything was cool. Brooklyn and Eli got up to dance a slow romantic song and they were having a good time being with each other. “Man I’m so lucky to have you” whispered Eli into Brooklyn’s ear. Brooklyn smiled and said, “No, I’m the lucky one. I love you.” The song ended and they went to sit down with their friends. “Ay Eli I forgot my cell phone in your car man. Can you run out and get it from me?” asked Ty. “Sure man. I’ll be right back Brook.” “Alright hun, don’t take long.” It had been a while since Eli had gone out to get Ty’s cell phone and Brooklyn decided to go look for him. She walked outside and over to Eli’s car where the lights were still on. Then suddenly she screamed out “Noooooooooooooo!” Eli was lying on the floor with a puddle of blood all around him and his blood red eyes wide opened just like in her dream. “How could this be” thought Brooklyn. Her dream was coming true.
