FOUR

Angel POV.

This morning's announcements were crazy, they are crazy, I don't believe there are vampires, but I'm not going out to check, I'm not going to go around asking, who would I talk to? Years later the nuclear war was still causing trouble all over, it got some people to go insane, they thought they were vampires, what's coming next? Werewolves and fairies? If we get to choose, I'm going to be a fairy for sure, I'll be Tinkerbell really, I'd fly around and sing forever young.

I stayed inside for the day looking at the TV, keeping up with the news, there wasn't any analysis today, no one to say that the vampires are a lie or that it's the aliens all over again, but there was no one, which felt weird, but not too weird. I turned the social media, if the news wasn't going to tell me what was going on, I'm sure that social media would, it's the same as it always was, it's people all over the world telling their stories, or telling lies, depends who you're looking at and watching.

The most famous hashtag was, of course, vampires, some people declared to become vampires, and others were putting garlic all over their homes to stay safe, now the nuclear war might have destroyed all the books, history and languages, but it left the myths of vampires and garlic has stayed alive, myths are like cockroaches, they don't die not even by the nuclear blasts.

The people around were scared, they were worried, and they kept on mentioning the fact that this was just another play, this is what they did during the first nuclear war, it's how it all started and everyone needed to take shelter.

There was some more news, the other side of the people and the general opinion people agreed on the fact that the vampires were out, the streets were filled with dead bodies, it was a massacre, they had drank everyone's blood, and some had said that they were changed, but I didn't believe either of those opinions.

I decided that I needed food, I had some left in the house, but only god knows how long I was going to stay inside until this new joke was over, until the truth of all the attacks that have been happening came to truth, there's something going on around and all I want is safety.

I got dressed and ready, I left my apartment and looked at the streets, they all looked normal no attack, no one to declare to be a vampire, and nothing, it was just the normal street, so I walked toward the nearby grocery store, it's not a big supermarket, it's more of a corner shop and that's all I needed, I got a basket and started to fill it with the essentials, ramen noodles, bread, peanut butter, cereal, milk and some chicken nuggets along with a couple produce and pop when I was done, I paid for everything and left back to my apartment, it's a small walking distance and looking around the streets looked to be as safe as they are every day.

Back in the apartment, I locked the door and stayed in, I kept my eye on the news, only one channel had gone back to having people out there talking this breakdown, about the vampires, they had an analysis talking and he had my full attention.

"What a joke! Vampires? We're being robbed, and this just a lie, a way to get us all to give up our money, to close the banks, this is the new war, this is the vampire war," the guy yells, and he was right? Maybe, I wasn't sure.

 The day was very slow, what to do? I'm bored and I had nothing to do, this whole war is kind of stupid, what are we even against, if we all die, then I want to die in my bed, while laying in my room, I don't know what my ancestor did back in the nuclear war, but seeing how my mother adores the action and the rush, her family must probably tried to run off the explosion on their feet, they are crazy, I can imagine an older version of her running, and surviving, crazy bitch.

My father on the other side, I imagine an older verion of him passed out from all the alcohol he have consumed, he didn't even feel a thing, I bet he woke up and searched for more boose.

There wasn't any news and nothing from my work, no more warning of anything, so I stayed inside, I went to sleep early since I was too bored to stay awake for much longer, I woke around four am to my phone going crazy with messages, it's a government message, can't they just wait until the morning, why send them now.

'This is your final warning humans, surrender,' the message says, I looked at it confused, surrender? Who said I'm fighting to begin with? I groaned and turned to the other side going back to sleep, more messages arrived but I ignored them all deciding that sleeping is much more important than any of these stupid messages, I'm not fighting anyone, I'm not a threat.

When the morning came, I woke up slowly, I have slept early, and I'm used to sleeping at early timings, and then waking up early, today was no different.

I ignored my phone knowing too well what I might find in it, and went toward the bathroom, I washed off, and then changed from my sleeping clothes into some sweats, I didn't plan on going anywhere, today either, I finished and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast, I got my bowl of milk and cereal before going toward the couch, I took a seat there and turned the tv on.

"Good morning everyone," the same guy as yesterday says, the one that declared to be a vampire, wow what news does he got today? We're all going to howl to the moon?

"Last night has been a long night, humans didn't believe the threats they thought they could take over all over again, but didn't you all have your chance? Weren't you the one who started a nuclear war? Destorying almost everyone, the one left what have you done but cause more harm?" he says and he's right we did all of the harm to the earth, we're the reason the war have started.

"You were left in charge you got the chance to take care of the world, to be in charge, to do whatever you wanted, and what you did was destroy the planet, what you did was ruin the earth, and now it's time to for you to stop, you're no longer in charge," William the reporter says, so who's in charge now? The aliens.

"From now on, we're in charge, from now on you obey us, from now on, the earth is to the vampires, we're done hiding, we're done playing nice, it's our turn," William says and my heart skips a couple beats, he's for real? What does any of this mean, what's going to happen to us now.

"This is an invasion, this isn't war, don't bother fighting back, don't bother saying you're the resistance, just don't bother children, we're stronger, we have more resources, we have been taking over the whole country one street at a time, we're the ones in charge, so it's better off to just give up," William says with a shrug, he went quiet again, this was his way of dropping big news, this is the second time I watch him and I'm starting to catch up on those points.

"Now that we got that out of the way, no need to worry, no need to be scared, we're going to do this as civily as possible, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you like you human do to each other, I'm not a liar, I'm going to be fully honest, so get ready to hear the truth," he says going silent, for a couple seconds.

"Now, let's start with your president, he had to go, we're not even sorry for that, he's one low key human who was planning on another great war, to steal all your money and make an island for the rich as their resort, of course some of the low clase would stay alive, every royalties need their servents, we tried to talk to him, but he went down the violent street and had to be put down," William says talking about the president as if he's some kind of feral animal.

"The one that have been detained, the human that are under our control for now, they are all safe, they are all sound, well not all of them, some of the rebels had to be disspoased, we're trying to make this civil, help us humans, we're in charge now, no need to fight, everyone would get it's turn, wait for our further instruction. But for now, if you're going to play nice, if you want to give up for a better life without a fight, stay inside, stay home, wait for us, we'll take good care of everyone, you got our word. You're about to have the best life humans has ever had, but for now, stay inside, and wait for us. Forever yours, William," the reporter ended his part, all the channels had him on repeat this time instead of going back to their old show, they kept pulling the same message with red bold words saying, 'If you're peaceful stay inside,' I didn't plan on going out to begin with and after this warning, I'm better staying home.
