Chapter 4

"911 what's your emergency?"

"... They killed my friends."

She didn't want to leave but she was human enough not to put other's life at risk cause of her grieve. They were lead through the wood by the campers, Glenn held summers hands as that was the only consolation he could provide at the moment. Their hearts were broken and they were still in shock from everything that had happened.

The horrible image of May in the hole totured summer as she sheepishly followed the rest of the campers on their way back to the camp, it was hard to breath, she had no idea why she was even making an attempt to live at that point when she all she wanted to do was die. The wind gushed loudly and suddenly, and it scared them all. They stopped as the movement of a creature passing swiftly could be felt.

"Stay calm everyone we are not so far from the camp " John was optimistic but it wasn't enough to keep them still, the quivering sound of one of the campers was a signal that it was only a matter of seconds before everything went South for them.

"Gary... I know you are frightened but please for your sake and the rest of us do not do anything stupid." John said trying to manage the whole situation and it was too late, the long claws of a beastly creature had slized through someone's flesh. The creature was huge with animalistic features of a wolf it's eyes a shiny red that was visible through the dark. It stood tall with the upper half of it's body widely intimidating and they all looked like ants before him. Their eyes went slowly to look at Gary who it held in it's claws. Their legs began to shuffle but one of the campers stood still, his legs couldn't move and he had pissed on himself.

"Everyone... Run! John screamed and immediately they began sprinted through the dark woods, some towards the direction of the camp, others overwhelmed by fear ran in other directions heading to unknown destinations. Summer was ahead of them all while Glenn and John were behind her. She wanted to die but certainly not in the hands of a beast she was yet to believe was real.

As they ran they could here the screams of the campers behind them as the were being ripped by the creature, the screams were getting closer which meant that the beast was closing in on them and when it got too close that they couldn't ignore, they stopped in their tracks, summer had thought it was Glenn and Glenn thought he was next but it turned out it had gotten to John who was just behind Glenn.

"Run! John yelled as he was being taken they took the flight and this time had no intention of stopping. Glenn was next and he was already loosing his breath, his legs were threatening to give up and he knew that he could be swept off the ground any minute and he was right.

Summer stopped almost falling as she had the huge sound made from the creature as it landed behind her.

"Gle... Glenn." She stuttered but heard nothing, then she turned slowly, even though her body rebelled against her urging her to keep running and there it was behind her but in front of her friend. "Glenn! She screamed hoping the beast would divert it's attention, then she searched for a wood nearby but what she found was a hopeless stick which she threw at the beast but it wasn't triggered to look back. Glenn on the other hand stood still like he had been compelled to. The creature walked towards him slowly making heavy sounds from every foot stamped to the ground.

"Summer, run please." Glenn managed to say as he was almost out of breath while his heart pumped so fast. She stood there unable to leave him, it was too much for her to bear, all the loses in one night. "Go summer please and help the others, Glenn said as tears dropped from his eyes and there she had another reason to keep going, to alert the others but still it was a difficult decision for her.

"I don't want to go...." She wept bitterly, then suddenly the beast turned to her and began advancing towards her.

"Let her go, you bastard! Glenn commanded rage filled, hemay not be strong hearted but he wasn't going to loose his friend. He kept yelling untill he drew it's attention back to him. "Summer hurry! She jolted on her feet and kept running in tears making up her mind not to look back whatever may have happened, yet she stopped hearing the horror in Glenn's screams. He had sacrificed himself for her and she wasn't going to let the others die so she pulled herself together and raced even faster before it got to her.

Her eyes brightened up in hope as she sighted the fire they had made for the night. It felt weird as she got closer, it was awfully quiet and soon she got to know why.

Her lips were muted as she beheld the terrible sight before her, she had given up in body and soul, they were all dead, the creature had gotten to them before her and at this point there was no point in running, it was clear that it was teasing and could get to her no matter how far she was from him.

"Summer." A female voice called weakly behind her, she breathed shakily gradually turning towards the direction of the voice.

"Bailey... ?" She resigned to her fate as she saw Bailey covered in her own blood, then her eyes followed her as her body dropped to the ground but it wasn't over yet. A growling sound in the woods, the footsteps that got closer, she stared dead into the dark and there she saw him, those red eyes glaring horror at her.
