This Chapter is going to be quiet intense, possibly more than my others. That's what I like about stories, the ones that make you sit at the edge of your seat. This story was inspired by Cryotic, a youtuber who plays games, reads, and other stuff. Mostly games though. This story was inspired by cry reads, IT HURTS A BIT! Also 'The Thing' by XxSkullCandyxX, BTW CHECK IT OUT! It's a good story!

I hope you like this story more than my others... Welcome... to chapter 1.

CHAPTER 1: The beginning
AND AS ALWAYS ENJOY!

It hurts... Everywhere. I hear beeps beside me, like the sound of a heart monitor. I feel the warmth of someone holding my hand, maybe it's Chris, i'm not positive though. I want to open my eyes but I can't, it's like they're stuck with glue. I hear everything, people shuffling in the hallways, the doctor talking, and the pen writing on the blank piece of paper. I also want to speak but I can't, something is lodged in my throat, it's helping me breathe. My mental self is functional but my physical state is paralyzed. What happened to me? I don't remember exactly what happened but fractions of it come back in my dreams. Most of it's a blur, I'll try to explain how I got here the best I can.

It's still painful to even remember the beginning, Me and Chris got done with a mission. We didn't exactly wanted it to come out the way it did but faith chose differently. It was over, Zach was finally... killed. Eva didn't mean to cause harm by losing control over the wrong person, may sound wrong, but it was for the best. It was either him or Chris. I couldn't let my brother die so I think Eva made the right choice. I feel as guilty as her, but it's done, over with. I didn't really care about it much except when we went to go check on him, those last words, they still give me goose bumps till this day. "I will avenged my death with my demons" he said with his last remaining breaths. I didn't take it as seriously as I should of, I didn't think those kinds of stuff were real, and I was wrong, because on that day when we returned back to the Tortuga I didn't realize something was watching us. I knew something felt different but I thought it was the guilt talking. The next morning after we woke up everything seemed normal, me and my brother woke up at the same time. He told me about how he felt something watch us last night, then he said something crazy.

"Do you think what Zach said was true?"

"What?" I said curiously

"That... He really sent his demons after us?... You know what never mind that sounds crazy." Chris shook his head and was ready to head out the door

"Chris, I think... It's probably nothing... Just our minds imagining something crazy, that's all."

"Yeah, hey Martin. You ready to go train Eva for a new creature adventure?" said Chris changing the subject

"Yeah! I'll meet you-" I was interrupted by a scream

Me and my brother ran out of our room into the main control room and asked Aviva what all the commotion was about, but before I could ask... It was too obvious. In red, slaughtered all over the main computer screen, read a message. 'Who's next?' Everything was confusing and I didn't know what to do but start with the most common question.

"Aviva what happened?" Me and my bro Chris stared at Aviva for an answer

"I-I don't know, I went out here to get some work done and ... Saw this... I analyzed the red substance... A-A-And I-I-it was..." Aviva stopped talking for a moment

"Aviva, it's okay." Chris said hugging her

She lifted her head up and said "Blood, it was blood." I couldn't believe what I was hearing... Blood? How could that be, I mean how...

"Aviva! Who's blood is it?" I said nervously

"I-I don't know? I was too caught up in the moment to worry about that... Martin, Chris sound the alarm!" Aviva had a worried tone to her voice that made me and my brother a little freaked out. Chris pressed the emergency red button and whole room turned red, huge alarm sounds came from the speakers in the ceiling. Left and right came the crew.

"Whats going on?" said Koki in a panic tone

"Is it already time to wake up?" said Jimmy rubbing his eyes from just waking up

"Someone came into the Tortuga and did that." Aviva pointed to the writing on the main computer screen

"And we are trying to catch the crook who did this" added Chris

"I-I-Is that b-b-b-b-blooood?!" Jimmy said shaking in fear

"Yes, and we need to find out who's it is" I replied

"Well if Chris, Aviva, Koki, Jimmy are here and it's not theirs, and it's' definitely not mine... Who's is it?"

There was a minute of thinking and then we all shouted "EVA!" We ran to her room and it was stuck. We have automatic doors, so when we would approach them they automatically open, but these didn't. They were stuck shut. We all banged on the door shouting for her to open it... But there was no answer. I tried to pry it open with my hands but it didn't budge. 'What's happening on the other side? It's like something's holding it shut' I thought.

"COME ON WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER! PULL!" I had adrenaline and rush and we all pulled as hard as we could, that's when we did it. It was finally open, we managed to get the door open, but what was seen could not be unseen. I saw a tall black shadowy figure drape above Eva's body, before our every own eyes it disappeared leaving behind a sharp dagger on the floor, right beside her. I ran over to her and picked her head up. Chris and Aviva went to go scope out the area for anymore intruders, Jimmy sat in the corner of the room rocking back and forth, and Koki kneeled with me trying to stop the bleeding from the wound that was on her stomach. I began to sooth her by stroking my hand through her hair telling her everything was going to be alright.

"Eva, everything's going to be aright, your going to be fine. Your not going to die!" I remember having a tear come from my eye

Eva opened her eyes and said "M-Martin... *cough cough* I-If I don't make it..."

I didn't like the words she said. It made me lose hope on her "shhhhhh..." I put my finger on her lips "Your not going to die! Not on my watch. W-Who did this to you!"

"... Z-Zach... He did this to me... His demons did this" I couldn't believe what she was saying, Chris was right. "M-Martin...T-Tell Chris I said...Bye.."She started coughing up blood and we were losing her quick. Her heart beat was fading and I tried my best to keep her going... and that was it, she was gone.

"What?! No EVA! Your not going to die! Come on come on!" Tears were rushing down my face, I wouldn't accept the fact she was dead, I couldn't. I gently laid her head down and started doing compresses. It wasn't working... I started to shout "EVA! Come on, you need to wake up!"

"Martin... MARTIN!...Stop... She's gone." Koki held me back but I refused and continued to do compresses to bring her back to life. She held me back again but this time Jimmy helped. I fell backwards lying on the ground crying in sadness because a good friend had died.

We may have lost Eva but what killed her is still here, I can feel it's presents.

To be continued!

Oh snap! This just got intense. I hope you love this chapter, if you are heart broken already it's going to get worst. HAHA just a warning.
