Author's Note: This is one of my more original stories that I wrote a long time ago. It does have many similarites with Hostel though so any way please read and enjoy!
Chapter 1-September 11, 1996
It was a cool September night. Many people were shopping in grocery stores or in their car at Lover Lane. Oh, but not this family. This family was different. They were the Volgels. They had a muscular Dad, a size one mother with deep dark blue eyes and blonde hair. Then that family had 3 children two guys and one girl. The Girl's name was Kelly Volgel. She looked exactly like her mother almost to the tee. Then they had two guys. They were Jimmy and Dan. Jimmy was a very fat ugly kid and he got his looks from his dad. Dan was a blonde haired blue eye man. The kids were all around the same age. This night had a very strange feeling in the air. It felt like something evil was in the at the dinner table.
"Why are you doing this?" said Kate Lynn
"I am doing this for your own good. I saw you with that guy!" Rich hollered!
"I wasn't even sitting next to him!" Kate Lynn replied.
"You picked up his wallet! I have told you a billion times or more that if you see someone drop their wallet or purse you steal and take the money from it. We are growing poor! Do you want to live with Fred in the grave!" He screamed
"I am sorry," She said sobbing.
"You will be now!" He yelled
"No please no!" She was screaming at the top of her lungs by now!
Rich grabbed a belt with hooks on it from the old closet next to his seat at the kitchen table.
"This will teach you a lesson!" He grinned
He drew his arm back and unleashed its fury upon the lady. She screamed as the hooks dug into her skin. He did this several times with more and more blood and skin on the hooks. He stopped after she was covered in blood.
"Have you learned your lesson yet?" He asked politely like nothing ever happened.
"What you do is not right. You should work for your living! You don't even care about the children or me do you. All you care about is your stupid meaningless life!
"Shut up!" He screamed.
He kept hitting her but her life kept going for some reason like she wouldn't give up. It seemed like she had to say something.
Suddenly the door opened and the kids came in and saw the blood and everything over the floor. With one last hit to their mom. She got up somehow. She was limping.
"Your life is meaningless!" She screamed right in front of the children.
"Well…"He stopped
Kate Lynn had thrown a knife at him. It cut in right where his heart was. She fell to the floor and died that same minute. The kids worried and were never taught to dial 911. They all stood there looking at each other wandering what to do. Was this the fate that they had to face for the rest of their lives? They have seen their dad kill their mom and their mom kill their dad. This was it.
They decided to walk into town. They walked down the trail. It was getting close to dusk. But they kept walking. They got into town after a mile hike of crying, blurry vision, and no shoes. Someone found them and took them in an orphanage. Then there they were given more cloths to put on. They were asked a few questions and they had told them everything that happened. They sent cops out there and picked up the remains of the parents. They all missed them. It felt as if the world was coming to an end. Maybe it was to them. It felt as if they were the ones that died that day. But they weren't.
The orphanage wasn't very clean at all. They had rats run around the floor. Part of the ceiling was falling and worst of all no kids were ever there because everybody hated the town that they lived in and it was a town that would soon belong to the woods. They knew that no one would adopt them overall. They looked like trash. They might even adopt a real rat before them. The saying they learned was stick up for what you believe in. This saying had no meaning before today. They saw their mom stick up for herself. She failed but they have seen cases of where the people sticking up for themselves do win. Seldom though it felt like.
Way back in 1st grade before they dropped out. Dan was being called ugly by one of the other kids. He argued with him.
"You are so ugly that your mom hits you when she sees you." Said the student
"Stop it." He said
The kids started throwing rocks at him now and continued to make fun of him. Stop it he would keep saying. He eventually grew tired of it. He got up pulled back his arm and punched the other kid right in the nose with all his might. Blood started to come out and the other kids all yelled at him. They ran away in terror of what Dan might do to them. The teacher found out and that was the end of that. The meaning of that is that he stood up for himself and won. The kids never made fun of him ever again.
Now at the orphanage he felt as if he could kill someone. The kids were only 10 and 11 and the girl is 7. They felt alone. They needed love but who was there to love them no one beside God. He took care of them for a while until well the orphanage burnt down a few years later. They moved back to their log cabin. It was still there. The woods were fast approaching into the town. They worked for a few years. They ate deer and any wildlife they found. They finally got a hold on everything. They wanted something to do. They thought hey I am tired of hunting animals lets go for something more challenging. Every so often they a few people would wonder in the woods and now the woods were finally taken over everything but the main road in and out of town. The people would sometimes get lost and they would hunt them for fun. They found hunting humans more fun. They were around their earlier double digits and they already became known as The Woodsmen!
