Mike watched in horror as the vicious monster rised from the water, grabbing Josh by the neck, lifting him into the air.
"NO YOU'RE NOT REAL! YOU'RE NOT REAL!" Josh began to scream as the wendigo kept its grip on him, trying to keep the scary thoughts out of his head, imagining that this monster who had hold of his was not real and that it was all in his head.
Mike's heart began to pound as he had short time to think of what to do. Should I leave him? He thought to himself. He placed his hand on his pocket remembering he hand a gun that only had about one or two bullets left. "Will it work? I mean it won't kill it but it will push us back a little buying me time to grab Josh and run won't it?" He thought to himself.
His heart began to pound and he could feel the blood pumping through his veins as he raised the gun, pointing it at the wendigo. He braced himself as he pulled the trigger. The wendigo fell back, dropping Josh into the water. "FUCKING RUN!" Shouted Mike and the Wendigo gripped onto the wall, watching them as if it was giving its pray a head start.
As Josh hurried along catching up to Mike in the water, Mike harshly grabbed Josh as they got closer to the edge. Mike grabbed Josh, throwing him onto the ledge causing him to cry out in pain as he heard the screech of the Wendigo. He turned around shooting the gun again releasing its final bullet before pulling Josh up and they began to run, keeping hold of Josh's arm.
They ran through the mines searching for an exit as Mike began to panic. Josh was still kind of in his own little world, oblivious to the situation. Mike turned into a corner as he heard the screeching get louder and louder as it chased behind them climbing on the walls. As they turned into a corner Mike grabbed onto Josh, placing his hand over his mouth.
"Don' . you move. .dead" he whispered slowly into Josh's ear. Josh slowly nodded his head as he began to bring himself out of his own mind, following Mike's orders. They both kept still and quiet, Mike kept his hand over Josh's mouth as he could hear the creature on the walls trying to find their movement. Mike's palms began to sweat, his pulse began to rise.
He looked in the corner of his eyes to see it turn back to where they started at in the mines as it lost track of them. Mike let out a sigh of relief, letting go of Josh as they moved away from the corner and continued on.
Mike felt relief as they came across what seemed to look like an exit out of the mines. Mike kept hold of Josh's arm as they continued to run out of the mines and into the woods, they continued to run as he searched for the lodge.
As they got closer to the Lodge Sam was at the door screaming and rattling the door. "HEY GUYS LET ME IN!" She began to scream as she shook violently on the walked behind her and Josh following behind as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Fuck! Mike you scared the crap out of me" she signed in relief.
She looked at both him and Josh "you both made it?" She asked in relief."Yeah just about" Mike muttered in response. "Hey you ok Josh?" She asked with concern turning to look at him. "I-I-this isn't real this can't be real" he muttered to himself, placing his hands on his head as he began to shake his head to try and get the evil thoughts out. None of this was real it can't be real!
"We need to get him inside, if he starts shouting he's going to attract attention from the Wendigos" said Mike. Sam nodded her head in agreement before walking over to the door. Using her elbow she pointed it, smashing the window so she could reach her hand in and unlock the door. She sighed in relief as the door opened from the other side as the three walked in.
Sam went to turn the light off which caused Mike to quickly turn it back off "not the best idea" he said. "We should head down to the basement, the others might be down there" suggested Mike. Sam nodded her head in agreement as they followed Mike with Josh shuffling behind. Sam did feel sorry for him, he wasn't in the right metal state to be doing any of this but at the same time she kind of felt anger towards him. It was his idea to invite everyone back to the house and it was his idea to do this fucking prank that ended Jessica's life as Mike says.
"How do you rate our chances of survival?" Asked Sam."I'm trying not to think about it" next minute Chris came running through the door "RUN!" He shouted. Emily and Ash followed behind along with Emily pushing Ash into the wall. Mike and Josh started to run with everyone else as Sam quickly shut the door. "Oh Shit!" She shouted as she shut the door running to catch up with everyone else.
Sam ran up the stairs to everyone else. As she finally caught up she froze. Everyone kept still and silent as multiple Wendigos hung on the ceiling. "Don't...move...don't fucking move a muscle" whispered Mike as everyone's life was on the line. Everyone froze, trying to keep as still as possible.
The Wendigos began to rip and tear each other apart, knocking a pipe out the fire place in the process. Mike began to look around and noticed a bulb and the light switch. If he could break the bulb and get everyone out in time the place should blow up along with the Wendigos. Sam turned to look at Mike as if she read his mind and what he planned, slowly she nodded her head agreeing with his plan. Everyone kept still as possible as Mike slowly made his way to the bulb.
Chris was the first one to leave the lodge. Mike enveloped his hand around the bulb bracing himself to try and break it without it stabbing into his hand and making noise. The bulb finally broke in his hand but it attached sound from the Wendigo. Oh shit he thought to himself as it walked closer and closer to him. "HEY!" Called Sam causing it to turn away from him towards her.
Emily was the next one out with Ash following behind. Leaving only Mike, Sam and Josh left. Mike turned to look at Josh who was still frozen in terror. Slowly he started making his way towards Josh.
As he reached Josh he grabbed onto his arm "slowly we need to walk out" he told him. Josh shook his head "I can't, I can't" he whispered sounding on the verge to tears. "Yes you can, it's ok I've got you" he reassured him as they slowly began to step towards the door. As they made it to the door they quickly rushed out leaving Sam alone.
In panic Sam began to run, not looking back at the Wendigos behind her as she ran towards the switch. She could sense them both behind her trying to claw at her. She lifted her hand up to the switch and tried to run as fast as she could out the door. Sam was thrown into the snow by the force of the explosion.
She quickly got up rushing towards the group who where hurdled together as the building was now in flames. Sam and Mike began to laugh in relief as a helicopter flew over them, slowly landing onto the ground. They made it! They survived the night.
