They knew they were in trouble as they saw Josh lunge towards them, they scrambled quickly, a few trips here and there, the door was locked, panic had risen.

Chris had tried to lure Josh away from Matt and Mike, it worked, now he had to try and not die, easier said than done, he couldn't run quick enough, Josh caught him, his teeth sank into his neck, his claws wrapped around his arm, then the pain went away, he looked up, Matt had hit Josh.

Now he was on Josh's 'to kill' list.

Josh hissed at Matt, he was angry at him, he was supposed to be nice, why did he hurt him, it doesn't matter, he will die soon he tells himself.

Matt is frozen in fear as he see's Josh bare his teeth at him, he's standing on his two legs, his normal legs, should he just accept death?.

He jumps towards Matt, he drags him down, his hands ready to rip his throat out, he hesitates, he tilts his head, he sees the fear in his eyes, is he doing something wrong, this isn't wrong is it?.

He was angry at them for a reason but he didn't know what that reason was, it was a blurry image, it was a blurry memory, he knows he's seen them before but where?.

That is a question that has been bugging him.

He grumbles and gets off of Matt, he crawls towards the furthest corner of the room, he climbs the wall, he stays in the shadows, they told him to stay, they want to speak to him, they want to play.

Matt breathes slowly, he sits up, he rushes towards Chris, he helps him up, he's bleeding badly, Mike helps also, steadying the other side of Chris, the door opens and they go get help, leaving Josh alone, now he can play with the shadows.

He leaps from the wall, he looks around him, the air feels stuffy, theres a strong smell of food, its on the other side of the door, he rolls his head back and forth, trying to answer the question on why was he angry at the men.

He could taste Chris's blood, he likes it, he feels better when he eats meat, it only has to be human, the shadows and voices told him that or else he won't be strong.

He's a greedy hungry beast, he loves it, he needs more food, he wants to be stronger but something inside him says no, it says he should be normal, go back to your friends, go back to living.

He shakes it off, he feels like he has a devil and an angel inside him fighting over his soul, the devil inside him tells him to kill and forget everything, the angel tells him to remember and live, he argues with himself.

He needs to grow, he needs to feel everything leave his body, he wants to be free, the memories need to be gone, the voices have to go, his heart has stopped beating, he feels nothing.

Then again he likes the sound of being happy, being alive, he could see the world like he used to see it, he could feel the wind against his skin, the grass beneath his feet, he could feel human again.

The sound of the door opening drags him from his decision, he sees Chris, Matt and Mike enter, he stands ready just incase they try to run again, his eyes pick up more movement from behind him, they move quick, he wants to get out, he feels like he's being dragged down in this room.

He watches as the men in front of him walk slowly towards him, he can see the gun that Mike is holding, he growls at them taking a step backwards, Chris goes to his right side grabbing his arm, while Matt does the same only to his left, Mike walks forwards and holds the gun towards him, its a tranquilizer gun, he hisses at him and tries to break free.

Finally he does.

He gets on all fours and dashes towards the door, he could hear the men behind him shouting, who cares he's free, he jumps wall to wall as he crawls through Mike's house, he sees movement in the kitchen, thats where the food is.

As he approaches the kitchen, he hears screaming as he looks at the screaming female, he jumps towards her, his hand wraps around her throat as he picks her up, he flicks his wrist and soon the movement stops, shes dead.

He throws the body away, he goes to kill the others but the sound of a gunshot draws him away from the kitchen and upstairs, he's hiding, he sneaks under the bed.

The sound of crying makes him happy, he's done something right, he hears someone trying to lure him out, he ignores them, he hears footsteps enter his room, they get closer to the bed, he waits for someone to come near the bed, he grabs their ankle and pulls them under, the scream that erupted from their mouth made him smile.

It was Matt.

He's angry at Matt, he hurt him, that wasn't supposed to happen, he felt an odd sense of trust in Matt but he broke it when he hurt him.

He grabs the sides of Matt's head and started to crush him but before he can kill him he's dragged out from under the bed, he growls at the loss of food and crawls out from under the bed, he's greeted by Mike with the tranquilizer gun, he quickly doges it and runs out the room, he can hear Mike cuss and chase him.

He runs quickly, looking for blind spots in the house, he finds the fuse box and smashes it leaving them in the darkness, the movement that he had seen has stopped, all he can see is red, he gives an annoyed hiss and drops to the floor, he was getting hungry.

Everything was silent and it was haunting him, he remembers the sounds of the mines, the sounds of his sister, the sounds the shadows make, somewhere inside him his fears came back.

He took small steps going through the darkened house awaiting something or someone to attack him, he gave small hisses here and there as if he was giving a warning.

He can here movement but he can't see it, this annoys him, he crawls faster now, he needs out of this house, he wanted to go back home to the mines and join his 'family'.

The four lonely walls of the room he turned was his home, a home that he misses, he misses playing with the creatures in the mines, especially one of them.

The house suddenly went dark, they all stopped in place, they knew that Josh was using this to his ability, one small move and their dead


Mike slowly walked up the hall, pointing his gun left and right, he could hear the hissing from further down the hall, he took some deep breathes and walked further ignoring the small shouting whispers from Matt.

Downstairs in the kitchen Chris was getting his wounds fixed up when the house went dark, he knows its Josh, he brings his finger to his lips to silence the girls in the kitchen, he slowly makes his way out of the kitchen and upstairs, the stairs making tiny creaking noise that makes Chris curse inwardly to himself.

He makes it up without being attacked by Josh again, he looked around hoping to see Matt or Mike but all he could see was the darkness in the hall, he swallowed deeply and began walking, his heart beating rapidly in his chest as he could hear Josh's hissing from left, right and center, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't shitting himself.

"Chris?!"Matt whispered and slowly pulled him into the room.

"What?" Chris spoke a little louder as he shut the door behind him, he could still hear Josh hissing away outside and the soft cusses that Mile was whispering.

"Lets just leave Mike to this! He has a good aim and once Josh is under control we can help fix him up a bit!" Matt's voice was quivering a small tad as he leaned against the door, his heart racing as he hear scattering footsteps run past the door.

Chris held his breath and slowly walked towards the door, he pushed Matt to the side and opened the door, taking out his phone, turning on his flashlight he walked out into the hall ignoring Matt's commands to get back inside the room.

Chris carefully walked up the hall looking everywhere hoping to see Josh, Mike's house was quite large which made it worse as the hallways all connect to each other so Josh could attack from any angle.

He stopped when he heard something behind him, he closed his eyes when it got closer he breathed in relief when he heard Mike.

"You scared?" Mike chuckled lowly.

"You're not?"Chris rolled his eyes and continued walking forward with Mike by his side.

"Can't fucking believe this.."Mike breathed out as he looked around for Josh, they haven't heard any hissing or scattering.

"I never wanted him to turn into one of them Mike.." Chris stopped walking and looked to the ground, tears fighting to escape his eyes, he wiped his eyes as Mike pulled him into a short hug.

"I'm sorry.." Mike leaned his head against Chris shoulder, they stayed there for a small bit before they heard something being dragged across the floor and soon the sound of flesh being ripped.

They turned around to the noise and Chris shun his flashlight towards the sound and both men gasped at the sight of their friend eating away at the female he killed today, the sicking sound of her intestines being ripped out, her flesh being skinned and her head being popped off.

"STOP!" Chris screamed out and ran towards Josh and kicked away the body ignoring Josh's angry hissing, Mike ran forward and held Josh back as he tried to claw Chris's throat.

Mike managed to use one of the tranquilizer dart and plunged it into Josh's neck soon his hissing and shrieking stopped and he flopped into Mike's arm.

Chris's breathing had started to speed up as he looked at Josh, he managed to get a closer at his friend, he looked worse close up.

Mike held Josh steadily before picking him up and throwing him over his shoulder heading towards the room Matt was still in.

Chris headed downstairs to call a electrician to fix the lights while Mike cleans up Josh and Matt cleans the body in the hallway.

Mike places Josh down near the radiator pipe he uses a old t-shirt to wrap Josh's wrist,it wont hold him when he wakes up but it'll do.

"Fuck..i'm so sorry Josh.." Mike whispers to himself as he leaves the room to get the first aid kit in his bathroom and head downstairs for some water if Josh wakes up.

Chris headed back upstairs to help Matt clean up, he still had to use his flashlight to see it was clear that Matt wasn't happy with the job he had to do but he did it anyway.

"How you doing Matt?" Chris asked as he leaned the flashlight against the wall and picked up the mop lying on the floor, he started to wipe away the blood next to the body that was still to be removed.

"Honestly man i don't know.." Matt sighed at started to pick up the girls remains and chucked them inside a bucket.

Chris nodded slowly his mind was slowly catching up with what was actually happening, his friend was a wendigo and showed no intentions on becoming human.

Matt noticed the emotion on Chris's face and a part of him felt sorrow for him, he couldn't help but fee like part of this was his fault as he was in the mines with Jessica yet didn't come across Josh.

"Been a long day.." Matt whispered to himself, he sat on the ground and closed his eyes trying to ignore the pain in his head when Josh was trying to crush it.

"Tell me about it" Chris sat across from Matt, his body began to ache in pain as he thought about Josh killing him, he never expected his friend to attack him, he could remember when Josh used his voice to speak but then suddenly attacked them all, one minute he seemed human the next he was pure wendigo.

They heard the door next to them being opened and footsteps coming down the hall towards them.

"I cleaned him up as best as i could Chris" Mike leaned against the wall, his eyes closing in regret as he ran his hands over his face, he felt his body slowly grow weaker as he thought of Josh, he could easily remember the prank that Josh had done to them but he didn't expect him to turn into a wendigo just like his sister.

Chris stood up wiping the dust from his jeans and headed towards the room Josh was tied up in, Matt followed behind him, Mike stayed behind he was cleaning the rest of the mess Josh made.

When they entered the room there was an eerie atmosphere around them as they looked at Josh, Matt walked forward first and kneeled down getting a closer look at him, regret slowly filled him as he turned away from him.

Chris stared from afar before manning up and walking over, he tilted Josh's head up it was clear to see that the cuts on his face had started to infected, his teeth had small bits of flesh and blood around them, his gums red and puffy, it wasn't a nice sight to see and it made it worse as it was his best friend he was looking at.

"Josh.. I'm so fucking sorry bro.."
