2 MONTH LATER
Ashley was in her apartment staring at her computer screen. She glanced at the word count. 21 words. Ashley groaned. Writer's block is the worst. Before the accident on Blackwood mountain, Ashley would write everyday. She would normally write fantasy or romance books but never finished writing them. A new idea would pop in her mind and she would abandon the last project. The Doctors had said that they should do what they normally did in order to ease into society again. So Matt carried on playing Football, Ashley continued writing and Sam took a job at a dog shelter. When Ashley and Sam met up for Coffee, Sam's eyes lit up whenever discussing her job, she loved it. Jessica was still in hospital, her condition had worsened apparently according to Mike who visited her everyday. Ashley hadn't seen much of Mike. It was tough for Mike at the moment. Sam had told Ashley that Emily was planning to sue Mike for attempted murder and her father had poured thousands into the case against Mike. There was no court date yet but Sam had told Ashley that Mike had broken down in tears last week. Ashley was never particularly close to Mike but it still hurt her to know he was so upset. Ashley didn't know what Emily was doing and she didn't want to know. No one was speaking to Emily. Matt had dumped her finally and Chris had told Ashley that Emily had been sending texts to him asking him to tell the others that she's sorry. Chris wasn't going to do that though. He had began to grow a fierce hatred of Emily from the second she slapped Ashley and the fight the two had at the hospital had not made things any better.
Ashley was visiting Chris nearly everyday. They went on dates, typical girlfriend and boyfriend stuff and Ashley loved it. There was no news on Josh though. It's presumed that Hannah killed him but there's the question of why Hannah didn't kill Josh. Did she recognise him? Ashley didn't want to think about it. She heard that the rangers are planning to investigate the mines in a few weeks. Ashley shivered at the thought of the mines. Ashley looked at her computer screen. Ashley had read online that going for a jog stopped writer's block. So Ashley closed her computer and went for a run. Ashley entered Moore park and looked at her phone. A message from Emily. Ashley paused and considered opening the message. She shook her head. She didn't want to know what that bitch had to say. Ashley started jogging. It was a cold day and Ashley wished she had put something warmer on. As she jogged she stopped dead. On a bench was that man who visited her at the hospital. The Omega Corp man. Was he following her? Why her?
Ashley panicked and backed away. She caught the man look at her and smirk before looking at her phone. He pulled out a handgun. Ashley's mind began to race. Was he going to kill her? Ashley wanted to cry. The man stood up and looked at her. He began calmly walking over to her, gun in hand. Ashley gasped and began running. The man raced after her. Ashley ran down the park path pushing people out of the way, trying to get some distance between her and the man. She went off the path and into the the trees. It was foggy and Ashley found it hard to see what was in front of her.
"Ashley!" shouted the man
Ashley looked around for him. The fog was obscuring her vision.
"Where are you?!" shouted the man, annoyance apparent in his voice.
Ashley could make out the outline of the man. He was getting closer.
"The corporation has told me that it's in their best interest that you be eliminated."
Ashley tried to get a hold of herself. Why her? What did she do? Ashley grabbed a rock threw it into a bush, east of her position. The bush rustled and the man laughed.
"Found you!" he sneered.
The man approached the bush and suddenly cursed.
"Where are you!" he screamed.
He began shooting widely. A bullet whizzed past Ashley causing her to scream loudly. The man chuckled.
"Oh Ashley, poor little Ashley" said the man.
Ashley spotted a fallen log and managed to squeeze into it. It was rotting and full of moss. Centipedes began crawling all over her. Ashley had to resit the urge to scream.
"You know, we put bets on who would die. We didn't expect any of your friends would live. We thought it came down to luck that all 8 of you escaped. Oh sorry, 7 of you. Do you want to know what happened to Joshua? I'm sure you do. At the moment Josh is sitting in a cage being fed meat. We found him Ashley. He had become one of those creatures."
The man was right in front of the log. Ashley held her hand to her mouth to stop any noise coming out.
"We helped Josh with his prank Ashley. Our own Dr. Hill manipulated the boy into pulling out the prank. It was easy. Josh had problems, Ashley and it was easy to turn him against his friends. He was ours, to do with as we please."
The man turned to the log. A centipede crawled on Ashley's face and was facing her nose. It was going to go in there. Ashley couldn't do it any more. She brushed the centipede off and the man heard the commotion. He pulled her out the log as Ashley screamed.
"Let go of me! Let go!" cried Ashley, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed a rock and slammed into the man's knees. He screamed and Ashley ran. She turned and saw the man racing after her. The man laughed and tackled her into the ground. Ashley tried to crawl away but the man put his boot on her preventing her form moving. He loaded his gun and pointed it at Ashley's head.
"No! Please don't!" shouted Ashley.
"Josh lured you all there for a reunion but there is a reason that you were all sent to the lodge. You and your friends missed something on that mountain that night. It was right under your noises but you never figured it out. There is a secret on Blackwood mountain Ashley. Shame you'll never find out what it is"
Ashley felt the gun press against her head. Ashley cried.
"I don't wanna die! Oh god no!" screamed Ashley
Ashley closed her eyes. A gunshot rang out. Ashley screamed. She opened her eyes. She wasn't dead. She turned and saw the man. He was dead, his brain splattered on the floor. In front of the body was a woman. She was dressed in black and holding a hand gun. Ashley stood up, unsure if she should run or thank the mysterious woman.
"My name is Riley Clark and it is very important that you come with me right now Ashley"
