Chapter 3: Killer Funeral
This was the second funeral this month I was attending for a friend. Ashley was at the podium giving a speech this time.
She had just finished when we heard banging outside. Suddenly the doors open and Ticci Toby walks in holding both of his axes. He ignores the stares of the crowd some run from the room, some pull out their phones and recorded. Toby walked over to the casket which was able to remain open, unlike Mike's, and his stabbed his axe into Allison's body. Allison's dad stood and crossed the room and grabbed Toby as he find slicing, what could only be his symbol, into her. Her Dad grabbed him and punched him over and over again until his fist turned bloody from Toby.
"Some big shot you are." Toby lifted his head, blood running down his face and grabbed him by the throat. He struggled in the grip and you could hear it as Toby slowly tightened his grip and crushed his windpipe. Toby dropped the lifeless body to the floor. Toby tilted his head again and then moved in on the crowd. The funeral parlor became chaos as people ran for the exit as Toby started slicing and hacking at people, dropping them. I grabbed Janie and ran outside the funeral home where police cars were pulling up. The police rushed in and you could hear the gunfire as the cops shot Toby. News crews showed up soon after, I could here the new lady as she got the information to tell the town.
"Local serial killer Toby Rogers has been shot today by police after raiding the near empty station. They tracked him to this funeral home behind me where he was shot ten times by two policemen." The started bringing him out of the funeral home and yes was in a body bag. The killer was finally dead. I headed home with Janie still using the buddy system and I fell asleep with her. I heard from Austin, Corey and him were going to celebrate a bit more special then Janie and I felt like doing.
Corey had Austin under him facedown against the bed riding him. Austin was screaming for more and for it harder as Corey rammed him again and again. Austin was getting into it when Corey stopped.
"What's the matter, did you get used up already." He felt Corey pull out and he rolled over as Corey's headless body dropped against him. Austin screamed as a axe sunk into his neck. The last thing he saw before he died was Toby holding Corey's head.
I woke up with a yawn Janie curled up against me. I stretched and turned on the TV there was a new person on and as I listened to her my blood ran cold.
"Two more teenagers found dead and the body of the murderer Toby Roger missing. Two boys, Corey Magnus and Austin Agnes murdered last night in their home. The report match that of the believed dead Toby Rogers. However Rogers was shot dead yesterday by police officers, but his body was missing from the morgue where it was stored yesterday."
He was alive, I didn't know how but I knew he was alive. Janie woke up and saw my face then looked at the TV which had the headline: 'Murderers missing body'
"No, no way he was shot ten times yesterday, by two cops" Janie said in disbelief.
I quickly got up, "That's it I'm getting everyone. We have to hunt this fucker down." I said. I called everyone on a group chat again. Everyone answered and started freaking out, "Calm down. This son of a bitch is still alive… we need to find him. Of we found out where he goes to hide we could end this. I think he hides near the camp grounds. That's where I first saw him and where we ran into him. It's the only place the cop couldn't be able to search every inch of as well."
"So you want us to go into the woods and hunt down a serial killer?" Paige questioned, "I'm sorry, but don't horror movie and game tell you that's the wrong thing to do."
"But we have something they don't. Shawn how long would it take to secure some weapons for us?"
"I need a couple days to secure the items. I should have them by Friday."
"Perfect, everyone group at my house until then, no one leaves the group until we get what we need to fight him."
Everyone quickly made was to my house. Shawn was on the phone when he showed up, "Yeah I can pay you when you show up with the guns and they'll be cheap right. Perfect." He hung up.
"That was my guy, he said he could get them by Friday, but I have to pay him the day he delivers them since it's firearms. It'll be about a few hundred bucks he said. He transports and buys cheap. I have enough stored over the years I can buy them for us… looks is my rainy day.
The next few days went by with us all on edge. We were expecting Toby to knock down the door any second, Toby was quiet though, very quiet, he wasn't even murdering people outside our group. Eventually Friday came around and Shawn got a call. He told us he was meeting the guy at the campgrounds. We piled into the RV and headed that way.
We pulled into the campground and there was old guy with a Jeep sitting on a box. We piled out and Shawn walked in front and pulled out a wad of money.
"It's all there count it if you want." The guy took the money and started counting it as Shawn removed the box's lid. Inside we're a bunch of handguns, but I saw the shotgun I picked it up and the guy spoke up.
"Threw that in for you with a discount. A twelve gauge, pump action. It'll blow away whatever your shootin' at."
"Thanks we're going to need it." I reply he finishes counting his money and then leaves in his Jeep. I place the shotgun back and go to the RV and grab a hose and gas can I packed. I opened the gas cap and slid the hose inside.
"What are you doing?" Paige asked.
"Siphoning the gas from the RV so after we kill Toby we can burn his body and make sure he's dead." I said before I starting sucking on the hose. I tasted gas in my mouth and put the hose's other end in the gas can. After I filled it up I took the hose out and threw it back in the RV. I grabbed the shotgun and lead the way into the woods. I went in the direction I saw him the first time. Deep in the woods it was hard to get through as the trees, brush, and even grass had grown to the point it was near impossible to get into. The eight of us searched the woods till nightfall. We decided to head back, but we realized we had no idea which way was the way out.
"If we just head in one direction we'll eventually find a way out." Paige said. So we headed in a random direction and kept straight. However we didn't find a way out we just traveled farther into woods as it got darker. We kept going though. Eventually we saw what we thought to be a house. We headed for it and saw it was a old shack. We decided to stay in it for the night and continue searching in the morning. I found the door and pulled it open. Inside was a small room and stair leading downstairs a true far wall. We headed down the stairs into a dark room I searched for a light switch as I looked my hand got coated in something. I look for anything now. I felt something soft against my hand. I back up and hit something it was the chain to a light. I pulled it and illuminated the horrific scene in front of me. Blood was everywhere, what I brushed against was a person's head.
"Let get out of here." I turned to go upstairs. Standing in the doorway axes out was Toby. I backed up completely forgetting my gun over my shoulder. He walked forward and Shawn stepped forward and unloaded his clip into him. Toby fell with a thud. Shawn grabbed the gas can from me. He started pouring the gas in Toby. I grabbed my lighter and handed it to him. Suddenly Toby jumped up and swung at Shawn. He jumped back and instead Toby hit Jacob taking his head off. Shawn changed his clip and unloaded into Toby again as I threw my lighter at him. Toby was caught on fire and dropped again. We all went around his body while Vera grabbed the gas. She started pass the body when she was grabbed by the ankle she dropped the gas and it rolled over by more gas cans and who knows what else. She grabbed Shawn's gun and told us to go as she looked at Jacob's body. We ran outside and from the house I finally had my shotgun out and aimed at the house.
Vera had tears in her eyes. This bastard had cost her friends and now her boyfriend. She looked at the gun in her hand and at the gas containers, aiming her gun she looked at the burning Toby.
"See you in hell bitch." she pulled the trigger and the gas containers exploded a second later.
The house suddenly went up in flames and exploded burning pieces of house went everywhere. We saw something streak towards us and it landed a few feet away. We started towards it as rain started to pour in. The rain put the fire out as we said the charred remains of one of Toby's axes.
