Chapter Four: The First Kill
Aaji knocked on the door of the cabin after Jason had left, disappearing into the woods, which had just begun to mist. "Hey... Adele, you coming to the evening campfire tonight?" He asked, his voice shaky. Adele yawned and walked to the door opening it, scratching her green haired scalp, her eyes half opened.
"There's another campfire... oh that's right... the opening of a new week... do we get any more campers?" She asked, stretching. Aaji nodded, shuffling his feet a nervous glint in his eye as he rubbed his left arm, swallowing.
"Yeah... tomorrow morning, I made sure you weren't on the Welcoming Committee," he said with a laugh, and she chuckled. "Hey... Um... listen... do I act like a pig? You know, like the other guy counselors..." Adele blinked, and then began to laugh, immediately realizing what he was going at, and she crossed her arms, her shoulder leaning against the door frame.
"Yes... you are a nasty smelling chauvinist pig..." She said, covering her mouth with a snicker. She nearly teared up in laughter at Aaji's widening eyes. "Chill out I'm joking!" She said, and Aaji gave her an amused glare.
"Thanks a lot," he said shaking his head. "Anyway... well... I was just wondering if... well if you wanted to you know... catch a movie or something... tonight..." He said, blushing as he looked away as if she would hit him, and she smiled.
"A-alright... then I guess we can go see that new horror movie or something," she said, shrugging, and Aaji looked relieved.
"Oh thank god, I thought you were going to make me see a chick flick or something," he gasped, clutching his heart with a relieved smile. Adele laughed shaking her head. "I know, I know, its you, but you never know, the ravaging beast outside may be a cuddly rabbit on the inside."
"More like a mangy, irritated, grumpy rabbit," she said with a grin, punching him hard on the shoulder. "Nope, I'm tough, through and through." Adele giggled, before blinking, seeing Raven with a look as if she were suppressing an explosion of dance, laughter and singing, and she sighed. "Oh god, they followed you?" She said, face palming herself as she shook her head. "Great I won't hear the end of it." Raven at that point, had lost it, prancing around the cabin like a dyslexic pony, singing with every skip she did.
"Adele's not a lesbian, Adele's not a lesbian, Adele's not a-" Adele laughed as she watched Raven trip over herself, and she shook her head, covering her mouth.
"Wow... Raven... just wow..." She said, kicking her playfully in the side as she was down, causing a slightly pained 'Uph' and some laughter of pain. She grinned and shook her head, rubbing her temples. "You really are an idiot." She sighed and yawned once more, before scratching the back of her head. "Alright, well I'm going to get ready... so all of you OUT!" She yelled, pushing them out, shaking her head, as she sighed in exhaustion.
"God dammit..." She growled, throwing her sunglasses from the top of her head to her nose, before grabbing a bag, making her way to the lake, yawning softly, before looking out over Crystal Lake, swallowing a moment, setting her bag onto the dock and sat down, leaning back on her hands, closing her eyes as she felt the sun on her face, grinning a bit. It was actually some what relaxing, even with the laughter and splashing of children on the beaches. She looked down, and her eyes widened, as from her feet, blood began to spread through the lake, the blood turning the once blue water to a red gory mess. She gasped, her eyes widening as quickly shot her feet out, grabbing her bag beginning to run, children screaming as they ran out, faces full of horror as their blood soaked clothing and bodies shivered. She ran to them. "Everyone in the first aid tent now!" She yelled, pushing them to the cabin, before looking out to the lake. She looked to her watch, and her heart stopped as she read 'Friday 13' flashing ominously in a florescent green background. She cursed and looked out to the lake, hearing a horrified scream as a man wearing a scratched and stained hockey mask, and soggy rotting clothing came from the lake, his machete tight in his grip. "Oh shit...." She whispered, her eyes widening.
AJ ran out of the cabin, looking to Adele. "Adele what the hell is going on?!" He yelled, not seeming to notice Jason right away, but with a flick of his machete, Jason made himself known as it stabbed straight through AJ's jaw and skull, piking him grotesquely for a moment, before pulling it out, watching the body topple from the cabin porch. Adele's eyes widened as she let out a frightening scream, her eyes widening as she clawed at her... bedpost...?
Her world suddenly drew up in flames, and Freddy Krueger's violent, frightening laughter echoed as she felt him pull her into him, her back against his chest as his bladed glove came to stroke her jawline, nicking it as he hissed vehemently in her ear. "I told you I would make you fear me..." He whispered, his voice a fierce cackle, before pulling her back against the wall, his gloved hand cutting deep into her neck and shoulder. She gasped in pain, her hand flying up to hold the wound, but Freddy batted it away. She struggled violently, her eyes squeezed shut as she let out another fierce scream, shivering, her eyes opened wide, and in his place, Jason was, his eyes blazing with an unknown fury. He rose his machete, and in place of his stuttering, rumbling voice, Freddy's cackle was. "Nighty Night, bitch!" He roared, and the machete sunk deep into her abdomen, her eyes widened.
Adele's screams had woken Raven up, and she looked over groggily, yawning a bit.
"Adele is it another... oh my god! ADELE!" She screamed, getting up the second she saw Adele's white sheets staining with blood. The cuts seemed to appear in thin air, slicing slowly against her neck and shoulder, and then blood exploded on her abdomen as her body began to shake. "ADELE!" Her screams aroused the other counselors, and they ran in, one immediately telling a few to call for an ambulance, while Raven and Aaji tried to shake her awake. Blood poured from her mouth, and finally what ever was holding her in her nightmares let her go. Her eyes snapped open, her mouth filling with blood as she shot up, trying to take a breath. The gaze in her eyes reflected pure terror, and she clawed at Raven's arm, coughing as blood poured down her white counselor's shirt. The ambulance had arrived, and the EMT quickly began to work on her there, doing whatever they could to stop blood loss. Raven was sobbing in a corner, her hands and shirtfront covered in her friend's blood. Aaji was yelling while two police officer's held him, as the stretcher was wheeled out quickly, Adele being hooked up to machines on the way, a medical officer pumping air into her with a mask. Her glassy eyes looked around, as if confused and sluggish, and the doors closed on the ambulance and it drove from the camp, leaving Raven screaming, and Aaji sitting outside, curled up, his hands over his face.
"What happened!?" He finally screamed at Raven. "What the fuck was happening!?!?" She shook her head, sniffing as she let out another wail of shock and fear.
"I don't know, I really don't! She just started screaming in her sleep and cuts started forming all over her throat and shoulders... and then..." She let out another wail, covering her face as she shook, fighting the urge to vomit. Blood stained the cot and wooden floor, and Aaji swallowed. It looked like a murder scene... and could very well be in the next few hours... He whimpered and shook his head violently. No... Adele couldn't die... she was too tough for that...
He finally began to stride to the lake, screaming at it. "You fucking asshole! You mother fucking asshole how could you do that to her!!! She was the only one that didn't make you feel like shit and you fucking did that to her!!!" He threw a rock into the lake, continuing with his screaming as tears poured down his cheek. "You fucking Id---ach!" A soggy leather glove wrapped around his throat as Jason shot out of the water, his eyes blazing as his heavy wet boots slammed into the dock, falling forward as he pinned Aaji to the ground. Campers and counselors alike began to scream, panicking as Jason rose his machete.
"NOT...DID!" He roared, so loudly and so hard that his body actually shook, his eyes roaring with as much anger and rage that his body showed and he picked up Aaji with a roar, throwing him clear off the dock and onto the bank, his strides angry as he rose the machete. Raven finally screamed.
"Stop! STOP!" She yelled, her voice cracking with how loud she had yelled, collapsing into her knees. "Stop it! He didn't do it!" She screamed, but Jason brought down his machete angrily, his eyes blazing violently as blood sprayed his mask, and he continued the onslaught, before rising up from Aaji's now mutilated body, to glare at the other campers, before beginning to slowly walk towards them.
Jason's rage was now unmatched by anything as he rose up from the mutilated body of the man that was screaming at him, and his hand that held his machete actually shook. Freddy had supposedly killed the only one that had ever shown anything other than disgust for him, and he was losing his mind. He would kill all of them. Every single one that thought he was ugly, disgusting... a freak... they would all die.
His lips underneath his mask broke into a wicked grin, and his eyes widened, giving him his oh so famous maniacal psychopathic persona. He whipped his machete through the air and chucked it, watching it whistle and embed in the head of a male counselor that was shielding a woman, pushing her to safety. He charged, pulling the machete out of the boy's head with a squelching pop, before whipping it forward, dispatching the girl with almost no effort at all, blood spraying from the upper half of her body as it cleaved in half. The rusty machete would never have been able to pull off such a feat, if not for the inexorable strength of the man behind its blade. He snarled, whipping back around to slice into another so hard that his body slammed to the ground as if he were pushed. He pulled the machete out, before looking up to the sky, letting out a roar that would make all those who heard it chill to the bone...
The gentle beeps of machinery was muffled by Adele's inability to sense things around her. Her eyes darted, but they were filmed, blurry as if she didn't rub the sleep from her eye. Her breath came in short, labored gasps, and her brain had seemed to slow, numb almost as her entire body did. She heard the soft echoing voices of doctors telling her that she would be alright. Yeah... alright... even she wasn't stupid... very rarely does someone survive a straight through stab through the abdomen. She swallowed, a single tear sliding down her cheek. She didn't want to die like this, all to the man with the bladed hand, and his twisted little games... that would mean he would have won. She squeezed her eyes shut, letting out her first wail of pain. She could see the men and women that stared at her as her stretcher flew by, whispering... gasping... wondering what could have caused this... heh...
If only they knew. She cursed herself for not controlling her fear, giving the man just the power he needed to materialize and draw terror once more...
And Jason...
She squeezed her eyes shut, letting out another scream of pain as it racked her body, and she shuddered, feeling more blood pour onto her cool skin... She clawed at the shining stretcher handles, looking down at her blood sodden skin.
"Oh god... I'm gonna die," she said, not even realizing it was out loud, and a nurse looked down at her, holding her head on each temple.
"No you're not honey, we're going to take care of you," she assured, looking down at her. She had to have been Hispanic, she recognized the accent. She swallowed as she watched herself get rolled into the ER, her eyes fighting to stay open as she looked up at the surgical lights. Doctors talked to one another in calm voices, and she watched a mask get pressed gently over her nose and mouth.
"Count down from 100 okay?" The nurse said, and Adele smiled weakly. She recognized the sweet smell that wafted into her nostrils, and she took a deep breath, the smile staying on her face as her eyes slowly closed.
It smelled like bubblegum...
It smelled like bubblegum...
It smelled like....
A/N: I'm pretty surprised about how this new story is flowing better than the one I had in its place before. It makes a lot more sense too, so I'm glad. Keep reviewing, I always love to hear compliments and constructive criticism. If you couldn't tell I also rewrote a bit of the entire story line. The last one sounded as if it was a crappy low budget Sci Fi channel movie... crappy soundtrack and everything. XD
I'm terrible. Anyway, R&R! Thank you!
PS... Bubblegum anesthesia smells TERRIBLE
