11:30 am

IT WAS PITCH BLACK IN THE HALLWAY. EVRYONE WALKED CLOSE TOGETHER. THERE WAS A SUDDEN TURN TO THE RIGHT AND THE HALL BECAME NARROWER. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WALK BECAUSE THERE SEEMED TO BE A LOT OF STUFF ON THE FLOOR.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A VERY SOFT NOISE, SO SOFT AT FIRST THAT IT ALMOST MINGLED WITH THEIR FOOTSTEPS. IT WAS A SLOW THUMP, THUMP, THUMP THAT SEEMED TO COME FROM AHEAD OF THEM.

THEY KEPT WALKING SLOWLY, THEIR EYES STRAINING TO SEE ANYTHING. SUDDENLY AS THEY ROUNDED ANOTHER CORNER, THEY COULD SEE A SMALL SLICE OF LIGHT ABOUT FIVE FEET AWAY. SOMEONE BEHIND EDD SIGHED WITH RELIEF. THEY WALKED A LITTLE FASTER TOWARDS THE LIGHT, THE SOFT THUMP, THUMP, THUMP SEEMING TO BE CLOSER STILL.

THEY FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DOOR AND OPENED IT SLOWLY. IT CREAKED LOUDLY AS IT SWUNG ALL THE WAY OPEN. THEY STEPPED INTO A LIT ROOM THAT LOOKED TO BE THE FRONT OF A BAR. THE TV IN THE CORNER WAS NOTHING BUT STATIC, THE WINDOWS WERE BOARDED UP AND A FEW OF THE TABLES AND BARSTOOSLS WERE BROKEN. THEY WALKED IN, RELIEVED TO BE OUT OF THE DARK.

THEY COULD STILL HEAR THE SOFT THUMP, THUMP, THUMP BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM AS NEAR NOW. EDD LEAD THE GROUP TO A FEW TABLES THAT WERE STILL INTACT AND THEY SAT DOWN. NAZZ SAID "I'M GONNA GO SEE IF THERE'S A BATHROOM NEARBY." AS SHE STOOD UP LINDSAY STOOD UP SAYING "I'LL COME WITH YOU." NAZZ SMILED, APPARENTLY GRATEFUL AT THE COMPANY. THEY WALKED BEHIND THE BAR AND TOWARDS A DOOR MARKED EMPLOYEES ONLY.

"WHAT BAR IS THIS?" ASKED KEVIN, LOOKING AROUND FOR A LOGO OF SOME KIND. HE FOUND ONE OVER THE FRONT DOOR. IT WAS A NEON SIGN THAT ANNOUNCED BRIGHTLY J'S BAR. "WHO IS THIS JAY?" ASKED ROLF, LOOKING CONFUSED. "PROBABLY THE OWNER" SAID JIMMY WANDERING AROUND THE BAR TO LOOK AT ALL THE STRANGE NOVELTIES.

"HEY DOUBLE-D, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?" ASKED ED, LOOKING AT EDD HOPEFULLY. "YA, SOCKHEAD, WHATS OUR NEXT MOVE?" ASKED EDDY.

"WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD…" SUDDENLY EDD WAS CUT OFF BY A SCREAM COMING FROM THE ROOM WITH THE SIGN THAT READ EMPLOYEES ONLY. THEY ALL RAN THROUGH THE DOOR AND INTO THE DOOR MARKED WOMEN. NAZZ WAS ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF A STALL, GUN IN HAND TRYING TO GET BACK FROM A CREATURE EMERGING FROM IT. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET A FEW FEET BACK AND PICKED UP THE GUN AND SHOT THREE SHOTS, TWO OF WHICH MISSED BUT THE THIRD HIT IT IN THE FACE WITH A SICKENING SMACK AND IT FELL TO THE GROUND.

SHE STOOD UP SOBBING SLIGHTLY AND RAN TO EDD. "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, IT HAPPENED TOO FAST!" EDD HUGGED HER BACK, TRYING TO CALM HER DOWN. LINDSAY WAS UNCONCIOUS ON THE FLOOR A FEW FEET AWAY. ED HAD GONE TO HELP HER.

EDD LET GO OF NAZZ AND WALKED OVER TO THE CREATURE SHE HAD JUST SHOT.

IT WAS GRUESOME. IT WAS LIKE A PERSON BUT ITS FACE SEEMED AS IF IT HAD BEEN STRETCHED DOWN TO IT'S STOMACHE AND FUSED THERE. IT'S ARMS ALSO ENDED IN HUGE STUMPS THE SIZE OF A HORSE'S LEG WHERE THE HAND SHOULD BE. IT'S LEGS WERE SHRIVELED AND IT HAD BLOOD CLOTTING IT'S MOUTH AND THE BOTTOM OF THE STUMPS. A MAROON POOL OF BLOOD WAS BEGINNING TO FORM AROUND IT. "THIS MUST HAVE BEEN WHAT WAS MAKING THAT NOISE. WE NEED TO BE MUCH MORE CAREFUL" EDD THOUGHT

EDD BACKED AWAY SAYING "LET'S GET THEM BACK TO THE FRONT." KEVIN CARRIED NAZZ WHO MUST HAVE BEEN TOO SHOCKED TO WALK AND LINDSAY WAS HELPED BY ED BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL LIGHTHEADED FROM HITTING HER HEAD SO HARD ON THE TILE FLOOR.

THEY SAT THE TWO GIRLS DOWN AT A BOOTH AND GOT THEM BOTH SOME WATER. JIMMY SUDDENLY SAID "HEY, DO YOU THINK THERE'D BE ANYTHING IN HERE THAT WE COULD USE AS A WEAPON?" EDD THOUGHT FOR A SECOND AND SAID "WELL WE COULD USE SOME THINGS FROM THAT KITCHEN AREA BEHIND THE BAR; WE MIGHT ALSO BE ABLE TO USE ANY MECHANIC TOOLS. THERE SHOULD BE SOME UNDER THE SINK."

THEY ALL STARTED HUNTING AROUND. "I FOUND SOME MORE AMMO FOR THE HAND GUNS." SAID KEVIN. "I FOUND A CARVING KNIFE AND A FIRE AXE" SAID JHONNY. "I FOUND ANOTHER NAIL GUN AND A BAT IN THE OTHER ROOM." SAID EDDY HAPPILY. "ROLF FOUND THE METAL TUBE OF FIRE" SAID ROLF, HOLDING UP A SHOT GUN AND A FEW BOXES OF SHELLS.

"NOW WE ALL HAVE WEAPONS!" SAID JOHNNY EXCITEDLY.

THEY DECIDED TO GIVE THE SHOT GUN TO ROLF AND GIVE HIS PIPE TO LINDSAY. JOHNNY GOT THE NAIL GUN, JIMMY GOT THE CARVING KNIFE, EDDY GOT THE FIRE AXE, AND ED GOT THE BAT.

"COOL!" SHOUTED ED, WAVING THE BAT AROUND WILDLY. "WATCH IT LUMPY! YOU'RE GONNA KILL SOMEONE!" EDDY SHOUTED, DUCKING OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME TO AVOID THE BAT.

BY THIS TIME NAZZ WAS ABLE TO GET UP AGAIN AND LINDSAY FELT A LOT BETTER. THEY SAT AT A LARGE CIRCULAR TABLE TO DISCUSS THEIR NEXT MOVE

"WELL, I THINK OUR BEST BET IS TO GO OUT THE FRONT. WE'RE ONLY ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS FROM THE PRECINCT SO IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO DIFFICULT IF WE STICK TOGETHER AND TRY TO AVOID THE MAIN ROADS." THEY ALL AGREED AND STOOD UP TO GATHER EVRYTHING THEY'D NEED.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BANG AT THE FRONT DOOR. THEY ALL FROZE AND LOOKED AT IT FOR A MOMENT. EDD APPROACHED IT AND PUT HIS HAND AGAINST IT. AN INSTANT LATER IT WAS STRUCK AGAIN FROM THE OTHER SIDE, MAKING IT SHUDDER FURIOUSLY. EDD JUMPED BACK STARTLED "WEAPONS READY." HE SAID. EVRYONE STOOD, READY TO FIGHT. HE TURNED HIS HEAD TO KEVIN AND SAID "TRY TO FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT OF THIS ROOM. WE NEED AN ESCAPE PLAN" KEVIN NODDED AND WENT TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER EXIT.

THER WAS ANOTHER BANG AND THE DOOR SHOOK AGAIN. DUST CAME DOWN FROM THE CEILING WITH EVERY STRIKE. THE DOOR SHOOK TWO MORE TIMES THEN IT WAS BLOWN OPEN.

ok i know there maybe a little bit of confusion as to what the thing in the bathroom was it was something called a crawler, created by a fellow deviantart artist ^^ i give them full credit for this monster (and it is really horrible looking XD)
