Alrighty then for the thanking...hmm well only one review and that was from Darkcomet...thankies for the support...and now some past review helpers that I didn't get to thank last chapter...lessa. and Selphie Fan for giving me advice.
A light snowfall had started, the light delicate flakes fluttered down and stuck to Jessica's hair and clothes. The streets were deserted, not even the buildings showed signs of life. Jessica had been walking for what seemed like hours.
Some Resort She sighed looking up at the cloudy sky Theres not even a guide or anything looking for cash.
The sound of glass shattering caused her to jump and she looked around. Through the dense fog, she barely caught sight of a figure crawling into a window.
HEY YOUSTOP, She shouted thinking it was burglar GET OUT OF THERE!
Whoever it had been was already gone by the time she made it to the window.
"Must...be...inside" She panted out of breath.
With another glance around, she climbed into the window being careful of the glass shards sticking out of the frame. Inside of the building, it was dark except for the light coming in through the window and a small pocket flashlight sitting on the counter. There was something crashing around in the back of the store, most likely right behind the door that was caught in the shine of the flashlight. She walked over to the counter, grabbed the flashlight, and shone it around the room.
"A drug store" She said to herself "Burglar must be an addict then."
She jumped over the counter and walked over to the door. Hesitating she glanced behind her and noticed a wooden bat leaning against the counter. There was no way shed fight a burglar unarmed so she tucked the flashlight into her pocket and grabbed the baseball bat.
"All right, here goes" She said and pulled the door open.
There were piles of boxes and pill bottles scattered across what looked like a store room. One of the piles of boxes was moving slightly and she stepped toward it.
"A-a-alright...come out" She ordered nervously "If you give up...I-I won't hurt you."
The boxes stopped moving and a loud growl emanated from them making her gulp. .A rather large figure burst out of the boxes making her stumble backwards against the door. It looked like a dog...or rather as if it used to be a dog. Large hunks of flesh had rotted off its body and its head, the flesh underneath its eyes and mouth hung loose. It snarled at her and blood ran out of its mouth dropping on the floor, which more than likely meant it had killed someone.
Dear god Jessica gasped her eyes going wide with fear.
The dog let out a low growl and charged at her its teeth bared. She clenched her eyes shut and swung the bat with a loud scream. The bat hit against the dogs head with a sickening crunch making the dog yelp loudly. It slumped to the floor, and blood instantly pooled around its head. Jessica opened her eyes and looked at it before screaming and running.

Travis shot upright in a heavy fit of coughing and gasping. Once it had passed he looked around finding himself in a small restaurant. A cold wind blew into the room and he shivered looking to his left and saw that the entire window had been broken.
"Wh-where in the hell am I," He stammered standing up getting the distinct feeling of Deja vu.
Despite being empty, the restaurant was completely empty. There were a few things piled on the counter underneath what looked like a jacket. He knew that there was no probably reason to grab them but something in the back of his mind told him that it was important. Pulling the jacket off the items, he noticed that it was one of his and slipped it on. Underneath the jacket, there was a small radio, a flashlight, and a map.
"Hmm…I guess this'll be useful," He said with a shrug and put all the items into his pocket.
He left the restaurant and looked around him wondering where all the fog was coming from. This all felt familiar to him so he decided to look at the map and see if this was somewhere he recognized. He pulled out the map and looked it over until he caught sight of the town's name.
"N-no" He gasped, all the color had drained from his face and he sunk to his knees "Th-this cant be."
In the distance, he heard a childish giggle and looked up to see someone waving from behind the corner of a building. He was still in shock and silently stood up sliding the map into his pocket. His mind told him to run but his gut told him to check it out so he walked over to the building. Peeking around the corner, he couldn't see anything right off but then he noticed that on the ground were some papers. Kneeling down he picked one of them up. In untidy childish scrawl, the words "Keep your promise..." were written. He read the other one which only had the word "Hospital" written on it.
Well...that's it...hope you stick around for next chapter readers...before anyone reviews and insults the chapter I know its not as good as the first 3 but I was rushed for a halloween release. Anything else...oh yeah I need more reviewers so if your out there reading post a review or two let me know what you think...I thrive on constructive criticism...anyway keep your eyes peeled for chapter 5.
