Chapter 4:Clear Cut
Will awoke to a young blond slapping him hard in the face. Her blue eyes lit up when she saw Will's eyes open up. He slowly sat up, groaning and looking around. The trail of blood going down the stairs gave Will a clue to what had happened.
"Oh thank god you're awake." Sarah exclaimed.
"How long have I been out?"
"Only about an hour."
"Ok get your crap we need to leave; this place is not safe anymore."
After they gathered their supplies, they set out into the cold. Following the train tracks north they stayed the night in a derailed train car. When morning came, they checked for anything outside, and set out once more, the howling wolves only making it seem colder. As dusk was setting in they reached the bridge over a frozen river. Will got an uneasy feeling from the large amount of creaking the bridge emitted as they crossed it. About ¾ of the way across a car was balanced precariously on the edge. Will looked inside and nearly threw up from the sight of the frozen mangled corpses that lay inside. Not wanting Sarah to see what was inside Will quickly moved on. They reached the other side and once they saw smoke rising up through the trees, they made a detour to the Carter Hydro Dam to rest and gather more supplies. After a five minute walk they reached the doors of the Dam. Will drew his machete, and slowly opened the door. Dim light shown through the window as the facilities only light source. The duo stepped inside and shut the door gently just in case anybody was inside. It was dead silent, besides the soft padding of something unknown.
They walked in a little further and there was a plethora of lockers and crate that were bound to have something in them. To the left of the entrance area was a long narrow hallway, leading deeper in to the Dam.
"Sarah I'm going to search farther in, so I need you to search quietly and carefully, stay on guard, and don't hesitate to kill anyone or anything that comes towards you that isn't me."
"Ok be careful Will"
Will reached into his pack and took out his storm lantern. He lit it, readied his machete, and started down the hall. The hall was long and narrow, and after a decent trek the silence was broken by footsteps and fast sniffing. Will put out the lantern and put it back in his pack, crouched down, and prayed that if it was hostile, his eyes would adapt fast enough so that he stood a chance. The footsteps got faster and faster and the outline of the wolf became apparent. Will swung upwards as the wolf leaped at him and tore the wolf's stomach open, and it went limp immediately. Will kicked the corpse off the blade, and continued onwards, constantly on guard incase another wolf wanted to try and make Will their dinner. He reached the end of the hallway, and entered a large room where he presumed the Dam did most of its electricity producing. He searched the entire room, and found nothing. He was on his way back when he heard Sarah scream his name. He burst into sprint and when he entered the room a shot rang out and he felt a huge pain in his side as the cold floor rushed up to meet him.
Will jumped backed into consciousness, just as one the men pistol whipped him. His hands and feet were tied down, and the surgical tools coated in blood were extremely unnerving.
"You know it's not every day we get a fine girl." One of the captors said in a suggestive tone.
"You're sick, that's a little girl you're talking about." Will spit a mix of blood and saliva at their feet, and was promptly pistol whipped once more. The captor seemingly in charge got real close up.
"Yeah I think after we have all had a few rounds we will chop her up, cook her in a fine stew. Yeah that sounds real nice." Will head-butted him causing the captor to stumble back onto a tray of tools, cutting up his clothes. Letting out a few curse words he walked back over flipped Will's chair and stomped on his face. "Beat the shit out of him while I go have some fun with the girl."
The two other captors nodded in approval, pulled Will's chair backup and started pounding down on him. During the beat down Will kept trying to break free of his bonds, which eventually bore fruit as along some serious rope burn the ropes snapped a Will launched a fist directly into the jaw of one of the captors. He quickly turned around and kicked the chair towards the second, went over to finish him, but was slammed into a wall, and one of the grunts started to strangle him Will grasped desperately for anything he could use when he felt something he grabbed it and slammed it into the man's side. Blood leaked out all over Will as he pulled the meat cleaver out of his side, while the man let out a scream. Will pushed him off and dug the cleaver into his chest.
The second guy ran up, kicked Will in the side, grabbed the meat cleaver and swung it down only mere inches from Will's face before will caught his arm twisted it, and punched him in the face took the cleaver dug it into to the man's neck. Will pushed him to the side and took a breather, wiping the blood off his face. After a minute he took the cleaver and walked outside. Stepping out into the bright sunlight he took in his surroundings. He was in a logging camp, and there were only two other trailers, and luckily no one was outside. He slowly walked up to the closest one and listened for Sarah or the cunt that took her. However he only heard men eating, at least six in which he definitely could not handle. Ducking under the window so he would not be seen he headed to other trailer. He listened to anything that would give a clue and he heard a girl struggling and swearing for some to get the fuck away. Will bust in and saw the leader on top of Sarah still fully clothed, thank the lord, and Will kicked the leader off Sarah and dug the cleaver down into his neck, killing him instantly.
"Get up Sarah we gotta go." He grabbed both their bags tossed Sarah her bag, grabbed their guns, his machete and dashed out into the wilderness, with Sarah following closely behind.
