A.N.: So, I meant to update earlier but time kinda got away from me I think? Not to mention I've been having bad side pains, which for me meant another kidney stone. The pain was bad enough that I had to go to the E.R. But on the bright side, I've got some meds for my A.D.D. so I should hopefully be able to focus better and write more. Yay! Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

They were lucky to stumble upon a chest a comfortable distance away from the killer, a generator just a few paces farther. Bryce stopped at the chest to grab whatever was inside while Ryan and Jonathan brought Evan over to the generator, propping him up against a nearby tree. Jonathan took Ryan's blood stained hoodie from him and pressed it against Evan's ankle, trying to stop the bleeding that had started up again when they'd moved him. Ryan headed over to the generator to start working on it while Jonathan stayed by Evan.

Evan was gritting his teeth, most likely trying to keep himself from making a pained sound. Jonathan hated seeing him like this.

Bryce caught up to them, skidding to his knees in front of the tree Jonathan and Evan were by.

"Guess we got lucky," he said, showing them the first aid kit he'd found. Jonathan let out a relieved sigh as he took it from Bryce. He definitely wasn't even close to a medical professional, but he could at least clean the wound and bandage it up. Bryce left to go help Ryan and left the two of them alone as Jonathan opened up the first aid kit and dug around for supplies to use.

"Thank you," Evan spoke up, quiet as Jonathan pulled out a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide, some alcohol wipes, and some strips of cloth.

"For what? This? I wouldn't thank me just yet Evan, this is gonna hurt like a bitch."

"No, well yes, but mostly for distracting the killer back there. You didn't have to do that." Jonathan looked up at Evan, looking right into his eyes and holding his gaze.

"Evan, I care about you a lot, okay? I wasn't gonna just stand there and do nothing."

"Still, thank you." It looked like Evan wasn't gonna let it go until Jonathan accepted his thanks so he smiled softly.

"You're welcome." Jonathan looked back down to Evan's ankle and he untied Evan's shoe before carefully slipping it off, giving himself some more room to work with. He slipped off Evan's blood soaked sock as well, just tossing it off to the side as it was garbage at this point.

Jonathan looked back down at the supplies and opened the bottle of hydrogen peroxide. He'd have to use it sparingly, because honestly who knew how much any of them could be hurt by the end of this. He handed Evan one of the strips of cloth.

"Bite this, okay?" It'd hopefully keep him mostly quiet if he couldn't hold back sounds. Evan nodded and did as he was told. Jonathan bunched up Ryan's hoodie and rested Evan's ankle on it before he uncapped the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and slowly tipped it over the wounds, spilling a small amount into one of the wounds. Like Jonathan had thought he would, Evan let out a fairly loud scream through his teeth, only quieted by the cloth he was still biting. Jonathan winced at the volume, hoping that the killer wasn't within earshot. He continued pouring small amounts of hydrogen peroxide over the other wounds, quickly finishing up and taking one of the other cloth strips and dabbing it over the wounds, cleaning up any extra. He looked up at Evan, seeing that his eyes were squeezed shut and he was breathing hard.

"You okay Evan?" Evan nodded slowly, reaching up to take the cloth from his mouth.

"'M fine, just hurts." Jonathan nodded and dug around for something to wrap Evan's ankle with, coming up with gauze and an elastic bandage. He wrapped the gauze around the ankle first, then the elastic bandage, securing it with pins. Jonathan looked through the first aid kit again and found some single dose Tylenol packets. He opened one and put the pill in Evan's hand, who swallowed it dry.

Jonathan packed up the rest of the first aid kit, helped Evan put his shoe back on, and moved to sit next to him, watching Bryce and Ryan work on the generator from a seemed to be doing well, as Jonathan hadn't heard the static at all since Bryce came back with the first aid kit. Bryce held up the flashlight and shined it at the wires and Ryan was able to match them based on their color since he could see them better.

The generator was finished quickly and they moved on. Jonathan took it upon himself to help Evan, supporting his weight as he hobbled along side him. Bryce and Ryan were up ahead of them slightly, talking quietly to each other. Bryce was digging around the first aid kit as they moved, pulling out an alcohol pad, ripping it open, then moving to clean Ryan's cut from before. Jonathan could hear Ryan hiss and Bryce shushed him before stuffing the used alcohol wipe in a side pocket and pulling out a large adhesive bandage. They stopped walking for a second so Bryce could put the bandage over Ryan's cut. When they continued walking, Bryce slipped his hand into Ryan's and held it.

Huh.

It took a while to find another generator and Bryce and Ryan started working on it. Jonathan brought Evan to a nearby tree and helped him sit down. He was about to sit down himself when he heard leaves crunching nearby. He whipped his head up and scanned the area around them. He wasn't able to find anything out of the ordinary so he let it go, slightly on edge.

"Do we even know where the door is?" Evan asked, sounding a lot better than he had before. Bryce nodded.

"I woke up near a gate," he said, "And if this is accurate to the game there'll be two of them. We just gotta find an outside wall and follow it."

Just as Bryce stopped talking, Jonathan heard the crunching of leaves again and he stood up and looked around. He had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach and he couldn't shake it.

"I heard something," Jonathan said. That caught everyone's attention and they all looked around. There was still nothing in sight, but that didn't mean that there wasn't something or someone behind one of the trees.

"How close are you guys to finishing that?" Ryan took a deep breath in as he twisted two wires together.

"Just a few more left."

Jonathan couldn't settle down, not until he either knew it was safe here or they left the area. He moved to look through the trees behind them, just watching. At least if he was watching, the killer wouldn't be able to sneak up on them.

Or at least, that's what he thought.

Several things happened within just a few seconds.

First, Jonathan heard the whir of the generator as Ryan twisted together the last two wires.

Second, he heard Evan yell, "Bryce, look out!"

And third, he heard Bryce scream.
