"Where am I?" Chris mumbled. He stumbled and tripped as he slowly walked down a road. It was foggy, and lonely. He could hear piercing screams coming from the distance, but he couldn't stop walking. He couldn't control his legs as they instinctively took one step after another.
A forest surrounded the road, huge pine trees towered above him, but something was strange about them. He looked up, and he noticed that the trees began to cave in. They formed together at the top, blocking out the little light that made it through the dreary clouds. His breath suddenly turned into steam, as if he was back in the cold air of Mount Washington. The road changed beneath him, turning into a solid wood base. Soon he realised where he was. Back in the outdoor cabin. The fog was gone, however the screeching continued. This time it was closer. He turned the corner, and there he was. Josh.
His back was turned and Chris could hear muffled crying noises. Josh was crouched on the floor, his face in his palms. Slowly, he walked over to him until he was standing right over him. His legs finally stopped.
"Josh." Chris whispered. He continued to sob. "Josh." he said louder. Finally he got some sort of reaction, as Josh removed his face from his palms. His muffled cries had stopped, he was silent. He got up off of the floor and stood up, standing motionless like a mannequin. "Josh. It's me, Chris." Josh's hands clenched into a fist at the sound of the name. Chris stepped forward and put his hand on his shoulder, turning him around.
His head shot around, startling Chris. But this wasn't Josh. This was something else.
His skin was grey and wrinkled, pulled taught across his face, revealing every small detail and scar. His teeth were like knives, piercing out of his mouth at different lengths. They were covered in blood, dripping down onto his pale skin.
His eyes were haunting - a milky white. They stared directly into Chris', giving him an uneasy chill down his spine. What had happened to him?
Josh pushed Chris onto the ground with a force so strong it winded him.
"You. Left. Me." Josh's voice spoke inside Chris head as he gasped for breath on the floor.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. I, I, I came back. I came back." Stuttered Chris. "I did. Bu- But you weren't, you weren't there."
"You. Left. Me." Josh slowly crawled along the wooden floor, creeping closer towards Chris.
"I'm sorry, I'm so, so, so, so sorry." Chris started to cry.
"Look at me. Look what you did to me." Josh climbed on top of Chris, digging his nails into his skin. Chris screamed at the pain. "Come back to the mountain, Chris. See what you did to me. To my sisters." Suddenly Hannah and Beth's bodies appeared next to Josh.
"No, no. We didn't mean it! It was a prank, they weren't meant to die." They all leant into Chris' face and let out a sharp, piercing scream like that of the wendigo. Chris shut his eyes and covered his ears with his hands.
"Chris wake up. Wake up, now!"
Suddenly, he shot up out of bed. He was sweating everywhere, but Josh, Hannah and Beth were gone, so was the screaming. He was back in the hospital. Ashley stood next too his bed.
"Chris, are you okay?" Ashley asked. The sound of her voice calmed Chris.
"I, I think so. What are you doing here? How did you get here?" Chris questioned.
"We need to go now." Said Ashley sternly. She grabbed a wheelchair and took it over to the bed.
"Ash, what the hell are you doing?"
"You've just come out of your operation on your leg, you cant walk on it so I..." Before Ashley could finish Chris interrupted.
"No, I'm talking about what are you doing now? Why do we need to go, and again, how did you get here?" Chris said firmly.
"I'll explain later." Ashley helped Chris into the wheelchair.
"No, I want to know now." He looked at her, confused, still worked up by his dream. Ashley looked terrified, her eyes about to burst. She took a deep breath as a single tear trickled down her bruised face.
"The police are on their way." Ashley's voice shook as she spoke. "They're coming to arrest us. All of us."
Hi guys! I am sooo sorry that haven't posted in nearly a year now. I just lost all interest in writing because I didn't even realise that anyone was even reading my story so I didn't see a point in writing. However after coming back onto the website out of curiosity and reading some of the reviews, I was honestly so amazed that people were actually enjoying it and wanting to read more (And to be honest, I've really missed writing this).
Anyway, I think this break has been beneficial because I have come up with so many new ideas for the story and I am honestly so excited to see how it ends. I hope that you're all still interested in reading and I'm sorry for this crappy chapter, I just needed to write something for Chris because he hasn't had a chapter yet so I kind of just had to try my best. Also, all questions will be answered in upcoming chapters!
