Chapter 8: New Company

"SKIPPY !" Lana screamed and was too shocked as she could do something. Everyone were cheering but then went silent. Skippy opens his eyes and moved his eyes and could see the Axe was lying just next to his head. Then he shot a glance up to the Agusto who was breathing heavily and coughed blood from his mouth and without a warning he fell on his back and was dead.

This is his chance to flee and he kicked the one who held his body down the Log in his knee that it breaks on the other side. The Leper screamed in pain and also fell to the ground and held his broken knee. Lana headbanged the one sicko who grips on her arms and he let go of her and touched his Nose in pain. Skippy was right now in a fight with two of the Sickos and punched and kicked them in the face or in other parts of their bodies in. Lana rushed over to him and quickly glanced towards Rebecca who's still captured by the crowd and tried to free herself but got beats up by a group of infected children with Rocks and Sticks in their hand.

"Shit Lana help her!" he said to her and gave her the Agusto's Axe and she rushed over to help the one legged teen. Lana had no other choice as kill these children and waved the axe towards them. While she's smacking the kids she closes her eyes to not see that she's killing those poor naive Children. Back to Skippy he watches as the crowd became smaller but still some people tried to kill them and were now about to shoot at him.

"Skip watch out they got guns." Lana yelled over to him and he looked into the direction of the Archer's who pointed their guns towards the brown-haired male. Skippy curses with a loud "Oh Fuck me." and runs inside the Swamps between the tortured people and animals. A few of them got hit by the shootout and both girls were trying to limp away from those Lepers and Sickos. Rebecca puts an arm around Lana's shoulders and both of them "walked" away.

"What we gonna do about Skippy ?" Rebecca asks in worry and moaned by the pain of the loss of her foot. Lana who was looking around for a way out and for her boyfriend then response. "Don't worry he'll come for us. He's a brave guy and will never leave us behind." The Loud woman said but she was still worried about him and hopes he's gonna be ok.

Skippy runs through the Trees and ponds and could feel that his Chaser are right behind his back and were trying to catch him. He suddenly ends up in a sort of Camp everywhere he could were Tents or small Cabins standing around even on the water were some small Houseboats on it. Skippy then stops and looked in every direction where he could go but then he got grazed by a bullet on his hips. He flinched and turns around and he could see two were trying to shoot at him. One got a hunting rifle and the other got a Crossbow and starts to shoot towards him. Skippy dodged the Arrow and then hides in one of the Tents.

Agusto and his co-helpers then stopped shooting and rushed over to the tens and were now searching for their chosen one. Skippy who had moved into another empty tent moaned in pain and held his grazed wound for stopping the bleeding. He took a chance to glance outside the tent and could see Agusto's group approaching him while they looked inside the shelters. Skippy then crawled back and searches for a weapon. His Shotgun was taken away while they were thrown into the Hole.


Meanwhile the girls were still walking together through the Swamp. Rebecca who still had her arm around Lana's neck tried to limping but it's to exhausting for her then she suddenly stops and Lana looked at her with a confused look.

"What's wrong Becca ?" Lana asked worriedly

"I can't anymore ... (Pant)... Why ... why are you still here ? (Pant) (Pant)" Rebecca asked this makes Lana to look even more confusedly to her.

"What do you mean by that ?" She asked and bent down to her. Rebecca starts to sob and tried to avoid eye-contact with Lana because she felt embarrassed.

"Look at me-e. L-Look at this... S-Shit!" she cried and points at her chopped off leg. Which makes Lana to shock a little. "You're boyfriend is out there in danger and possibly be ... And you ... you're helping a girl who got chance to survive and who lost everything in her life." She continued and then broke down in tears.

Lana could feel her heartbreaking by the sight of the young teen who not just lost a leg. She also lost her boyfriend, her family, friends and even her home. She really got nothing to loose except her life. Lana comfort her with a hug which surprised Rebecca but she could feel the warmly of the Loud woman. Lana began to tear and then suddenly starts to speak.

"Look Rebecca the reason we don't leave you back is because you're our friend. And friends should support and help each other that's why. Hell I even saw you as a little Sister even if we now each other for hours. At the time we were back in that hole. Skippy told me that we THREE we're going to have a perfect life after we escape this hell." Rebecca was heart warmed by her words and fired into her Shoulder and thanked her.

"Th-... Thank you (Sniff) Lana." Lana just smiled and then broke their hug. She then held a hand towards the teen and she took it and they continued their walk.


Back to Skippy he was searching all over inside the Tent for something useful as a weapon but couldn't find anything. But then he glanced down to a frying Pan and shrugged. "Better than nothing." he said and took the Pan.

After that he opens the other opening from the tent and crawled outside. He "rolls" over to the other side of the path so that the Leper next to him couldn't notice him. Then he makes his way inside one of the opened tents and carefully crawled inside. But then he got jumped by another Leper who was sitting inside it and notice the young "healthy" male coming inside and jumps at the burglar.

Skippy screamed a little in shock and held his hands in the air to protect himself. Then he was lying on the floor and got nailed on the floor. The Leper tried to choke him and said something what Skippy couldn't understand. While he's trying to choking the young male his slobber was now tripping into Skippy's face and he was disgusted by it. The Leper let the whole time a grunting/hissing sound from his mouth and still tried to choke him with his deformed hands.

Skippy was about to pass out but then he sees something looking out inside the Leper's ripped Jacket and the brown-haired male grabbed it with his hands and then pierced it into the Lepers neck. Blood was flooding out onto Skippy and as far he could knew is that Leper is contagious through liquid just like Aids. So held covered his mouth with his free hands and closed his eyes until the dead person fell away next to him.

After that Skippy was a little traumatized that he actually stabbed someone in front of his eyes, but this is not the time for sitting here and traumatizing he has to find Lana and Rebecca and a way out. So he went outside but then got grabbed by some hands who dragged him along the path. Skippy tried to free himself from the grips but then he got thrown right in front of the feet of the human-like Creature Agusto. Skippy looks up and stunned that he's not dead just like back with Mitchell he was dead but now he's standing breathing in front of him.

'What the hell is wrong with those people this isn't RESIDENT EVIL here.' he thought to himself and tried to flee again and dodge the grips from the tall creature or the others. Skippy is now running and the cat and mouse play continued again. Bullets and Arrows were flying through the air and Skippy sprints through the Tents and sometimes shoves other sickos or lepers on his side and then he fell into a small river and swims across it. He takes a look back and sees that his chasers were now swimming as well.

"Oh for Fuck sake. That's not fucking fair dude." He pants while he's swimming across the small river. After a few second he could feel the floor again and starts running again through the trees. In front of him he could see two familiar figures walking in the Swamps but then quickly turned around.

"Skippy ?" the one figure said and it revealed it's his girlfriend and future mate and his friend Rebecca. He sprints towards them and yelled them to run. First the two were confused why but then they could see that next to them a bullet hits a branch and they started to run. Skippy stopped by Rebecca and carried her on his back and the trio starts to fleeing through the Swamps and sometimes through some mini Camps. They were running and running without to think of stopping. Behind them the group and the creature were still chasing them and were shouting and shooting towards the three.

"ARE THEY EVER GONNA QUIT?" Rebecca asked madly and looks back to her chasers. Agusto noticed that she's glancing back at him and he let out a almighty roar towards her and Becca just shoved the middle finger against them. Skippy and Lana who became slowly tired especially Skippy who carried Rebecca on his back from running notice that their soon gonna have to stop but they can't they don't want to end up on the Log again. But then something came into Skippy's mind.

'Who stabbed or shot that guy ?' he thought to himself and gave a puzzled look while he's running. At this time while they were running a Truck appeared in front of them and starts driving towards them. Both Lana and Skippy with Rebecca on his back separated each other and avoid the car and then two appeared on the Loading trunk and one of them threw a huge Net against Lana and she fell to the ground. Lana tried to free herself from the net but it was to heavy plus it she was trapped in that net on hand and feet. Rebecca noticed it and turns back to Skippy.

"SKIPPY. LANA IS TRAPPED." She yelled and he quickly stops and turns around and sees that Lana was dragged back to the Truck. Skippy was about to run towards her but then he felt something on his foot and suddenly was hanging upside down and lost Becca from his back and she dropped on the floor.

"Oh Fuck. Shit. RRRRRAAAAH." He screamed and cursed and tried everything to free himself but nothing helped him. The group walked over to the duo after they shot Lana with a stun gun. First they dragged the helpless Rebecca away from him and also stunned her with a drag in front of her mouth. Skippy was still trying to free himself from the rope trap and only could see how both girls were brought to the Truck back. He could only how the people disappeared behind the flashing Light of the Truck and loaded her on the Truck. Then Agusto walks towards him and cut the Rope were he's hanging and the brown-haired young male fell to the ground. He then quickly turns around and sees Agusto raises his feet and stumbles with one kick against Skippy's Face and he passed out.


Skippy slowly opens his eyes and felt the pain right in his face. He also notices that blood is coming from his forehead and was dripping down his entire face which it makes him sneezing and spitting blood. He also feels that his one eye was covered with blood and he only could see red on this eye.

Skippy tries to move but he feels that he's lying in a very tight spot. His entire body wasn't able to move just his head, arms and foot. It was to claustrophobic in here. He then notices that he was surrounded by black painted wood. Skippy tries to look around and tried to move what looked like a hatch door above him to move but it seems like it was locked with nails.

"Shit. What the Fuck ?" he asked himself and then asks were's his girlfriend and Rebecca ? Now after his eyes accustomed from the darkness. He could barely see that he's lying in a sort of a Box or ... Coffin. Skippy curses and tried again to open the hatch door but then he feels that he got lifted and that shocked him a little.

Suddenly a raspy voice came from the outside and began to speak.

"Oh dear God. Please have mercy on to the poor Souls, Oh God according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all their iniquity and cleanse them from their Sin." Right at this time Skippy could feel that two Objects were thrown in a River. In then background besides the Swamp people were praying, mumbling and muttering something and then he suddenly feels he's been thrown in the air and lands hard on his back and head.

"UFF ah Shit." he curse and now water is floating inside of the "Coffin". He was now panicking and tried to smack, push and kick in every direction to free himself and finally pushed with all of his strength against the nailed door. More water was floating inside of it and it also got barely air bubble for him and that makes him more panicking. In the same time a loud just like a choir of Trumpets sound were sounding from the outside and he also could see through some slots that the Sky was now shining in a red light. But Skippy didn't care he wanted to get out of that Box and again pushed with all he got against the door and finally could the door jumped open and a mass of water surprised him. He quickly jumps away from the Box and was now swimming in the water. He then opens his eyes and could now see that next to his "Coffin" two others were floating.

Skippy swims over to them and called Lana's and Rebecca's name but not respond. He finally reached those two boxes and he tries to swim with those two boxes in his arms towards the Shore. After the fight with the River he finally made it and pulled them more into the shore for secure. Then he went over to one Box and puts his ear on the one. He could hear someone breathing inside and he quickly kicks the hatch door open. He then looks inside of it and sees Rebecca lying inside of it still dazed.

Skippy walks over to open the other coffin and it shows Lana already awoken from the creaking sound of the Wood. She was just lying there in a thousand yard stare and her hands were on her Stomach. Skippy climbed inside carried her out and tried to talk with her while stroking her hair and held her hands.

"Lana ? Lana please come back to me. You're and the baby are alright you understand." he said to her and was extremely worried about her.

Lana could only see that someone was standing in front of her and walking to her but her hears were like she was still underwater and she then remembers the time were she was a kid and couldn't sleep in her Bed. She walks with her Blanket into her brothers room and slowly opens the door. Inside was he lying. Her big and only brother Lincoln. He was sleeping in his on his bed and his specially white hair was like glowing in the night.

Lana walks with puppy eyes inside her brothers room and went over to his bed. Lana then gently shakes Lincoln to wake up and he suddenly wakes up and faces her.

"Lana ? another Nightmare?" he asked her with a sleepy voice and sits up. Lana just nods and hops on his bed and was about to go sleep again but then she could feel that Lincoln was now holding her and hugged her tightly. Lana was first surprised but then hugs her back. After that he let go of her and smiled.

"I had one too." He said and Lana gave him a heartwarming smile and hugged him again and she could feel how safely she feels inside her Brothers arms. She was cuddling in it. Lincoln then laid with her in his arms in bed and she could only feel safe around him. Before she fell asleep she turns around to her already slept in brother and kissed him on the forehead and cuddles again into her brothers chest.

"Thank you big brother for be there for me."


"Lana. please open come back." A voice echoed through her daydream and for the first she thought it was Lincoln who is here to Safe her again but then she completely snaps out and sees both Skippy and Rebecca kneeling in front of her and her Boyfriend held her in the arms and was about to cry. But then they noticed that she's coming back and hopefully looked to her.

Lana then looks up in the sky and she could see the dark blue Dawn sky above her and noticed that it's going to get morning again.

"Skippy ?" she asked to him and looks back to him. "Yeah Babe it's me. I'm here. I'm here." he said tearfully and hugged her. Rebecca sits awkwardly in the background and looked to the ground and then looks the area where they where.

She saw that the area looked more civilized than before. Because behind them were two abandoned Houses one of them was a Dock and the other was placed in the background. Rebecca also realizes she leaning on a wrecking Boat and some signs were standing around. She also takes a glance towards above the trees and Cabins and notice a some sort of Watchtower with a Antenna on it. And on the tower was a person standing watching them and then quickly slides down the ladder.

Rebecca's eyes widened and she went back to the Couple who were still kissing and hugging each other and broke the Ice.

"Guys I don't want ruin your be together, but we have to go now."

Both were now looking in confusion to her but then suddenly a sound of a like Siren appeared in the background. They also hear some people hissing and screaming. The trio were about to leave but then People on Motorcycles and one small Car were now surrounding them. In the background they see people running towards them and were holding guns in their hands. Skippy gently shoved Lana and Rebecca behind him and stepped back were the river was.

All of the people were now surrounding and pointing their guns into the direction of the Three. Lana, Rebecca and Skippy then examined the looks of the people. All of were having dirty,ripped black clothes on or were wearing coats. Most of them had mask on their faces and the mask were like a mix up of Twisty the Clown from American Horror Story and Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. All in all everyone were looking like Emo/Punks which was a mix up like the Scavengers from The Walking Dead. And not to mention all had fangs in their mouths and dark neon red eyes glowing on them. After a while of silence and look arounds a young woman around late 20s walks through the crowd and was now approaching them.

She had lavender skin with long two-tone purple hair she was the only one with green eyes. She also have bloody red lips and aqua eyelids on her. She also have a Necklace on and her outfit consists of a dark purple dress which goes down to the ground and it every time she walks one of her legs appeared through the dress and she also wears a red belt around her upper hips just like Rebecca. And her shoes were also blood red heels. The mysterious girl approached them and then stops in front of the tree to examine them.

She then stops her eyes towards Skippy and she gave him a cute, lustful smile. Skippy felt uncomfortable towards her but she gave him this kind of hypnotic look to him. The purple skinned girl then walks over to Lana and looks down to her Stomach. Then she slowly reached her hand on Lana's stomach but Lana just flinched and Skippy slowly walks in front of her.

Now both Skippy and the girl were again looking into each others eye and suddenly she came closer to him and kisses him on the Lips. Lana clenches her fist and becomes angry then she shoves the girl away from her boyfriend and gave her a scowled face. The Girl did nothing just licking her blood red lips and smiling to them. After that she walks back then notices Rebecca's right "foot". She then waved two of her people to come over and a young man who looked like a male version of Lucy from her childhood and another girl which reminds Lana of Haiku walks over to her and the purple skinned woman stars talking.

"Bring her to our doctor and he should look for her, because I see something in here and I wanna talk talk to her later." She said to them and looks back to Rebecca who was now panting in fear. Skippy and Lana were now blocking the way of the two.

"Don't even think about dude. Who are you guys ?" he asked them and the purple skinned girl walks back to the too and starts speaking.

"Where the Succubus. And my name is Sibella welcome to Lamashtu's Garden." She said and just like a madame she lifts her skirt a bit and greeted them. The crowd greeted swell and the all the women did like the same way as Sibella and the males greeted them by doing their hands on their hearts and also bend down. The three looked at each other in confusion but then Rebecca got carried away and two other strong looking middle aged males were holding the couple back.

Both of them were trying to free themselves but the two mans were two strong for them. Rebecca was like paralyzed from the scene and was placed in the back of the only Car. Then later Sibella waved the two males to bring them to and these two obeyed her and brought the couple also in the back of the Car.
