But here it is and head up!

Head up!... This story was inspired by the game "Dead By Daylight" so don't get too confused!

30 AU challenge:

22 - Hunt AU

A group of 7 people, 4 of them were men and the other 3 were women, made it through the dense forest in the dark night. They all looked like a mess. Their clothes were muddy, slightly torn, hair messy, their eyes looked very tired and were looking around frantically whenever they heard a small sound of a bush moving or a dry twig breaking, few of them had bandages wrapped around their injured arms or legs, but they didn't look as worst as the one they were following through this forest. The woman was a short blonde, her clothes were muddy, had dried blood stains and looked like they were almost ripped to shreds, her face had scratches and mud, and any visible skin she showed you could see purple bruises. on her back, she carried a back bag that they guessed was full of supplies and medicine and in her hand, she held a flashlight that cleared their path.

"Something feels wrong." Thought David who was the leader of this group of survivors not including the blond lady they were following.

He remembered when he first woke up in this hell hole. He was confused but when he heard the bloodcurdling scream from the distance, he became terrified. He ran around the dark forest hoping that he would maybe find a house that he can seek help from or at least hide in it or to maybe find a street so he can wait for any car that came by to take him away from this place. But he found none of those things. The only houses he found were basically ruined and broken. Then he saw it. He was searching for any supplies he could find, when he saw a woman running in the distance. He was happy to finally see someone else in this place which meant he wasn't alone, he lifted his arms up and started to call for her but she didn't hear him, when he was about to try and be louder he froze in fear at what was the woman running behind her. It was a man wearing a mask with a sick grin carved in it, he was holding what looked like a rusted cleaver, he didn't get to see the rest of how he looked as he stared in horror as the psychopath caught up to the woman and started to stroke her over and over again. Blood covered his white mask but he seemed unbothered, he then started to drag his victim's now mangled body with him to who knows where. David didn't want to stay and find out so without hesitation he started to back away slowly to he wouldn't get the killer's attention on him but when he was out of sight he started running.

With time he met more survivours who like him woke up in this strange place with no idea of how. They started to share with him pieces of information on what they learned in their time here. First, there are different supplies that appear to be scattered around the forest either in plain sight or hidden in places like basements and such. Second, there is more than just one killer, so they had to be very careful of their surroundings. Third, there is no day time, one of them said that he was counting the minutes and hours of how long they were here and that the sun should have come out hours ago. Lastly and most importantly, there is a way out of here. one of the girls said that no matter how far she ran she would always come back to the same place at if they were stuck in a Bermuda triangle, they then found an old engine that they fixed and somehow lighted a way to door that lead them out of here. The door needed 4 engines to open, however, whenever they tried to fix the third engine one of the killers always finds and kills one of her groups that in the end she gave up and decided to just survive as long as she could in hopes of finding another way.

When hearing that David decided to gather as many survivors as he can so that they make a plan that different groups of them distract the various killers so that the rest could fix the engines and be protected while they do so, that if they worked together they could escape. But the plan never worked. Some survivors thoughts his idea was insane, others didn't want to risk their lives and decided to try their own luck, then there are those who were desperate to get out of here had immediately agreed to join. And he though the plan was going great, he collected enough people, had enough tools that they can use as weapons and for emergencies they had the first-aid kit. Unfurtountly, the plan went horribly wrong. Another small group was planning to ditch them to die and steal their supplies for themselves, they made noises, left defenseless survivors alone with the killers, however, the irony was that they too had ended up being victims to the massacre that took place. When the killers were finally gone, the once green fields and gray stone were now painted red with blood.

Those who survived, his current group, decided to try and find another way out. A path that was less dangerous, It almost seemed impossible and they were half tempted to just give up and die. That's when Seras Victoria showed up.

The little woman was so terrified when she first met them and almost tried to attack them but never made the first move. Only after assuring her that they weren't like those other survivors who kill others for supplies did she calm down. They shared a night with her and she was generous enough to share with them the food and medicine she had saved up. She was kind, funny and innocent, which made everyone like her immediately and treated her as if she was part of them all along. But not everyone. David did not trust Seras one bit, sure he was grateful that she helped them but that doesn't mean that he would give her his full trust any time soon. And whenever he talked to his group in private of how suspicious she was, they would only shrug him off and say that he was being paranoid. After what felt like days being with her, even though there was no sunlight, David decided to separate from Seras before she becomes a permanent part of the group, but before he got the chance Seras revealed a big secret to them.

"I know a way out!... I followed one of the killers one day to a cave, inside it there were these symbols that I assume are magic…A portal!...A portal to the outside!"

"If it was a portal as you claim why didn't you just…go through it?"

"I tried…but the portal seems to need a lot of people in order to work…That's why I was wondering back here, to try and find people who want to get out of this nightmare as much as I do… And I think I found them."

His group, of course, believed her. He tried to stop them, saying out it must be some kind of trap, but they didn't listen. They even threatened him of leaving him alone if it means them getting out. So here they were now following this woman who they barely know anything about her, blindly to who knows where.

"Seras…" One of the other men called in a whisper. "How long more?"

"Soon…" She answered simply and she kept moving forward. David raised a brow at that…she sounded …off.

"I can't wait to leave this place." One of the girls said to the other excitedly.

"Yes!." Exclaimed her friend. "I can't wait to see my family again, I missed my parents so much-"

"If you don't stay quiet." She said coldly before stopped and turning to give them a harsh look. "Or do you want to be found out and slaughtered?"

Everyone froze and was surprised by the sudden change of mood. Seras never showed any signs of hostility until now. David came forward and raised his arm up to shield his group from whatever Seras would do. When seeing that Seras shoulders seemed to lower and took a deep breath to calm herself further, she paused for a while which weirded David and was about to tell his group to leave when Seras lifted up her head and give them an apologetic smile.

"I am sorry everyone, I didn't mean to sound mean." She said sincerely. "It's just this part of the forest that can be very dangerous if we didn't keep silent…or kept looking to the ground."

When she said that, she pointed her flashlight to spot near a tree, at first it looked like nothing but if you looked closely you could see a bear trap hidden under a pile of leaves. Everyone gasp at what they saw then moved closer to Seras quietly, trusting her into leading them to safety and despite his suspicion of Seras, David also kept close. With the silent agreement to keep quiet Seras continued walking. However, during their walk David couldn't help but feel as if he was being watched, he turned his head left and right just to catch the eyes that were following him, but found nothing. After what felt like an hour they finally reached there destination. A dark cave, it looked big and pitch black on the inside, everyone just stared with furrowed brows at the entres, hesitating to go any further.

"Here we are." Said Seras excitedly, she turned to everyone with a smile. "Inside this cave lays our chance out!"

With that said, Seras turned around on her heel towards the cave but after taken a few steps forward she stopped and looked back to them. None of them had moved an inch forward. She raised a brow at them.

"Why aren't you coming?"

Everyone was glancing at each other, silently asking "Who is going first?". Just when one of the girls was about to take the first step she was stopped.

"Alright, that's enough!" Said David as he went and stood in front of his group blocking their way. "Are you seriously going to follow her there?"

"Why not?" Said one of the men.

"Why not?... WHY NOT!?" Shouted David before turning around and pointed an excuse finger at Seras. "She wants us to follow her into a cave in the middle of nowhere that leads us to God knows where!"

"Uhmm…It leads us to a portal out of here?" Seras answered timidly. David turned and gave her a hateful glare.

"YOU SHUT UP!" He shouted making Seras flinch. "You came out of nowhere claiming that you are a friend, bringing us out of our hiding spot to the psychos' territory to go into this gave that you claim it has a 'Portal' out of this place?... BULLSHIT!"

He then went to Seras and grabbed her by her collar to lift her up towards him causing her to release a cry of surprise.

"You…are probably one of those bastards who kill other survivors to steal their supplies." He hissed dangerously.

He expected Seras to attack him back, to struggle in his hold, to curse at him or maybe call for help, but he didn't expect to see her tearful eyes as she tried her best not to cry.

"I….I'm not… I o-only wanted..to…to help-" She stuttered in fear.

Before he could react, he has tugged away harshly from Seras and thrown into the ground. David grunted in pain and was a little dizzy but when he looked up he saw that the girls were comforting Seras where the men were standing in front of them like a wall, protecting her…from him.

"We had enough of you David!"

"This is the last straw."

"At first we were annoyed with your paranoia… but to go as far as to attack a lady that meant us no harm, who gave us a big part of her supplies to survive while you here accuse her of wanting to steal from us!"

"Seras even shared with us the path out of here when she could have kept it to herself and found some people else!"

"The only psycho here is you!"

David's eyes widened at their words that cut him like a knife. All this time he had protected them, kept them safe, he gathered supplies for them and never slept when they were sleeping just to watch over them. And here they are looking down at him, casting him away from the group the HE formed. David looked at each one of their faces in disbelieve only to be met with either hateful gazes or one of pity, but when his eyes landed on Seras who was being hugged by one of the girls, he frowned angerly at her making her flinch and bury her face on the girl's shoulder which earned him a hateful glare from her. He just shocks his head as he stood up.

"Fine!" He grabbed his bag from the ground and looked back at them. "Go to hell!... ALL OF YOU!...see if I care…"

He then turned on his heel and walked away, he didn't need to look back to know that they all entered the cave after Seras. David just kept moving forward, going through the same path Seras had lead them through, just so he can avoid the traps that were hidden. But then he stopped when noticed that something was wrong. David turned his head left and right but was only met with silence. He couldn't hear the movement of any kind, nor even the feeling of being watched followed him. Suddenly he could hear horrified screams from the distance and he knew exactly from where it came, and without wasting another second David ran to the cave, ignoring the darkness around him running forward until he saw a light that leads to an open area. When he reached it he froze in horror at what he saw.

His group… his friends… dead. Their mangled body littered the ground, their guts ripped out of them and their faces froze into an expression of fear. He wanted to throw up, to scream, to cry, but something else caught his attention. There at the end of the cave, was Seras who was…moaning?... He walked forward to get a clearer look and his eyes widened. Seras's clothes and hands were covered in blood but that wasn't what shocked him. Seras was in the middle of making out with a monster. His long arms wrapped around her smaller form, his long pitch-black hair was moving around as if it was alive, David couldn't see his face, but he could see that his skin was sickly pale and whenever he opened his mouth to drive his tongue deeper into the blond's mouth he could see his razor-sharp teeth. Seras let out another moan because the monster had dug his claws into her flesh, which looked very painful but it seems that it brought pleasure to her. A broken smile showed on David's face when he understood what was going on.

"You…you bitch." When he said that the two broke from their kiss and turned to look at him. the beast's eyes were dark red that gave him the feeling of being watched again. David was being watched all this time…by him.

"This is the one that always kept try to ruin my plan of luring those idiots here." Said Seras in an annoyed tone, she then turned to the beast and gave him a sad look. "He even hurt me."

She said pulling down her collar that revealed a small bruise on her neck, it probably didn't even hurt but she seemed to make it look as if it was torturing her. The beast looked down at the bruise and his face turned into an ugly frown as he growled.

"You little runt." His baritone voice rang through the empty space, which made the hairs on the back of David's neck stand in fear. "How dare you hurt what is mine?"

The monster then leaned into Seras's neck and started licking the bruise with his abnormally long tongue making Seras release a moan of pleasure. David was frozen in his place with fear because through this all the monster's eyes didn't leave his staring at his very core, but what he said

"You will pay…with your life."

When he heard those words David woke up from his previous state and started running back to where he came from. However, he didn't get to go far as he felt something wrap around his right ankle causing him to fall face-first to the ground, he felt something splash across his face and when he opened his eyes he saw he fell on a small pool of blood, he looked down at what caught his ankle and saw that it was a black tentacle that came from the monster who didn't move an inch from where he stood. Then slowly he felt himself being pulled towards them.

"N..No…NO!"

David screamed as he started kicking the tentacle and wiggled his feet in an attempt to free himself but to no avail. He started to claw at the ground trying to pull away or to at least slow himself, to give himself time to think of a way to escape or find a weapon to fight with, but found nothing. He turned to look back at the monster and Seras who had a crazed look on her face as she watched him.

"Why did you do this!?" He screamed at her, which made the tentacle pause but didn't loosen the grip on his ankle.

"Huh?" Seras titled her head to the side in bewilderment, as if he wasn't making sense.

"I can understand wanting to kill me, but why them!" He shouted. "They all liked you, thought of you as part of them and protected you… why did you kill them?"

Seras eyes widened at his words. there was a long pause before Seras broke the silence with a burst of loud laughter.

"Y.. !... You really thought that I give a damn about what they thought about me?" She continued laughing, which angered David further. "Listen here buddy, in this…world?...dimension? whatever this place is that we are trapped in is either kill or be killed…"

Her demeanor became serious.

"I was like you when I got here. I found others like me, we decided to work together but it was me who did most of the work." Her nose wrinkled in anger. "I helped them, saved them and thought of them as a family and what do they do?... They fucking use me as a bait to lure the other killers while they take my supplies, weapons and escape!"

She was so filled with anger that she punched the stone wall behind her and she huffed. The force cut her skin and cause her to bleed but then and purr like sound came from the monster as he used his long arm to bring the blonde closer to him then lifted her bloodied knuckles to his lips so he can lick her wounds. His action made a warm smile to appear on Seras's face.

"But then…I met my master." she continued. "He saved me from those psychos, brought me and kept me safe here…and what better way to repay him than bring him his meals to him instead of bothering to go and hunt them himself."

David was now the one laughing, making Seras glare at him but her master seemed unfazed.

"You stupid bitch!" He shouted. "He is only using you… you go out there bringing innocents to die at his hand, to what….repay him?... It will not take long before you become the one who dies by the same hands you serve so loyally."

Seras eyes widened at his words and David gave a victorious grin at that. At least even if he died now he will have the joy of shattering her little heaven. But his grin and any sense of victory were gone when he saw a happy twisted smile forming and what looked like an aroused blush spread across her face.

"I don't mind!" She moaned her words. "Dying by the hands of my master?... Such a wonderful dream."

She then turned to the monster and wrapped her shorter arms around him, pressing her body as much as she can to his.

"Master, please kill me!" She pleaded. "If I was going to die here…please be my death!"

With a pleased toothy grin, the monster let out a deep growl before holding the back of Seras's head and bringing her for another deep kiss, but this one was more intense and aggressive that David could see blood seeping out from between their locked lips. These were psychos, they were worse than the once outside. A monster and his servant who lure desperate survivors to them with the promise of salvation only to be met with pain and death. David was broken from his thoughts when he felt his foot being pulled again but this time upward. Panic felt him as he saw more tentacles come towards him, each one gripping part of his limp and then pull. They pulled him apart in such a slow manner as he felt his bones dislocate and his flesh tear. David let out cries for help but no one came. He screamed in agony as he felt his left arm tear away from his body, the rest will shortly follow it. Giving in to the fact that there is no way of escaping for him, he looked down at the monster and his whore who gave him a small wave goodbye before everything turned black.
