Chapter 6: Into The Darkness
Darkness surrounded him as the light had faded away entirely. The lantern needed some fuel, which he hoped to find soon, so for now it was useless. He continued along the row of houses, gun drawn and ready to strike. "I can't see a damn thing!" Lightning illuminated the sky as he thought to himself, showing the pathway ahead for a brief moment. Light rain was still falling when he realized he'd left his coat behind. "No time to go back for it now..." The smoke seemed to be growing closer. "Maybe lightning struck a tree or something." Another flash of lightning and he caught a glimpse of something moving up ahead. "Hmph, I'm probably just seeing things," he whispered to himself, turning off the safety just in case. Continuing forward, a strange feeling came over him, like he was being watched. A shadow lunged out in front of him, nearly grabbing his throat. Lit up by the lightning at the last second, he dodged the crazed villager that stood before him. "Fuck! They're back!!," he yelled, aiming carefully and firing two rounds at it's skull before it went down. Realizing the danger had returned, he knew there was no other option than to fight. He needed to find a source of light before it was too late. "Maybe there's a flashlight I missed in one of the houses," he muttered quietly. The church was on the far side of the town from where he stood. "I really need to get to the church! If she's in there, I may not have long before they..." His thoughts trailed off before he could finish, and he moved on. Again, the smoke seemed closer by the smell of it. Lightning filled the sky once more, and revealed four more villagers about twenty feet away. He stopped and carefully took aim, waiting for the next flash of light, knowing there wasn't much time left before they would be upon him. Firing blindly, he let off three shots before he could see them again. Ten feet away, only two were left standing. "Well, at least I had a couple lucky shots." Complete darkness again, he waited. He could almost feel their presence next to him, carefully backing away in case they were too close when he could see again. The moonlight filled the sky, gently lighting the area where he stood; the storm was letting up a bit. Emptying the rest of the clip, he took down the remaining two. Luckily, they didn't have a chance to throw an axe and stab him with a pitchfork they carried. Barely out of arm's reach in front of him, another appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him around the neck from behind. No chance to reload, he broke free from it's grasp and rolled forward on the ground, aiming back as he stopped. He forgot to reload, realizing only after he heard the "click" four times. "Shit! I don't have time for this." Dropping the handgun, he pulled out the rusty knife and stood up. "Choke this, you crazy bastard!," he yelled as he drove it into it's skull, breaking the knife off at the handle. It fell to the ground next to his handgun, and he grabbed it quickly before it could even try using it against him. "I don't know if these damn -things- can use a gun or not, but I sure as hell don't wanna find out!" Loading a fresh clip, he put on the safety and brought out some heavier firepower: the shotgun. The darkness took over once more as the clouds covered his only source of light. Halfway to the church, he heard a loud crack as lightning struck somewhere up ahead. Running forward, he glanced at his watch. A long time left until dawn. The storm picked up at that moment, and the rain fell harder, making him wish he hadn't left his coat behind. "The church isn't too far now, and I haven't seen any more for awhile." Behind him and in front of him there were groups of villagers; waiting as though they'd planned to ambush him there from the start. His shotgun fully loaded, he was prepared to take them all on. Firing four shots, two on each group, he took out about half, and the rest dodged out of the way. "What the hell? They can't die, AND they can dodge bullets?" Climbing up a ladder next to him, he decided to ambush them instead. The rest gathered around, trying to climb the ladder, but he kicked the ladder down before they could get up to him. Finishing off the last shells in the shotgun, he decided to save the rest for later and use the Uzi on the remaining five. No problems with the safety this time, he fired quickly, taking three out immediately, and missing two before he had to reload. A grenade came flying his way and he shot it before it was too close, causing it to explode in mid-air. Putting away the Uzi, he pulled out one of the primitive grenades he'd found earlier and threw it at the last two. One of them caught it, ready to throw it back, but it exploded, blowing it to pieces along with the last villager. Leon stood at the edge, not sure whether there were more, but knew he had to get down. He carefully hung over the ledge and dropped to the ground a few feet below. The church was only twenty yards down the path, so he jogged the rest of the way. Carefully, he removed both wooden panels, revealing the imprints he'd seen in the picture. "Great, now I can get into the church!" He placed both objects into their proper place, and waited. A click came from the solid panel, and it slid open to reveal a normal door behind. Before he could check to see if it was unlocked, a loud crash came from behind, although it didn't sound like lightning. Rushing to the place where the bonfire had burned before, he realized a new fire had been started.
