Robyn kicked out just as the demon-like creature came in to make its kill,
and knocked it sideways onto the ground. She clambered to her feet,
listening as the beast growled, and slashed away at her legs.
She hopped out of the way of its grasp and looked around. She was back
outside the alley where the walls had closed in, standing in the middle of
the road. Had that creature just saved her, so it could kill her?
Robyn needed a weapon... fast, and the creature was already back on its feet,
lumbering towards her at an eerie snail space.
There, over by the entrance to the alley, was a piece of broken pipeline.
It was rusted, but looked heavy, as if it could do some real damage if she
hit the monster with it.
Robyn ran around the monster, dodging its new attack by only a few centimetres, and making it to the other side of the road, where the piece of pipeline lay, waiting to be used. She picked it up, and brandished it toward her enemy. "Stay back!" She screamed frantically, tears of fear were running down her cheeks, "If you come any closer I'll whack you, I swear I will!" The monster, however, kept looming closer and closer like some kind of mindless zombie. It raised its bladed arms once more, preparing to attack. But Robyn cut off its attack by swinging the pipe with all her might at its torso. There was an awful cracking noise, where the monsters ribs shattered. It made a gurgling noise, and then fell to the ground. But where Robyn expected there to be utter silence, there was a faint crackling noise dimming away slowly. She followed the noise with her gaze, until she was looking at a radio embedded in the monsters back, held on by loose pieces of flesh. Robyn walked over and used all her might to rip the radio from the flesh, and look at it.
There was a switch, which was set to 'ON', and a dial, which was tuned in to a random frequency. Robyn started toying with the frequency, perhaps trying to find a local radio station; any sign that there were humans around, so that she could find out what the hell was going on. Then, as if an eerie coincidence, the crackling on the radio subsided, and a voice came from the radio. "And now a word from our sponsors" It yelled. The voice was like those cheesy guys who always introduced the new burger king deal. But it sounded somehow dated, and old. Nonetheless, it gave Robyn a sense of hope. Suddenly, a more familiar voice started talking from the radio. "Robyn?" It was her brother, James, "Robyn, are you here yet? I knew you'd come for me... Don't go to the motel yet; I don't think you're ready to see what lies behind the doors. Instead, go to the building site located beyond the museum along Nathan Avenue" And then... Silence.
Robyn was completely stunned... unable to move or speak. She used to think there was so much as a small chance James could be here, but now she was sure of it. The only question was, how the hell did he know where she was? Robyn set the radio back to its original frequency, and placed it back in her pocket, hoping that the crackling would persist if she were in near proximity with another monster. With the heavy, rusted pipe held in her hands, and her newly found radio in her pocket, Robyn continued toward the building site with a heart full of hope... and fear.
