A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, everybody! It's good to get critics, y'know. And I'm so sorry for the big delay. But my life's been so messy, so I lost the interest a little. But now I'm back! And I'm sorry for the spelling/grammar errors, as usual!

Chapter 5: Even more problems

"What the hell are you doing!" Gaia yelled, her voice shivering with fear. "Have you gone insane?"

She stared att Terence and he coldly stared back at her. She didn't want to die. I mean, 29 years old and then I go and get myself killed by a crazy serial killer or something like that! But she didn't think that she was too young to die. It was such a typical line that someone said in a situation like this. But she wasn't neither going think nor say it.

Fear is such a strong feeling. It was the feeling she could feel creeping under her skin right now. Fear. Gaia bit herself in the lip and felt the taste of blood in her mouth. But she didn't care. Drops of perspiration slowly ran down from her forehead as her pulse increased. Why me? echoed through her head.

"Isn't it pretty obvious what I'm doing?" Terence snapped sarcastically. "I'm going to blow your brains out!"

Gaia incomprehensibly shook her head and tried to talk. But she couldn't say anything. "You have gone insane." was the only thing she finally managed to whisper, taking a step backwards. She wanted to scream "but I don't wanna die, you bastard!" but she just couldn't.

But then she tried to calm down. He got to be joking! He couldn't first save her life from that monster dog and then blow her brains out. Or could he? After all, no one jokes about such serious things.

A thought suddenly struck her and her eyes narrowed. "Were you the one who pursued me?" She accusingly pointed at the man in front of her. Now it was Terence's turn to incomprehensibly look at her. His cold face got a confused expression, but only for a second.

"What are you talking about?" he hissed and hit Gaia's pointing hand with his available hand. Then Gaia condescendingly laughed and tried to repress the fear.

"Oh, you know very well what I'm talking about!" She smiled for catching him. "You've been pursuing me all the way here! I mean, who else would it be? There's no one else in this damn town! Now you got really surprised for me catching you, huh?" The words just flowed out of her mouth and Terence wrinkled his forehead.

"Gaia, shut up! I have no idea what you're –"

BOOM!

One of the walls seemed to explode; brick, insulation and stuff like that flied into the library.

"What the hell!" Terence exclaimed and removed the gun from Gaia's forehead. She couldn't help but sigh with relief when he did. But the relief didn't last for a long time. A huge creature stood where the wall had been just a couple of seconds before. It looked like an over-sized bear without fur. Parts of it's flesh had been sewn together so it wouldn't hang in scraps from the body. Blood seemed to leak from it's body and the eyes were missing. Instead, there were two, dark gaping holes just above the nose. The nose was also over-sized and it had a strange, rusty colour. The mouth was wide open and it revealed long, sharp teeth. The left arm was missing as well while the right arm was too long and ended in razor sharp claws that almost reached down to the floor. It furiously looked at Gaia and Terence and angrily snarled.

It was too much for Gaia. She freaked out.

"What the hell is that!" she yelled in a shrill tone and her voice went up in falsetto. "And don't say that it's just 'a freak' like you've done before! I demand to know what it is that's wrong with town!" She breathed violently, looking at the creature all the time. "Now!"

"Can't you shut up for just one second!" Terence angrily hissed and furiously looked at her. "Thanks to your yelling we'll definitely die or at least get serious injuries!" He pointed at the grotesque creature.

"Shit!" Gaia hissed between her teeth as she saw how hungrily the bear like creature looked at them. It licked itself on it's lips, except that it didn't have any lips. The tongue was split and looked like it belonged in a snakes mouth. "Shit!"

The creature snorted before it rushed against the pair.

"Run!" Terence yelled and spun around and ran away. Gaia couldn't do anything but follow him between countless rows of bookshelves.

She could hear how bookshelf after bookshelf overturned as the beast rushed after them. She quickly glanced over her shoulder. The fear tightened it's grip around her and she thought it would strangle her when she saw how the creature overturned a bookshelf as easy as if it would've been a piece of plastic. Hon forced her legs to run faster and she threw a door open that said 'EXIT'. It was then she realized that Terence was missing. She cursed under her breath.

Gaia came out in an alley and slammed the door shut after her. Now she was saved. Her throat burned after the sudden run. She leaned against a house wall of tree and took a breather. Now, she was safe.

But she didn't have time to catch her breath until the door flew off it's hinges. The door flew into the wall that Gaia leaned herself against. It landed only a few centimetres away from her. She goggled att the door as it fell down on the ground. Then, she looked up at the wall. Cracks had formed on the grimy wall. Gaia turned her attention to the doorway where the door had been only seconds before. Now, the bear like creature was there. It hungrily looked at her with it's non-existing eyes as it bent down and started to squeeze it's way through the narrow doorway.

Gaia watched with wide open mouth as the beast struggled to squeeze out of the building. She was paralyzed with terror. Scraps of the flesh that hadn't been sewn together was torn of the creature as it tried to squeeze through the doorway. It wasn't until it managed to stretch out it's right arm and wave with the claws against Gaia that she began to run. She could hear how the creature furiously roared. But she didn't care. Right now she had only one thing in mind; to run for her life.

When she came out on a street she ran to the right. She noticed how the flashlight fell out of her pocket. It loudly landed on the pavement. A low "fuck!" escaped her clenched teeth, but she continued running. Then she heard the heavy, fast steps behind her. That thing is coming closer and closer! she desperately thought. She tried to increase her speed but instead, she realized she had trouble keeping it up. Gaia blindly ran up the street and thought her heart was going to explode in her chest. How could that enormous thing run so fast? Gaia started to get a stitch and it stabbed her like a knife in her side. She could barely breath in the heavy fog, but she clenched her teeth and continued running in spite of the fact that the fear almost caused her legs to yield for every step.

This was, undeniably, the absolutely most appalling thing Gaia ever had experienced in her whole life. Tears started to gather in the corners of her eye's. She just couldn't do this. She was going to die here and now because of some bloody monster that had jumped right out of a horror game. Gaia couldn't see where she ran as she got blinded by the tears. She angrily blinked and forced the tears to disappear. She managed to see the railing in front of her. Then she understood where she was; in Rosewater Park.

She sharply stopped dead. Gaia was about to change direction when the bear creature rushed into her and sent her flying. The woman flew into the fragile railing as it yielded to her weight. Pain was sent to every nerve in her body. She felt how she fell backwards and she saw how the creature angrily roared after her. The fog surrounded her and for one second, she could have sworn that it had turned red. Red like blood. But then, it was normal again. The only thing she saw was the thick, grey fog and the cold bit her cheeks. Gaia started to panic and she screamed.

I'm going to die, was the last thought that quickly flew through her head before she fell down into the murky water in Toluca Lake.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Yeah, I know it's a little wrong with the lake, but you'll hade to live with that. I'm going to try to hurry up with the next chapter. Don't forget to review!
