Freddy vs. Jason: Bloodlust
(A/N: Thanks to TAINTEDLOVE1328 and fanfiction fanatic, who reviewed the last two chapters, glad you're enjoying!)
Alicia screamed as Kaylin turned her head to look at her. Her once beautiful face was a dark and sick grey and her eyes as white as bone. Blood drizzled from between her lips and when she spoke, the voices of countless others replaced her natural voice.
"Join us…" Kaylin groaned as she reached out for her girlfriend, who batted her hand away and backed off. Alicia stared in horror as Kaylin wrenched the door off its hinges and tossed it aside as if it were nothing more than cardboard.
"W-what's happened t-to you…?" Alicia stammered, still staring at Kaylin, who slid out of the mangled Tacoma.
"Nothing sweetie…come give me a hug…" Kaylin replied, slowly advancing towards her. Alicia continued to back away from her; something was obviously wrong. Kaylin wasn't herself, but why? "I said come give me a hug!" Kaylin roared, lunging at Alicia and wrapping her fingers around her throat. Alicia struggled to push her partner away as well as straining to breathe, Kaylin's strength had increased tenfold and she was putting severe pressure onto Alicia's windpipe. Fearing for her life, and realising that this was not her girlfriend, the young girl wept as she brought the machete up and hacked down on Kaylin's left arm.
The possessed girl didn't even flinch as the razor-sharp blade cut down through her flesh and into the bone. The machete found it's target three times, blood gushed everywhere and Alicia kicked frantically at Kaylin's body, trying to push her off. Only then did she let go, her arm dangling by a few ligaments. Another kick sent her to the ground, howling in a frenzied laughter. Alicia stared at the cackling creature that lay in the dirt before her, writhing on the floor as if she just heard the funniest joke in the world. She took another step back, not wanting to be anywhere near this thing.
"This has to be a dream…" She whispered to herself. As she moved back she bumped into something soft, the young girl jumped and glanced down at Jason before quickly moving away. Suddenly, the monster twitched. Alicia stared at him as his head snapped around and stared up at her with empty, pallid eyes.
Ash revved his chainsaw as the surrounding deadites closed in on him. Those who dared venture closer than the others lost fingers, hands, arms - whatever body parts Ash could get at. A man, hungry for flesh, leapt on Ash's back and attempted to bite the back of his head. The veteran deadite-slayer ducked his head down, placed the barrel of his shotgun on his shoulder and blasted a hole in the creature's face, which fell backwards to the tarmac road. Ash looked around for an escape route, a gap in the deadites' formation, but there was none. He was, quite literally, walled in by countless monsters, which seemed to just stand and stare at him, enjoying the fear in his eyes.
The road lit up suddenly and Ash spun around, shielding his eyes from the full-beam headlights of the Delta '88 Oldsmobile that tore through the flock of deadites like a knife. The car tossed them through the air like rag dolls; they bounced off the road and slowly got back up, making their way back towards Ash. The car skidded to a halt in front of Ash and the back door swung open, an auburn-haired boy stuck his head out and looked up at him.
"Get in!" He yelled, gesturing for Ash to do just that. Considering is options, Ash quickly nodded.
"Don't have to tell me twice." He dived into the car just before it sped off again into the horde of walking dead. The back door of the Delta was swiftly closed as it struck a lone deadite, sending it sprawling along the road.
"Jesus, Halloween come early?" The boy exclaimed as he stared at the chainsaw on Ash's arm, who then flicked the switch to cut the engine power.
"So, what's your story?" The driver asked, glancing at Ash through the rear-view mirror. Ash looked at him and leant back in his seat.
"I just got attacked by those things…"
"No, I meant your get-up."
"It's…a long story…" Ash sighed. The young blonde girl in the passenger seat turned to him and eyed his weapons.
"It's a long way to the highway mister, we've got time and nothing better to do."
"Fine…just don't look at me as if I'm nuts." He replied.
"Believe me man, nothing is more nuts than what we just saw." The driver chimed in. Ash snickered and wiped his face with the sleeve of his shirt.
"Yeah…I guess you're right. Well to start off with, my name's Ash…"
He told the three teenagers his story. How he spent two nights in a cabin in the woods, being haunted and tormented by the very things they were making into road kill. He told them about Cheryl, Scotty, Shelly and…Linda…he tried not letting his emotions show through as he spoke about his girlfriend's terrible fate, but the other three teenagers could see he was distraught.
"So…we just need to cut them up?" The girl in the passenger seat asked.
"Into itty-bitty pieces..." Ash replied bitterly, glancing out of the window. He watched the deadites zip past as the car exceeded 40mph, colliding with the odd deadite, spraying blood and sending the bodies flying overhead. The driver nonchalantly flicked the windscreen wipers on, they squeaked as the wipers swept the blood away and left light-red streaks across the glass. "…but it won't be as easy as it sounds."
"Why not? You've lasted against them and we just have to not get bitten, then we won't be one of them." The boy sitting next to Ash retorted. He looked at the boy with something near to contempt before looking back out the window.
"They're not zombies…most of them aren't even dead, you won't become one of them by being bitten."
"So how DO you become one of them?" The driver asked.
"There's a spirit…an evil force that possesses and twists the human body and mind, anyone can turn into a deadite."
"That what they're called? Deadites?" Ash nodded and filled his shotgun with shells before snapping it shut.
"Yeah…I just wanna get my hands on the asshole that let these demons loose." The blonde girl sunk in her seat and sighed heavily, rubbing her arms lightly. She thought back to that night, what she saw; what she dreamt.
"I-I think I know…" Everyone's attention shot to her, silence fell upon the group.
"Who?" Ash demanded to know. The girl sighed again and shut her eyes, trembling in fear.
"Freddy Krueger…"
Alicia screamed and dropped the machete as Jason shot his sightless gaze up to her; Kaylin was still howling in laughter, thrashing around on the floor amongst the dirt, dead leaves and the blood that gushed from her arm. The mighty behemoth raised his arms and brought them down onto the hood of the Tacoma with terrifying force, burying his hands deep into the metal covering and the engine beneath. Alicia stared in horror before turning on her heel and running back towards the road she came down from. As she passed her cackling girlfriend, she felt something tug at her foot and anchor her down; Kaylin gripped her ankle tightly, and started to crush the bone.
"Join us…!" She growled. Alicia screamed in horror and pain as she clenched her fists and brought down punishing blows to Kaylin's head, trying to make her let go. The sound of groaning metal rang through the trees as Jason wrenched the pickup off the ground. Alicia frantically beat the deadite that weighed her down, knowing what Jason was planning to do. Voorhees got to his feet, the shattered vehicle held tightly in his iron grip, he swung it to his left before launching it forwards towards the two girls. Alicia fell silent as the Toyota Tacoma hurtled towards her at an intense speed and with reflexes she didn't know she had, fell backwards onto her back as the truck rocketed over her and smashed into a tree, ripping both the pickup and the tree in half. Adrenaline coursed through Alicia's veins and she would have started running again, had Kaylin not crawled on top of her.
"Kaylin, please!" She screamed as she tried pushing the possessed girl off her.
"Join us Alicia…we can be together…" The voices groaned as blood and puss dripped from Kaylin's mouth.
"N-no!" Alicia cried out as Kaylin grabbed her left arm and pinned it to the ground, she struggled and screamed against the deadite but it was in vain.
"You always did taste good…" Kaylin rasped before viciously tearing into Alicia's forearm. The girl shrieked and screamed in pain as Kaylin's teeth shredded into her flesh and muscle, blood poured from the wound, soaking into the two girls' clothes. Jason watched as they fought each other, he would have relished watching Kaylin destroy her former lover, though he much preferred doing it himself. The monster glanced down and picked up his machete, dark blood dripped from the blade. Jason liked it; he wanted more.
Alicia screamed and wept and tried beating Kaylin off her, but it was no use, her punches must have felt like nothing to the near invulnerable deadite girl. Sick gurgling noises came from Kaylin as she chewed her victim's flesh and lapped up her blood as if it were water, all humanity Kaylin had within her had completely dissipated, there was nothing left now but this bloodthirsty demonic predator which was bent on devouring the wounded and horrified teenager who was trapped beneath her. Jason, not being able to control his need for blood, strode over to them with his weapon in hand.
Jason felt something within him, a twinge, in his head, telling him to do terrible things to these girls. It wasn't unusual, there was always a voice telling him to commit such atrocities, or to deliver punishment, whichever your view on his actions. But this time it was…different, the voice had changed, it was no longer the silent whisper in the back of his mind. Now it was a screaming, howling cluster of tortured and warped voices, none of which Jason could focus on. It was maddening and served to enrage Voorhees further, but maybe it was that that the demons of Kanda wanted.
Teeth found bone as Kaylin chewed through Alicia's arm, who by now was in such a state of shock she felt hardly anything at all. She had long since given up the struggle since there was no way she could fight Kaylin off. Alicia shut her eyes and waited for the inevitable to happen, she was going to die by the hands of her girlfriend, there was no stopping it. Her eyes snapped open once again as a piercing shriek tore through Alicia's ears. She stared up at Jason, who had thrust his machete into Kaylin's back, the blade lodged in one of her ribs. Voorhees yanked the weapon from the girls' body and lifted it over his head, staring down at Alicia. Her eyes widened as she saw the blade slice through the air towards her face, she gathered all the strength in her and shifted to the left. A loud chink sounded as Jason embedded the machete's blade into the earth, blood gushing from the wound in Alicia's arm.
Kaylin writhed in pain on top of her, blood gushed from her mouth and the deep lesion in her back. Not even pausing to think, Alicia pushed Kaylin off her and rolled away from them, dirt and leaves flew everywhere as she scrambled to her feet and ran to the knoll leading up to the road, ignoring the searing pain in her ankle. The adrenaline rush was getting more intense, she ran so fast and so hard she failed to notice something was missing.
"What can we use against them?" The blonde girl asked Ash as he checked the remaining shells he kept in a leather pouch on his belt.
"Well this car's doing pretty well for now," he replied "but we should find something else, something bigger." The driver glanced in the mirror and turned off onto a sliproad before speaking up.
"There's this huge army surplus store on the other side of the highway." He said. Ash snickered and leant back in his seat.
"How convenient…hey…what are your names? I've told you my life story and you haven't even given me that." The boy sitting next to Ash laughed.
"Sorry man, we kinda forgot in all the excitement." He grinned. "I'm Neil, the fine-looking lady in the front is Cathy…"
"You'd better be calling me a lady." Cathy chimed in; Neil reached over and ruffled her hair.
"Sure you are. Anyway, the one who's driving experience comes from playing Grand Theft Auto is Daniel." Daniel glared at Neil through the rear-view mirror.
"You're one to talk, 'least I didn't total a bumper car." Neil was about to retort when Ash cut in.
"Alright kids, quit squabbling. Just get us to that store."
The pain in Alicia's ankle was burning even more as she struggled to run up the hill to the road, she fell forward and stuck her arms out in front of her to stop herself. Horror struck her heart as she realised that only one arm was holding her up from the ground. She glanced back at the two creatures just as Jason wrenched his machete from the ground. Kaylin had gotten to her feet, holding Alicia's severed arm in her mouth. The teenager started to scramble up the knoll as fast as she could, with Jason and Kaylin closing the gap between them. Kaylin, being the smaller and faster of the two, sped up the knoll towards Alicia, still with the arm between her teeth.
The world blurred around the girl as she gripped the ground with her remaining arm and tugged herself over the brow of the hill onto the side of the road, leaving a dark crimson streak on the grass. She scrambled to her feet and stumbled into the empty road, with Kaylin hot on her heels Alicia sobbed and limped across the highway without noticing the set of full-beam headlights speeding towards her. Kaylin leapt into the road towards Alicia and was about to attack her one last time before a Delta '88 Oldsmobile smashed into her, sending the deadite flying over the roof of the car and crashing down to the asphalt road. The tyres of the vehicle squealed as Daniel slammed the brakes down hard; leaving tyre marks on the highway. Ash flung the passenger door open and got out. Alicia stared at him and the car in disbelief, she was sure she was going to die that night, but thanks to these people, she might survive a little longer.
"Get in." Ash ordered the girl, who was on her way to the car before he even said anything. She was halfway through the doorway when she noticed a dark figure standing outside the window next to an auburn-haired boy. She didn't have time to react before Jason thrust his hand through the window and grabbed the boy by his throat. Cathy screamed and shot forward, pressing herself against the dashboard, she'd dare not try to get out her door, Jason might grab her as well. Neil gagged and grabbed the tree-trunk arm that was squeezing the life out of him, he tried pulling Jason's hand off, but his efforts were fruitless against the monsters colossal strength. Daniel grabbed Cathy's hand and shot out of his door, dragging his friend with him. Alicia stood, frozen in fear, she was tired and weak from running, the world around her blurred and spun as she continually lost blood from what was left of her arm.
Ash cocked his shotgun and was about to approach Jason when Kaylin shot out from behind him and grabbed his head, pulling him back screaming into the shadows of the trees.
"Ash!" Cathy cried out, she tried going after them but Daniel held her back.
"…Guys…" Neil choked "…a little help…" Jason tightened his grip and Neil rasped coarsely, struggling to breathe. Daniel let Cathy go, who stayed with Alicia, he opened the drivers door and took out the steering-wheel lock he always kept under the seat. The teenager hurried over to Jason and swung the lock around and struck him hard in the back of the head, causing the Crystal Lake killer to stumble forward onto the car. He let Neil go and turned his attention to the boy who just assaulted him. Neil spluttered and fell to his side, wheezing and coughing blood over the car seat. Cathy quickly reached through the door and grabbed him before dragging the boy out of the car onto the road, keeping him steady on his feet.
Screams, howls and gunshots came from the woods as Ash and Kaylin viciously fought each other. Ash screamed in pain as he was tossed against a tree, blood trickled down the side of his head from the gash the tree had caused. The teenagers on the road heard a brief silence before the loud and almost reassuring roar of a chainsaw engine rose above the canopy.
Daniel squared-off against Jason as the goliath-esque monster lunged towards him, the 19-year old dodged his grasp and struck him again with the steering-wheel lock.
"Who the hell is this guy!" He yelled as Jason shrugged off the attack. Daniel backed off and ran back to the girls and Neil, who was slowly catching his breath.
"Th-That's Jason…" Alicia stammered, fighting to keep conscious. Daniel stared at her before looking back at Jason, who was slowly making his way around the car.
"Jason Voorhees!" He cried out. "Shit…"
