Once again the group and I started to head into the darkness. Our shoes echoed as they collided with the ground. Every noise we make is amplified a thousand fold. You could even hear the sweat from our faces hit the ground with a splash. None of us truly new what we were in for but we did not have a choice. I couldn't help but think about Laura. What is she doing? Has the zombies attacked her yet? Has she become zombie? A thousand questions filled my mind, many I did not have answers to and many more I will probably never know. The only thing I was sure of was that I wanted to get out of this hell.
"Hold on I heard a noise"
Chris held up his hand in a fist about ear level. We all stopped. Kiah and Chris were the only ones who actually looked confident. Chris pointed to a dark figure.
"Gene go take a look, I have your back"
I hesitated for a second but pulled myself together and started towards the figure. The closer I got the more I began to relies it wasn't human. I stopped in shock. What the fuck? Ran through my head. I signaled over for Chris. It looked like the thing was dead. I bent down slightly to examine it.
"Gene, what is it"
"Take a look at this. What the hell do you think it is"
"What I see nothing, just a pool of blood"
I turned my head back to look at the abomination but it was gone. A pool of blood took its place. I felt the blood and it was still warm.
"I swear it was right here"
Chris just shook his head and started to head back towards the group. I followed right behind him. I can't wait to get back to base.
After the slight diversion we set back out. I was at wits end. I had all I could take and hoped we wouldn't run into anything more.
"Look, a red light"
I ran a bit closer.
"It's an exit sign"
I turned around to signal the others to come. They just stood there ghostly pale in the red light. Jena let out a scream and pointed towards me. I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like a man was gargling his own blood mixed with a howl. I turned my head slightly and there it was, the abomination. I don't know where the shot came from but it nearly hit the monster. The only thing that kept it from a bullet between the eyes were its speed. It quickly jumped up and attached itself to the ceiling. I took aim and fired three shots.
"What the fuck is it! Fucking get this away from me"
I began to sprint towards the door while still shooting at the monster. It had six legs with huge claws on four of them allowing it to attach itself to walls. The two in the middle looked like small human hands, about the size of a small child's. It had a mouth full of razor sharp fangs which resided in a long snout. Four eyes sat upon the snout and it all was attached to a body.
I kept running until I felt the cold metal door on my hands.
"Get over here"
I took aim and shot at the abomination who was now heading for Chris. Chris was about to take out his knife for close combat but was interrupted by the thing flying across the room by a shotgun blast. About half of the monster was blown to pieces. As it laid their twitching the others ran past it. I looked around to see were the blast had come from but I found nothing. The others arrived and we got prepared for the next room.
