Trip of a Lifetime

Chapter 4: Jack the Ripper

Night started to set in and Jack was getting thirsty and tired of walking. Suddenly he heard two screams coming from just a couple hundred yards ahead so he started to run. Soon he found himself in front if a training camp, for something he didn't know, and why a camp was in the middle of no where. He walked into the camp and saw two bodies, bound with arms and feet tied, and then suspended above a fire and recognized them as Kyrstin and Roxy.

"Damn! Hey both of you wakeup! We gotta get the hell out of here!" Jack screamed. As Kyrstin and Roxy started to wake up, two of the people from the camp attacked Jack. One of them was about five foot four, other was about six feet tall and towered over Jack.

Jack focused mainly on the big guy first since he looked like the strongest out of the two. The guy had what looked like a club in his hand. He swung the club around and knocked Jack to the ground. The blow caused Jack to shake uncontrollably, but it didn't stop him from pulling out his knife.

Jack screamed out "Take this you fat bastard!" Jack swung his leg around and tripped the guy and jumped up and stabbed him in the heart. The man stood up and staggered around and fell into the fire. The much smaller man turned around and ran off but when he did this another person came face to face with Jack. Jack easily recognized the man by the large slash down his back. It was the man he had supposedly killed earlier in the day.

"How is this possible?" Jack asked. Jack's mind was riddled with many questions with no answers. The man showed no mercy against Jack. As soon as Jack blinked the man struck a devastating blow. Jack didn't wait for anything this time he was just trying to stay alive. The man swung his arm around to try to hit Jack in the head. Jack saw this as a chance to finish the guy off. He ducked and stabbed the man numerous times and slashed his throat. The man fell to the ground and Jack thought to himself,

'How do I get this guy to stop coming back to life?' Jack did the most barbaric thing he has ever known about. He took his knife and started to cut the man's head off. Kyrstin and Roxy were fully awake and Jack threw some dirt on the fire to put it out and cut them down.

"Ok guys you are fully conscious right?"He asked them

"Yes we are." They answered

"Ok well we need to look around this camp to see if there is anything interesting around here and why that guy came back to life." Jack told them

"Ok lets split up." Kyrstin said. Jack started to look around in some tents and found microscopes and microscope slides. Kyrstin found some water and sleeping bags. Roxy found guns and food. They went back to the place where the fire was and sat everything down. Jack picked up the water and took a big swig of it and gave the rest to Kyrstin and Roxy. The girls drank much less when passing it to one another. None of them really touched the food aside from Jack eating a bit of what looked like rice.

Kyrstin and Roxy were recalling what had happened earlier, when Jack took down those men. "Um, Jack?" Kyrstin started to ask, but Roxy tapped her shoulder, shaking her head.

Afterwards, they settled in for the night and went to bed.
