The girls raced down the dirt road to find the boys when they suddenly heard yelling as they came into view, running straight for them.
"Go back!" Alex waves as they ran, grabbing the girls hands as they ran, dragging them back to the main site.
"What happened?" they ask as they reached the site.
"What's going on? Did you find Wayne?" Trish asks while the boys grabbed their bags.
"Jack is missing too now. There was blood in the tent." anita says.
"Oh we found them alright." Tommy growls.
"Look no more questions. We have to get the hell out of here." alex says pushing their bags into their hands and taking Trish's hand and dragging her to the car.
"Start the car." he orders as they climb in their vehicles.
Anita rushed to the jeep and hopped in with Sam and turned the ignition. The jeep sputtered, as if the battery was dead.
"What the fuck? This is a new battery!" anita mutters as she tried again and again.
"The car won't start!" Trish suddenly says getting out and running to the jeep.
"Neither is the van." Tommy says running up.
"Fuck! Fuck this! Lets just hike out of here." Sam says.
"We cant, the nearest town in 70 miles from here." anita says.
"She's right. Whoever or whatever did that to them would pick us off one by one." Alex says.
"Well im not fucking staying here! I'll take my chances out there then sitting here and waiting to get butchered." Tommy shouts as he runs past the car.
"Tommy no!" Sam shouts just as he rushed past the van.
As soon as he passed the back, he suddenly stopped and gurgled, bending forwards as he went limp. The group all screamed as the body was lifted in the air. Alex reached in Anita's jeep and grabbed the flare gun from the compartment, shooting it at the invisible figure. It made contact with what became a shoulder.
The figured appeared, the invisibility phasing into a tall man with a metal mask. He had to be 7 foot, with green and gold skin and brown marks across his body. The metal mask had a large forehead and it looked like he had hair, ling black leather like dreads. It was obviously male with large build and even larger arms.
When he solidified, he looked at his shoulder and growled low, sending shivers of fear down their spines. The he roared loudly, causing them to cover their ears as they back away from him. He lifted Tommy's body up and threw him across the site smashing his head into a tree. Then he slowly began to storm to them.
"Run, run!" Alex shouts as he shoots the flare at him again, this time hitting his face.
It temporarily blinded the being, causing him to double over and roar in irritation and pain. While he was distracted, the four of them piled in the van around the corner of the jeep and huddled in the back, shutting and locking the doors.
"What the hell was that thing?" Sam whispers.
"He didn't look human. Maybe some kind of alien."
"Are you fucking kidding me right now? That is just some maniac in a mask that's all" Trish grumbles quietly.
"Humans don't sound like that you dip shit!" Sam hissed.
"Sh! Quiet, quiet." Alex says as they all grow silent.
They froze as they heard footsteps outside, roaming around. Anita heard the sickening clicking and growling that immitted from his throat as he walked by.
"Does anyone have any weapons on them?"
"Tommy has a gun stashed under the passenger seat in the front." Sam says as she points to the shiny silver gun peaking out of the seat from the front.
Alex slolwy crawls over, careful not to rock the van and pushed the bead curtain gently, reaching for the gun. Then he froze, pulling back quickly and sitting back.
"He's right outside the door." He whispers.
"Shit! What do we do now?"
"Anybody have a cellphone?"
"No signal." Trish says shaking her head.
"...i have a satellite phone in the jeep. I can called Peters and Burke." She says to Sam.
"Are you crazy? You cant go out there with that thing running around." Sam clips out.
"I have to try. It may be the only way out of here." anita replies and moves to the door, inhaling deeply and opening it quietly as she could.
Then she peaked through and looked around. The humanoid was nowhere to be found. She even looked on the roof. She slowly got out of the van and pushed it shut, keeping her head down as she raced around the van to the jeep, slipping in the front seat and digging through her backpack, smiling in relief as she found the phone. She then pulled the card from the visor and began to dial the numbers.
When she was about to press send, a loud bang came from the front of the jeep and she shrieked as the creature on top of it, growling at her. She jumped out of the truck and ran as she pressed send. As she ran through the dirt road, the phone rang maybe once before she heard a voice come from the other end.
"Miss Foster?" Peter's voice asks.
"Peters, help!" she shouted as she ran.
As soon as she spoke, she heard a loud roar behind her. She screamed as she was suddenly yanked up by the back of her shirt and flung across the site onto the ground, dropping the phone to his feet. He stepped on the phone, crushing it into pieces and growling at her.
"Anita!" she heard and the monster was suddenly stabbed in the thigh.
The tip of the fire poker shot through his skin and green liquid spewed out. He fell to his knees as Alex ran around him, helping Anita stand and run past the humanoid. Before they could get far, Alex was suddenly yanked back with a yelp and lifted up by the back of his neck.
"Run!" he yelled.
Then suddenly, the humanoid impaled him with his blade, shooting through his sternum and causing him to cough on his own blood.
"NO!" anita cries as she was lifted off the ground and forced to run away from the scene. The humanoid saw the three females run and let go of the male, letting out a mighty roar. The hunt was over, the chase had begun.
After the three girls managed to run back to the jeep and turned the ignition to see if it worked. Thankfully it turned on immediately.
"Hurry get in!" she says as she climbs in the drivers side and buckles while the others climb in.
"Go, go, go!" Trish shouts smacking the seat.
Anita burnt rubber, speeding through the camp sites and out to the gate.
"Hold on!" she bellows as she pushed harder, smashing through the gate, breaking the rusted metal apart as they swerved onto the road and away.
The humanoid glared after the them from above a cliff, activating his cloaking device and clicking under his mask in a mock chuckle. This was going to be fun.
