Author's Note: Oh man, was that chapter kinda hard to write... or type, which ever you prefer. I ran through a couple of drafts and finally decided to go with the one that is presented to you today. I will say that the word 'chainsaw' is going to be said here a lot, I mean A LOT! It bugs me, but I honestly have no other way of calling him, besides Mr. Potato head. I would, but it wouldn't really fit in. Anyways, I really do hope you guys enjoy this chapter! :D

Also, I am not sure if everyone noticed that chapter 1 through 4 have had an update, chapter 1 through 3 is mainly fixing the dialogue, and chapter 4 is adding a small thing at the end. So if you wanna see that, then... you can see that, I don't know *LOL* Just read the chapter!

Chapter 5

Things Are Falling Apart Quickly

After closing the door behind them, I heard the chainsaw begin to rev up again. I immediately turned around to see the chainsaw guy coming out of the two story house I got the shotgun from. He was headed towards Kevin and the group.

"Holy sh-" before I had a chance to move, a hatchet flew right in front of my face. I was lucky enough that it missed, but I was too stunned to stop the villager that was coming to grab me.

"¡Te cogí!" the villager yelled as he grabbed me in a full nelson. The pressure from the hold caused me to drop the shotgun. He then lifted me off the ground and slowly turned me around to face a female villager with a kitchen knife. This wasn't looking good for me! She lunged at me, but I was able to pick up my feet up in time and kick her away from me. I got her to fall on the ground, but I still couldn't escape the villager grabbing me.

"Let go of me, fucker!" I yelled, I flailed around, but I still couldn't escape his grasp. "I can't go out like this, damn it!"

I heard a far off scream come from the direction of the group. I think the chainsaw guy had finally gone after them and I couldn't help them! More screams were heard as the noise from the chainsaw echoed in my head, knowing that people were going to die. I saw that the villager I kicked was begin to get up. Is this where I to die? So early in this place? Were we stupid enough to think that we would be able to survive this nightmare? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the villager's grasp. I wasted so much energy trying to get out, that I couldn't lift up my feet anymore. I closed my eyes and accepted what was to come.

I heard a shotgun blast right next to me, I quickly opened my eyes to see the female villager, that was about to kill me, was gone. "Hey Mondo, you drop something?" I looked to my left, as much as I could, and saw Irvin holding the shotgun. Instead of shooting the villager that was grabbing me, which was a smart idea, he smashed the butt of the gun on the villagers head.

"Thanks, but why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the groups?" I asked Irvin.

"Yea, about that, we kinda all ran for our lives when we saw that chainsaw guy coming for us." He replied. "Unfortunately, we lost someone else."

"WHO?" I yelled, anxious to know.

"I...don't know? Not sure who he was, but he was the guy that always had something broken on his body and rode a skate board everywhere, that's all I know." Irvin was never good at giving descriptions about people, whether he knew them or not.

"Dude! That was Johnny!" Irvin's bland face said it all, he absolutely had no idea who Johnny was. "Dam it! If only I was there to help them out!"

"Dude, don't worry. You had problems of your own!" He said, trying to relieve me of the thought.

"Still though..." I thought quickly on the best course of action. "Irvin, do me a favor and go up the ladder in this watch tower. On a little table there may or may not be shotgun shells. I need you to bring those to me."

"Ah, sure I guess." He seemed very confused as to what I wanted him to do, but he still took off to do what I asked him.

"Hey!" I yelled out at Irvin. "Thank you for saving my ass man!"

"No problem, you know I will always be there to back you up! Even with Karla!" he gave me a thumbs up and then went up the watch tower.

"Wait!" I took a step towards Irvin. "What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" It didn't work, he was already going up the ladder to get the shotgun shells or to avoid answering me.

"Mondo!" Someone yelled out. Being distracted by Irvin, I completely forgot that everyone was still in danger. "MONDO!" I heard them yell out again, it must have been Kevin. I looked around and saw him throwing random weapons at the chainsaw guy to stop him from going after Maria, but it was not enough. He had his eyes set on her and he was not about to let her get away. Her only mistake would prove to be her last, she tripped on a random chicken that was running around. I ran as fast I could to stop him, but I was already to late. He slammed down his chainsaw on her, making the kill quick, but still extremely painful to watch.

"DAMN IT!" I shouted. I quickly aimed the shotgun at point blank range and shot. He flew back a couple feet, a small pool of blood began to form around his dead body. "Is she the second person to die?"

"Yea" Kevin replied, clenching his fist tightly.

"Come on we have to gather everyone toget-"

"Hey guys, more villagers are starting to come from the other side of the village" Kevin and I turned around to see who was talking to us. It was Heather, she was just standing there and pointing in the direction of where the villagers were coming from. Surprisingly, she didn't look fazed at all about what was going on. This kind of baffled us both, what is wrong with her? "Are you guys gonna do something or just stand there and look at me like creeps?"

"That's weird bro" Kevin said lightly, completely ignoring what Heather said. Without saying anything to her, Kevin and I went to take care of the villagers. "Mondo, pick up a weapon. We need to conserve the shotgun shells!"

"Fuck.." I whispered to myself.

"You heard me?" He looked back at me.

"Yea! Conserve ammo, got it!" I really didn't want to give up using the shotgun because it was the only thing that was keeping me alive until now. I grabbed the nearest weapon I could find, a hatchet, and prepared myself. I kept the shotgun in my left hand just in case. There were five enemies total, not very good odds, but we had to try.

"Get ready, they're heading towards us." Kevin was holing his ground as one enemy ran at him with a pitchfork. Once he was close enough, before the villager was able to lunge, Kevin ran his sickle into the villager's left arm, making him drop the pitchfork. I saw my opening to attack and slammed the hatchet on the back of his neck. Not decapitating him, but definitely deep enough to where I knew it was a kill. "Nice work." He breathed heavily. I went to go pick up the pitchfork, when three of the four enemies ran after me. I panicked and my only reaction was to use the shotgun. I didn't get the chance to aim correctly or set my stance, so I was knocked on the ground by the force of the gun.

"Shit" I saw the remaining villager coming towards me, ready to attack me with his hatchet.

"You idiot!" Kevin yelled as he ran at the villager. He tackled the villager with all his force, but it was only enough to make him stubble back. Kevin quickly realized that his attack failed and quickly jumped away from him before he got grabbed. Now Kevin was in trouble. I saw another hatchet a couple feet away from me, I quickly crawled to it and stood up to throw it. As it left my grasp, I came to realization that I may hit Kevin instead.

"Look out!" I yelled. I saw the hatchet narrowly miss the villager and go straight for Kevin. I don't know if he heard me or saw it coming, but he was able to drop down to the ground as the hatchet flew past him. Now he was in an even worst position than he was earlier. The villager ran at him, bringing the hatchet back and preparing to strike. Kevin tried to keep his distance by crawling away, but the villager was too fast and Kevin had nowhere to go.

"Die mother fucker!" I saw someone run out of a near by building with a pitchfork ready to strike. The villager stopped and looked at whoever was yelling, distracting him long enough for Kevin to get up and try to take away the hatchet the villager had in his hand. Kevin wasn't strong enough to take it, but he bought the other person enough time to close the gap between the villager and him. Right as the person running lunged with the pitchfork, Kevin moved out of the way again. The pitchfork was buried deep into the villagers chest, making him drop to his knees and then collapse on the ground dead. "You alright, team player?"

"Dennis?" Kevin was surprised to see that someone bothered to help us out. "W-Why are you helping us out?"

"I wanna help out and be a team player like you guys!" he said so enthusiastically. What the fuck is wrong with people?

"Well at least you are proving to be useful." Kevin told him. "We have to-" Kevin was interrupted by Pedro running up to him. "Um, what is it?" Pedro stood there not saying anything, he seemed nervous.

"H... hee... heel?" Pedro struggled to speak out.

"What? What do you need?" Dennis shouted.

"Calm down Dennis, Pedro doesn't speak perfect English." I spoke up. My Spanish wasn't the greatest, but I'm pretty sure neither Kevin or Dennis knew Spanish. I thought of what I needed to say and then try to translate it to him.

"¡Eso! ¡Eso!" He yelled pointing at the shotgun I had in my hand.

"What does that mean?" Kevin asked.

"I believe he is saying 'that, that' or something close to it." I thought even harder about how to respond to that.

"Speak English my friend!" Dennis yelled out, trying to make a really bad Spanish accent.

"Dennis, please don't be racist. He is trying to tell us something" I told him. Dennis' comment wasn't going to help Pedro magically talk English.

"How did he even make it this far?" Dennis asked in disbelief.

"That's not important right now!" I yelled out, slightly frustrated. He was making it really hard to concentrate on my poor Spanish skills.

In all honesty, it wasn't really his fault. He was a really smart kid, good at math, science, and all that other stuff I hate. The problem was that the teachers would also speak to him in Spanish, making it completely pointless for him to really care about learning English correctly. Even the English teachers would talk to him in Spanish, they never picked on him when it came to reading and they would let him write his papers in Spanish as well. Was it favoritism or them just being too lazy to teach? I don't know, but I think it will hurt him in the long run.

"¡Dame eso!" He yelled holding out his hand at me. He seemed very frustrated by our talking, I can kind of see why. I don't know why he wanted it, we have taken out every visible villager at the moment.

"Wh- why do you want this?" I realized I spoke to in English, but he was being kind of aggressive when it came to wanting the shotgun. He began to walk closer to me, trying to reach for the shotgun. "Uh, guys? A little hel-" Pedro hit me with a right hook and knocked me on the ground. Before anyone reacted, Pedro took the shotgun from my hand and took off running.

"Oh shit, you alright?" Dennis said, a small giggle could be heard coming from him.

"Fucking asshole" I was help off the ground by Dennis. "Where did he run off to?"

"This isn't good Mondo" Kevin was standing there looking shocked. I looked and saw the reason why. "How?"

"There is no way he could have survived that!" I yelled as I looked at what was in front of us. Pedro was trying to defend heather from him, but he was struggling to get the shotgun to fire. "That dumb ass hasn't cocked it yet" I whispered to myself. "The chainsaw guy is going to kill him."

"Pedro you idiot, shoot him!" Heather yelled from behind him. Pedro finally figured out that he had to cock the shotgun back before he could fire, but by the time he did, he attacked. Thrusting his chainsaw straight into Pedro stomach and lifted him off his feet, Pedro screamed in pain. Before he died, he made his last dying move, he lifted the shotgun at him and shot. The chainsaw was ripped out of Pedro as the chainsaw guy was sent flying back a couple of feet.

"Shit man" Dennis was the only one to speak up. Kevin and I were still in shock. The chainsaw guy was down once more and Pedro's lifeless body was next to Heather.

"OH MY GOD!" Heather cried out. She was slowly walking away from Pedro's body, until she tripped on her own.

"Damn it, how much longer until they ring the bell?" I asked Kevin. He stood looking even more shock than before, if that was even possible.

"Dude, what the fuck?" Dennis was also in shock as he looked at what Kevin was looking at.

"There is no fucking way..." My mind nearly exploded in disbelief as I saw the chainsaw guy get back up. After two point blank shot, he was still standing and not even struggling. Sure, in the video game he would still be alive, but this was real life and every other villager died with one bullet to the head.

"GUYS, HELP!" Heather cried out again. "GUYS HURRY, HE'S COMING AFTER ME!" he stood up and looked at her for a few moments. Heather was frozen in fear, all she could do was scream.

"B-But w-we shot him point blank with the shotgun! TWICE! How is he still standing!" I looked over to Kevin, but he didn't respond. "Kevin!" He still didn't respond. "KEVIN!" he seemed to snap out of it, but he still didn't say anything. "He is going to kill her, what do we do?"

"There is nothing we can do" he finally responded. The chainsaw guy finally took his eyes off her and looked around for his chainsaw.

"We just can't let her die!" I took a step forward when suddenly, Kevin put a tight squeeze on my shoulder. "What are yo-"

"What do you expect to do?" he told me. That's a good question, what can I do? I don't have the shotgun and even if I did, it didn't have any ammo. Were we really gonna let her die?

"HELP ME!" Heather yelled. As much as she wanted us to help her, she wasn't doing anything to make her situation any better. She just stood there yelling for help instead of running away. "HELP ME!" she yelled out again as she saw the chainsaw guy pick up his chainsaw.

"Damn it" I squeezed my fists as he began to start up his chainsaw. He was struggling, it wouldn't turn on. Now is her chance to run for it. "Run! Run damn it!" I yelled at her, but she still didn't move.

"Save me you fucking idiots!" her words caught me off guard. I looked over to Kevin, who now had a completely different expression than before. He looked furious because of what Heather just said. "Are you guys stupid? Fucking help me!" her attitude completely changed.

"Fucking bitch" I heard Kevin say lightly. I mean, I feel offended just like Kevin by what she said, but at the same time... SHE IS NOT FUCKING MOVING! "That's why Johnny and now Pedro both died..." I looked at Kevin in confusion.

"What do you mean 'that is why they died'?" I asked him. I don't know how Johnny died, but Pedro died trying to save Heather. Does he mean that Johnny died for the same reason? To save her?

"She is the one that got Johnny and Pedro killed! She is the reason why we can't save her! This is all her fault!" Kevin yelled out towards her. "Fucking selfish bitch, you deserve to die!" That finally got Heather's attention. She completely turned around and looked at Kevin with fire in her eyes. She actually looked a lot scarier than the chainsaw guy for a moment.

"Selfish? I'm one of the most important people here! How dare you call me selfish!" she yelled back. "You're probably the most chicken shit kid here! To think everyone is so willing to follow you!" I heard the chainsaw start up in the background, but Heather somehow ignored it. "I follow Rosemarie because she can get any of you disposable idiots to save us!" The chainsaw guy began to walk towards her. "You're gonna be in for a huge surprise, when you find out that you can't save shit! SO GO FUCK YOURSELF!" she gave Kevin the middle figure and turned around to meet her fate. The chainsaw quickly lifted her chainsaw and brought it down on her. "AHHH-" she gave out her last scream as she was ripped apart diagonally from her left shoulder to the right side of her hip.

"Bitch" with Kevin's last work, there was an eerie silence that fell over the village, even the chainsaw seemed to have gone silent. The chainsaw guy stood there towering over his two kills and us just standing there defenseless. There really wasn't anything to say. We just lost another classmate, but was it really her fault for what she did...or ours, for not being better people and saving her? The silence was interrupted by foot steps behind us. It was more villagers coming from a pathway next to the tall tower that Irvin went up earlier. Oh shit Irvin, I completely forgot about him, he may have the shotgun shells that can save us! "Mondo" Kevin called me out, he must have seen the slight movement I made. "There is no point, I think the girls may have failed to ring the bell."

"Are you saying that..." Death was the only other thing I could think of that may have happened to them.

"Yea maybe..." He responded before I could say anything else. We saw the chainsaw guy slowly approach us, his chainsaw still giving off a low rumble.

*Church bell ringing in the distance*

"Huh?" It took me a moment to realized what I just heard, but when I did, it hit me the same way Ted got hit by the truck. "No way..." a small smile crept up on my faces. "They... they actually did it!" A small tear of joy came from my right eye, I honestly thought that we were going to die. One by one we saw the villagers gather towards the door Alexis and everyone else went through. Surprisingly, the door was unlocked. "Well that's dumb, why didn't they lock the door behind them?" Obviously no one answered my question, but I didn't expect a response from anyone here.

"How much longer is this bell gonna keep on ringing? I hate going to church!" Dennis spoke up, trying to ignore it by covering his ears. After a few minutes of the bell ringing, it finally stopped. "Finally! That is much better."

"What do we do next Kevin?" I asked him, completely ignoring Dennis' comment.

"Hey guys! The villagers are all gone now, along with the chainsaw guy!" Kevin yelled out, hoping the surviving classmates would come out from hiding. Surprisingly again, they all came from the building right across the two story building. Kevin waved for everyone to get close.

"Holy shit guys, we survived!" Someone in the back yelled! There was a bit of cheering and laughing going around, but boy were they in for a surprise.

"Guys, while laughing and cheering is good, we are no where near close to getting home." The dire news that Kevin gave, made everyone immediately stop cheering and laughing. "I know it sucks, but this is was just the start... I will say however, that this is one of the hardest things we will have to face anytime soon. So for now, we can relax." the small good news did bring back a bit of moral to everyone. "Now I just want you all to go around and collect as much gold and anything useful that we may need. Ammo, herbs, weapons, anything that can help." The group began to disperse as they all went to look for resources. Kevin then turned around and looked at Dennis and me. "You two, follow me." I gave a bit of a confused pause, but I followed after Dennis.

"Heeeeeeeeeelp" Someone called out in a long drawn out tone. Kevin stopped when he heard someone call for help.

"Who is?" Kevin didn't even know what to say.

"I think I have an idea." I told him. The call came from the tower. "Yup, diffidently him." I sighed. I walked inside the tower and looked up. Inside was Irvin at about a third of the way up the ladder.

"Hey Mondo, how's ah... how's it hangin'?" Irvin said nervously from the ladder.

"What happened?" I asked him in disbelief. "You were so enthusiastic about helping out earlier and now you're here... stuck." I shrugged my shoulders as I said the last part.

"I was... until I lost all the adrenaline and my fear of highs popped up." He was definitely afraid of heights, he was holding on to that ladder for dear life.

"Can you try and get down yourself?" I asked him. There wasn't much I could do. I was not about to risk my life trying to catch him, I barely caught Karla and she was a small girl. Irvin wasn't big, but he was definitely bigger than me.

"Yea, I'll try I guess." he said nervously. With that, I left Irvin to his own problems. Kevin and Dennis went up the path that was next to the tower. They were waiting by a gate at the end.

"Alright, here is my plan. Mondo, since your the only other person with any experience in this game, you will stay here until we get back." Kevin explained.

"Wait what? What kind of plan is that, shouldn't we wait for Alexis and Karla to get back from the church?" I quickly responded.

"Yea, YOU will wait for them. I will head out with Dennis to find Luis Sera, maybe he can provide some incite on how we can get out of here. We will come back quickly so the Chief doesn't catch us."

I hunched my body forward a bit and let my arms dangle at my sides. "HUH?" was all I could say at his ridiculous plan. He was definitely crazy if he thought that plan was going to work. We shouldn't continue to split up into smaller groups.

"Don't worry, just keep things controlled here and I will be back. Just fill in Alexis and Karla when they get back." he tried to reassure me.

"Alright, alright." I complained.

"Don't forget to keep an eye on Rosemarie. Heather may have said that stuff to piss me off, but I wouldn't put it pass Rosemarie to not try something like that." Kevin opened the gate and Dennis followed.

"How the hell am I going to keep everything under control if she does try something?" I yelled out, but Kevin closed the gate behind him. I threw my head back and walked back to the village dragging my feet.

"Mondo!" Irvin called out. He was finally out of the tower. "Here is the shotgun you so carelessly left on the ground." his sarcasm filling the air.

"Yea, thanks" I rolled my eyes at him. Without saying another work, I climbed the ladder to get to the top of the tower. Kevin was right about Rosemarie, she really is on another level of evil. Does that mean that she would get everyone killed just so she could survive a little longer? Could she really be that evil?

Once I finally reached the top of the tower, I found the shotgun shells I told Irvin to get. It was only four shells, but it was good enough for now. I watched over the village for the next couple of minutes, while everyone walked around or sat down to rest. It has really been a tough day to say the least. All our teachers died, the bus driver died, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny were the first students to go, then Johnny and Maria, Pedro soon followed, and now Heather... That is thirteen people dead and we just got past the village. I wonder if there will even be anyone left by the time we get to the castle.

*Door creaking open*

The sound of a door creaking open caught me off guard. It was coming from the door all the villagers went through, I wonder who could that be?
