I don't own ObsCure: The Aftermath, or it's characters!

They all sat quietly in the van as it drove down the street, eyes staring out the windows into the darkness that held nothing but blood stained roads and horrible memories. Richard was helping Amy with a few wounds she'd acquired while using the taser gun, while Corey moped in the opposite corner of the trunk that Jun was moping in. Come to think of it, the once-spunky gamer didn't look too happy to be there at all. Aside from the misery of her sister not being amongst them, she also seemed afraid – something she'd managed to avoid for most of the time now.

Richard noticed this and frowned, sighing heavily. He wanted to figure it was because their first attempt at escaping via car didn't end up so well.

Shannon shot a glance back at them and frowned, letting out a small sigh. Reaching for the car glove department, she pulled out a small photo and held it in her hand, slumping further down in her chair.

"Kenny," she whispered his name, savoring the sound of it on her lips, because she didn't know how much longer she'd be able to say it. Her brother wasn't her family anymore. He was something else; someone entirely different... She truly had no one left. Stan side-glanced at her while he was driving, his breath hitching in his throat. He wasn't too glad to be seeing her this way. He'd only found her and been with her for one hour, and already he was reminded of how horrible their experiences were at Leafmore. First her brother got abducted, and now he was fully taken away from her...

He looked back at the road, lights blazing from his car. "Shit!" His voice sounded out loudly, and as everyone raised their heads to see what was going on; everything went dark for all of them.

Amy groaned as she slowly sat up, holding her side as utter and completely pain went through her body. Whining, she looked around her, her vision slowly returning to her. There were a few splashes of blood that had most likely come from the sudden wound that she'd gotten on her side. Groggily trying to get an idea of what was around her, the only thing she could make out were pink flowers. So many pink flowers...

"Where... am I?" Her voice weak, she struggled to speak, shaking her head. She could see tree vines everywhere, but no tree for them to belong to. "Sven? Corey?" She called out desperately for her friends; but nobody answered her.

The only sound she could make out was the quiet whisper of the wind around her, and the roaring of a chainsaw somewhere far into the distance...

"Remind me never to use cars in these kinds of situations," Richard groaned as he stood up, lightly hitting his head as if to force his senses back to normal. All around him, four teenagers groaned in a response of agreeing with him, and he smirked, amused at how childish they all still seemed to be. However, something caught his eyes. Checking the list off of who all was there, he frowned; Shannon, Stan, Corey, Sven... where were Amy and Jun?

Naturally, his first instinct was to completely go mad, and that wasn't because of Amy – but because of Jun. He'd be damned if he let that kid die after he busted his ass to get her back to the group. Making his way over to the smashed car and peering through the broken window in the back – which had actually smashed upon the car being thrown to the ground, he grunted. One of the doors were torn off, with claws at that. But if a monster took one of them, why not all of them? Furthermore, was this not the exact same area he'd been pulled over at? Or at least somewhere nearby.

Or maybe the whole goddamn forest just looked the same and he was losing his mind.

Chewing on his bottom lip, his eyes narrowed in a look so obviously annoyed, that all teenagers huddled up together to freak out about the missing girls, avoiding him in the process. "We should split up and go look for-"

"I'll go look for Jun," Richard cut in, standing up quickly and trying to mask his obvious distaste for this whole situation.

"Let me go too!" Corey stepped forward, grimacing. "I want to help her! She's Mei's sister, and-"

"Mei made her my responsibility, but you can feel free to actually keep an eye on her when she's out of harm's way, again. Until then, let me go find her, and you can go look for Miss Brookes." He gave a glare that dared any of them to argue, and when none did, albeit a bit grudgingly on Corey's part, he nodded. "I can handle myself better than you guys anyways. Now go." Stan sighed and tossed him a shotgun, to which he nodded in thanks. The four teenagers split up into different directions in the forest – Stan going with Shannon, and Corey with Sven. Richard, however, stayed behind to examine the area for a moment.

"You're getting to be more trouble than you're worth, you little brat," he grumbled, bending down and picking up what had caused him to get annoyed only moments before; a small keychain that he knew very well was linked to Jun. Standing up and staring at the smooshed grass, he started to follow it, attempting to track the place it'd ended up at – causing him to go a completely separate way from all the others.

Tucking the keychain into his pocket and keeping the shotgun at ready, Richard James narrowed his eyes at the darkened bushes, the leaves that rustled as the night got darker and darker. This kid was going to compromise his job. All of them were supposed to be expendable; hell, even he was. He saved her life, she saved his. It was supposed to be even.

He'd almost call it a fucked up, bittersweet friendship, if he didn't know how it was going to end.

Boo! Did I surprise you? I hope so! Haha, this is a short chapter to let you know, this story is being revived! Revived, I tell you! I kept thinking about how much I wanted to write the ending for this, but first, I have to get through the middle!

So I hope some of my old readers are still along for the ride.

I always loved Jun. And I always loved Richard. I wish I could have loved them together, with some sort of twisted friendship. So that's my whole inspiration for even writing this story, if you can't tell by past chapters. :D Love the crack friendship pairing! Love it!

I'll forever love the person who can remind what the chainsaw dude's name was, please and thank you? Haha, haven't played in a while!
