Chapter 6
Bigger is better
Ash stared at the small boat. His eyes grew wide as the flames continued burning behind him. The Cabin burned throughout all the things inside. The flames
continued as black smoke arose up into the sky. Ash only continued to stare and notice the wide range of the lake water there was. He gulped down hard on
his spit. The rain continued the cover the land. The fire behind them flickered little by little. Rain water poured as it began to dry out the fires. Clare got into the
boat as both pushed it into the cold lake water. Clare looked back at Ash and noticed his look.
"Ash? , come on you can't hate the water" she said
"I'm sure you've never been attacked by a tree" he said
"What?" she asked
"Have you seen JAWS? Or Lake Placid?" he asked
"What?!, are you-"
"Never mind, of course you never see that" he said
Ash got into the boat and sat in the middle as Clare started the rusty engine. Its gears spinned within it as it rushed with such force. The boat began to move.
Ash held onto his weapon tightly. Ash looked to his left then to the right. The boat ran through the lake water. Heading towards the center of the lake Ash
closed his eyes. Clare noticed his reaction to all this.
"What's it like? Being away from the city?" asked Clare
"Less noisy, less problems, and more loneliness if you stay home alone" he said
"Have you been in the city? "asked Ash looking back at her
"No, I never have been I lived within the country side of the towns, my family is religious" she said
The engine stopped. The boat floated calmly within the center of the massive lake. Clare cursed as she quickly tried to locate the main problem. Ash felt the
boat move more to the left.
"Oh crap"he said"
"Hold on!? This thing's jammed-"
"Clare, it's not that thing" said Ash
"How? Why wouldn't it be this?" she asked puzzled looking back at him
Slowly within seconds of that single question the boat was slightly struck from below
Ash aimed to the right noticing the movements within the massive lake coming from their boat.
"I knew it a big ass fish coming to get me, oh sure Ash help her…arhghg….mother Fu-…..get 2 years back…"muttered Ash
A large moan came from behind as Ash looked back and saw it.A massive organic creature. Its tentacles rose from the blackened water slamming into the boat.
Ash flew up into the air and screamed aloud. Clare held onto the edge of the small boat and screamed aloud for Ash. Dropping like a rock into the water the
massive organic human tentacle wrapped itself around his right foot and dragged him down. His hands desperately reaching out towards the surface.
Ash took a deep breath and was pulled hard. Looking down into the deep blackened water he could see nothing then reaching into this back pocket he
grabbed ahold of a flare gun and fired down below. The sight was unbelievable even towards him. Seeing witches, demons, beasts, Maulers, and even
zombies. Yet now he wasn't even ready to take this on.
Ash screamed under water as his air bubbles floated to the surface popping out towards Clare.
The massive beast was the size of a killer whale. Its top fin was the back spine of a human. Its face was in the shape of a fat figure. Its arms were open. Its
fingers were pure bone. Its grey skin had deep holes dug into them. The tentacles came out from the lower belly and above its arm like fins.4 Tentacles in total.
Its head was looking almost similar to a massively merged piranha and killer whale face. Its eyes were solid black. It smiled towards him as it swam opening its
sharpened jaw. Ash quickly thought within that instant and grabbed ahold of his M-16 firing directly towards the beast.
His bullets pierced through its skin as black ink of blood gushed out. Ash stopped firing as it backed away he quickly grabbed ahold of his hunting knife in his
right foot and slashed off the wrapped tentacle. Quickly noticing the beast swim away he swam up. Clare desperately looked around for him as he popped out
gasping for air. Yet Ash looked to his left noticing Clare floating closer to the other side.
"Clare! Do you see it?!"he yelled
"It's coming behind you!"she yelled
Ash looked back and noticed its spine sticking out of the water.
"Fuck me, why, why, why…..Clare! Get to shore now!"he yelled
Clare jumped into the water and swam quickly
Ash looked back towards it and reached for his chainsaw. Placing his M-16 on his back. He gripped his chainsaw in both hands as its engine stalled the first time.
"Seriously?! Come on baby" he said gritting his teeth
The beast swam quickly shooting out is other 3 tentacles towards him. Now it was only 10 feet away from Ash. Lifting up his chainsaw he began to slowly sink
into the water even more. Ash held his breath again. His hands finally got the chainsaw running as it roared to life through the heavy ever growing cold rain.
Ash kicked and kicked to stay on the surface of the water. He stared angered towards the face as its mouth opened towards Ash ready to chow him down.
"FUCK YOU!FRAKENFISH!"he yelled
His chainsaw along with its face collided together as its face was being severed, shredded skin flew towards Ash's face. Ash yelled as its body slammed into
him and both sank below. Its tentacles moved wildly in the water trying to free itself before dying. It growled in agony and pain. Its voice echoed through the
blackening water. Ash had enough as he kicked its head and swam up to the surface holding his chainsaw in his right hand.
Clare had reached the rocky shore as she gasped for air slowly dropping to her knees. She felt tired from swimming. The rain didn't help at all as it dropped like
tons of rock onto her shoulders and back. Ash walked passed Clare dropping his chainsaw and falling onto the ground on his knees then on his back. Taking in
the moment of fresh land. He breathed in and out like never before.
"Biggest…Biggest…Frankenstein Fish I ever caught, and this is the first…I-I Assure you" said Ash
Clare looked at him. She slightly thought of what was next.
"Clare-Clare…let's take a minute" he said
"We can't….we gotta keep going Ash" she said
"I know….what an ugly mother fucker"said Ash as he got back up
