Chapter 8

Night to remember

Ash stared breathing slowly seeing the long trial of a dirt path as they both stood side by side. Ash held onto his SMG in his left hand. His right hand was open.

Small drips of blood dripped off his fingers and onto the dirt ground. Clare stood beside him her wounds bandaged and dirty. Both of them were mangled and

torn from clothing yet willing to finish what they must do. Clare noticed the fresh breeze blowing through the trail and leaves fluttered into them. Both walked

forward taking caution of their surroundings they both looked in both sides and front.

"It's too quiet" said Ash

Within seconds of that. The tall trees around them shot out branches and vines. Ash and Clare both ran forward until one of the branches grabbed ahold of

Clare's left ankle dropping her onto the ground. Ash looked back stomping the branch as it cried. Clare reached out to Ash as he helped her up. Within that

moment Ash was then wrapped around his waist by a vine from behind.

"AHHHHH!"yelled Ash

"ASH! I'm COMING!"she yelled

"GO! GO ! GET OUT OF HERE!I'LL CATCH UP!"he yelled

Clare cursed and ran onward avoiding the slamming downward branches. The trees moved reaching out to grab ahold of her. She gritted her teeth avoiding

them. Clare had dropped her main weapon and quickly pulled out her pump action shotgun. Clare fired to her left then to her right. The heated shells dropped

steaming onto the cold dirt ground.

Ash screamed as the branches wrapped themselves around his body. Squeezing the very life out of him little by little. Ash gritted his teeth tightly. Looking up

then down he noticed how high they pulled him. Within moments a Ash was facing a massive wooden face of a tree. Its red eyes glowed in rage. Its mouth

snapped tree bark to opened widely.

Within seconds the evil looking tree laughed aloud. Its 4 mixed voices sounded horrible. Ash was quickly "branch slapped". Ash's face went left then right. He

grunted in pain as rapid flying branches bended and slapped Ash across his cheeks. Both cheeks turned quickly red then purple. Lastly they began to slowly

burst with small bits of dripping blood.

Ash forced his hands out and as he did he quickly grabbed ahold of his chainsaw and turned it on.

"RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"he yelled

Lifting it over his head he stabbed it directly into its face between its eyes as it bled out black blood. It screamed with 4 different voices put together. Its eyes

looked up then stared angered towards Ash. His mighty chainsaw ripped through its hardened wood. Chunks flew passed Ash as he squinted his eyes. Its

vines let their grip loose. Ash dropped 10 feet towards the dirt ground. He cursed and groaned aloud as he fell on his back. His chainsaw dropped beside him.

Ash opened his eyes and moved to his left avoiding the massive chunks of falling barks and black blood.

Ash looked up as he stood on one knee taking in deep breaths. His eyes stared looking around where he was brought to. He only guessed farther away from

the cabin. His mind thought of Clare and how she was doing. Ash grabbed ahold of his chainsaw and held it in both hands. Looking forward he could see small

bits of the raining moon light. His mind thought of those hissing Shrieks. Ash swallowed his spit hard. The cold rain continued through dropping lightly through

this deep environment of the woods. Ash ran forward taking his chances.

Clare stopped running as she noticed the glowing red blood veins formed around the end of the dirt trail. She noticed the red blood veins blocking the end of

the dirt trail. Formed into a shape of many "X"'s as if it was a door or gate. Slowly taking calm breaths she looked back for Ash. Yet nothing besides the heavy

wind and rain. She gulped down her saliva calmly thinking of what to do next. Yet she didn't remember leaving this area with this being here.

Clare fired her shotgun straight through. The blood veins screamed in pain. Clare gasped hearing them. She lowered her shotgun shocked at the sight. As the

blood veins dropped dangling lifelessly. She stared at the rain that dropped in front of her. Yet it was only knew this was blood. Looking back she could see

regular cold rain falling behind her. Then looking forward she could see red warm blood dropping from the sky in front of her.

Clare walked forward into the hot blood rain. She stared noticing the cabin. Its wooded figure was ruined. Windows shattered. The 3 parked cars were

moved.2 of them were wrecked. The last one was down the road. She noticed the door closed shut as she stared. She looked around the ground seeing the

many dead bodies of the victims. Scattered all across they were. None were moving all lifeless. She didn't even gasp. She held on knowing she must do this.

Clare gripped her pump action shotgun and clucked heated shell dropped onto the ground. She took one step forward within the moment. The surrounding

dead jumped up running towards her. She panicked firing desperately around her. Shell after shell then click. She swung the weapon back and forth hitting a

couple of them head on. They snarled with their rotting mouths. They growled and clawed at her. The surrounding number of quickly reached for her SMG but

was grabbed ahold of.

Clare grunted as they grabbed ahold of her body and tried lifting her up over their heads.

Bullets pierced through their skulls. She was dropped back onto the bloody ground as she covered her head with her came from the left as Ash ran forward

firing his dual barretas. Both fired at the same time.

Ash ran as fast as he could through the bloody rain. The horde jumped towards him desperately trying to kill Ash in one go. Yet his pistols overcame them with

accuracy.

Ash stopped running and helped Clare back up as he reloaded one of his dual barretas. Both stood tried out facing each other as Ash handed her the fully

reloaded barreta.

"Thanks, I thought you were a goner" she said looking up at him

"You can't kill the king baby "he said

"Well, maybe slapped around a little might do the trick" he said
