An Apology

Hey one and all, this is just a quick post to thank anyone who has supported my writing, it's been fun and trying and I am happy that I made some really good friends along the way, I am currently writing the final part of The Forbidden which will be crazy, I promise, lots of chases and gore.

Back to the point of this post, The Forbidden will actually be my last story here unfortunately, to be honest I have had a pretty bad time in my life recently and I don't have as much free time as I used to, I wish I could find the time because I really enjoy horror and I think it was a nice idea to incorporate Stardoll into a horror setting. Even if I do say so myself. :P

This is not the end though, I will still write short stories here and there but future projects like frostBITE and the sequel to The Forbidden are cancelled, I am really sorry to anyone who I promised parts to, I am happy to say the short I promised about Internet stalking is still going ahead, I have partially written it so I will finish it.

Again, I am sorry if anyone is upset at this, It's not an easy decision but it's something I can not commit to any longer, although I wish I could.

Ellie and Tyler pushed their way through the intoxicated crowds of people, the mass of people seemed to have broken away now, Ellie could see people in the tree line in groups, people vomiting and a general disarray of activity, she held tightly to Alice’ hand as Tyler led them to the opposite end of the clearing, farthest away from the speakers pumping out the music so ferociously, suddenly Ellie felt her grasp lost and Alice was nowhere to be seen, she tried to look back but there were too many people, she stopped for a second and tried to glimpse her friend but she could not see her, not at all. She turned back and hoped to see Tyler but he was also out of sight, Ellie smacked her forehead and pushed her hair from her eyes, she stood crowded by people and looked around, pushing past people she struggled to pull herself past the bodies, the people still dancing and enjoying their selves, she ignored peoples annoyance as she pushed between couples and groups of people, suddenly Tyler grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him, her eyes met his and she felt amazingly safe with him, she rested her hand upon his shoulder and allowed him to pull her safely behind one of the cars surrounding the area, Tyler glanced back into the crowd, ‘where’d Alice go?’ he asked staring worriedly at Ellie.

Alice stumbled past a group of heavily drunk people, her converse sneakers made a crunching sound as she lost her footing upon stepping on a beer can, she caught herself before falling and held a tight grip upon the tree which saved her fall, she looked into the dense crowd for Ellie and Tyler, or even Dee and Mario but as with Ellie the crowd was still heavy and she could not see one recognisable face amongst the people, she sighed heavily and stepped over a drunk person sleeping off their skin full, she stepped into the woodland beyond and looked into the now misted surrounding, she peered and strained her eyes as she saw somebody stumbling around in the distance, unbeknownst to her on the tree she had just rested on their was a bloody arrow embedded in the tree and the person ‘sleeping’ was actually lying in a pool of their own blood, their dead body was assumed to be a drunk passed out, Alice folded her arms and kept her eyes on the person in the distance, she took a few more steps into the woods and suddenly hands wrapped around her, she pulled away with a mighty gasp to see an over-weight guy looking at her, his eyes lazy from intoxication, he leached towards her, Alice pushed him away from her and walked back into the crowds of people, ‘oh come on, bitch’ shouted the guy, extending his arm to call out to Alice, suddenly he fell to the floor with a painful shout, he lay on his front, a huge pick axe embedded in his back, from the trees one of the men who killed Dan pulled at the weapon, with a mighty pull the implement slid from his back, warm air rose from his wound as his spine snapped and strained, the man held the pick to his face and ran his tongue across the bloodied weapon, his tongue stained with blood he swallowed heartily and bared his teeth before retreating back into the dense tree line.

MEANWHILE

Anthony and Lou struggle to pull the girl along with them, Anthony held her up as her feet dragged along the floor, all her weight rested on his and Lou, suddenly Anthony stopped and pushed the girl away with a huff, Lou unbalanced herself and struggled to hold her up, the girl was exhausted, her breathing weak, shallow and quite worrying to Lou, Lou looked sharply at Anthony ‘what are you doing?’ she demanded trying to keep hold of the poor girl, who’s body was cold and bloodied, ‘I’m fucking tired!’ he shouted glaring momentarily at Lou, she steadily helped the girl over to a near by fallen log and sat her down, Lou glanced at Anthony angrily and stomped over to him, leaning over him she scowled, ‘what the fuck is your problem?, she’s hurt, we need to get her back to the party, they will have supplies and more importantly a fucking car to get the hell out of here!’ said Lou trying to not let the girl hear, before Anthony could answer he looked over Lou’s shoulder and at the girl, her hair and face were dirty and her clothes ripped and heavily stained with blood, she looked up at him, her eyes seemed hollow and her face blank, she looked away from his glare and he turned back to Lou, her eye brows arched in anger she shook her head, ‘you are nothing short of selfish’ she concluded resting her hands upon her slender hips, Anthony looked down and mumbled ‘we don’t even know her’ he said, ‘she’s a person, she’s hurt and I’m going to help her, she needs out help, Anthony’ said Lou backing away from him, as she turned around the mysterious girl stood up, her arms folded keeping herself warm, she gulped and raised her head to look at Anthony and Lou, ‘I’m Mika’ she said meekly, hardly projecting her voice at all, Lou watched as she pulled her ripped shirt up baring her torso, Lou gasped as the girl revealed a large cut into her side, ‘they took it’ said the Mika, tenderly touching her horrific wound, it was deeply cut and the edges rough, the flesh was hanging off and blood dripping from it, ‘who took it?’ asked Anthony, Mika looked at him and pushed her shirt back over herself slowly, ‘them, the people who live in these woods – they took my friends and they killed them’ she sobbed, strings of tears thundered down her cheek, she sniffled and shook her head, ‘they ate them, they ate me!’ she said motioning to her wound again, Lou held her hand over her mouth as Mika explained, her voice trembled ‘they are vicious, they took my friends one by one and they cut them into pieces in front of me, they ate them, I watched them eat my best friend!’ she said raising her voice, ‘I’m so sorry’ said Lou approaching the girl and soothing her back, the girl sobbed lightly as Lou gently hugged her, ‘this is crazy’ said Anthony loudly, he held his hands together and watched as Lou and Mika embraced.

‘We need to get out of here!’ said Anthony but just as he said it and caught Lou and Mika’s attention a huge axe embedded into his head with a squelch, blood pumped from his head and his body convulsed, Lou screamed loudly and Mika pulled away from her, they both watched as the man standing behind Anthony pulled the axe from his head, as he did Anthony’s head fell into two half’s, his once face was unrecognizable as his body crashed to the dirt floor, Mika tugged at Lou and they both ran as quickly as they could, looking back Mika could not see the man, only Anthony’s half headless body in the distance, Lou struggled to keep us as Mika sprinted into the woods further but she never let go, she kept hold of Lou’s hand and gallantly pulled her along, her long blonde hair danced in the wind as she ran behind Mika, suddenly Mika pulled Lou behind a tree and she quickly controlled her breath, Lou coped her quickly as they crouched behind the large tree, suddenly the killer ran into the clearing, brandishing the large axe he had mutilated Anthony with, his breaths short he glanced around quickly looking for the girls, he snarled and ran forward deeper into the wood, Lou let out a heavy breath and fell onto her back, she cradled her head in her hands, Mika ignored her and kept looking around, she had seen them hunt, knew their tactics, and sure enough into he clearing another man leered, with a slight limp he sniffed the air and followed where the other deformed man has gone, he was uglier than the man before him, his hair lank and grey, his skin hanging down over his face, Lou peered from behind the tree and watched him fade into the tree line, sighing Mika regain her balanced and pulled Lou to her feet, ‘we need to get to that party’ said Mika slowly walking across the clearing following Lou.

MEANWHILE

Ellie and Tyler were still searching for Alice, they held hands tightly as they made their way through the crowds of people, ‘You know what?’ shouted Ellie, ‘she’s probably with Dan and Lou!’ she shouted over the music, ‘yeah, I guess’ replied Tyler obviously worried about his friends, Ellie smiled at him and pulled him along after her, walking into a clearing she holds Tyler’s hand to her heart and took a deep breath, he smiled at her and laughed, ‘what’s up?’ he asked, running his fingers delicately through her hair. Ellie closed her eyes and sighed, ‘I don’t want you to worry, Tyler, I could be wrong and I know I should be upset but I can’t be because I love you, always will, I hope you don’t get mad or freak out’ Tyler waited on her words, the music of the party drowned out, he waited as she paused, ‘I think, I might be pregnant’ she said, looking straight to Tyler awaiting his reaction, he looked at her for a second and smiled, he hugged Ellie tightly and kissed her on her forehead, ‘you’re not mad?’ she questioned, ‘hey, if you are we can deal with this, I love you and yeah, I guess it’s crazy but I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you and I’ll love this baby’ Tyler said, with a sweet smile, Ellie laughed cautiously, Tyler was happy? She could not understand it but she felt the same way, ‘I love you too!’ she cried, standing on her tip toes and kissing him on the lips, for a second the world totally revolved around them, this was bliss.

Out of nowhere Tyler is ripped from Ellie’s arms, falling to the ground she screamed as Tyler fell down a steep hill, crashing into frees and foliage she could hear him shout and wince in pain, ‘TYLER!’ she screamed looking into the misty darkness, she could faintly see Tyler lying at the bottom, she scrambled to her feet but upon looking around she saw two of the deformed men watching her contently, she starred at them back and two and tried to catch her breath, suddenly one laughed at her, Ellie jumped in fright as he cackled and whooped out loud, Ellie slowly walked away, her shoes digging into the soft dirt, the men watched her, both exchanging glances as Ellie looked on, petrified, they were grotesque but there was nowhere to run, nobody would hear her scream, suddenly Ellie took a chance and darted trough the trees, one of the men griped at her arm and tried to pull her back, she faulted and fell to the floor, she screamed as she fell, the man held tightly to her arm and gripped her by her hair, the other watched on, clapping his hands together in glee, Ellie gritted her teeth as the man pulled her from the ground by her hair, screaming at the top of her voice she slapped at the mans arm, struggling to have him release his grasp, she suddenly pulled herself towards him and bit at his disfigured hand, drawing blood he let go and Ellie fell backwards, she ran forward to see yet another man, disfigured and twisted, her let out a scream and Ellie again stopped, darting to her right she pushed past branches and made her way into a clearing, she stared at a tall building in the distance, she quickly ran toward it and opened the heavy door.

Ellie slipped inside and pushed the heavy door shut, she looked around, behind her was amass of cars, all makes and models – she stared at them and his behind a large desk, suddenly she heard the door forced open, it’s hinges creaked as the door opened fully, moonlight flooded in, Ellie grasped her hand over her mouth and kept quiet, she could hear the men speak to each other, their voices raspy ‘we will go south, you search here if you think she is here’ suddenly the door slammed shut and Ellie froze, she could see the tallest of the man limbering around the floor space, looking all over for her, she kept still and waited as he passed her and walked between the cars, Ellie slid from beneath the table and slowly crawled over to the door, reaching for the handle she turned the knob but it was stuck tight, she tried once more and crouched in silence, she slowly wade her way to another door to her right and she stood up, the door was wooden and warn, the glass panel seemed dirty, Ellie pulled the handled delicately but it was also locked, suddenly as she walked away the mans frightful face appeared at the window, his teeth bared like a dog he looked into the distance, Ellie stood to the side and waited for him to disappear, as he did watched him exit the door the other side, he walked away and Ellie sneaked along the passage way, she opened the door and quickly closed it behind her, pulling the locking mechanism shut she ducked out of the sight of the window and slowly turned around, she gasped in shock, hanging up from the ceiling were 10 or more dead bodies, in various states of undress and pools of blood beneath them, some had their chest ripped open and organs hanging from them, she wretched at the sight, suddenly she noticed a face, Dan’s corpse hung by it’s heels, his naked torso hollowed out, his skin from his arms was missing to the bone, Ellie wailed quietly at the sight, her friend was now nothing but a meal, suddenly the door handle strained, Ellie ran for cover as the man entered the door, sniffing the air he growled and huffed, he swung open doors to lockers in the room, searching for Ellie, suddenly he swung open a locker and Ellie darted out, knocking him to the ground, she smashed the heel of her shoe into his face wildly, over and over again, the man heaved her off after a few seconds, stumbling around he shouted in pain, Ellie looked at he walked around, she saw her heel imbedded in his eyes socket, she heaved as he pulled the shoe from his eye, it was embedded deeply, blood spat from his eye, Ellie looked on, suddenly behind her some large garage type doors swung upwards, the other two men stood menacingly, Ellie quickly ran to the door and tried to pull it open, she held her breath as it rattled, it was locked! Ellie grabbed a metal implement from a near by desk and smashed it trough the window, she could see the two men outside scrambling with keys at a lock fencing them outside, she struggled to get trough the small window, ripping her skirt, as she almost got out she felt herself being forced back, she kicked her feet and fell from the door, the man with the wounded eye grunted heavily and looked through the smashed panel, as he did Ellie plunged the sharp knife she broke the window with into the top of his head, he gasped lightly and his face strained, Ellie wriggled the knife inside his skull, forcing it inside, the mans body fell limp and fell backwards into the room, Ellie managed to pull the knife out of his head and she ran deeper into the field of cars, ducking behind one she gripped the long knife and slid underneath the car. she could hear footsteps and talking, she shifted herself so she could see the door so she could make her escape, Ellie saw one of the men, he sneaked past, his foot steps light, Ellie waited for him to pass, she wriggled from beneath the car and looked around curiously, she looked over at the dead body of the man she had managed to kill, blood surrounded his corpse, Ellie hurried along the hallway, almost upon her escape Ellie was confronted by one of the men, her lunged at her baring an bloodied axe, Ellie screamed and tried to run but she saw no escape, as the other man lumbered into the hallway, he snarled at Ellie and approached her…

The Forbidden Part III

Alice stared vacantly into the crowds of people, she rolled her eyes and breathed heavily, a small eruption of warm air caused a cloud to emerge from her mouth, she pulled her jacket tightly around herself and jumped from the car hood she had been sitting on, she quickly pushed her bangs to the side of her face and slowly walked into the crowd, seeing Tyler alone she made her way to him, she tenderly touched his shoulder and he turned to her, with a heavy smile, Alice pulled him from the crowd behind some trees, as she did so Tyler stumbled to follow, the crowd was busy and bustling – ‘Have you seen the others?’ asked Alice, Tyler nodded his head and swigged from a can of red bull, ‘Mario is with some people from his old school’ said Tyler, motioning over to a group of guys, mostly jocks, all laughing and pointing out girls they found attractive, ‘Lou and Anthony have gone to move the car’ said Tyler and then he shrugged ‘Ellie and Dee went off somewhere a little while ago and fuck knows where Dan is’ explained Tyler staring past Alice and to the party scene, Tyler pushed past her and rejoined the fun, Alice sighed heavily and pushed back the trees, she also made her way in to the crowd.

‘You have to say something’ said Dee, she and Ellie were sitting alone beside a small boxed off toilet, ‘It’s not even sure yet, I’m just…worried’ said Ellie weakly smiling at her friend, ‘babe, Tyler needs to know, you could be carrying his kid’ said Dee looking worriedly at Ellie, who looked unhappy, she gently played with her bag, picking at the stitched Chanel symbol, Dee pulled the bag from Ellie and hugged her, Ellie gasped back, she spluttered and began to cry, ‘I’m pregnant!’ she exclaimed as Dee held her tightly, ‘I have to face it, I’m over 3 weeks late, I’m fucking pregnant!’ she said raising her voice and choking back tears, suddenly Alice turned the corner, Ellie let go of Dee and quickly wiped a stray tear from her face, she looked down trying to disguise her upset, Dee held onto her hand as Alice looked on puzzled, ‘what’s up?’ said Dee, smiling at Alice, ‘is everything okay?’ asked Alice, noticing Ellie choking back attempting to stop herself crying –‘fine’ said Ellie abruptly standing up, ‘lets go’ she said pulling Dee up from the wooden log they had been sitting on, Ellie grabbed Alice also and pulled her along, the music was louder now and the people drunk and rowdy, ‘Hell yeeeaaahhhhh!’ screamed Ellie dancing along to the beat, Dee and Alice followed her lead and began getting into the rhythm.

Lou and Anthony headed to Tyler’s jeep, both laughing they pushed through the sea of parked and abandoned vehicles, Lou pushed the key into the lock and pulled open the door, Anthony leaned on a near by car and watched as Lou turned the ignition, the car did not flicked, nothing at all. Lou tried again and again, she looked as Anthony stared at her, ‘it’s dead’ she said getting out of the car, she closed her door slowly and approached the hood, she searched the fender for the release catch, but Anthony noticed it was already in latched, he slowly picked up the body work and unveiled the engine and parts, a stem of heat blasted from the car, Lou and Anthony backed away to allow the severe heat to rise, suddenly Lou fell backwards, she screamed as she fell hard onto her back, Anthony tried to catch her but to no avail, she hit the floor and groaned, ‘shit’ said Anthony staring at her, Lou struggled to pull herself up, Anthony helped and she managed to find her feet, she knew immediately she was covered in something, something dark and sticky, Anthony inspected her and gasped, he held his hand over his mouth and wretched, Lou followed his eyes, in the car the engine was trashed and upon the bare motor was red blood and entrails, shreds of flesh – Lou looked at the floor and then remembered she had fallen, she ripped off her coat and threw it to the floor, she looked on as Anthony stood aback, his face was white as a ghost, he looked in utter shock, Lou looked at her hands, they were covered in the blood and clotted blood, she panicked and tried to wipe it off her skin, she breathed heavily and began to hyper ventilate as the blood tricked from her arms, suddenly Anthony walked to her, taking off his hoodie he wiped the blood from his friends hair, her blonde locks were now stained a horrific red, not a word exchanged between the two, they were both too shocked to speak and take in what they had found, suddenly Lou gasped, her mind seemed to be unclouded instantly, ‘oh my god’ she said stopping cleaning herself, Anthony abruptly halted as Lou turned to him, ‘we need my cell phone’ she exclaimed, Anthony quickly turned to the floor and picked up her blood soaked coat and as he did his noticed an arm sitting beside the car, attached was a person, their face was unrecognisable, the skin was all but gone and tissue and muscle remain, Anthony looked at the person vacantly, he dropped Lou’s coat, Lou followed him and saw the person also, she let out a blood curdling scream and doubled over, straining her voice she screamed, the person was in such a mess, neither of the friends could take it in, suddenly Anthony pointed to her body, ‘it’s the guy who greeted us’ he said, his voice trembling, Lou stared on, just then somebody tackled Anthony to her floor, he immediately crumbled to the ground, Lou watched on as the bloodied person rolled off of Anthony, he held his head and groaned, Lou’s eyes befell upon the two lying next to each other, the attackers face was covered with dirty, blood soaked hair, Lou pushed herself into the car and closed the door, she peered through the window as the other person unsteadily tried to regain their balance, turning to the car and Lou the person fell onto the window their bloody hand print leaving a smear on the glass, Lou waited in bated breath as the person stared at her, their eyes seemed full of fear, their dirty face had clear water marks in conjunction with ear streams, the person stared at Lou, their chin trembling – ‘help me’ said the person softly, their voice breaking, Lou’s faced dropped, she slowly opened the car door and ran round to Anthony, he was still on the floor, she held him and tried to help him up, he groaned heavily and rubbed his head, they both turned to the girl leaning against the car, her face crippled and bloody, she held her hand out, her arms were cut and hands bloodied, ‘please, please – help me’ she begged as Lou and Anthony watched her cry, beg them to help, Anthony pulled away and gently touched the girls shoulder, she was freezing, ‘what happened?’ said Lou staring at the clearly broken girl, ‘they’re coming, we have to go now, please’ begged the girl grabbing Anthony’s hard tightly, she and Anthony were both shaking, their were terrified, the girl choked back and caught her breath. ‘Who?’ asked Anthony holding onto the girls hand, ‘they’re strong, they fucking killed them, killed my friends’ she exclaimed, bursting into tears, Lou cleared her throat as Anthony and her pulled the girl to her feet, she could barley walk, her body seemed so frail and weak, they each took her arm and held her up, as they make their way back to the thunderous music.

Tyler looked on at his girlfriend dancing, balancing a beer bottle in his palm scratched his chin, his stubble tickled his hand, the put his bottle on a close by beer stand and made his way over to her, she pulled Alice around in a circle and danced around, Tyler knew something was wrong, Usually he and Ellie were inseparable – barely leaving each others side, suddenly Tyler walked into Mario, Mario laughed as Tyler stared at him, Mario was clearly drunk and probably obnoxious by now, he smiled at Tyler and followed his eye line over his shoulder to Ellie, he raised his beer can and laughed once again, ‘DEE!’ he shouted, Ellie and Alice turned to see Mario stomping his way over Dee, she folded her arms as Ellie joined her side, ‘what the fuck, Tyler!’ she shouted over the music, ‘me?’ said Tyler, shocked by Dee blaming him, ‘you promised me you would stop him getting shit faced’ she screamed shaking her head, ‘you can’t blame Tyler’ interjected Alice peering at Dee, Dee looked around and narrowed her eyes, ‘who asked you, bitch?’ she cured, scowling at Alice, ‘he’s your boyfriend, Dee, you should be looking out for him, no. Actually he should be taking care of himself for gods sake’ shouted Alice, Mario laughed and danced as they girls argued back and two, ‘girl fight!’ he shouted loudly, Ellie pushed herself between Alice and Dee, ‘stop’ she pleaded but they were both angry, ‘nobody wanted you here, Alice’ screamed Dee, trying to offend Alice, ‘and now who do they not want here? Huh?’ shouted Alice back quickly; Ellie pulled Alice away, followed by Tyler. Dee stomped away in the opposite direction, briskly followed by Mario stumbling behind her.

Dee held her face in her hands as Mario wretched and vomited behind a near by tree, she looked up and saw the lights from the party in the distance, the music was faint and drowned out by Mario being sick, Dee groaned and stood up, she walked over to Mario and soothed his back, he gulped back heavily and stood up, his face was sweaty and glowing in the faint light, ‘lets get you back’ said Dee, tugging on Mario’s shirt, he stood strong and pulled Dee into his arms, he puckered his lips and tried to kiss Dee but she broke away from his grip and wagged her finger in his face, ‘don’t even Mario, I am not kissing you looking like shit’ she exclaimed smirking at him, she again pulled at his arm and he reluctantly followed, ‘babe, I’m going to spill’ groaned Mario pausing on the spot, he quickly bent down into some bushes and wretched again, Dee pulled out her cell phone and slipped it open, she pressed some digits but got a no signal announcement as she tried to phone Ellie, she slowly walked farther on as she tried to get a signal, Mario could still be heard in the background, Dee slammed her phone shut and looked back, she was taken aback to see Mario kneeling on the floor, his eyes staring at her frantically as a man stood over him, his hands powering down on Mario, his arms forcing Mario to stay kneeling down, Mario held out his hands towards Dee, her mouth dropped open as the ugly man looked at her, his face was deformed and white, Mario moaned as the man put his hands inside his mouth, he struggled as Dee froze to the spot, she watched in horror as the man pulled opposite ways on Mario, his jaw strained as he let out a muffled, but terrified shout, Dee heard a cracking sound and saw blood explode from Mario, to her horror the man was ripping off his jaw, his face ripped in two halves as he tried to shout, the skin around his mouth stretched and ripped open, blood gushed from his mouth as the man ripped and shook at Mario’s now broken jaw, his body fell limp as the man pulled a knife from his pocket, he pulled the sharp edge across the skin holding Mario’s face together and his jaw dropped to the floor with a thud, Dee’s whole body shook, she wanted to scream but she just gurgled, her throat closed as she tried to shout, say anything – suddenly the mans attention returned to Dee, she dropped her phone to the floor and stared into the mans eyes, his face repulsed her, suddenly the man ran at her, his arms out reached, Dee quickly darted to the left out of the mans reach, he fell to the floor, dirty filled the air from the ground as the man skidded to a halt, Dee quickly ran from him, she ran as quickly as she could, her heels digging into the ground every step she took, she gazed at the lights in the sky, she headed for them, knowing her only safety was with the other revellers, she quickly looked back to see the killer a few feet behind her, his breathing erratic, he snorted and wheezed as he tried to catch Dee, she screamed loudly and began to panic, she finally realized what had just happened, Mari was dead, mutilated by this mutant now chasing her, she tried to pick up speed as he ran through the woods, tree braches ripped at her skin and clothes, Dee screamed again, desperate for somebody to hear her, suddenly she turned back again and the man was gone, she carried on running, her feet ached but the music was loud now, she must be close, all of a sudden Dee tripped, her legs left the floor and she fell hard to the floor, her face grimaced in pain, she stared and saw a trip wire across the clearing, she dug her elbows into the ground and pulled herself forward, suddenly she felt a coldness grip her left ankle, she peered back to see another man, pulling on her leg, his hands were webbed and foul looking, his nails long and in growing, Dee let out a scream as a tear rolled down her cheek, she tried to pull herself away, digging her long nails into the ground she held on, the man pulled ferociously on her ankle and her nails snapped, letting out another scream the man pulled her away into the darkness, Dee carried on screaming for her life and the man laughed to himself, out of sight a loud slashing sound lightly echoed, Dee’s lifeless body fell into the clearing, her chest slashed open, her eyes still open and breathing faint, Dee gasped and looked at the bath, the music was loud and close, she was but yards away, the two men who attacked her surrounded her and plunged their hands into her open chest, their fingers ripped at her insides, she could see them pull her inside out, taking her last breath her head slumped on it’s side, a small trickle of blood seeped from her mouth as the men bit and tore at her innards.

Forbidden Part II

‘We need to stop soon!’ said Dee leaning over to talk to Tyler. he rolled his eyes and looked over to Ellie, her window wound down and her hair slightly blowing in the breeze, ‘I agree, I really need to pee’ shouted Dan from the back of the car, ‘Come on, there is a gas station a few miles up from here, please’ said Dee pleading with Tyler, ‘alright, alright we can stop’ he concurred seeing the small shack in the distance, approaching it they all looked on distastefully, the place was an utter shit hole, run down and dirty. Mario and Tyler got out of the car and inspected it, they needed gas. Ellie, Anthony and Alice walked around, making the most of the fresh air and the chance to stretch their legs, Dan and Dee both ran round back to where the sigh on the building indicated the bathrooms were – Dee opened the door to be met by a hoard of flies, the place stunk so bad she gagged, Dan opened the other door and was met by a similar stench, the quickly shut the door and looked around, he walked over to some near by bushes and unzipped his jeans.

‘Hello’ called Lou, peering through the window of the building, it looked empty, probably abandoned, she looked back and saw Tyler and Mario filling up the car with gas, she realized there must be somebody there, she knocked at the door, upon tapping the door creaked open slightly, she cautiously pushed it open, attempting to make no noise but as she did a bell connected to the door frame rung out loudly, she paused momentarily but carried on inside, she looked around at the food on the counter, the packaging looked ancient, ‘hello, is there anybody in here?’ she called out, looking around for a sign of humanity, she looked around once more and decided the place was abandoned, she turned on her heels and began to walk from the store when she heard some rustling in the back room, stopping she tucked her blonde hair behind her ear and called out yet again ‘Hello, we need to pay for some gas, please’ she said, briskly walking to the back room and pushing the door open, suddenly the door swing back, almost hitting Lou, she backed up, leaning back on the counter as a frail old man looked at her, ‘ya’ll need something?’ he said pushing past her and looking out of the window at Lou’s friends, ‘Yes, we need to pay for some gas’ she said opening her purse and pulling out a pink wallet, she looked through it and pulled out a credit card, motioning for the man to take it from her, ‘Thanks’ she said sweetly, the man turned around and looked at Lou, she was angelic, her skin glowing in the afternoon sun, her hair tied back in a bun, she looked down at her credit card and chuckled to himself, ‘we don’t take plastic pay’ she said wiping his nose with the sleeve of his shirt, ‘cash only’ he snorted holding out his hand, waiting for payment, ‘Oh, okay’ she said, once again rummaging through her purse, pulling out $30 she placed it onto the mans palm, he snatched it and pushed the money into his shirt pocket, he grunted and walked back to the entrance of his back room, taking one last look at Lou he sized her up, obviously staring at her chest, ‘make sure you close the door properly’ she said, slamming the rickety old door behind him, ‘thank you!’ called Lou sarcastically, she quickly exited and made her way back to the car, she jumped in and immediately gasped, ‘that guy was so rude!’ she said shaking her head, quickly Dan leaned over her seat and smiled at her, ‘I peed on his flower garden’ he said with a cheeky grin, everyone laughed and Tyler pulled back onto the road, ‘not far now’ he assured everyone as he turned the stereo up.

2 HOURS LATER

Tyler’s black 2007 range rover slowed up, they were approaching a split road, he peered through the window, squinting his eyes but it had gotten dark and beneath the trees darkness was upon them, his lights lit up their way but that was as far as their visibility allowed, Ellie leaned onto the window, cupping her face she strained to see a sigh post ‘What are we stopping for?’ asked Anthony looking around his friends, Tyler looked back and sighed – ‘there should a sign post some place, this split is not on the GPS, we need to follow Bitter creek Mountain road’ said Tyler turning back his attention to the GPS sitting atop his dashboard, ‘baby we need to be there before it gets too dark’ groaned Ellie leaning over Tyler’s seat, Dee and Lou huddled together, it was beginning to get cold ‘Where will the post be?’ asked Mario opening the glove box and taking out a torch, ‘fuck knows’ replied Tyler wearily, Mario wound down his window and flashed the light into the dense trees lining the road, the sound of animals and birds were evident, this creeped Ellie out and she rubbed her arms in anticipation, suddenly the trunk opened and closed and Dan appeared by Mario’s window, he grabbed the torch and quickly ran across the road and out of sight, his friends in the car watched the small light flicker amongst the side of the road, ‘Dan are you alright man?’ shouted Tyler trying to assure a worried looking Ellie. ‘dude’ called Mario, Dan was aware of them but he was cold and searching for a sign post he was unsure existed and he felt like not answering, he flashed the torch around quickly and randomly reached out his hand hoping to grab the wooden sign, unbeknownst to him he was being watched from the trees about 10 feet away by the man who had killed the young girl earlier, the mans hands wrapped around a self made, and crudely constructed knife, bloodied and soiled, the man breathed lightly, he had breathing problems and grasped for air, his eyes transfixed on Dan and he wandered further away from the safety of the car and his friends, the man slowly walked towards Dan, taking easy steps as if he knew every inch of the woods, he approached Dan unawares of the impending danger, the light from the torch dancing around distracting Tyler and the others, suddenly Dan saw the sign and rushed over to it, the disfigured man now only a matter of 2 feet away, Dan quickly pushed aside the foliage and read the sign, it was ancient and unkempt but still readable, ‘Bitter Creek Mountain’ read out Dan under his breath, shining his light source at an arrow pointing up the road, he quickly retreated just as the horribly scarred man stood behind the sign looking down upon him, Dan briskly jogged back to the car and got in, ‘you're so brave’ said Lou patting Dan on the shoulder, Tyler turned on the engine and the lights from the car shone, Ellie noticed some bushes shaking by the sign and looked on, there is no wind she thought to herself but not speaking up, Tyler slowly drove up the road with his fog lights on, ‘what did you not have those on to help Dan find the post?’ asked Mario looking at Tyler bewildered, ‘I never thought’ replied Tyler embarrassed, Dan rolled his eyes and sat down next to Alice and Anthony. From the trees the man watched them drive away, his breathing still struggled, he cackled excitedly.

Ellie and Dee jumped out of the car happily, they linked arms and ran over to a big lamp on the side of the road, in the distance they could hear thumping house music and the sounds of people laughing, Tyler and Mario grabbed the bags from the trunk and all the friends followed Ellie and Dee into a surrounding, the trees were scares but there were lights everywhere and masses of people dancing away, suddenly a man approached Ellie, ‘Hey there, you found us’ he said happily, he had a small keg strapped to his back and a super soaker in his hand, he filled up two cups and handed them over to the girls, they happily chatted to the friendly guy until the others arrived and received their drinks and welcome, the whole area was busy with activity and surrounded by wrecked cars and vehicles filled with varies colour lights, the whole place looked amazing, everyone made their way into the gathering, Dee, Mario, Tyler and Ellie broke away from the group and into a group and people dancing, Lou and Anthony joined them and began dancing together, Dan and Alice sat on top of one of the abandoned cars and drank their drinks, raising their voices above the thumping music Alice spoke to Dan ‘that was really brave of you, getting out of the car and all in the pitch black’ she said nodding her head, Dan smiled at her and watched on as Ellie dirty danced Tyler ‘no shame’ said Alice with a sigh, Dan laughed and drank the last of his drink, he quickly jumped from the bonnet of the car and pulled Alice along with him, ‘lets show them how it’s done!’ he shouted, he and Alice jumped around laughing and whooping, their friendship was enviable by most of their friends, they had known each other since they were born and they had remained the best of friends, even when Alice parents had split up Dan had always been there for her and vice versa, Alice would do anything for Dan, she knew him inside and out – Lou and Anthony joined them dancing around and they all had a great him dancing to the heavy music.

Dee quickly broke away from the dancing and pushed her way through the crowd, smiling she spoke to the guy who greeted them and she walked by the side of one of the tents to a cooling tower, filled with punch, she pulled out a paper cup and filled it with the bright green concoction and swilled it down, she gasped at the alcohol but enjoyed the taste, she reached down to fill up the cup once again but before she had chance to take a drink somebody grabbed her from behind, clasping their hand over her mouth, she quickly dropped the cup as she was dragged away into the woodland, attempting to scream she heard the person shush her, she felt herself turning around and the hand drop from her mouth, before she could scream she felt someone’s lips meet hers and kiss her, she opened her eyes to be greeted by Mario, his eyes closed as his passionately kissed her girlfriend, Dee wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, she then quickly pulled away, ‘you scared me!’ she said angrily, frowning, Mario cupped her chin in his masculine hands and kissed her nose, ‘I’m sorry’ he said smiling at Dee, she smiled back and leaned in to kiss him again. Meanwhile Ellie and Tyler were still in the crowds of people, they were dancing to their own beat and gazing at each other, Ellie rested her head on Tyler’s shoulder and the kept dancing, Lou, Anthony and Alice were still dancing also but Dan had wandered off with some people he knew and they were slowly walking along the dirt path, farther away from the music, they talked animatedly as they wondered freely into the woods, they kept talking about old times, ‘Dude it was the best’ said one girl laughing, Dan and the other guy laughed too, suddenly the guy pulled a small rolled up packet from his jeans, Dan watched as his old friend unrolled it unveiling some neon discs, pills. he held them in front of Dan and the younger girl, they both hesitated, he motioned his hand towards them, ‘Nah, dude I’m not into anything like that’ said Dan with a shake of his head, the girl also refused them, ‘You guys are no fun, what changed’ he said, skipping away from them, ‘dude…’ said Dan, trying to stop him running ahead into the darkness, ‘leave him, he’s drunk’ said the girl stopping Dan from following, she walked in front of Dan and stopped, she pushed her hands onto his chest and pulled her nails smoothly down his shirt, he stopped dead and looked at her puzzled, she smiled and brushed her hands over her body, attempting to flirt with him, he smiled slightly and held her arms away from him gently, ‘come on, there is nobody around’ she said pulling away, ‘Jess, I’m gay’ said Dan quickly, she stopped and her mouth fell open, ‘ohhh no, you let me make a dumbass out of myself’ she groaned, rubbing the side of her head. In the distance they heard their friend fall down and curse. They ignored him. ‘It’s not obvious?’ asked Dan sticking his hands out to steady his old friend ‘NO’ she said in quick response, she lent into Dan and hugged him, embracing for a second she pulled away, ‘shit my head hurts’ she said just as her whole body swung to the side with a swoosh, so quickly it make Dan's eyes blur, he looked to the right of him and his friend was slumped by a tree, on closer inspection a manipulated blade protruding through her head, he panicked and breathed heavily, hyperventilating he slapped his chest ‘what the fuck’ he repeated, he quickly realized his danger, taking one last look at the girl, whose whole head was crushed in by the force of the blade he dashed back in the direction he came, jumping over woodland he sprinted as fast as he could, his breath short and controlled, he kept running, the lights of the rave were in sight, in the distance he saw Anthony and Lou walking past the clearing, the music was louder than ever, he kept running for his life, catching his breath he called out loudly ‘Anth-‘ before he could continue somebody knocked him to the floor, he fell heavily, looking up at the person in the clearing Dan gasped, his face was disgusting, skin folds had become chapped and bloody, their skin a brown and pink colour, Dan looked over at Lou and Anthony again as he prepared to let out another shout for his friends help an arm from behind him clapped over his face and stopped him, he struggled free and managed to shout, ‘Anthon-‘, again his attempt thwarted, this time Anthony and Lou heard something and looked to the clearing but the two men had pulled Dan into the tree line, holding him back with a sharp knife pressed against his throat, Dan could see Lou and Anthony looking towards him, a single tear rolled from his eye and down his cheek, the two men holding him back were strong, suddenly Anthony and Lou walked past, Dan kicked and struggled but they had gripped his arms fiercely and he could not escape, with a shove they pushed him to the floor, he fell onto his chest and rolled over, his clothes now dirty and stained, he looked at them, one walked towards him and picked him up by his hair, pulling him to his knees, Dan gritted his teeth in pain as the roots of his hair ripped from his skull with the force, he looked towards the other man his face breaking out into a smile, he leaned into Dan and said loudly ‘beg’, Dan sniffed back tears and gulped for breath ‘w-what?’ she asked, the man holding him pulled at his hair, Dan let out a small cry. ‘Beg for your life’ said the man with a laugh, ‘What do you want?’ cried Dan, ‘please don’t do this’ he continued, ‘don’t hurt me’ he begged tears streaming down his face, suddenly the hand holding him viciously ripped the blade across his bare throat, the blade slashed open Dan's fragile neck with ease, blood erupted from the wound, spraying into the air and onto the other man, he stood with his grotesque mouth open, allowing droplets of warm blood to spray into his mouth, with the blood still flowing the taller man quickly and viciously tossed Dan's dead body into the trees, the two men watched on as people carelessly walked past the clearing, unawear of the slaugher taking place just yards away...

The Forbidden

A tall blond girl walked briskly through the food court, her heels clapping in succession as she made her way through the hoards of fellow students, her face made up to perfection, as she walked by she took peoples breath away with her beauty, everyone knew her, everyone wanted to be her friend – Ellie, she quickly came to a halt bedside on table, looking around she placed a folded piece of paper onto the surface, the people sitting down looked at her knowingly, ‘You didn’t!’ said one girl snatching the piece of paper up, unfolding the white sheet her eyes gleamed, a smile quickly spread across her face, biting her bottom lip softly Ellie pursed her lips, ‘I did’ she smirked resting her hand on her hip, ‘Oh my god!’ exclaimed another girl, dark skinned, just as beautiful as Ellie. She leaped from the table and skipped into Ellie’s arms, ‘you are amazing’ she purred, hugging her friend, ‘You are very welcome, Dee’ said Ellie proudly, the letter being passed around raised everyone’s spirits, all smiling and thanking Ellie, the letter ended up with Alice, sat at the end of the table, she quickly looked at the paper; it stated that a rave would be taking place out in the woods in West Virginia and that to find out the location you had to wire $200 to a third source and you would get sent a map – Alice stared at the paper, her friend Dan nudged her ‘cool, huh?’ he asked, Alice smiled at him but unconvinced Dan turned toward her, ‘what?’ he asked rolling his eyes, ‘nothing!’ said Alice forcing a smile, ‘I know you and I know that you're not digging this’ Dan said knowingly, ‘I just…’ Alice paused ‘is it a good idea?’ she finally said, ‘Dan raised his eyebrows and pierced his lips, Ellie over heard them and interjected, ‘Are you real? this party is THE party, you’re either there or you’re nothing, you can count on the rest of your year being spent in your room, watching Gossip Girl and crying into your pillow, you have to be kidding…is it a good idea, it’s the best! and to be brutally honest, if you don't see that then your space in the car should be filled by somebody else.’ she said, scolding Alice, flicking her hair Ellie looked back over her shoulder at Dee, who looked embarrassed, Alice had no idea where to look, Dan nudged her again and smiled ‘I guess she’s on her period’ her said sarcastically motioning to Ellie, Alice laughed and lightly slapped her friends arm, Ellie gave her another growl and she walked away, followed by Dee, her boyfriend Mario and Lou, leaving Dan and Alice sitting at the table together, ‘she’s kind of right you know’ said a voice behind them, sitting the other side of the table was Anthony, their ever enthusiastic friend, her leaned over the table and took a peek at the invite, ‘you going?’ he quizzed Alice and Dan, ‘Yeah, but only if Alice does’ said Dan giving his friend puppy dog eyes, ‘that is so unfair!’ she exclaimed letting out a small laugh, Dan started at her some more, his bottom lip upturned quite comically, ‘fine!’ exclaimed Alice flailing her arms in the air, ‘yay’ said Dan smiling and hugging Alice. Quickly Alice, Dan and Anthony raised from the table and walked into the hall way laughing.

Next day Ellie and her boyfriend Tyler are walking hand in hand down the hall, making love eyes at each other when Mario crashes into them, pulling his arm around their shoulder he leans between them, ‘I need your cash’ he said pointedly, Tyler looked at him straight faced and smirked, ‘why?’ he asked thinking Mario had lost his mind, ‘for the rave, I’m having the map sent to Dee’s and I can wire the cash today because I have a free period’ he explained, Ellie and Tyler smiled, she quickly opened up her smart bag and pulled out two $20 dollar bills, waving it in front of Mario, he quickly snatched it away and left them to it. Making his way over to Dee he draped his arms over her, exposing the cash he had on him, ‘is that everyone?’ asked Dee taking the money and flicking through it, suddenly she stopped, ‘we are short’ she said wincing, ‘how?’ asked Mario squinting his eyes, because we need another person or we aren’t going, unless you want to pay extra?’ she quizzed her boyfriend, ‘erm…No!’ he said quickly, ‘Ohh wait, IDEA!’ he said clapping his hands, ‘ask the freshman that’s always hanging with Alice and Dan!’ he says smiling at himself, Dee rolled her eyes and smiled also ‘I love it when you have good ideas baby’ she said sweetly, stealing a quick kiss from Mario and hurriedly walking away ‘Where you going?’ he asked watching Dee stroll away into the crows of people and rushing over to Dan who is stood talking to some friends and Alice, ‘you need to get that kid to come to the rave!’ Dee said baffling them both, ‘Anthony!’ she said happily, ‘he’s too young’ said Alice shaking her head, ‘we need another person to come or none of us go’ said Dee slightly frowning, ‘I mean, we could ask?’ said Dan hoping Alice would agree, ‘no way, it is not fair to take a freshman, we won’t even know what to do with himself’ said Alice factually, ‘but we could at least ask!’ said Dee battling her friend, ‘it can’t hurt to ask’ said Dan siding with Dee, ‘fine but you have to look after him!’ said Alice pointing to Dan, ‘I will’ he confirmed pretending to bite Alice’ finger, Dee smiled broadly and bit her lip, how she was excited!

Friday night and Dee is alone in her house, flicking through the TV stations she paused momentarily, watching a few seconds of a chat show, then a soap opera, finally she reached a music station and she relaxed, snuggling into the leather sofa she hums along with the tune, rhythmically bopping her head slightly, she flicked the remote a few more times and sighed, switching off the TV she reached for her cordless telephone, she quickly dials a number and held the phone to her ear as it rang she gazed around the room, looking for something to entertain herself, ‘hello’ called a manly voice at the other end of the phone, ‘Dan baby’ said Dee smiling for no apparent reason, ‘Oh hey Dee, what up?’ asked Dan, ‘I’m bored as hell’ she said feeling sorry for herself, ‘at leas you don’t have to baby-sit, bitch’ replied Dan quickly, no sympathetic tone to his voice, suddenly Dan shouted in the background ‘get off of the table now, I'm warning you!’ he shouted, obviously at his little sister – Dee laughed she could hear his sister cussing Dan out in the distance. ‘Oh hey did you ask Anthony?’ quizzed Dee, ‘Yeah he’s in’ said Dan slowly with a sigh, Dee quickly sat up and got out of her snug seat, making her way over to the front door to her coat, when she’d left her cell phone, ‘give me his cell phone number so I can reach him and tell him when to be ready, Ellie will be severely pissed if he’s la…’ suddenly Dee screamed and threw the phone through the air, she saw somebody run past her door, the glass stained she only saw the figure, from the phone Dan could be heard calling Dee’s name, she slowly approached the door, getting ever closer when she heard a car outside screech away, Dee cautiously unlatched the door and opened it, she quickly saw a cardboard box on the stoop, on her tip toes Dee ran out into the cold night, her breath leaving a smoke like trail behind her, she quickly picked up the box and dashed back inside, closing the door behind her, as the shut it she could still hear Dan shouting her name over the phone, holding the box under her arm she picked up the phone, ‘Hey’ she said walking back into her living room she explained what had happened, she pulled open the box and saw a satellite navigation device, ‘what is it?’ asked Dan enthusiastically, Dee held up the machine in front of her and smiled, ‘our map’ she said giddily.

The car trunk slams shut and Tyler and Mario look on as Ellie pulls another case through the front door, ‘how many do you need!?’ hollered Mario, baffled at Ellie brings the second suitcase to be stored in the already crammed trunk, Ellie glared at him and pulled the case along the floor, scraping the material, Mario shakes his head and walks away as Ellie ignores him and opens the back door, struggling she heaves the case into the back and slams the door shut, her hair in a pony-tail she flips her head in disgust at Tyler and Mario deciding not the help, the silence only broken by the twitter of birds in the trees lining the house, Tyler laughs as Mario talks to him and Ellie walks back into the house and sees Dee and Anthony sitting on the couch laughing and talking, ‘where the fuck are Dan and Alice?’ she demands, stamping one foot to the ground, securing her authority, just as Ellie begins to launch into a tirade of abuse about their lateness a car horn sounds and arching her back she peeks around the door to see Alice car backing up her drive way, Anthony and Dee stand up leisurely and follow Ellie outside, they all gather at Tyler’s car and Dee pulls the sat-nav out of her Dior, brazenly resting on her wrist for everyone to see, Tyler fiddles with the technology for a moment and then leans in his open window and sticks the black TV like machine to his dashboard, Ellie links arms with Dee and they stare at Tyler as he speaks, ‘Okay, lets go have fun’ he says slapping the bonnet of his car, he and Mario take the front seats, joined by Ellie, Dee and Lou in the back seats and Anthony and Alice in the extra seating in the trunk, they are all squeezed tight, shuffling for extra room they all get comfortable, Tyler slips a CD into the stereo and they begin their journey…

MEANWHILE...

Manic panting and rushed footsteps, leaves brushing to a side, somebody is running, and they are running fast, their breaths short, their voice cracking as they talk to themselves, ‘shit’ whispers the person breathlessly, their short breaths making their speech hard to hear, suddenly a maniacal laugh, psychotic, the most frightening sound the person had heard, the girl stopped dead, she holds her breath as she listens cautiously for that laugh, the one she seemed to recognize, she took two steps forward, breathing shallowly as she did, her eyes dancing around the dense trees, sunlight pounding down on her skin, her shirt dirty and soaked from sweat, she took another step, placing her hands onto a close by tree, she held herself steady as she watched for movement, listened for any sudden sounds, urging herself on she walked slowly forward, between trees she stood, twitching her head to look around, she seemed petrified, the sweat dripping from her brow and down her face, she raises her hand and wipes her hair from her eyes, she needed not to panic, not to run, she’d seen them, witnessed those things tear her friend apart, desperately she starts walking faster, jogging but keeping a vigil on her surroundings, she had no idea where she was, or where she was going, all she knew was that she needed to get out of the woods, to find people, a road, anything but the woods she had been running through for hours, as she runs she hears branches snapping, are they her feet causing the snaps? She has no idea but the sheer fright causes her to sprint, holding her hands out pushing stray braches from her face, suddenly she grounds to a halt, a road! grasping at her chest she breaths heavily, relieved, she quickly jumps over a pile of rocks and in doing so she falls to the ground, clambering to pick herself up she finds an arrow embedded in the tree, quickly she looks around, like an animal, aware of a predator, she backs away from the tree and suddenly somebody grabs her from behind, struggling she kicks her feet, attempting to scream the persons hand meets her mouth, slapping her mouth closed, disallowing her to scream, to signal to anyone that she needed help, she muffles a scream, desperate to escape, her attacks hand is deformed, their fingers stumpy and twisted, she could taste the dirt from their hand in her mouth, the person grunted and kept a firm hold but somehow, by a fantastic chance she manages to bite at their hand, shouting in pain, she is released, blood smearing across her mouth and cheek and she breaks free, quickly she runs, but all of a sudden her foot is in excruciating pain, dropping to the floor she looks down, her foot snared in a bear trap, she screams and looks on as her attacker runs at her, his mouth wide, face twisted and mutated, eyes bulging he gets ever closer, she sees in his hand a large axe, rusted and bloodied, he swings it into the air and she holds her hand up to stop him, her only form of defence from this mad man, she lets out a scream which is cut short. SLICE, three fingers and a segment of her hand drop to the floor, the hunter releases his weapon and looks down, the blade embedded into the girls face, her two remaining fingers pinned to her disfigured face, blood oozing out of her mouth, the blade slicing through her left eye ball. The man tilts his head and smiles, his teeth brown and full of holes; he licks his lip and reaches down, pulling his victim onto his shoulder and letting out another sinister laugh.

Friday 13th Trailer

I am really stoked for the new Friday 13th remake!

Survival

The door burst open, panting, out of breath, six people ran inside, one girl shouldering another, dragging her weary body over to a near by couch, the two guys within the group slam the door shut, one of them upturning a close by table, sending paper and pens into the air and scattering to the ground, pushing it quickly in front of the large wooden door he breathed a sigh of relief. All was quiet, the house seemingly abandoned. One of the girls stood tentatively at the window, peering through the blinds obscuring the window. In the background she could hear the other people she had entered with talking, raised voices, obviously deeply panicked.

‘She’s going to bleed to death’ said one girl, elevating her voice above anyone else, ‘we need to get her to a hospital or she does not stand a chance!’ she added, holding a scrap of cloth onto the bleeding girls blooded shoulder. ‘You think any hospital is going to be different?’ said one guy, pushing his way past another girl standing close, ‘You think they haven’t reached every hospital in the fucking area by now?’ he cursed, agitated. ‘Tyler, we have to try’ said the girl he pushed past, looking at her friend struggling for breath on the sofa. ‘We need to end it’ said Tyler edging his hand behind his back and pulling out a gun. ‘What the fuck man!’ called the other guy, grabbing at Tyler’s arm, ‘You can’t just shoot her!’ he demanded, pushing Tyler’s arm down to his side, Tyler struggled and aimed the gun at the other guy, his face contorted, getting more aggravated, ‘don’t fucking test me Dan’ said Tyler through gritted teeth, Dan quickly backed away holding his hands up in submission, ‘okay, alright, calm down’ he said softly trying to sooth the situation, the girl tending to her sick friend stood up and stared at Tyler, still pointing the gun at Dan, ‘You won’t solve anything by hurting more people you selfish bastard!’ she cried, pointing her finger at him, ‘she will be fine, she just needs medical attention you..,’ suddenly the girl at the window interrupted, ‘she’s dead already, she’s been bitten, within half an hour she’ll be ripping your throat out’ she said, sternly – ‘is that what you want, Arna?’ she continued, pulling everyone’s attention to her, ‘harsh much, Isabella?’ said Dan giving her a worried look. ‘Harsh or not it’s the truth and if you are honest you know that if we don’t kill Maria now, then Maria will kill us!’ she replied, cutting the warm air with her hand, slapping at the palm of her hand. Suddenly Maria began to cough and splutter, her breath raspy and harsh, Tyler pointed the gun at her, clicking the safety latch off he took aim at her head, ‘Tyler!’ said Dan trying to avert his attention, Isabella pushes her arm in front of Dan, stopping his interjection, Arna standing next to Maria, began to raise her voice, ‘No, you can’t shoot her, you don’t get to decide’ she shouted, sobbing, tears streaming down her flustered face. Mika standing behind Tyler held her hands over her ears, anticipating the deafening sound of the bullet. Tyler leaned over Maria, picking up a cushion he placed it over her head to soften the sound, still coughing and hissing Maria’s struggled breaths are muffled as the cushion smothers her face, ‘It has to be done.’ says Isabella softly grabbing Arna’s arm, the gun clocks and suddenly Arna lunges at Tyler, trying desperately to avert his aim, the gun goes off, making a large bang, deafening. Dan and Isabella lunge backwards, Mika falls onto the wall, holding her eyes closed, struggling the gun goes off again as Tyler pushes Arna strongly to the ground, her face enraged, Isabella reaches down to help Arna up but Arna looks at her, disgustedly and picks herself up, walking behind the couch, suddenly Maria splutters once again, both bullets had missed, Arna runs passed Mika, Tyler watches as she runs to the door, looking closely he sees her holding a fire poker, she reaches for the table by the door and throws it to a side, barely missing Mika who falls back to Dan and Isabella, ‘fuck you!’ screams Arna grasping the door handle, ‘NO!’ shrieks Isabella holding her hand up as a stop sign, but to no avail, Arna swings the door open and is immediately met by a horde of people, zombified, blood stained people, some with chunks of their face, neck and upper body missing, deep bite wounds littering their frail bodies, Arna screams as they rush their hands at her body, pulling her towards them, clawing at her clothing, her skin. Mika screams loudly and pushes her way past Dan and Isabella, both too shocked to move – watching on as Arna is pulled out of the door and repeatedly bitten, her screams desperate and heartbreaking, ‘Fuck’ shouts Tyler as the zombies dash past Arna and into the large room, he unloads four or five bullets into the room, each hitting the zombies in the head, their brain matter exploding out the back of their head, unrelenting they run into the room, quickly, almost like water they pile in, Tyler keeps shooting and edging backwards, Isabella, Dan and Mika quickly run around the sofa towards a hall way, as they do so Maria sits up, the cushion falling from her face, revealing an evil, menacing scowl, she reacts immediately, grasping at Isabella as she quickly tries to run past, screaming she tries to defend herself, seeing the onslaught of Zombies quickly following her and her friends, suddenly Mika smashes Maria in the face with a metal lamp, averting her attention, allowing her, Isabella and Dan to slip past, Isabella looked at the zombies, the once human beasts, who are now fixed in the doorway, pulling Arna’s body limb from limb, eating away at her fresh and organs, she carries on running to the hallway, clear, nothing obstructing them, suddenly Tyler jumps in front of them, still holding the gun, with a flash he takes the lead as all four run into the hallway, slamming shut the door, the sound of ripping flesh is still heard, the moans of the zombies ever as intimidating, Mika catches her breath and runs to the kitchen area, pushing herself onto the work tops she peers through the window, seemingly peaceful, it looks deserted, she looks around the garden and sees a wooded area, trees, maybe a forest backing onto the garden, she quickly looks back around at Tyler, Isabella and Dan, ‘we need to head for the trees’ she exclaims, Dan walks over to the window, ‘she’s right’ he says, looking at her, reassuringly caressing her shoulder, Tyler and Isabella join them and quickly the four try and find the exit, the door they entered is now being pounded, Isabella looks on as the door rattles and bends as their pursuers hammer at the door, trying to find their next meal. Tyler suddenly finds the back door, ‘here!’ he says bluntly, pulling at the handle, Mika and Isabella join him, willing him to pull open the door, Dan also joins them and hangs a key in front of Tyler’s face, Tyler snatches it with a snort and quickly unlocks the door, opening it slowly he sneaks out into the pitch black, no noises at all, incredibly peaceful, Mika and Dan quickly follow as does Isabella holding a large kitchen knife, they huddle together and head for the trees, Tyler holding the gun out in front, his trigger finger itchy, awaiting the need to fire.

They quickly reach the edge of the woods and suddenly they hear moaning, they all flinch as they see a large group of Zombies within the trees, ‘Oh my god, back to the house’ says Isabella, almost whispering, Dan and Mika turn around and bump into Isabella and Tyler, still facing the trees, the zombies from the house have broken out, the back door crashes open and they quickly run at Tyler and his friends, dashing in opposite directions the friends try and avoid the zombies, Mika and Dan sticking together they run across the yard, pushing at a gate leading back onto the street, the Zombies get ever close, Dan picks up a baseball bat from the floor nearby and attacks, smashing the ravenous monsters in their heads, forcing them to back up and fall to the floor, Isabella backs up into corner and wields the kitchen knife, the zombies relentlessly attacking her, she stabs the knife into their skin, blood exploding everywhere, covering her, fighting for her life Isabella screams and forces the attacking zombies away, giving herself space to swing the blade, swinging her arm she stanbs one in the head, the knife protruding the other side, the street lights allowing the red of the blood to shine like crystals, she retracts the knife and pushes the dead body aside with a heroic grunt, she looks at Dan and Mika, sees them struggle and she dashes to their aid, Mika still trying to open the gate as a zombie pushes past Dan and lunges at her, reacting quickly she picks up a shovel and swings it at the monster, slamming the sharp edge into it's face, scalping it and causing blood to spray all over her, another zombie runs at her, suddenly a gun shot and the zombie falls to the floor as the smoke from the gun whisks into the air, Isabella and Dan carry on fighting as the remaining zombie attacking them, Tyler suddenly runs over, Isabella looks at his concentrated face, following his eye line she looks over at the door, a motor bike is on it’s side, gasoline pouring onto the floor, he takes aim and shoots, the gasoline explodes, erupting into chaos, the back of the house obliterated, debris dropping to the floor, shards of glass twinkling like stars at they fall from the sky, the zombies still inside moaning and almost screaming as their flesh melts, suddenly another explosion detonates, a small metal barbeque near by explodes, the metal shooting through the air, hearing a whooshing sound the four duck for cover, Isabella looks up as they all fall to the floor, as she does she sees Tyler, a huge chunk of metal penetrates his head, almost cutting it clean off, he slumps to the floor, blood gushing from his head wound, Mika’s eyes widen as his neck pulsates, Isabella moves away as blood sprays the floor, ‘Ty...’ says Dan, slapping his hands over his mouth, in the distance the zombies in the house are still screaming, looking on the friends can see the undead running around, engulfed in flames, Isabella is the first to stand up, she walks to Tyler and unlatches his grip on the gun, she pushes his open eyes closed and looks at him admirably, turning around she sees Dan and Mika embraced, she pushes past them and kicks open the fencing, Dan and Mika stand up, Mika struggling to walk, wounded by the blast that killed Tyler, she clings to Dan as they walk through the gate, looking into the road they see a convoy of vehicles, people walking on foot, a woman points a gun at them, a man joins her, Isabella raises her gun and they suddenly drop theirs, ‘survivors!’ the man says wide eyed, ‘not seen any of you guys for about twelve blocks’ he says, Isabella relaxes her stance and lets her arm hit her side, ‘are you coming?’ says the woman, motioning for Mika, Isabella and Dan to follow, they do so, joining a large group of armed people, police, army and civilian, in the distance they hear gun shots but the traffic keeps moving, explosions and fire is all around, but they are safe…for now.
