"Get him out of here" I hear Jake say after opening my eyes

"Josh duck" Daniel yells

I see Josh go flying into the grass across the road from the alleyway I was in about a minute earlier.

"What is this thing" Ruby asks

"It looks like the figure Charlie was talking about" Kate says

"Ok" Abbey says "How do we beat it"

"Just whack it" Izzy says running at it with a chair leg

I suddenly stop getting dragged away and put up against the wall. I look up and see it was Isabel.

"What happened" I ask

"That thing was choking you and then Calan tackled you and got you out of the figures grip" Isabel replies

"Where's my gun" I ask

"The figure has it still" She responds

"Ok" I say standing up "We have to get it back"

"But your still hurt" Isabel says

"No I'm not" I reply

I sprint towards Calan and jump over the bin he was standing next to. I peek over the top and see the monster facing the opposite direction holding my pistol in his hand. I then leap over the bin , wrap my hand around the gun and roll out in front of the monster pointing the gun at him.

"Stay back" I say still pointing the gun

"Shoot" The figure says walking closer

I pull the trigger and the bullet goes straight through the figures body. The figure then punches me and I go flying into my bike that was parked on the sidewalk.

"This thing can't die" Izzy says getting hit into a wall of a grocery store

"We have to leave" Ruby says running towards Jake's truck

"No" Daniel says "We have to figure out how to damage this thing"

"Daniel's Right" Josh agrees before getting kicked into Calan

"How does it hit us" Kate asks tripping over Calan and Josh

"Kate are you oka..." Abbey says getting punched in the face

"We gotta go" Isabel says getting in her car

"Ruby have my keys" Jake says tossing them towards the truck

"What about the others" Daniel asks before crashing into Jake's car

"Isabel leave" Jake yells rolling behind the bin "Ruby, hop in her car"

Ruby hops into Isabel's car and Isabel starts moving until the figure runs towards them and grabs the car. The figure flips the car upside down then pulls Isabel out of her seat.

"Put her down" Jake says jumping out from behind the bin

"Jake no" I say standing up

Jake runs at the figure then gets flipped over the car and onto the footpath. After Jake hits the floor I grab him and we start running towards my bike.

"I don't know how to beat this thing" Jake says

"That doesn't matter" I say putting him on my bike "Try and find some help"
