The Cult Of Seven Devils

Chapter 4: It destroys.

[8:30 pm June 20, 1989]

I still feel...dizzy and lightheaded. I still can't get what it was saying out of my head...it's like...it wanted us to know something. Dahlia and Sakka are still fighting that thing and I hear screams from Dahlia and the...voice of that thing...I hope both of them are doing alright.

When the others ran to the cabin they knew it was over. The cabin had open holes and messed up floorboards, the inside was a mess and had trash everywhere. "We can search here for items to help fix the generator and essential needs," Ali says. "We won't be able to stay here as you insisted Itsuki because this place isn't in as great a state as we thought."Itsuki nodded "Right, let's...search..." he muttered, nearly passing out. He began to fall but with a swift reaction time, Ali caught him. "No, we search and you rest. Here, I'll help you walk to the couch." Ali placed Itsuki on the old busted couch next to a lantern and an old piece of paper. "Stay here and rest. Wait until Dahlia and Sakka get back and they'll be able to assist you while me and the others search for items," Ali insisted with a worried look as Itsuki looked dead inside like a zombie. Ali, Quinn, and Hunter began to search the old cabin finding nothing more but an old safe that wouldn't open, old books, beds, lanterns, and other old things. The place was very dusty and most stuff was covered in it. Ali went into an old room and pushed back old bunk beds to reveal a mime mask that was in perfect condition. He picked it up and dusted it off and out of curiosity, decided to keep it. "I wonder what this was even doing in there..odd. He thought. Behind an old bookshelf, Hunter had found a box of wires in perfect condition. "Hey guys I found a box of wires behind this bookshelf." "Neat," Quinn shouted, "now we can probably use these to fix the generator back at the tower" Quinn suggested. "Yep." Ali nodded. Itsuki stared at them as they discussed what to do next, he then turned his attention to the strange paper on the table with a lantern, it read: "I'm done hunting. I'm done with everything. I can't sleep without hearing him. That sound won't leave my head.". Itsuki wondered He's experiencing the same problem I am...well sort of.

The others were still discussing when all of a sudden the door slammed open. Caught in fear Ali pulled out the gun but to their realization, it was just Sakka. "Oh, it's just Sakka," Ali says, slowly putting down the gun. Sakka stood there looking down at the ground with a blank expression. He looked dead. "Well, aren't you gonna come in? And where's Dahlia?" Hunter asked. Sakka didn't respond but still had the same dead stare. "Sakka, where's Dahlia..." Hunter asked again but he still didn't respond. The air began to choke as Hunter became furious and the others didn't know what to say. "Are you fucking deaf now? Where the hell is Dahlia!" He screams. "Hunter, chill-" Ali says before Hunter slaps his hand. "I'm not gonna calm down until I know where the hell she is!" he shouted. Sakka still didn't move, he didn't speak, he was traumatized. "Did you sabotage her? Did you feed her off? I knew you were bad from the start. That suspicious look you gave when I said she was being chased...you probably didn't even help her." he remarked slowly walking to him. "Hunter..don't," Itsuki says slowly getting up. Hunter grabs Sakka by the shoulders and yells in his face. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER TELL ME, TELL ME NOW, TELL US!" Sakka finally snapped back after all the yelling hurt the trapped words..he spoke. "SHE'S GONE!" he screamed looking up at Hunter with tears on his face. "She's gone..." The room went quiet as the sound of old water dripping from the roof, breaking the thick silence. "There, I've said it, are you happy?!" Everyone stared at Sakka with dead eyes. Hunter let go of Sakka and backed away slowly with a dead look in his eyes. "How- why- you...you," he shuddered. "I stunned the monster with a bullet to the [---] and we got out of there but it caught us...and I ran out of bullets...there was nothing I could do," he explained looking at her pink bow with tears in his eyes. Hunter looked at Sakka with a death stare and with the blink of an eye, he ran toward him and kicked him right in the stomach. Everyone was shocked to see the sight of one of their best friends acting like a monster. "HUNTER, WHAT THE FUCK!" Ali screamed. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" Hunter said nothing but all he did was watch Sakka cough in pain, like a psychopath. "Get up...I said get the fuck up..." Hunter proceeded to grab Sakka by the shirt lifting him in the air by an inch. "She died because of you...she's never coming back because of you...I knew you were a wimp..look at you pathetic...I should've saved her." He said as he looked directly into Sakka's torn eyes. "You couldn't have, that thing is too strong and tall you'll be crus-" Sakka says before getting cut off. "Do you think I care!? At Least I would've tried something!" Hunter grunted. Sakka was so done that he stopped crying he didn't want to let an emotional coward dig him into a deeper hole. "But instead....you did nothing," he replied. Hunter looks pissed and throws Sakka onto the floor and walks out. Itsuki rushes to Sakka and picks him up from the floor. "And just where the hell do you think you're going!?" Ali asked. "You're gonna die out there!" Quinn shouted, but Hunter just walked away into the dark forest with no light, no food, and no company.
