(Little note... I'm sorry about the way Ashley acts near the end of the chapter... It just doesn't work that well if it's Mike so... Sorry. I still like Ashley and I'm not trying to make you hate her, but I need it for the story. I'm sorry Ashley fans,)

~THIRD PERSON P.O.V

Three hours until dawn...

The figure holding the flamethrower kept walking while looking around for the two girls, walking over to where Emily and Max were hiding. They grabbed Max's arm, causing her to scream as Emily tried to pull her away.

"Let her go!" Emily shouted. 

"Shhh! Quiet!" the figure shushed in a clearly fake British accent. 

"NO! STAY AWAY FROM US!" Max shouted. 

The figure rolled their eyes from underneath their goggles. "I won't let you hurt Max!" Emily shouted at them.

The figure growled before they let off Max's arm. "For god's sake, Em. I'm trying to help you both," the figure told them, causing Emily to freeze. 

"That voice..." she muttered before the figure froze.

They looked to their right and saw the thing they were hunting drop from a hole from the top of the tunnel, not too far away. 

The figure took a few steps back before throwing Max and Emily a bag, causing the two to fall over as they grabbed the bag. "Use these! And get the hell out of here and back to the lodge! NOW!" the figure shouted at them as a screech was heard close nearby.

Emily and Max backed away, not noticing the drop/hill that was behind them. The figure used their flamethrower while the two rolled down the drop/hill, screaming as they did so. They landed at the bottom, in another tunnel.

The bag that the figure threw at them, landed on top of Max. She groaned, holding her stomach as the two lay on their backs. "Woah! WHAT?! Oh shit...!" Max muttered as she sat up and looked around. 

Emily did the same thing but looked down in thought. Max looked at her. "You okay?" Max asked her as she stood up, wiping the dirt off her jeans.

Emily stood up as well and did the same thing to her jeans. "I'm fine, it's just... That person sounded so familiar," Emily informed her. 

Max raised an eyebrow. "Really?" 

Emily nodded. "Yeah..." she told her.

Max sighed. "Let's talk about this more when we get out of here," she stated. 

Emily kneeled down to pick up the bag, pulling out the flare as she put the bag on. "Alright," she muttered, twisting the flare top, causing it to start up.

"Yeah! Oh my God! Alright... Alright, let's go," Emily muttered.

"Let's get out of here," Max said, pulling out the flare gun she pocketed, to use as a weapon, just in case.

The two walked down the path and spotted a supply closet open. They walked in and spotted a postcard on the table. Emily picked it up and turned it around.

It read:

Billy Bates
Blasting Crew
North West Mines
Alberta

Hey, Billy.

I had a great time. Look me up if you're ever in Calgary!

Loretta

"Was this Billy... Cheating on her wife?" Max questioned as Emily set it down. 

"If that's true. Then that's just fucked up. He had a wife and child," Emily commented before they walked out of the supply closet.
