Chapter 1: Bad start

Third Person POV:

____________________________________

As the engine of the overturned coach bus finally sputtered to a stop, an eerie silence in the forest. Its ungraceful crash left a mark through the forest foliage, leaving a path of broken branches, glass, and displaced plants across the woods. The bus lay awkwardly on its side, revealing its underbelly that was dented and scratched,

The sun started to settle along the horizon, leaving the sky in a beautiful orange and purple hue as the woodland surrounding the vehicle stayed peaceful, with the only exception being the faint noise of a running river nearby.

An hour had passed since the bus experienced its unwelcome clash with the woods landscape, and despite the passage of time, the scene remained frozen, devoid of any signs of movement.

That was until Tenn, who was still sprawled on his stomach in the wrecked coach bus, finally began to stir, breaking the stillness that had lingered on the bus. His gradual awakening was accompanied by a series of painful coughs, groans, and a small struggle to push himself up.

It was a slow, laborious process, But Tenn had eventually managed to thrust himself up, finding a quick relief by sitting on his knees, He clutched his head with both hands as he tried to soothe his head with his eyes still locked shut. His head was spinning, his body ached all around, and it was even painful for him to breathe! It took him a while, but he now had fully regained consciousness, Tenn opened his eyes slowly only to realize he was right next to a fresh corpse...

His eyes widened in fear as the blood drained from his face almost in an instant. He immediately scrambled to his feet, screaming in horror as he backed up frantically, trying to get away from it but stumbled over some overturned luggage and fell back on his ass.

Tenn, still a bit dazed, sat there for what felt like an eternity, looking around the inside of the bus, he saw nothing but carnage. bodies on top of each other, luggage scattered, and fresh blood all over the place, even trailing the roof of the bus!

It was too much for Tenn that he almost puked from the sight.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!" tenn thought as he brought his hands to his mouth,

"T-this just CANNOT be real! It just can't! I refuse! it doesn't make any sense.. One minute, we were all fine on the road, and the next—" Tenn paused momentarily as he had trouble recalling what happened next...

The blue light..!

Is that thing responsible for this!?

...

I can figure that out later... Right now, I gotta help everyone..!

"H-HEY IS ANYONE CONSCIOUS? HELLO??" Tenn shouted out with uncertainty, hoping for a response.

Silence rang out through the bus, tenn quickly stood to his feet, shaking a little as he was still taking in the horrid sight while slowly backing up. While doing so, he bumped into something.. or rather someone. it was spread out so he couldn't go around it so he had to look back. He didn't want to, but he knew he had to get around the object blocking his path. He hesitantly looked back and saw something that would be forever burned into his memory.

It was Francis. laying face down in his blood...

...

Tenn stared at his body in horror for a while, not wanting to believe this was real, this couldn't be real!
