The Legend Lives

The Swamp

Tex and Mindy stepped outside to see the man that shot at them under the truck. He crawled out from under it right where they were standing. Tex giggled as he started hitting him with an axe. The man got up and pulled the axe from his hands.

"Come on, sweetheart", Tex said. "Let's see what you got."

"What the fuck is wrong with you people?" the man asked. "Why can't you leave us alone?"

"We're hungry."

"You never heard of pizza?"

The man swung the axe hitting the gas can on the truck. Tex punched the man giving him a smirk.

"I like liver..." Tex said.

He punched him again before turning to the truck. He grabbed a loose chain off it and wrapped it around the man's neck.

"... and onions. And pain! And pain! And pain!"

Mindy watched as the man grabbed Tex and threw him over his shoulder.

"Tex!"

"You stay right there, honey", Tex said. "I can handle this."

Gas kept pouring from the truck with nobody noticing. Mindy watched the men fight in the mud as the gas continued to pour. Tex grabbed his axe and held it tightly.

"Come on!" he yelled. "Come on! It's time for dinner!"

The man pulled a lighter out of his pocket and lit it.

"You're toast, fuck!" he yelled.

He dropped it in the mud where the gas was. Tex looked down to see the trail of gas that led from the truck... to him. He screamed as his entire body was engulfed in flames.

"Oh my god!" Mindy screamed. "Tex!"

Tex ran back toward the house before he collapsed and burned to death. Mindy looked at his body before looking back at the man. He was running toward the woods. He was going after Thomas next!

"I'm coming, Tommy!" Mindy yelled as she ran toward the woods. "I'm coming!"

------------------------------

Thomas ran through the woods as he chased the girl. His leg brace squeaked loudly in contrast with his running chainsaw. He heard a rope snap a few feet away from him. The girl must've gotten caught in one of their traps. He followed the sounds of her screams until he heard water splashing. She was caught in the trap that led to the swamp they dumped body parts in.

He ran toward the swamp and hid behind the trees. Thomas watched the girl crawl out of the swamp. As she laid in the grass catching her breath, he stepped out from the trees and raised his chainsaw above his head. The girl screamed as he revved his chainsaw.

The man who shot at the house ran toward him and pushed him away from the girl, into the swamp. Startled, Thomas lost his grip on the chainsaw, dropping it in the swamp.

"Tommy!"

The girl looked to see Mindy running with her sledgehammer in her hands. Mindy grabbed her by the hair.

"Where is he?" she asked. "Where's Tommy?"

"Benny!" the girl screamed. "Benny!"

Both girls watched as the men surfaced in the water and fought each other. Mindy was scared as the chainsaw continued running behind them.

"Kill him, Benny!" the girl screamed.

Mindy kicked her as she watched the fight.

"Kill him, Tommy!" she yelled. "You can do it, honey!"

The girl laughed as Thomas was hit in the head with a rock. Enraged, Mindy raised her sledgehammer over her head. The girl looked up and kicked Mindy's legs underneath her, making her fall to the ground. The girl took the hammer and smashed the handle into the back of her head rendering her unconscious.

The girl turned back to the fight. She screamed as she watched Thomas push the other man's head into the running blades of the chainsaw apparently killing him.

Thomas turned his attention to her. He saw Mindy on the ground and yelled in anger. No one hurts his wife. He grabbed the girl by the legs and tried to pull her into the swamp. The girl grabbed a nearby rock and turned to smash his head with it.

"I'm sorry...", she said as she hit him again. "... little... guy..."

She continued hitting him with the rock.

"Tommy?"

Mindy's eyes fluttered open as she saw the girl pull herself out of Thomas' grip.

"Die!" she yelled as she smashed the rock against his head one more time.

Thomas finally went limp as his eyes closed and he began sinking into the water. The girl got up and ran away from the swamp.

"Tommy!" Mindy yelled. "Tommy, are you ok?"

She watched as Thomas' head sank beneath the water.

"TOMMY!"

She got up and dove into the water.
