The Eternal Damnation: Ties that bind (Horror Novel)

Chapter 33. A possible savior

Isaac, Pam, and Felicia were hanging on to the seats of the drill dozer. Clover didn't have to since she was at the very end of the drill dozer.

Pam: Nobody move! Just hang on tight!

Isaac: Clover, are you alright down there?!

Clover: No, not really! It's really terrifying when you're at the very bottom and everyone else up top! I feel like I'm gonna be buried alive!

Isaac: Hold on! I'll come down and get you, and then we're all going to climb up to front!

That's when Isaac leaped down and landed at the bottom of the last train car of the drill dozer. That's when the last train car started to come apart a bit. Clover screamed and backed to the corner.

Felicia: Clover!!

Clover: Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Please God don't let me die like this! Not like this!

Pam: Don't move!! Isaac, you have to carefully climb back up top!

Isaac: I know! Clover, hop on my back!

Clover: Maybe we should just hold still until our friends come and save us!

Isaac: You can trust me, Clover! Come on!

The frightened little girl slowly walked up to Isaac and hopped on his back. Then Isaac slowly started to climb. They could hear the train car trying to break apart, but Isaac knew to watch his movements carefully. But Felicia saw at the last second a rocket launcher was dangling by the strap. And that strap finally snapped after it couldn't support the weight.

Felicia: HEADS UP!!!

Pam acted fast and deployed a grappling hook from her wrist gadget. Isaac leaped and grabbed on to hook in the nick of time before the last train came tumbling down from that rocket launcher landing on the bottom. Isaac climbed on the hook and then swung himself to one of seats, grabbing on to it.

Isaac: Thanks for the help, Pam.

Pam: Don't mention it. Now, let's get the fuck out of here.

Now everyone started climbing up the hanging drill dozer. When they've reached the front train car, they were now safe. And thankfully, the front door wasn't jammed shut. Now that everyone was safe, they all collapsed on the floor and leaned against the upside-down drill dozer.

Isaac: Clover, you alright?

Clover: I wish I stayed in the fucking mall. But thanks, Isaac.

Eventually, their friends arrived inside a bus. They pulled over after seeing the drill dozer upside down and the rest of it was hanging over the cliff. Everyone but Maige were on board.

Tanisha: My God! What happened here?! Is everyone okay?

Pam: A damn demon tried to kill us, but we're good.

Kevin: Man, Maige is going to be mad about this.

Isaac: We'll deal with it later. Let's get back to the mall.

Once everyone got on the bus, Tanisha started driving back to the mall. Thankfully, there was no danger yet. But Isaac frowned after thinking about General Randall again.

Isaac: Hey, has anyone ever heard of the name General Randall before?

Kevin: I spoke to her on the radio once. She's offering a safe haven to those in need. Why does it matter?

Isaac: Any chance you can contact her again?

Matt: Why? Are you suggesting that we should go to her?

Isaac: Most likely. I'm just looking for better options before Dana comes after us again. If Randall is real, we should take her offer.
