Until morning comes

[12]

Nick tried his best to work on the generator as fast as he could, scared of running into the killer once again. Tommy had told him that this ones name was the trapper, because he carries bear traps around with him. Nick wondered if they were once human, if they had lives before this world came to be. Nick wondered if this really was the Macmillan estate.

The Macmillan estate.

Was that place really ever real?

So much to ponder, yet so little time.

It seemed like a never ending cycle of misery and despair, nick could only wonder how much pain the group went through before he came along.

Nick could only wonder what it was like for Ashlie.

Snapping out of his thoughts nick finished the generator and quickly makes a break for it, he had no clue how close the killer was to him when he finished it and he really didn't want to find out.

He could only hope tommy was behind him.

Hiding behind a tree, he peeked over the fallen tracker he had hid behind, but couldn't see Tommy anywhere. Had he not followed nick?

"Hey, psst" nick spun around quickly, a small yell erupted from his throat. Tommy sat behind him, laughing.

"Holy crap dude, you sounded like you were about to give birth out of your mouth!" Tom laughed. Oddly specific nick thought.

Nick narrowed his eyes at Tommy, "I'm a little jumpy ok! We could die at any minute!" Nick exclaims, tommy calms down a bit and smiles at nick.

"Yea, sorry" nick sighs and turns back around, checking the area before standing up and walking over to another generator.

"Why don't you come help me with this thing," nick says, motioning Tommy over. Tommy nervously walks over.

"Uh, how about I just keep watch, ok!" Nick narrows his eyes at Tommy,  before sighing.

"Whatever."

"Nicckkkkkk." Nick groans, but doesn't take his eyes off the Generator.

"What Tommy."

"He's coming!" The two looked at each other before circling a wooden wall, still staying close to the generator. They both heard the monster smashing the generator before moving on.

"Goddamn it!" Tommy panicked.

"Panicking isn't going to get you anywhere." Nick says examining the generator to see the damage the killer did.

"You know panicking burns a shit-ton of calories." Nick looks over at Tommy, his face full of misbelief.

"And who told you that."

"A wise old man." nick snorted before turning back to the generator.

"And who might be that wise old man?." Nick smirked at Tommy. In which Tommy smirked back

"You're looking at him."

"You do realize you just called yourself old right?"

"Shut up."

Ashlie had just finished another generator and was looking for another. She had yet to see anybody from the group and was feeling kind of lonely.

"Uni! God damn it stop running off" Ashlie hears not that far away from here. Cory? She thinks. Running over towards him she spots Cory hiding behind a large rock.

"Psst, Cory!" Corys eyes darted over towards Ashlie, looking like he was about to scream. Ashlie quickly put her finger to his lips, telling him to be quite. Cory visibly relaxes once he realizes it was just the red-headed female he's known for a long time.

"Oh thank god, I thought I'd have to go around alone after Uni ditched me." Cory mumbles and Ashlie smiles.

"I'm sure we'll find him on our way around, have you guys been working on the generators?" She asks kindly and Cory just shacks his head.

"We have, but the stupid killer keeps coming around breaking them! The damn bastard." He narrows his eyes at the ground and Ashlie can't help but smile a little more.

"Well come on! I'm sure we can get one together." Cory looks over at her and smiles.

"Yeah."
