We get in their truck after the creature had buzzed off. They take us back to "The Plant". We wanted to go back because we now knew that outside was dangerous. Something told us not to go back but we still did. We had to believe anything they said at this point, everything they had said up to now had been true. It was just then Sharpie jumped out in front of the truck and we fishtailed it into a tree. It was a heavy crash. I try to start the truck and it won't start. We all eventually agree our best bet is to get out and run to our other yet possibly contaminated truck. It was also very far. It was risky but we get out one by one and run in that direction. We were all out at this point and running with Sharpie chasing us making a very unsettling noise. It was a shriek/scream. We run and run and run. The truck isn't far at this point but still far enough where anything could happen. I hear a scream and so does everyone else because they turn around to see cash hurt and bleeding out. Bailey is the first to run to his aid. I second that. Sharpie had scratched his arm pretty deep. Sharpie got closer and it was at this point I got a better look at it than before. No eyes, Wrinkly skin, long teeth, tall, long nails and still that green tint to its skin.
Sharpie ran at me, with a vengeance. I had been looking at Cash's arm before he ran at me. I fell over at this point. I got back up to see Sharpie's face right in mine. He made a low growling noise and left. I dont know why but he just left. I soon figured out why. I returned very slowly to observing Cash's arm. His eyes were now tearing up, I assumed in pain. I liked him, a lot. Bailey seemed like a good person so I didn't want to intervene. And I didn't. But I did want to a few times. His arm was starting to swell up and green stuff was filling up in it. I could see little worms or something moving inside of it. His whole arm was shaking now. It was making me disgusted. I wanted to vomit. I wanted all of this to be over.
