Bright, full moon was shining above the asylum. A loud, psychopathic laugher could be heard, a thud of a pulled down pallet following right after. A shock, a laugh, a scream - repeat.
"You're awfully joyful tonight, doctor!" You shouted as you jumped through the window on your left in the last moment, right before a weapon covered in sharp spikes came crashing into the wooden frame. "What happened? Entity' s proud of you after last round? Ha! That's a good jo- Whoa!" You stumbled to the ground when you felt a harsh push from behind.
The doctor loomed above you with a bored expression. No joy from earlier, only unamused stare. You quickly got up and started running. What the heck? Well, alright, you knew you could be pretty annoying and all, but to break the doctor's happy face? If it even could be considered a happy face... Someone who has some "dental appliance" as a support for his/her face to be smiling forever is sick! Of course, you'd understand longer nails or claws like The Hag's, but dental appliance just to keep smiling? Sick was the only word you could think of right now.
You cried out as you felt a metal weapon hit your shoulder blades. "Jake! Claudette?! Dwight! Help!" You shouted into the asylum hoping for at least one of your friends to hear your cries and help you. But nobody came, and so you whimpered quietly jumping through another window and pulling the nearest pallet down as soon as you came across it.
"Why are you always after me?!" You shouted desperate for an answer. After all, you needed one. The doctor was always after you as the first person to catch, when you two came across each other. Funny, isn't it? He has four survivors on the arena and even when he sees three of them, he leaves them behind and comes seeking for you, and you only. "What did I do?! Why me?!"
Doctor only laughed and started walking faster than before. You, without much thinking, ran faster and hid around the corner after many turns. You were hoping to loose him or at least make him go away for one minute. Then, you could heal yourself, knowing how to do it thanks to Claudette. She showed you how to do it properly without actually hurting yourself in the process. Oh, you were so going to thank her after this trial and show her how to repair generators. Seriously, she failed every single time. That's why she's the healing specialist and you're from repairing stuff. Jake on the other hand always breaks the hooks and Dwight is a good distraction for the killer. Meg was your repairing partner from the very start, Nea was good at hiding and helping others in the worst moments and Laurie was a good companion, like Bill or Claudette. After spending a year in this forsaken place you really grow on people, even those awful and mean ones, like Ace, for example.
'What is this place doing with me?' You asked youself mentally as you finished patching yourself up. Right when you sighed in relief, you felt a big, heavy, harsh hand grabbing your arm. You gasped and tried to hit your opponent out of pure reflex. You didn't care if it was your friend or a killer. "Better be safe than sorry" as Laurie always said after matches with Michael, in which she hit you accidentally. You forgave her every time, because everyone would do something like that in a place like this, where you have multiple killers wanting to kill you.
Suddenly you felt your fist getting caught by a far bigger hand. You looked up slowly and barely held back a scream. There was the Trapper standing right in front of you and staring at you from behind that creepy, grinning mask. You gulped. How was he here? You've seen the doctor, he was the killer in this trial, so why was Trapper here? There can't be two killers in one match, right?
"Heeeya, Trappy... Why are you here?" You asked trying to smile and not to scream, even though you were panicking on the inside. You heard a grunt as the response and his grip on your arm only tightened. As "good friends" as you may be with Evan, he seemed to be in a bad mood today and apparently wasn't willing to play nicely. He shoved you to the ground and when he was sure you were stunned for the time being, he picked you up and flipped you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. The instant you realised what was happening you started tossing and wiggling and hitting his back, hoping to get out of his iron grasp.
For a moment you felt as if your hope was lost, a hook getting nearer and nearer. Then, you heard the sound of the last generator being finished and the sound of opening gates. Unfortunately for you, you also heard a maniac laugher near you and Evan. 'Great' you thought sarcastically. 'All I needed was him of all people right now'.
The Doctor, or as you heard Evan growl "Herman", was now standing in front of your supposed-to-be-your-death-tool. He had a rather irritated expression on his face as he looked at Evan with bloodlust in his eyes.
"What now, Herman?" Evan asked the killer before him with easily detected by you venom towards the Doctor. You were very suprised at first. You've never heard any of them talk! Well, beside Anna and the D*ckmare of course.
"Let her go. It's my trial, not yours Evan" said Herman, strangely calm for such a situation.
"Right. So?" The Trapper laughed. "I already killed one survivor. And you none. See where it got you? Two of them escaped!" Wait, What? In all that stress you haven't even heard the screams of one of your friends! Dammit, why couldn't you calm down for a second in this freaking place?! You could have helped or something, and now you are here. Between two fighting for your death killers, because of a stupid glitch!
"Yeah. So?" The Doctor mocked the second killer. "It's my match. Give her to me" he hissed and for once his supported grin fell into a scowl. You could swear he was ready to attack any second now.
"Alright, alright. But next time I won't be so easy going" Evan threatened Herman as he shoved you to the ground for the second time this round. "You're both lucky my mood improved after killing this one survivor. I think Dwight was his name" Yeah, duh. He was always the first one to die, silly.
"Just go already" Herman sighed rolling his eyes. Trapper huffed and shook his head walking away. When he disappeared behind the corner you felt a tug at your shirt as you were pulled into standing position. You felt a cold, gray hand on your shoulder and you came face to torso of the killer you feared would kill you in a few minutes.
Instead of hitting you with his weapon, he only looked you in the eyes and laughed slightly. "Are you alright? Evan can be pretty harsh if you don't know him or you're a survivor, but I assure you, he's not that bad" he laughed happily freezing you instantly.
Did he just... talk to you? "Em, yeah? I-I'm fine?" You asked more than said. You couldn't process what was happening. A killer talking to his prey?
"That's good. Now, I'll give you five minutes to escape. Go!" He shouted and shoved you forward. You stumbled, but kept your balance so you wouldn't fall for the 5th time in the row.
"What? Just like that? I thought you were supposed to kill me!" You yelled not understanding any of what was going on today.
"I'm doing an exception tonight. Now go, before I change my mind. Shoo!" He laughed maniacally.
You turned around and started running, only to stop near the corner and the window. You looked back at the killer who, surprisingly, saved you from another killer and let you go. He was smiling at you. Not in a mean or psychopathic manner, but he was actually standing there, watching you go with a welcoming, nice smile. You, not knowing what to do anymore, smiled back slightly and jumped through the window, running towards the exit.
Who knew a sadistic murderer might save you? Well, not you, that's for sure.
