I look down at the gun, and I smile. But I soon noticed that it was out of ammo, and I didn't have any bullets stocked up. And that's when I hear the front door open. "What the hell are you doing?" Slenda's voice boomed loudly as she spoke. "Uhh, holding a gun?" I say more as a question than a statement, hoping she'd buy my horrible excuse. "Mike, don't you dare lie to me. How in the actual fuck did you learn how to shoot?" Her loud voice brought the others out to stare at me weirdly. "I... don't know." I say. Slenda, somehow, morphed her mask to look extremely angry. "Bull crap. You know how you gained this power. So you better tell me before I rip that gun in half." I gulp nervously and, attempt to explain what is happening, "... So remember when I was shot. Well the hunter kinda left his gun with me after he ran away. I thought nothing of the gun, and wanted to put it on display in my room if I lived." I pause for a second, thinking of a way to explain what happened, "When I woke up the second time, this morning, I stumbled my way to my dresser. After putting on some clothes, I saw the gun. I signed my name on it, and... it started to speak to me. It told me it could improve my healing ability, and use it as a powerful weapon. I accepted its offer, and suddenly I felt no more pain. So I assume the gun gave me the power to aim and shoot." Slenda's anger calms down a bit, but it looked like she still wanted to tear my head off, "And why, exactly, did you accept its offer?" I nervously shuffle as I say, "Well, it promised me power. The power to help protect my new family. A family that genuinely cares for me." Everyone stood shocked at what I said. "You don't think we can protect ourselves?" Jackie asks accusingly. "I don't doubt you can't protect yourselves. I just figured I could help you guys out." Again, everyone looked at me weirdly. "Look Mike, you didn't have to do th..." Benny was cut off by a loud gun shot. I looked at the girls faces, and for some reason they were terrified. The weird thing is, they were looking at me. I felt around my body until I found a hole and a bunch of blood. My head looks down at my side. I'm bleeding. Soon more gunshots erupted in the forest.
I turn to see a lot of hunters. I didn't know there were that many of them but I didn't have time to think about that, "Mike get inside we'll deal with this." Slenda says. Before I was able to say no, they were off to battle. I, obviously, ran out to help them out. But I soon realized that I have no bullets. But that didn't stop me, what did stop me was a spiked chain that slammed down in front of me. I fell back onto the ground, and crawled backwards trying to get as much distance from the guy with the chain as I possibly could. I backed into a tree and watched as he slowly approached me. An idea slowly popped into my head. I gathered a small pile of dirt into my hands as secretly as I possibly could. Soon he was right in front of me raising the sharp chain thing. That's when I sprang forwarded and attempted to throw dirt into the guys eyes. I was lucky enough that the dirt hit him in his eyes. He screamed in pain and dropped the chain onto the ground, rubbing his eyes. I jumped to the chain and stood on my feet. I raised the whip (that's what I'm going to call the chain) and slammed it into the guy. Screams filled the forest. The man fell back, blood pouring out of his body. The man screamed in horrible pain as I kept hitting him... and finally there was silence. No one said anything, or did anything. I stood over the man with half of a head on his body. The girls looked at him with a terrified look in their eyes. The once innocent 18 year old kid, had just killed a man. After a minute, I started walking towards the frozen battle. Soon the fighting kicked up again, and I began slashing into each hunter with my whip.
I dropped three more guys until I was hit hard on the back of my head. I feel to the ground my vision slowly fades as I watch each girl drop down suddenly. They were knocked out. My eyes close for a minute.

. . .

When I awoke they were all gone. The girls, and the hunters. The only thing that remains is the people that died in the battle. I was still laying on the ground with a couple pieces of stones acting as my pillows. I slowly stood up, and searched my body. I had my gun in my pocket, and the whip on the ground in front of me. I picked up the whips handle, and found a small button on it. I pressed it and the chain retracted into the handle. I shoved the handle into my other pocket. I looked at the dead bodies around me and decided to search them. I went to the first guy I whipped. Only now did I realize how violent I was. Pieces of brain and skull littered the area around the dead body, and a small pool of dried blood collected underneath the body. The body smelt like decay, I nearly puked at the smell and my gruesome actions in the past. I hit the guy so much that his head, basically, exploded. I killed four people in cold blood. I slowly got over the smell, and decided to search the guy. What I found was a holster for the whip, which was weird at first but I soon clipped it onto my pants. I slid the whip into the holster, and clipped it into place. I stood up leaving the body behind, and searched another one. I walked up to the body and crouched down in front of it. This body had a gun holster-belt hybrid. I put the belt holster on and slid the gun into it. Again, I clipped the gun into place. Another body had a pouch filled with .44 magnum bullets that worked with my gun. I smiled and pulled my gun out, loading the bullets into the gun. I put the gun back into the holster. I then clipped the pouch onto my belt. The final body, that I decided to check, had more bullets that I put into my pouch.
I finished what I was doing and looked towards the house. It looked normal, nothing was off about it. I slowly walked up to it, and found something wrong.

To Be Continued...

Yay, I got another chapter done. So yeah, that's cool. Thank you for reading and enjoy your day.
