Ash walked through the snow, having placed the shotgun back in its holster as he cleaned off all of the blood from his chin. He still tasted a little of it in his mouth, though, and it was not pleasant.
Lost in his own thoughts, Ash didn't notice the large object on the ground before him. His foot connected with the object, sending him to the ground. For the second time in a span of less than five minutes, Ash Williams caught a mouthful of snow.
"Shit, what did I fall over?" He looked to where he had tripped... And set eyes on one of Jarvis' legs! He looked around and saw blood everywhere, all of it coming from the eviscerated young man! The warm blood had melted some of the snow and was pooling around his body, causing the corpse to sit in a small puddle of blood and intestines!
"Shit!" Ash screamed. He got up and stumbled for the house. He burst through a low-hanging branch and nearly ran into Jake's dead corpse1 Ash almost didn't see it, but the light of the moon was casting a reflective halo on the blood pooling around his torso.
"NO!" Ash screamed. "I told them to be careful!" Enraged, Ash grabbed the machete and pulled it from Jake's corpse.
"I coulda fuckin saved them!" He swung the machete in an arc and, at the apex of trajectory, released the blade into the air. It sailed into the light of the moon and landed in the snow nearby.
"Aggghhhhh!" Ash collapsed to his knees and began weeping. "Fuck, I could've saved them! Why can't I save just one?" He sank to his knees in the cold snow. "Why, goddamnit! Why?"
"Ash, is that you?" Ash perked up at the sound of a female voice. "Ash, if that's you, answer me!"
Ash stood and turned around. It was Carrie!
"Carrie!" Ash yelled. "Where are you?" There was a rustling in the brush behind Ash. He raised his shotgun... and pointed at Carrie's frightened face. Once he saw who it was, he lowered the weapon as Carrie's frail frame limped through the thicket of evergreens and collapsed into Ash's arms.
"Carrie," Ash said. "I thought you were all dead!" Carrie stopped a few feet from Ash.
"I thought I was, too! Ash, the whole plan fell to shit! Jason got smart somehow!"
There was a pause while Ash tried to comprehend what Carrie had said. "WHAT?!" he shouted when it finally sank in.
"Freddy did something to make Jason smarter! He knew it was a trap!" Carrie said.
"Where's David?" Ash asked.
"I don't know. He took off with Jarvis and Jarvis is..."
"Dead," Ash finished. "I saw it too." Ash and Carrie heard a rumble above them. Ash looked up at the clouds above them and yelled, "We gotta get inside now!"
The cloud had turned blood red, warping as a face began to emerge and take shape! Freddy Krueger was now staring at them from the clouds, lowering himself to the ground!
"Krueger's coming!" Carrie screamed. The winds had started to howl, and thunder rumbled, with what sounded like Freddy's laugh behind it. Ash dug in his bag for the book as he scrambled inside after Carrie! Ash slammed the door shut and locked it tight!
"That's not going to hold them off for very long," he said. He turned to Carrie, who was sitting on the couch and cradling her leg. "What happened to you?"
"Jason attacked us," Carrie said. "He figured out it was a trap and attacked us in the van!" Carrie winced as she finally pulled her jeans off, revealing a gnarly-looking cut on her thigh.
"Hang on, I've got a first-aid kit in here somewhere," Ash said, digging in his bag for it. He pulled it out and started dressing Carrie's wound.
"Well, I figured out what Freddy wanted with the book! He's trying to turn the entire world into his own personal dreamland, and he needs the Necronomicon to do it! The Necronomicon was here, so he used Jason to get it!"
