After what felt like hours of searching we found another body, he was also dead, killed the same way. "What point is it to kill someone by crushing them or snapping their neck? It would be far more animalistic to kill them by slashing them open so either this thing is intelligent or it can't stand seeing blood. Blood being spilled would give away the bodies's positions and allow for tracking it easier... this is tough... I'll have to keep thinking on it. Odds are the guys kept talking loudly and made themselves easy targets so we should remain quiet just to be safe," and after those thoughts I explained to Devin that we should remain quiet and he just gives an incoherent nod. Sighing softly, we keep on searching having found three of the five guys. Occasionally we turn on the flashlight in hopes of if the other two surviving and being able to make their way to us.
After another hour of searching we found the last two bodies, all killed the same way. Devin couldn't take their deaths as well as I did and ended up throwing up everything in his stomach. The rancid smell of it wafted through the air and gave away our clear position to down wind. I ready my knife in case the creature attacked but in the blink of an eye all I heard was a loud "CRASH" with the cracking of bones as I spin back to see a giant, six foot tall, all black, alien like creature having crushed Devin. Without hesitation or care for my well being, I rush the creature and go to stab it but it's long tail knocks me away. By the time I stand up again it was gone. "It could've easily killed me so why didn't it? It wasn't the light that kept it from attacking me because it wasn't on... the only thing I had out was... That knife! That must be it!! It can't stand the smell of iron and iron is in blood which is why it doesn't slash people open to avoid the metallic smell of blood. Great, now I know it's weakness so now I should manipulate it." With that thought in mind I ran through the woods, giving my hand a minor cut to allow blood to leak in my wake.
After running for three hours the house was finally in view. I head inside and see Jewlian snuggled up with another guy as I can feel my mood plummet and I drop the gym bag. "I... found everyone but... they're all dead." Jewlian jumps when I speak as she looks at me, terror filled her eyes knowing I knew what she was doing she looks down again. Everyone sits in silence, in shock at what they had heard and I could feel the whole room's mood become dim. "I'll avenge them... even if I die.." At that, Jewlian shot up and ran to me to hug me but I stop her, giving her a dead look already. My emotions had gone cold and she starts shaking, "I-I'm sorry... I-I th-thought you wouldn't come back s-," at that I had cut her off, "Listen, Jewlian, whatever you had to say to me or were going to say to me doesn't matter anymore. Just let me leave." She starts to quietly cry as everyone in the room stares at me in shock at what I had said. I shoot looks at everyone and they quickly look away, not wanting my deathly anger to fall on them as I turn away and start leaving. Jewlian saw my hand and cries a little more and whimpers out, "I-I'm sorry..." I turn to her and just say one thing to her, "Aren't we all?" And with that I had left the house once more, hearing the whimpers and sobs of a heartbroken and regretful girl behind me.
Entering the woods again with no emotion at all, a knife, and nothing else to my name I start yelling to catch the alien looking thing's attention. I wanted nothing more than to kill or be killed, wondering as to why I hurt so much seeing Jewlian with someone else. I only had one thing on my mind. Death. The urge for something to die as I see the alien creature walk into view. I stare at it without emotion or fear, challenging it mentally as though it was a battle between minds. It gives me a creepy grin like face as it sees the knife in my hand but the loose grip on it, it spins to wack me with its tail as I shoot my hand up and allow the creatures tail to be caught by the blade, the smell of blood soon clung to the air. I had cut its tail off. As soon as it realized its tail was gone it let out a deafening scream and ran away into the woods but I wasn't done, I chased after it relentlessly now having the taste and drive for more blood.
