Anna placed Jenny down on the grass near a lake, Jenny glaring at her as she thought of a way to escape. She just wants to go home and see her wife, she pondered as Anna gently took a hold of the injured hand. The blood had dried up in the crevices of the skin, swelling being evident around the edges as still fresh blood seeped out. Anna tore a piece of cloth from her skirt as she applied gentle pressure to the wound, the cloth immediately turning red upon contact. "Stay and hold", Anna's thick russian voice says as she places Jenny's other hand on the cloth before getting up. Jenny just stared at her as she ran in haste, possibly looking for a proper bandage out there. The now lonely girl sighed deeply, wincing at the pain of her wound now and then.

She contemplated about running but she would definitely pass out from the amount of blood oozing out of her hand. She looked around to see if one of her kids was nearby to aid her. Nothing but the trees and glimmering lake under the moonlight.

"I don't understand how we went from a roadtrip, renting a mansion, and THEN getting sucked into this shit..."

It only took a few minutes for Anna to arrive with a small first aid kit. She opened it up as she took out a needle, Jenny instantly jumping back in fear, breath quickening at the sight of the tool. Anna took notice, placing it back into the kit as she grabbed some shady ointment. "Wait, we're supposed to clean th-OW!" Jenny exclaimed as Anna just poured a large amount on the wound, Jenny screaming in agonizing pain. Then she immediately wrapped it in a linen gauze tightly as Jenny bit her tongue. Jenny was about to rip the guaze off and clean the wound properly before it glitched and faded out of existence. She then turned her hand around as not a single sign of blood or damage was visible, Anna clasping her hands together in content at the result.

The background then faded into Anna's cabin, transparent kids played around the room as they all waved at Jenny. Jenny's jaw dropped, her immediately rubbing her eyes. As soon as she stopped, the background was the forest again, Anna tilting her head in confusion. "𝘚𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺", Jenny thought. Before she could let out a word, Anna hoisted her over her shoulder again. Jenny just stayed put, she knows Anna isn't going to voluntarily kill her, for now at least. Her mind wanders to her back, almost feeling the hatchet go through her again as the image of it sends shivers down her spine.

The two encounter a very, worn out cabin. It wasn't as good as their old one, but having a place to sleep in was nicer than sleeping outside. As soon as Anna's hand touched the door, it glitched, Anna stepping back as it morphed into a rather nice and cozy cabin. Anna then entered the cabin, the place being filled with onstentatious furniture. As she made her way though the cabin, Anna enters the bedroom and places Jenny down on the bed. She tucked her in as she joined her, Jenny blankly staring at her as Anna's hand carressed her cheek lovingly. Jenny just sighed, accepting her fate once more as the only thing on Anna's mind was killing the other two in the vicinity, but that can wait.

The tanned male placed more fire wood into the campfire he made as Kennedy rubbed her hands together to create warmth. "I never got your name." the raven haired man asked Kennedy as she closed her eyes to fully grasp the heat from the fire. "My name is Kennedy, may I ask yours?", "The name is Jake Park", Jake said rather quickly. "It's nice to meet you Jake, and thank you for taking that hit for me. I really appreciate it", Kennedy said as she looked at where the wound should be, but it glitched out of existence when Anna and Jenny left, Jake just sitting down on the log next to her. He just nodded, " I can tell this is your first time in one of these trials, it won't get any easier though".

"Trials?"

"Yeah, The Entity picks four survivors, like you and me, against a killer. It then takes us to a location and we set up five generators so we can open an exit gate as the killer tries to sacrifice us and put us on hooks. Even if we did escape we would wake up here, and if we died we'll still stay here. An endless cycle of misery."
