[IC] Horror at Bunker Lake

[Zmerr]

Ana instinctively reached for her pocket knife, hoping to at least scare the creature. Maybe she'd be able to get past it and run for her life. She suddenly remembered everything. How she'd been dragged away from camp. How she'd stabbed the creature and then lost her knife. How she'd hit a branch. And then nothing. She must have hit the branch pretty hard because it had knocked her out.

She looked around the cave, trying to find something she could use for a weapon. She couldn't find anything. "Oh God!" she said half out of fear and half hoping God was real.

As they wondered in the woods taking notice of every noise they heard a scream of a girl. Ben pointed west to where the noise came from and started to run towards the spot he was scarred but wanted to save Ana from her horrible fate but would they make it on time.

Caroline hesitantly followed in step behind Ben, keeping the torch held high. She wasn't sure if she should be doing this but it was too late to go back now. She did her best to keep up with his fast pace but eventually found herself growing tired. They were getting nowhere fast and all this running and wheezing for air had her all flustered. "Wait," she gasped for air, bending over slightly. "Do we even know where we're going? How will we even know where she is? This place is huge."

[Gurren1]

" Just follow the noise and we will find he-" Just then a being pushed down Ben and started attacking. It looked like a human camper but was a pale blue with slits all over his arms and bugs crawled in and out of its body while its eyes glowed green. Ben tried to fight back but the being used brute force and pummeled Ben with its fists yelling noises at him." Ahhhhhhhh! Help!!!!" Ben yelled trying to block the fist but some still hit.

Shrieking in horror, Caroline gave little thought to it and grabbed the hand gun from her jacket pocket and shot at the creature's limbs. To her horror, when she shot at it's arms and legs, they would simply disperse into hundreds of little bugs and fall to the ground, scurrying away. The being itself was made of bugs. Deciding not to waste ammo, Caroline pulled out her blade instead and stabbed the creature until it's entire body had dispersed into bugs that had quickly fled from the scene.

Exhausted, Caroline gave Ben a hand getting up and looked him over making sure he wasn't hurt. "Are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere? What did that thing do to you? Did you see what happened to it?" she blurted out all these questions frantically.

[Zmerr]

Ana screamed louder than she could ever remember screaming as the creature moved towards her. It seemed to scream back. She stopped and analyzed for a moment. It had stopped.

"HEY!!!" She shouted. The creature bowed its head and yelped. It seemed as though it didn't like loud noises. "HEY YOU!!! GET OUTTA MY WAY!!!" She continued shouting at the creature and it began to shrink back.before she knew it, there was enough room for her to slip past. She kept making loud noises as she did so. Soon enough, she'd found a way out of the cave and began running for her life, occasionally screaming to scare it off and maybe even catch the attention of the others.

[Gurren1]

" I am okay." Ben said rubbing some blood away from his mouth. Just then they heard a scream." Lets go!" Ben said pointing to the direction of the scream.

[czechmate46]

Gasping for air again, Caroline took off running behind Ben to the source of the scream. She had her doubts that it was Ana but perhaps another who was being terrorized by the same creature. Caroline didn't know what to think at this point. She just wanted to find Ana then get the hell away from Bunker Lake.

[Gurren1]

They neared a cave and saw Ana screaming out of it. Their faces quickly turned to happiness to horror as the beast came right out with four of his bug minions trailing behind it. "Do you still have that Molotov and pistol!!" Ben yelled "Because we are going to need them!"

[czechmate46]

Following closely behind Ben, Caroline pulled out her gun with her left hand and held a firm grip on the torch with the other. "Got it!" she yelled back to him as they ran towards Ana and the beast.

Doing her best to aim, Caroline fired a few shots at the hideous monsters but it seemed to only anger them and make them stronger! How would they defeat these creatures if even bullets would not kill them. She was still too far away to use the torch, but she would use it when they neared closer to the beasts.

[Gurren1]

Ben felt powerless with only a pocket knife while these creatures could easily kill them. Ben looked around for any weapon and found a large stick near a tree. Ben quickly without thought grabbed and swatted a minion away from Caroline. Still the beast came raging closer.

[czechmate46]

"Here," Caroline called out to Ben, tossing him her hand gun. "I have the torch and you need a weapon!"

As the creatures neared closer to them, Caroline swatted at the beasts with the torch. To her amazement - it worked! The fire and heat from the torch scorched the beasts' flesh and made it scream in pain.

[Gurren1]

Ben picked up the gun and started shooting into the creatures side hitting it in the wings. It let out a screech and stumbled however its minions rushed Ben punching him down to the ground. Ben was able to shot one of there heads off but the other two were still attacking him.

[czechmate46]

Attempting to come to Ben's aid, Caroline swatted at the beasts that were inches away from killing him, using the torch to melt away their flesh and scream in pain. She eventually got one to back away from Ben, but she still had to deal with the second one.

"Shoot at his head while I use the torch!" she instructed him, as this second beast seemed to be the most powerful one of them all. It barely shuttered when she swiped it with the torch and it's size made it hard for Caroline to hit it anywhere sensitive.

[Gurren1]

Ben used the last of the bullets wisely and fired at the beast. When he did chunks of bugs came flying all over and his head was popped off however it still came forward and even with fire in its way it punched Caroline to the ground and then looked over at Ben with revenge for his head. The main creature was still trying to recover from the gun wounds and its minions were doing the job.

[czechmate46]

Being thrown to the ground, Caroline decided it was best to play dead from here on out. The torch became smothered and was put out by the leaves and debris on the forest ground. It was of no use to her now. Ben would have to fend for himself, with whatever bullets he had left.

[Gurren1]

Ben saw that Caroline didn't get up."Good God she's Gone!!" Ben said gravely while the shooting at the Big minion finally killing it but now he had two bullets left and still the Horror of the Lake to deal with. "Someone Help!"

[Zmerr]

"Someone help!" the voice was unmistakeably Ben's. Ana stopped running

"Hello? Ben!?" she called out, hoping he would hear her.

[Gurren1]

He recognized the voice of Ana and called out."Distract the beast while I kill it!!!" He said to Ana while the creature came charged at him.

[Zmerr]

"Try screaming!" Ana yelled as she trampled through the forest foliage to get to Ben. once there, she started screeching. The creature ducked its head and began clawing at what Ana assumed to be its ears.
