Part 16 Oops!
Peter turned the light around showing several figures lurking behind trees. Klaus aimed and fired sending one of them spinning as the beast/human let out a howl of pain, 3 figures bounded out from the trees, one with long wild flowing hair. The man beasts if you could call them men, t-posts in hand, were howling in rage as they charged. Peter flashed the light in the eyes of the bigger man beast as Mark jumped one to grapple it. Klaus fired at the blinded man-beast and sent it spinning backwards, the female-beast bore down on Abi and hit her hard, I guess the female beast was very jealous of superior beauty. Charlyn screamed as the beast ripped at Abi mauling her friend. Charlyn then acted in bravery and proceeded to beat the female beast with her purse. All it did was enrage the female so she jumped Charlyn. Klaus could do nothing because the man beast was rolling around on the ground with Mark. Mark was losing and the female beast was among the women folk, while Klaus was bewildered, he was grabbed from behind and his arms pinioned. Klaus dropped his gun and then swung a elbow into the beast groin facilitating a quick release. Klaus did his first ever tactical roll and grabbed the gun in the process. He came up on his knees and blew the beast in half. Gotta love a shotgun. Then Klaus buttstroked Marks adversary as Charlyn and Abi started fighting the female for real. Charlyn was very, very angry. The female beast had destroyed 5 lbs of Swiss chocolate. The female beast was going to die for that. Personally I was betting on C. 10 to 1 odds anyways. Klaus shot the beast as mark rolled away and racked his gun. The female beast hooted frantically as Abi’s fingers closed around it’s throat. Darkened figures jumped from the bushes.
Michael stopped the party as they were gathering lights, guns, and food, everything they needed. “I hear a shot! Everyone stopped and counted. One, two. Then two more. Barely could they hear animal screams and howls. Then some female screams echoed.
Bekah sobbed and held onto the other girls. Carol had a horrified look on her face as she reached out for her daughter Scarlett. Michael spoke up. “Chris, how many rounds did you have in your gun? I counted 5 so far.”
“That’s all I had in there.”
Ben jumped up and straped on dual shoulder 45 holsters and grabbed a shotgun. “Frank, I need you to show me the way. They must have taken the other fork. Chris, Kim, Scarlett, Elisabeth, you know firearms, stay and hold this hotel for us. If we aren’t back in 2 hours we are dead. Continue without us.
Matt spoke up, since when did God die and you became boss Ben? I say Freddy and I come along and you stay back. And from now on, I call the shots. Not you Ben, your bright idea got Jay killed and the others are probably dead too!! You are going to get us all killed if you continue. The two of you can’t make it alone!” Matt’s voice dwindled as he realized that Ben had completely ignored him and was handing out firearms to each of the party.
Frank grabbed a spotlight but Ben motioned it down. “Don’t you have any NVGs? Ok grab them, lets go now”
Carol grabbed Ben’s arm. “Please let me come, my husband is out there. Maybe he’s dead. Please, let me come along.”
Ben wiped his eyes, “give her a pair of NVGs and a shotgun. We use silencers.”
Carol let go and grabbed what Frank held out. They headed out but Matt ran up and grabbed Ben by his left arm. “You aren’t taking my sis, and I’m sick of you ordering us around! Now,” Ben swung a fist into Matt’s chin snapping the flapping jaw shut.
Ben stepped out and took point.
Scarlett helped Matt up as Matt rubbed his injured jaw. No one said a thing but as Chris monkeyed with a backup generator. Finally the lights turned on as the generator kicked on. They had a perimeter of light for mayb e 100 yds. Michael, Freddy, Chris and matt each took a corner to watch. The girls got together in on a couch and just hugged each other and cried. Chad swapped out with Chris so Chris could figure out some way to reach the outside world for help. Police, FBI, Firemen, somebody to help with this situation.
Was there any hope?

Part 17 Love and Revenge.
Ben and Frank slipped throught woods silently as they slipped towards the last sound that they had heard. Ben, ball cap backwards NVGs on saw a beast ahead. He put the gun down and reached for his hidden dagger between his shoulder blades. He slipped up behind the beast then grabbed the beast and inserted his knife in between the top two vertebrae and into the brain. But even then the beast continued to struggle then a liver stab then front to where the beast’s heart should have been, finally it slipped down to die. Carol leaned over and threw up. Frank wondered, but continued on.

In the small clearing Klaus twitched and breathed his last. Mark crawled over to Carrie and held her head in his Hands. “Carrie, I wanted to say,” but she barely lifted her hand up
“I have something to say, I had a baby, triplets. I had a dear friend, Sophie, her husband and her couldn’t have kids, so they needed a foster womb, I volunteered mine. It wasn’t one, ti was three. I was so afraid that if I told you, you wouldn’t want me. I should have told you long ago.”
Mark kissed his wife, “I knew, they told me, I love you anyways, I’ve loved you along, And I,” Mark coughed and died.
One tear rolled down Carrie’s face as she too closed her eyes.
Ben, Frank and Carol walked in the clearing, Ben dropped to his knees and cried like a baby as Carol ran to Klau and cradled his head. Ben got up and hugged Carol as they both sobbed. Ben took his 45 from his left shoulder holster and walked into the woods. He cocked the 45 and put the barrel in his mouth. Tears ran down his face as he realized how wrong he was. He had killed everyone. Everyone would die because of him. Frank put a hand on his arm.
“Son, don’t do this, it’s not your fault. You’ve kept the others alive. They are safe for now. I can’t pull them through this by myself. You are the only one that I can trust. We’ve maybe killed 20 of them, my friends, what’s left of my family. There should be 207 population. Now if they have all turned into these monsters, I don’t need anyone killing himself cause he’s having a pity party. Now be a man and finish the job.”
Ben ashamed lowered the hammer and put the gun away. “Now go help your mum, she’s mighty in need of comfort. Ben walked over and hugged Carol as they cried together. Frank pulled the bodies together and then the clothed over their faces. All around Ape figures closed in, they hesitated. They smelled fear in two, and pure anger in one, rage. They hesitated and started out to kill the lst ones when one, the long haired one broke into a Beautifu noise. Water came out of her eyes as she sang as she had never sung b4. The beasts sat down and enjoyed the free solo as the angry one turned around.
“Ben talked to Frank, “look at them, you stay and protect Carol, I’m going mad.” He put down his Pump shotgun and pulled out his knife from his shoulder blades and another one from the small of his back. He disappeared into the woods. Carol continued to sing as beast after beast were yanked bawkwards into the woods and cold heartedly dispatched by a mad man. Carol finished her song and collapsed. The last man beast jumped up in surprise. The Beautiful voice had stopped! Then Pain entered in form all different sides. Darkness covered his sight.
