CRACK!!! We all ran to the kitchen when we heard the noise of broken glass, “Yun!!!” “Yunnie? Where are you?!?” Marishka knelt near the door and lifted the broken neck of a bottle, “I… I think that bastard got him,” she said and pointed to the ground where traces of blood were visible. Anre and Parker looked at me. I closed my eyes and concentrated, trying to link to him; anything would do, but it was blank… I couldn't feel anything; for all intents and purposes, his link was broken. “Who got him?” Dinna asked while holding onto Parker's sleeve. Marishka thought for a moment, “The same person who hurt my friends, the big man in a white mask, Mrs.” Anre and Parker pulled me into the hallway away from Dinna, “so?” Anre asked he was holding my wrist a little too roughly “Anre… it hurts!” he quickly let go of me when he realized, “Sorry… I just, please tell me he is okay.” I shook my head. “I can′t, I can't feel his link… but it doesn’t mean he is… he could just be out of range… or maybe I can't link with him while he is unconscious?” “or death…” Parker added somberly, Anre was upset at the remark made by him, “Don’t you dare even say it as a joke.”

  “We have to go look for him!” Anre said and marched to Morgan′s room to pick up his hammer, “Wait, and what do we say to Dinna? We can't leave her here with them.” I told him, but he continued to walk. “Well, you and Mr. Bad Jokester can stay here; I′ll go look for him!” I looked at each of them, sure they have little fights here and there, but this felt different, “Parker… I′ll go with Anre, you stay here and look after Dinna in case that psycho comes back.” he was about to say something, but instead he closed his mouth and nodded, “Sorry…” I heard in my head, I picked my umbrella and a flashlight from my bag and followed Anre “You don’t have to come Lass… if something happened to you, Yun would kill me” I pulled on his cheek “I′m also part of this team, and if I get close I could be able to link with him so I′m going” he ruffled my hear “that’s why I like you, Lass, lest go” we ran through the door and into the night.

  We ran for a while until we reached a clearing with old cabins. I illuminated an old wooden nameplate, “Camp Emerald Cree.k” I looked at Anr.e “So… how many horror movies have you watched?” Anre hosted his hammer to his shoulder and pointed, “Enough to know that he is probably bad news!” I Illuminated where he pointed and a man wearing a white mask holding the serrated knife in one hand, the man started to run in our direction “Look for Yun, I′ll keep Voorhees busy” I nodded and let Anre handle the killer, I concentrated again and looked for you, I felt a fain heart beating, I cant exactly pin point it yet, Anre clashed against the killer his machete and his hammer clicked as they were face to face, “Give me back my Yunnie!” Anre held his hammer with one hand and used the other to hit the killer. I wanted to cheer for him, but I remembered something important in any horror movie and ducked as a pair of big hands tried to hold me.

  “Anre, there's a second killer!” I yelled at him and held my umbrella as a rapier, “What? How did you know?” he got close to me and we stood back to back to face the enemies, “I saw it on an old move, killers work together to keep the teens confused, and when they fight one, the other came to pick up one of the girls” the killers circled us, waiting for our next move, “Lass listen to me, you don’t have much training and this two idiots wounded Morgan, keep on the defense” I nodded “I felt Yun, he is around here but I can't pinpoint where” “is he…” “Alive, if possible-!” I opened the Umbrella to block an incoming hit, and the machete bounced from the hit and sent the killer back. Anre hit the other killer and charged his hammer when it connected with the machete. It was exploited, even with the damage from the explosion, there was no sound from the killer, “they can't be humans, right?” “I can't link to them, but they are not moonlight beasts either, so what else can they be?” Anre and I switched places. I blocked for him, and he punched the other one, “M.S.S?” I shook my head, “I could still hear M.S.S cases.” We kept thinking and blocking until one of the figures fell to the ground.

  With a wheeze and a hand covered in black tar, Yun had taken care of one of the killers, “Hit the deck!” Anre jumped over me and we ended up on the ground, the other killer ran afet Yun, sparks formed in his hands and with a roar Yun realized a purpuled colored thunder, it hit the killer straight in the chest it continued behind him and traveled until it hit a tree, the Killer feel to the ground, Yun did too, we stood up and ran to his side; half of his face was covered in red like he had the night of his accident that cant be easy for him ”Yun, what happened?” he took air before he answered, “One of them hit me in the head with their weapon, next thing I knew I was locked in one of the cabines here, and after I heard the explotions I assumed you three would come to look for me” I scratched my cheek “about that…” he tilted his head “Parker is not here… he stay behind to look after Dinna and the others” “he even said you would be dead… some times I hate that about him" Anre said looking at one of the killers “Anre you know he-“ “didn’t mean it like that… I know it doesn’t make it less bad.”

  “… maybe it shouldn’t have been so harsh on him, I was just on edge, not only were you taken but…” We looked at him. “But?” I asked “Once we get to the borders, we will find out who is next, it′s not going to be pretty to find out where we are going and he and I have a fifty-fifty chance to go through hell” I understand how he feels, when we passed through Killalark, it was diffucutl for Yun, always on edge and worried, now to think that we will laren everything about their life cant be easy but is something that we will have to do to find the shrines and to do what I need, “look” Yun started “even if you two turn into a monster, me and Karolin will make sure you can find your way home” I nodded “Yun will keep you guys in check while I fix you form the inside, we are a team” Yun placed his hand on Anre′s shoulder “and a very wearid family, so come on I think I need to get this head injury checked and… look!” the boidies of the killers started to disintegrate just like a moonlight beast should “let's go we need to check on the others”

  I sat on the empty chair next to Kalico and buried my face in my hands, “Great Parker… you did it again, and this time I hurt Anre… why can't I just learn to keep my mouth closed?” I asked myself, talking is difficult, and that’s why I for the most part talk when talked to. I always end up saying the wrong thing when I open my mouth of my own free will, “Parker?” Dinna was in front of me head crooked looking at me with worried eyes “What′s wrong?” she sat on the table in front of me “… I said something horrible, and made Anre mad… he and Karolin went out looking for Yun, I′m such an idiot” “no, I don’t think so, hurting others some times happens even if you don’t want to” I uncovered my face and cleaned my glasses, “hey… where is Marishka?” she looked towards Kalico and said “oh… she said she was also going to look for Yun, I′m sure that with three of them looking they should be safe” I nodded and sighed, Dinna laughed “hey, remember what I said back in the forest?” I shook my head. Right now, I could only picture Anre′s angry face and Karolin being disappointed at me. “Silly Parker, I told you, you would like my house. Come, follow me,” she offered me her hand to help me stand up

  “But… what about them?” she laughed again. “Kalico seems to be sleeping… at least I hope he is, and that Morgan guy was detained by your friends, right?” I nodded, “So he is under control, come on! It would be like when we used to play pretend and forget our problems, no?” I started to follow her, it was like my feet were moving on their own, following a path traced beforehand, “did… did we do that?” Dinna nodded and held my hand dearly “Yep, you told me so, so, so, so many stories, we walked all around wonderland, explored the sea in our very own submarine, fought dragons with paper swords, and many more things!” she walked me to the basement door, pictures of that past floated around my mind and when she showed me her basement I felt like I was in wonderland, every single wall was a bookshelf filled with books so many books.

  “See? I told you, I knew we would see each other again… I remember the day you left, I was so sad, but I just knew, I just knew we would see each other one day, so this time…” she interlocked her fingers with mine and got her face very close to mine, stars showing in her eyes “won't you stay with me? I don’t want to be alone… I will never tell you hurtful things, I will never hunt you, it will be just us and your friends if you want!” I snapped back to reality but Dinna continued “No more fights, no more M.S.S cases, no more gifts you didn’t want… no more woman in your head” I tried to let go but I couldn’t “Dinna… how do you know all that?” she looked away, and after a moment smiled back, a tiny Vermillion perched on her shoulder, instead of trying to bite her it nestled in the craves of her neck “my friend told me about it, how people were mean to you, what happened at Killalark and that you were on your way here” she laughed and picked a damaged notebook and presented it to me “see? I told you,” I opened it and read the title of a story made by a kid… made by me twenty years ago “Red Blood Camp,” a story about a group of friends that venture into the forest and find themselves facing a supernatural killer. “I prepared and rehearsed it all, just like in the old times.”

  “Dinna… you… Why?” She was confused and crooked her head again, the vermillion imitating her movements, “Oh no, you didn’t like the acting? The little moonlight beasts did their best to perform well” I took a step back and found myself back against the wall, “Dinna… what are you? How can you control the moonlight beasts? Did you hurt the missing people?” she showed concern and waved her hands in front of her face “no, of course no, but… we did need to rehearse so in order to do that we needed actors that would play the part, so we found some… we just haven’t return them… the only people we hurt are the ones from the Maw as they are bad people that nobody will cry for” she walked to a desk and showed me some documents I froze in terror when I read the name of the files “Subject D1-NN4”
