Chapter 10 - Them...

I don't care who's attacking; I don't care who 'they' are; all I care about is my damn car. Now the escape route is gone. 

"We need to get out of here quick or else we'll die!"

"Wait, how do you know that it wasn't humans?"

"Isn't it obvious; if it were human, why would the beef jerky be eaten but the chips aren't? And most important of all, the car's entire roof is gone!" 

"good point, let's get out of here before we all get eaten."

...

We were back at the cabin, and nightfall was about to set. But worst of all, MY CAR! I'll never stop talking about it for a month straight; I can already taste the salt in my mouth. 

Oh, right, Gramps talked about there being more humans out there; maybe they'll help.

"you said there were more humans out there, right? why aren't you with them?"

"Because they're evil. When I was with my daughter, they wanted her in return for food. They said, "Look, Grandpa, if you want food, give us your daughter first." So, then I left with my daughter to this place; it's thirty miles north of their settlement."

"Wait, then what happened to your daughter?"

"The monsters got h-her. OH GOD! It's completely my fault. If I had just given her away, maybe she would've been alive right now."

"Hey, gramps, calm down, would you? She might still be alive; don't lose so much hope."

"wow, it's ironic seeing a demon saying that word."

"You're right, my girl can still be alive, but we'll find her in the morning; we need to hide now. It'll be nightfall soon, and then those monsters will start to come out. Make sure to keep the shotgun close to you too; that's the only way to kill the monsters."

"Magic doesn't work?"

"I don't know if it works or not because magic is restricted in this place. When we first got here, everyone tried using magic, but every time we tried, the magic would just cancel out. Our only way to kill them is with shotguns or anything that can destroy their heads in one go; if not, you're good as dead."

Now I hate this place even more. First, my car gets transported into this snowy wonderland, and then my car gets magically stuck and destroyed, and now there are man-eating monsters. I'm so happy we have a shotgun. On that note...

"how many shells do you have in that shotgun?"

"There's only three shells left for three of those monsters or each of us if it gets that bad."

"Let's not get into that now. But we need to sleep first because it's starting to turn dark."

"Someone should keep watch for us in case one of them knows how to open doors."

"i'll do it. my car is trashed, and now i'm too pissed to go to bed."

...

This place is just a total hell encased in snow; there's no cell service here. No food, no magic, no nothing. "Never summon a demon; they bring bad omens." I'll tell that to my kids when I get some. Tomorrow I'll find a way to get out of here. 

*Knock knock*

Who the hell is it at this time of the night?

"DAD PLEASE LET ME IN PLEASE. PLEASE THEY'RE COMING AFTER ME!!!"

"hey, wake up you two, someone's at the door."

"DAD DAD DAD, I'VE BEEN ALIVE. LET ME IN, PLEASE. I'M IN DANGER!"

"M-my daughter, i-is that you!? Quick, hurry, open the door now!"

"got it."

I walked towards the cabin's door, reaching my hand out for the handle. Just when I was about to open the door, I paused. What if the voice is fake? What if it's all a trick?

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"what if it's all a trick, huh? it might be outside the door right now getting ready to kill us."

"No, they won't! They can't imitate voices. So open the door, trust me, I've seen it with my eyes before. So, just trust me and open the door. I can't let my daughter die; I don't want to see her get eaten."

"ok, but i'm grabbing the shotgun just in case."

I grabbed the shotgun with my hands and slowly opened the door while holding the shotgun. I opened the door and got ready to shoot the shotgun, but when I looked out the door, all I could see was nothing but the night sky, the dead trees, and the snow.

"there's nothing here?"

Looking left to right outside, I see nothing; all there is is snow. If it was no one, then who spoke those words?

Quickly going back inside and slamming the door shut.

"there's nobody here."

"What? How I swear I heard a voice," said gramps.

"There was someone outside, alright, look at the fireplace."

I looked at the fireplace, and I saw it coming out. There was a stench—a stench of a rotting body. There it was, with its seven-foot stature, skinny body that looked like it hadn't eaten for years, sharp human-like nails, sharp teeth, pointing ears, and bald head.

"Humans are so stupid; I can't wait for my meal."

He was also holding something. It looked like a voice recorder. Did it kill someone, take their voice recorder, and record the voice of the grandpa's daughter to trick us? So they eat humans and are also smart enough to use technology too!
