When I mistakenly hit the man with the vehicle the engine had shut off, I turned the key again and luckily the engine still worked, so I floored the vehicle going as fast as I could to get away from these men. The one I had hit was still on the hood of my car, his legs were still on the ground being dragged while his arms were hanging on to the hood with the gun still in his hand. Once we got on the main road, he started pulling himself up more onto the hood.
As he was getting his balance up, I was driving straight to the gas station, he managed to get his body up and was balancing on the hood, I had to do something to stop him, so I started to weave the car trying to knock him off. However, he was keeping his balance well. He was making his way up to the window, there was a hole in the top of the vehicle, I knew he was trying to get into that. I had to think of a way to stop him. I was getting close to the gas station.
This is an armored vehicle which should withstand the blast of an explosion, that would get him off the top of the vehicle. He was slowly making his way to the hole.
Boom!
The vehicle collided with the gas pump blowing the pump up, the canopy that was above the pump collapsed as this happened blowing up the second pump on the station. The canopy collapsed on top of the vehicle making it stuck. I couldn't drive any further. I tried opening my door, but the rubble was too heavy, I tried the other doors, but they all had the same effect. Then I looked at the opening in the roof.
It was covered with rubble as well, but I thought maybe I could move it, I pushed with all my strength and it had slightly moved, that meant it was possible. I had to hurry though because as I was trying to get out, the other five men were making their way to me. I again pushed with all my strength, and I managed to push it to the side a little.
I pushed it far enough that I could see the sky, I stuck both my hands into the small crevice, and I pushed as hard as I could, and finally the opening in the top was clear, I climbed out and looked around, and sure enough the other five men were now nearly at the gas station.
I looked the other way to where I was heading, and I had caught a glimpse of the inside of the gas station; it was the same gas station from my memory. The one with my parents, some of the trees must have caused my memory to come back, I still had so many questions though, like who I was, and why I am here. I couldn't think about it for long though since I had to run, I can't let these men catch me.
I began sprinting the other way, I couldn't hear the men chasing me anymore, I looked back, and they were digging through the rubble, but I was sure that the man who was on top was not alive, perhaps they just wanted to recover the vehicle. Besides, I don't think there is another gas station for a while so perhaps they won't catch back up with me again, but just in case it might be the best if I don't continue walking in the middle of the road.
I walked off to the side towards the field so that if they chased me down again I could easily slip into the field, as I continued, I saw another car in the road, once again no windows, the only glass I saw was the glass on the Humvee and the glass that man cut me with. I was so worried about the man killing me I forgot to check my wound, I need to get that covered, I felt the area where I had been cut but there were no wounds there, only a tiny bit of blood.
The rest of the blood must have dried up, but how was this possible? It should take weeks to heal a wound like that. As I reached the car, I realized there was blood on it, and a sweet aromatic smell radiating from it. The blood was writing; it was an arrow pointing in the direction I was going.
The writing read, "2.8 miles to Fort Francis."
2.8 miles huh? Well that's good, I shouldn't starve to death by then, however as I looked up there wasn't much daylight left, I looked around and still all that was around me was field, there was no way I was going to make it 2.8 miles before night fall, and there was no way I was going to be able to make a camp to stay safe from predators, I had to make a choice, try to go to sleep or walk in the dark and try to make it to the fort.
The choice was clear to me, I was going to try and make it there, I continued walking as the sun started setting, suddenly I felt a weird sensation, the hair on my body stood up, my head started hurting, I felt a little light headed, did that cut not actually heal and get infected? Or have I been knocked out for some time, I could just be starving, regardless of whatever was happening the fort should be able to help me.
I continued walking but my mind was slowly filling with the thought of food, I just wanted to eat, the sky had turned red from the sunset, it was the perfect view, no one around to disturb the peace and quiet, a pretty sunset, if only I could find something to eat. Then the silence was broken, I heard the snapping of a twig to my left in the field, I looked over where it came from waiting to see what was in the field.
Suddenly one of those creatures jumped out of the field, this one had white eyes, and it only had one spike on each side of its head, I thought maybe the color of the eyes had to separate them somehow. Then in the distance I could hear a screeching noise. Suddenly dozens of those creatures rose from the fields, they slowly started surrounding me. There was no escape.
