<br />
When it cuts through our 'singular' dimension it mirrors what's on our side...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clone.gif" width="38" height="18" alt=":clone:" title="Clone" /><br />
<br />
Another interesting point to note in this photo is that the white round thing in the center acts like a center of projection of the 'blade', plus the lining on the glass panels, cool. <br />
<br />
*I also left that tiny gap between the two towers to show the emphasis on the 'cutting' effect, the precision, etc.</sup><br />

<br />
The two towers are exactly the same, just that they are placed in a mirrored manner. As you can see the edges are really sharp, and it has always been a very attractive place for me to shoot, but there are usually tight security.<br />
<br />
Love the extreme distortion produced by the fisheye lens. I was really close to the sharp edge.<br />

Though Muslims are permitted to offer their<br />prayers anywhere on earth provided the place is clean, yet the centre proposed for collective consciousness of Muslims was the Mosque. The last Prophet of God -peace be upon him- emphasised simplicity and cleanliness in the Mosque; thus, there are whole chapters in ahadeeth books outlining rules and manners of maintaining and using the Mosque. <br /><br /><br />Muslims would usually be delighted to show others their place of worship. It is the sharing of what they hold very dear to their heart. It is hoped, however, that the visitors observe certain basic rules of conduct.<br />The term Mosque is commonly used by non-Muslims to define the Muslim place of worship but its correct name is Masjid and this is the term used by Muslims. It would be preferable for non-Muslims to adapt to this correct terminology.<br />Before going to visit a Masjid, it is important that visitors give some thought to how they feel. The Muslims being visited would not want visitors to feel unease. Likewise, they would not want to be made ill at ease themselves by criticisms of their way of worship or of their religion. Questions are always welcomed but negative comparisons with the visitors own customs are unlikely to promote a friendly relationship. Whether visiting alone, or as a group, it is important to follow the guidelines for clothing and behaviour so as not to cause offence.<br />For groups, it is important not to talk loudly, thus disturbing anyone who may be at prayer. If any group members have special needs, let the place being visited know in advance so that they can prepare to help. For example, although the custom of the Mosque is to sit on the floor, chairs can often be provided for elderly, infirm or disabled visitors.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red"/><b> Clothing in a Mosque</b><br />Clothing should be modest for both men and women. For women this means an ankle length skirt or trousers, which should not be tight or transparent, together with a long sleeved and highnecked top. Out of respect, women may also wear a headscarf. Shoes are removed before going into the prayer hall and put on the racks provided. Clean and presentable socks, stockings, or tights are therefore a good idea.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red"/><b> Entering a Mosque</b><br />Where women attend the Mosque, men and women usually enter the prayer hall by separate entrances. Vistors may be greeted by the Arabic greeting Assalaamu Alaikum which means peace be to you. The answer, if the visitor would like to use it, is Wa alaikum-as-salam, which means peace be to you too.<br />Do not offer, or expect, to shake hands with people of the opposite sex. Before entering the prayer hall or prayer room, Muslim men and women perform wudhu or ablutions if they have not already done so earlier or from home. This is not necessary for the non-Muslim visitor who will not be joining in the prayer.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red"/><b> Entering a Mosque Prayer Hall</b><br />Go quietly into the hall, and sit on the floor (carpet), avoiding pointing the feet in the direction of the Qibla (the wall with the niche or alcove in it, indicating the direction of Makkah), unless a medical condition makes this the only possible posture. If visiting as a group during a time when prayers are taking place, sit together toward the rear of the hall.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red"/><b> Worship in a Mosque</b><br />When salat (prayer) is in progress, non-Muslim visitors are welcomed but simply to observe rather than to join in. If arriving at such a time, find a place near the rear wall and sit quietly observing the prayer. No sacred or blessed food will be offered, nor will visitors be expected to make any physical gesture of respect to holy objects (except removing their shoes and acting respectfully in the prayer hall).<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red"/><b> Women visiting a Mosque</b><br />The main place of prayer is often used only by the men and a separate area is usually provided for women. Where men and women pray in the same hall, they remain in separate groups. Muslim women are expected not to come to the Mosque during their menstrual period. This does not apply to Non-Muslim women. Muslim women pray at home, as they are not obligated to attend the Mosque for prayer in congregation and therefore do not frequently attend the Mosque.<br /><br /><sup>from <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.educationislam.org/educationislam_download/ETIQUETTES.pdf">[link]</a> </sup><br /><br /><br /><b>IN THE PHOTO:</b><br />If you thought this is the tower of Babel, then you are wrong. The Great Mosque of Samarra was at one time the largest mosque in the world; its minaret, the Malwiya Tower, is a vast spiralling cone 52 meters high and 33 meters wide with a spiral ramp that recalls the ziggurats of Ancient Mesopotamia.<br />The mosque was commissioned in 848 and completed in 851 by the Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil who reigned (in Samarra) from 847 until 861.<br />The mosque was destroyed in 1278 CE after Hulagu Khan (the Mongol ruler and the grandson of Genghis Khan) invaded Iraq.

But not like chirps of the birds of the daystar. No they were evil almost ready to do malice unto me. I pulled my jacket in closer to me. It was cold but not quite bitter enough for me to be shaking. No the lonely road seemed to do that to me all on its own. I have always had a sense of darkness in me, I know what roads to travel, what roads not to travel upon. Many times I would go out of my way not to drive upon a road. Why? Because there were spirits lingering and I could feel their hideous deaths upon the road, it was almost a stench to a road. I wished I had headed my own gut wrenching pains before I had taken this back road to my boy friends house. He was not far, but still, he told me not to come this way, and yet never told me why. I was forced upon this road due to a accident up the way, they detoured me. About seven miles down, my car just gave out. CAPLUK went the engine and there I was staring into the darkness of the night. Sure I had headlights, but how long would that last. I was not about to stay the night in the car. I finally got out, with my little Key chain flashlight and began to walk the next three miles to his house. He knew I was coming but he knew I would not come this way. I would have to make those three miles on my own.<br /><br />HOOOT<br /><br />I jumped; darn owl about made me wet my pants. I needed to hurry, I quickened my pace, but all it seemed to do is intensify my fear. I walked faster and faster things seem to close in on me where I felt the trees were reaching in towards me. Suddenly I saw a small shack. There was a light in the window, sat back a little ways off the road, nothing fancy at all. I knew to watch myself out on these southern back roads. Never know what you might run into. But yet there were still miles to go for the warmth of my loves arms. I knew I was in no good position to walk on past. There was an old ford beside the shack; it would take anyone two minutes to drive me on down the road. I walked towards the shack.<br /><br />I knocked..I heard the loudest strangest noise I had ever heard in my entire life. I backed off ready to run up the road as fast as I could.<br /><br />Standing in the doorway was one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life, and he was holding a chainsaw. I could not speak or breathe for a moment. I honestly felt my entire body seize up and freeze. I panicked as I saw red liquid drip off the coveralls he wore. That was enough for me, I did not need any scary music to clue me in, and I knew I was in for some deep crap if I stood there one more moment. I turned and ran as hard and as fast as I could. I didnt run up the road to far before, I dashed across it and into the field then up into the woods. I went into the fray of trees and stopped backed up to a large tree shaking. I turned to see what was going on behind me. Sure enough there were three figures getting into the truck yelling and calling out in some manner of glee and joy. I saw them backing up. I instantly hiked myself up the tree. HELL WITH RUNNING! I wanted them to think I ran as far as I could, but then I would back track up the real road towards my boy friends home. They took the truck down a dirt road near to where I went into the forest. I watched as their lights disappeared into the darkness of the woods. I climbed down quickly and stayed near the edge of the tree line but headed back up north away from them towards the right direction. I needed to get to James. I checked my cell phone quickly; no signal, then it beeped as I took another step. "YES!" I had a signal weak one but it was something. I hit memory one, James on speed dial still was not fast enough.<br /><br /><br />Ello, ames I .stuck.car.dead.they.kill me.accidentbackdetour.hel..I help.I.scared. James put the phone down his mind racing, a mile a minute. He tried to put the fragments together. His Jamie was in trouble. For that he was sure, back detour though, he was afraid she went the back roads to his house, his sister got lost going that way and never came home it had been three years now, she was missing. He grabbed his older brother,<br /><br />Derrick, Jamie must of been coming to the house the back way, her car broke down she said something about dead and they kill meaccident and detour I think we need to go find her! NOW! Derrick knew with out a second thought this was serious, although they had tried and tried to find their sister, police helicopters and so much more their sister was never found, that group of hill folk that lived out that way, had their home ransacked maybe three times by the police. Nothing was ever found; saving the fact they killed tons of cows and slaughtered them in their kitchen. James knew something was wrong with them the moment he saw them. His sisters car broke down side of the road just like his Jamies, it was like the night they lost her all over again.<br /><br />Damn it James DID you not tell her never ever to go that way? Derrick yelled as they put the guns in the truck.<br />Course I did, many times, but I never told her why, just to painful. I should have told her the entire story. James cussed himself as he got behind the wheel of his Chevy pick up truck.<br /><br />Yeah dumb shit, we dont need to loose another person to that psycho hillbilly family! I swear to you they eat human flesh. Derrick argued with him.<br />IF You think you are helping YOU are NOT helping shut the hell up! James started the truck and they were off, down the black dark back road a way they dared not go since the night Jenny was lost to them.<br /><br />JAMES? SHIT! the cell died, she stuffed it back in her pocket and broke into a steady run towards the roadway and the end of the field. Her body was shaking with the cold and the fear. She got to a tree when she saw the truck coming back up the side road way. Instantly she dove into a bush. Cutting her face, she pulled her shirt up over her head, to hide her breath, as they drove around near where she was. Slowly they came up with a huge beam of light on the brush, and trees. Jamie laid there frozen as the ground she lay upon she closed her eyes halfway as she kept the shirt to her mouth. They flashed her figure, but she was dressed in all black and her long black hair kept her hidden as well. She looked just like a shadow in the night. They drove on past her. She sighed with relief. Then she thought about it, they were going the direction she had to go. They were going to have to pass her again. She grimaced at the piss poor way things were going. She looked up.<br /><br />little help here? She asked the stars. Hoping god would listen if never any other time than at least right then. She watched as the truck went out of site. She stood up and started to follow the tree line with her feet getting torn up on the branches and brush, she watched constantly for the creepy people tracking her.<br /><br /><br />There are head lights ahead. Think its her? Derrick asked. But James knew better,<br />No its not her thats a truck, she drives that small car remember?<br />There was barely enough room to pass someone on that road, but they did, as they passed everyone turned and stared at one another. Derrick and James were sick to their stomachs when they saw who it was.<br /><br />Oh gowd its them  Derrick muttered out as they finished passing them. They are out looking for her I bet. He continued speaking James's worse fears.<br /><br />Good they havent found her yet. James sped up down the roadway. IF she had been anywhere before that she would have jumped out and flagged us down, we got to find her first. His voice was panicked with dread and fear for Jamies life.<br />Jamie ran further down the roadway walking fast, she figured she could hear or see the truck if it was coming back, they would be a warning of some kind, she was so scared her heart was beating a mile a minute. THEN slowly she heard a vehicle. She squinted yes there were two head lights coming up in frount of her. Jamie quickly dove into the bushes. Slowly she saw the truck go by she kept her head low, but looked up at the last minute. That truck that rattle same one she KNEW! IT was James and Derrick by the looks of the passenger. She jumped up and started to yell, but they had not heard her. Suddenly she took off in a run for the tail gate as she saw headlights again behind her. She screamed and pushed herself into a dead run faster than she has ever tried to run before, it was not long before she was catching up with the slow going truck.<br /><br /><br />"Here they come behind us again, do you think they found her and we passed her. Maybe we should speed up so they dont hit us." Derrick asked. He turned and looked behind, making out a figure waving arms at them between them and the next vehicle.<br /><br />"STOP ITS JAMIE BEHIND US!" Suddely Jamie noticed the break lights she ran harder and faster to the truck but the other truck was coming faster and faster, she leapt into the truck before James or Derrick could get out, as the truck behind them plowed into them. Jamie flew over the cab and missed the truck completely as she landed in the sandy dirt in front of both trucks. James had slamed his head on the stearing wheel but he was shaking it off.<br /><br />"Derrick you alright?" He looked up to see Derrick getting the gun off the floor.<br /><br />"TEND TO JAMIE, she flew over the truck, see if she is alright. Ill deal with these pieces of shit." Derrick was tall and handsome to most girls, Junior at collage, many a girl wanted to date him, but he was only in love with one woman, that was his mother. He was not ready to tie himself down to one girl like his little brother had. But he really liked Jamie and he missed his sister, this was his chance to ask some questions.<br /><br />"ALRIGHT NOW GET OUT OF THAT TRUCK AND TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Derrick yelled out loud and so James could hear. He dove to the ground where Jamie lay, her lip bloody and bruised.<br /><br />"My god sweetie are you alright?" He pulled her up into his lap. She dazzily looked up at him shaking her head from side to side.<br /><br />"No, they are going to kill..me..." She said as they both heard yells and gunshots. Then he heard a labored voice yell.<br /><br />"RUN JAMES RUN!" Derrick was yelling out very labored as if either in a run, or he was hit. James didn't have to be told twice he picked up Jamie and ran with her into the woods. Half dragging her, he suddenly sat down. Holding her close with her mouth covered. Footsteps all around them. Jamie felt very dazzed still she closed her eyes, and nothing else did she remember.<br /><br />Jamie woke there was no light save some slat lines above her, she looked up, something was moving around and talking. She suddenly felt like a hammer had hit her head roughly. HOW could a hammer hit your head softly she told herself and tried to stand up. But she couldnt the space was to small she could make out voices but they were to far away. Suddenly she heard a gun shot. She jumped backwards further into the darkness but bumped into something. Felt like a hand, Jamie jumped forward again as she saw a figure in the little amount light she could use. Suddenly the face was ghostly as she moved forward.<br /><br />Shh.. if your quiet you might last longer, than the others. Her voice was small hushed and shaky. She was a wreck and looked as if she had been under the floor for months. Jamie screamed as a rat ran across her legs, the girl snatched it and cracked it in half and scurried back further into the darkness when the floor above her opened up and they snatched her into the light.<br /><br />She should have been quiet the girl spoke to the dead rat, as she bit into the fur and began to tear it away and save it for her pillow she was creating.<br /><br /><br /><br />James lay in the leaves as he came to his senses something had knocked him clean out, he had no remembrance of anything for the moment. He looked to the right and heard a stumble. He didnt move, waiting to see what was coming towards him.<br />James He heard the somewhat soft voice. It was Derrick, James popped his head up but should have known better after the nasty blow to his head sent him rushed with pain threw his temples.<br /><br />Shit, my head He moaned as Derrick came close enough.<br />You alright, little bro? He asked him as he looked at the bloody wound with his flashlight.<br /><br />Sheya Ill live. But those creeps are gonna pay for this! He suddenly realized something was missing.<br />JAMIE! he looked about as Derrick held him back.<br />They took her, I couldnt chase them alone and I knew I had to find you make sure you werent dead. He looked down at him, James face was accusing and upset.<br /><br />HELL WITH ME! Why didnt you rescue her?! James was more than a bit upset.<br />Cause JAMES Your to important to this family to loose another one to that darned family. James was mad and disappointed in his brother.<br /><br />WELL I may not be a super hero, I may not be a mutant with powers but damn it I am going to go rescue the woman I love and next time YOU PUT HER FIRST! James stood up and stomped back to the truck. Derrick followed him back knowing full well how upset James was. He just couldnt shake off the fear that they shot his brother and it was just so important to him to make sure his brother was not lying there in the woods bleeding to death. Was that so wrong? He didnt think so, but now it seemed it was the wrong choice.<br /><br />Jamie screamed as each of the four large grotesque looking men stared at her and handed her to the next for a once over. They were literally licking their lips at the thought of eating her Jamie was sure of it. Finally the last one took a look at her in such a way she almost wet herself. He totally and utterly scared her to death. She was then thrust upon a chopping block. She screamed time and again, she was sure she was not going to die, but where was James, what had happened to him. Did these creatures kill him she started to cry.<br /><br />There there now missy, we cant kill you if your upset and crying spoils your meat. One of the fellers said as he tried to take up her tears with a hanky. Dirty nasty used one, Jamie moved her face away from the offer.<br /><br />Jamie looked about the room noticing many bloody heads on the wall, as if they were hunted sport trophies. Jamie screamed again, this was not looking good not at all.<br /><br />She saw one of those things that resembled a man near her with a meat cleaver. Jamie shut her eyes knowing the end was just there ahead of her.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz"/>lease god save James this pain, let him be alive She felt the red hot heat flow threw her she knew her death was near..<br />Jamie prayed and felt like her heart would burst when she heard a loud noise, as everyone turned it was headlights to a vehicle coming their way. Straight at the building. Jamie screamed as the truck threw the wall in all directions at the occupents inside. Jamies table toppled sideways as she listened she could hear yelling and boards being thrown and then suddenly a gun went off. Then silence she stared at the old fish wall paper in front of her and prayed it was James, and Derrick there to rescue her. She felt the blood rushing to her head and the dizzing smell of blood and sweat.<br /><br />"Damn it Derrick you could have killed her!" James yelled and got out, he could not see her anywhere. The both began to look around when something grabbed Derricks leg he shot it, he had never seen splattered brains in real life, he turned and threw up. James kept walking threw the rubble of the house.<br /><br />"JAMIE!" He hollered out.<br /><br />"HERE! IM HERE ON THE TABLE!" She yelled out her voice was a bit shaky and horse. James leapt over to her table and pulled it back so he could see her, she was tied to it.<br /><br />"THOSE Bastards are going to pay for this!" He yelled out as he started to untie her, but before she could think or act James was being torn off her, the lights flickerd out and they were suddenly in darkness save the headlights of the truck. Jamie screamed as she heard growling and snarling. Something nasty was in the room with them. Jamie froze, more scared to move than anything. Then she felt fingers on her wrists.<br />"Lets get you to the truck now." It was Derrick and she was glad to see him, "Hurry get in the truck and we will be right there, I am going to get James! GO fast now!" He leaped over the table and into the kitchen where the noise was going on. Jamie jumped over the table and felt every bone in her body hurting but that wasnt going to stop her now. She tripped suddenly on the lock in the floor doorway. She pulled it open with out a second thought below were the eyes of the girl who tried to warn her to be silent. She yanked her up into the light, the girl shyed away with fear of the light and pain. Jamie dragged the ghostly girl to the truck and pulled her into it. there they waited, as they watched over the dash at the flashing parts of house go past the headlights and fall to the floor.<br />Jamie and the girl were breathing hard, as if they had just came up from swimming for thirty minutes and held their breath.<br /><br />"GO GO GO!" James was yelling and they soon saw Derrick run across the headlights view as he ran around and jumped in the drivers seat and began to back up with both girls staring at him he did not pay them any mind as James came running and jumped up and scambered over the hood and on top of the cab and into the bed of the truck just as they cleared the wall they came threw. Jamie watched him as he stared at her with his riffle in his hand. There was nothing they could do but get the hell out of there. Derrick sped around and hit the gas pedal as hard as he could as they seemed to hit something big. It screached like a puppy, Jamie stared over the hood as the truck stoped a huge claw hit the hood as if helping it pull itself up.<br /><br />Derrick tried to start the truck up again but as he did this time the truck spuddered. Something wasnt working right, finally it roared to life after several tries.<br /><br />"Whatever that was, its road pizza now!" Derrick laughed as they bounced down the road and into the trees where they could not see that house anymore. Jamie breathed a sigh of relief, as the girl next to her did the same. They kept going down the road in a fast pace. Derrick wanted to just get home. James leaned against the cab as he breathed outside holding his gun and watching the darkness behind them. He prayed they were safe, but then he heard another growl. His heart learched forward as he prepared himself for a nother fight.<br /><br />Up from behind the tail gate came a creature from movies legends, James stared at it, unable to move. It was like a giant bat like creature, yet not quite and its face was magled and bloody. It was grinding its teeth in a horrible noise. James stared at it as he hung on with one hand to the cab of the truck. Suddenly there was a gunshot to his left. JAMIE Was hanging out the window with the shotgun. James turned and stared at her as she smiled up at him she was hanging to far out of the window and he saw it coming but could not stop it in time, a tree limb knocked her clean off the lip of the window and onto the ground. she was inches from the back tire rolling over her the truck skidded to a halt. James was yelling something but Jamie couldnt hear him, the limb had knocked her breath away. She tried to sit up as she noticed they were pointing and James was coming for her. She stumbled to her feet as he caught her hands dragging her back to the truck.<br /><br />"Come on It could be still alive...!" He yelled at her and she ran for the truck as they got up on the tail gate James got in and told Derrick to GO! as the truck started to go Jamie felt a claw grab her feet. She knew what it was she held onto the tailgate as the truck raced on. James grabbed onto her they were looking face to face as he would not let go. He braced himself against the tailgate with both feet holding to both her hands as she hung in the air dragging the creature behind her. Tearing at her ankle her flesh. James looked up and there were more creatures like three more. He yelled at Derrick to go faster, and he felt the truck race faster down the sandy road. Jamie could feel every bump as her arm pits rested upon the tailgate, each bump tore into her causing pain, she felt as if she was being torn apart bit by bit. Jamie was crying and screaming by this point James could not let go and pick up the gun, he was cussing at himself for his lack of strength, he knew they had to do something. Jamie yelled something he opened his eyes. THEY were loosing the tailgate, it was a broken latch to begin with, it jerked backwards a bit, almost ready to let go. With it went James heart, he was scared before, now he was terrified, they could both fall off the truck in seconds.<br /><br /><br />"LET ME GO, I DONT want you to fall too, let me go James...." She screamed. He shook his head and she saw the look in his eyes, he was not going to sacrifice her to save himself. She wriggled her hands.<br /><br />"JAMIE NO!" He couldnt stop her but she was trying to get free of him to save him from falling with her. THE latch sliped a bit again. James pleaded with her to stop trying too let go. She looked at him determined.<br /><br />"I DONT LOVE YOU I HATE YOU LET ME GO NOW!" She roared at him threw her tears. He let her go but placed her hands on the tailgate.<br /><br />"HOLD ON TEN SECONDS!" HE yelled to her face, but she was so weak and unable to hold on...her breath was labored and he dove for the shotgun he had left in the bed of the truck when she fell off. He stood up and there he got a good view of the creature crawling up her leg. It was hidious and something he thought he would never even imagine in his worst nightmares. It was a creature of darkness and evil he could feel the beings evilness thick in the wind about him it looked up at James eyes burning red, ears flapping backwards in the wind, IT screached as James pulled the gun up loaded and ready, he shot it straight in the head as it exsploded all over the others backed off and jamie started to loose her grip one hand flew off and the other was about gone when James grabbed her again. He pulled her up to him and the both fell into the back of the bed of the truck with a thump.<br /><br />"YOU ALRIGHT?" Derrick asked threw the shattered window of the back of the cab.<br />"YEAH KEEP GOING AND KEEP IT FAST!" His brother listened and drove on faster he had no idea who the girl was beside him her long black hair fallen over her face, she was dressed in a ripped up old sheet it looked like to him, but he did not speak to her just consentrated on the road ahead. How could this have happened? He thought to himself.<br /><br /><br />"You still dont love me?" James whispered in her ear as he held onto her tight. Jamie smiled, her body hurt everything hurt and yet being held and holding James made her feel so safe and warm better than she had felt in a long time. They backed up to the cab trying not to get cut by the glass, so they would have the security of the cab behind them. Jamie sat in between his legs as both arms were wrapped around her.<br />"Oh no, I think no Im sure I love you even more now." She smiled as he kissed her cheek she had turned to him. She thought she saw a tear, from the moonlight, around his eyes.<br />"I almost lost you too...." He choked out as the truck skidded to a halt. THEY were back to the house, and safe. Derrick got out of the truck, and ran around to the tailgate to help his brother and Jamie out she couldnt stand on her leg, Derrick took her into his arms as James jumped down his head still pound as hard as his heart, he moved to the truck and helped the other girl out of the cab, he still could not see her face she was so skinny and so bruised he wondered how she ever survived. THEN THEY all heard it. THE screeching noises of the creatures, they were coming still! Derrick turned and ran up the stairs to the houses front door and yelled at James to hurry. James grabbed the girl and threw her over his shoulder and ran as fast as he could to the door leaving behind all the guns in the truck. Once threw the doorway Derrick snapped the door shut and bolted it. He had dropped Jamie on the foyer floor, she sat there as James stumbled on her feet.<br /><br />"QUICK THE OTHER DOORS THE WINDOWS SHUT THE HOUSE UP!" She yelled as James set the girl on her feet and ran threw the living room to the kitchen and to the back door bolting it shut.<br />"DERRICK HIT THE SILENT ALARM ILL CALL 911!" He yelled out as he grabbed the phone, Derrick hit the silent alarm button and it began to flash brightly. Now that would bring someone in authority.<br /><br />He turned as saw the girl disapear down the hallway towards the back of the house. He let her go as he heard loud poundings on the front door, Jamie screamed he turned to her and held her mouth. "YOU Got to be silent. Im gonna go around and shut off all the lights you stay here..." He ran threw the house shutting off the lights and knowing full well they could see out better with the huge lampost out front and the large street light out back. He ran to the kitchen where James was telling the 911 operatior that some wild animal was attacking them in their home and it had already torn them up and that they needed an ambulence as well as armed policemen to put it down. Derrick thought it was smart of him not to rant that some bat creature out of a movie was attacking them.<br /><br />"What kind of a animal is it sir?" The operator asked him,<br />"Im not sure, it was large and there are more than 4 of them, right now they have us trapped in our house and we cant get out, please my girlfriend is severly hurt, she was mauled by the creature and she loosing tons of blood I NEED SOMEONE HERE RIGHT AWAY! Dont come alone bring policemen to get in, or they might attack anything new that comes to the house! THEY will tear up a human being!" He tried to sound like a sain human, although what was outside was not making him feel very sain. He heard the back doorway get rammed by something.<br /><br />"What was that?" The operatior asked.<br />"ITS Those things they are trying to get in and we have the doors shut! Please HURRY!" He set the phone down on the counter he wasnt going to waist more time talking to her. He ran to the front of the house in the dark as he grabbed onto Jamie he heard Derrick behind him.<br />"Take her to mom and Dads room with the gun cabnet, WE can face them off there...IF they get inside. Ill get that other girl." Derrick ran down the hall looking in each room, then he noticed the last door was open, his sisters room, he ran down there and saw her holding a teddy bear in her lap and rocking back and fourth on the bed. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back with him down the dark hallway. To the large room on the first right, there he lead her into the room and let her go, James was already moving the large dresser towards the doorway Derrick knew they had one huge weakness in this room NO windows but there was a sliding glass door on the large wall. It went out onto the deck. The curtains were drawn and the bright street light gave the a bit of visibility inside the room. Jamie and the girl were on the floor near the back walk in closet and the bathroom.<br /><br />"Jamie you two get in the closet and hide lock the door too!" He told her, but she pointed for the girl to get in there she hobbled on one foot and locked the door and turned on the light leaving her inside and protected. Jamie hobbled back to the chair. James and Derrick were turning the bed over to cover the sliding glass door with a huge matress and then moved the dresser to support it. It was a long grand dresser and would serve the purpose well.<br /><br />"I got the front door to the room locked and the dresser there, they shouldnt get threw there. This helps but IM not sure we are intirely safe in here." Derrick heard James as he moved to the gun cabnet. Now was time to get prepared if they did get in. Derrick was glad his Dad had taught them well when they were boys. James saw Jamie sitting in the chair.<br /><br />"I told you get in the closet." He wanted to yell at her, but she shook her head.<br />"JAMES You know I can shoot a gun better one more gun on hand than me sitting in the closet waiting for my death. Come on load me a gun." He sighed but knew she was a great shot, she had been out hunting with him several times and always got a good kill. She was almost a marksmen compaired to him. He nodded and moved back to Derrick who had two guns loaded and on the boxspring of the bed already. He picked one up and took it back to Jamie whose leg was paining her so badly she tried not to show it.<br /><br />"Soon as we get the guns loaded Ill help you with your leg." She nodded and put the gun in her lap and looked on her mother in laws vanity and grabbed the motrin taking four she swallowed them with out water. Hoping that would help the pain. She held her breath as they all caught sight of shadows moving out across the deck and trying to get threw the glass, claws raking across the glass made the three of them freeze. Suddenly they heard a crash down the hallway. James looked at Jamie.<br />"THEY are in...be silent." He whispered and heard something push on the door but James was already leaning with all his weight upon the dresser, soon it stopped the door was locked but he was afraid it would not have stopped at the simply locked door. He breathed out slowly.<br /><br />Jamie saw the phone and picked it up, the 911 operator was still on the line and they could hear what was going on in the kitchen.<br /><br />"Hello, were in the bedroom get someone here fast, they are in the house..." Jamie whispered to the operator who told her there were six units on the way and a special animal squad as well. Jamie wanted to snort to that, but she did not.<br />"Stay on the line with me, dont hang up..." The operator said to her, but suddenly the line went dead. Jamie looked up at James with the look of fear upon her face.<br /><br />"I think they know where we are now." She said as the pounding upon the door started again. Derrick ran to lean on the dresser with him. Guns ready to go, Jamie stood up and hopped to one shotgun and picked it up aiming above the boys ready for whatever came threw the door.<br /><br />She knew it would not be long but before she could think the lights went out they hit the fuse box and the light outside the streelights were gone so there was no silowets even. James and Derrick held on tight, pushing hard making sure nothing was going to push its way threw.<br /><br />Jamie screamed as suddenly the glass shattered and the bed came flying at her knocking her down onto the ground. Before she could wriggle free she heard the boys yelling and screaming almost she tried to get free with the gun, but it took her a good five seconds. When she poked her head free, gone...no one nothing. She whispered into the dark silence only thing lighting the room was a flashlight on the floor near the back wall. She wanted to call out but knew she should not what if there was still a creature in the room. Then she saw it lights coming up the road, lights that flooded the empty room. It was the police, but Jamie couldnt move... she screamed for them as they came up the hallway and busted in the doorway they had so tried to baracade. Instantly the flashlights were all over her, questions flying when she saw two people coming down the halway she feared most.<br /><br />"JAMIE! Where are James and Derrick!" The boys mother asked in fear of the cyclone that had hit her room.<br /><br />"Those creatures took them Mrs Rice, I swear I couldnt stop them. The bed fell on me, and I couldn't get up!" Jamie was fine until she saw James mothers contorted face.<br /><br />"Whoa, its alright Jamie, those boys could of taken care of themselves if they could." Their father stated as he helped her to a seat, many police officers were about her and more outside searching the grounds.<br /><br />"You need to tell us what happened..." He said to her as the sherrif nodded in agreement.<br /><br />"I broke down on that back road... and started walking, I got scared when I reached that house and Got my phone to work called James he and Derrick tried but couldnt save me... and OH!" She was talking so fast no one could rightly follow the story. She hopped to the closet, opening the door she motioned to the girl inside who had been hidden in there for a long time.<br /><br />Slowly she came out, her dirty matted blonde hair was caked with mud and dirt. NO one could rightly see her face, and the fact that she stared at the ground didnt help.<br /><br />"I found her there in there house under the floor board, James and Derrick saved her and I, I swear they were going to eat us." The girl looked up as the others listened.<br /><br />"I FOUND SOMETHING!" One of the deputys spouted on the radio, making them all jump.<br /><br />"Alright Terence Ill be right there DONT You move!" The Sheriff answered his call.<br /><br />No one noticed the young girl that was saved had turned and stared at the wife and husband with whome the house belonged.<br /><br />Finally she spoke softly.<br /><br />"Momma?" She looked threw her hair dreneched with god knew what. Mrs Rice turned white as if she saw a ghost.<br /><br />Time almost stood still as Jamie watched as James little sister Sabrina was engulfed in hugs of her parents tears streaming. Jamie was just about the only one not smiling. SHE pulled a bandage on tight and hobbled out of the room,<br /><br />"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND! JAMES AND DERRICK ARE MISSING AND I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THEM, THEY NEVER ONCE GAVE UP ON ME!" she shouted as she followed the Sheriff who thought of storming out the same time.<br /><br />Jamie felt the Sheriff on her shoulder and helped her out the front door they went on to the back pourch where on the ground was a bloody red blue shirt, ripped and clawed to shreads, instantly Jamie felt the sting of tears to her eyes, it hurt god the pain that was James, shirt. How could this happen how could they do this, how could this not be just another nightmare. She wandered backwards as she covered her mouth, the sheriff knew it had to have been one of the boys shirt, just by her reaction and pain written across her face.<br /><br />Jamie felt she had to do something something to save them, she wasnt going to give up she was never going to give in, they had their little sister under that kitchen floor for over a year cause people gave up on her. SHE would not give up on those two for nothing.<br /><br />Little did she think, the police were fixing to gather together and move down to the house and have it seazed. But no she feared they would just give up like before she paniced and moved to the nearest car that was free to pull out. She jumped in and grabbed the shot gun that was laying on the seat next to her, setting it for easy grabbing she threw it into drive and took off down the dirt road she was trying to get up that night before. She passed the lake, it was starting to become morning and the mist had come out giving her a eerie feeling and dreadful panic in her gut, she swallowed down time and again. Hitting the gas harder she knew the police would not be far behind her, she didnt care about the mayhem she was causing for them, she just wanted to be the one to get those boys out of trouble.<br /><br />There was nothing that was going to stop her, she felt she could kill anything and take all of them if she had to, they were never going to cut her love. The man she loved would be safe before the sun came out fully.<br /><br />She pushed herself on harder when she noticed a gun pouch on the floor next to the middle of the car, she grabbed it and put it on the seat hopefully there would be a loaded pistal in there, she was pretty sure it would not be loaded. She pulled open the glovebox and found a few bullets. This cop was not careful with his amo and for that she was thankful she grabbed them out of the plastic case with one hand and put them in her jacket pocket, James had given her in the bedroom.<br /><br />"I WILL SAVE YOU GUYS DONT WORRY IM COMING, or FUCKING DIE TRYING!" She slid to a hault in front of the house. No one came out, she pulled the pistal out and loaded it keeping a few rounds in her pocket she got out and brought the shot gun with her.<br /><br />Her head was full of all the things her father taught her about shooting a gun. She had taken the hunter safety courses and went out with James two times hunting, she was not scared to shoot, she was more scared of what she might find of those she was here to save.<br /><br />She noticed the opening from the truck the first time the boys blasted threw the kitchen, she stepped in and looked around nothing, she listened watching for anything to move, she would of shot a rat if it had moved. Then she heard it, a male scream outside, it was out back, she went out the way she came in and hobbled around to the back of the building. She could see the overgrown grass harboring a huge garage behind the delapodated house. She moved towards it watching all angles keeping the shotgun up and ready to fire. As she rounded the doorways blocking her view, she saw something she never will ever forget, bodys hanging everywhere, some in the worst shape you could ever imagine. Hanging on a hook was her beloved James he was struggling as he hung there sideways his shoulder gouged into a meat hook like a side of beef. She tried to breath, it wasnt there, she tried to speak it wasnt there, she tried to pull the gun up and hold it steady, it wasnt there.<br /><br />"Fuck...." Escaped her lips in a hushed whisper. The creatures were gone and humans were once again walking below the bodys, not one of the three had noticed her standing there in broad daylight staring at them with a gun.<br /><br />James saw her, but he could not speak they stared at eachother, as the huge man put a pinching clip of some sort to his skin James cried out in pain but before anyone could do anything the man ripped the skin from James body, exposing his muscle and there the skin dangled from his waist. Jamie almost fainted, her body was reeling and she stumbled backwards. Then seeing James pass out, she was even more determined. She moved foreard on that hurt leg and she did not warn them she full out shot the bigest man there full shot taking him out as he slumped over. The next man came at her, she felt hot flash hit her, she closed her eyes and squeezed off the next round. It blew off the mans arm but he kept coming, she screamed as she tried to block him, he hit her full run and took her down to her back. She felt sick as she tried to get the pistal. Suddenly she heard the police cars wailing and the man jumped up from her and she thought it was over but he grabbed her and punched her in the face.<br /><br />James woke in great pain his body hurting in ways he never knew possible but just before they disapeared he saw Jamie on the shoulder of a one armed man. He tried to cry out, but there was nothing he could do or speak. Then he suddenly heard his mothers screams, as he opened his eyes, he could see her with his father. He tried to speak but still he could not. Instantly the policemen were on eachothers backs trying to get him down with out anymore undo harm.<br /><br />"The other boy is here Sheriff, he is alive!" He said from a hay filled corner. Derrick had a huge bloody wound upon his head, but he was slowly coming round.<br /><br />"They....went...into...the woods ... dad...jamie.....save her...she stopped them from ...killing us..." He pointed towards the back of the barn. As his Parents both looked in the direction.<br /><br />"Dont worry son the Police will handle it from here..."<br /><br />James knew that they were done for, he looked up at the house, it was so errie looking, he knew that his girl was gone if those creatures had anything to do with it. He couldnt move his arm, and he couldnt stand proper with most his skin ripped off.<br /><br />"Dad IF you don't save her after she saved my life Derricks and that girls life, I will never speak to you again. I love her damn it she is all that has saved us today they were ready to hack us into peices." He tried to yell but he was taken away on a streacher as the emts came to take them to a hospital.<br /><br />Jerrimiah Rice stared into the woods, as both his boys and his daughter were saved by this new girlfriend of James. How could he let her go and get killed he would never live with himself. He turned and grabbed the sheriff.<br /><br />"I say we go after them as a team, not seperate or else they can pick us off. IF we go together there will not be a force so strong." Jerrimiah the father of the rice family was a tall man with blonde hair but a rakish look to him, he was fearsome some would say others would say devishly handsome. His boys were the personification of their father, just georgous eyes to behold.<br /><br />"We have a special task force on the way they should be here any moment seeing I sent for them same time we came out." Sure enough as the sherrif Duke spoke the words the special unit showed up.<br /><br />"Sorry WE were on the other side of Portland and had to get threw traffic." The head man came up to shake hands with to whome was in charge.<br />"Sheriff Duke this is Jerrimiah Rice, father of the kids attacked. We have one small problem, two of these home boys took off with one of his sons girlfriends still alive threw the brush there.... we need to loacate them easily." He heard a cough they both looked up at Jerrimiah.<br /><br />"I hate to be a nusence, but that girl has no one, no family no one to care, her parents were killed and her sister was shot last year in Portland. IF we dong get going now she isnt going to last and I wont be the one to tell my son you couldnt rescue his lovely lady fast enough. Both men nodded and agreed it was time to move out and try to search her down.<br /><br />It had been most the day I was forced to walk, I thought mostly about the finger I lost to the creature walking behind me. I use the word creature cause I know that this THING that has begun to hack of pieces off my flesh is not a human. How can you do such things and be human. I quit crying hours ago, now all I could do was think about my sanity and my friends I loved and missed. And my huge fear of death that was to come, I almost wished it would be quick and not so much wishing I could get away, just a quick death please. I begged heavenly father for some kind of help, I prayed each step.<br /><br /><br />Jamie knew her path, it was leading to her death, she had to find a way to face it or run from it. The woods grew darker and thicker the farther they went into the mountains. How could she ever find her way out now, slowly she felt a thumping, then it got louder and louder. She was shoved to the ground as a chopper flew over head. Jamie knew they were looking for her, she was so happy to hear the blades flipping threw the air. She screamed but nothing came of that when the man like creature stomped upon her back. She felt and heard it pop in several places, she groaned and felt sick as she smelled the grass and moss in her nose. The chopper stopped and started to drop several members of military officers dressed all in green and black. The two creatures grabbed up Jamie and started to race threw the woods, as fast as they could go, Jamie felt like they were racing the wind. She finally got out a scream, it was all the team needed as the chopper raced off making it easy to hear again. They fanned out and raced off after her cause of the speed of her screams getting father and father away they knew the creatures were on the run and moving very fast. IT was going to take all they had to get to her and rescue her.<br /><br />"Evens, we are to stop those creatures, the girl is exspendible. WE can not afford to let them get away no matter what." Evens heard his captain remind him as they ran off in same direction yet different paths.<br /><br />"Yes sir!" He felt his gut hit the ground, he couldnt kill an innocent, he thought to himself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Suddenly Jamie felt her face hit a branch she started cussing as she realized the creature did it on purpose he wanted her to stop screaming. She grabbed onto his arm and bit down as hard as she could, she had one chance to live and that would be to get away from them and hope as hell the good guys would find her.<br /><br />The creature started to howl and dropped her, she rolled and hit the ground running in any direction she didnt care what way it was, she just wanted to be free, she wanted to see James, she wanted life. She ran for all she was worth, before long she was alone and nothing was chasing her, she hoped. She stopped and put her back to a tree, breathing as silently as her pounding chest would let her she sat down on some pine needles, she felt their sharp sting as they softly tore into her skin. Then she heard it, a mans blood curdling scream. The creatures had turned and started to take out those hunting them. She bit her lip, it was her fault these men would die, she felt a sense of anger welling up in side of her. She heard another males voice scream and shots going off, she would soon be alone again and unarmed. She felt the anger turn to desperate nature. She ran to where the first scream came from, she hoped she could find another man with a gun there. She almost stepped on the remains of the man, but she coverd her mouth, as she looked down to a body torn into five rather large chunks, blood sprayed the leaves and bushes. She turned to wretch when she saw another pair of eyes, staring at her. He motioned to her to look down, she saw a semi automatic weapon there, she grabbed it and pulled it up, he motioned for her to come to him, as she did they heard another man being killed off to their right. This man didnt speak, he showed her how to take off the safety and then pointed her in the direction behind him. He then looked at her, pointed at her eyes then out to the woods, she knew he meant for her to watch his back and the forest. He scanned the trees and pulled up his own weapon. IF they were basing this off of scent, the bloody smell of the fallen comrade would keep them well hidden. He even kept his eyes on the bushes praying they could stay alive long enough to get reenforcements. HE Hit his homing beacon, now that she was with him. Evens knew they would make it if they used their heads.<br /><br />Slowly there came a figure closer and closer, Evens felt his body go hot with fear, his head flashed panic and fear. Jamie couldnt see what he was seeing she was still calm. He could feel her back against his. He aimed at the figure coming closer, and closer..... he would have to shoot giving away their position to the other. He knew it would all go down fast if they were not careful.<br />He took aim, waited his blood pumping harder and harder, then he saw the figure had a dark hue, almost black and hairy, he knew it was not one of his own he knew it was one of the creatures, he waited till it got close enough to kill. But soon as he was ready to take the shot, he heard a muffled noise behind him he turned and there behind the girl they were sent to rescue was the other creature like humanoid. It was almost human like, but there were differences about its face, the eyes bore into him, he had no clear shot. The girl Jamie was in the way, he remembered what he was told that she was not the only reason they came, he could at this close range kill her and the creature turn and take the other out. Evans weighed this heavily in his mind when he finally felt another hand on his shoulder, his time was up, he had no other choice, but as he started to slowly grip the trigger to his gun, he was flung to the ground. IT seemed to happen in slow motion to him. His death would be swift he hoped and closed his eyes, but infact it never happened. He heard bullets flying he stayed on the ground and kept his eyes shut. Finally all the noise quit, it was silent again no birds no noise. He looked up, to see the figure that threw him to the ground starting to waver like a falling tree. Slowly it fell over gurgling up a bile like substance from its mouth. Evans sat up, he could see the other falling over as well. Standing near a tree with her back to it, Jamie stood wide eyed and scared. She had shot them both down, she taken the steps to secure their future life. She had done what many other men could not, he suspected, the creatures saw her more as food than a threat. Slowly Evans got to his feet and walked to her, taking the gun from her shaking hands.<br /><br />"Are there any more?" He asked in a small hushed whisper, as she shook her head. He moved to his com unit, "This is Evans come in puma unit? Anyone else out there?" There was silence, he knew the grim fact that they were indeed the last to survive. He switched the signal to a new station.<br />"This is Puma unit, Targets have been taken out, The kitten is safe, request exstraction." Evans waited as he heard the chopper pilot give them quardiants for exstraction, a clear field not far, from their present position. Jamie was covered in dirt and mud and blood, Evans Wondered what she looked like on a normal day. He handed her a small tissue pack to clean up the wound on her hand, then he noticed two of her fingers were chopped off. He cringed inside for a moment, they had inteneded to eat her. He had heard the tales of the mission but it was different to see it in real life. He looked down at her, and moved her to her feet.<br /><br />"Lets go, the are going to pick us up at another location, we need to go and fast." Evans didnt want to see her loose any more blood and wanted to get the hell out of this forest. He moved to each beacon unit before leaving the area, checking each fallen member of his team, there was no need to see if there was a pulse, most men were torn to shreds where their intestions and stomachs were lying on the ground exposed to open air. They were definately dead, he pulled her along and headed for the evac unit site. THEY would have to come back for the remains. He took out his tag marker and stuck it to a tree, marking the site, he turned and pulled Jamie along, who seemed to be in a catatonic state, walking but staring ahead in fear.<br /><br /><br />Soon they were at the site, waiting for the chopper, Jamie felt a bit worried being in the open like this, but then again she was a bit more jumpy now. Slowly they turned as they heard the chopper. Jamie smiled thinking of James she prayed he was alright, she hoped her actions had saved his life. She didnt care about much other than getting home and back to him. Just then Evans saw it, same time Jamie did, the chopper set down but on the other side of it, they could see creatures coming from the dark of the tree line. Evans ran yanking Jamie with him, they had to go and fast. THERE were at least six more of those things, Jamie dove into the chopper as Evans screached for the pilot to take off. Immeadiately in the air, they prayed they were safe as the creatures watched them take off. Jamie began to cry as she watched the things that terrified her so greatly staring up at her getting smaller and smaller. She was glad they did not pursue them, she knew someday they might, but today she was going to get away. Evans marked the site and grabbed his camera and quickly took a picture of the remaining six. He knew hard proof spoke better than speculation, and these creatures were a danger to the human life on the planet. He turned back to the pilot,<br /><br />"Get us back to the base of operations, this is the single worst thing to happen to the colonys since the virus outbreak on Earth 1. THIS MUST be reported, I think the indiginous lifeforms are starting to fight back. New Earth is in danger of having its population killed." Evans looked down at the young girl, so much of her life was never going to be normal again. THEY had tried so hard to make New Earth like Earth one, they never thought to keep those new humans safe from the original lifeforms who already inhabited the planet. Jamie, closed her eyes, praying this incident was over, she breathed deeply as she heard Evans gun go off and sensors start to beep in alarm.<br /><br />"OH MY GOD, THEY ARE ATTACKING US IN THE AIR!" Was all she could hear, as her hair was wretched from the floor pulling her to face another bat like face again.<br /><br />"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"<br /><br />the end <br /><br /><br />JOEIEBURNS ART<br />Jburnstudios,<br /><br />IMPORTANT © COPYRIGHT NOTICE<br />The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted<br />©1995-2010 Jburnstudios.

            <description><![CDATA[ WALKING HOME ALONE<br />BY JOEIE<br /><br />Slowly I walked home; I could hear the birds chirping. But not like chirps of the birds of the daystar. No they were evil almost ready to do malice unto me. I pulled my jacket in closer to me. It was cold but not quite bitter enough for me to be shaking. No the lonely road seemed to do that to me all on its own. I have always had a sense of darkness in me, I know what roads to travel, what roads not to travel upon. Many times I would go out of my way not to drive upon a road. Why? Because there were spirits lingering and I could feel their hideous deaths upon the road, it was almost a stench to a road. I wished I had headed my own gut wrenching pains before I had taken this back road to my boy friends house. He was not far, but still, he told me not to come this way, and yet never told me why. I was forced upon this road due to a accident up the way, they detoured me. About seven miles down, my car just gave out. CAPLUK went the engine and there I was staring into the darkness of the night. Sure I had headlights, but how long would that last. I was not about to stay the night in the car. I finally got out, with my little Key chain flashlight and began to walk the next three miles to his house. He knew I was coming but he knew I would not come this way. I would have to make those three miles on my own.<br /><br />HOOOT<br /><br />I jumped; darn owl about made me wet my pants. I needed to hurry, I quickened my pace, but all it seemed to do is intensify my fear. I walked faster and faster things seem to close in on me where I felt the trees were reaching in towards me. Suddenly I saw a small shack. There was a light in the window, sat back a little ways off the road, nothing fancy at all. I knew to watch myself out on these southern back roads. Never know what you might run into. But yet there were still miles to go for the warmth of my loves arms. I knew I was in no good position to walk on past. There was an old ford beside the shack; it would take anyone two minutes to drive me on down the road. I walked towards the shack.<br /><br />I knocked..I heard the loudest strangest noise I had ever heard in my entire life. I backed off ready to run up the road as fast as I could.<br /><br />Standing in the doorway was one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life, and he was holding a chainsaw. I could not speak or breathe for a moment. I honestly felt my entire body seize up and freeze. I panicked as I saw red liquid drip off the coveralls he wore. That was enough for me, I did not need any scary music to clue me in, and I knew I was in for some deep crap if I stood there one more moment. I turned and ran as hard and as fast as I could. I didnt run up the road to far before, I dashed across it and into the field then up into the woods. I went into the fray of trees and stopped backed up to a large tree shaking. I turned to see what was going on behind me. Sure enough there were three figures getting into the truck yelling and calling out in some manner of glee and joy. I saw them backing up. I instantly hiked myself up the tree. HELL WITH RUNNING! I wanted them to think I ran as far as I could, but then I would back track up the real road towards my boy friends home. They took the truck down a dirt road near to where I went into the forest. I watched as their lights disappeared into the darkness of the woods. I climbed down quickly and stayed near the edge of the tree line but headed back up north away from them towards the right direction. I needed to get to James. I checked my cell phone quickly; no signal, then it beeped as I took another step. "YES!" I had a signal weak one but it was something. I hit memory one, James on speed dial still was not fast enough.<br /><br /><br />Ello, ames I .stuck.car.dead.they.kill me.accidentbackdetour.hel..I help.I.scared. James put the phone down his mind racing, a mile a minute. He tried to put the fragments together. His Jamie was in trouble. For that he was sure, back detour though, he was afraid she went the back roads to his house, his sister got lost going that way and never came home it had been three years now, she was missing. He grabbed his older brother,<br /><br />Derrick, Jamie must of been coming to the house the back way, her car broke down she said something about dead and they kill meaccident and detour I think we need to go find her! NOW! Derrick knew with out a second thought this was serious, although they had tried and tried to find their sister, police helicopters and so much more their sister was never found, that group of hill folk that lived out that way, had their home ransacked maybe three times by the police. Nothing was ever found; saving the fact they killed tons of cows and slaughtered them in their kitchen. James knew something was wrong with them the moment he saw them. His sisters car broke down side of the road just like his Jamies, it was like the night they lost her all over again.<br /><br />Damn it James DID you not tell her never ever to go that way? Derrick yelled as they put the guns in the truck.<br />Course I did, many times, but I never told her why, just to painful. I should have told her the entire story. James cussed himself as he got behind the wheel of his Chevy pick up truck.<br /><br />Yeah dumb shit, we dont need to loose another person to that psycho hillbilly family! I swear to you they eat human flesh. Derrick argued with him.<br />IF You think you are helping YOU are NOT helping shut the hell up! James started the truck and they were off, down the black dark back road a way they dared not go since the night Jenny was lost to them.<br /><br />JAMES? SHIT! the cell died, she stuffed it back in her pocket and broke into a steady run towards the roadway and the end of the field. Her body was shaking with the cold and the fear. She got to a tree when she saw the truck coming back up the side road way. Instantly she dove into a bush. Cutting her face, she pulled her shirt up over her head, to hide her breath, as they drove around near where she was. Slowly they came up with a huge beam of light on the brush, and trees. Jamie laid there frozen as the ground she lay upon she closed her eyes halfway as she kept the shirt to her mouth. They flashed her figure, but she was dressed in all black and her long black hair kept her hidden as well. She looked just like a shadow in the night. They drove on past her. She sighed with relief. Then she thought about it, they were going the direction she had to go. They were going to have to pass her again. She grimaced at the piss poor way things were going. She looked up.<br /><br />little help here? She asked the stars. Hoping god would listen if never any other time than at least right then. She watched as the truck went out of site. She stood up and started to follow the tree line with her feet getting torn up on the branches and brush, she watched constantly for the creepy people tracking her.<br /><br /><br />There are head lights ahead. Think its her? Derrick asked. But James knew better,<br />No its not her thats a truck, she drives that small car remember?<br />There was barely enough room to pass someone on that road, but they did, as they passed everyone turned and stared at one another. Derrick and James were sick to their stomachs when they saw who it was.<br /><br />Oh gowd its them  Derrick muttered out as they finished passing them. They are out looking for her I bet. He continued speaking James's worse fears.<br /><br />Good they havent found her yet. James sped up down the roadway. IF she had been anywhere before that she would have jumped out and flagged us down, we got to find her first. His voice was panicked with dread and fear for Jamies life.<br />Jamie ran further down the roadway walking fast, she figured she could hear or see the truck if it was coming back, they would be a warning of some kind, she was so scared her heart was beating a mile a minute. THEN slowly she heard a vehicle. She squinted yes there were two head lights coming up in frount of her. Jamie quickly dove into the bushes. Slowly she saw the truck go by she kept her head low, but looked up at the last minute. That truck that rattle same one she KNEW! IT was James and Derrick by the looks of the passenger. She jumped up and started to yell, but they had not heard her. Suddenly she took off in a run for the tail gate as she saw headlights again behind her. She screamed and pushed herself into a dead run faster than she has ever tried to run before, it was not long before she was catching up with the slow going truck.<br /><br /><br />"Here they come behind us again, do you think they found her and we passed her. Maybe we should speed up so they dont hit us." Derrick asked. He turned and looked behind, making out a figure waving arms at them between them and the next vehicle.<br /><br />"STOP ITS JAMIE BEHIND US!" Suddely Jamie noticed the break lights she ran harder and faster to the truck but the other truck was coming faster and faster, she leapt into the truck before James or Derrick could get out, as the truck behind them plowed into them. Jamie flew over the cab and missed the truck completely as she landed in the sandy dirt in front of both trucks. James had slamed his head on the stearing wheel but he was shaking it off.<br /><br />"Derrick you alright?" He looked up to see Derrick getting the gun off the floor.<br /><br />"TEND TO JAMIE, she flew over the truck, see if she is alright. Ill deal with these pieces of shit." Derrick was tall and handsome to most girls, Junior at collage, many a girl wanted to date him, but he was only in love with one woman, that was his mother. He was not ready to tie himself down to one girl like his little brother had. But he really liked Jamie and he missed his sister, this was his chance to ask some questions.<br /><br />"ALRIGHT NOW GET OUT OF THAT TRUCK AND TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Derrick yelled out loud and so James could hear. He dove to the ground where Jamie lay, her lip bloody and bruised.<br /><br />"My god sweetie are you alright?" He pulled her up into his lap. She dazzily looked up at him shaking her head from side to side.<br /><br />"No, they are going to kill..me..." She said as they both heard yells and gunshots. Then he heard a labored voice yell.<br /><br />"RUN JAMES RUN!" Derrick was yelling out very labored as if either in a run, or he was hit. James didn't have to be told twice he picked up Jamie and ran with her into the woods. Half dragging her, he suddenly sat down. Holding her close with her mouth covered. Footsteps all around them. Jamie felt very dazzed still she closed her eyes, and nothing else did she remember.<br /><br />Jamie woke there was no light save some slat lines above her, she looked up, something was moving around and talking. She suddenly felt like a hammer had hit her head roughly. HOW could a hammer hit your head softly she told herself and tried to stand up. But she couldnt the space was to small she could make out voices but they were to far away. Suddenly she heard a gun shot. She jumped backwards further into the darkness but bumped into something. Felt like a hand, Jamie jumped forward again as she saw a figure in the little amount light she could use. Suddenly the face was ghostly as she moved forward.<br /><br />Shh.. if your quiet you might last longer, than the others. Her voice was small hushed and shaky. She was a wreck and looked as if she had been under the floor for months. Jamie screamed as a rat ran across her legs, the girl snatched it and cracked it in half and scurried back further into the darkness when the floor above her opened up and they snatched her into the light.<br /><br />She should have been quiet the girl spoke to the dead rat, as she bit into the fur and began to tear it away and save it for her pillow she was creating.<br /><br /><br /><br />James lay in the leaves as he came to his senses something had knocked him clean out, he had no remembrance of anything for the moment. He looked to the right and heard a stumble. He didnt move, waiting to see what was coming towards him.<br />James He heard the somewhat soft voice. It was Derrick, James popped his head up but should have known better after the nasty blow to his head sent him rushed with pain threw his temples.<br /><br />Shit, my head He moaned as Derrick came close enough.<br />You alright, little bro? He asked him as he looked at the bloody wound with his flashlight.<br /><br />Sheya Ill live. But those creeps are gonna pay for this! He suddenly realized something was missing.<br />JAMIE! he looked about as Derrick held him back.<br />They took her, I couldnt chase them alone and I knew I had to find you make sure you werent dead. He looked down at him, James face was accusing and upset.<br /><br />HELL WITH ME! Why didnt you rescue her?! James was more than a bit upset.<br />Cause JAMES Your to important to this family to loose another one to that darned family. James was mad and disappointed in his brother.<br /><br />WELL I may not be a super hero, I may not be a mutant with powers but damn it I am going to go rescue the woman I love and next time YOU PUT HER FIRST! James stood up and stomped back to the truck. Derrick followed him back knowing full well how upset James was. He just couldnt shake off the fear that they shot his brother and it was just so important to him to make sure his brother was not lying there in the woods bleeding to death. Was that so wrong? He didnt think so, but now it seemed it was the wrong choice.<br /><br />Jamie screamed as each of the four large grotesque looking men stared at her and handed her to the next for a once over. They were literally licking their lips at the thought of eating her Jamie was sure of it. Finally the last one took a look at her in such a way she almost wet herself. He totally and utterly scared her to death. She was then thrust upon a chopping block. She screamed time and again, she was sure she was not going to die, but where was James, what had happened to him. Did these creatures kill him she started to cry.<br /><br />There there now missy, we cant kill you if your upset and crying spoils your meat. One of the fellers said as he tried to take up her tears with a hanky. Dirty nasty used one, Jamie moved her face away from the offer.<br /><br />Jamie looked about the room noticing many bloody heads on the wall, as if they were hunted sport trophies. Jamie screamed again, this was not looking good not at all.<br /><br />She saw one of those things that resembled a man near her with a meat cleaver. Jamie shut her eyes knowing the end was just there ahead of her.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz"/>lease god save James this pain, let him be alive She felt the red hot heat flow threw her she knew her death was near..<br />Jamie prayed and felt like her heart would burst when she heard a loud noise, as everyone turned it was headlights to a vehicle coming their way. Straight at the building. Jamie screamed as the truck threw the wall in all directions at the occupents inside. Jamies table toppled sideways as she listened she could hear yelling and boards being thrown and then suddenly a gun went off. Then silence she stared at the old fish wall paper in front of her and prayed it was James, and Derrick there to rescue her. She felt the blood rushing to her head and the dizzing smell of blood and sweat.<br /><br />"Damn it Derrick you could have killed her!" James yelled and got out, he could not see her anywhere. The both began to look around when something grabbed Derricks leg he shot it, he had never seen splattered brains in real life, he turned and threw up. James kept walking threw the rubble of the house.<br /><br />"JAMIE!" He hollered out.<br /><br />"HERE! IM HERE ON THE TABLE!" She yelled out her voice was a bit shaky and horse. James leapt over to her table and pulled it back so he could see her, she was tied to it.<br /><br />"THOSE Bastards are going to pay for this!" He yelled out as he started to untie her, but before she could think or act James was being torn off her, the lights flickerd out and they were suddenly in darkness save the headlights of the truck. Jamie screamed as she heard growling and snarling. Something nasty was in the room with them. Jamie froze, more scared to move than anything. Then she felt fingers on her wrists.<br />"Lets get you to the truck now." It was Derrick and she was glad to see him, "Hurry get in the truck and we will be right there, I am going to get James! GO fast now!" He leaped over the table and into the kitchen where the noise was going on. Jamie jumped over the table and felt every bone in her body hurting but that wasnt going to stop her now. She tripped suddenly on the lock in the floor doorway. She pulled it open with out a second thought below were the eyes of the girl who tried to warn her to be silent. She yanked her up into the light, the girl shyed away with fear of the light and pain. Jamie dragged the ghostly girl to the truck and pulled her into it. there they waited, as they watched over the dash at the flashing parts of house go past the headlights and fall to the floor.<br />Jamie and the girl were breathing hard, as if they had just came up from swimming for thirty minutes and held their breath.<br /><br />"GO GO GO!" James was yelling and they soon saw Derrick run across the headlights view as he ran around and jumped in the drivers seat and began to back up with both girls staring at him he did not pay them any mind as James came running and jumped up and scambered over the hood and on top of the cab and into the bed of the truck just as they cleared the wall they came threw. Jamie watched him as he stared at her with his riffle in his hand. There was nothing they could do but get the hell out of there. Derrick sped around and hit the gas pedal as hard as he could as they seemed to hit something big. It screached like a puppy, Jamie stared over the hood as the truck stoped a huge claw hit the hood as if helping it pull itself up.<br /><br />Derrick tried to start the truck up again but as he did this time the truck spuddered. Something wasnt working right, finally it roared to life after several tries.<br /><br />"Whatever that was, its road pizza now!" Derrick laughed as they bounced down the road and into the trees where they could not see that house anymore. Jamie breathed a sigh of relief, as the girl next to her did the same. They kept going down the road in a fast pace. Derrick wanted to just get home. James leaned against the cab as he breathed outside holding his gun and watching the darkness behind them. He prayed they were safe, but then he heard another growl. His heart learched forward as he prepared himself for a nother fight.<br /><br />Up from behind the tail gate came a creature from movies legends, James stared at it, unable to move. It was like a giant bat like creature, yet not quite and its face was magled and bloody. It was grinding its teeth in a horrible noise. James stared at it as he hung on with one hand to the cab of the truck. Suddenly there was a gunshot to his left. JAMIE Was hanging out the window with the shotgun. James turned and stared at her as she smiled up at him she was hanging to far out of the window and he saw it coming but could not stop it in time, a tree limb knocked her clean off the lip of the window and onto the ground. she was inches from the back tire rolling over her the truck skidded to a halt. James was yelling something but Jamie couldnt hear him, the limb had knocked her breath away. She tried to sit up as she noticed they were pointing and James was coming for her. She stumbled to her feet as he caught her hands dragging her back to the truck.<br /><br />"Come on It could be still alive...!" He yelled at her and she ran for the truck as they got up on the tail gate James got in and told Derrick to GO! as the truck started to go Jamie felt a claw grab her feet. She knew what it was she held onto the tailgate as the truck raced on. James grabbed onto her they were looking face to face as he would not let go. He braced himself against the tailgate with both feet holding to both her hands as she hung in the air dragging the creature behind her. Tearing at her ankle her flesh. James looked up and there were more creatures like three more. He yelled at Derrick to go faster, and he felt the truck race faster down the sandy road. Jamie could feel every bump as her arm pits rested upon the tailgate, each bump tore into her causing pain, she felt as if she was being torn apart bit by bit. Jamie was crying and screaming by this point James could not let go and pick up the gun, he was cussing at himself for his lack of strength, he knew they had to do something. Jamie yelled something he opened his eyes. THEY were loosing the tailgate, it was a broken latch to begin with, it jerked backwards a bit, almost ready to let go. With it went James heart, he was scared before, now he was terrified, they could both fall off the truck in seconds.<br /><br /><br />"LET ME GO, I DONT want you to fall too, let me go James...." She screamed. He shook his head and she saw the look in his eyes, he was not going to sacrifice her to save himself. She wriggled her hands.<br /><br />"JAMIE NO!" He couldnt stop her but she was trying to get free of him to save him from falling with her. THE latch sliped a bit again. James pleaded with her to stop trying too let go. She looked at him determined.<br /><br />"I DONT LOVE YOU I HATE YOU LET ME GO NOW!" She roared at him threw her tears. He let her go but placed her hands on the tailgate.<br /><br />"HOLD ON TEN SECONDS!" HE yelled to her face, but she was so weak and unable to hold on...her breath was labored and he dove for the shotgun he had left in the bed of the truck when she fell off. He stood up and there he got a good view of the creature crawling up her leg. It was hidious and something he thought he would never even imagine in his worst nightmares. It was a creature of darkness and evil he could feel the beings evilness thick in the wind about him it looked up at James eyes burning red, ears flapping backwards in the wind, IT screached as James pulled the gun up loaded and ready, he shot it straight in the head as it exsploded all over the others backed off and jamie started to loose her grip one hand flew off and the other was about gone when James grabbed her again. He pulled her up to him and the both fell into the back of the bed of the truck with a thump.<br /><br />"YOU ALRIGHT?" Derrick asked threw the shattered window of the back of the cab.<br />"YEAH KEEP GOING AND KEEP IT FAST!" His brother listened and drove on faster he had no idea who the girl was beside him her long black hair fallen over her face, she was dressed in a ripped up old sheet it looked like to him, but he did not speak to her just consentrated on the road ahead. How could this have happened? He thought to himself.<br /><br /><br />"You still dont love me?" James whispered in her ear as he held onto her tight. Jamie smiled, her body hurt everything hurt and yet being held and holding James made her feel so safe and warm better than she had felt in a long time. They backed up to the cab trying not to get cut by the glass, so they would have the security of the cab behind them. Jamie sat in between his legs as both arms were wrapped around her.<br />"Oh no, I think no Im sure I love you even more now." She smiled as he kissed her cheek she had turned to him. She thought she saw a tear, from the moonlight, around his eyes.<br />"I almost lost you too...." He choked out as the truck skidded to a halt. THEY were back to the house, and safe. Derrick got out of the truck, and ran around to the tailgate to help his brother and Jamie out she couldnt stand on her leg, Derrick took her into his arms as James jumped down his head still pound as hard as his heart, he moved to the truck and helped the other girl out of the cab, he still could not see her face she was so skinny and so bruised he wondered how she ever survived. THEN THEY all heard it. THE screeching noises of the creatures, they were coming still! Derrick turned and ran up the stairs to the houses front door and yelled at James to hurry. James grabbed the girl and threw her over his shoulder and ran as fast as he could to the door leaving behind all the guns in the truck. Once threw the doorway Derrick snapped the door shut and bolted it. He had dropped Jamie on the foyer floor, she sat there as James stumbled on her feet.<br /><br />"QUICK THE OTHER DOORS THE WINDOWS SHUT THE HOUSE UP!" She yelled as James set the girl on her feet and ran threw the living room to the kitchen and to the back door bolting it shut.<br />"DERRICK HIT THE SILENT ALARM ILL CALL 911!" He yelled out as he grabbed the phone, Derrick hit the silent alarm button and it began to flash brightly. Now that would bring someone in authority.<br /><br />He turned as saw the girl disapear down the hallway towards the back of the house. He let her go as he heard loud poundings on the front door, Jamie screamed he turned to her and held her mouth. "YOU Got to be silent. Im gonna go around and shut off all the lights you stay here..." He ran threw the house shutting off the lights and knowing full well they could see out better with the huge lampost out front and the large street light out back. He ran to the kitchen where James was telling the 911 operatior that some wild animal was attacking them in their home and it had already torn them up and that they needed an ambulence as well as armed policemen to put it down. Derrick thought it was smart of him not to rant that some bat creature out of a movie was attacking them.<br /><br />"What kind of a animal is it sir?" The operator asked him,<br />"Im not sure, it was large and there are more than 4 of them, right now they have us trapped in our house and we cant get out, please my girlfriend is severly hurt, she was mauled by the creature and she loosing tons of blood I NEED SOMEONE HERE RIGHT AWAY! Dont come alone bring policemen to get in, or they might attack anything new that comes to the house! THEY will tear up a human being!" He tried to sound like a sain human, although what was outside was not making him feel very sain. He heard the back doorway get rammed by something.<br /><br />"What was that?" The operatior asked.<br />"ITS Those things they are trying to get in and we have the doors shut! Please HURRY!" He set the phone down on the counter he wasnt going to waist more time talking to her. He ran to the front of the house in the dark as he grabbed onto Jamie he heard Derrick behind him.<br />"Take her to mom and Dads room with the gun cabnet, WE can face them off there...IF they get inside. Ill get that other girl." Derrick ran down the hall looking in each room, then he noticed the last door was open, his sisters room, he ran down there and saw her holding a teddy bear in her lap and rocking back and fourth on the bed. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back with him down the dark hallway. To the large room on the first right, there he lead her into the room and let her go, James was already moving the large dresser towards the doorway Derrick knew they had one huge weakness in this room NO windows but there was a sliding glass door on the large wall. It went out onto the deck. The curtains were drawn and the bright street light gave the a bit of visibility inside the room. Jamie and the girl were on the floor near the back walk in closet and the bathroom.<br /><br />"Jamie you two get in the closet and hide lock the door too!" He told her, but she pointed for the girl to get in there she hobbled on one foot and locked the door and turned on the light leaving her inside and protected. Jamie hobbled back to the chair. James and Derrick were turning the bed over to cover the sliding glass door with a huge matress and then moved the dresser to support it. It was a long grand dresser and would serve the purpose well.<br /><br />"I got the front door to the room locked and the dresser there, they shouldnt get threw there. This helps but IM not sure we are intirely safe in here." Derrick heard James as he moved to the gun cabnet. Now was time to get prepared if they did get in. Derrick was glad his Dad had taught them well when they were boys. James saw Jamie sitting in the chair.<br /><br />"I told you get in the closet." He wanted to yell at her, but she shook her head.<br />"JAMES You know I can shoot a gun better one more gun on hand than me sitting in the closet waiting for my death. Come on load me a gun." He sighed but knew she was a great shot, she had been out hunting with him several times and always got a good kill. She was almost a marksmen compaired to him. He nodded and moved back to Derrick who had two guns loaded and on the boxspring of the bed already. He picked one up and took it back to Jamie whose leg was paining her so badly she tried not to show it.<br /><br />"Soon as we get the guns loaded Ill help you with your leg." She nodded and put the gun in her lap and looked on her mother in laws vanity and grabbed the motrin taking four she swallowed them with out water. Hoping that would help the pain. She held her breath as they all caught sight of shadows moving out across the deck and trying to get threw the glass, claws raking across the glass made the three of them freeze. Suddenly they heard a crash down the hallway. James looked at Jamie.<br />"THEY are in...be silent." He whispered and heard something push on the door but James was already leaning with all his weight upon the dresser, soon it stopped the door was locked but he was afraid it would not have stopped at the simply locked door. He breathed out slowly.<br /><br />Jamie saw the phone and picked it up, the 911 operator was still on the line and they could hear what was going on in the kitchen.<br /><br />"Hello, were in the bedroom get someone here fast, they are in the house..." Jamie whispered to the operator who told her there were six units on the way and a special animal squad as well. Jamie wanted to snort to that, but she did not.<br />"Stay on the line with me, dont hang up..." The operator said to her, but suddenly the line went dead. Jamie looked up at James with the look of fear upon her face.<br /><br />"I think they know where we are now." She said as the pounding upon the door started again. Derrick ran to lean on the dresser with him. Guns ready to go, Jamie stood up and hopped to one shotgun and picked it up aiming above the boys ready for whatever came threw the door.<br /><br />She knew it would not be long but before she could think the lights went out they hit the fuse box and the light outside the streelights were gone so there was no silowets even. James and Derrick held on tight, pushing hard making sure nothing was going to push its way threw.<br /><br />Jamie screamed as suddenly the glass shattered and the bed came flying at her knocking her down onto the ground. Before she could wriggle free she heard the boys yelling and screaming almost she tried to get free with the gun, but it took her a good five seconds. When she poked her head free, gone...no one nothing. She whispered into the dark silence only thing lighting the room was a flashlight on the floor near the back wall. She wanted to call out but knew she should not what if there was still a creature in the room. Then she saw it lights coming up the road, lights that flooded the empty room. It was the police, but Jamie couldnt move... she screamed for them as they came up the hallway and busted in the doorway they had so tried to baracade. Instantly the flashlights were all over her, questions flying when she saw two people coming down the halway she feared most.<br /><br />"JAMIE! Where are James and Derrick!" The boys mother asked in fear of the cyclone that had hit her room.<br /><br />"Those creatures took them Mrs Rice, I swear I couldnt stop them. The bed fell on me, and I couldn't get up!" Jamie was fine until she saw James mothers contorted face.<br /><br />"Whoa, its alright Jamie, those boys could of taken care of themselves if they could." Their father stated as he helped her to a seat, many police officers were about her and more outside searching the grounds.<br /><br />"You need to tell us what happened..." He said to her as the sherrif nodded in agreement.<br /><br />"I broke down on that back road... and started walking, I got scared when I reached that house and Got my phone to work called James he and Derrick tried but couldnt save me... and OH!" She was talking so fast no one could rightly follow the story. She hopped to the closet, opening the door she motioned to the girl inside who had been hidden in there for a long time.<br /><br />Slowly she came out, her dirty matted blonde hair was caked with mud and dirt. NO one could rightly see her face, and the fact that she stared at the ground didnt help.<br /><br />"I found her there in there house under the floor board, James and Derrick saved her and I, I swear they were going to eat us." The girl looked up as the others listened.<br /><br />"I FOUND SOMETHING!" One of the deputys spouted on the radio, making them all jump.<br /><br />"Alright Terence Ill be right there DONT You move!" The Sheriff answered his call.<br /><br />No one noticed the young girl that was saved had turned and stared at the wife and husband with whome the house belonged.<br /><br />Finally she spoke softly.<br /><br />"Momma?" She looked threw her hair dreneched with god knew what. Mrs Rice turned white as if she saw a ghost.<br /><br />Time almost stood still as Jamie watched as James little sister Sabrina was engulfed in hugs of her parents tears streaming. Jamie was just about the only one not smiling. SHE pulled a bandage on tight and hobbled out of the room,<br /><br />"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND! JAMES AND DERRICK ARE MISSING AND I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THEM, THEY NEVER ONCE GAVE UP ON ME!" she shouted as she followed the Sheriff who thought of storming out the same time.<br /><br />Jamie felt the Sheriff on her shoulder and helped her out the front door they went on to the back pourch where on the ground was a bloody red blue shirt, ripped and clawed to shreads, instantly Jamie felt the sting of tears to her eyes, it hurt god the pain that was James, shirt. How could this happen how could they do this, how could this not be just another nightmare. She wandered backwards as she covered her mouth, the sheriff knew it had to have been one of the boys shirt, just by her reaction and pain written across her face.<br /><br />Jamie felt she had to do something something to save them, she wasnt going to give up she was never going to give in, they had their little sister under that kitchen floor for over a year cause people gave up on her. SHE would not give up on those two for nothing.<br /><br />Little did she think, the police were fixing to gather together and move down to the house and have it seazed. But no she feared they would just give up like before she paniced and moved to the nearest car that was free to pull out. She jumped in and grabbed the shot gun that was laying on the seat next to her, setting it for easy grabbing she threw it into drive and took off down the dirt road she was trying to get up that night before. She passed the lake, it was starting to become morning and the mist had come out giving her a eerie feeling and dreadful panic in her gut, she swallowed down time and again. Hitting the gas harder she knew the police would not be far behind her, she didnt care about the mayhem she was causing for them, she just wanted to be the one to get those boys out of trouble.<br /><br />There was nothing that was going to stop her, she felt she could kill anything and take all of them if she had to, they were never going to cut her love. The man she loved would be safe before the sun came out fully.<br /><br />She pushed herself on harder when she noticed a gun pouch on the floor next to the middle of the car, she grabbed it and put it on the seat hopefully there would be a loaded pistal in there, she was pretty sure it would not be loaded. She pulled open the glovebox and found a few bullets. This cop was not careful with his amo and for that she was thankful she grabbed them out of the plastic case with one hand and put them in her jacket pocket, James had given her in the bedroom.<br /><br />"I WILL SAVE YOU GUYS DONT WORRY IM COMING, or FUCKING DIE TRYING!" She slid to a hault in front of the house. No one came out, she pulled the pistal out and loaded it keeping a few rounds in her pocket she got out and brought the shot gun with her.<br /><br />Her head was full of all the things her father taught her about shooting a gun. She had taken the hunter safety courses and went out with James two times hunting, she was not scared to shoot, she was more scared of what she might find of those she was here to save.<br /><br />She noticed the opening from the truck the first time the boys blasted threw the kitchen, she stepped in and looked around nothing, she listened watching for anything to move, she would of shot a rat if it had moved. Then she heard it, a male scream outside, it was out back, she went out the way she came in and hobbled around to the back of the building. She could see the overgrown grass harboring a huge garage behind the delapodated house. She moved towards it watching all angles keeping the shotgun up and ready to fire. As she rounded the doorways blocking her view, she saw something she never will ever forget, bodys hanging everywhere, some in the worst shape you could ever imagine. Hanging on a hook was her beloved James he was struggling as he hung there sideways his shoulder gouged into a meat hook like a side of beef. She tried to breath, it wasnt there, she tried to speak it wasnt there, she tried to pull the gun up and hold it steady, it wasnt there.<br /><br />"Fuck...." Escaped her lips in a hushed whisper. The creatures were gone and humans were once again walking below the bodys, not one of the three had noticed her standing there in broad daylight staring at them with a gun.<br /><br />James saw her, but he could not speak they stared at eachother, as the huge man put a pinching clip of some sort to his skin James cried out in pain but before anyone could do anything the man ripped the skin from James body, exposing his muscle and there the skin dangled from his waist. Jamie almost fainted, her body was reeling and she stumbled backwards. Then seeing James pass out, she was even more determined. She moved foreard on that hurt leg and she did not warn them she full out shot the bigest man there full shot taking him out as he slumped over. The next man came at her, she felt hot flash hit her, she closed her eyes and squeezed off the next round. It blew off the mans arm but he kept coming, she screamed as she tried to block him, he hit her full run and took her down to her back. She felt sick as she tried to get the pistal. Suddenly she heard the police cars wailing and the man jumped up from her and she thought it was over but he grabbed her and punched her in the face.<br /><br />James woke in great pain his body hurting in ways he never knew possible but just before they disapeared he saw Jamie on the shoulder of a one armed man. He tried to cry out, but there was nothing he could do or speak. Then he suddenly heard his mothers screams, as he opened his eyes, he could see her with his father. He tried to speak but still he could not. Instantly the policemen were on eachothers backs trying to get him down with out anymore undo harm.<br /><br />"The other boy is here Sheriff, he is alive!" He said from a hay filled corner. Derrick had a huge bloody wound upon his head, but he was slowly coming round.<br /><br />"They....went...into...the woods ... dad...jamie.....save her...she stopped them from ...killing us..." He pointed towards the back of the barn. As his Parents both looked in the direction.<br /><br />"Dont worry son the Police will handle it from here..."<br /><br />James knew that they were done for, he looked up at the house, it was so errie looking, he knew that his girl was gone if those creatures had anything to do with it. He couldnt move his arm, and he couldnt stand proper with most his skin ripped off.<br /><br />"Dad IF you don't save her after she saved my life Derricks and that girls life, I will never speak to you again. I love her damn it she is all that has saved us today they were ready to hack us into peices." He tried to yell but he was taken away on a streacher as the emts came to take them to a hospital.<br /><br />Jerrimiah Rice stared into the woods, as both his boys and his daughter were saved by this new girlfriend of James. How could he let her go and get killed he would never live with himself. He turned and grabbed the sheriff.<br /><br />"I say we go after them as a team, not seperate or else they can pick us off. IF we go together there will not be a force so strong." Jerrimiah the father of the rice family was a tall man with blonde hair but a rakish look to him, he was fearsome some would say others would say devishly handsome. His boys were the personification of their father, just georgous eyes to behold.<br /><br />"We have a special task force on the way they should be here any moment seeing I sent for them same time we came out." Sure enough as the sherrif Duke spoke the words the special unit showed up.<br /><br />"Sorry WE were on the other side of Portland and had to get threw traffic." The head man came up to shake hands with to whome was in charge.<br />"Sheriff Duke this is Jerrimiah Rice, father of the kids attacked. We have one small problem, two of these home boys took off with one of his sons girlfriends still alive threw the brush there.... we need to loacate them easily." He heard a cough they both looked up at Jerrimiah.<br /><br />"I hate to be a nusence, but that girl has no one, no family no one to care, her parents were killed and her sister was shot last year in Portland. IF we dong get going now she isnt going to last and I wont be the one to tell my son you couldnt rescue his lovely lady fast enough. Both men nodded and agreed it was time to move out and try to search her down.<br /><br />It had been most the day I was forced to walk, I thought mostly about the finger I lost to the creature walking behind me. I use the word creature cause I know that this THING that has begun to hack of pieces off my flesh is not a human. How can you do such things and be human. I quit crying hours ago, now all I could do was think about my sanity and my friends I loved and missed. And my huge fear of death that was to come, I almost wished it would be quick and not so much wishing I could get away, just a quick death please. I begged heavenly father for some kind of help, I prayed each step.<br /><br /><br />Jamie knew her path, it was leading to her death, she had to find a way to face it or run from it. The woods grew darker and thicker the farther they went into the mountains. How could she ever find her way out now, slowly she felt a thumping, then it got louder and louder. She was shoved to the ground as a chopper flew over head. Jamie knew they were looking for her, she was so happy to hear the blades flipping threw the air. She screamed but nothing came of that when the man like creature stomped upon her back. She felt and heard it pop in several places, she groaned and felt sick as she smelled the grass and moss in her nose. The chopper stopped and started to drop several members of military officers dressed all in green and black. The two creatures grabbed up Jamie and started to race threw the woods, as fast as they could go, Jamie felt like they were racing the wind. She finally got out a scream, it was all the team needed as the chopper raced off making it easy to hear again. They fanned out and raced off after her cause of the speed of her screams getting father and father away they knew the creatures were on the run and moving very fast. IT was going to take all they had to get to her and rescue her.<br /><br />"Evens, we are to stop those creatures, the girl is exspendible. WE can not afford to let them get away no matter what." Evens heard his captain remind him as they ran off in same direction yet different paths.<br /><br />"Yes sir!" He felt his gut hit the ground, he couldnt kill an innocent, he thought to himself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Suddenly Jamie felt her face hit a branch she started cussing as she realized the creature did it on purpose he wanted her to stop screaming. She grabbed onto his arm and bit down as hard as she could, she had one chance to live and that would be to get away from them and hope as hell the good guys would find her.<br /><br />The creature started to howl and dropped her, she rolled and hit the ground running in any direction she didnt care what way it was, she just wanted to be free, she wanted to see James, she wanted life. She ran for all she was worth, before long she was alone and nothing was chasing her, she hoped. She stopped and put her back to a tree, breathing as silently as her pounding chest would let her she sat down on some pine needles, she felt their sharp sting as they softly tore into her skin. Then she heard it, a mans blood curdling scream. The creatures had turned and started to take out those hunting them. She bit her lip, it was her fault these men would die, she felt a sense of anger welling up in side of her. She heard another males voice scream and shots going off, she would soon be alone again and unarmed. She felt the anger turn to desperate nature. She ran to where the first scream came from, she hoped she could find another man with a gun there. She almost stepped on the remains of the man, but she coverd her mouth, as she looked down to a body torn into five rather large chunks, blood sprayed the leaves and bushes. She turned to wretch when she saw another pair of eyes, staring at her. He motioned to her to look down, she saw a semi automatic weapon there, she grabbed it and pulled it up, he motioned for her to come to him, as she did they heard another man being killed off to their right. This man didnt speak, he showed her how to take off the safety and then pointed her in the direction behind him. He then looked at her, pointed at her eyes then out to the woods, she knew he meant for her to watch his back and the forest. He scanned the trees and pulled up his own weapon. IF they were basing this off of scent, the bloody smell of the fallen comrade would keep them well hidden. He even kept his eyes on the bushes praying they could stay alive long enough to get reenforcements. HE Hit his homing beacon, now that she was with him. Evens knew they would make it if they used their heads.<br /><br />Slowly there came a figure closer and closer, Evens felt his body go hot with fear, his head flashed panic and fear. Jamie couldnt see what he was seeing she was still calm. He could feel her back against his. He aimed at the figure coming closer, and closer..... he would have to shoot giving away their position to the other. He knew it would all go down fast if they were not careful.<br />He took aim, waited his blood pumping harder and harder, then he saw the figure had a dark hue, almost black and hairy, he knew it was not one of his own he knew it was one of the creatures, he waited till it got close enough to kill. But soon as he was ready to take the shot, he heard a muffled noise behind him he turned and there behind the girl they were sent to rescue was the other creature like humanoid. It was almost human like, but there were differences about its face, the eyes bore into him, he had no clear shot. The girl Jamie was in the way, he remembered what he was told that she was not the only reason they came, he could at this close range kill her and the creature turn and take the other out. Evans weighed this heavily in his mind when he finally felt another hand on his shoulder, his time was up, he had no other choice, but as he started to slowly grip the trigger to his gun, he was flung to the ground. IT seemed to happen in slow motion to him. His death would be swift he hoped and closed his eyes, but infact it never happened. He heard bullets flying he stayed on the ground and kept his eyes shut. Finally all the noise quit, it was silent again no birds no noise. He looked up, to see the figure that threw him to the ground starting to waver like a falling tree. Slowly it fell over gurgling up a bile like substance from its mouth. Evans sat up, he could see the other falling over as well. Standing near a tree with her back to it, Jamie stood wide eyed and scared. She had shot them both down, she taken the steps to secure their future life. She had done what many other men could not, he suspected, the creatures saw her more as food than a threat. Slowly Evans got to his feet and walked to her, taking the gun from her shaking hands.<br /><br />"Are there any more?" He asked in a small hushed whisper, as she shook her head. He moved to his com unit, "This is Evans come in puma unit? Anyone else out there?" There was silence, he knew the grim fact that they were indeed the last to survive. He switched the signal to a new station.<br />"This is Puma unit, Targets have been taken out, The kitten is safe, request exstraction." Evans waited as he heard the chopper pilot give them quardiants for exstraction, a clear field not far, from their present position. Jamie was covered in dirt and mud and blood, Evans Wondered what she looked like on a normal day. He handed her a small tissue pack to clean up the wound on her hand, then he noticed two of her fingers were chopped off. He cringed inside for a moment, they had inteneded to eat her. He had heard the tales of the mission but it was different to see it in real life. He looked down at her, and moved her to her feet.<br /><br />"Lets go, the are going to pick us up at another location, we need to go and fast." Evans didnt want to see her loose any more blood and wanted to get the hell out of this forest. He moved to each beacon unit before leaving the area, checking each fallen member of his team, there was no need to see if there was a pulse, most men were torn to shreds where their intestions and stomachs were lying on the ground exposed to open air. They were definately dead, he pulled her along and headed for the evac unit site. THEY would have to come back for the remains. He took out his tag marker and stuck it to a tree, marking the site, he turned and pulled Jamie along, who seemed to be in a catatonic state, walking but staring ahead in fear.<br /><br /><br />Soon they were at the site, waiting for the chopper, Jamie felt a bit worried being in the open like this, but then again she was a bit more jumpy now. Slowly they turned as they heard the chopper. Jamie smiled thinking of James she prayed he was alright, she hoped her actions had saved his life. She didnt care about much other than getting home and back to him. Just then Evans saw it, same time Jamie did, the chopper set down but on the other side of it, they could see creatures coming from the dark of the tree line. Evans ran yanking Jamie with him, they had to go and fast. THERE were at least six more of those things, Jamie dove into the chopper as Evans screached for the pilot to take off. Immeadiately in the air, they prayed they were safe as the creatures watched them take off. Jamie began to cry as she watched the things that terrified her so greatly staring up at her getting smaller and smaller. She was glad they did not pursue them, she knew someday they might, but today she was going to get away. Evans marked the site and grabbed his camera and quickly took a picture of the remaining six. He knew hard proof spoke better than speculation, and these creatures were a danger to the human life on the planet. He turned back to the pilot,<br /><br />"Get us back to the base of operations, this is the single worst thing to happen to the colonys since the virus outbreak on Earth 1. THIS MUST be reported, I think the indiginous lifeforms are starting to fight back. New Earth is in danger of having its population killed." Evans looked down at the young girl, so much of her life was never going to be normal again. THEY had tried so hard to make New Earth like Earth one, they never thought to keep those new humans safe from the original lifeforms who already inhabited the planet. Jamie, closed her eyes, praying this incident was over, she breathed deeply as she heard Evans gun go off and sensors start to beep in alarm.<br /><br />"OH MY GOD, THEY ARE ATTACKING US IN THE AIR!" Was all she could hear, as her hair was wretched from the floor pulling her to face another bat like face again.<br /><br />"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"<br /><br />the end <br /><br /><br />JOEIEBURNS ART<br />Jburnstudios,<br /><br />IMPORTANT © COPYRIGHT NOTICE<br />The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted<br />©1995-2010 Jburnstudios.

The road starts south of the castle, surrounded by trees.  It then proceeds north and uphill until it&#039;s due west of the foundations before turning west.  In the foreground is the corner where the road turns west.  It proceeds for about 100 feet before taking a long, slow, 270 degree right turn.  It proceeds back south for about 50 feet before making a tight 180 degree left turn right at the base of the foundation.  That is where tourists exit the castle.  To enter though, one must continue uphill, around a 180-degree right turn to the grand entrance on the north side of the complex. ]]></media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs41/150/i/2009/014/9/9/Neuschwanstein_from_the_Side_by_HerrDrayer.jpg" height="150" width="100"/>            <media:thumbnail url="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs41/300W/i/2009/014/9/9/Neuschwanstein_from_the_Side_by_HerrDrayer.jpg" height="450" width="300"/>            <media:content url="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs41/i/2009/014/9/9/Neuschwanstein_from_the_Side_by_HerrDrayer.jpg" height="900" width="600" medium="image"/>            
            <description><![CDATA[ Farther up the road, one starts to get glimpses of the castle from different perspectives.  The road starts south of the castle, surrounded by trees.  It then proceeds north and uphill until it&#039;s due west of the foundations before turning west.  In the foreground is the corner where the road turns west.  It proceeds for about 100 feet before taking a long, slow, 270 degree right turn.
