3 months later October 17th 2020

It's been three months since Cross and David died I've finally worked-up the courage to clean-out his cabin. I opened the door and the first thing I saw was fern She got up and greeted me with delite. I scratched her head and began looking for David's things I soon found a small journal with a red and black cover that said my path on the front. In my curiosity I opened it on the inside was a map and a small note "Timothy every night when the sun fell I snuck out to see what I might find the map leads to a small village just east of us the house are still intact I hope you find good use for them" In my excitement I ran to get Jennifer who was laying underneath the large oak with a soft grassy patch underneath. When I got to her she looked up and asked what the hurry was I handed her the journal and waited for her response. She then stood up and asked if I had ever seen the small settlement "no but if it's true then we could have a safer place to stay rather than in these rickety cabins we made" she nodded in agreement "well lets fallow Davids path and see if he was telling the truth" she said hesitantly. I rushed to my cabin and grabbed the M1911 along with Davids Nine millimeter and handed it to Jennifer "do we really need-to Bring these I mean I know it's not very safe but there's already been to much death" she said with reason as she placed the gun on a small chair made from and old Tree log I had found. I gently placed the M1911 on the bed "I guess you're right let's leave them here for this trip" she smiled and kissed me affectionately "thanks Tim" She said with her pretty smile. We then headed east to were the map lead us we eventually seen a series of house in the distance. In our amazement David had told the truth. We moved closer to see that one of the houses was a small grey two story house with a large red vine growing up the side from a strange plant that I've never seen before. We moved closer slowly towards the houses. We heard a frightening screech behind us I turned quickly to see a creature standing on two legs its skin was stained red from blood its eyes orange Like fire. It had teeth-like razor blades its head looked as if it was the head of a skinned man and it had long skinny arms equipped with crab like pinchers made from bone. We ran towards the houses as quickly as possible with-the creature in pursuit. We barely made it to the front door but as-soon as we did I slammed the door shut behind us "what was that!!!" Jennifer said with a tear rolling down her cheek. I grabbed her and held her close then noticed the almost perfect furniture behind us. I let go of Jennifer to investigate there was a couch left side arm was torn there was also a coffee table that looked worn down and had-a thick layer of dust on it letting me know that know on-had used it for years. I moved towards the kitchen and noticed an old wooden door with faded white Paint. I Began to move down the stairs slowly due to the nasty rotten smell I then noticed the bodies in the far corner of the basement they looked like they'd been there awhile but not too long as the flesh was still their rotting away. I froze for awhile just staring at the bodies in horror. Their stomachs had been torn apart by some kind of creature their guts were just laying on the ground or what was left of them at least. Jennifer started to head down I quickly turned around "wait stop don't come any closer" I yelled "is everything alright Tim," she asked slowly I explained to her what was going on. She turned around and waited for me at the door I moved Back the stairs trying to hide my tears. I shut the door behind us and sat on the couch in The livingroom "we should stay here for the night just Incase whatever that was is still out their" I decided to go upstairs to make sure that the house was safe I told Jennifer to wait down stairs in case there was another surprise like the basement. As I crept up the stairs I noticed large cobwebs on the ceiling once again showing met that no one had been here for a-good amount of time except for the two people in the basement. When I reached the top There were two doors one closer to me and another at the end of a long Hallway. The door Nearest to me was open and was a small one bath bathroom I entered to see if there were any supplies in cabinet mirror. As soon as i opened it a small bottle of what Appeared to be rum fill out onto the ground Causing a small but noticeable thud "Tim are you alright what was that" Jenniffer asked from the bottom of the stairs "Oh yeah don't worry something just fell" I explained as I leaned over to pick it up. As I pecked the small bottle up I could see the label that read out Rubbing alcohol. I put it in my pocket as it could come in handy some time. I then moved towards the closed door at the end of the hallway. When I got to it I noticed a Sign that said Jason's room on it I slowly Began to open-it. As I opened the door It made a creek that sent a shiver up my back I soon noticed that the-room had canvases everywhere I looked around to see paintings on the wall covered in dust. I looked around a little more before finding an old blanket. I grabbed the blanket and went backdown stairs Where Jennifer had fallen asleep on the couch I covered her with the blanket and kissed her on the forehead before grabbing a small wooden chair to sit in to take watch for the night.
