Connections from The Past.

Vikady here, currently we're on the move, our next stop? Indiana.

Let me clear things up, any of you remember Daniel O'Connor? Why there?

All of you know Incognito's story by now, see when I started this adventure, I started researching as many blogs as I could find, once I found out that Daniel O'Connor was from Indiana, there was something nagging at my memory, one small detail that I couldn't put my finger on, so I just moved it aside.

Then I started reading Zeke Strahm's blog, the name Fisk popped up, again a familiar feeling, but I just couldn't get myself to remember.

All it took was Incognito's re-telling of his past to make me piece all the puzzle pieces together.

Incognito doesn't know this, so he will be reading this for the first time, here we go.

This goes way back, back to the day of Incognito's family's murder, The Priest gets convicted, Incognito wasn't allowed to interfere with the case, I was, so I asked questions here and there, this was before I was arrested.

The people that questioned the priest, said that he was spewing some nonsense in a language that was not of this world. By the end of the day they just signed him off as insane and locked him up. Couple of months later, our agency gets a message, from FBI, to be more precise from an individual named Fisk. The message was that we transfer The Priest to him, seeing as we had no use for the guy, we had no problem with that, we didn't even question why they would want him, but when we came back to his cell to transfer him, he was dead, his stomach cut wide open. We ruled it as suicide, since no one could get inside the cell.

We were able to identify the man, his name isn't important, what is important however is that he was from Indiana. Seems like too many coincidences don't you think?

Now thanks to Zeke Strahm's posts, it is obvious that somewhere in Indiana there is a town full of cultists that worship Slendy, remember that right?

Now get this, the priest was born in Milltown, a town very known for a location called Devils Mountain, read up if you want.

Too many coincidences if you ask me, Incognito doesn't know that we are currently headed there, but we are, it is obvious that Incognito encountered Slendy, it was no coincidence, there was a connection before Incognito got attacked by Slendy.

There has to be something in that town, or in that mountain.

Vikady out.

The Path Part 11: Memories that were destroyed.

Report #95 2013, September 14th.

The last post, about my family, that was what happened on the next turn that I took, the memories of them, of how happy we were, it hurt, for many years I finally felt pain. A bullet wound, a knife stab, any physical pain, it's nothing, it isn't pain, it's just a feeling that lets you know that you're body is still alive. Memories like this, that's the true pain.

At the end of this road, once again I ended up at the crossroads, I went down all the roads, except the road that was labeled as the "Right" road. Having nowhere to go, I started walking down that road.

...

IT was there, after what seemed like hours of walking, IT was there, I gripped my Ax tighter, standing in the middle, I stared at it and after a few minutes IT spread IT's arms making the sun light behind it shine into my eyes, making me cover them up. Once IT put IT's arms down, the Sun light was blocked again and I could open my eyes again.

It stopped, I swear it stopped, my heart, it just stopped, there were tears on my cheeks, tears that weren't cried ever since the day when Kristina and Mashutka.....

They... They were running towards me... Kristine and Masha, both of them running towards me, I was like a statue, stood still, I couldn't believe it, that feeling, it's...it's indescribable. I just stood there and prayed that it would be an illusion.

And that moment, when... when both of them hugged me, Kristine wrapping her arms around me and Mashutka...hugging my leg, it was them, it was really them, the smell, the feeling, they were not an illusion., they were real. For the first time, I felt fear, fear of them being afraid of me, of them accusing me, of them seeing me as a monster. But they...

"There you are."

This...

"Daddy, where were you?"

Is...

"You're mom called, she invited all of us over."

Paradise....

"Daddy, Serezha said he wants to be friends."

I...

"We Missed you."

Can...

"Me and Mommy missed you."

Stay...

"Come back to us."


And I saw IT, watching this scene, spreading IT's arms, IT was watching, observing. I started shaking, I wasn't hugging them, they were hugging me, my fear, slowly turning to hatred, hatred for IT, for bringing them back.

That's when my hand that held the Axe started shaking more and then...............

I killed them.....again.

The same way they had died before, I tried to do it as painlessly as possible, the look of terror in Masha's eyes, the same as it was all those years ago.

Hatred taken over, I saw IT and I felt IT, for the first time I actually felt IT and IT was.... IT wasn't shocked, IT wasn't fascinated, IT was....scared? Something similar to that feeling.

That's when I started running at IT, IT was sending IT's tendrils my way, some of them were able to scratch me, but that didn't slow me down, I didn't feel pain, I didn't care, all I wanted was to drive this Axe, with my Family's blood on it, into IT's head.

IT wasn't really attacking, I saw IT attack before, it was more like IT was trying to defend.

I was able to chop off a couple of tentacles as I was running at IT, once I got close to IT, I lunged at IT, trying to drive my Axe into IT's head, but that is when I was cut short. While I was in mid-air IT was able to wrap one of IT's tendrils around my neck.

IT brought me in closer to IT's face, the feeling of.....fear? Has disappeared, IT felt like IT was in control again, I was biting, struggling against the tendril, but no use, but I seized one opportunity, once it brought me closer to IT's head, I was able to gather my last strength and head butt IT as hard as I could. It was liked I just hit a brick wall, yet it didn't hurt, couple of seconds later I felt it, something warm running down my face from my forehead, but when I opened my eyes, I wasn't the only one bleeding, IT had some black substance running down IT's forehead, it wasn't Azoth, or maybe it was, but it felt differently, it was a lot more....liquid.

So there I am, being slowly choked to death and I don't think about anything, I'm not there, I'm not feeling anything, I didn't care that I was dying, I didn't care about anything really, I was just a blank.

And then she interfered, the woman, the pale woman, out of nowhere she was able to grab me and I was out of there, on top of my Van.

The rest went as followed.

That was it.

Truth.

Report #94 2013, September 12th.

We are currently at Vikady's trustworthy source, the guy calls himself The Fascist, he's hideout is full of svasticas and so on. While I find he's hobbies rather questionable, he has some good equipment and currently he is not only repairing our Van, he is also giving us some extra weapons.

While I have some free time, I would like to reveal my identity and everything about me. I need to remember this information and if I ever forget it, I won't have the motivation to move on. I also need to explain this, because if I further want to explain my time inside The Path, I need to explain this first.

I'm going to make this as short as possible, I don't like talking about this.

My name is not important, for those of you who have the time to look it up, be my guest.

I'm an Ex-KGB agent that is the truth, but I left out a very important detail, I am also an Ex-Husband and Father.

Used to be married to a woman named Kristine and had a little girl named Masha. Kristine was a very nice woman, I was lucky to ever meet her....

She was a Christian and basically she made me and Mashenka go to a church every sunday, she would always go inside the confession booth and confess her sins, I didn't do it, I just stood in the hall with Masha, waiting for her. I wasn't really a believer so I didn't waste my time doing that, Kristine would always make fun of me, of being afraid of confessing...

Once Mashenka grew a little older, Kristine asked her to do these confession sessions...

And one of these Sunday's... Kristine took Mashenka towards the booth, Kristine stood outside waiting for Mashenka to finish and Mashenka was outside, while I was in the hall as always....

It all happened in a second...

The sick fuck, the priest that was on the other side of the Booth, ran out swinging he's axe left and right, yelling something, in some languge...

My wife was in he's way, the sound of that axe going against her skull, my fucking god....

Next one was Mashenka, he had no fucking remorse, he....no...

I was too far away to stop him, my combat instinct kicked in, I was able to knock him out and take his axe away and only a couple of seconds later, my father instinct kicked in.

Looking at them, seeing them that way, I still remember holding both of their dead corpses, feeling their blood rush down my hands, their lifeless eyes starring up at me.

I sat there for an hour, with them in my hands, police tried to separate me from them, but as soon as they tried to pull me away I knocked them back. Somehow they were able to separate me from them and then I saw him, I saw that fucking psycho, I still remember that feeling, I wanted nothing to rip hes throat out,  but to he's luck the police pulled me away.

And after that I slowly stopped feeling anything, I didn't care about anything, except one thing, one thing kept clawing at my brain. If I was ready, if I was just an inch closer, I would be able to stop their death at the hands of that psycho, that sick fuck, that criminal.

And that's when I snapped, I started seeing things I never payed attention to before, I was happy, I didn't need to see other people's despairs. I saw the world around me differently, people were being killed left and right, women, children, everyone.

That's when I started killing those who deserved it.

God....

Report #94 Ended.

Deleting.

Report #93 2013, September 2nd.

We finally arrived to one of our sources, they are patching up our Van and supplying me and Vikady with some weaponry.

Now what had happened, I lost control, Kelevra injected me with Azoth, at first I didn't know what was going on with me, me not getting tired. Didn't take long for me to realize that it was something that Kelevra had done when he injected me with that water.

Few weeks later, it starts to hurt, I may not have showed it, but I was hurting on the inside, like something was ripping me apart from the inside, slowly. For the time being, I was subduing it, but that night, it was able to break free and make me attack those who worked with me.

I told Mendella, to kill me if something like this were to happen, to not hesitate, I knew I could trust him with that task, because he was just like me, at least, that's what I thought. When I was standing there, with a blank expression, in a trance, Mendella had a chance to take me out, yet he hesitated, he didn't do it and that's where we're different, I wouldn't have hesitated, I would have taken the shot.

And that is exactly what I told him, I told him that I was wrong about him, that we were not the same, that we are nothing alike. He simply nodded in agreement and left, I don't know where he is, what he is doing, I have no connection with him and right now, I am deleting all our old connections and replacing them with new ones. Now, Mendella is out of this operation, he is on his own and I have no idea if we will ever meet again, but I highly doubt it.

Now it's just me and Vikady and quite frankly, I wish it was only me, but I need Vikady, he says he stumbled upon some information, but he needs to confirm all the facts about it and only then will he tell me what it's about.

Now, I'm just like those other freaks, at least I was, until Vikady murmured that one Name, something snapped in me, I woke up and I saw what kind of a mess my mind was with that thing slowly taking it over. That Azoth, it craved destruction, I could feel it, and that makes sense, since it's a piece of Kelevra's Azoth. It tried to take over my mind and use my body as a mindless puppet, well too bad, I'm stubborn.

When I was in that trance, it was like I was dreaming, only I wasn't. It was like I was in the army again and something was stalking me. It wanted me for it's own, wanted me to be it's body, it's hands, it's weapon of destruction. And then Vikady said it, something that made me remember who I was and I was in control now. And I knew exactly on how to stop that thing, it was very simple, either it obeys my every order, or I kill it, by killing myself. I could feel it, reading my mind, trying to tell if I was lying, or not. If I killed myself, that thing would have died along with me, because it was still too weak to survive on it's own, I could feel it.

And it could feel that I was being serious, why wouldn't I be? I have nothing to lose, living in this world, is exactly the same like hell, which is where I'm going after I die, so there really is no difference for me to either live, or die. It felt that, it knew I was serious and it obeyed, now I have control over it and sure as hell I will use it.

Just like those other freaks? No, I was already a monster, nothing's changed, I'm still the same as I was, the only difference? Is that I have something that will help me kill more.

Take Over.

Well, we're back, honestly I don't see the reason of this post, since it has already been posted by Sanna, but Incognito insists that I update. Something about him wanting to remember this, if he ever loses he's memory.

It was the middle of the night, me and Mendella, we were sleeping. That changed rather quickly when we heard a girls scream. Mendella's reflexes are as sharp as Incognito's, he jumped outside and started running toward the source of the scream, I myself, I started looking around.

I saw that Incognito was not inside the car so I started asking myself "Hey, where is-"

I was quickly cut short when I turned toward the side where Mendella was running off to, I couldn't quite make it out, but there was one of these creatures who have tentacles sticking out of their backs, running after Sanna and Mendella. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw him, Incognito was that creature and he was chasing after Mendella and Sanna.

Mendella signaled me to throw him a shotgun, knowing what we were up against I thought it was a stupid idea to fight back. Mendella agreed, yet he stood his ground, ready to take on Incognito, I guess he was planning on sacrificing himself, in order to give me and Sanna a chance to get away.

He was shooting at Incognito, but those damn tentacles were twirling his body so fast from side to side, it was impossible for Mendella to hit him with a shotgun. And that's when Incognito got close enough and wrapped one of he's tentacles around Mendella's throat. Mendella didn't give up, he started stabbing the Tentacles with his battle knife, but it was pointless.

So I scramble towards the steering wheel, with Sanna scrambling to the second seat. She grabbed my arm, yelling at me "Are you for fucking real!? You can't just leave him...". I'm many things, I'm a guy who has innocent people on my body count, I'm an asshole, quite frankly I'm a criminal, but I'm not a traitor, if I say I'm going to help someone, I'll damn stick with that word. So I brush her hand off of me, yelling out quite pissed off "Calm The Fuck Down!".

I start the engine and turn around, I have a full intent in running Incognito down, made sure Mendella wasn't near the Var to get hit along with Incognito. Knew it wouldn't work, Incognito jumped onto the hood of the car and broke the windshield, grabbing the steering wheel, he's fucking grip, so strong. Not seeing where I was driving, the best option was for me to hit the breaks, so I did, the momentum made Incognito fall back, but he ended up ripping the steering wheel off.

Sanna was tucking my arm, to start running, had to arm myself before doing that, so I did, grabbed the nearest AK-47 and ran with her. As we ran, I looked back and saw Incognito standing on top of the Van, slowly walking towards the me and Sanna.

We were running until Sanna stopped, I turned to see why she had stopped and saw another similar creature to Incognito, only this guy was way more uglier. So we were sandwiched, both of them were walking towards us from both sides. Upon them getting closer, I told Sanna to prepare to run like hell, I was planning on staying and taking their time, to give her a chance to run away.

Once Incognito pounced, I was ready to open fire, but I stopped, when I saw that he wasn't aiming for us, he jumped over us and went for the other guy. They were fighting each other, the sounds they made, were inhuman. That's when Sanna tucked my arm again, to run, so I did, we ran towards the Van, when I told her "We need to get Mendella."

So we turn and run to where he was laying unconscious from the choking that Incognito gave him. I grab him under he's shoulders and start dragging him, he was heavy, there was no way I could run with him.

"Do you know how to wake up someone unconscious."

I did, but I had no such supply with me, so I drag him toward the Van and lean him over the side and I told Sanna that she had to get away from here.

"You absolutely sure?"

Yes I was absolutely sure, I wasn't going to let all of us be killed, it would be better if at least one of us survived. So I go back trying to assemble the Maxim Gun, gladly Sanna didn't argue and started running, I couldn't see what had happened to the other freak since I was busy assembling the Maxim Gun, but as soon as I was done, I saw Incognito running at me.

So I take my aim and start shooting, to my surprise, Incognito's tentacles lifted him in the air, out of the Maxim Gun's range and I couldn't hit him. He landed on top of the Van's roof and wrapped a tentacle around my neck, those damn things, they are so cold, that they actually burn. On top of that he was choking me, slowly.

To make it even worse, he started running after Sanna, while dragging me along the way like a rag doll. All I could do was struggle and try to slow him down, but it didn't work, he caught up with her, wrapped one of he's tentacles around her leg and lifted her in the air, on the level of he's face.

I...had no other choice...I had to remind him...so with enormous amount of effort, I was able to cough out a name...and he stopped.

All movement seized and it was like that for good two minutes.

And suddenly, he let go of me, I fell on the ground clutching my neck, it hurt like hell. I could barely hear some animal like grunting and roaring, but mostly I was concentrated on my pain.

"The fuck! Are you alright!?"

My eyes were closed from the pain, so that is all I could hear, so I asked her what was going on.

"He's...kinda...out of it. Like not really aware."

After that I asked her to help me up, when she did, I could see Incognito just standing there, no tentacles, no nothing, he was just starring into nothingness, he didn't even flinch. And suddenly, out of nowhere Mendella came in and aimed a shotgun pointed at Incognito's head, ready to shoot him.

"No!"

As soon as she yelled that out, I jumped out from under her arm and knocked the Shotgun out of his hands and fell flat on the ground. I wasn't going to let him kill Incognito, he stopped, he was still there, he was still him.

Mendella had an angry look in his eyes, he looked at me, then at Sanna. Quickly Sanna snatched the shotgun from the ground, unloaded it and threw it along with the bullets into the field. She agreed with me, Mendella however, was still thinking about it, looking from me to Sanna. And then he helped me up, agreeing with us and so we waited,for Incognito to wake up.

And when he did, he whispered out "It's over."

"You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"

Concerned Sanna asked, Incognito just answered "No." then he immediately turned to Mendella "Why didn't you kill me?" he asked in a demanding voice. Mendella got that angry look back on his face and went face to face with Incognito.

"You had to kill me."

Realizing that this wasn't going to be pretty, I told Sanna that we had to leave them. Just before we left "We all wanted you to live. You might say we care, that we're kind of human. So fucking sue us."

I understand her, not everybody is like him, but that is why he prefers working alone, because he knows that not everyone see's the world like he does. To be quite frank, he's alone, even when he is surrounded by people, he alone and he enjoys it like that, the only reason I'm still with him is because I am of use to him. just like Mendella was.

Why "was"? Well apparently after they're talk, Mendella left and I understand why, yet I don't know the conversation they had, Incognito said he will post about it himself.

"Did he say where he was going?"

"No, didn't say anything, like always. Listen, I'm sorry, but I think you're going to have to leave us from now on, it is too dangerous for you to be with me, or for anyone, for that matter.We will drop you off in [the nearest town], give you some money, enough for you to survive for the next couple of months, you can also take all the weapons we have given you, in the course of your training. I'm sorry."

Sanna understood, gave me and Incognito a hug, that happened too fast, I didn't even expect it.

And then we dropped her off.

So now, it is just me and Incognito, currently we are going to a good friend of mine, to repair our Van and supply us with some weaponry.

He told me he has control over it, quite frankly I don't care, I wanted to participate in this, I willingly jumped into this game and hell I'll stay in it,for as long as I can.

Vikady out.
