Milltown

Report #96 2013, October 12th.

We arrived at our point of destination, looking at the town, you can't really tell that all the people, all the kids you see outside, worship that monster.

I never suspected that my first ever run in with IT was no mere coincidence, I was targeted, figures.

The thing inside of me, has been craving blood, wanted to get out and go on a rampage, this thing is blood thirsty, but it doesn't disobey, because it knows what can happen. Speaking of it, I figured out where the mass of goes inside the human body. While it is true that it is connected to the brain, most of it resides under your ribs.

For the past couple of days, I was trying to control it, to use it as a weapon, in other words, training. Whenever I would summon those tendrils to stick out of my back, my rib cage shrunk, as if a lot of mass was coming out of it and whenever I would call those tendrils back into my body, it felt like my rib cage was getting filled again, at first it hurt, but you get used to pain.

As for this town, again, you would never suspect that it's a town dedicated to IT, but I know that behind all those happy faces, they are all watching us, cause we aren't from here, we are new here and they know that, they probably even know who we are, who knows how many of them track my blog. But they haven't made their move yet, waiting for something? I don't know, their mistake.

Currently we are looking for that cave, doubt we will find anything interesting there, but it is worth a look.

We're getting close to something, I can feel it, I don't like it.

Report #96 Ended.

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....

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.

Infiltration.

Report #92 2013, August 6th.

After we moved to a different town, me and Mendella spent our time searching for possible proxy bases in this town, we found only two of those.

One of them was a five story building, asked Vikady to hack and find any information about the building, told me it opened up only recently, no occupants were listed. Drove over there and saw lots of people inside, some with masks, didn't take a genius to understand that this whole building was filled with proxies.

Came back and we started preparing for infiltration, told Sanna that she will be coming with us, since splitting up now would be a bad idea, she didn't really object.

Fast forward to us driving up to the building. As I was driving, Mendella was preparing the weapons in the bag, Vikady was quiet in the back seat along with Sanna.

"OK, if I die here or something, I just wanted to say, thanks for absofuckinglutely everything."

It was obvious that she was nervous, her voice showed it. Vikady attempted to calm her down.

"Chill Saniok, you ain't going inside the base, you're going to be with me."

It was true, I wouldn't let her inside, too dangerous, she would be better off with Vikady, on a safe distance away from all the commotion.

"Never underestimate shit happening. How many proxies d'you reckon there will be?"

"I don't know, probably a good dozen, from what I could gather, the whole buildin' is littered with em' so should be no problem with civilians, hell, I think we might run into a few lawbreakers along the way, the street has records on it, in being the most stinkin' hole in this town."

"What, thieves and pickpockets or something? Or, uh - worse?"


"Dunno, didn' take a look at what those crimes exactly were."

We were getting close to our point of destination, so I decided to run over the plan.

"Get ready, we're getting close. Plan is simple, me and Mendella go in and clear the place out, Vikady gives us cover from the neighbour rooftop, Sanna you go with Vikady because it's safer."

"Alright. Be careful."

"Careful would be, me being dead." Honest truth.

After that a couple of minutes of driving, and before we reached the base, I stopped near the neighboring seven story building, that is where Vikady and Sanna were getting off.

"This is where you get off." I told Sanna.

"Protect her, got it? No matter what, do not split apart." I told Vikady.

With that, they got off and started climbing to the roof of the building. Me and Mendella proceeded to drive towards the proxy base. We stopped near the entrance, Mendella got out a M-14 for himself and an AK-47 for me, two Colt 45's for him and me, a battle knife for him and a machete for me. He also felt like grabbing two smoke grenades, I didn't. Another pair of equipment we took was the two radio's, one for me and one for Mendella, these radio's maintained connection with Vikady, we didn't use cell phones, their connection was not quite as secure as a radio's.

As we were sitting in the Van, ready with our gear, waiting for Vikady's signal, my radio started receiving a message from Vikady.

"You boys ready to party?"

I took the radio and answered.

"How many?"

"Somewhere about 40, or somethin' like that, some of 'em are on the first floor, so I'm gonna cause a distraction, so the first floor isn't too hard for ye. As soon as you hear my Sniper Rifle shot, ye move in."

"Got it."

With that, we waited a couple of seconds and then I could hear the sniper rifle shot being fired, you could hear through the walls that they were in panic, a lot of foot steps could be heard, it was time for me and Mendella to move in, as we did.

Mendella kicked open the door, and started laying down fire upon those who were standing in the hallway, wasn't too many of them, five guys in masks, I assumed that most ran upstairs to see what the commotion was all about. But even those five guys weren't that easy to take down, at least they had enough time to yell out for help, so a few more proxies would start running downstairs.

I positioned myself behind the stairs, Mendella positioned himself near the elevator, we were expecting guys running from both ways. Proxies started running down the stairs, so I opened fire on them, Mendella gave me some assistance, since the elevator wasn't too far from the stairs.

I noticed that the elevator started going down and warned Mendella to keep an eye out. Those proxies weren't as stupid as I thought, after about three of them got gunned down as they were running downstairs, they hid behind the stairs that were above me and started shooting at me, using the stairs as a cover.

Then suddenly my radio starts up and I hear Vikady yelling.

"Be careful, Saniok says there's some shit up with the elevator."

I see that the Elevator is getting near the first floor, and realize that Mendella didn't hear the radio, so without any warning I ran towards him, while proxies were still shooting and pushed him the fuck away from the elevator, which when finally reached the first floor, exploded.

Smoke came out of the elevator shaft, covering the first floor, gave us an advantage. We got on our feet rather quickly and saw silhouettes in the smoke, which meant that the proxies decided to come down the stairs and see what happened, so we opened fire on them.

With that, I suggested to Mendella that we should split up, he goes up the stairs and I go up the elevator shaft. Because of the explosion the elevator itself lost stability and fell further down the elevator shaft, so I used the wires to climb up.

The plan was for me to get all the way up to the fifth floor and from there on start mowing them down from behind, while Mendella was mowing down from the bottom up to me, while Vikady was sniping them through the windows, it was a three way attack, no way to avoid.

As I was climbing I was surprised at who I saw, climbing down the shaft were those things, those black, skeleton like creatures from The Path, was no time for me to wonder what they were doing in our world, I got my Machete out and as they got closer, started to slash away, using a gun in such a close range situation would be stupid.

Every hit was supposed to be precise, other wise they would stab me with their claws and that could be over for me right there, since I was barely hanging on, while trying to defend myself, but I managed. Their black liquid splashed all over my clothing.

After that I was able to climb up the fifth floor, pried open the elevator doors using my machete and let myself out. Proxies didn't expect to see me crawling out of the elevator shaft, their surprise bought me some time to find cover, which was one of the apartments.

They were shooting at the door way, it was obvious there was no way of me getting at least a single shot. Had to improvise, the apartment had no furniture, which is obvious, since there were no actual residents living in this building, so I had to find another way.

Opened the window, climbed outside, started crawling towards the next apartments balcony that was closer to the proxies that were still guarding my cover. Once again, they didn't expect me to come out of the apartment that was right next to them, decided to save some ammo, since they were really close tome, I just used my machete to put all of them down

As I was done, I saw Mendella coming up the stairs, just in time too, we thought it was all of them and were about to take our leave, but the elevator doors were kicked right inside the hallway in which we were and out of the elevator shaft came climbing this, guy with a mask on his face and about four tendrils sticking out of his back.

We didn't hesitate to open fire on the guy, but he was quicker, as soon as we drew our guns on him, he just smacked them right out of our hands with one of his tendrils. Me and Mendella rolled over in opposite directions, so he would have to defend himself from both sides.

But that plan quickly went south, since Mendella was out of ammo on his Colt. 45, he drew his battle knife out and started running at the guy, I however still had ammo in my Colt. so instead of my machete, I drew my Colt out and was about to fire at the guy, but one of the guy's tendrils wrapped around Mendella's hand and threw him at me, making me drop my Colt, I think Mendella hit my knee as both of us fell, because when I tried to get up, he was knocked unconscious.

This freak was about to pierce us with two of his tendrils, but I was able to roll myself and Mendella out of the way, those two tendrils went right through the ground. There wasn't enough space to fight that freak and Mendella was in danger. I had to somehow get the guy away from Mendella.

So once I was done rolling, I grabbed for my machete, got up as quickly as I could and pounced right at the guy, two of his tendrils were still retracting back to him so they were in no commission to stop my momentum, yet the other two, they flew right at me. Luckily I was fast enough to reach the ground and quickly roll towards the freak, I had a clear shot at him and I took it, stabbed him right in the stomach with my machete and thats when I was able to get a good look at the guy, his face, half of it was...Well half of his skin was just ripped and hanging and under that skin wasn't a human being, under that skin was this dark, paler skin, so pale, that it was actually dark, covered in a mixture of blood and Azoth and a completely round, black eye, yet another half of his face, that wasn't ripped, looked like human. As if under his skin was one of these creatures from The Path.

Realizing that he wasn't dead yet, I pushed the Machete further in, in result pushing him, behind him was a window, so I decided to use that. Putting all my strength to it, I was able to push him so hard back, that he actually went crashing out the window outside.

That of course didn't kill the freak, I had to get to my Van, so I started running down the stairs, I had the thing's full attention, so it went after me instead of knocked out Mendella. As I was running down the stairs, those tendrils came piercing through walls trying to get me. I was somehow able to get outside safely, there I encountered that thing again, it was running in my direction, with it's tendrils coming after me, I had to run as fast as I could toward The Van, somehow I was able to outrun the thing and had enough time to grab at least one grenade from the back of The Van.

As I was getting out of The Van, a tendril wrapped around me and pulled me toward the freak, as I got closer, the grip got tighter, could feel my ribs cracking under the pressure. But despite all that, the fact that it was pulling me closer, was good, I got the pin out of my grenade and as soon as I got close to the thing, I showed the grenade down it's mouth, after that, kicked the machete that was inside it's stomach, resulting in that thing loosening it's grip on me and allowing me to get away.

I got as far as I could, before the thing blew up to pieces, saw chunks of it flying all over the place, I was actually able to see one of the tendrils hit the side of the building and as soon as it hit the ground, it just melted.

Didn't stay to examine the body, got upstairs again, along the way grabbing all the weapons we had dropped, got Mendella, loaded him back up inside the Van and drove toward the building where Vikady and Sanna were.

Apparently I drove up just in time, since they were just walking out of the building, told them to get in quickly, noticed that Vikady was injured. Asked questions after we drove away from there.
