Reckoning

"Once we get Roy, it's over! Victory will be ours!"

"Stan can you shut up for once, I'm starving here."

"That's your problem, Larry. That's why your sales are always below quota. Your instinct to eat is stronger than your instinct to win."

"Please shut up."

Two buisness men were currently peeking their heads out of a bush. The two were covered in camo colored clothing and had camo paint all over thier face, which made them look unatural. The two were surveying the area around them, holding handguns and wearing goggles. 

"You become a whole other person when you're out here Stan, where does all this energy come from anyways?"

"This is a man's game. Requiring a man's cunning and intelligence..."

"Your wife wishes you were this intelligent..."

"Hey what did you say?"

Before Larry could answer, a figure suddenly popped out behind them, firing two shots at them. Larry and Stan could only scream out in horror as red paint covered them. 

"...And a womens touch."

The duo looked at the newcomer in shock.

"Katie? I thought Burt got you already?"

"You see any paint..."

"...Sorry, guys, I did in Mr.Commando. Survival is the name of the game, and that flag is mine."

The duo only at her for a moment before dejectedly walking away.

"Never should have let her played."

"Stan it's a company exec game. She's a company exec."

"Now, now. No need to be sore losers boys..."

"Not helping Katie."

While the trio were talking, they were completely unaware of the danger lurking nearby. A dark figure moved silently through the trees, its hulking frame almost blending with the shadows.

Jason was coming.

<POV change>

"I'm worried..."

A group of 4 was busy carrying food supplies to a beautiful cabin right next to a lake.

"About Jason?"

"No...about Darren and Lizbeth. They should have at least called. Don't you think, Megan?... Megan."

"Huh? Yeah what?"

Breaking out of her daze, Megan saw all of her friends looking at her weirdly. Her friend Sissy walked up to her, nudging her arm. 

"This girl is back in the cell with her prisoner of love."

Megan hit her back playfullying.

"What's it to ya?"

"Don't be playin' with no crazy jailbird. Those dudes are bad news."

"Yeah? How would you know?"

"I've been around long enough to see plenty on TV."

The remaining two friends, Paula and Cort, walked over to them looking a bit concerned. 

"I don't know, Megan. He seemed pretty weird with all that Jason stuff."

"Yeah, he was really into it."

Megan suddenly got a bright idea, perfect to mess with her friends. As they got to the cabin, she grinned knowing just how to tease them.

"Maybe they were telling the truth."

Everyone stopped and stared at her like she was crazy.

"Sure our parents say he's gone, but what if he did come back here?"

"That's already scary, but you want to know what's even more scary?"

She pointed behind her as a yellow bus pulled up right in front of the camp. Loud screams and laughter could be heard from the bus. The doors birsted opened, as a swarm of kids came out.

"That."

<POV change>

Katie, Stan and Larry were currently walking through the forest. It had been over a hour since they gotten the flag and were trying to find the rest of the players to end the game. Katie had been yelling for the entirity of that hour.

"Come on guys, the game is over!"

Slowing his pace to match his friends, Larry tried to with Stan about th strangeness of the forest.

"Stan doens't something feel wrong?"

"Yeah maybe, but the game's not over until it's over. Besides, doesn't the scilence feel nice?"

"Katie why did you stop?"

Katie had abrutly stopped, looking around as if she heard something. The trio suddenly froze up, trying to listen to what Katie thought she heard. After a minute the trio relaxed. Stan gave Katie a annoyed look as he started to walk again

Jeez Katie, don't do that again! You know my heart can't deal with situations like that. 

Katie didn't respond, she only looked around again. 

"But I could have sworn I heard a-"

Before they could even react, a massive figure suddenly appared in front of them, holding a severly managled body in it's hand. A machete was sticking out of the head of the body.

"W-what!...."

All 3 looked up in horror as they saw who the figure was holding in it's bloodied hands.

Jason tossed the body aside, staring at the trio before ripping the machete out of the head. Staring at his new victims, he slowly crouched down as the trio was frozen in place.

"Oh my god..."

Larry choked out, his voice barely a whisper of disbelief. Stan's legs trembled as he took a step back, his mind struggling to process the gruesome scene before him.

"Burt... he's..."

Katie's instincts kicked in, and she raised her paintball gun at Jason, her hands shaking.

"Stay back! We don't want any trouble!"

If they could see Jason face, they would have been surpised to see him looking at them with deadpanned expression. 

"Let's get out of here!"

They turned to flee, but Jason moved with unnatural speed, blocking their path instantly. Katie fired a shot, the paintball landing harmlessly off Jason's chest. 

Touching the red paint on his shirt, Jason looked at Katie like she was stupid.

"Ru-!"

Jason whipped his machete, a almost invisble slash of air shot out. Before the trio could even react, all 3 of their heads ripped apart in a spew of blood and brain as the air slash hit them. The bodies landed on th ground with quiet thuds as Jason walked over. Punching holes through their chests to grab their still fresh hearts, lifting his mask to reveal almost sickening sight. His zombie like face opened up like a door, showing massive rows of teeth.

Jason put all 3 of the hearts into his 'mouth', chewing them as if they were a nice steak. Putting his mask back on, Jason looked over at the bodies one more time before walking away into the forest.

What Jason failed to sense was a small man terrifed beyond belief hiding only a few yards away from Jasons brutal killing. Seeing Jason walk away, Roy slummped to the ground, holding his head as he softly cried.

"Oh dear god..."

<POV change>

"Tommy whatever you thinking, please don't do it."

Currently, me and Tommy were driving down the road. The sherrif and his deputy were right behind us in their car.

"But August, I can prove that Jason is alive if I just show them his empty grave!"

"..."

'Tommy what the fuck is that logic.'

I stared at Tommy like he was a idiot. 

"I saw him, August. I saw Jason Voorhees. He's real, and he's out there."

I let out as deep sigh as I reconsidered if I should have just gone around the forest and hunted Jason myself. I know he was going through it but his intelligence is taking a hit right now.

"Tommy, think about it,"

I tried to reason with him as calmly as I could while keeping an eye on the sheriff's car in front.

"Tommy, digging up Jason's grave last night doesn't prove anything now. It's the middle of the afternoon. If Jason had been missing from his grave, someone would have noticed by now."

Tommy's grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white. Seeing this I knew I was on the right track.

"Even if there was a missing body in Jasons grave, people aren't just going to believe Jaso magically rose up from the dead. They'll think someone stole his body."

"But I saw him, August. I saw Jason Voorhees. He's real, and he's out there."

The sheriff's car remained in front of us, it wouldn't take a genius to know what would happen if Tommy went through with his little plan of going to the cemetary. BLAM! Right at our chests.

"Tommy, listen to me,"

"We need to think this through. Right now, the sheriff is following us. If we do anything rash, we'll only make things worse."

Tommy glanced at me, he was scared still but he desperately wanted to do something about it. 

"What if he comes after us, August? What if he comes after everyone?"

"We'll figure this out, Tommy. But right now, we need to focus on getting to where the sheriff wants us."

Tommy stayed silent as the sheriff pulled over, signaling for us to follow. The sheriff walked over to Tommy.

"Can't believe they let you out of that damn psycho hut,"

"If I ever see you or your friend here again, you can guarentee a very 'warm' welcome."

As the sheriff left, Tommy slammed his hands onto the steering wheel. 

"What do we do now, August?"

I looked at Tommy, only giving him a small smile as I patted his shoulder.

"Well Tommy, I think you know where we should go now."

He looked at me like I was crazy.

"You don't mean Jason would-"

"Exactly, he would be back on his home turf,"

"Camp crystal lake."

(A/N: Yeah first chap back isn't exactly the most interesting. Lot of fluff to build up to the first confrontion with Jason at the camp. Just bare with it a little bit longer dear readers)
