4 Jack's Story

Jack was once a man with a happy life; he had a wife, a son and a beautiful home. Jack wasn't rich, but he had more than enough money for him to be happy and his job wasn't very hard either, he was able to work from home and take frequent breaks, out of all of his friends his job was considered the one they all wanted the most.

Jack lives near the countryside, one day as a family they decided to take a trip to the closest city and see what it's like in the city. The drive took about 1-2 hours and when they finally reached the city, they were very shocked. They looked at the city and the first thing they saw was… people. As Jack and his family were all countryside folk, he had never seen so many people this close together.

People stared at Jack and his family as every time they passed a building; their face almost looked like they had an explosion of surprise. Throughout that whole day, they did so much, went to many restaurants, shopping, and swimming and much more. They were very sad to be leaving but it was starting to get rather late and they decided to head home. Jack put his son in bed and got in the bed with his wife, they had a good day but days like these don't last forever.

Jack was awoken by a dragging noise, he couldn't tell what was going on but it was very early in the morning.

"Honey?" He whispered. Chomp, rip, and chomp. These are the sounds he heard he tried to squint his eyes open and he finally awoke his brain. 'What if an animal broke into our house?' He thought Jack instantly grabbed his gun; he always kept one next to him as the countryside he lived in was quite dangerous. He saw a trail of blood going towards his son's room.

"Oh no, oh no!" he repeatedly said. Jack got to his sons room and saw… his son and his wife but one a gaping hole inside of their stomach. Jack's son crouched down over his mother's body; Jack couldn't believe his eyes.

"K-Kenzi?" He said whilst slowly getting closer,

Kenzi turned around with blood surrounding his mouth, a rush of fear went to every corner of Jacks body; he shakily brought his gun up towards his son, saying "Hey… this is just a prank right? You're just messing with me right? Hey… this isn't funny I'm literally holding a gun right now…" There was no reply. Suddenly, tears flowed out of his son's eyes as he opened his mouth and said.

"Please… end me." Jack could not bear to see his son in this state. He was shaking his gun as tears flooded out of his eyes,

"I-I'm just hallucinating right? Please tell me I'm wrong, I don't have to do this right?" There was no response. Jack had no idea on what was going on, but he understood what was going on, his son must have been going through immense amounts of pain, emotional and physical.

"I'm sorry… so sorry…" Jack couldn't believe what he was going to do, before he let his mind stop himself from shooting he had to shoot.

Jack sent one bullet of his pistol right into his son's forehead; his son collapsed and so did Jack.

"So sorry… I'm so sorry." Little did Jack know at the time, it would take two bullets to kill the demon, Jack looked up as he saw his son slowly getting back up, this time with a different look in his eyes. He looked hungry, the tears in Jack's eyes slowly stopped coming out as he realised this was not his son anymore, he knew what he had to do. Jack aimed the pistol once again, and shot.

Kenzi collapsed again and there was no more movement, his arms were completely relaxed now and his eyes stopped twitching. Jack made a rule for himself years ago that he will never become a victim of his feelings, if there's something he doesn't like he'll do something about it.

He subconsciously made the decision to keep on moving on, until the day he dies. Just before he got up his sons mouth started twitching again, he prepared his aim again but all of a sudden words started coming out. A couple of hurried voices said "He's back! We made a mistake! We should have waited longer!"

"What do you mean he's back?! He should have died millions of years ago! Why is he back?"

"We can't back out now, this time it'll be different, he's not the same as he was, and he doesn't seem to be as powerful."

"Could we pull this off?"

"Possibly."

"It seems our first experiments were successful, even more powerful than we were back then."

"We have no idea where he is, but even without his full power we still cannot underestimate him, he can still take out hordes of us."

"So we can do this! We need to make sure he doesn't get his power back… or else that'll be the end of us.

Meanwhile, Jack has no idea what was going on. "What the fuck?" He thought whilst hearing all of this, he wondered who 'he' was.

"Oops, I accidentally left a bit of my blood inside experiment 52369, hopefully no one was able to hear what I said… ah whatever not like they would understand anyway. The speaking stopped and his son was no longer moving. Jack was confused but he wanted to bury his family, he must keep pressing forward for it is his fate.

This was exactly one day before day before the arrival of Mac.
