Chapter Text
Chapter 1
It was the 10th of August, 1996 on a stormy, dark night, just leaving a party. Two friends Maddison: a short 20 year old girl with black medium length 2b hair, brown eyes and old jean shorts, paired with a baby pink spaghetti strap tank top, and muddy cowgirl boots.
On top of her lightly tanned pale skin, and Maria: an average height girl with long pin straight blonde hair, blue eyes, a 21 year old girl, slightly older than Maddison, dressed in a flowy white sundress paired with brown medium length boots.
Are driving deep in the heart of the American south. Seemingly lost they continue their drive on a muddy, eerie, backroad. As they continue to drive they make it to a fork in the road. Not knowing which turn takes them off of the old back road, they stop for just a moment.
“Take the right, I have a gut feeling”
Maddison states. Maria replies in a slightly concerned, but friendly tone.
“If you say so, whatever gets us back home.”
Maria makes the right turn, and the radio starts to emit static, a look of irritation begins to spread across their faces.
“Ugh not the radio”
Maddison replies in frustration to the radio issues. Maria nervously states,
“maybe we went too far into the woods? There might not be any signal.”
Just then, one of the worst scenarios plays out, they hear the sputtering of the engine. Maddison, starting to calm down, notices a fallen tree blocking their path.
“Dammit, I thought I could trust my gut feeling.” Maddison blurts out.
As Maria notices the crunching of leaves, and twigs breaking, a large form emerges from the darkness.
“What the actual FUCK, is that?!”
Maria shouts.
A tall, slightly yellowed, grotesque, pig with long, skinny legs. That looks somewhat odd. Getting a closer look, the girls freeze in terror. It has thick, black, stitches connecting old, severed, bloody human arms to its body, to act as legs. While the girls are staring at the pig in shock, rustling can be heard through the window on the driver's side.
The girls haven't noticed the tall, manly, shadow figure emerging from the bushes. The girls still have not yet noticed it, when it raises something in hand and strikes the window, knocking out Maria. This causes Maddison to quickly panic.
She begins desperately trying to get out of the car as she unbuckles her seatbelt, opens the door and tries to run. The figure ignores her and grabs Maria from the car. Flight kicks in for Maddison as she runs for the trees only to hear someone running after her. She turns her head for just a moment when she sees someone else is chasing her.
“HOLY SHIT, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE?!”
screams as she continues to run. Just then she is stopped when she feels her body abruptly stop as her hair is roughly grabbed and yanked back. She falls to the ground next to the figure.
All she could think about were her choices leading up until now, how she got here, how she left Maria, how she had suggested taking the right, and how badly she was hurting from the figure aggressively pulling at her hair. “It hurts so much it feels like it’s going to be ripped from my scalp.”
Maddison thought, and all of that paired with the exhaustion of running caused her to fall into unconsciousness.
The figure picked her up and threw her over its shoulder, and proceeded to walk away towards the other.
(for context Maddison is 5’2, Maria is 5’4, and it’s canon that Jackson is 5’11, and William is 6’2 or 6’3)
