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)

Maddison slowly, but quietly woke up just about six minutes after falling unconscious. She realized very quickly it would be best not to make her presence known, so she remained still. Her eyes darted around assessing her surroundings, she noticed Maria, who was also being carried by the other man, who had attacked them at the car “so I was right, there are two” Maddison thought to herself.
The man carrying Maddison had realized her pulse was fixating, he could feel her pulse raising. He called out to the other man, “I think this ones waking up, what should we do?” Just then the two men, who had to be in their early twenties based on their looks, stopped walking. “Knock her back out then, don’t be stupid” the other responded. “Maybe if I just keep acting like I'm still out they won't hurt me” Maddison thought. “There's no use in pretending you're still out, I know you're not unconscious.” Her heart sank.
He set her down onto the ground, making sure to grab her by the hair to prevent her from escaping. He then took the wrench the other man held in his tool belt, and struck Maddison directly on the back of the head, she was out cold. Blood began to trickle from the wound as he picked her back up and continued forward.
“Arrival at the Farm House”
Maria, finally waking up, could see the figures and make out their appearances. One of them, clearly more serious than the other. Meanwhile the other looked a bit nicer, not as unmannered. “They're clearly siblings or closely related” Maria thought to herself. Beginning to turn her head, only being able to move her head slightly, due to the strain of her injury. She could see a small glance of Maddison in the corner of her eye. Maddison was still unconscious in the other chair, that’s when one of the two spoke up.
“I don’t think she’ll be getting up for another ten minutes or so, I gave her quite the head injury when I hit her,” said the less serious one.
“Jackson, stop talking to her! Don’t interact with the guests.” one of them said .
“Shut up William! I’m just trying to be polite.” said Jackson. Hearing them yelling at one another, Maria tried to hold in her laugh, as much as possible.
“What are you staring at blondie? Said William
“The pig on the floor, and your ugly ass face” Maria said in a snarky voice.
“You're lucky we have something planned, so I can't kill you yet, you rude bitch.” said William. Maria stared absolutely bewildered as she snapped back “IM RUDE? YOU SMASHED MY WINDOW IN AND KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS, YOU ASSHOLE.” Maria screamed. William walked up to Maria and smacked her across her face. “Shut your mouth, you were not asked to speak” said William.
Maddison was starting to squirm and opened her eyes. The first thing she spotted was the disgusting pig laying on the floor, “eww” she thought to herself. “Well lookie here, look who's finally awake! I was beginning to think you were dead” Jackson exclaimed. She stared up and looked around in confusion.
She saw Maria quietly sitting in the chair next to her with a red mark plastered across her cheek, and light tears slowly falling down her face. William watched her stare and respond with “that's what happens when
unimportant people run their mouths.” “What the hell is wrong with you monsters?”
Jackson walked towards her, stepping around the pig, only then she realized he’d had a butcher's knife in hand the entire time. “what are you going to do with..that” Maddison stated quietly with noticeable fear in her voice.
“Don’t worry sweetheart, I won't hurt you with it, unless you and your little friend there try to run away.” Jackson stated with a menacing grin spread across his face.

“William and Jackson exit the room.”
“William, maybe you were too harsh on her. Don’t you think so?” Jackson said.
“No, she needed to be taught a lesson,” William said sternly. “Besides you have no room to talk, when the shorter one woke up on the way here you hit her with my wrench, don’t you think that was too harsh?” He added. “You know I only did that to knock her back out, it’s not the same.” Jackson stated rudely.
“Back in the room”
“Finally those psychos are gone” said Maddison, her voice much more relieved. “Are you ok Maria, because we need to find a way out of here immediately.”
“Yes, I’m fine, and you're right, let's find the exit.” Maria stated calmly with subtle uncertainty in her voice. They got up and began searching around the room. They tried the door, only to find it locked. “Of course those hillbilly freaks, locked it.” Maria said, irritated. “Hey look at this” Maddison pointed to a hole in the wall. “I'm not sticking my arm in there,” said Maria. “Me neither,” Maddison added.
“What about that?” Maria said, while pointing to a broken mannequin, with one flimsy looking arm. “It could work, let's try it,” Maddison said as she yanked the arm off, and used it to push a button in the hole. They heard a click, and the door opened. The girls slowly, and quietly crept out into the hall, where they overhear William and Jackson talking in the hall.
“We need to keep them alive for the experiment.” William said. “I know, that’s why I dressed the heavily bleeding wound on the short girl's head.” replied Jackson. The girls shared a look of fear, and confusion as they listened further, trying to not get caught.
“What if they figure it out before we are ready?” Jackson said.
“They won't figure it out if you keep your damn loud mouth shut.” William frustratingly said.
“Just then, a floor board is heard creaking outside of the room”
“MADDISON!!” Maria whispered loudly. “Come on HIDE!” Maddison whispered back. They quietly ran for the closest thing to them, which happened to be a dinghy bathroom. They quickly hid behind the door.
“William, did you hear that?” “They must've got out, let's go check they can't go far.”
They heard quick, heavy footsteps approaching. Maria looks at Maddison with a worried expression, holding her hand over Maddisons mouth, whose breathing has gotten too loud. “Maddison, do you smell that too?” Maddison replies with a slight nod. “It smells like rotting flesh, I'm going to be sick.”
They froze when Jackson, and William entered the bathroom. They had noticed the smell and went over to the bathtub where William retrieved half of a human leg. “Oh, here's where we left the leg! See I told you it would turn up.” Jackson stated happily. “I thought that pig had gotten to it,” Jackson added. “Whatever, we need to put it back and then check on those two…” William responds.
They left to put the leg back in its proper place, the girls had a sigh of relief, and hurried down the hall toward the room, where they sat back in their respective chairs. “Oh my god, I thought they would find us,” Maria said, in a relieved, and shocked tone. “Did you see they pulled a human leg out of the tub?” Maddison said, getting nauseous thinking about it. “Wait, I think I hear them coming.” Maria said, “Act normal.”
“HEY YOU BRATS!! WERE YOU SNOOPING AROUND?” William shouted accusingly.
“No you idiots left the door unlocked. If you didn't want us to leave you should've locked the damn door.” Maria said to their faces. While Maddison sat with an anxious expression.
“Jackson, I thought I told you to lock the door!”
“Sorry William, I forgot, we were in such a hurry.”
“Maybe if the short one wasn't so forgetful all the time, we wouldn't have been able to get out.” Maria said in a cocky tone. “Do you ever learn to shut that damn mouth of yours, princess?” William said very irritated. “Sorry darling, but I don't listen to jackasses.” Maria stated teasingly.
“Maria shut the fuck up, your gonna get us killed” Maddison whispered into her ear. “Death is better than staying in this nasty, ass place, and looking at their faces.”
“Since you're continuing to complain, me and you are going to have a talk about respect.” William states, voice full of anger. William grabs Maria by the wrist and yanks her to the door, where he drags her down the hallway.

Maddison watches in fear, as her friend is being dragged away down the hall, “what’s he going to do to her” she reluctantly asks Jackson. “don’t worry, I'm sure she’ll be justttt fine.” he says with a grin forming on his face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Maddison says reluctantly.
“Oh nothing, it’s just that you're much prettier than most people who come around here.” Jackson says while walking closer to her, and taking a seat in the now empty chair next to her. Maddison uncomfortably stares at him in awkward silence.
“So what's your name, pretty girl?” Jackson says while grabbing onto her wrist, so she couldn't take the chance to run.
“..Maddison…look ,please let us go. I promise we won't tell anyone, and we won’t go to the police. I swear” She tried to plead with him.
“Maddison huh, that’s a pretty name for a pretty girl.” he said as he used his free hand to brush her hair from her face.
“Please don’t touch me,” she replied fearfully. “Oh sorry, don’t worry I respect your boundaries” he says as he stops touching her hair but continues to tightly grip her wrist, to prevent escape. “You look tired, are you?” Jackson asked curiously.
Maddison wasn’t tired, she knew it had to be at least 3 in the morning, and she didn’t trust him, so she simply replied with “no, i’m…i’m not tireedd….” She tries to say as she passes out and falls over.
“Hmmm, looks like someone was tired after all.” he says with a smile as he tosses the empty syringe, once filled with a sedative.
Jackson admires her as he picks her up, and carries her to a bedroom, where he sets her down on a bed, and covers her with a blanket. Jackson then proceeds to lay next to her, and watches her sleep.
“With Maria and William”
“Can you let go of my damn wrist, you're hurting me.” Maria said, aggravated. “You should have thought about what you said hun, you caused this yourself.” William said while grasping her wrist tighter. “If you weren’t such a dick I wouldn't have to speak like that.” Maria said.
William who's entering a doorway drags her and shoves her onto a messily made bed. “Whose room is this?” Maria asked, confused. “Mine, Jackson is letting your friend use the other, this is the only one left.” William replies.
“Oh, so Mr. Stone cold can be generous, didn’t know that was possible.” William walked over to her, putting his hands on her knees, kneeling down to meet her height. “I didn’t know someone as beautiful as you could be so serious, it honestly makes you hot.”
“I like a girl with a bit of an attitude.” William says with a smirk looking at me.
William begins to lean closer to her. He whispers in her ear “what's your name beautiful.” With his warm breath gliding against her skin. “Maria.” “What a beautiful name you’ve got, gorgeous, I assume you already know mine.” William said with a sharp tone.
Maria pushes him away, “just because you're hot doesn't mean i’ll fall for this little game of yours.”
“Princess, just because I can be nice doesn’t mean it's a game.” “I'll let you go this time, don’t expect me to again.”
William walks over to the bed “lay down, the least I can do after hitting your head is let you sleep.”
“You're not as bad as I thought.” Maria thought to herself.
William sits at the bottom of the bed, laying his head against the wall as Maria sleeps peacefully.
