Previously on Nightmare.

The walkers manage a breakthrough into the lowest chamber. Candace together with the rest of the team descend to fight them off, hopefully with a large fan.

As things seem to get easier, the nightmare itself happens. A stomper joins the party.

~Chapter 8~

I stood still, paralyzed by the very sight of it. I closed my eyes to embrace my painful death. There was definitely no escape. Just then a very strong body hit me, the force flew me off my feet and smashed me on the cold hard floor with such force.

The dirt stuck to my skin and entered my nostrils. It wasn't really the death I had expected. Had I died at all? Someway somehow I was still alive.

"Get your ass up!" Moira screamed at me. I opened my eyes and found her shooting at the stomper as it made its way towards her.

I quickly got off the floor and reloaded my guns. I aimed at it and shot two bullets into its back that was turned towards me.

I didn't really expect it to do any harm. I just wanted to gets its attention.

It wasn't working. Moira run backwards, still spraying bullets at it.

The stomper covered its face with its large hands to shield the bullets away.

It was closing in on her fast. I really had to do something but what? There was no time and I was already getting tired.

"How's that fan coming Chloe!!" I asked her over the tiny plug in my ears.

"I need more time!" She answered.

"F*ck were getting our asses handed to us over here!!" I complained.

"Just a little more time!"

I quickly looked around and found an axe somewhere closer to one of the smashed turrets. Was that there before?

What did it matter. I rushed towards it. Once there, I picked it up, scanned it with my eyes a few seconds before narrowing my eyes at the beast.

The stomper raised its axe over its head and brought it down hard on Moira who evaded narrowly by rolling forward.

She immediately rolled over to her side as the axe came down again, missing her by inches.

She quickly drew out her pistol and fired at the penis part of the stomper, causing it to roar out in pain.  She quickly scrambled out of there as the stomper roared.

She didn't have much time.  I looked around and noticed a ladder that left right up to a balcony on the second chamber.

The stomper stood a bit of a distance away. If I could get up there and gain just the right amount of speed, I could make a big leap and bring down this axe on its head.

It definitely had to be strong enough to penetrate that metal sheet covering up its face.

Moira looked at my face and my facial expression told her everything I was thinking. Or so I thought.

She turned round to face the stomper, dashing towards her with great speed.

"Go. I'll get him in position." She quickly turned to notify me and looked back at the stomper with her eyes narrowed.

I quickly got to the ladder and begun to climb. It was going to be a bit of a journey but I was willing to take it.

Moira stood her ground and drew out two small daggers from her boots as the stomper got closer. Dust rose up after it, covering its huge thumping feet.
