Christy Wheeler ran through the dark forest, nervously looking back now and then. She barely managed to escape with her life, but for the others it was too late. The six young adults that used to be her friends now turned into bloody mess. Their flesh was ripped up in a most horrific way, some had bones sticking out. Christy wondered how she was even able to stand on her legs and avoid fainting from what she saw. But she knew one thing: if she wanted to live, she had to run as fast as possible.
She ran and ran, her hair fluttering in the wind like a flag. Christy had no idea how much time has passed. How long was she running? Five minutes? Ten minutes? Or more? And did that even matter? It seemed like an eternity to her.
Christy continued running until she felt her feet soaring and lungs burning from the lack of air in them. It felt necessary for her to stop and take a breath, but she was afraid that if she stopped even for a few seconds, that man, that... monster would get her instantly. Whoever he was, he moved fast and relentlessly, with all the skills of a true born hunter. Christy knew that even if she managed to escape this place with her life, his white mask of a hockey goalkeeper, stoic and expressionless, would be haunting her for the rest of her life.
Why did she even agree to come to this God forsaken camp in the woods? Her course mates invited her, and Christy continued to refuse for quite a long time. Just like everyone in her company, she knew what kind of rumors circled around Camp Crystal Lake. She believed in the legend of a cursed camp and that an undead killer named Jason Voorhees lived there and murdered anyone who dared to trespass his territory. Christy appeared to be the only believer within the company and that's why her friends teased her for that. She remembered how Troy, the guy known to be a womanizer, made cruel jokes about her, about her fear of the stupid campfire story. And once the situation went out of control. He said that if any of the males in their company don't have her, then Jason Voorhees would be the lucky one. Christy finally snapped and slapped that bastard on the face with all her might, not caring that the others were present and watching the scene. She was often teased and mocked for avoiding the courtship of the guys in her university, but what could she do if she liked no one there? She sure wasn't going to date anybody against her will. What then if she had no boyfriend? She felt absolutely fine alone, at least for now.
None of those memories mattered right now. Troy was brutally murdered, gutted with such ferocity that it's hard to imagine that something like that was even possible. Christy could be happy that he was dead, as that rascal got what he deserved. But the other course mates of hers were also dead, and now Jason Voorhees was on her tail. She regretted her decision to join the company, regretted it many, many times. But all of that was already unimportant. She had to do something. She knew she had to reach some place where Jason wouldn't be able to reach her. Anywhere would be good, just as far from this damned camp as possible.
Finally Christy stopped to take a breath and realized that she reached the road. She pondered whether it would be a good idea to stick to it and just go back to the direction they came from. The road would finally lead to the town, but on the other hand, she would be more visible here for her pursuer. The trees at least helped her to stay more or less hidden, or so she thought. But Jason didn't care. Those were his woods and he knew this place like the five fingers on each of his hands. It didn't matter to him whether the victims ran through the trees or along the road. He always caught them no matter what.
Christy was ready to continue running along the road when suddenly a bright light illuminated everything, and a sound of a car engine broke the silence of the night. She stopped, unable to believe her luck.
It was a car.
Seeing that the vehicle was moving in the direction of the town, Christy ran into the middle of the road, hoping the driver would stop. And lucky for her, the car stopped, and a middle-aged woman opened the window, peeking out of her car.
"Please, lady, stop!" Christy gasped, running closer to the car. "Wherever you're going, please let me go with you. I will be murdered if you leave me here!"
"Whoa, calm down," the woman said. "What are you doing here alone in the middle of the night? Who will murder you?"
"It's Camp Crystal Lake here, ten minutes of driving from here. Please, help me! I have to get out of here!"
The woman at the wheel widened her eyes when Christy mentioned Camp Crystal Lake. But before she could say anything, her face expression suddenly began showing the signs of panic.
"Quick, get in! Hurry!" she yelled. Christy didn't waste time and hopped inside the car. And no wonder why the driver began to panic when she saw its source. A gargantuan man in a hockey mask with a machete in his hand stepped out of the dark forest and was now heading to the vehicle. The woman slammed the gas pedal and the car raced forward swiftly, leaving the masked killer no chance to get his last victim.
