Chapter 36 - Clumsy Martin

Nathan got to the car park and saw Jenny being chased by the Wedigo. She crawled under an SUV and the Wendigo slammed into it.

It then grabbed the car and rocked it a couple of times before flipping it over. It somersaulted and missed Jenny by an inch.

"Jenny," Nathan yelled and ran to her.

"I'm fine, help the others," Jenny yelled as he ran between cars.

Nathan hesitated before he looked around for Martin's car. It was a little dented but Mark and the injured guy were safe.

Nathan pulled the door open.

"Hey, stay awake," Mark said to the injured man by his side.

"Are you guys okay?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah, I have been trying to stop him from passing out," Mark explained.

"Okay, sit tight I need to go rescue Jenny," Nathan said.

As he was walking away he saw a bottle of vodka in the backseat of a car. An idea suddenly popped into his head.

He remembered they found a jerrycan and a siphoning hose when they were searching the cars.

He quickly went to look for it. He then siphoned some gas from the cars.

He then poured them into glass bottles and made a Molotov cocktail. When he was done, he saw Martin and gestured at him to get down.

Martin crouched and walked over to him.

"What's going on?" Martin asked and Nathan handed him a Molotov cocktail.

"The Wendigo is here, fire is the only thing that can kill it," Nathan said as he lit Martin's Molotov.

"Give me one more," Martin requested.

"I was only able to make five. Make sure you hit the Wendigo," Nathan handed Martin another cocktail and lit the three more he had.

They tiptoe between cars and go close to the Wendigo.

They peeked over the hood of a car and crouched back down.

"To stop it from getting away I will go to the opposite side. Don't throw until I give you the signal," Nathan instructed.

"What is the signal," Martin asked. 

Nathan made a throwing gesture and Martin nodded.

Crouched, Nathan was making his way when he heard glass shatter. He turned and saw a broken Molotov not far from where Martin was hiding.

The Wendigo turned around when the bottle broke.

Fortunately, it did not see Martin because he was hiding behind the car.

"I thought I told him to wait," Nathan whispered to himself.

The Wendigo went in the direction of the noise. It bumped into cars as it ran between them. When it went to the broken Molotov it sniffed it and looked around. 

It then climbed onto the hood of the car Martin was hiding behind. It growled and Nathan turned and saw it was sitting just on top of Martin's position.

He was about to throw a Molotov to distract it but Martin beat him to the punch.

He threw his second Molotov and it hit the hood of a car setting it ablaze. Jenny who was behind the car popped her head out to see the cause of the noise.

Nathan sighed when the creature turned its attention toward the car with the burning hood.

Martin ran immediately the Wendigo ran towards the burning car.

He looked at the car and saw Jenny hiding behind it.

"No," Nathan said and chased it.

"Hey," he said and threw a Molotov at it. It turned and caught the bottle.

"Oh shit," Nathan said and turned around. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

The Wendigo lunged at him and slammed into a car nearby. It jumped onto the car and chased Nathan hopping from one car to another.

The roof of every car it landed on caved in. Nathan turned around and it was not there.

In the car, Mark was lying in they heard a bang. He lifted his head to see what was going on.

The moment he did, the roof of the car was crushed like a can. His heart jumped into his throat.

He turned and saw the Wendigo jump onto another car.

"Hey, come on we need to go," Mark said and grabbed the man by his side. He slid closer to him and he saw his eyes were still open. 

A white film covered it and his face was pale.

Mark sighed and clenched his fist so hard his nail dug into his palm.
