As the woman vibrated one of the young women went to pick up a dagger from the bedside table. Nathan took advantage and fought off the two remaining girls on his right.
He freed his legs and kicked the elderly woman in the face. She was unfazed, she kept chanting.
Nathan punched one of the other girls and rolled out of bed. He ran out completely naked. The six girls chased him out.
Nathan looked around between two recreational vehicles. Nathan hid behind one of the cars.
"What are you waiting for? Go get him," Nathan heard the elder woman say. He ran as fast as he could to his car.
He got inside and tried starting it. Every time he sparked it the engine stalled. After trying for a while he got out and slammed the door shut.
He turned around and saw Mark. He was startled but calmed down when he noticed it was Mark.
"The car won't start. I need to get out of here they tried to kill me," Nathan explained.
"He is over here," Mark yelled.
"What are you doing?" Nathan asked. Before he could get an answer he saw a mob heading his way. He ran in the opposite direction.
Mark watched as Nathan ran and the mob ran past him.
'What the hell is going on,' Nathan thought as he ran.
As he ran between vehicles he ran into one of the people chasing him.
"Over here," the man called out then chuckled as he walked towards him.
Nathan sighed.
The man swung and he ducked. He then grabbed his head and slammed it into the recreational vehicle.
After knocking him unconscious, he took off his clothes and put them on.
He was a little bigger than the man, so his pants gave him a wedgie.
He pulled his pants off his butt as he walked away.
"I need to figure out what is going on," Nathan said to himself.
He doubled back to the house. There the woman was waiting.
"I knew you would be back. Never imagined it would be willingly," the woman said.
"What are you, and what did you do to my friend?" Nathan said putting up a fist.
"I am an akin of the maenad and you are our sacrifice," the woman smiled.
"A what?" Nathan asked.
"Now we know our place, fulfill your destiny. Be Bacchus' vessel," the akin commanded.
She got closer to Nathan and he punched her. His right hook only turned her head. She put her arms up and started to chant.
Like before she vibrated, this time her after-image splintered. She continued and two became three then four.
Soon Nathan had five people surrounding him. They pulled out the ritual dagger they had tucked in a string around their waist.
Nathan tried to push one of the many copies and escape. He tried and passed right through her. He tripped and fell.
He looked up and he saw the crowd walking towards him. She got on top of him and continued chanting. The crowd chanted along with her.
She tried to stab him and he wrestled her for the knife. They rolled over in the dirt then Nathan got up panting.
He stared at the knife plunged into the woman's side. She bled with a smile on her face.
Nathan turned around.
"It was an accident," he yelled. The crowd dispersed. They got into their recreational vehicle and sped off.
After the commotion, the only people left were Mark, Nathan, and the bleeding body.
