Y/N POV

I rushed deeper and deeper down the network of tunnels, the sounds of shotguns and insane laughter acting as a guide. I knew for certain that whatever was going on down here, it involved Jack and judging by the gunfire, I'm sure it involved Ethan as well. I had to get there as quickly as possible before something bad happened to him.

I couldn't afford to waste any time. Luckily I didn't encounter many of those Molded along the way, those I DID find, I simply ran past. Not wanting to get distracted dealing with them. I knew how durable Jack Baker had become after acquiring Eveline's 'gift' and while I knew I may be able to take him down, that was only due to me also having said gift however to my knowledge, Ethan was still just ordinary. He shouldn't even BE HERE! Let alone capable of putting Jack down!

Picking up the pace, I was almost completely sprinting now. The sounds began to get louder which was a good indication that I was reaching the sight of it and after the run, stepping over more Mold growths, I finally came across the door.

The sounds were downright loud now, so I knew that the source of it was beyond this door. I reached out and placed my hand in the centre of the door before abruptly flinging it open. It slammed against the wall behind it loudly.

I stepped out onto what appeared to be a platform overlooking a square room. Inside this square, as  I expected, I was met with Jack brandishing some form saw-scissors hybrid meanwhile Ethan was standing his ground, a shotgun in hand. I assumed this was the shotgun from the rec room. I called out "Ethan!" Drawing the attention of both him and Jack.

Ethan exclaimed "Y/N!" Jack just chuckled and said "Well well, lookie who we've got here. You done hiding now and ready to be a proper uncle? I'm sure Evie doesn't appreciate this game of hide and seek you've been playin' with us!"

Not replying to that comment I simply leapt from the ledge and landed right in front of them. Ethan asked "Y/N? What are you doing down here?" I glanced at him briefly before turning my attention to Jack who was still grinning. I responded "Ethan, I need you to get out of here. Leave Jack to me."

This made Ethan yell "What?! Are you insane?! This psycho's borderline invincible! I've tried everything, handguns, knives, shotguns. He even got hit by a car several times and set on fire yet he just keeps on coming back!"

Jack remarked "What can I say? My daughter's gift is special, and I keep it with me always." I turned back to Ethan and grinned saying "Don't worry about me Ethan." The grin turned to a genuine smile as I said "I'm sorry about before. I can't explain what happened but that wasn't me, You need to leave while I still have control!"

Ethan still seemed hesitant however he nodded. He said "Thank you Y/N. Just please, don't throw your life away. If you get a chance, RUN." I  sighed and said "Just go Ethan, I'll catch up." I didn't know if I was telling the truth, I didn't know if I could overpower Jack. But Ethan didn't need to know that.

As he ran to what I believed to be the exit, I turned to face Jack. I could hear Ethan fumbling around with the gate muttering "Damn it, locked." He seemed to look around for something before I heard the revving of a chainsaw followed by the gate opening.

Ethan then called "Y/N! Here!" I turned to him as he threw the chainsaw in his hands that I assumed was already from this room. I caught it and said "Thank you." As Ethan fled the scene, looking for the escape, Jack yelled after him "I'll deal with you later you hear me?! You can't run forever! HA HA!"

Now it was just me and Jack, alone in the room. Ethan ran up some stairs and tried to make an escape. I assume he encountered some Molded because handgun gunshots could be heard. I ignored those sounds though and instead focused on the psychotic man in front of me.

Jack just stared back, a giant smirk spread across his face as he snapped the giant scissors open and closed in a threatening motion. He then said "You can't just deny little Evie's gift forever Y/N. She wants an uncle and when she calls, you will listen! Whether you like it or not."

I stared back, before saying "I intend to cling on as long as I can." That made Jack laugh out loud as he said "Let's see how long you can last when I'm bashin' your head against the metal walls!" I growled in anger, raised the chainsaw Ethan gave me and revved it into action.

Jack rushed forward, frantically trying to strike at me with the scissors. I was able to duck under him thankfully and stabbed outward, plunging the chainsaw into his stomach. The revving became louder as the weapon came out of Jack's back. 

I followed this up by swinging the saw upwards. Any normal human would have been brutally killed by this. However Jack was barely phased. In fact, he simply let out an obnoxious annoying laugh.

He swung the scissors at me again, this time I raised the chainsaw to defend. We wound up in a clash of sorts. Jack leaned forward, grinning as he said "Come on boy! Let's see what you've got!" He began pushing into the clash, the force of this made me slowly step backwards.

The clash continued until I finally saw a chance to strike. I abruptly lifted the chainsaw up and stepped to the side, causing Jack to stumble forward. I then lashed out and lodged the chainsaw into his head, attempting to push it towards.

While this wasn't enough to kill Jack, it caused him to fall back. A giant red growth briefly consuming his upper torso and head. I used this chance to attack, while he was vulnerable. I swung the chainsaw several times, striking the growth.

This vulnerability only lasted a short while though and soon Jack's upper half completely reformed. He went in to counter and swung the giant scissors like a rabid animal. I did my best to raise the chainsaw to defend. We briefly entered another clash, before separating and trading frantic slashes towards one another.

And that's where my luck began to run out, suddenly the chainsaw stopped revving, the green light turned a flashing red as the whole thing shut off. Jack mockingly laughed "What's the matter?! Outta juice?!"

He swung and while the chainsaw wasn't switching on, I still used it to defend his insane barrage of swings and slashes. I was doing quite well at first. In face, I actually managed to slash the chainsaw into Jack's shoulder.

I tried to switch it on, of course it didn't turn on completely, however that initial rev managed to cut into Jack's body and once again damage him enough for the red growth to once again consume his entire upper-half!

With the chainsaw being of no use to me, I had an idea. While Jack was vulnerable like this, I viscously stabbed it into the growth itself! Jack's body painfully tried to reform around the weapon, I brandished my axe again.

Jack let out a cry of pain as his body continued to reform. I stepped forward and slashed at him with the axe, taking advantage of this opening. My chainsaw only provided me with a brief advantage though.

As soon as one of Jack's arms had reformed, he gripped the handle of the chainsaw and ripped it from him. And straight after that his torso reformed completely. He turned to glare at me however even though he looked enraged, he still had a large smile spread across his face.

"Heh heh, you've really gone and done it now! You know that boy?" I glared at him before snapping "Oh I know that, there's one thing I don't know-." As Jack tossed the chainsaw aside, I stepped forward and before he could react, I felt a rage consume me. I grabbed him by the back of the head and said "How you can ALWAYS sound so HAPPY. Even after everything."

I swung the axe and lodged it into Jack's neck before asking "Why Jack? Why so happy?" To that Jack let out a laugh before saying "Because, it's what my darlin' daughter wants. Evie wants a family and it's our job to do as she asks!"

I looked down "All those people. Dead. And how do you and your family react? Happy!" I withdrew the axe and in a sudden motion, slammed Jack Baker's head into one of the metal walls. "So I'll ask again. Why so happy?"

I slammed Jack's head into the wall again, and again. I felt enraged, it only got worse and worse. Jack simply began laughing and as I continuously smashed him head-first into the wall, he just kept going.

Abruptly Jack spun around and grabbed me, even with my fit of rage, he just came back with little more than a scratch. "You're one of us Y/N, you have her gift to. As does your sister. And now that Ethan boy has it as well. Even if he gets out, Evie will be with him forever."

This shocked me, I shouldn't have been surprised, the previous victims had all become infected so Ethan should have been no exception. Even so, my eyes widened as I dropped Jack, he fell to the floor for a moment as I stepped back, shocked by the revelation. How had I not thought of this sooner?

Jack chucked before suddenly rushing forward, preparing to attack however I raised my axe and swiftly lodged it into his neck area. I withdrew it only to repeat the same motion again, and again, multiple times simultaneously.

The tumour-like growth appeared and I wasted no time reaching for the chainsaw, with what little power it had left, I violently thrust the blade into the growth, switching it on and off repeatedly. The constant revving kept damaging Jack until finally the tumour BURST!

All that remained of Jack Baker were his legs. Even then, for a moment he stepped forward towards me before he fell to the ground. The pair of legs didn't move at all and instead remained motionless. 

It looked as though Jack Baker had finally either been killed, or incapacitated for a long period of time. I dropped the chainsaw at my feet and stood there, in a trance for a moment, staring at Jack Baker's dethatched legs in shock.

The rage I felt had subsided, now I was overwhelmed for a moment before I finally had to push that feeling out of my mind. It was safe to assume that Ethan had taken the dog head relief. Meaning he had managed to unlock the way outside.

With what Jack had told me, I couldn't let him leave anymore. I thought back to Mia's note from three years ago. She mentioned an antidote to this Mold. Then and ONLY then would he be able to escape here without having to worry about Eveline.

It seemed I had a new goal. More importantly, I finally had a way out of this house, allowing me to explore the grounds more, perhaps THERE I would find the answers I seek.
