Beads of sweat formed on the side of your face as you frantically ran away from the killer, daring not to look behind in fear of their face being the last thing you’d ever lay your eyes upon. Being caught alone tinkering with one of the generators was practically a death sentence half the time if you weren’t in the right situation. And right now, you couldn’t do much other than dash between the trees and hope your stamina didn’t fail you.

The chase felt like an agonising eternity as you narrowly missed attacks that would’ve severely injured you. Adrenaline surged through your veins, your heart on the brink of leaping out of your chest with each second that passed by. You hoped to god that someone - anyone - came to your aid.

Thankfully, a certain somebody just so happened to glance over at your predicament and quickly came to help you out.

“Oh- I’ve got this one!”

Chance stepped forward, a grin on his face as he put on some sort of heroic bravado in those few moments. He pulled out his gold coin from his left pocket, flipping it once before putting it away and drawing his flintlock. He aimed it right at the killer and prepared himself to pull the trigger.

“You can thank me later once I’ve saved you from this ‘oh-so frightening’ situation.”

What a ridiculous charmer, that guy.

But upon pulling the trigger, the gun suddenly exploded in a flash of yellow and orange in front of his face. You could hear Chance bitterly cursing to himself as he staggered back in pain, and for a mere second the scene felt quite amusing, considering the immense confidence that radiated off of him a few moments prior. You always thought that weapon of his was redundant and should have been replaced ages ago - or at the very least, he should have learnt how to use his gun properly. However, the gambler was particularly stubborn and insisted on taking the damn thing to his grave.

The killer also seemed surprised too, which gave you an opportunity to escape while they were busy processing the current scene. You quickly snapped out of your daze and made a run for it, grabbing Chance by the arm and dragging him along with you.
