Hessian Hex Re-Make Part 6.

 Now that I had been transformed into the famous Hessian himself, I had been taken over by these more vicious instincts and urges, or rather before I snapped out of it - because in this remake version of the tale I was not fully evil when I got transformed before-hand. That night after the transformation, I jetted off and ran off into the woods before looking at myself in the reflection of the lake, I admit that I did look good with those teeth and no I do not have a fetish for characters with sharp teeth (what, who told you that I did?). My current supporting character Rebecca - who was the replacement for the one from the original run who was an alien in the form of a human teenager who ended up being summoned back to their home world in 2016 - was now more concerned about me than ever, and she really wanted to make sure that she would be able to fix this. 'There's got to be someway to fix this. Nathan? Where are you?' She ran through the woods and checked to see which direction I headed off into, it wasn't too long until she came across a clearing.

Two young men were talking to eachother as they walked through the woods, one was a scientist named Nigel and the other was a blacksmith named James. 'I don't feel safe here, James. I know we are just likely to get killed off anyway but this is beyond creepy to me.' 'Relax, Nigel. There is absolutely nothing in these woods that is going to come out and attack us. No deadites, no vampires - from Brooklyn or otherwise, no werewolves that are from America, nothing.' 'But what about the Hessian horseman?' 'The Hessian? No. That's just a silly urban myth.'

"Ummm..guys, I would hate to tell you this but....but....but, there is no way for me to sugarcoat this."

"But what?"

"The Hessian is real."

"What?"

'And he's going to chop your heads off if you're not careful, but you know it already because it's based on Sleepy Hollow anyway.' 'He's right you know, we should get out of here while we have the chance.' 'Relax...we've got plenty of time...' Just then, as he was about to run - he heard a growling sound coming from not too far behind.

"Oh no...no...it can't be."

"What?"

"It's....it's....it's....."

The growling got louder as it got closer and closer, until Nigel finally turned around to see what it was that was making that sound. 'Aaaaaaargh! GRRRRRRRRR! Out of my way i'm cursed to be evil everytime I transform and have to kill someone off to keep the bloodlust at bay.'

"Aaaaaaaaaah!"

"It's the Hessian!"

"Grrrrrrr!"

"Let's get out of here!"

James decided to make a run for it and headed back towards town to go and tell everyone about what he just saw. But Nigel on the other hand wasn't so lucky, as I leaped out from the shadows and grabbed him, grabbing him by the neck and then slicing his head with my axe - letting out a menacing roar while doing so.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Sorry, don't worry you can always get a new one later"

"Nathan. What have you done?"

"You know what I just did, I killed someone to stop bloodlust from getting the best of me, I don't normally harm innocent people but I just harmed an innocent person and it felt good. I must do it again or else."

"No...don't...don't...."

"Grrrrr...I must kill some more! I can feel my bloodlust increasing by the minute."

"Nathan...snap out of it."

"Sorry Becks, but I have to."

I jetted off back through the other side of the woods and headed towards town, upon reaching my destination I searched for more victims. Rebecca followed me but along the way something stopped her, she heard an eerie song being sung by a little girl, the girl looked to be about 7 and had a rather ghost-like appearance. 'Don't even scream. Don't even cry. The Hessian is coming by. Looking in windows, knocking down doors. He's going to slice heads off and he might get yours. You can't even run, can't hide away. You're going to end up without a head.'

"Okay...where did that creepy little girl come from? I mean I know it's a horror cliche and everything but..."

"I'm a ghost. Beware...."

"I know. Beware the Hessian."

A group of townspeople froze in fear at the mere mention of that name, it seemed to have frightened them.

"The Hessian's here?"

"Yes."

"Aaaaah! Everybody run for your lives!"

Everyone in town started panicking, running and screaming. They knew about my presence now and were afraid of what was going to happen. All except one, and that person was Ichabod Crane. 'What's this I hear about an encounter with a certain sharp-toothed horseman?'

"Oh hi, Mr Crane."

"Please call me Ichabod."

"Right, Ichabod. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me here."

"I'll try - tell me what it is you want."

"Well this is about my encounter with the Hessian. You're not going to believe me If I do though."

"What?"

"My-best-friend-got-a-curse-placed-upon-him-and-now-he-s-become-the-Hessian."

"That's never happened before! Did he kill anyone?"

"Yes...Nigel."

"You mean that scientist?"

"Yes...and now he's on a mini rampage of sorts."

"Oh dear...we have to get to the bottom of this before it's too late."

"We better make it quick because he's drawing nearer."

"Right. Follow me to the church."

"Why a church?"

"Because he can't cross holy grounds specifically not churches."

"Oh, I see!"

"Let's hurry up with it, so he doesn't find us!"

With that, Ichabod and Rebecca ran off towards the nearest church and once they got there they headed inside to go and hide from me. While I continued on my little mini rampage through town, slashing and hacking at various people and slicing their heads off - these were innocent people that I had committed horrible acts of violence ot but the bloodlust was too strong to try and keep back, I worried for my friends.

They looked to see if it was safe, so far so good - they wouldn't have to worry about me trying to attack them - as they knew I wouldn't be able to cross on holy grounds.

----------------------------------------------

Will Ichabod and Rebecca figure out a plan to get their friend back to normal? Or will Nathan be stuck as a rampaging Hessian warrior forever?
