The End... As We Know It; Book 2

Jack turned around and saw the biggest bear he had ever seen in his life charging right at him! Jack had his shotgun off his shoulder in blink of an eye and dropped his torch as he quickly pointed it at the bear that must have weighed over a thousand pounds. Jack fired shell after shell into the charging beast, each shot taking a chunk of fur off of the creature's head, neck or shoulders. Jenny's gun finally joined his after her initial shock had worn off and they both fired until their shotguns were empty. But it had been enough. The bear slid to a halt, just a few feet short of reaching Jack. The bear gave a final gasp before dying and they both nervously reloaded their weapons as they stared at the dead monster of a bear. Jack's fingers were shaking so badly, that he almost dropped each shell as he reloaded his auto shotgun.

"Damn, I'm glad that's over." Jack gulped. That was the mother of all bears!"

"No it wasn't!" Jenny screamed again. "Here come that baby's parents!"

Jack looked up again and sure enough, he saw more bears coming right at them, and each and every one of them were almost twice the size of the one they had already killed. "Son of a bitch!" Jack yelled as he quickly grabbed up his torch and started running down the cavern, and back towards the underground facility. "This place is their lair!"

"This cave?" Jenny gulped as she ran alongside Jack, looking back to make sure Jem was staying up with them. The dog was doing one better though. She was barking and biting at the bears, slowing them down so Jack and Jenny could make their escape, then running to close the gap between herself and her human friends.

"No," Jack spat as he ran even faster. "The whole fricken Facility. That's why we found all those half eaten bodies. We're in these bears kitchen and now we're on the menu!"
