The Stranger came to me again. He showed me the path of nothingness.

I'm running out of time.

We sent an agent into the facility yesterday. He was supposed to check the place out and bring out any information he could. We hoped the people in the facility would ignore one rogue agent since they didn't do anything to stop the full-on attack.

We were so wrong.

Jenna came to us this morning. She stopped at the edge of our camp and opened a bag she had brought with her. Two heads fell out.

The agent's name was Sean. I don't know who the child was.

Jenna went berserk when the suits tried to restrain her. Three people have been injured and she returned to the facility.

I'm gonna go cry some more.

I woke up last night and The Stranger was in my tent. It seemed to small for the space and yet he fit. 

He did not speak, but I could feel his words in my head. 

We can stop The Ravager from returning. We can take the third option. I don’t need to erase these people. I don’t need to find away to break The Ravager’s control.

I taunted him. He knew I was winning. The only ones left are him, The Birds and The Shifter. Soon they would all be gone. The world would be free of the Fears.

He showed me the world through his eyes. Empty fields where houses had once stood, blank spaces that were once forests, entire cities wiped clean. It’s a race against time.

No, it’s a lost cause.

No. I will never believe that. 

I tried to erase The Stranger but it flickered away before I could even try. 

I will not take the third option.

July 19 - Part 2

It was still standing there, on the edge of the camp, staring with its eyeless face. 

I yelled at it. Screamed. Demanded it answer me. The suits look at me like I was insane but I knew, I knew it could talk. Communicate. Something.

It just stood and stared.

July 19

We’ve got nothing. No clue. No idea of where to start. I’m the only one who remembers The Ravager and I didn’t know that much to begin with.

I wish The Water were still around.

Goddamnit, no. No. I will not regret. They are all monsters and all must be erased. There are others I can get information from.

I’m going to talk to The Stranger.

July 18

The assault failed. 

No, didn’t fail. 

I called it off. 

We had a few snipers taking out people through the windows. They hadn’t posted guards. I thought they weren’t expecting an attack. 

The Ravager is a sick creature. If what The Water said is true, the people in there are all following pre-programmed orders whispered to them by the creature. If that’s true, it can’t be allowed to come back.

When the attack started, a line of people came out and formed rows in front of the door. At first the suits kept on going, then we realized they weren’t fighting back. It knew exactly who to send at us.

It was a line of suits. Each one holding the hand of small child. How cliche can you get? But it worked. They’re counting on me to save them, I can’t command them to kill children. I couldn’t even erase them. 

We need to find a way to break The Ravager’s control. 

Jenna was with them. She survived The City with me, I won’t forsake her now.

July 17

We’re storming the facility. 

I haven’t told the suits what The Water told me. I’m not even sure I fully believe it. You can’t call a Fear back from the other world. What would be the point in sending them away if they could come back?

We’ll take out the intruders before they can even try.
