Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}

Chapter 11

(Y/n) P.O.V.

With a grunt of effort, I finally get to the top with Sam. We silently, but determinedly, make our way back. We find ourselves at a lake. Sam drops down into the lake and shrieks of the cold. "This again." I mutter, following Sam. While wading to the other end of the lake, a shriek is heard. A wendigo shriek. We moves faster to the other end. We continue walking to a high ledge, where I go first, sliding down, but landing hard on the ground on my stomach. I groan, getting up. Sam, learning from me, gets down easier. "You okay?" I nod. We keep walking, passing a shed, where we hear the roar of a wendigo once again. We share a look before breaking into a sprint.

We duck under a log, jump down a ledge, and jump over a propane tank before finally reaching the lodge. We pound on the door in desperation. "HEY! HEY!!!!! COME ON OPEN UP!!!! GUYS COME ON ARE YOU IN THERE?? LET US IN!" We shout. "Guys-" We both jump, and turn to face Mike. "Damn, Mike!" I say, hugging him. "Shit, Mike! Oh gosh you look terrible-" Sam says. "Gonna look worse if we stay out here... come on!" Mike rushes out. Sam grabs a rock off the ground and uses it to smash the door. She reaches her hand in the hole and unlocks the door from inside. "Okay... Mike... w-what happened to Josh?" Sam asks as we walk in. "It got him." I gasp in surprise. "Oh god, what an awful way to go." Sam voices my thoughts. Sam turns the light on but Mike turns it back off. "Not good." He says. "Good idea." I praise him. "What do you think we should do?" Sam asks.

"We should check the basement... might be someone left down there." We go through the cinema room on our way to the basement. "How do you rate our chances of survival?" Sam asks. "Slim." I answer honestly.

If Chris is dead:

Sam shoots me a sympathetic look. I pretend I don't see it.

If Chris is alive:

She looks at me likes she's surprised by my answer.

"I'm trying not to think about it." Mike answers.

If Chris is dead:

Ashley busts through the doors, screaming. "GO!! RUN!!" Emily pushes Ashley while she is running. "GO GO WE GOTTA GO!!" Emily screams. Emily runs out of the basement before Ashley. We look past them to see a wendigo.

If Chris is alive:

Chris bust through the door. "GET OUTTA HERE GO GOGO!!!" He is followed by Ashely and Emily.  "GO!! RUN!!" Emily pushes Ashley while she is running. "GO GO WE GOTTA GO!!" Emily screams. Emily runs out of the basement before Ashley. We look past them to see a wendigo. "RUN!!!" Mike shouts. I grab his hand, dragging him with me as a I go. I drag him to the main floor, where the others stand still. Oh yeah, and a bunch of fucking wendigos run about. Sam runs up behind us, stopping at the sight. "Don't... move... don't fucking move a muscle..." Mike warns quietly. Sam stares at the Wendigo in fear, but doesn't move. The wendigo snarls.

The wendigo, who recognize to be Hannah from the butterfly tattoo, notices the other wendigo's movements. Hannah and another wendigo battle. Hannah quickly overpowers the other wendigo and throws him into the stairs, breaking them, and then to the fireplace, breaking a gas pipe in the process. The wendigo recovers and climbs up the wall, Hannah following. Mike looks at the leaking pipe, then at a light bulb, then back at the pipe, then to the light switch near the exit. He looks at me. It'll be okay. He mouths. I nod in agreement.

A wendigo approaches Hannah, who throws another wendigo away. The wendigo goes to the railing of the upper floor and both wendigos jump at each other. Hannah grabs the other wendigo by the head and smashes him to the ground, then swiftly decapitates him. I purposely make the floorboards creak to give Mike an opening. Hannah shrieks in my ear. I resist the urge to flinch, not moving a muscle. I see Mike slowly walk to the light bulb. Mike grunts as he squeezes the light bulb so it breaks. Having heard the noise, Hannah turns her attention to Mike's direction. Don't. He mouths to me, but ignore it. "Hey!" Hannah whirls around. She stalks towards me, and I stay still. She shrieks, but I don't flinch. I notice Ashley exit the lodge, Emily backing up towards the exit while the wendigos are distracted.
