Until Dawn Fanfiction: Matt X Female Reader

Chapter Five

Y/N's POV

"Y/N. Y/N. Wake up."

I open my eyes and Chris's face comes into focus. I'm about to ask Chris what's going on when I realize I'm gagged.

"I got you," Chris tells me, taking off the gag.

My vision blurs again and I sway. I've been drugged. This isn't good. 

I point at his huge bruise. "Chris, your head!"

He doesn't respond. I notice Chris is staring at the gag.

"Uhh, Y/N. There is something written on here for you."

Chris hands me the cloth that had been in my mouth as a gag earlier. In red are the words, "How does it feel to be drugged and speechless again this year?"

My face goes pale. 

"You think it's because you, Josh, and I were drunk when Hannah and Beth went missing?" Chris asks. 

I nod."It has to be. But what about the speechless part? Is he talking about us being drunk there too?"

Chris thinks for a minute. "Oh. Gosh."

"What?"

"I think that maniac knows about your crush on Matt or something. You did say that you kept your mouth shut when you wanted to tell him last year."

"That would make sense. I did call his name before he stuck that needle in my neck. But how did the maniac know about last year?"

Chris looks down. "He must have been there. Watching."

I shiver. "I don't like this."

"Me neither." Chris looks around. "And Ashley is gone."

I look around the room for the first time. He's right. Ash is nowhere to be seen.

Chris stands up. "We have to find her. If anything happens to her I..."

"Don't worry, Chris. We'll find her."

Chris gives me a weak smile and extends his hand to help me up. I only make it partway before landing on the floor again, unable to stand.   

I lean my head against the wall. "I can't do it, Chris. There was something in that needle besides sedatives. I can't. He probably drugged me and not you so I'd slow you down in getting to Ashley. You can't let him win. And... I hate feeling like I'd just hold people back..."

"I'm not leaving you. We shouldn't split up."

"Chris, you have to leave me. I can't walk."

Chris shakes his head before glancing nervously at the door. I can tell he knows time is running out. Then Chris's head snaps back in my direction. "Wait. I got an idea."

"What?"

"Get on my back."

I laugh. "What?"

"I'm going to get you on my back. Then you won't have to walk. Then we can find Ash without splitting up."

I know that we have to get to Ashley. I know Chris wants to get to her as soon as possible. I know I would be the same way if Matt were in Ashley's shoes. 

So I agree. "Let's try it. But if I'm slowing you down you have to leave me."

"You won't slow me down." Chris turns around and squats by me on the floor. "Put your arms around my neck. I'll stand up slowly and then you get your legs around my waist."

I put my arms around his neck. "Got it. Ready?"

"Yup. Standing up."

Chris slowly stands up and I wrap my legs around his waist as soon as I can so I don't strangle him from behind.
