;? Chapter 9

"Alright now that that's over, I wanna show you guys something." Ashlyn said

"Am I seeing this right?" Tyler questioned, Ashlyn hovered ontop of the table, showing her shadow that had short hair.

"Woah that's pretty rad-" Aiden said while holding her braid

"Let go before I break your arm." Ashlyn threatened

"Ha..another mystery.." Taylor sighed

"This might have something to do with why injuries from the phantom dimension don't transfer over to our dimension." Logan suggested

"Speaking of injuries, how are you holding up?" Ashlyn asked

"Oh, um..it kinda feels like I have a rash and it's pretty sore. Like I've been doing sit ups or something. But it's nowhere near as painful as it was last night." Logan explained, Ashlyn nodded before looking at Ben and Aiden

"And what about you guys? What happened?"Ashlyn asked

"Ah-right. That. Ya sure you want me to tell em?" Aiden asked Ben who typed something on his phone and put it on speech.

"It's best to have these types of things out in the open if we're going to be a team." Ben typed

" 'These types of things'? " Taylor questioned

"But I'm putting my earbuds in until Aiden's done." Ben plugged his earbuds before sitting down beside M/n and held his hand and gripped it lightly. M/n rubbed circles on his hand and looked at Aiden worryingly.

"Ight well, that's that then." Aiden shrugged "He is right though, it's probably best to let you guys know before you accidentally set him off or something."

"..set him off?" Ashlyn questioned

"Yup, but...this conversation doesn't go outside of this group. Understood?" Aiden threatened them

"..okay." Everyone except Tyler said

"Don't tell me what to-" Taylor quickly pinched Tyler on his arm as a warning "Ow!f Fine.."

(I have to skip this part because it genuinely hurts seeing Ben go through something like that, especially since he's my favorite character in the comic.)

M/n listened with wide eyes, he still can't believe people like that exist in this world. So cruel and evil to do something like that, Ben didn't even do anything he was just doing something he loves. M/n calmed down a bit before giving a reassuring squeeze, he needed to focus on Ben for now and not his anger.

"Ight bud, ya can turn off the music." Aiden said while patting Ben's shoulder, silence filled the table.

"Alright, let's move in then-" Ashlyn tried to continue, not knowing whether to say something about the story or not. Thankfully Taylor decided to step in.

"Thanks Ben. For letting Aiden share that with us, I mean. You don't even know us that we'll, but felt like we should know as a team. I'm sure it wasn't easy...so I just wanted to let you know that it was appreciated." Taylor said, giving him a smile

"Yeah, we'll try and avoid things that will set you off. Thanks for trusting us with this information, we won't take advantage of it." M/n gave Ben a reassuring smile, Ashlyn looked at M/n with a slight shock face. She thought something like this was gonna trigger his anger but he seemed to control it well in the current situation..

Ben was quiet before looking at the table and nodding with a slight blush on his face.

"Ah-sorry, Ashlyn! I didn't mean to interrupt you.." Taylor apologized

"Huh? No, it's alright. I also agree that it was considerate of Ben to let us know." Ashlyn reassured

"M-me too.." Logan said

"Yeah." Tyler came next

"Um..it's a little off topic-but I think I have a theory of what happened in Savannah." Logan said "Well-er, not exactly 'what happened' but how we went from Savannah, Georgia, all the way back here to alto, Georgia on the second night."

"Right..that's something we've been stuck on for a while." Ashlyn said

"After we left Savannah, instead of us returning to the motels on the second night, we woke up in our beds back home. Which didn't make sense once we figured out that we always return to where we were previously in the phantom dimension." Logan continued "We all ended up having to hide ourselves as best as possible until things were safe again. This whole situation has been a disaster, but the first few nights were particularly brutal.."

M/n could remember his experience clearly, a phantom almost caught him actually when he went to get his phone. That thing was inside his house, he was lucky enough to survive that experience.

" That's when we realized that whatever was happening at night wanst a fluke and it wasn't going to stop." Logan said

"So what's the theory?" Tyler asked

"Well..because of how our injuries work in relation to each dimension, I think the bodies we use here and use in the dimension are seperate but also connected. So, if they are connected in some way.." Logan continued "What if there's a distance limit?"

A/n: decided to skip school today, my stupid ass school still thought it was a good idea for us to still come to school despite the power interruption. It's blazing hot this summer here so if I went there I probably would've gotten a heatstroke. I mean I wouldn't mind getting a heatstroke, maybe my fucking school will learn to know that this is serious situation but my mom is not risking my health.

Also sorry if I didn't post two chapters yesterday, I was a bit busy and I didn't have time. I'll try to post more again.
