;? Chapter 19

"Liar..you lied.." Ashlyn weakly said "I..hate you."

He started to tear up, not because of her words. Because he didn't want her to die, she's the only person he has in this world right now and he couldn't afford to lose her.

"Ashlyn stay awake-Ashlyn please!" He sobbed cupping her cheeks and holding her hand. He stumbled while standing up, looking around for something that will help him. He saw a med kit lying around the ground. "Stay with Ashlyn I found-"

He was about to get the medkit when he felt a hand around his ankle, he looked down and almost screamed by the sight. It was Tyler holding his ankle, his guts were spilling out, his eyes showed nothing but emptiness.

"Why did you abandon us." Tyler's voice was weak but anger was in his tone.

"I-I didn't I swear!" His voice quivered "Stop saying that-Id never abandon you guys!"

"Then explain this." His world soon turned dark, it was nothing but an empty dark space. The bodies of his friends were infront of him, all lifeless and unresponsive.

"Because of you we died." Tyler's voice raised.

"No..nonono.." He covered his ears, trying to avoid Tyler's voice.

"Because of you our family is worried." Tyler didn't stop.

"Stop..please-" he pleaded, his knees going weak before kneeling to ground.

"Because of you," He felt a hand on his chin before being forced to look up to Tyler's dead empty eyes. "We're nothing but memories to the people we love."

"AAAAHHHH!!!" He screamed out of fear, sitting up quickly. He felt arms surround him, trying to communicate with him.

"M/n-M/n!" Maverick called out, holding him by his shoulders. Nothing but pure worry was apparent on his face. "Hey hey, calm down it's just me. You're safe.."

He teared up before hugging Maverick, burrying his face onto his chest. His breathing was unsteady, body trembling. Maverick stayed stiff for a while, a bit shock by how M/n initiated the contact first instead of him. He snapped out his thoughts before wrapping his arms around his body. His hand scratching his scalp soothingly.

"Shh..It's fine, you're fine..you're safe." He muttered, rubbing his back as a way to comfort him. "I won't let anyone hurt you."

"..What are we supposed to do in this situation..?" Daniel questioned, both him and Jessica were still horrified by what happened by the window.

"..I suppose we can start by believing them." James, Logan's grandfather, spoke.

"Believe them?" Jessica questioned him.

"It's a hard pill to swallow, but we all saw what happened a moment ago." James stated "To try and pretend we didn't would make us some pathetic parents, wouldn't you agree? If everything they've said is true, then those kids have gone through hell together. In surprised they've lasted this long on their own."

The group of adults stayed silent, still tense after what happened. The newfound information,finding out their children is going into some demon dimension,those mosnters that appeared by the window and then disappearing. It was all so new and so confusing for them, but at the same time..how hard it would've been for the kids to go through something like that too.

"..but given what they've told us so far..are we even able to help?" Naomi questioned. "And why are we just now starting to see the same things?"

"Those are are the big questions, aren't they? What's our course of action from here?" Emma wondered.

"What do you mean M/n got kidnapped?!" Tyler asked Aiden, who flinched by the sudden raise of tone.

"He got kidnapped obviously." He joked lightly, he was both scared and worried for M/n truly.

"Ugh-stop taking this so lightly! Did you guys do something about it??" Tyler asked.

"I think Ashlyn's dad already filed a report, but we don't have much information so far. Ashlyn knows more about this-" Aiden tried answering Tyler's questions before getting interrupted by the door opening. "Ah, speak of the devil."

Ashlyn entered with a look full of worry. She took a breath before walking up to Tyler.

"..I'm sorry." Ashlyn apologized, Tyler looked suprised before looking away from her.

"Not your fault." He muttered "..so stop acting mopey, carrot-top." Tyler said, Ashlyn stayed silent after hearing the nickname he gave.

"What." Ashlyn questioned.

"Your hair is orange, so I'm calling you carrot-top from now on." Tyler stated.

"No. You aren't." Ashlyn denied the nickname.

"Too late, already made you my mind." The group laughed as the two argued.

"So..anybody gonna explain why M/n got kidnapped?" Tyler asked, Ashlyn looked at the floor while rubbing the back of her neck.

"When me and dad went to check on him in his house, he wasn't there. The house a mess, it looked like he put up a fight with them." Ashlyn explained, Tyler looked at the bowl of food infront of him. His eyebrows were furrowed, mouth pressed into a thin line.

"Does that mean..he could be in the same state as me before I woke up." Tyler stated, worry pooled around his gut.

"That's what I'm worrying about, if the people who kidnapped him doesn't know about the situation we're in. It's gonna be dangerous for M/n's health." Ashlyn said, Taylor fiddled with her fingers.

"What if..I don't know what if he's dead-" Taylor questioned, clearly not liking that idea but it seemed logical.

"No." Ashlyn quickly denied the idea, Taylor flinched by the harsh tone. "I..I'm sorry Taylor, but I highly doubt he's dead..death avoids him like a plague."

"What do you mean by that?" Logan questioned.

"I'll explain later, for now we need to focus on Tyler and our next plan." Ashlyn stated.

M/n stared at the chessboard infront him, dozing into wherever. That is until Maverick snapped his fingers a few times to catch his attention.

"M/n you still haven't made your move yet." Maverick spoke softly.

"Oh uh-right.." he looked at the board infront of him, everything was so blurry and moving all the time he couldn't focus on the game. He just sighed and pushed the board away from him. "I don't think I can continue the game.."

Maverick stared at him for a while before sighing, grabbing the board before putting it away. He looked at M/n who was hugging his knees while avoiding eye contact, he thought for a moment before sitting on the bed beside M/n.

"I'm guessing you don't wanna discuss what happened yet?" He questioned, M/n nodded. ".. I'll stay here for a while then."

"You don't have to, you're probably busy with other stuff-" he tried to tell him.

"Hah, it's not like they can do anything about it." He laughed a little. "..I'd rather stay here than go to my office. It's a bit boring there."

"..please.." M/n muttered, Maverick turned his head towards him.

"Please what?" He questioned.

"..please don't leave me again.." he pleaded in a weak voice, Maverick knew this might've been the aftermath after that terrible dream of his. After a few hours he'll go back to self reserved and guarded self, but he still wanted to reassure him.

"I won't, I won't leave you again like last time." He said, silence engulfing the room before he felt a weight on his shoulder, he turned his head to see that M/n felt asleep on his shoulder. "..I promise."

A/n: wow, two chapters in one day!
