Rim of the World (Gabriel X Reader) *discontinued*

Chapter 6

A hand suddenly slams against the edge of the capsule, causing us all to jump. Then a woman in just a white vest top and shorts attempts to get out. We all grab hold of her and help her.

"Come on get her out!"

"I thought space was supposed to make you weightless," Dariush stupidly said.

"We aren't in space dumbass!" I glared at him. He was really pushing my buttons.

Everyone helped to get her out, she looked like an... astronaut?

"Where am I?" She asked, holding her stomach in pain.

"You're in Rim of the World adventure camp!" Alex answered.

"This is a camp?"

"Yeah, I was disappointed too but..." Dariush said.

She squinted her eyes shut, "No, no the co-ordinates are all wrong! Pasadena... Dr Feilding," Then she eventually yelled, "JPL!" Alex seemed to know what she meant...

"The Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It's part of NASA!"

"Try not to move as much, okay?"

The woman looked at something behind me and quickly turned to Alex, "Take this to JPL, Dr Feilding, it has everything on it," she hands him a necklace and pulls him in close, "go!"

I look behind me to see an alien like creature forming from the black sticky stuff that was on capsule.

"Go!" She yelled again.

"You'll die if we leave you here!" I shout, but she shouts back, "We'll all die if you don't!" We start making a run for it, to another one of the buildings of the camp, my legs burn. I'm usually quite athletic, but I've never ran this fast before.

"Was that an alien?" Dariush shouts from behind.

"Just move your asses! Go, now!" I answer, gesturing to the door. I hold it open as they all run in but Alex is still stood there. Gabriel runs back, grabbing Alex.

"It has a dog!" He yells.

"Wait, how big was it? Was it puppy size cause maybe it just wants to cuddle?"

I stand in the doorway in utter shock, I feel like I can't move. I feel two arms wrap around me and drag me behind a kitchen counter. It's Gabriel. He moves his finger to his lips telling me to stay quiet.

I hear Dariush yelling, "Oh I don't think it wants to cuddle!" He is the last to come and hide. Gabriel and I bump into Alex and Zehn Zehn, we are all hiding now. From the other side of the room, I hear several pieces of cutlery smashing onto the ground. Shit Dariush. Zehn Zehn finds an opening on the wall and the large dog looking alien suddenly comes face to face with us four. We dodge out of the way and Zehn Zehn turns the handle which closes the opening.

"Come on, let's go!" Gabriel says and we all climb out the window in the corner of the kitchen.

Alex and Zehn Zehn go in the opposite direction from Dariush, Gabriel and I. We find wooden stairs that we can hide under and Gabriel pulls me closer to him, covering my mouth. I soon notice I'm sitting on his lap, usually at a time like this I would have gotten extremely embarrassed, but there was no time for that. The creature was right next to us. After the alien thing had gone, Gabriel carefully grabbed onto my waist and lifted me off him. I mumbled a quick 'sorry' and he grabbed onto my hand, squeezing it tight, not making eye contact, not once.

"Come on we have to help them!" Gabriel whisper-shouted to both me and Dariush.

"And die too? No thanks." Dariush whispered back.

"Just come on," Gabriel said back. I went first, crawling back from under the stairs.

"You alright?" Gabriel said to me, and I nodded my head whilst helping him out.
