A Qᴜɪᴇᴛ Pʟᴀᴄᴇ [ Marcus Abbott x Reader ]

Chapter 20

I groaned in pain as I held a hand to my head. My head was pounding and it felt as if it were bleeding. I removed my hand to see a red liquid flow over my fingers.

"Well that confirms it." I said, pushing my body off of the sand and into a sitting position. I stared at the ground for a few minutes, trying to register what had happened. It was still dark and I couldn't see much, but I could hear laughing and clapping in the distance.

' probably my brain playing tricks ' I thought. I looked around, trying to find my torch but instead, I saw lights already lit. In the distance, I heard noise and saw lights.

' we,, made it to the island ' I questioned myself..

' surely not ' I paused before thinking it through. Excitement began to take over my emotions as I struggled to stand.

"We made it to the island!!" I said out loud.

"Marcus look!! We made it to-" I cut myself off, looking around for the boy who's name I called. When I didn't see him, my heart sunk. He didn't make it?..

Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I kept thinking the same thing over and over again.

' Marcus and Regan are gone '

I trudged up the hill, holding the side of my head with one hand and my stomach with the other. Pain shot throughout my whole body when my hand brushed something on my stomach. I looked down, instantly regretting it. The pocket knife I used to cut the rope was currently lodged in my belly. It must have happened when I got pulled into the water. I cried in agony as I tried my best to walk towards the people on the island. I brought my hands Infront of my eyes to see nothing but blood pour from them.

' I must look like shit ' I laughed to myself as I fell onto my knees. I tilted my head as I saw a few people rush over to me.

" Oh god, are you okay? " One of them asked.

Obviously not.

" We need to get her to the Doctor " Another one of them shouted.

" She must be with the other two " A beautiful woman said.

Wait what?! Other two?!

More and more people began to rush over to me. I tried with all my strength to stay awake, but failed miserably as my ears started to ring and my vision blurred. I felt my body lift off of the cold grass right before darkness consumed me once more.

Marcus POV

The smell of salt filled the air as I sat on the beach. Regan was still unconscious beside me as I kept her head propped up on my leg. The last thing I remember was pulling [y/n] into the water and then that's it. I don't know if she made it to the island, or if she's even still alive but..

I can only hope.

My thoughts were interrupted when I felt Regan shift on my leg. She slowly sat up as she gained full consciousness.

"Where are we?" She signed.

"The island." I signed back.

"Well what are we waiting for? Lets wake [y/n] and go meet them!" She signed in a hurry.

I looked away from Regan and back to the sand. It wasn't until I felt liquid on my cheeks until I realised I was crying. I noticed Regan look around a bit before making me look up at her.

"Maybe she's already with everyone else." She signed.

"And what If she's not?" I signed lazily.

"Well then we look for her, but we need to make a start somewhere." She signed.

I just nodded and helped her stand. We slowly made our way up to the people. Many of them were around a campfire, whereas some of them were at a barbecue. There were several kids running around the place and there was lots of laughter. It honestly made me smile. As soon as we were in sight, several people rushed over to us.

"So kid, how did you make it over to the island?" A tall dark man asked as he approached me. He sat on the log next to Regan and I and handed us some blankets.

"We, were on the docks and these people.. they must have made too much noise and the Death Angels attacked. So the three of us jumped into the water and then.. ended up here." I shrugged as I spoke. Not truely believing myself.

"The three of you? Where's the other?" The man asked.

"[y/n].. I thought she was with you but.. I guess she,, didn't make it." I mumbled as my voice began to break.. it hurt so much to even think that she was dead.

The mans face softened as he stood up from next to me.

"Well, I'm sorry about your.. friend?"

"Girlfriend." I bluntly stated as tears flowed from my eyes.

"I truely am sorry. But your here now." He said.

I just hummed a response and looked back towards the fire. I felt Regan move closer as she tried to comfort me. As soon as the man left, a woman approached us.

"I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't help but hear what you said- " the woman was fidgeting with her fingers as she spoke. " -did you say a girl named [y/n] was with you?" She asked.

I immediately looked up at the woman when she said [y/n]'s name.

"Yeah,, but.. what's it to you?" I asked, standing from the log.

"Well.. uh.." The woman trailed off.. she was clearly avoiding what she was going to say.

"Forget it, I have to go." She said before turning on her heel and walking away from the fire.

I reached for her arm to pull her back.

"No, you tell me now. What the hell is [y/n] to you?" I asked, only this time more forcefully.

The woman turned to face me and sighed.

"I'm her mother."
