New beginnings {Michael Afton x reader}

Chapter 4. The Secret in the Woods.

Y/n began looking around the trees as she began getting a feeling like she was being watched. Michael noticed she was gone after a few seconds of walking. He then began running looking for her. 

He called for her and got no response. When he finally looked in the forest behind the park, he heard a scream of help. He then ran to where he heard the scream. He ended up finding a small building that looked like something his father would work in.

He started walking slowly and quietly to hear more screams of help from behind the door. Michael tried opening the door but it was locked. He saw a piece of hard metal and began hitting the door with the metal.

He finally broke through the door and then he ran inside to find Y/n all bloody with a black shadow tearing through her skin. The lights were off as well so he couldn’t see who it was. There seemed to be no light switches on the walls that he could see. A man laughing was heard from another room, it sounded familiar to Michael.

A little too familiar.

“Oh my god. No…” Michael drops the piece of metal he used to break down the door. Y/n was helplessly laying against the wall, the blood still dripping from her body. It was difficult to tell, but Michael was pretty sure she still was alive. He quickly picked Y/n up and started running deeper into the forest, trying to gain as much distance from the building as possible.

Y/n slowly woke up. She felt the warmth of Michael’s arms holding her as he continued to run. After about another minute or so, they were completely lost. Michael couldn’t run anymore and finally put Y/n down near a big tree.

She had acted as if she hadn’t awoken yet, then opened her eyes to see Michael again. He was sweating, and breathing heavily. There were random cracks of sunlight within the trees, shining against the dirt ground.

Michael was still trying to catch his breath and wasn’t paying attention to Y/n. She felt bad knowing he had to save her or else she would’ve died, but she was confused on why he did come after her though. 

Y/n looked down at her clothes, they were pretty bloody. When she was in the building, a man appeared behind her and pressed a button. That button released a bunch of marble-sized spikes at her, leaving her to stumble and fall into the wall. It was weird how she survived. 

And then it hit her. She just been a victim of attempted murder.
