Chapter 6: The Monster
Nancy!!
Y/N!!
You could hear Jonathan calling out. Nancy's screams for him were echoing through the air.
And you were stuck behind a tree with the creature breathing heavily on the other side.
When Nancy had stepped on the twig and caught the attention of the monster, she ran. Away from the danger. And deep down, you were relieved. But now the creature was stalking, looking for prey. And you knew why it didn't follow her.
You shifted your leg quietly, holding down a wince. Whatever had dragged you in here earlier had left a nasty claw mark on your leg. And it just started bleeding.
Nancy's voice rang out, louder this time, as she desperately tried to find Jonathan. You wished you could tell her that he wasn't here. At least, not in the same dimension as you. Nancy's scream caught the creature's attention and it ran off, searching for her.
"Shit." You breathed as you stood, your leg was bleeding more now. You quickly undid your scarf and wrapped it the best you could around your leg, tying it tightly. You just needed it to stop the bleeding enough for you to find Nancy and get out of here.
"Jonathan!"
You followed her voice through the woods, hearing Jonathan's echo every now and then.
The adrenaline was keeping you from keeling over from the pain, letting your legs take you as quickly as you could. The sounds that the creature was making only made you run faster.
You heard a gasp and turned your head, seeing Nancy run behind a tree with the creature stalking behind it. That was just you a few minutes ago.
Y/N! Nancy! Follow my voice!
You noticed light shining through the bottom of the tree just next to the one Nancy currently used as a shield. If she moved, it would definitely catch her. She turned her head when she noticed you, her eyes wide. You glanced between her and the creature. You took a deep breath and slowly raised your bat, nodding at her.
She shook her head aggressively, figuring out your plan. You only pointed to the gate. When she went to argue again, you let out a scream.
"Hey!" You yelled, its attention snapping towards you. Your mouth went dry. The creature roared, its face opening like a flower that held dozens of rows of teeth, blood still dripping from its earlier meal.
"Let's fucking do this." You said and you charged towards it, giving Nancy the distraction she needed to run toward the gate and try to crawl through.
Just as the creature swiped at you with its claw, you ducked, swinging your bat to hit it squarely in the legs and it toppled over, rolling in the leaves. You hid behind a tree and you heard it roar again. The gate was so close in front of you. You could still see the light coming through.
But Nancy was still trying to make her way through. The light was dim. It was starting to close. You had a limited time frame to get both Nancy and yourself through before it closed for good.
You grabbed a clump of twigs from the ground and launched them in the opposite direction from the gate. The action caused the creature to lunge away from you and you ran to Nancy, pushing her through. You could hear Jonathan's voice clearly on the other side, helping. You'd be hopeful if you also didn't hear the growl growing closer behind you. With one last shove, Nancy was back on the other side.
You sighed in relief and began crawling your way through too. You reached your arm out and felt hands pulling you through. Your head made it through the clearing and you could see Nancy's panicked face staring at you. Jonathan looked terrified and confused as he planted his foot on the side of the tree and pulled harder. You were almost there when a tight claw gripped around your bleeding leg and you screamed.
