Never Found

Chapter-1

Wills POV

How long had it been? I thought, it'd been a while since I'd gone missing huh? it'd been a while since I'd seen my family I don't even really remember what they look like I even forgot my brother's name all there is is a distant memory of his and mom's voices that I can hear so clearly in my head but there faces they're just distant blurs in my mind it'd been a while since I'd seen my best friends I don't even really remember what they look like either or their names it'd also been a while since I'd spoke to an actual human being?

Is what swarms my mind every time I wake up in this dim world that looks, so much like my own a small breeze passed through as I thought back to before I was taken before I met Henry before walking with these strange creatures and them avoiding me became normal before my hair got this long before I was this tall

back when I was only a tiny 12-year-old boy playing a stupid game in my friend's basement until 12 biking home and never seeing them again who would've thought? Just staying a little longer to play a stupid game could ruin your life a stupid game you can't even remember

but there's nothing I can do about that. so I start getting ready for the day if you could even call it that all it is is darkness there's only one way to tell when the sun is up and that's when every street light turns off I know how long I've been here 1460 days I've been counting hoping to at least see one of my friends again hoping for someone to find me and take me home but we all know that won't happen so instead of sulking I go for walks.

I finally got the strength to get up and put on a new outfit I grabbed a jacket in case it got cold even though it's always cold here but when you've been here so long you get used to it I put my hair in a ponytail to keep it out of my face it's getting hard to manage it's gotten so fluffy and curly over the years it's up to my neck almost shoulder length now it's been a while since I cut it I try to take care of it as best as I can with the little supply I have here but it works for me I put the hoddie of the jacket over my head and walked out of the small abandoned house I called mine

I made sure my knife was in my pocket I know I don't need it but it helps me feel safe and began my walk as I walked I thought of everything that came to mind sometimes it would be the most random things then serious then some things I found funny sometimes during my walks I encounter crawlers that's what I call the creatures that walk on all fours there honestly really annoying if you look their way they jump at you even if you didn't even know they were there, of course, they ignore me and continued on their walk they stopped trying to attack me two years ago when I met Henry they started ignoring me five months before

I came to a halt when I heard a rustle in the trees I know its probably just a crawler but something wanted me to walk over and check but I fought against it. my mind was like that sometimes once I even thought I saw a girl walking around the old middle school I went to I thought I was finally going insane though I'm surprised I even still have my sanity I've noticed it's a hard thing to keep here

I continued on my walk not even acknowledging the shadow I saw following close behind me it was strange for the creatures to follow me around but it wasn't new but what made my skin crawl and almost brought me to a halt was a voice it was almost a whisper but loud enough for you to hear I thought Henry was trying to talk to me in my head again but I looked back to the shadow and one became four I continued my walk trying to decide what I should do I swore to myself I'd never kill again but right now this was life or death and I won't be killed in a place like this

I took a deep breath and stopped walking I was scared to turn around it's been four years since I last saw another human being but who was saying they were human? I was just getting my hopes up but a part of me wished I turned to see four people standing before me to say I was shocked was an understatement I almost cried in happiness knowing there was a way out but Henry could always be playing with my mind and I hate when he does that
