【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ２】

The air was tense and awkward, despite the chatter and talking in the cafeteria. M/n sat in between Aiden and Ben as Yin sat in front of Ashlyn.

No one said anything, either too nervous or too tired. M/n gently rested his head on his hand, facing Aiden who was building a tower with the school lunch fries and nuggets.

M/n gently placed one of his fries on top of Aiden's tower without it collapsing which made the blond boy grin. "I think we should go back to Savannah."

Tyler's voice pierced through the awkward tension, making everyone in the group look at him. "I thought everyone agreed it was too dangerous?" Replied Logan, his voice meek and tame.

"So what? We're just suppose to let things stay like they are?" Tyler demanded. "I would rather be semi-stuck than permanent." M/n's reply slow and unsure, soft, since English it wasn't his first language.

"Maybe if you two told us the truth from the beginning, we wouldn't be stuck here!" Fumed Tyler. M/n gently tapped the table, knowing that Ty wasn't actually mad at him, just a bit frustrated.

Maybe he was mad at Ashlyn.

"We already explained why we didn't-" "Arent you one to talk?" Aiden's voice interrupted Ashlyn. "You're the one that brushed it off as a prank and walked it off." Spoke Aiden.

"If they had said anything, would you have even believed them?" Aiden gave a glare at Tyler. "With your personality, I seriously doubt it."

Tyler slammed his hands onto the table, shouting, making M/n flinch and jump. Aiden gently placed his hands to cover M/n's ears. M/n placed his hands on top of his.

"NOW WE'RE STUCK IN SOME DEMONIC DIMENSION, RUNNING AWAY FROM FLESH-EATING DEADLY CREATURES"

Tyler continued to yell until Ben slammed his fist into the table, startling the twins. M/n turned his eyes to him, seeing Ben place a finger to his lips, meaning 'shut the fuck up'.

Probably in a much nicer way.

Aiden gently removed his hands, M/n placing his hands down as well. Tyler paused, trembling as he calmed down. "If we don't go back to Savannah where this cycle begun... then what else are we supposed to do." His previously rough and loud voice was now soft spoken.

Everyone else was quiet, thinking about what Tyler had said. '[His outburst was annoying, but understandable.]' The boy thought.

"If we go, we could make things much worse or figure things out..." Yin added to the conversation, playing with her hair.

TWO WEEKS AGO

SLAP

"Fuck you!" M/n yelled at the older male. "What do you mean 'it was acc-i-dental'?! You sent me on a job where I could've died!"

Yin and Wonder sat down on the chairs in the office, silently laughing at the 26 year old male.

"It was a job-" "JOB MY ASS!" Interrupted the boy. "What would you have done if I had died?" M/n's voice was lower, more soft, making the older male panic. "Would you have taken in my brothers? Turn them into thieves and liars too?"
