(Light in this Hellish World) Lisa Garland x Male Reader | Dead By Daylight

Chapter 9

(Y/N) woke up having left the dream behind him, he found himself back in the Entity's realm. Next to him, slept Lisa who was still asleep snoring softly as she nuzzled close to his body. The sight caused him to chuckle. "Travis, you're one lucky guy. I really wish I could see that side of her..." Muttering quietly to himself, (Y/N) gently strokes Lisa's hair and hums a melody. "Enjoy your slumber, my Actress." (Y/N) said softly and leaned in lightly kissing Lisa's lips before heading out. Exiting the tent, (Y/N) couldn't help but smile to himself, even though he had mixed feelings. While he was happy to find out about the Trucker's identity as way as another side of Lisa, he still felt somewhat down she never acted bold and flirty around him. Quickly dismissing the thought, deeming it from the past, he focused on the present. And right now, he really wanted to hang out with his close buds.

Arriving at the campfire, he caught sight of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Kennedy."Hey guys wassup?" (Y/N) said as he sat down by the campfire. Looking over at Chris, he noticed him in a foul mood. "What's his deal?" (Y/N) questioned as Jill patted Chris's back "Nothing too serious, Chris is just bothered at the fact his sister got sent to a trial with Steve." Jill chuckles and slaps Chris's back playfully. "Keep making that face and it'll stay that way, overprotective big brother~" Jill joked as Chris grunted and moved her hand away. "Not in the mood Jill..." Chris shook his head as Leon tried to calm him down.

"Take it easy Chris, you're going about this the wrong way. Claire is free to talk to whoever she wants-" Leon stopped trying to reason as Chris looked at him in anger. Leon backed away done attempting to convince him. "Christ, I'm glad I don't have you as a brother. Meddling too much into your sister's life, I wonder what your reaction would be if she got up in your business." Leon smirked as he imagined Claire acting as the overprotective sibling. (Y/N) chuckled finding the situation humorous. "You still don't trust Steve around Claire. Do you Chris?" He said "No point in asking (Y/N). You already know my answer to that question. I don't trust that Harrington, it's obvious he's a flirt who only cares about getting laid." Chris spat. "Glance alone, it seems that way, however, I differ. Cmon Chris, there's more to Steve than just that stereotypical jock appearance. Yeah, he might have been like that, but still, he's changed. From what I heard, Steve is a big brother figure to some kid... I think his name is Dustin... yeah Dustin. Plus he looks after five, or six... darn I forgot how many kids he looks after and protects from the upside down... then again I dozed off during his storytime. Ahem, the bottom line is Steve's a great guy, somewhat of a dork with his cheesy pickup lines, but nonetheless a good man. Maybe if you got to know him better, you'll see what I mean." (Y/N) said

Soon enough Claire came back with Cheryl and Mikaela. Seeing them Chris jolted from his seat and rushed to her. "Claire, are you okay? How did it go?" Chris asked in a concerned tone. "I'm fine Chris, I managed to escape with the others. Listen I can't talk right now, I need to go check on Steve." Claire said hurriedly as (Y/N) raised a brow. "What happened?" He asked "We were at the end of the Trial with Nemesis closing in on me. That's when Steve jumped in front taking his attention away from me. Unsuccessfully it led to him getting hooked and with the endgame growing near to collapsing... we had no choice but to leave and allow Steve to be sacrificed." Claire felt anguish bottling up inside of her, she couldn't believe something like this would happen on her watch. "Guess Steve isn't so bad..." Chris muttered under his breath.

Meg came out of her tent. "Meg, how is he?" Claire asked "Right now Claudette is patching Steve up. He's in a lot of pain, so. I recommend giving him time to recover. What do you expect from someone who got sacrificed? The experience isn't pleasant." Meg shuddered as she remembered the dark claws stabbing her body as they lifted her up, the memory alone brought back some PSTD. "You can still go check on him, Claire. I'm sure Steve would like having you around as he recovers." She said "I think I'll take that offer. I do want to thank him for saving me." Bidding farewell to her friends. Claire makes her way to Claudette's tent to check on Steve. Mikaela went back to her tent while Cheryl sat by the campfire. Hearing about her entering the realm alongside Pyramid Head, (Y/N) was eager to discuss about Silent Hill with her. Although a gut feeling said not to as there was a possibility the events were traumatizing. That and there was a strange aura about Cheryl, something about this teenage girl. Definitely not ordinary, she appears to have a supernatural power. Regardless it didn't matter since (Y/N) felt himself being taken into a Trial with Chris.
