bad night

Y/Ns Pov:

I woke up.

There were weird sounds. Almost like squeaking but weirder.
And the sounds were getting louder and louder.

Like they were right next to me...
Like they would come to get me.

My hands were shaking.

I looked around, there were people sitting around campfire. I couldn't really tell who it was.
My whole body fought for me to stand up but I just couldn't do it.

Maybe I should accept my fate.
To die right here. Getting killed by something I didn't even see. My mind started to imagine what it would look like.

A big monster with sharp claws that would grab my head and squeeze it until it's mashed. The monster has sharp teeth that would dig into my flesh and eat me up. It's eyes were big and red.

Finally I could move again. I stood up, but I could really stand yet since my legs were shaking too so I sat down for a minute to get myself down to earth again.

But the sounds wouldn't stop.
krrrk krrrrk quieee

I fought my way to the campfire. Newt, Alby, Gally and Frypan. They looked stressed and concerned

"The sounds, what are those...", I asked them. "Sit down Y/N..." Alby said and pat a spot next to him.
"We don't know, we've never heard them before. They sound more aggressive then the other ones... I'm glad the others are sleeping. It sounds terrifying. They seem to be scratching at the gates and maybe in the morning they'll get in and kill all of us"

I just let it sink in. Gally stood up and paced around. Newt stared into the emptiness without a single muscle in his face moving. and Frypan was zoomed out.

Even though they didn't show it I still knew that see they wanted to scream, cry and die. So did I.  My hands were shaking again. I started to pace around too. All we heard was:

krrrk krrrrk quieee
krrrk krrrrk quieee
...

Over and over. Again and again. It didn't stop. I tried to cover my ears but I could still hear it. I sat down next to Newt. He still seemed like he was zoomed out. I studied his face. Newts left eye and mouth twitched a bit. He was completely lost in his thoughts. I asked him, "Newt?? Newt are you listening to me?" No answer. He was in his own world. Like he didn't wanna realize what going on.

We're going to die. These monsters are gonna kill us.

Newts POV

My mind is going insane.

"Alby!! WATCH OUT THE MONSTERS!"

" OH BLOODY HELL!!"

"RUN!!"

"Y/N?? WHERE'S Y/N?? AND CHUCK???”

"NOOO!!"

"RUN AND HIDE!!"

"THEY GOT ME NO"

"FIRE!!"

...

It's playing in my mind on repeat. There was this one time where the grievers were in the glade in the morning and we lost over 20 people back then. It was the hardest time to build up our little town again...

Alby isolated himself from everyone and refused to talk to anyone. He thought it was his fault that we lost them. That he didn't see it coming. No one did...

All we that happened was a greenie that went into the maze. He didn't return and the next day it happened. We lost half of our trees after a big fire. All that was left were ashes... We lost so many friends...

I don't want that to repeat.

Y/Ns pov

I was so tired but all I heard were those loud sounds. My eyes were closing by themselves but my mind was spinning. All possible scenarios.

If I'd fall asleep now I may never wake up again.
Maybe I'll die. Maybe others will die. Maybe it'll be over soon and they'll leave. Maybe the gates won't open. Maybe... So many maybes...

In the corner of my eye I saw Newt moving.  He stood up and walked towards the gates. I ran after him and asked "Newt what are you doing?"
"I don't know..."

He sat down in front of the walls and listened to the sounds. "What do you think?", Newt asked me. I thought for some moments. They were even louder and sounded painful. Like the monster was in pain.

"Newt... I think whatever those are they are in pain. It doesn't sound like a 'i will kill you' scream it's more like a 'it hurts so bad' ", I tried to brighten up the mood again. Newt lay down on the grass. I did the same and noticed the sky was clear. All the stars were shining and

He looked up to the sky and asked:

"You think there will be another morning for us?"

"Not just one. There are many more mornings for us to witness."

whatever happens afterwards is history.

(okay the next story will be one where they are already dating because I just realized I love leaving stories to dust on my phone😭😭).
