Twisted

Chapter 2: Hey Munnie

Third Person

He could hear the voices. They whispered in his head. He didn't remember how he got to the control room, his mind was blank. He had memories from his past, from being a child, being ripped away from his mother and older brother. He had memories of growing up in W.I.C.K.E.D and he had memories of the scorch and the Flair. He vaguely remembered showing up in Homestead, he had to warn them...he had to tell all of them, they were in danger, especially Charlie. He had to keep her safe from Them. It was foggy, pieces drifted in and out of focus. 

But how he got from the Homestead to the control room, was a blank. The voices were whispering, he tried to ignore them, but they got worse; they got louder. 

"NO!" 

He could see Charlie in front of him, she was dirty, bloody and looked exhausted, she had tears running down her face. What happened? Thomas showed up beside her, he was always beside her. On the other side was... something, a shadow. It was huge with bloodied claws and wild dark demon eyes, its face was twisted in a grotesque way; it was going to hurt them, they couldn't leave! He had to save them...especial Charlie. The shadow seemed to grow, feeding off Charlie's fear and tears, he had to end it! He raised the gun that he had found. 

The monster was now whispering in her ear, the shadow smiled cruelly at Gally, he felt his fear increase. The wild voices in his head were screaming with wild glee. The Shadow loomed over Charlie, it was going to try and take her away, she was reaching for him. The shadow was going to rip her apart, devour her, feed off of her...he couldn't let that happen! He needed to save her, keep her safe. 

The voices were screaming louder, some where wild, some where cackling, some with wild mania, all noise was blocked. He pulled the trigger. He registered some chaos in front of him. And then pain. He registered the pain, it cut through the voices in inside his head, they went silent, the shadow monster was gone. Charlie...he dropped to his knees, all he could focus on now was the pain that ripped through his body. Falling to the floor he saw Charlie's beautiful crystal blue eyes. They looked sad and broken, they were full of pain. 

He heard screaming. Thomas was screaming, screaming for Charlie to wake up, but Gally's eyes had stopped working, everything was black, his hearing was fuzzy. Pain consumed him, it was cutting into his breathing. He finally let the pain take over and his body took mercy on him, and swallowed him into the darkness of nothing. The last thing he heard was Charlies name being screamed with so much pain it made his heart shatter into pieces.

He felt the gentle sway of movement. His entire body screamed in pain. He wished he would just pass back out. There was a wild jiggle in the movement, causing more pain to shoot through him. He let a groan out. 

"ZEE! He's waken up! HURRY THE HELL UP!" Someone screamed beside. Gally felt a hand on his shoulder, "Hold on Munnie! We're almost there!" 

"Shut it! I'm going as fast as this damn truck will go!" A deep voice snapped back.

Gally bagged his body to take him away. It hurt so much, the sharp burning pain, it ripped through him. His body finally listened and took him away. 

His mind woke up. It was the jolting, the sudden movement that made him wake up. He moaned. 

"Dammit! Come on guys!" A voice yelled, "He's already in pain, and dying! Lets hurry, but don't kill him!" 

"And why are we bringing a half dead kid into the camp?" 

"Found him in a W.I.C.K.E.D facility on our way back. He was still alive." 

"But that doesn't explain WHY, Soph!"
