MIKES POINT OF VIEW

The mines are a scary place, nearly shit myself just coming down here. But the cablecar needs to start and nobody else is going to do it but me. I have to protect my friends, it's all I know how to do.
God.. my ribs ache, my back feels as if it's going to collapse and my feet burn with every other step I take. What time was it? I'm not keeping track, but it's been a while. Is.. Is it dawn?
I gave a quick look over my shoulder, it's to late to come back now.. these sanatorium tunnels are a death maze, I finally escaped through that back exit with Sam just half an hour ago.. but, I lost her. Yes, I know it's dumb! We were walking together but then this dumb.. bridge- thing, collapsed! And she got stuck on the other side.
Sam couldn't jump over, so I reassured her she'd be fine, and that we'd meet up soon... but now? I've been walking for ages.
"Sam?" I called out, cupping my hands to my mouth to amplify my echo, "Sam, can you hear me?!"
No response.
My echo was the primary source of.. well, everything. As that sound faded away, it was a reminder that my voice probably couldn't even reach her. Where were my friends?
I moved my hands over to my eyes now, rubbing them gently, "Damn it, Micheal! Don't cry.. you're better than this.. you're going to find them and you'll be okay."
Deep breaths weren't helping, I soon found myself leaning on the back of one of the walls in the mines, falling backwards and landing on my rear, grunting in pain.
I ran my hands through my hair, I was completely lost..
A noise thunder faintly in the distance, I looked over to see a light shining, and a figure.
"Sam?" I whispered, quickly standing up, "Whos over there?!"
The person got closer, they pushed up their glasses and smiled like a dork. It was Chris!
"Mike, Jesus christ what happened to you, man? You look.. beat."
"Chris, I'm so glad to see you!"
"Yeah- me to man, what the fuck is going on around here?"
I stood up quickly, grabbing chris and pulling him in for a quick hug, "I thought I've lost everyone.. do you know where the group is?"
"No, actually.. I saw Ashley about an hour ago, her head.. she-"
"Fuck.."
The wendigo had gotten to her. Mike could feel the pain sting in his heart, that was one more friend he had lost.
"Chris, you're not leaving my side, okay?" I asked, shaking the man gently to get my point through.
"I don't want to get separated anymore, man. Of course I'll stick with you." Chris nodded.
"Good. We need to find Josh or.. or even get back to the lodge. It's nearly morning, I messed up by bringing you guys down here, it's my fault. I could have prevented Ashley's death and-"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chris cut me off, wrapping his arms around me, "Don't talk that way, nows not the time. All that matters is that.. me and you get out of here safely, alright?"
"Right.. Fuck, I'm a mess, Chris. I'm sorry you have to see me like this."
"Don't apologize, Mike.. You're my best friend, I'll never judge you. Ever."
