The Sarcastic and The Mute [Ben Clark x OC[A SBG story]]

[S1] Episode Twelve & Thirteen

Charlie's eyes shot open at the sound of a thud. She sat up and realised it came from Ashlyn's room.

"Tay, wake up." Charlie said, tapping her and standing up out of bed. "I think something's happening with Ashlyn, I heard a thud."

Both girls walked to their door and opened it before knocking on Ashlyn's door.

"Ashlyn? Are you okay?" Taylor spoke through the door before opening it.

Walking through the doorway, Charlie looked down at Ashlyn on the floor next to her bed. Charlie and Taylor's eyebrows frowned.

"Why are you on the floor?" Taylor said sounding very confused.

Charlie looked at the girl before focusing on her forearm, exactly where she thought she had seen the girl get scratched by the creature a few hours ago. "A, yeah, I'm fine. Just a nightmare."

Charlie's eyes widened at the multiple cuts that have appeared on Ashlyn's arm that weren't there before. "What happened to your arm?!"

Ashlyn looked down at her arm, her eyes only narrowing at the sight.

"A-Ah, we should get some, um, bandages?" Charlie said looking closer at the girls arm.

"Or the teachers?" Taylore suggested, "Do you need help up?"

"No, it's okay." Ashlyn shook her head, "I can get up but I might need some band-"

Ashlyn cuts herself off when she took off her blanket to revel a black figure with a creepily-wide smile.

The creature.

All three girls let out a scream at the sight as Ashlyn kicks it to get it to let go of her leg. She scrambled to get off the bed and join the two other girls by the door.

"I-Isn't that the thing from the Sorrel Weed place?" Taylor's voice came out shacky from the terror running through her vains.

Charlie grabbed both girls arms. "Whatever it is, we need to leave before it gets up." Her voice came out rushed as she pulled both girls out the bedroom door.

All girls ran into the main part of the motel room, Charlie's eyes immediately darting to the front door seeing it swing open to revel Tyler yelling his sister's name, followed by the rest of the guys. Taylor runs into her brother's arms.

"What's going on?!" Tyler said pulling his sister into his chest.

Ashlyn was the one to answer his. "Something's in the-" She's cut off, however, as the group all look towards the bedroom door to see the dark creature stalking through the doorway. Everyone stood frozen at the sight as Ashlyn whispered, "...Go-"

The ginger girl was cut off by the creature lunging at them causing them to rush to the door.

"-GO GO GO!"

They all rushed through the door and Aiden and Ben slam it shut, trapping the creature and leaving it scratch and scrape at the wood.

"W-What is this thing?" Logan asked shakily.

Unfortunately, Aiden was the one who answered, "According to Tyler, that would be the 'prank' from earlier today."

Charlie looked at the blonde boy's smile with a look that could only be percieved as 'What the actual fu-'

Aiden's words earnt a glare from the Hernandez boy.

"Wait, where is everyone?" Charlie said, noticing no one had come out of their rooms, which they should have from all the screaming.

"Actually, now that Char mentions it, it's kinda weird that no one at all has come outside after all the screaming and banging." Charlie nods at Aiden's explanation.

Charlie suddenly jumps a little at the sound of a door slamming, seeing Ben with his hand on the door handle making her relax a little from her shock.

"That could've been bad." Aiden chuckled causing Charlie and Ben to look at him shaking their heads.

"Could've?!" Tyler basically shreaked at the boy's comment, "Stop taking this as a joke! It's been bad! The sky is Red for crying out load!!"

Charlie looked to where the Hernandez boy was pointing to see the sky was, in fact, red.

Aparently, Aiden, however, decided he wanted to argue. "Well whining about it isn't gonna do anything."

"And laughing about it is?!"

He has a fair point there, Charlie thought. "Alright, enough the pair of you!" She shut down their arguement as she noticed Taylor peaking over the edge of the half-wall looking down at the ground floor of the motel.

"Guys..." The girl spoke up hesitently, "...Look down..."

The group all moved to look over the edge just as she had done, only to pull back immediately at the horrifying sight.

Creatures.

So. Many. More of them.

Charlie backed up before she hit into Ben's back, him still facing the girl motel room door holding to shut. She muttered a quick apolagy as the boy put his free hand on her sholder.

"How far away is your room?" Ashlyn asked all the boys, her eyes not looking away from the edge.

"About 5 or 6 doors down?" Aiden replied, slightly unsure.

Charlie turned to Ben's direction, hearing the creature behind the door still scratching at it. Ashlyn seemed to have noticed it too, as well as how Ben was still having to hold the door shut.

"Aiden, give me the string from your shorts." Ashlyn said as she untied her own jogger string.

"Kay?" Aiden said starting to do as she said, "Why?"

"I have an idea."
