Until Dawn - Your Story

Decision - You Show Mike Your Rough Side

Decision - You Show Mike Your Rough Side

"Mike, put the gun back on the table", there is no reason anymore to be nice. The situation is really serious now. You are responsible for your friends and you would do everything to keep every single one of them safe even if you have to be harsh. He glares at you with narrowed eyes for a brief moment.

"You defend him? What the hell is wrong with you? This psycho is crazy and dangerous. He killed Jessica!", Mike can't hold back his anger and points at Josh. There are just blanks in his guns. You know that all of you have to work together if you want to survive until dawn. "I swear I didn't want to hurt her", Josh joins the conversation.

"Shut up! That's just your fault!", Mike wants to punch Josh, but you step into his way. "No, it's not. Mike, listen to me for a second and I'll explain you what's going on", unfortunately he doesn't want to listen. Before he can push you out of his way you pull out the gun from your belt.

"My bullets are real. No blanks." Even if the situation is intense and dangerous right now you enjoy the shocked expression on Mike's face. He takes a step back immediately. Sam, Chris and Ashley look as terrified as Mike. A sigh escapes your mouth. "Don't look at me like I'm crazy. I just try to save your lives if one of you would listen to my words", you try to knock some sense into their heads. Especially into Mike's.

Sam raises her arms in defense and takes a little step closer. "Please, lower the gun", she tries to calm you down, but you are done with being nice. "I'm not going to hurt anyone. You should just listen to me, because I know what's going on out there", you reply calmly as possible. Chris nods slowly to show you he is listening. At least one of them.

"I know it sounds fucking crazy. You probably won't believe me, but there are ...uh... monsters in the forest and they are hungry most of the time. Fire is their worst enemy and if you see one of them don't move an inch or you are dead", you tell them just the half of the truth. This is probably already too much for your friends to believe.

Sam and Chris exchange a glance, while Mike fakes a laugh. "Oh my god! You are so funny! No, wait! You are crazy like Josh!", he exclaims applauding. A sigh escapes your mouth. That's what you have feared the whole time. "Yeah, laugh about me, but I'm the only one who knows how to kill the creatures and you will be so glad when I save your ass, Mike!", the anger in your needs a valve right now.

An uncomfortable silence appears between all of you. Every single one of them avoids eye contact with you except for Mike. "Do you really believe that there are monsters in the forest? Waiting for us to eat our flesh and drink our blood!", the grip from your fingers tightens around the gun in your hand. You won't admit it, but his words are hurting like hell.

"That's exactly what they are doing, but you don't have to believe me. Just go outside and yell. Maybe you survive five minutes", is your reply. "Can you give us a proof or something like that? It's really hard to believe something ... uh ... supernatural like this", Chris tries to neutralize the situation with a good question. Sighing you just shake your head slowly. "I can give you my word."

"I don't care about your monsters! You are fucking crazy! Josh is fucking crazy! You two are arrested until dawn then we call the police", Mike takes a step closer to you. "Says the man who has a gun pointed at him. Really brave, but you don't have to impress the ladies. They have other problems right now, lady-killer", Josh chuckles a brief moment behind you.

"Shut up, psycho!", Mike yells with his red head. "Listen, I swear that I just want the best for all of you. It's a hell of night, but I'm really trying to save your lives. You are my friends", you lower the gun to show them your seriousness. "Sweet, but we just need to lock the two of you away then we are safe until dawn. But I'm curious what is your next story, (Y/N)? Are you a fucking monster hunter?", apparently Mike can't stop to make you angry and hurt you at the same time.

"Uh... You probably wouldn't believe me either when I tell you what I do in my free time. Apart from this, it's not your business, buddy. I won't force you to keep you safe so I just take Josh with me. You all can do whatever you want", matching to you words you grab Josh's arm who is out of his mind mumbling random things.

At least he is following you like a lost puppy. That makes is a lot easier to keep him safe. "Hey! You can't leave us behind!", Ashley says her first words. With raised eyebrows you turn around to look at her. "Oh, I can. I won't stay here so our dear friend Mike can lock me and Josh in", everyone can hear the anger in your voice, but they don't see the sadness in your eyes.

"I hope you all survive until dawn. Maybe you all understand me better then", you feel really bad for leaving your friends behind. Without a further word you turn around to leave the basement with Josh by your side. "Mike!", Sam yells so you want to turn around worried just to feel something hard meets your head. You lose the balance and fall to the ground. "I'm so sorry", Mike mumbles next to your ear. Of course he would use his chance to get your gun.

"What have you done? You took it too far", Sam sounds really concerned. "You bastard!", it sounds like Josh, but you are not quite sure. "That's not right", Chris mumbles shocked. "I just try to keep us safe!", Mike exclaims. Ashley just whimpers. Finally the darkness wraps you up in its comfortable silence...
