Terrors in Subnautica(Complete)

Part 18: Problems Uncovered

Chase's POV

I sigh heavily as Felix watches me expectantly, I really hope telling them about this doesn't make anything worse.

"So Tessa started excessively flirting with me pretty immediately after getting here.. and it was becoming an issue when trying to accomplish anything. I decided I needed to have a talk with her about it so I knocked on her door the other night and she had me come in to talk."

At this point everyone is quietly listening to my story, very aware of how it could end. It's making me a little nervous.

"Before I could really start talking she started going on and on about feelings and she brought sex into the conversation and I got really uncomfortable really quickly. It was about this time I heard N/N coming over to see what was going on."

I pause to gather my thoughts, I really hope they don't think I'm making any of this up.

"When I told her I wasn't interested she threatened to scream and act like I'd assaulted her. Started talking about having everyone hate me and shun me so I'd be alone out here.. And memories of my mother started overwhelming me. I could barely speak"

Everyone became visibly upset at that statement, Felix physically tensing up. Even Sam seems to be uneasy about it.

"Just before she made the threat N/N came in quietly behind her and heard everything. When I told her no she tried to grab me but N/N announced her presence demanding she stop. She was surprised and about to try and trick her into what she'd planned to tell everyone, but thankfully N/N wasn't having any of it."

I hadn't realized how badly this whole things had really upset me, just talking about it is making my eyes water and my body shake.

"When she asked what we were gonna do N/N said 'Nothing for now' explaining that we need everyone's combine effort to survive right now and that more stress and drama wouldn't help right now. And honestly that would have probably made me nervous she might try again save for the fact that she immediately followed it with.."

I swallow hard remembering the steeled and vicious look on N/N's face when she gave her threat, she might be my friend but she definitely isn't someone to fuck with. For a quiet kind woman, she can be utterly terrifying.

"Followed with what?" Mark asked impatiently.

"She threatened her basically, in all honesty she scared the shit out of me with what she said, and I wasn't even the one being threatened."

Everyone looked at each other confused and surprised, aside from that night with just us three no one had seen her angry or even really annoyed. I'm not shocked at their surprise whatsoever, she's like a completely different person when she's like that.

"What'd she say?" Seán asked.

"She Uh.. she said under normal circumstances she'd be beating her ass to a pulp right then. And then she told her if she ever tries to pull any kind of shit like that again that she.. she knows how to torture someone until they 'beg for the sweet relief of death' and that she'd not give her that relief." I couldn't bring myself to speak above a whisper it was such a harsh memory to bring back.

Seán tugs me into a bear hug in an attempt to calm me down and comfort me, Felix and Mark joining in momentarily before releasing me.

"Remind me to never piss her off." Mark awkwardly joked earning a dry laugh from the group.

"The next day is when she started hanging off of Seán as much as she possibly could. I honestly think she's just trying to spite N/N in any way she can think of."
