Breaching Daylight

Prologue (XV). Abby Cox

Abby Cox | 2 years before | Forest

I was running from Mia, James and Andrew. Deeper into the woods I went as I drop my gun that I bought off Jordy's brother.

Shit!

I went to pick up the gun and I continue to run further than I should of. "What if I encounter the person who got a Chris?" I mutter to myself as I start to sob.

I take out a packet of cigarettes and put one in my mouth as I light the end of it.

However I heard a stick break and I turn around in shock as I fire my pistol.

I look in horror as I saw who I just shot. "Chris!" Chris was holding onto his wound on his stomach as I went to him and put pressure on the wound.

"Shit! Shit! I'm so sorry Chris! It was an accident," I apologise as I look around for anyone, but could see just woods and rain.

"You-you shot me..." Chris stutters, "We have to get out, something is ou-out," I cut him off as I stood up.

"I'm going to find help! Please don't die here! I promise I'll get help," I start running off as I could hear Chris call my name but I just ignore him.

I could hear screaming and when I turned back Chris disappeared. I suddenly trip onto a rock and start rolling down a hill, cutting and smashing my limbs as I cry in pain.

I got up from the ground and I walk slowly, it was all a blur afterwards as I remember finding Mitch and talking to him and then passing out.

I woke up around 20 minutes after and I could see police everywhere and some of the students from my year level.

I look over to the direction where Chris was, I then chose to hide the story of ever finding him.

Abby Cox | 30 minutes before | Cave

I was running, separated from Hannah, I ran trying to survive this fucking hell hole. There was these monsters that brought us down this cave and now I had to find the way out before it was too late.

I find a mini wooden pillar and I hide in between two pillars and I held my breath.

I could hear the monsters right in front of me, shrieking loudly as if they're communicating to others around it.

Around five minutes went by and the shrieks were gone and I slowly start breathing faster this time. I got out of my spot as I could barely see anything. I take my phone out and I realise I still don't have an reception, but instead I turn on the flashlight. The area I was in was now lit and I look around me.

I end up walking different pathways, trying to find Hannah or anyone that could be down here.

However I find a skeleton, at first I was grossed out, but then I realise who that skeleton belongs to, it was Chris Floyd.

I get closer to his body and I start to tear up as I remember what I had done to him.

I'm so sorry Chris, but I-I had to save my own gut.

I look down and I could see his old phone as I pick it up to try to turn it on but it wouldn't work.

I place his phone back down and I could see the wall behind him and the lines that probably represented days he was stuck down here.

A whole year all alone.

Something pulls me by the shoulder.
