Trapped

Chapter 13

Luna ran after Autumn, who was standing between the border from survivor and killer. “Au-Autumn!” She heard Luna yell after her. “I’m sorry... I was dumb. I shouldn’t have told the survivor of Freddy that my last name was Kruger.” She said with a tearful laugh. 

“How could I be so stupid?” She asked no one in particular, her head hung and she kicked the ground. “Autumn, you’re-” Luna was cut off by Autumn’s sighed. “I know what you’re going to say. ‘I’m not stupid, I was just in the moment,’ but still, doesn’t make me feel better.” 

Autumn had done her best impression of Luna to try and lighten the mood but it didn’t help, if anything it made Luna feel defeated. “This doesn’t install hope. We’ll never leave here if-” 

“Are you seriously still thinking on getting out of here?” Autumn interrupted, clenching her fist. “Well, yeah! Of-” Luna was then cut off again by Autumn glaring. “Listen, I know you mean well but that Benedict guy couldn’t get out and he’s probably older than Bill! How is a group that is mostly filled with teenagers going to over through a damn demon?” 

Autumn left Luna speechless. Everyone thought it was a good idea but was it just an illusion? “Besides, if they really cared about your plan, they wouldn’t have thrown me out.” Autumn told Luna, looking away. 

Luna knew she was hurting a lot but didn’t want to show it, using anger as a shield. Luna hugged her tightly, her forehead on Autumn’s shoulder and squeezed. “Please come back, stay in my tent. Just, please!” Luna begged, clinging onto the girl’s shoulder. 

Autumn returned the hug before pulling away. “No, I wouldn’t want you to suffer the same treatment as me. Just, visit me?” Autumn asked, making Luna looked at her confused. 

“Visit you?” Luna asked. 

“On the killer side.” Autumn told her. 

“You are not going alone.” Luna told her before Claudette appeared. “Hey hun, I’m so sorry about what happened.” Her sweet tone made Autumn smile. “It’s okay, honest.” Luna wanted her and Hope to go with Autumn but Hope wasn’t anywhere near the camp and Smug was in a trial. 

“Hey, Claud can you come with us to the killer side?” Luna asked. Claudette smiled and nodded.”I need to talk to Max anyways.” She said with a smile and took Autumn’s left side while Luna took her right. 

The walk there was quiet but Luna thought it to be the best. She knew Autumn needed some time to think and if she had a sudden change of mind, then Luna would happily walk back to camp and give them all a piece of her mind; whether Boris liked it or not. 

Speaking of which, Luna let the knucklehead drift into her thoughts. Why the hell did he let them vote? From where everything was going, it should’ve been a 100% that they would vote for exile. Luna would need to ask but the through only lingered in her mind, nagging her. 

“Hey, Max.” Claudette’s sweet voice made Luna look up. She was inches away from running into Billy. “You call him Max?” Luna asked, tilting her head. “I only let her call me that.” He muttered, shyly looking to the side. 

Luna always liked Billy, he was timid and shy but Luna did not take it for weakness. Billy was scary when he was determined but always a sweetheart around Claudette. “Got those herbs for me?” She asked with a sheepish smile crept on her face. “Yeah, come on.” Billy smiled, guiding her away. 

Autumn walked over to Frank, Luna followed closely behind. Frank ran up and hugged Autumn then sharing a tender kiss. “So uh, when was this a thing?” Luna asked, standing awkwardly. Autumn blushed and leaned on Frank’s shoulder. “When I got caught by Freddy and was over at the killer side, I was visiting him.” She explained.
