Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}

Chapter 3

(Y/n) P.O.V.

I am woken up about 10 minutes later to shouts. I get up to go find the cause, and find myself looking into a room where Josh, Chris and Ashley are using a Ouija board. "Hannah? What happened to you?" Ashley asks. I listen from the doorway to what they say it spells out. "Betrayed? Killed?" An icy feeling grips my heart. I cover my mouth, crying, and leaning on the wall next to the doorway. "No, no, no, Hannah, no, I didn't- I didn't do it. I——they've gotta be bullshitting each other, yeah. It's bullshit. Bullshit!" It isn't long before Josh comes out of the room. He spares me a glance, but storms off anyways. Soon Chris and Ash come out too. Chris sees me, and kneels in front of me. "What happened? What's wrong?" I don't respond, just shaking. "It's bullshit, it's all bullshit." I mumble. "Chris, I think she saw." Ashley points out. "(Y/n), look at me, okay? I'm going to take you back to bed, okay?" I nod, and he leads me back to my room. "We'll be back soon." Chris promises before they exit. Oh god, what if it was real? Does she blame me? I wait in a horrible silence before I hear shouting.

"JOSH! We're coming! Hold on!!" It's Chris. I bolt out of my bed to go look in the big house for them. I hear a scream the sounds like Ashley. "Ash?!" I shout. "Chris?!?" I see him trying to bust the door down. "Chris, what's going on?!" I shout. "I don't know." He replies hurriedly. Chris forces the door open and falls to the ground. The door closes again behind him. "Chris! Ash!" I try the door, and hear a few grunts in the other side. I pound on the door with one hand, trying to open it with the other. "Chris! Chris, please! Come on, open the door! I don't want to be pranked! Please, this is dumb!" I feel tears falling down my cheeks. I'm scared and frightened. I hope it's a prank for their safety, but also don't because of how things went last year. "Chris, please!" No answer. I decide to try and go around another way. I go outside and find a window that is in the kitchen.

I see a masked man pulling the unconscious bodies of Chris and Ashley. I don't see Josh anywhere. I hold back my shouts. I see him turn towards the window. I duck, and pray he didn't see me. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, please! I hold my breath as I hear the window open. I look up to see him staring at me. I scream, and try to run, but he grabs the back of my jacket with an iron grip. "No!" He presses something up to my nose and mouth, and it makes me dizzy and tired. I struggle feebly as everything goes black.

I groan groggily as I wake. I look around. I'm in a strange room. I see a camera, clearly one from the light on it, and a candle with hairspray behind it on a pedestal. I start to panic, and try to move away, but I'm tied to a chair. "Hello, (Y/n)." A strange voice talks through some sort of speaker. "Play nicely, and nothing happens. Refuse to answer..." The guy must have activated something because the hairspray sprays and a trail of fire comes at me closer then I would have liked. "Please, no." I whimper. I keep struggling. "What have you done with my brother? My fiends?" I shout, looking into the camera, assuming he sees me there. "Now, now...I'm the one asking questions. It's a party right? Let's play a little game. Truth or Dare?"

I'm taken aback. I wasn't expecting something so....basic. "What is this? A slumber party?" I retort. A blast of the flame goes, and I shriek. "Okay, okay, please!" I sob. It's so close... "Answer me!" He shouts. "Truth." I cry desperately, thinking it's the safer option. "Tell me, who do you like? Who is it that you pine after like a lost puppy? Look into that camera, and tell him." He seethes. I look into the camera. "You have him? Let them all go, you bitch!" I shout. Another blast of fire, only this time it grazes past my arm. It doesn't burn me yet, but it's way too close. I start hyperventilating in fear. "Please..." I sob, "please, don't do this. Please!" "Answer. The. Question. You know the rules." Is the only reply. "Oh god... oh god..." I sob. "It's Mike, it's fucking Mike, please....just let me go." My voice is broken and cracked by the end, barely above a whisper. I tremble uncontrollably in fear, and whimpers escape my lips. "Why him, huh? Did you learn nothing after last year? Do you really think he could ever care?" The voice stops talking. The light on the camera goes out. It's silent besides myself. Please....

Jess and I couldn't find an axe at the lodge, so I figured there would be one at this cabin I knew about. Now here, Jess and I search around. "So... it's pretty...secluded out here." I know what's she's trying to do. "Yup." Is my only response. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out and see a text from an unknown number. It's a video. I see a person behind the play button. Concerned, I press play. I see (Y/n) tied to a chair, waking up. She looks around before a voice speaks.

"Play nicely, and nothing happens. Refuse to answer..." A trial of fire shoots out at her, and she flinches. I know she's afraid of it. "Please, no." She whimpers and struggles. "What have you done with my brother? My friends?" She shouts, looking into the camera. I think I might be sick. "Now, now...I'm the one asking questions. It's a party, right? Let's play a little game. Truth or Dare?" "What is this? A slumber party?" She gets another blast of fire. I feel the urge to protect and save her, but I don't know how. "Okay, okay, please!" She's sobbing now.  "Answer me!" "Truth." I watch in horror at what she's going through. "Tell me, who do you like? Who is it that you pine after like a lost puppy? Look into that camera, and tell him." "You have him? Let the, all go, you bitch!" Another flame goes off, but closer this time. She helps and hyperventilates. "Please...please, don't do this. Please!" "Answer. The. Question. You know the rules." "Oh god... oh god...It's Mike, it's fucking Mike, please....just let me go." She looks so broken. "Why him, huh? Did you learn nothing after last year? Do you really think he could ever care?" The voice asks her. The image of her disappears and a few words appear on screen. I feel so helpless.

Good luck, Michael. I shudder. I have to save her. "Jess! Did you get a weird video?" She's standing by the door. "No, why?" She asks. But before I can reply, Jess is grabbed through the window. She screams as she is pulled through. "Jess!"
