Midas Touch - Fortnite (Midas x Reader) Fanfiction

Chapter 10

Skye's P.O.V.

We continued to look for Midas as the sky was getting darker. An entire day had passed an we still hadn't found him. We haven't gone back to rest because this was an emergency for us. We had to use all the time we had.

"Any sign of him?" I heard Tina ask over the earpiece.

"We saw handprints in Weeping Woods, but we searched the entire area. We're all the way at Slurpy Swamp and he's nowhere to be seen," I said.

"We found empty bullets to his drum gun," Tina said.

"Where?"

"In pleasant park. There's a small underground lair here hidden by a soccer field. There's loot from guards left over so he did some killing," she said.

"He's been everywhere," I muttered, "its going to be impossible to find him."

Ironically, we received a ping. I swiftly pulled out my phone where we could track the ping, and it was found near Misty Meadows, closer to the mountains.

"Guys, there's a ping fro Misty Meadows," I said," carefully go over there. Scope out the area from afar."

Meowscles and I began our journey towards the isolated area as we searched on the way there. Each step was cautious as we walked through the wooded, swampy area.

"Midas!"I called out into an empty warehouse. All I heard was my voice echo back. I shook my head.

"Skye..." I heard a voice groan. I felt my skin crawl.

"Midas??" I said in a more questioning tone.

"I'm in the office," it said. Meowscles and I searched the building for the office and eventually found Midas in the corner, holding his side with nothing but a gauze pad. Red blood stained the bottom hem of his white undershirt. A cigarette hung from his lips as his head rested against the wall.

"Midas! Are you okay?" Meowscles practically screamed.

"Yes.... I'm fine." He grunted. Meowscles knelt next to him, unbuttoning his shirt and revealing a new bullet hole in the same area as the first one.

"Jeez dude, you can't run off when you're already hurt. Who did this?" He asked and began to clean the wound with a med kit.

"I believe they worked for Shadow. They began shooting at me so I shot back. They ran off after they hit me," he said. Meowscles lifted his clean gauze to expose the new hole. It was open and blood was drying around it.

"We need to take you home," he said. Midas put his bloody hand on his forehead and sighed hopelessly.

"I can't."

My eyes immediately traveled from his bullet hole to his face. His skin was much more pale than before. He had lost a mass amount of blood again.

"Midas, we got this. But if you keep getting hurt like this, you are going to die. You need time to heal because we need our leader. We can't lose you, not to something like this," Meowscles said as he lifted the injured and depressed man from the ground and wrapped Midas's arm around his shoulders. Meowscles supported him and wrapped his arm around his waist as we walked out of the building. The cigarette fell from his lips and hit the ground, I stepped on it to make sure it wouldn't burn anything.

"You're right, but I just can't leave her behind. No one gets left behind," He slurred as he was closer to passing out.

"Meowscles, hurry. We need to get back," I said as Midas fought to keep his head up and stay awake.
