Until Dawn Fanfiction: Matt X Female Reader

Chapter Twelve

Mike's POV

After I go through the huge metallic doors, I lock them behind me and walk down a cluttered tunnel until I reach a big, empty room with a small set of stairs. I go up the small set of stairs, going up a much larger set before reaching the area I found the Miracle Men photo during my first trip to the Sanitorium. 

I walk around, noticing that the place is significantly more trashed than last time and I can't seem to find the wolves that were here earlier. As I look around, I notice some clues that I had found before, along with some new ones. The dots that I hadn't been able to connect on my first trip here start to become clear. 

And I realize that I really need to find Josh and get us all out of here ASAP.

I quickly find a set of stairs, finding a hole that allows me to jump into the locked room with the supplies I need.

I grab a torch, lighting it on fire with my lighter before grabbing some ammo for the gun right next to it. Armed and ready, I go to yet another locked door and shoot the lock, kicking the door in. 

I look around and peer into the darkness. I haven't been in this area before. 

Then my white wolf friend from earlier comes out from its hiding place. 

"Hey, big guy!" I greet softly. I advance closer to the wolf. "Happy to see me again, huh?" I kneel down, petting my new friend. "Hey! I was hopin' I'd run into you again!" I continue to pet the wolf, eventually standing back up again. "Alright. Good boy. Alright, pal. You're comin' with me. Alright. Here's the plan. I happened to see a map of this place, so we're not flying blind. There should be a way through the psychiatric wing that'll take us right outside the mine. Think we can handle that?"

The wolf growls in agreement.

I smile. "Couldn't have said it better myself." I take the gun I just recently collected and hold it up. "Let's just see if I can refrain from messing up with one of these things again."

The wolf cocks its head to the side as if confused.

I sigh. "It's nothing, Wolfie. I just made a mistake. Almost killed someone I care about, injured one of my friends, and disappointed the girl I love. But hey, let's focus on getting out of here for now, right?"

The wolf runs to a bolted up corridor and I follow as it continuously leads me through the Sanitorium. After many obstacles, horrors, and clues, I get a sinking feeling as I walk to where Wolfie is standing, facing into a tall and ginormous room. 

Wolfie has been tense the whole trip and after finding the black wolf torn open and a corpse locked up in a room with a suicide note, I'm getting tenser by the minute too. I have a feeling that something really bad is about to happen.

As soon as I enter the room, a can tips over, spooking me. I point my gun at the source of the noise, but I decide not to shoot. It would be a waste. 

Sure enough, a rat comes scurrying out. I sigh with relief, but just as I face forward so I can continue walking, I come face to face with a Wendigo.

It screeches at me and lunges, but I shoot it back. "Ha! Ha! How's that feel!"

I hurry and run while the Wendigo recovers from my blast, Wolfie running close behind me.

That's when I reach a fork. 

I could go left or straight ahead.

"Dammit," I whisper, and with not much time to stand there and debate with myself about the proper path, I run into the room at my left, closing the door.
