Thank you reader for dropping by to check out my story
I didn't see too many serious Dead by Daylight fictions involving the survivors lives in the Entity's realm
So I thought I'd give it a go
Enjoy
I don't own anything related to Dead by Daylight or claim anything Behavior entertainment owns. I am merely using their ideas for your entertainment :)
"What, ugh… what happened?" I murmured under my breath holding my head. My glasses were slightly crooked and the throbbing in my head felt like someone had hit me with a hammer. Quickly I adjusted the specs and glanced around to see where my co workers were. After all, we were out in the woods camping, and I wanted to ensure I hadn't gotten lost in this forest. My vision slowly started to come back with each blink, and with that so did my balance as I lifted myself onto my feet.
The first thing I noticed was the heat of the flames nearby. The small campfire burned brightly orange red, and there were logs surrounding it. "This isn't our campsite." My face became puzzled clearly unsure of what was going on. Maybe it was a prank? Or maybe I had finally gone crazy. My eyes glanced across the campsite and I saw another figure ahead of me, lying on the ground. He had ruffled black hair and was wearing a green outdoors jacket. My eyes lit up and I ran over to him, shaking him gently.
"Hey! Wake up," I said to him hoping he would awaken.
"He isn't one of my co workers," I realized.
The unknown character started stirring, climbing with his hands and knees slowly, trying to regain balance and get his bearings. I eased and helped him up while trying to tell him to take it slow.
"Where am I?" The guy grumbled under his breath no differently than I mumbled when I woke. "Who are you?" He asked, jerking his arm away from me, clearly not trusting me.
I threw my hands up quickly in defense.
"Woah guy, I didn't mean to startle you, but I'm just as confused as you."
The man looked at me strangely without saying a word.
"Uhh… My name is Dwight, Dwight Fairfield," I finally said.
"Well, Dwight Fairfield, do you remember anything before we ended up here?" The man replied.
"Nope. All I remember was camping in the woods before blacking out, and now I'm here with you." I said.
Suddenly another figure rose to our side, which startled us. It was a girl. She was black with glasses and a tight fit button up shirt. Her head looked like it was throbbing as hard as mine with how she held her hand against it.
She peered over at us and almost fell backwards.
"Where am I? Who are you people?!" She yelled.
"Calm down! It's okay, we just woke up too." I reassured her, trying to calm her down, mostly because my nerves were firing in every direction. I was impressed that I was able to put on a good show. Deep down though, I was scared out of my damn mind.
The man in the jacket next to me started ruffling around anxiously, and I could tell he was about to do something brash.
"Listen, I have lots of woodland experience. I can get us out of here, we just have to head in a direction and get our bearings," he began to speak. He walked over to the girl and helped her regain her balance, tugging slightly on her arm in a direction away from the campsite. "Just follow me and we'll be okay," he finished.
"I wouldn't try that if I were you," said another voice from behind all of us.
I turned around with the others to see who it was. It was another girl, a red head. She had French braids in her hair and athletic gear on. She wasn't paying us much attention, just leaning against a tree and looking at her fingernails as if to inspect them for cleanliness. She was also alarmingly pretty. The silence filled the cold air for a moment before she looked up at us, frustrated.
"I've already tried running away from here. In fact, I ran the entire perimeter. Trust me… you won't get far," she warned.
The man in the jacket let go of the other girl and stepped towards the red head.
"And why is that?"
"Because you'll end up back here. No matter which way you go," she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked, inquisitive about the situation.
The red head sighed in annoyance and elaborated. "I ran around the campsite further into the woods, and this… this fog started to pick up, and when I kept going it eventually lessened, but I was right back where I began," she explained.
I gulped and shivered with every word. She definitely seemed like she was a competent person, and obviously some kind of track or cross-country athlete. I didn't find any reason to not trust her. Something was certainly off about this campsite though; and even though we were all seemingly in the same predicament, I didn't trust anyone… or at least not yet.
The man and the red head proceeded to argue slightly back and forth. The man explaining how that was impossible, and the red head trying to prove what had happened, going as far as to tell him to run off and see for himself. I had enough of it though and got between them.
"Listen! I don't care what is going on right now, and I know everyone is scared. Lord knows I am right now, but we have to figure this out together not separate," I commanded, proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone. The red head shot me a look of aggravation, and I was starting to regret my aggressive decision, but sighed a relief when she lowered her eyebrows and loosened up.
"Fine," the man gave in, "what should we do?"
"Well first off, what are your names?" I asked.
THUMP! went a noise next to us. It was the other girl, she had fallen to the ground completely unconscious.
"Hey! Are you okay!? Wake up!" Yelled the man trying to bring her back.
"Something isn't right!" Panicked the red head. She was looking furiously around the campsite and it was then I began to realize what she had.
The fog was closing in around us rapidly. The air grew colder and my skin started to crawl. I felt like I was being watched from every direction. Like something angry was waiting to leap out at us with its angry teeth, or whatever.
The man fell over the other girl's body and my vision was starting to blacken. I tried reaching out to them, but I felt like death, and like something was trying to lull me to sleep. A whisper kept pulling me deeper and deeper into unconsciousness. The last thing I saw was the red head, who was slowly closing her eyes and falling as well.
Then everything went black
I know this was short introduction. There will be more to come soon.
In the meantime, have a horrifically great day! ;)
