Chapter 7

*Ashley's POV*

While I climb down I shout an ok to him and tale off towards my house. When I reach my house, I scale the tree by my window as fast as I can. I climb in my window and run to shut off my alarm clock. Phew. That was close. Just then, I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I slowly turn around and find my dad standing in my bedroom doorway.

"Care to explain where you were, pumpkin?"

Uh oh.

"Uhh. Hi, dad... I guess there is no sense in lying to you... Sam called me and said Mike needed help calming Jessica down because she had a nightmare about... yeah. So I met Sam and we went and helped Mike."

He doesn't believe me. No way he would. That was a super fake story. He looked at me for a moment before smiling.

"Okay, pumpkin! Did you get Jessica calmed down?"

I can't believe it.

"Y-yeah we did. She's much better now. You aren't mad at me for sneaking out?"

"Honey, you guys survived a night in Hell on that mountain. Of course you guys are going to have trauma from that. No I'm not mad. I just wish you would've told us you were leaving. We would've let you take the car instead of running around in the cold."

I smiled at him and hugged him tight.

"Thanks, dad. I'll remember that. I love you."

"I love you too, pumpkin," he began to leave, "now, go back to sleep. I'll tell your mom what happened. She was worried sick about you."

With that, he shut my door, leaving me alone in my now silent bedroom. I sat down on my bed and pulled out my phone, dialing Chris' number. It didn't even finish the first ring.

"Yeah, what happened? Did you get in trouble? Did anyone find out? Are you dead? Am I dead? Oh God did they know you were with me? Oh I am so dead I mean your dad is nice but he's still a burly guy, Ash, he'd crush me!"

I couldn't help but laugh at my boyfriend's dramatic little monologue.

"Chris, relax. I... I lied. I feel terrible doing it, but if he knew I slept over at your house, snuck over to your house, we'd both be dead. No, I told him that Jess had a nightmare and Mike needed help calming her down so Sam and I went to help. He believed it. I didn't think he would, but he did."

I heard Chris let out a breath.

"Thank God. Anyway, is the movie night still on? I really wanna watch a comedy. A good one, like Napoleon Dynamite or something."

"Haha, yeah, it's still on. In a bit I'm gonna head to the store and get snacks and things. Any requests? I know Sam and Matt will want Skittles, Mike likes Sweet Tarts, Em likes Airheads, Jess and I like Sour patch kids. Want some Swedish Fish?"

"Girl, you know me so well. Those red gummy fish give me life."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later, Chris. I've gotta get ready to go."

"Talk to you later, Ash. Have fun shopping for snacks!"

After we hung up, I decided a shower was necessary. Mainly because I stretched and felt like I could kill a man with my funk. I gathered my clothes and went toward the bathroom. Once I was in there, I looked in the mirror. My eye was healing okay. As I stared at my reflection, it began to change. Was I seeing things? It began to change into me, covered in blood, then into one of those... things. A wendigo. I blinked furiously and rubbed my eyes. I was me again. Normal me. What is happening to me? Are the others going through this kind of stuff too?

*Chris' POV*

"Talk to you later, Ash. Have fun shopping for snacks!"

After I hung up the phone, I decided to go see what my parents were up to, considering I could hear them making a bunch of noise downstairs. As I got closer to the kitchen, where the noise was coming from, I heard my parents voices.

"I don't know, honey, I don't think he's ready for that."

"Dear, you know as well as I do, if it doesn't happen now, it never will."

Were they going to kick me out? After everything I went through? I hurried back up the stairs and decided to text Matt and Mike and see what they were doing.

- Hey guys! How's it hangin? I could use a stress reducer. Wanna play some video games?

I got two immediate responses.

- You're on!

- You know it, man!

I pulled out my laptop and opened up the game we love to By Daylight. I pulled on my headset and added Matt and Mike into a chat. We began to talk about anything and everything, briskly talking about how everyone is, but then moving on to our typical conversations, avoiding the subject of the mountain. We played DBD for hours. For those few hours, we had totally forgotten what had happened. It was amazing. We soon all had to go on and do other things with our day. I decided to send a text to Ashley, I mean my girlfriend, man that's great to say, before heading down and grabbing some food.

- Hey, Ash :p How's shopping? I played some dbd with Mat and Mike for a bit, they're both excited for tonight! I'm gonna get some food, text me when you can. X

With that, I made my way down to the kitchen.
