Clementine:
We reached the door when Haiden suddenly grabbed Joshua, pulling him away, while Troy held onto Jack. As they dragged them back, I realized they were giving me a chance to open the door for Yorick. I could hear a lot of screaming outside, mostly the creatures, but I was worried about Yorick. He was out there in the dark with so many of them. I panicked as I grabbed the door handle, but someone came after me and yanked me back by the waist. One of my nails even tore off. I turned and saw her holding me from behind, her arms locked tightly around my stomach. I elbowed her hard in the chest, and she let out a small scream before letting go. I ran back to the door, ignoring the yelling behind me.
Now the white squad members were rushing at me, trying to stop me from opening it.
"Don’t let her open the door, she’ll let the monsters in!" Joshua shouted as he fought Haiden. They were punching and kicking each other. Troy and Jack were doing the same, but since Jack was just a Royal Beta, Troy easily got him in a chokehold.
"Clementine, open the door!" Troy yelled, letting me know my squad was with me. They didn’t care if the creatures got in, one of ours was still outside.
I kicked one of the girls in the stomach, and she fell to the ground, screaming in pain. It was the same girl we’d hit before. She always screamed like she was the victim, even when she was the one attacking us.
I started opening the door as Suki tried to stop me. But the second I got it open, she shoved me out.
"Then fucking stay with him!" she screamed. As I turned back, trying to stop her from closing it, I caught a glimpse of Troy’s eyes widening. He let go of Jack and rushed toward me, but the others had already slammed the door shut.
There was no time to try and get back in. The creatures were everywhere, screeching, and one was charging straight at me. I panicked and ran toward the back of the mansion. Once I got there, I turned down the path we’d never taken before and sprinted down the road, creatures pouring out from every side.
Then I remembered the butcher knife in my belt. I pulled it out and swung it wildly. It was easy to hit their necks, they were that long and easily in the view. One dropped instantly after I cut it, writhing on the ground, its head barely hanging by a thread of skin. The others hesitated, almost scared, before coming at me again.
I noticed their pattern, they weren’t very fast. After every action, they seemed to need a moment to recover, whether it was running, walking, or even just attacking. That could be used against them. But I couldn’t think about going back anymore. I was scanning the dark for Yorick, and the fact that he had vanished made me feel sick. Tears welled up as I screamed his name.
"Yorick!" But there was no response. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
I kept running until I saw the first house in the distance. I didn’t know if there were creatures inside, I didn’t care. I rushed to the door and opened it, but something grabbed me by the waist. Everything happened fast. My body was yanked and rolled to the side of the house. Since I had been holding the doorknob, it swung open, but I was no longer in front of it. Then a creature lunged out. If I hadn’t been pulled away in time, I would’ve ended up just like Markus from earlier.
