“Go!”

Adrenalized—feeling as though your body was dipped into cold water—you ran toward the chair Dustin held steady, stamping your foot on it and springing up. Your fingers bit down into the fleshy vines, and your abdomen tightened like a fist as you pulled yourself through the gate.

Your hands slipped, and you landed on your back. Pain clamped down on your spine, and the breath was knocked from your chest. Stiff, you turned to your side, grimacing against every intake of breath as though you were swallowing nails.

Recovering to your feet, you looked up to Dustin. The gate framed him like a grisly gash in flesh, light from the trailer bleeding out into the dark of the upside down. “Dustin!”

He tossed your flamethrower through the gate, and you caught it.

“Just go!” He said. “Find Eddie! I’m right behind you!”

Muscles tense as rusted coils, you nearly lost your balance as you hurried out of the trailer. Heartbeat loud in your ears and heavy in your mouth, you looked for Eddie.

Pulsing like a frantic heart monitor, red lightning appeared as chromatic bruises behind the sheer clouds. Then you saw flapping shapes illuminated by the lightning, resembling static and swirling in a tight tornado.

Eddie stood within it, deflecting the swooping bats with his spiked shield.

“Holy shit!” Dustin came up from behind you, but you were already sprinting toward the twisting mass.

You stumbled to a halt. There was no way you could walk through, or simply help with a few swipes of a spear. There were too many bats. You only had one idea, and it was risky.

“Eddie!” Your scream scratched your throat raw.

His head snapped to you, and his eyes, glossy as polished stones, were swollen with fear.

“Eddie, get down!” You aimed the flamethrower, and fire spewed out like a burst pipe. It curled up within the tornado of bats, tracing their flight and eliciting pained screeches.

The heat from the burning bats enveloped you like the hottest summer day. Eyes watering, you squinted to try and see any bat stray away. Angling the flamethrower, you drew the fiery cloud in zigzags.

An opening split within the flapping mass, and Eddie dove out.

The heat continued pestering your eyes, and you didn’t see the squad of bats drawing down to you.

“Y/N!” Eddie shouted.

A tail coiled around your throat and yanked you off your feet. Releasing the flamethrower, your hands flew to your throat. Slammed to your back, demobats were glued to you like flies to honey.

You scratched the heels of your shoes against the pavement, desperate to move anyhow, anyway from the rows of teeth carving into your flesh. From your wounds, your own blood warmed your cold body.

Some bats were abruptly ripped away as fast as they collected on you.

Through blurred vision, you saw Eddie and Dustin’s distorted forms. Dustin used the blunt end of his spear to whack away the bats while Eddie plunged a knife—broken off from his spear—into their heads, multiple times.

Teeth gritted, Eddie expressed expletives as blood spat up from his frantic stabs.

The bat gripping your throat began to drag you away. “Hh—!” You exclaimed from the sudden pull.

“Oh no, you don’t, you son of a bitch!” Dustin quickly moved to plunge his spear through its spine—pinning it to the ground like a specimen on a naturalist’s card.

Eddie stomped a foot down on its head, bone crackling.

Strained screeching prompted Dustin to whip around, spear ready, and for Eddie to drop next to you—prepared to shield you, but the bats all collectively fell like the last drops of rain in a storm. Fire continued to feast on their bodies.

“Are you okay?” Eddie took your face in his hands. “Hey, talk to me!”

“I’m here,” you said, words strained by your bruised throat.

Eddie grinned, dimples pinching his cheeks. “Oh, man.” He shook his head. “That was a real Ozzy move you did. But you’re not gonna die on me, right? Right?” He stroked your cheek with the back of his hand, rings cool against your skin.

“No.” You smiled, gently grabbing his wrists. “No.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Dustin assured at your other side. “It’s not bad.”

“Feels bad, though,” you croaked.

“Yeah, you’ll have some pretty gnarly scars.”

Eddie grazed his thumb just under your lower lip, staring down at you as if you were a fallen star he made so many wishes for.

“Eddie,” you said softly.

“Yeah?” He whispered.

“You don’t have to prove yourself…that you’re a hero. You should already know how great and loved you are by those that matter. Fuck this town. Please keep being you.”

A broad smile stretched his lips thin, and he nodded. Tears polished his eyes. “I will.”

Dead sad they didn’t play Campbell:(

Lol same. I think they can’t do it until they start winnings and then when I believe we will win we lose.

Yeah think canadas won in both mens and womens a couple times at the same time, like in 2010 and 2014 Ik they did and Ik Canada won womens in 2006 and 2002 but unsure if the bois did too .

Ikr 🥲 one goal 😭

Also u seen the Olympic jerseys Canadas and finlands are amazing like omg 😍😍😍 , USA uhh they definitely tried but it 100% looks more like a footy jersey/ a hockey jersey youd buy for £20 as a knockoff.

Damn those penalties😂 stay out the box plz

Also how was the game other than the score we don’t speak of ? 🏒

I know :( but my mind my absolutely gigantic mind forgot that there’s still more rivalry games and she might play in the next one HOWEVER I think my mind telepathically sensed this because the hockey Canada ceo said they’re announcing the teams (men’s and women’s) by mid December and I don’t think they’re playing again until then so it’s not looking to great for Campbell sadly

I try to go into seasons with no expectations but secretly I expect them to win honestly as a sports fan it’s the hope that kills you

I know they both won in 2010 because I have the Olympic specialty coin collection and they have quarters for the men’s and women’s wins (I will not lie I think the Olympic collection is my favourite of my coin collection even more than my 1999 millennium quarters) also not that you asked yes I have the entire 2010 Olympic collection every single coin the Canadian mint made I have them

I uhhhh won’t lie I’m not a fan of Canada’s jerseys, they revealed them at the game and they were uhhh something, I just think they look plain, like they’re boring I want some fun I want some spice I like their old jerseys better but honestly nothing will top the 2010 jerseys those were sick

But yes I agree Finland’s looks cool and the us….. it’s a jersey ig I just looked it up because I hadn’t seen it and I literally started laughing that’s so embarrassing for them

The game was really good!! I will go off now

Obviously it would’ve nicer if they won but it is what it is and it was still enjoyable and they were so close it was so great

Look how close I was!! I didn’t zoom in like that’s literally how close I was, and they fought!!! The big fight with Clark and idk some American was right in front of me!! I saw it happen in real time in real life it was crazy!! And at the end of the second when another American idk which one again had fillier’s head in her hands and literally kept slamming it against the glass and the refs had to break it up was also right in front of me we were all screaming and booing but like I don’t know if you could see it on tv but literally had her head in her hands like holding her helmet and just banging it over and over I was like woah wtf??

And it was packed!! I think it sold out!! It was crazy getting in and out because parking was insane and then it was so busy and they have to check proof of vaccination first before you can show your tickets so there was 3 checkpoints to get in like vaccinations, bags, and then tickets, but I honestly didn’t expect it to be busy like I thought maybe a couple hundred people maybe would go but no it was packed I think I saw maybe 5 empty seats, but the atmosphere was insane it was so loud like it was wild and that one chance Canada had in the second where the puck just rolled in front of the net behind the goalie who had no idea where the puck was and Canada swiped at it and the us swiped at it I thought it was in everyone thought it was in we stood up and then it was like no goal and I saw the replay and yeah no goal but on the replay it happened so much faster like the puck was loose for maybe 3 seconds and it looked like 1 second on the replay but in real life it looked like it was sitting there for 30 seconds it’s crazy how much faster and slower the game is when you’re watching it live

And we were right by the tunnel so we got to see the players come onto the ice which was cool and I don’t think you could see it on tv but there wasn’t a way to get to the visitors bench from the locker room except on the ice so Canada’s coaches got to walk on the walkway in front of the seats and into the side door to Canada’s bench but the us coaches had to waddle across the ice it was funny and also vindictive because yeah they won but honestly who really won? Me because I got to laugh at them waddling their way to and from the bench every intermission

But it was such a great experience I wanna go again I wanna watch hockey again I’ll even go watch men I don’t care I just wanna see hockey I’ll say it right here right now the best sports to watch live in this order are hockey, baseball, and soccer (also don’t come at with tennis or other sports I haven’t seen other sports in person okay I’m not made of money)

But oh man it was incredible and I honestly wish I could relive it but seriously if I think watching sports on my tv is stressful like my jaw hurts I clenched my teeth so bad and they gave us those like sign things that you can fold into a fan thing and I folded mine and I literally have paper cuts all over my hands from how tightly I was holding it 😂

I did take more pictures but the shovel/ice boys are in literally all of them and their faces are stupid so you get this one where they’re not looking
