Too Weird (BEN Drowned X Reader) Ch. 12

Chapter 12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BEN’s POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why did I ever suggest letting (y/n) come here? Ok, I thought it was a good plan at first. Obviously my sense of judgment needs improving. I was probably worrying over nothing too, since she wasn’t even with me right now.

Currently I was sitting in the dark office of the man/creature to which my anger is directed at. I came in raging, but now I was pretty calm, figuring blowing up would just make it worse for (y/n). “What is it you want BEN?” The tall man across from me asked in a sigh. “I want you to leave (y/n) alone.” I said, gritting my teeth to hold back anger. She was MY victim after all. Slenderman paused, “And why is this human so important to you?”

You know, that was a really good question that I can’t answer right now. Looks like it’s time to wing it. “Because (y/n) is my kill. I don’t go around taking your kills!” Yep, that seemed good enough. Slender sighed again, bored with my useless excuses, “BEN, you have one week to find a real reason. One week and (y/n) is dead. Understand?” My face lit up. Sure it was just a week, but a week is long enough for plenty of things. “Thanks Slendy. I got this in the bag.” I said, jumped up and went to the door. I barely heard his reply of, “Don’t call me that,” behind the closed door.

Yes! Everything is back on track. Sorta. Like I’ve said, I have no good reason for keeping (y/n) around so the train has no track. Still grinning I made my way out of the hallway and looked around. “(Y/n)? Jeff?” I couldn’t see anyone besides Masky eating some cheesecake and watching Law and Order in the living room. Wait, why was he watching that!?

Off topic BEN, let’s keep looking. I decided to search upstairs. Maybe (though he better not have) Jeff brought (y/n) to his room for some purpose. I threw open the door, “Where’s….. what are you doing!?” Jeff was…. Well he was dancing to a certain fox song. All thoughts of search aside, I fell to the floor in laughter. Jeff looked down at me, “Shut the hell up.” He hissed. I couldn’t help it! That would have been the best Youtube video ever!

My laughter slowly died down and I stood up, wiping a tear from my eye. Jeff glared at me, “What are you doing here anyway?” He asked, eager to get me to leave. I shrugged, “(Y/n), who I told you to watch, is missing.” Jeff cursed under his breath, “So she didn’t stay downstairs where I told her?” I face palmed and leaned against the wall, “She’s not a dog idiot.” Jeff was about to reply when I heard a faint giggle from down the hall. “Wait, hold up.” I said, walking into said dark hallway.

Another giggle sounded, combined with another slightly louder laughter. By now, I could tell whose room it was coming from. I mean, who else giggles in this house? Laughing Jack? Oh wait… that’s right… I went up to the bright pink door and pushed it open slowly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Main POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What you and Sally were doing was a lot more fun that you thought it would be at first. Currently you were sitting around a small table drinking imaginary tea in princess dress up. Why she had a costume for a teenager was beyond your understanding. “This is certainly splendid Miss Sally.” You said, pretending to take a sip. Sally giggled, “Indeed it is Miss (y/n).” That sent you both into a small fit of laughter.

And that is when you noticed the door open. A very confused looking BEN stood in the doorway staring at you both. You felt your face heat up slightly, though you didn’t know why. “BEN! Did you come to play with us?” Sally asked excitedly. “You could be the prince!” BEN laughed and shook his head, “Not right now. (Y/n) needs to go home.” Your heart sunk a little when you heard that. Sally was such a sweet little girl alone in a house of killers. You actually enjoyed playing with her. Sally frowned, “You always ruin my fun BEN…” She said to the elf then turned to you. “You’ll come back right? Promise?” You smiled and nodded, “Of course, if my dictator over there doesn’t mind.” BEN rolled his eyes, well more like irises, and sighed, “Alright alright. Just come on already.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Short time skip!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were back on the path, just you and the green clad killer. It was silent for a few moments, just walking through the trees in a comfortable silence before BEN spoke. “I see that you must have had fun.” He said a small smirk on his lips. You nodded, “Yeah. Sally’s so cute!” You said. Another silence filled the space. You walked on, looking up at the trees in the darkening sky. Time really flies when you’re in a house full of killers. Oh wait, that’s the wrong saying.

“So about the Slendy thing, he says we’ve got a week.” BEN said. You paused, “For what?” BEN looked over at you, hair falling in his eyes, “I have no clue.” He looked so lost, compared to his normal in control appearance. It really bothered you for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that the person who was in control of your life right now didn’t know what to do, but you were starting to realize maybe it wasn’t. Hesitantly you slipped your hand into his for comfort and smiled, “Thanks BEN. At least I get to live for a while longer.” You didn’t notice the small shade of red paint the killer’s face as you looked back into the trees.

“Let’s just get home for now.” BEN said and walked the rest of the way in silence.
