His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 28: Needing Some Sleep

Y/N's POV

I woke up to my alarm. I turned it off and got up. I walked over to my closet to find an outfit. I went with jeans and a random t-shirt. I also pulled out a F/C hoodie. It was fall, so it was starting to get colder out.

I took my outfit and went into the bathroom. I decided that I needed a shower. I folded my outfit and put it by the sink. I put my dirty clothes in a basket I had in the bathroom. I took a towel and put it by my clothes on the sink before stepping into the shower.

After my shower, I grabbed the towel and dried myself off. I then put on the outfit except for the hoodie. I had it tied around my waist. I was brushing my hair when I looked into the mirror. Once again, I looked tired.

After I was done getting ready, I walked into the kitchen. I made my way over to the fridge. I opened it and my eyes landed on the eggs. I took out the eggs and began to gather everything I would need to cook them. I grabbed everything and made my way over to the stove.

As I started cooking the eggs, I began to think to myself. What would happen if someone were to find out about my power? Better yet, what power do I even have? What if my power is destructive? What if I'm not able to control it?

I decided to stop thinking about it for now. No good could come from panicking about it. I would worry about it later. I decided to focus on my eggs. If I were to have been lost in my thoughts any longer, I could have overcooked my breakfast.

I finished cooking my eggs and headed for the couch. I turned on the TV and watched the news as I ate. Nothing new was happening. The only new thing that came up was a couple of people in a nearby city went missing. I wasn't too surprised, a lot of people seemed to go missing around here.

As I was finishing up my food I wondered why people were going missing. After a while of thinking, the only idea my mind came up with was The Puppeteer. I couldn't help but think that he had something to do with the disappearances. The idea did make sense. I mean, he had the intent to kill me the first time I met him.

After a while of drowning in my thoughts and eating the rest of my meal, I got up and decided to clean up everything I used for breakfast. While cleaning, the thoughts about my power slipped into my mind. I wonder what I could do with my unknown power. Could I have other powers that just haven't been triggered yet? I shook those thoughts away as I finished cleaning.

After I was finished cleaning up, I walked into my room and grabbed my phone to check the time. 8:15AM. It's later than I thought. I should probably leave soon. I thought as I packed up everything I needed for school that day.

After packing everything I needed, I put on my sweatshirt and headed out the door. Right after leaving, I checked the time again. 8:30AM. Looks like I'll get there on time. I just wanna get school done and over with so that I can get some sleep.

I walked into class at 8:45AM. I looked around and saw about half of the class there already. I walked up a few rows and took a seat by the window, my usual spot. I sat down and set my stuff by my feet. I grabbed my phone and earbuds and waited for Alicia to come in.

I didn't have to wait long. Five minutes later and I saw her walk in. She spotted me and came up to sit next to me. She smiled and faced me. "Hey, how are you?"

I faintly smiled back and replied. "I'm fine, just tired."

She gave me a worried look. "Are you still having trouble sleeping?" she asked.

I responded tiredly. "Ya..."

"I was going to stop by your place after school, but it looks like you need some rest. When school is over, get some sleep, ok?" Alicia said.

"I was planning on it." I said. I smiled, knowing Alicia can't help but mother me. She's basically the mother of our little friend group. Always making sure we get our assignments and projects done.

The bell rang, telling us that class was starting. I took out my notes as the professor started a lecture. Throughout all of my classes, I struggled to keep my eyes open.

After all of my classes, I headed home. I walked into my apartment and immediately headed to my room, smiling as I saw my bed. I set my stuff down and threw myself onto the bed. Just as I closed my eyes, I remembered that I had work. Oh, come on!

I sighed sadly as I got back up. I got ready for work, internally crying. I grabbed my phone and keys before heading out.

After work, I got home and immediately got ready for bed. It was only 9:30PM by the time I was ready for bed, but I was really tired. I checked to make sure I had an alarm set on my phone, pugged it in, and went to bed. My head hit the pillow and I closed my eyes. Within 15 minutes, I was in a deep sleep.

I woke up to my alarm, happy to finally get a full night of sleep. I turned off the alarm. I got up and went over to my closet and grabbed some jeans and a random t-shirt along with another sweatshirt. I went into the bathroom and got changed. I looked into the mirror and was happy to see that I looked a lot better now that I got a full night of sleep.

I brushed my teeth and checked the time on my phone. 6:45AM. I brushed my hair before walking out of the bathroom. I headed into the kitchen and looked around for something to eat. I decided to eat a couple of pieces of buttered toast and call it good.

I sat down on the couch with my toast and turned on the news. The meteorologist was talking about how it was getting colder outside with winter on the way. Nothing too interesting.

After I was done with my toast, I turned off the TV and walked back into the kitchen with the plate I used for my toast. I rinsed off the plate and put it away. I checked the time. 7:30AM. I still had time before I had to head out.

I walked into my room and opened up my computer. I went onto YouTube, looking for videos to watch. After a few videos, I checked the time. 8:05AM. I grabbed everything I needed for school and headed out.

I got to class a bit early. It was only 8:30AM. There were only a couple other people in here. I walked to my usual spot and sat down. I grabbed my phone and earbuds and listened to music, waiting for Alicia, happy to finally be completely awake for class.
