It's A Real Mystery | Mystery x Reader (Doll Eye Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Your heart stopped. Your breathing began to increase, and your eyes grew so wide, that you swore they could just fall out and roll away at any given moment. You were scared to turn around, to move or even say anything. That voice had chilled you to your core.

It spoke again.

"Hoo? Hellooo? Are you okay?"

You shuddered, knowing that there was no way out of this situation now... but maybe, if you were quick enough, you could get past him?

It was a lot of courage to muster, but eventually, and with a deep breath, you turned around.

Your eyes were met with what looked to be a feline. A tall, mangy, and sickly-looking feline, that was wearing some sort of doctor's outfit with a ripped tie and black gloves that reached towards his elbows. But that wasn't the only thing that stuck out to you, what really caught their attention was his eyes; one a deep ocean blue and the other a murky green, with a distinctive "X" in the middle of it.

This was it. This was the thing that those rumors had caused so much buzz about, and he was right here, standing in front of you with his head cocked to the side. Once again, you found yourself frozen to the spot, unable to move or run away as you had planned to.

The man took a step closer, and reflectively, you jumped back and hit the door behind you, which emitted an audible bang. You raised your hands to cover your face, cowering in fear as you managed, "P-Please don't hurt me... I-I-I'll give you anything you want, j-just please.."

"Hurt you? Oh, no! Mystery would never do such a thing!" the man above you shook his head, then lifted his large, gloved hand up towards you, ruffling your H/C hair.

You tensed up... but oddly, began to relax from the man's touch. It felt weird, being that he was a stranger and could hurt you at any given moment, but wasn't, and was instead petting you in an effort to calm you down. And it worked... for a minute, before you pushed away.

"Wh— Who are.. What are you..." it was hard to form words. What could you say? A million questions were swarming through your head and it was hard to comprehend what was even going on. Why was he here? What was he doing here? Who was Mystery? That and more.

Eventually, after having stumbled through your words and straining yourself to think, you abruptly asked, "Who are you?" with a brow raised.

"Why, I'm Mystery! Dr. Mystery," he pointed towards the name tag on his chest, with the words, "DR. MYSTERY" written on messily in that familiar handwriting.

"Mystery?"

"Yep!" the man smiled, baring his sharp yellow teeth at you. Ones that could very easily tear into your flesh. "What's your name?"

You swallowed, that bead of sweat returning. ".. Y/N," you mumbled, just loud enough so that Mystery could hear.

Those teeth were frightening... Hell, his whole appearance and physique was enough to leave you on edge. He looked as if he hadn't eaten in weeks, his ribs visible underneath the shirt he wore, and you could very much so see the bugs that were crawling around in his hair. Such a disturbing sight.

"Y/N..." the man repeated, looking off into the distance, as if he were thinking. "Y/N! That's such a pretty name! I like it!"

You blushed (again, reflectively), and raised your brow. You were just amazed at how cheerful and bright this man appeared to be, despite his grisly appearance and the place that he currently resided in. At least, from your perspective.

"Uh... thanks?" you tentatively accepted the compliment.

Before you could even ask the feline man about the exit, he interrupted with the words, "Do you like drawing?"

You stared at Mystery, trying to process his question. And it seemed as if you had forgotten all about the exit, as you just went along and answered.

"A little—"

"GREAT! Come with me!!" Mystery cut you off once more, and suddenly, grabbed you forcibly by the wrist and literally began to drag you out through the halls. Your shoes skidded across the tiled floors, and you yelped as you were pulled along.

"H-HEY! Wait!—"
