Displeasing the Entity [Trickster X Reader]

His Little Prodigy

You found yourself staring into the eyes of a brutal serial killer that took pleasure in taking innocent lives. Although you weren't scared of him you couldn't help but be wary of him. You knew his intentions weren't pure but it was your only chance at survival.

You wondered why he picked you out of all people. Why were you the only one he soloed out? Was it because you were new or was it because You looked easily persuaded. You were still unsure; the only thing that you knew was that there were only two ways out of this: listen to what he says and live or refuse and die by his hand.

You are snapped out of thought by his cocky tone. "You know you can't just walk away from this unscathed. I saw Meg on the way here so she probably knows I found you" Although you knew he had no intentions to kill you right now, you couldn't help but fear his presence. The trickster turned his head to the left as if he had heard something coming from beyond the wall. This action confused you because there was no sound or movement in that direction. "Someone just fucked up a skill check on the generator to the left. I want you to run over there and act like I'm chasing you, if they run away we let them go but if they stay you and I have a contest to see who can kill them first"

"And what do you think I'm going to kill them with?" as the words came out of your mouth you realized that you had made a mistake but before you could correct yourself he had already pinned you to the nearby tree. His mouth hovered inches above your ear.

"listen here brat, I would recommend you not get cocky with me. If you have already forgotten I control what happens here. Your life is just as disposable as all of the other survivors'' His heavy and distorted breath fell on your face as he spoke.  The security you thought you had vanished instantly. You were tremendously intimidated by him but you were also curious to see if he would actually do it. You decided that the best decision was to play along with his stupid game and nod in agreement.

He reluctantly pulled away from you and handed you 3 knives. "Now go on, I'm tired of being the only one performing here. Do me a favour and put on a good show" he said extending his bottom lip like a child trying to get what they want.

You had just remembered what he said earlier about walking away unscathed. You didn't want any of your fellow survivors to catch on to your betrayal so you made a reckless and idiotic decision to stab yourself. The blood coming from the open stab wound on the back of your thigh splattered the freshly fallen snow. You knew it was going to hurt but you weren't ready for the immense pain and burning that followed soon after.

You tried to play it off to impress the blood-covered maniac in front of you. "You think that's good enough?" you questioned, waiting for the approval that you longed for oh so desperately.

Your life had always been pretty boring but this man invoked curiosity in you that no one had ever touched before. You couldn't help but feel so intrigued by this man. There was so much you didn't know about him but that's what made him so goddamn appealing. You had always wondered what went through a killer's mind when they killed, little did you know you were about to find out.

"mmm very good," he said in a moan-like manner. Although he would have liked to injure you himself, he was impressed by your devotion and compliance. "You learn quickly" His lips tugged into a tight grin laced with anticipation as if he couldn't wait to hear the pleads coming from his victims.

"Shall we put on a show?" you said looking over your shoulder as you run towards your fellow survivor with the trickster trailing behind you. Your heart raced because you were unsure how easy he would go on you. You didn't know if he was going to treat you like every other survivor and injure you when you got too close or if he was purposely trying to go easy on you. Even if he was going easy, you were going to make this chase as believable as possible in order to get on his good side.
