His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 39: Showing Off My Shield

Y/N's POV

I woke up to someone shaking me. I groaned and opened my eyes. I saw The Puppeteer standing there. I knew why he was here. "Do I have time to change into something else?" I asked.

"Make it quick." he said.

I shuffled over to my closet and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a random shirt along with a hoodie. I went into the bathroom and quickly changed. I walked back out to see him waiting for me. "Meet me behind the building." he said as he made his way back out of my window.

I put on some socks and some tennis shoes before heading out. I walked around the building and quickly found him. "Let's go." he said. We made our way to the outskirts of the city and into the forest.

After about an hour and a half of walking, we made it to the mansion. We strolled inside and made our way to The Slenderman's office. We knocked on the large office doors. I heard his voice. "Come in."

We opened the doors and walked in. "Alright. Are you ready to get started?" I heard his voice say.

"Yes." I answered confidently. With that, we headed off to the same room we were in the first time I experimented with my powers. On the way there, I took off my hoodie and tied it around my waist. When we walked in, I saw the holes in the wall from last time.

"Before we get started, did anything regarding your power happen?" The Slenderman asked.

I nodded. "Yes. I actually discovered another power." I said.

I saw The Puppeteer's eyes widen at my statement. "Wait! New power? Do you know what it does?" he asked, clearly surprised.

Again, I nodded. "It seemed to form some type of shield." I said, looking back at what had happened just hours ago.

"Do you mind telling us how you came across this new power?" The Slenderman asked me.

"I was actually attacked just earlier tonight. The shield formed when I brought an arm up to protect myself from what would have been a hard punch. I think what triggered it was fear." I said.

"Could you tell us what the attacker looked like?" The Slenderman asked.

"He wore a dirty white hoodie. I caught a glimpse of his face and it was absolutely terrifying!" I exclaimed.

The Slenderman and The Puppeteer looked at each other. "Could you go grab Jeff for me please?" he asked Puppeteer.

"Sure." he said before walking out of the room.

"While he's out, I would like you to try to summon that shield." The Slenderman said.

I nodded. I closed my eyes and thought of the attack that happened earlier. I relived it. Right when I saw his fist swing back, fear overtook me and my arm swung up to protect me. I opened my eyes and saw that I had successfully summoned the shield.

While the shield was summoned, I felt its power within me. I clung onto that power to keep the shield summoned.

I looked over to The Slenderman and saw him examining the shield. After a while, I let the shield dissipate. It was weird that I didn't need to cling onto fear to keep it out. The Slenderman's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Could you try to summon both of the powers at once?" he asked.

I nodded again. Instead of looking back at the memories, I looked within myself. I could feel both of those powers swirling inside of me. I brought up my arm and summoned the shield. I then brought forth the other power. I saw the shield start to appear and one of my hands started to glow red. The red glow climbing up my arm.

I looked over towards The Slenderman. Even though he didn't have a face, I could still tell that he was impressed with the development of my powers. I let the power disappear after a few moments.

Once my powers dissipated, I saw Puppeteer dragging in a man in a stained white hoodie. Wait a minute! Not just any man, it was the man who attacked me. I glared at him even though I felt a bit of fear run through my chest. Once he caught sight of me, I saw his impossibly wide eyes widen even more.

"Glad you could join us Jeff. Y/N, was this the man who attacked you?" The Slenderman asked.

I nodded. "Yep! That's him!" I stated.

I watched as Puppeteer smacked the back of Jeff's head. "Ow! What was that for?" Jeff exclaimed while rubbing the back of his head.

Puppeteer replied. "For attacking Y/N. You're lucky that you didn't manage to harm her. If you did, you wouldn't be breathing right now."

"She had a taser on her. I couldn't really do much as long as she held that thing. Along with that strange power she used. With all of that, I couldn't get a scratch on her. Didn't know she'd be prepared..." Jeff mumbled towards the end.

I still heard every word he said. "How could I not be prepared when you've tried to chase me a couple times before? Of course I'd have something to protect myself with when there's someone stalking me." I sassed.

"I bet you don't have your taser with you right now. What would you do if I were to attack you right here, right now?" Jeff asked, walking towards me.

"I could still take you on." I said confidently. I knew that I wouldn't have to hide my powers if he wanted to fight me here.

Jeff pulled a large knife out of his hoodie pocket. "Oh really? You think so?" he said, acting cocky.

"I know so." I said, smirking. I lifted my arm and summoned my shield.

"Alright you two, calm down." The Slenderman said, trying to prevent the fight.

"No, let Y/N show him what she's got. I want her to wipe that everlasting smile off of his face." Puppeteer said, smirking.

"You really think that you and your stupid little shield could beat me?" Jeff asked.

"Yep!" I said. I then summoned my other power. My other hand was glowing red. The power started climbing up my arm. Jeff looked a bit shocked. This fight is going to be fun!
