Face Everything and Rise (Zalgo x Reader x Creepypastas)

          Hello my ingots! So, I’ve recently gotten into a band called Papa Roach and I don’t know dudes… I think I got a problem. I CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO THEM! They’re so good! I was inspired by this song of theirs, which happens to be my personal favorite, to write this! Heh, I think it works. Hope you enjoy!

Italics – Song lyrics

Face everything and rise

Face everything and rise

 

The streets crawl with a deadly omen

Outside I see a world that’s broken

I can’t breathe, my heart is choking

I need a cure for this life I’ve chosen

 

The entire town was on lockdown, a new killer had moved in and even Slender was wary of him. He was known to all the pastas as “Zalgo”. He’d kill anyone he saw, setting fire to things for fun, to satisfy his bloodlust. You didn’t doubt he’d kill you if he had the chance.

My pain is a blessing in disguise

I feel it cutting and it’s cutting like a knife

My pain, my pain is a blessing in disguise

I feel it cutting and it’s cutting like a knife

 

Slender had ordered the pastas to a meeting, he wanted to talk about a plan on how to stop Zalgo, so that they could get their town back and continue their own killings. It was somehow decided that you were bait, as you were one of the more popular pastas. Some of the others protested, but all had a bad feeling about it, something in their gut was saying that you shouldn’t go.

I will face everything and rise

Never gonna quit until I die

Angels keep falling from the sky

I’ll take their broken wings and learn to fly

I will face everything and rise

 

You were in your human form, silently wishing you were anywhere but there. Sure, you were a Pasta and couldn’t die to human hands, but Zalgo wasn’t exactly known for being human. You were walking along the sidewalk, the street lights flickering ominously as you passed, casting shadows that danced to a soundless tune. You could hear the small sounds of mice, rummaging through garbage and skittering along in empty alleyways. There were a few crickets as well, adding their own music to the night. You froze as everything suddenly went silent.

The earth shakes and the city’s burning

But it feels like the tide is turning
