The Stone Castle on The Hill (Technoblade x reader)

Chapter 18 - ...Who- What is that...?

Age reference: Y/n is 15, Techno is almost 18

:]

This chapter contains like- the paranormal, and scary.... Stuff? Not 100% sure about that last one-

It had been a while since the duo got back. Well- it had been a few months. It was currently the middle of the night. For some odd reason, Y/n couldn't fall asleep. So, she just lay there, looking up at the drapes of her bed. 

There was a creek, but Y/n didn't think anything of it. 

A second, closer, louder creek.

Y/n finally looked around her room slightly with her eyes. Not far from the door of her room, was a dark figure. It was tall, maybe 8 or 9 feet tall. 

Y/n froze with fear. Paralyzed. Under her blanket, she pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. 

She wasn't.

The figure didn't seem to have eyes- or at least Y/n couldn't tell if it did. The creature walked closer to her bed, and just stood at the side. It was almost like it was looking over her. Maybe it thought she was asleep? 

It seems like years as Y/n just laid frozen with fear under her covers. She pretended to be asleep, not moving, and tightly keeping her eyes shut.

Eventually, probably after an hour or two, the monster shifted slightly, before disappearing into- maybe through- the floor. Y/n continued to lay there, paranoid it would come back...

That day Y/n had a hard time focusing. She almost fell asleep a few times during the day, and jumped at a few things.

The next night, as Y/n laid in bed, paranoid, she heard the same creek. She slightly turned from laying on her side to look at the door, and saw the same creature as the prior night. It took long, silent strides towards her bed, before stopping, and looming over her. 

Y/n again, did not sleep, and laid paralyzed in fear the rest of the night. Eventually, the creature disappeared into the floor again.

After dinner Y/n was working in her study. The door opened, but Y/n didn't realize. She was too caught up in her own little traumatized world to care.

Y/n held her pen against the paper, it starting to create a small pool of ink. The pen got gently stripped from her hand by another's, before it was set down. Y/n looked up at who had taken the utensil, and was met with Technoblade's scarlet eyes staring deeply into her own.

"Are you okay?" Technoblade asked, genuinely concerned about the dark bags that stood out under Y/n's e/cs eyes.

"Oh..." it took Y/n's mind a second to process what he had asked. "I'm fine."

Technoblade's frown deepened, and his brows furrowed. "One, that is a lie, and two..." the king paused as he reached his hand out and cupped Y/n's cheek. "What's scaring you to the point you aren't sleeping...?" He asked.

Y/n hesitated, "it's nothing, really."

The king sighed, "how about you stay with me in my room tonight?" Technoblade offered.

The girl paused for a second, "really?" She asked. "Would you let me?" 

"Of course. I'd rather you stay with me and get sleep than be on your own and not." Technoblade smiled. "Plus, you look like you are going to fall asleep at any second, and Tommy almost scared the living daylights out of you three times yesterday without even trying."
