The Mind Electric (A Chester X Parker fic)

Chapter 44: The Mind Electric

His mind was hazy.

The smog around him was quickly filling his lungs, soon there would be no more air left for him to breathe.

He was dying, wasn't he? Chester was going to die in his own mind.

And so he prepared to take his final breath...

....

"HEEyyyYY!" Narc shouts, somehow falling from the ceiling and splatting onto the ground.

Chester's body jumps up at the sight of Narc suddenly appearing out of thin air.

"N-Narc?" Chester coughed, backing away with what little energy he had left.

"OhhhhhHHH, BUDDYY! I'MMM SOO SORRY!!" Narc cries, opening their arms out for a hug.
Though, they do quickly retract the hug due to Chester most likely dying from it.

"What...can't...breathe." Chester coughs again, letting his arms and legs give out as he falls to the ground.

"OHH JEEEZZ!" Narc yells, looking around the room for the book.
"AHA! CHESTTERR! HANGG IN THEREE!" Narc smiles, flipping through the pages before landing on the bookmarked one.

Chester's hearing was starting to give out as well, there was only a faint high pitched noise ringing through his ears.

Then...there was darkness.

Did he die?

....

......
..........
No, of course he didn't!

A huge wave of energy suddenly goes through his entire body, an amount so huge that it made him gasp out for air.

Chester lifted his head up, breathing in fresh air as he stood to his feet, looking frantically around the room for what could've possibly saved him.

Then...without warning, his heart dropped again.

In front of him, where the pentagram was at, stood a tall, gooey monster lady. She had what looked to be a million multicolored eyes on her face, absolutely no nose in sight, and a mouth that could stretch for miles.

She also looked to be wearing a damaged dress, the original color of it was totally unknown, for it was all covered in that disgusting black goop.

Her hair....
well, actually, her hair was perfectly fine.
It was a beautiful silky black color, very long as well.

But still, overall very terrifying.

Chester's eyes didn't even have time to focus on what then pushed him to the ground, mostly in attempt to get him away from whoever that woman was.

"My sweet, sweet...Narcissus...have you finally done it? Have you successfully completed the ceremony for your wonderful and kind mother?" The lady's voice echoed throughout the room.

After finally focusing on what's happening, Chester could see Narc standing in front of him, their back turned.

"UhM...aboutttt thattt..." Narc coughed nervously, "I uH...actuaLLy have A nEw plaN..."

The woman's smile quickly faded from her face, crossing her long arms to her chest.
"What...do you mean, dear?" She asks, gritting her teeth.

"IIII MEANN...uHHH..."
....
Narc heavily sighed to themself, shooting their head up from looking at the ground, "I meannn...I'm....nottt completingggg my missionnn..."

Suddenly, the room goes dark, like someone turned off the lights.

"What...?" She hisses, stepping closer to them.
