My Demonic Angel: An Irys X Male Reader Fan Fiction

Chapter 22: Kronii Tells A Story

Irys and Baelz quietly ate their food after being scolded by Y/n. Slowly the sun sets and the moon appears. The only thing that can be heard was the crackling of the campfire which everyone was sitting around to avoid getting frostbites due to the cold weather. 

Kronii: Everyone ready to hear a story?

Mumei: W-what kind of story Kronii?

Kronii: A, very SCARY ONE!

Mumei was frightened of Kronii suddenly turning deep. She hugs Sana who was sitting next to her on the log bench. 

Y/n: I can't wait to hear this one. 

Baelz: Bet Irys is going to pee herself.

Irys: Bet I'm going to what? Didn't catch that. 

Kronii: Alright alright I'm gonna start.

Kronii swished her hand on the fire that slowly became dust flying. 

Kronii: There was once a man who lived in the jungle with his beautiful wife. They lived humbly in their wooden house on stilts surrounded by green lush trees and bushes. His wife would always cook him delicious food everyday. One unfortunate night, his wife dies mysteriously under unknown circumstances. Many neighbors came to mourn the late wife and help prepare her for the burial on the next day. 

After the last of the mourners left, he was left all alone with his dead wife in the living room. He looks at the time and heads to bed. Everything was quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

Mumei was already frightened and screamed as loud as possible.

Kronii: I HAVEN'T EVEN REACH THE SCARY PART. SHUT UP!

Mumei shivers as the rest of the gang listened to Kronii's story. 

Kronii: So then, he was in bed. Rolling left to right. The man doesn't feel comfortable sleeping, is it because he's sad of losing his wife? is it because it's too hot to sleep? These thoughts were lingering inside his head. However it was far from correct, he rolls to the left facing the door. A figure wrapped in white cloth tied on the head and feet standing. It's face was black as if it was cursed with evil and glowing red eyes. The being screamed for forgiveness and sounds of begging and fire coming from it too. 

The man was startled and jumped out of bed. He shook his head and looked around his empty surrounding. "what in the world was that" he exclaimed while walking to the living room. There was nothing in the living room including his wife's body. His eyes widened. He realizes that the figure was his wife, he loses balance and the world around him was as if it was spinning. The lights went off, all the doors, windows and furniture started rattling. "Earthquake?! What is happening?". He looks back, the lights were flashing non-stop. The figure was there, jumping slowly towards him. It was even worse than before, this time with bugs and an even grotesque smell. 

"Forgive me! Forgive me!" the being shouted. The man replied "What have you done?!". In that moment the floor boards opened up and started to slowly pull down the the zombie like wife, her high pitched shouting forced the man to cover his ears. "I have been an unfaithful wife!" she uttered before being sucked into the ground to never be seen ever again. The End. 

Everyone were understandably very perturbed by Kronii's story. 

Kronii: How was it? Scary right?

Irys: Pfft, barely. I don't believe in ghosts.

Baelz: Yeah Kronii. Could've you thought of something better?

Kronii: Well I really like my story. My stories are the best. I am a genius after all. Dear oh dear, look at the time. We should all hit the hay.

Kronii briskly walks to her tent while everyone looks at each other not knowing what to say. 

Irys: Alrighty, goodnight everyone. Come on Y/n let's go. 

Author's Note

Kronii's story is based off a Malay/Indonesian folklore called "Pocong" which are ghosts that haunt villages and rural areas. It's said that these are cursed people who died with unfinished businesses that were not accepted by the next world. They wander graveyards, jungles and even sit on trees to jump innocent people. Honestly, I don't know why they do that. Really dumb, attention seeking ghosts in my opinion. I googled their images, biggest mistake in my life.
