....
Oh.. oh god..
The littles girl's ashes remained in the same spot to where she weep a few moments ago.
You looked at the woman in horror.
Who.. who is she..?
You begin to back away from the masked woman, thinking of ways on how to escape.
"I'll see you then, reader."
That was her last words before she disappeared in a blink of an eye.
She.. wh.. she's.. she's a monster..!
You panicked, then immediately ran out of the attic and closed the hatch.
You went downstairs, tumbling down as you went, it didn't hurt at all though- you are a doll anyway.
"Woah there Doll take it easy. You look like you've seen a ghost!" Barnaby said as he gently picked you up.
You climbed up his arm and just stayed on his shoulder, huddling yourself up as you replayed what happened a few moments ago.
She took out the baton from behind her lower back, it extended into some boney material.. a scythe.
"Please.. I don't want to go yet..!"
The woman stayed silent, her expression hidden from behind her mask.
"I'll give you time to say goodbye."
She pierced the scythe on the little girls chest, then the girl turned to dust.. or ashes.
You looked at the scene in horror, how can this.. woman be so heartless!?
«you... You're a monster!» you looked at the woman with your glassy eyes filled with hatred and anger.
«are you.. a grim reaper..!?» you exclaimed, your sharp gaze on her mask.
"..no. I am no reaper." She replied, her boney scythe retracted itself back into its baton form.
«then what are you...?»
The woman stayed silent for a few beats, then spoke.
"Call me Soulkeeper."
Soulkeeper...?
You cuddled yourself up to Barnaby's neck. He was a bit bothered by this since you were clingy than usual.
"I'll be taking my leave now, make sure (y/n) doesn't get into a mess!" Wally announced as he walked out of the front door, leaving it shut behind him.
"You okay, Doll?" Barnaby asked with a concerned tone. He gently rubbed your back as you continue to huddle up to him.
«...yes.» you lied.
..reader.
That's.. that's not my name, yet she called me reader for some odd reason.
That's.. that's plain weird. I have to get to the bottom of this....!

In the end you didn't.
You were kind of distracted when Barnaby put up ratatouille and you very much forgot the whole Soulkeeper situation thing, well, not that it was that important anyway.
You and Barnaby just spent your whole day binge watching in Netflix, you just forgotten the whole thing up in the attic. Boy oh boy guess who woke up in the middle of the night panicking.
«AAACK I FORGOT TO ASK BARNABY ABOUT THE SOULKEEPER THING!» you shrieked as you sat up from your usual sleeping spot. Wally already came home and barnaby left over a few hours ago.
«eeek! (Y/n) why?!» you held your head as your eyes went spirals, you were so overwhelmed.. how can you just forget something so important!? There's a Soulkeeper- no.. SoulKiller in the loose!
You need to stop whoever that woman was.. but you're just a doll, how can you?
«ill just think about it tomorrow morning..» you mumbled to yourself.
You wanted comfort, you don't want to be alone.
Wally is asleep peacefully though..
...
«wally..?» you mumbled, patting his cheeks gently.
Wally groaned a little, he glared at you angrily but his Express softens once he saw you.
"Oh.. (y/n).. what's wrong..?"
«can I sleep with you?» you said with a hint of embarrassment in your voice. Wally chuckled softly and nodded, patting his chest for you to lay on.
You just huddled up on his chest, feeling a bit at ease.
"Good night (Y/n)."
«good night, human.»
Slowly, you drift off to the abyss..
--------------------------
"You lot are very interesting... Why are you mad about me knowing you're still there? Reading through a screen, playing imaginary scenarios in your head as you do so?"
she chuckled softly.
"Rest easy, readers. What I do is not your problem. What happens next is in the hands of fate, the Author, The Crow."
May you rest well, safety travels.
------------------------
You wake up from the dream.
«what a weird dream.» you whispered to yourself.
