Silent Whispers (Human Nightmarionne X Reader)

Chapter 12: Beware

The clock strikes midnight as you wake up in the middle of the night for the third night in a row. You hear the same knock on your door. You know who's waiting for you to open.

"Hello again, [Y/n]." Nightmarionne says as he steps into your room.

You both sit down onto your bed.

" - Why are you coming back?

- Because I need to tell you something crucial.

- What is it?"

He looks down and sighs, some locks of his white hair falling onto his eyes.

" - Beware, [Y/n]. No matter how friendly I am, I'm dangerous.

- Then why are you here?!

- I wasn't talking about this form, he explains, tugging on his black shirt. I'm talking about... you know... my second form.

- You haven't told me who it was yet.

- [Y/n], you know it...

- I swear I don't!

- Think. When did I start manifesting?

- A few days ago.

- And what happened a few days ago?

- Uh... I don't know, really.

- I'll try to be more understandable... Who is the new person you met two days ago?

- Uh... Wait..."

You stare at him wide-eyed and gasp.

"YOU ARE CHAR-"

He covers your mouth with one of his hands.

"Don't say it! You know what will happen if you say it now."

Your heart beats faster as you look at him, then you nod. He slowly removes his hand from your face.

"Yes, I am... him..."

You back away from him.

"Stay right where you are!"

He tries to get closer.

"No, please, don't reject me! I'm a good person in this form!"

You push him away.

"I should have never trusted you, you freak!"

He stops in his motion and stares at you in shock. Black tears stream down his face.

"Why... why do you hate me? What have I done to you?"

He cries harder and hides his face with his hands.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU?!!"

All you can do is stare at him, petrified. You're terrified at the prospect of making him upset. You feel like you went too far and that this is your last night on earth. However, to your surprise, he just seems broken by your words instead of being mad at you. He sobs louder and you start worrying if your parents or your siblings can hear you.

"Nightmarionne... Please... Stop crying..."

He looks up at you with downcast eyes and black tears running down his cheeks.

" - I'm sorry for hurting you... I'm just... I'm just scared that you could kill me.

- [Y/n], listen. As I said before, as long as I'm not having black hair during the night, I am harmless. I know I look and act like a creep and a weirdo, but I mean you no harm, at least not in this aspect. Do you believe me?

- I don't know if I can trust you... if I should trust you.

- It's up to you. I won't judge you if you don't feel like I'm a trustworthy person. I know I'm a monster, but I don't want to be this way... I don't want to hurt you... I don't want to be who I am!"

You sigh and look at him.

" - I'll take the risk of trusting you, but don't make me regret it.

- Thank you for your faith in me. Before I go, I need to warn you about something.

- Go ahead.

- Keep an eye on Raven. She's the next one, if my dark counterpart hasn't done his work yet.

- What do you mean?

- I can't say anything else. Beware of him.

- As always.

- See you soon."
