Silent Whispers (Human Nightmarionne X Reader)

Chapter 18: Losing control

Midnight strikes again as you wake up during the night for the fifth time in a row. You already dread what will happen to you once he enters the room. There he is, opening the door, stepping in and closing it.

"Hello again, [Y/n]!" He says in a cheerful tone.

You don't get out of your bed and try to stay as far as possible from him. Soon your back is against the wall.

" - What's wrong, [Y/n]? Why do you look scared of me?

- YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED BRIAN AND RAVEN!"

He stands still, your two sentences crushing him like a truck.

" - I... I did it?

- Yes! Yes, you did, you monster! How dare you come back here after what you've done?!

- [Y/n]... I'm sorry for what I've done... I... you know I can't control the darkest part of me.

- What are you even doing here?! Why are you in this town?! What brought you to me?!"

He looks down, ashamed, then sighs.

" - I think... I think, but I'm not sure, that my counterpart was caught doing his dirty work in the former city we used to live in. I guess he just decided to move and... fell in love with you.

- Why me?! Why does it have to be me and not someone else?!

- You will have to ask him yourself.

- Oh, really?! Then bring him!"

He stares at you, petrified.

" - No! Please, [Y/n], don't do this. You know what will happen if you pronounce his name. 

- You've never really told me what he would do to me or my surroundings if I summoned him at night.

- [Y/n]... He will kill you.

- Well, if he's truly in love with me, I bet he won't.

- You do not want to do this."

You stare at him menacingly.

" - Bring. him.

- I-I can't do that! If you really want to meet your doom, you have to call him yourself."

You take a deep breath, determined to put an end to this regardless of the outcome.

"CHARLES! WAKE UP AND BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CRIMES!"

Nightmarionne backs up, terrified.

"What have you done?! I warned you... I-"

He interrupts himself, screaming in agony. His white hair turns black and his black eyes turn red. His voice sounds deeper than usual.

"He-e-ello ag-gain, [Y-y/n]."

You look up at him, crying of anger.

"Charles, I hate you! I've always hated you and known something was wrong about you! I should have trusted my guts instead of being so naive to think you could be a good person!"

He starts crying, or at least he sounds like it yet his face wears a creepy wide smile.

"My dear, there's something I'll allow you to know before meeting your fate... I've been manipulating you since day one. I've always been a murderous demon, and you have fallen right into my trap, exactly where I wanted you to be. All of those acts of kindness and caring were fake, all those tears were fake. The only thing I didn't have to pretend was my love for you. But you'll be just one more victim, nothing else. It was nice to be with you for a week, but now it is too late to turn back time. Goodbye, [Y/n]. I could say I'll miss you, but I actually won't."

The last thing you see is him rushing to you, pinning you down onto the bed as he starts lacerating your whole body, tearing you apart. You scream in pain, the world around you turning black.

"Embrace your death."
