Request: Anonymous asked: Hi Bon! Can I request Nicholas Scratch and a female human reader + Simply knowing you existed wasn't good enough for me. I needed to have you. To keep you for myself. #Halloween2023

"What is wrong with you?" You asked and glared at Nick. He had shown up out of the blue one day and befriended you. It had been a slow-going friendship but it was clear that he wanted more from you.

"Simply knowing you existed wasn't good enough for you. I needed to have you. To keep you for myself." He answered. The two of you had been walking home. He always walked you home and by the time you closed your door and rushed to peek out of the window down the side of the front door, he was gone. You frowned at him. It started to rain as you thought over what he said.

"You knowing I existed wasn't good enough for me?" You asked and narrowed your eyes, looking at him suspiciously. He nodded and smiled. It had started to rain lightly as the two of you spoke.

"You deserve better than..." He trailed off and gestured towards town. You gave him a hard stare and started walking again. Hurrying to keep up with you he jogged a few steps forwards and tried to keep up with your fast pace.

"That's creepy." You pointed out. He sighed and nodded slowly.

"I can see how that... could be... seen that way." He said carefully. You hummed and stopped at the end of your driveway. Watching him carefully you smiled and turned to walk down the driveway, leaving him there without saying a word. You expected him to follow you or to turn and leave but he just waited until you were inside. You rushed to the window and yet again he was gone. After a few minutes, your friends ran down the drive and let themselves in.

"He vanished." They said excitedly.

"Well yeah, I know he does that. That's why I asked for your help figuring out what his deal is." You said quickly. One of them shook their head and held up their phone.

"He vanished!" They repeated and showed you a video of the two of you. Once you heard your front door close in the video he vanished from sight. You stared at the phone as the video ended. "We... I need to do some research or something!"

"Something." You agreed in surprise. The three of you stayed up most of the night, finding an old notebook that you ripped the use pages out and started searching what could be going on online. You managed to find a chat room that was dedicated to witches and warlocks.

"This is silly. I know what we all saw but come on. Witches? This guy is talking about hunting people down that he thinks are witches." Your friend said quietly. You snapped your laptop shut.

"Why don't we go to the library tomorrow? We can see if there are some books or something..." You offered when the three of you became equally creeped out by the online ramblings. Agreeing, the three of you settled in to watch an old cartoon rerun and quickly forgot about the whole ordeal for a few hours.
