See Right Through Me - Millard Nullings x reader

17 The book nook

Y/n pov

"I'm actually going to kill you."
"Maybe Millard won't be so lonely then."
I turned and ripped off the blind fold. I slapped him so hard he fell to the ground. He wiped his lip and chuckled to himself.

"Do that again and I'll lock you in Millard's book nook."

The whole way through the woods I tripped over every rock, stick, and occasionally myself. I've had it with this nonsense.

"I'm done. I'm not doing this anymore."

Enoch grabbed my ankle and stood up. He put a hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear,"you're not going anywhere."

A chill ran down my spine. The last thing my father said to me before I ran and killed him. I started shaking at the thought. It finally hit me. I kill everyone I love. I fell to the ground. Enoch walked around to face me.

"Why are you crying again?"

A single tear ran down my face,"everyone I ever loved died," I looked up at him from the dirt floor,"Enoch-"

He sat on the ground in front of me,"I play with dead things. It's not that bad. The smell isn't great but it's mostly the formaldehyde."

"Ugh! That's not the point! I can't lose another person!"

He took my hands and looked in my eyes,"I'm not going anywhere."

"Not until I kill you on accident," I rolled my eyes and stood up from the soggy leaf spot I was sitting on.

He took my hand,"I'd like that very much."

"You fucking depressed-"

He put his hand over my mouth,"shut up! We don't have time for this," he whined. He slipped the blind fold over my eyes again. Enoch took my hand and led me through the woods until we reached a clearing.

I stopped in my tracks. I knew this path. I could feel the ground beneath my shoes. I couldn't move. I couldn't walk. I was paralyzed. I was scared. I felt so lost. The kind of lost you feel when you know where you are but have nowhere to go. Lost in a never ending circle.

Enoch nudged me forward. I stood still. He shoved me this time. I took a step forward for balance. I shiver ran down my spine. A single tear wet the blindfold.

"We came all this way for you to just stop and cry? Really? Don't make me do this."

I turned my head to the side to say something but  was quickly cut off. I felt my body be thrown limply over his shoulder along with a slight grunt. "Sorry, I thought you would be lighter."

"Damn, okay. Wow, I was not expecting you to say that."

"Oh! So you can talk but you can't walk, huh? Lovely!" His sarcasm is as annoying as Millard talking about all the pig sounds on the island.

Millard used to say,"So Francine says oink at 1:34 and again at 2:56 and 3:37, and grunts an average of every 13 minutes. Wait until you hear about Gerald!"

I chuckle at the thought. "What's so funny? I'm about to lock you in a shed!"

"Nothing, just... Millard."

I hear the latch of the door open. I freeze.
"Oh hey! This is great! A bed, stove, lamps, fully stocked! And you can see the pigs from here!" He plopped me down on the bed,"welp, have fun in here for a week. Here's a bucket." I heard the rattle next to me.

"Alright, I'm gonna lock the door and you're gonna take off the blindfold."

I nodded my head but froze,"Enoch, it locks from the inside."

"Yeah, I'm staying with you."
I rip off the blindfold and stand up off the bed," absolutely not. This I have to on my own."
"I don't want you to hurt yourself-"
"Enoch that's part of the process-"
"Well I can't just wait back at the house thinking that you might do something to yourself! I couldn't live myself!"
"You could always visit," I point to the window to my left,"you don't have to-"
He grabbed my hands. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but forgot all the words. I lifted his chin and looked into his eyes,"you need to watch over Claire and Millard. You have a job at the house. I just float about like a ghost. They need you there."

"But what if I need you."
I just smiled. That caught me off guard. I don't know what to do. I felt my arms tingle with electricity the bulb behind me started to glow. I pushed him through the open door and with the boost of the extra shock he went flying. I quickly shut the door and locked it.
"Sorry Enoch!" I yelled through the door.

I look at the light bulb expecting it to be shattered. It was fully intact.
