READER'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes and then I sat up from the ground to see that I'm not in Therinfal Redoubt anymore. I stood up and frowned when I realised where I was. This is where the Envy demon is supposed to learn more about me before it can copy my form and pretend to be me and control the Inquisition.

"Damn...I hoped to avoid this situation..." I mumbled before I started walking. When I first started playing this scene from the game, it creeped me out but to see it in person is even freakier.

I walked passed some burnt corpses before I saw two familiar figures. Josephine and Cullen. I knew they weren't real but, they seem real to me. I heard a gasp before I turned my head to see Leliana walking towards me with an evil smirk on her face.

"Is this shape useful? will it let me know? everything tells me about you," The fake Leiliana spoke before she stood behind Cullen and held a knife at his throat.

"So will this: watch."

My eyes widen and I was about to stop her but I had to remind myself this isn't real. Envy is trying to scare and weaken me. I calmed myself down and spoke in confidence.

"A demon. Am I supposed to scream in terror next?"

The demon was silent for a moment before the fake Leiliana slit Cullen's throat. I watched Cullen collapse onto the ground and then I jumped a little. 

'Its not real! its not real! its not real!' I thought to myself before the demon mimicked my voice.

"Scream in terror next?"

I watched Leiliana back away and then she merged into the shadows before the fake Josephine laughed and held the knife in her hand with an evil smirk.

"Being you will be so much more interesting than being the Lord Seeker," The demon spoke before it vanished from my sight for a moment it reappeared behind me.

"Do you know what the Inquisition can become? You'll see."

I turned around quickly only to see nothing. I continued to hear the demon speak to me, "When I'm done, the Elder One will kill you and ascend. Then I will be you."

"Who or what is this Elder One?" I asked with a frown.

"Hahaha! He is between things. Mortal once, but no longer," The demon spoke before it reappeared beside while using Josephine's form.

"Glory is coming. And the Elder One wants you to serve him like everyone else: by dying in the right way."

"Keep talking then," I spoke with a frown before I watched the fake Josephine walk away from me and then the demon started to talk like Cullen.

"I am not your toy! I am Envy and I will know you! Tell me Herald, in your mind," The fake cullen spoke as he held the dagger in his hand before stabbing another me in the back.

"Tell me what you think!" It demanded as the other me fell onto the ground before the fake Cullen reappeared beside me with the war table's map in front of him.

"Tell me what you feel!"

I sensed something behind me and I turned around to see another me clutching her wound where she had been stabbed. I looked down at my hand to see that I'm holding the knife that was used to slash Cullen's throat. I gasped and dropped the knife.

"Tell me what you see," I heard Envy whisper in my voice.

I starting to freak out because this is way creepier and scarier in person compared to the video game. Just then, I heard beeping from the other side of the door before I slowly approached it. I placed both hands on the double doors and pushed them open to see that I'm inside the hospital. I was confused at first before I heard sobbing. I walked towards the room and when I peaked inside, I saw a scene that brought back a painful memory. It my grandmother on her deathbed and the woman who was crying wasn't my mother but me.
