This follows the story of Y/N, who is struggling with the change of being an imposter. They don't want to hurt anyone that they cared so dearly. But the voices of the imposters keep on pestering them. Will they ignore them and do their very best to...
I stared at the ceiling of the room on my bed, while thinking about what I saw last night.....Ok, I actually had another nightmare of losing friends to the imposters. This has been constantly happening to me for about a week now. I can't get a good sleep, not even with P/N sleeping nearby me. I do feel exhausted. But yet, I don't want to deal with another night terror. I guess that's why I'm so reluctant on getting some shut eye. My thoughts were interrupted by a concern parasite pet gently headbutting against the side of my head. I let out a yawn and look at it, 'Hey P/N. I know that you're worried about me. But I'll be fine. I just...don't want to fall asleep right now. That's all.'. That didn't make it feel any better. Instead, it looked even more concern than before. It's not stupid. It can obviously tell that I wasn't able to sleep very well.
I rubbed my sleepily, "Fine. You got me. I don't want to deal with my nightmares right now. They feel...too realistic. The thought of losing my friends....it truly scares me. Way more than it should've. I already lost some of them to the imposters. I don't want...". I couldn't finish my sentence, since I can't bare thought of ACTUALLY losing the rest of them. The thought of them being killed by the imposters. The thought of them being mistaken by those monsters. The thought of being ALONE in all of this. P/N seemed to understand that I'm scared and stressed out, which earned me another headbutt by it. I simply glanced at it, "I know. I shouldn't let things like that get to me. But-". It quickly shook it's head, hop off the bed and slither out of the room. I got off the bed and start following it. I guess it want me to just get some fresh air. It's not entirely wrong about that. Other than the sound of the parasite slithering and my footsteps, the hallway was pretty much silent. I'm fairly current everyone is asleep. Brown might be up late again getting everything set up for tomorrow. Red might not be doing so hot with their night terrors.
I sadly can't do anything much to stop it. I mean it's not from a lack of trying. I suggested maybe talk to me about their nightmares. It didn't help much. But it was better than nothing. Speaking of Red, I was halfway walking passed the door to their room. I looked down at P/N and sighed, "It'll just be a minute.". I slowly open the door and walk inside. Yep. Just as I expected, Red is having a night terror again. I quietly approached their bed, pull up a chair and sat down nearby them. I gently spoke to them, "Red, I may not have a single idea what's going through your mind right now. But please know that you're friends are here for you. WE are here for you. Whatever it be imposters. Your fears. Your doubts. Your worries. No matter what it is that's eating you up, we'll be there to help you stand right back up. Just don't forget who you're friends truly are or let those dark thoughts cloud your morals.". I glared at the window, choosing the right words of comfort to say. "You may haven't told them the truth yet. But when you do, we'll still be here for you, imposter or crewmate. You're still our friend after all.", I say happily. Red slowly stopped thrashing and had a more peaceful smile in their sleeping form. Good. I managed to help them this time. Maybe they'll sleep much better tonight.
I got up from the seat and exit out of their room. I spotted P/N rolled up on the floor with an impatient look. But as soon as it realize I'm back, it expression change to concern. Odd. I've never seen it look so impatient over going outside before. It's usually the opposite of that. But,, regardless of my slight suspicions, I crouch down to it's height and gave it a head pat, "Red's doing much better. Now, we can get go get some fresh air.". It nods in agreement and resumes leading me. There's so much on my mind. Both minor and major. After the contest with Orange, they still act egotistical. But not as badly as I first met them. In fact, we're slowly becoming better friends. We do kinda argue who gets to cook for the crewmates from time and time again. Thankfully, during those times, we end up just making the food together. Brown is ok in my book. Sure, it felt wrong to make Red to do Blue's tasks as well. Besides, I ended up volunteering giving Red a hand with half of it. Other than that, Brown is mostly considerate of everyone. They would check up on me or any of my friends to see if I'm still doing alright with the whole incident at Skeld. It's nice to see that they care enough to do that.
Tan is a pretty good doctor to have around. Like a few days ago, when I accidently burnt my hand from connecting the wrong wires. Thankfully it wasn't too bad of an injury. They gave me some advice on how to take care of it in order to let it heal properly. We seriously need more crewmates like them. As for Fortegreen, they're great at fixing pretty much anything. Jammed doors? Not a problem! Vents stuffed with garbage? All cleaned up! Heaters out? Good as new! You get the idea. This place would've been in shambles, if it wasn't for them. I was snapped out of my thoughts, when I step outside. Finally. The nice cool air. I sighed out of satisfaction and sat down. P/N curled up next to me shortly after. I stared at the beautiful star night sky, "P/N, there's so much on my mind. But there's something that has been bothering me lately.". The parasite gives me a confused look with it's head tilted, like it's telling me to go on. I fiddle with my hands, "I know that Olive is only a new crewmate and all. But I think...I'm starting to slowly understand Red's warning. I recall...seeing them smiling at me as I was falling asleep on the first night as my roommate.". I shook my head, not wanting to believe what I saw that very night. "I don't want to just jump into conclusions or be pointing fingers at an innocent person.". I looked down at the ground with concern with very mixed feelings. "It would be wrong to do that without any clear evidence or alibis.", I said with a tone of frustration. I turn my attention back to P/N, "I get what I mean, right?".
It just blep at me, which made me chuckle. They know how to lighten the mood every time. It would comfort me, during my vents or mental breakdowns, if there's nobody else around to help me. I have no idea how I would've handle any of it without P/N. Probably most likely be a total emotional mess. A huge shadow was casted over us. Wait what? I don't remember seeing any clouds nearby. Maybe it's someone standing there? That doesn't seem to be the case. P/N seem beyond concern for me. I didn't understand why, until I turn my attention to the one responsible for it. The huge creature-No! A huge mass of a parasite is staring at us with intimation. It's much bigger than the station itself. I don't know what to do. I'm frozen where I sat at. I'm too scared to do anything. P/N tried to get me to move by grabbing my hand with it's mouth and tug me inside. Of course that didn't work cause it's too small. The mass kept it's attention now only on me with it's many red eyes. Several tendrils suddenly sprout out of that thing. Seeing this finally made me get up and start hurrying back inside.
However, as I was halfway to the door, I trip on my stomach. I didn't understand why. There wasn't any rocks nearby. I quickly look at my right leg to spot a tendril wrap around it. I freaked out by tugging onto it. That was a mistake. More tendrils got a good hold of my other leg and my torso. It slowly start to pull me towards the mass. I move my body around to hopefully break it's grip. I turned to P/N with a look of fear in my eye. It look just as scared as I am. But it also look guilty??? I'm too panicked to think about that right now. I shouted, "P/N, go get he-". I cries were silence with a tendrils covering my nonexistent mouth. I tried to get it off of me to only have my hands held back. It's truly hopeless. I can't stop whatever fate this beast has for me. I feeling like someone is wrapping me tightly in a blanket cocoon. The mass is blocking my vision. However, I last saw P/N rushing inside the station. Please hurry before it's too late...
