~Don't hate me for this plot twist. This is most likely the last chapter and, Spoiler alert, it doesn't end well. I MIGHT be doing a rewrite but it might be a while cause idek. I really have no motivation and want to branch off into original fiction for a while since I have a story I really wanna write about one of my own characters.
Also I apologize for being so inactive and for how late this chapter is, I've had a lot of medical issues. I had hpilory that finally went fucking away and like a week after my anxiety spiked for some really fucking strange reason and I couldn't leave the house and was hospitalized twice since anxiety attacks make me sick and getting sick dehydrates me faster than I could process that I was actually sick.
Im better now and im on medications to control my anxiety so im powering through it and have already started feeling a lot better.
Onward to mail!~
(Ben's POV)
I'm starting to realize now just how stupid I was for doing this, I understand it felt like the only way out at the time but now I can't get through to link he's terrified of me and its driving me insane. I regret everything; I regret absolutely everything in my long forgotten anger is now boiling up inside me once more. He doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't believe me, clearly he's moved on.
Was he even affected by this? He's been so neutral about it I just don't even know and ill I take away from how he's treating me is rejection. Cold. Hard. Rejection. I've tried everything, absolutely everything to get him to talk to me I don't know what else to do -- it's fucking with my mind.
The only thing I hate more than anything though is he tried to burn the game. I sat there and I watched as he tried to burn the stupid little cartridge but I wouldn't let it burn. I refused to let it melt in that fire because he WILL come home again.
So now I have the game and I refuse to leave this world until link accepts that I am still here only in a past form, spiced up with the scent of death. I'm nothing more than the creation of unfinished business now.
But that's not all I am, I'm so hell-bent Satan doesn't even want my unholy soul, I can feel my mental stability crumble just as before only there will never be a chance to go back if it snaps completely. Sinful desires flood through my hands and I lust for some way to just bring him back to me, to bring back his acceptance.
Was I so easy to replace he just forgot us...? Did he realize he never even liked this relationship in the first place? I saw him with Zelda a few nights ago, and since then it's been happening more often than not, them cuddling I mean, being close, just like we used to be. This feeling is painful, so painful that every time I get closer to getting him back I only dig myself deeper into my own pitfall. It's excruciating.
He's sleeping currently, its deep into a rather cool night and I can't stand watching him forget me. Softly getting up from his desk chair, I silently walked across the room and to his bed, he looked so relaxed... So calm, like he didn't even miss sleeping with me anymore.
He shifted and seemed slightly uncomfortable but I continued to stare at him, a slight glare painted on my face as thick, now cold and acidic blood softly ran down my cheeks, burning slightly. He opened his eyes and seemed to take a moment to realize who I was, and when he did he sat up and seemed to wake up instantly. With a slightly cocky smile, flashing my teeth, I spoke "Morning sunshine" he looked over at the window and then his alarm clock; it was about 2:30am.
"Why are you here?" that was a little harsh. "Do you not want me to be?" I asked, well aware of how my voice took on a sad undertone. He only stared at me in return to this; "Do you not love me anymore?" "Ben..." "Was my death your escape from what we fought so hard for?" I could basically see my words carving straight into him.
"Ben, what the hell are you talking about?" "You're denying me," "denying you?" "It just seems like you're trying to forget me even though I'm still here" Why am I telling him how I feel, he should fucking realize this. He didn't reply to me. I felt the brightness increase in my irises and the blood flow just a little bit faster. "Ben, are you crying" I closed my eyes and honestly tried my best to not give him an answer he knew was the truth. I tried not to sob and I tried to just stop myself but I felt so much pain in my since stopped heart. He sat up more and came closer to me, reaching up to wipe away the bloody tears, to this I instinctively swatted his hand away "It's not blood." I snapped, honestly not wanting to hurt him.
He jumped a little from the harshness of my tone, "what?" "Its not blood, Link." "what... do you mean? It-" "Fine. Touch it. I dare you." The red glowed slightly brighter as I said that and I didn't mean for it to happen but it did. He lowered his hand and I just turned away from him. "why wont you believe me...?" "what is there to believe?" "That I went home! We can go hom! Do you not want that? We can all go home please link its so lonely..." "Ben..." "Please link" I involuntarily started sobbing. "I cant... I cant and I wont. This is a chance to live the childhood I never had and im not going to give it up for something that doesn't exsist anymore" He said that so calmly and the words cut so deep into me I felt myself glitch out just a bit from this.
I just left.
(Link's POV)
I shook off that experience and tried to fall asleep again but to no avail. I sat up again and got up from the bed, then just paced around my room. I knelt on the floor and softly ran my fingers over the Nintendo 64. I haven't touched it out of respect and I don't think I want to anyway. I stood up and paced the room again, leaning on the vanity slightly.

The next day at school I was tired and the day was dragging on, I felt like I was walking through a hallway of emptiness and felt sleep deprived, hungry and just miserable. I was in no mood to eat though and just wanted to sleep. I almost fell asleep during Science class at the end of the day but Eli managed to get me to stay awake by softly hitting my arm since she was in this class and happened to be my lab partner, can't say that wasn't on purpose though, we saw the chance and took it when we could.
"did you sleep at all last night?" she whispered to me. "I tried to" "did something happen?" Both our heads snapped up when the teacher spoke directly to us "Do I need to move you table four?" "Its my fault Mr.Reece" Eli jumped in, i looked at her, "I was making sure he felt alright" She softly placed a hand on my forehead and i knew to keep my mouth shut, only honestly i was too tired to care anyway. "Oh, he seems a bit war... c-can i take him to the nurse?" "Im really dizzy..." I spoke, speaking the honest truth. "Alright, make it quick. I hope you feel better, Link" He said, quickly scribbling out to hall passes. He handed them to eli and then we left the room.
"Eli..." "You need to go home and sleep" "Ill be fine" "Youre on the verge of passing out, dad, you need to go home and sleep." I couldnt reply and just nodded softly. She walked with me down to the nurse and the bell went off a bit later. Eli sighed. "ill get a late pass" i couldnt reply at this point as i was deathly close to lulling off. The nurse immediatly noticed this and called the orphanage and i was home within 20 minutes.
I dont remember walking up to my room but i woke up in my bed, I was still very drowsy but i felt a strange feeling in my chest, like someone was in here. I felt like my heart beat stopped for a second. I Immediatly noticed the red and blinked a bit, it was gone. I then felt hands wrap around my waist after i sat up and felt a burning sensation on my shoulder and neck. "Link... please forgive me... i just wanted to get everything back..." i felt his teeth softly on my neck and bite in slightly and i moaned in pain, clenching my fingers into the bed sheets. "so tense... relax, love" "Fuck off" I felt a fake pout without even seeing him and he sighed sadly. "alright then, fine" He said sarcastically.
He walked to the front of me. "Link, ive me a night to proove to you im real ok?" I shook my head and he softly ran his fingers over his cheek, then paused a moment and reached out to my cheek and touched it lightly. A strong and hellish burning ran through me and yelped in pain. He began to wipe more of this acidic blood on me and i tried to force him off me but to no avail. I was sobbing in pain and the pain was unbearable.
Sitting up, panting heavily and immediatly looking around my room, i sighed and relaxed abit, it was nightmare..."it was a stupid nightmare...." i whispered to myself. I then felt a hand on my back softly and tensed as i felt something sharp dig into my back. I gasped immediatly and felt my eyes widen to insane extents. "You wouldnt believe me so im gonna show you home ok? Im gonna show you that im not lying and that you can come back!" I felt the pain increase in whatever was in my back then become terrifyingly awful as he spun what i could only assume was a knife, slowly, painfully. Teasing almost. I couldnt help but cry out loudly in pain and he put a hand around my mouth to which i bit it and started sobbing and trying to get away. I was already feeling dizzy and i didnt know what to do anymore.
I saw the lights in the hallways turn on and ben immediatly pulled the knife out and jumped out the window. I hesitated to look down and saw the blade had ACTUALLY gone through me and blood coated the blankets and my shirt and everything. The bedroom door opened and i couldnt even look up before immediatly blacking out.
(Eli's POV)
Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit NO. NO NO NO. NOT MY DAD. ANYTHING. BUT. MY DAD. I didnt know what was going on but all i know is he was hurt badly, very badly, and might not wake up. I was hanging back as i wanted a moment alone with marshall and we went outside. "I hope hes okay..." "They said hemight not wake up eli..." "I know" I pulled him into a hug and he cried with me silently. "How nice, my wonderful children together... makes this all the more easy." I still had my arms around marshall and suddenly we both tensed immediatly, feeling something against the bottoms of our chins.
Cold metal, very cold, round... It was a gun. Looking up to the sides i saw chichi standing there with a smile on his face. "we can go home now guys! We can go home! Isnt that great? We can be a family again and have our old life back, doesnt that sound amazing?" I knew chichi was a psychopath but i didnt realize it was to this extent. "c-chichi ple-" The gun was shoved a bit harder against my flesh. "daddys gonna join us too, and zelda... oh your dear mother...." "Dont you touch her" "Nobody can take us away dont you wanna be a family again?" "Let us go" "why? So you can abandon me like your father did? Im getting lonley here by my self... no family... no nothing... i want it back" "shouldve thought of that before you jumped in a lake" "It was a pond and shut your fucking mouth" he said, clenching his finger a bit more around the trigger. "Marshall!" "Shut it Eli" "dont hurt him!" "could save the best for last, oh honey i love you so much dont you know that? I never hated you i never had thoughts about not wanting you... im sorry" "Bullshit!" Thats when the silencing ring of a gunshot rang out and i immediatly screamed and jumped back out of his grasp, He just shot marshall and theres no way where he shot him marhsalls gonna survive that. I couldnt stop the tears flowing from my eyes and i immediatly tried to fight back only to have a Sharp pain run through my chest as well, the actual sound of the shot being muffled dramatically by the ringing in my ears. "You can finally come home... Finally a family again..." I heard, as i slowly felt myself loose conciousness.
"You've met with a terrible fate... havent you....?" I heard him whisper before everything... went dark...
