The fourth wall (Ipliers xreader)

Ch. 13 careful now

"It was around midnight, and almost the whole castle was sleeping. Yes, almost. (Y/N) sat against the headboard, staring blankly into the room. She stared at the dim moonlight falling into the room on the ground. She sighed, and just sat there. She couldn't sleep.  She had tried, but with no result. From all that waiting, she eventually had to go to the bathroom. So she stood up, and tiptoed over to her bedroom door. She opened it and peeked around the corner to look through the hallways. She saw guards standing, some were sitting on a chair and sleeping. The torches in the hall made the creepy castle even a better place for real life nightmares.  (Y/N) took a deep breath and closed the door behind her. Still in her maid's outfit, she walked over the hallway, not really knowing where the bathroom was."

"MAID!!! Stop right there!!" "(Y/N) froze and didn't dare to turn around." "What are you doing here, maid" "she heard the man say, seeing him step in front of her." "I-I need to use the bathroom" "she told him. The guard nodded and pointed at a direction, straight towards a door. (Y/N) was assuming that that was the bathroom, and walked up to it. She slowly opened the door and yes, a bathroom with black, shiny stones as a wall, the mirror above the sink was a circle, surrounded by teeth pointing to the outside. The ceiling was red. (Y/N) assumed that it was just paint, but it looked like blood too. There were some white candles on the sink, and a little higher, next to the toilet."

"(Y/N) took a pee and walked back to the hallway again. She looked left and right and noticed there were no guards anymore. Only here and there maybe two, but they were sleeping. It was also dead silent. (Y/N) closed the door behind her, and the sound of the door closing, was quite loud. Suddenly, she felt as if someone was standing close behind her. She got nervous. Could it be king Dark? Or another dirty pervert in the castle? She quickly turned around, but saw no one standing there, and the feeling of a presence had disappeared again."

"Weird...." "She said quietly to herself, letting the silence swallow her voice. She wanted to start walking, but somehow she stopped again, feeling that same presence behind her. She didn't hesitate and turned around. She gasped loudly at what she saw. It was a very tall person, in a black robe, just standing there, towering over the girl. (Y/N) covered her mouth and tried not to scream, knowing she would get in trouble for that. The robe covered the person's face and body, so she couldn't make out a figure. She couldn't tell if the person was male of female. Though the person reminded her of the person in the woods, that was walking so fast, but this person is twice that high, so that couldn't be. (Y/N) gulped nervous," "who...who are you" "she asked, her voice slightly shaking. The person just stood there. (Y/N) kept looking up, waiting for an answer. She could ask again, or run to her room. She didn't dare to move, nor to talk. Suddenly, she heard the person in the robe take a silent, deep breath, as if it was preparing to use it's voice," "what is a girl like you doing in the hall? A girl so innocent, so small?" "The person asked. (Y/N) was slightly confused by the rhyming, but just went with it," "I need to use the bathroom, but I was on my way back to my room" "she said, talking quite fast. The person leaned a bit forward," "sweet little girl, where is your fright? The man with the face, wanders at night" "his voice was raspy, and growly."

"(Y/N) looked behind her," "t-the man with the face?" "She gulped nervously." "W-who is that? W-where is he?" "She asked. The creepy man was silent again, as if progressing each word, one by one." "Oh little girl, can't you see? The man with the face, that is me" "(Y/N)'s eyes widened. But she couldn't see his face at all, the black robe covered half his face, and the rest was just darkness, as if there was no person at all in the robe. (Y/N) looked behind her again, she didn't know why, maybe just to see if someone actually saw what was happening. But there was no one. Even when she turned around, the man in the black robe was gone. She looked through the halls, and suddenly, there was a cold wind sending chills up her spine, giving her goosebumps. The torches suddenly blew out, and the only light the castle had, was the dim moonlight. (Y/N) made her way to her bedroom, not daring to look behind her. She quickly shut the door and slid down it, hugging her legs when she reached the ground."
