The Rising Angel~BEN Drowned Fanfiction

Chapter 10

Silver's P.O.V

I wake up extremely early to a snoring Crosshatch. Drool slides from her mouth wetting the pillow beneath her, as well as a strand of my hair. I sit up and face the digital clock next to me. 3:33 a.m. Stupid insomnia. I couldn't sleep without thinking about Ben. Nightmares filled my thoughts and fear replaced my sleepiness in the dead silence. I snuck down the stairs and into Ben's room, careful not to disturb Crosshatch. He was sound asleep on his side of the bed and I slowly crept next to him. He wrapped his arms around me, protectively which scared the s**t out of me."You're awake?" I gasped. "The bed was cold without you." he whispered in my ear, "Couldn't sleep?" I shook my head, "Aw, my poor baby." he stroked my hair. "Why does it smell like saliva?" I pulled my hair to the side, "You don't want to know." I heaved under my breath. He snickered and I fell asleep, peacefully in his arms.

The next morning, Ben woke me up around eight. "Sorry, Silver. Don't want you to get in trouble." I groaned and got up. I kissed him on the forehead and scurried to my room. Crosshatch was sitting up in bed, her blonde hair a tangled mess. "Where've you been?" she asked. God, she sounded like my mother. "I went downstairs to get something to drink." I attempted to sound casual. "Hmm, okay. Let's just get breakfast." she trotted past me and out the door. I sighed in relief. I don't know how long I can keep this up... I followed Crosshatch into the kitchen, where Hoodie, Masky, and E.J were. "Mornin' peeps!"

"Morning, Silver!" they bellowed. I got myself some Lucky Charms and joined the four of them at the table. I just happened to sit next to Jack and Crossy gave me a wink. I rolled my eyes at her obliviousness. "Slenderman wanted to see you." Masky spoke in monotone, "It's really important." when I finished my cereal, I washed my bowl and skipped to his 'office'. I knocked, and the door creaked open. "Enter, child." he thundered. I raised an eyebrow at his sudden attitude and sat down on one of his desk chairs. "Do you know why you are here?" I thought for a second, then replied, "No clue." Slendy rested his chin on his tendril. "I'm going to tell you the reason I brought you here." My eyes widened, "You were sent here because your father is my cousin. I am sure you know his name?" I bit back a scream. Slenderman was my uncle! What the actual f**k? "Achmetha." He nodded, "Achmetha, meaning brother of death." Once he said that, my heart stopped. Brother of death rang in my ears. "Death, being Lord Zalgo." So many thoughts raced through my mind at once. Zalgo is my uncle as-well. "Now, for your mother's side. Her name is Irina. She is the one who constitutes high judgement in the court of heaven. One very important angel, if I do say so myself." My mind was still trying to process everything. It all felt so surreal. "How did my p-parents meet?" I managed to choke out. "It's very complicated. There is a barrier that devides heaven and hell. This is known as the inbetween. Not such a creative name...but, this barrier is held by a gemstone. Red Lepidolite. It signifies peace, love, protection, and spiritual strength. Zalgo desired breaking the barrier, so he could conquer heaven. In this attempt, he sent his brother to retrieve the stone. Your mother was sent to stop him. When they both touched the stone, they no longer had the desire to kill eachother. They fell madly in love. This is where you come in. Your mother was pregnant with you about a month after. Zalgo did not know of this at the time, and thought your father had been killed. Your father cannot turn to his brother, so he comes to me for advice. I told him that the human realm would be safest, for he would not choose to look there. If he did, I promised to protect you. Your mother was not involved in a car accident she was captured and is inprisoned by your uncle..." Tears formed in my eyes and they flowed onto my grey sweater. I tried to stiffle a sob, but it all came pouring down at once. Every tear drop was a waterfall. "You F**KING BASTARD, ZALGO! GOD DAMN YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Ben came bursting in. "Holy s**t, Silver what the f**k happened?" he came over and wrapped his arms around me. "H-Has she been...t-tortured?!" I hiccuped. Slendy looked down at the ground, "I don't want to overwhelme you, Ms. Dalton I-"

"Tell me! You might as well do it now!" I shouted, "Is she okay?"

"She is being tortured, because they think she is hiding the stone somewhere. They're looking for answers."

"Well, where the fuck is it? Let's just give them what they want!"

"It's not that easy. If we do give them the stone, we will all be enslaved and forced to do his dirty work to rule heaven. You have it, child."

"I-I do?"

"Your mother, did she give you a box or a package of some sort?"

"Yes. You think it's in there?"

"I know it's in there."

"I just have to remember where I put it...It's probably in the old tree-house..."

"We have to go back there."

"N-No!"

"Ms. Dalton?"

"I'm sorry. It's just...both my friend and father died there..." I willed myself not to tear up again.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault...It's mine." Ben held his head in his hands and closed his eyes tightly.

"What are you talking about?" I began to stand up, off the chair. My mind was officially blown. My eyes began to bleed rapidly, my eyes a piercing black. My innocent, white wings unleashed.

"I killed them..."

"WHY?" I screeched. Every piece of me was falling apart. I was enraged, extremely wrathful. How could he do this?

"Your friend couldn't know about you. Your father was...trying to sacrifice you to Zalgo to show repentence when you turned eighteen. I'm sorry." his voice cracked. I never thought I would see him cry. Bloody tears stream down his face, as does mine. We stand there staring at eachother with pain and regret.

"He was only trying to protect you, Ms. Dalton." Slenderman cut in. He layed a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm going to go kill something." I mumbled, and I walked past the two, "I'm so very sorry I'm related to you." Ben chased after me and down the hall, where Crosshatch, and Eyeless Jack were. Crosshatch was talking to him about something, but I was just too fed up to care. "Hey, Sil- woah what the hell happened to you?" Crosshatch asked mockingly. I kept my head low and Ben clasped my wrist, causing me to jerk back a few steps. "Ben, let's not do this now, I really-"

"I can't lose you, Rarity." he startled me when he used my given name.

"Ben, not now I-"

"I don't care! I'm in love with you, okay?" My heart skipped a beat and tears streamed down my face. This was the first time he actually shared his feelings. Not through little hints or signs of affection. He told me straight up that he was in love with me. I was just too scared to say the same. I am such a f**king idiot! Why couldn't I just die on the spot? I feel so selfish and ungrateful. I didn't want to be the center of attention.

"Let's go." I dragged Ben out the door, with E.J and Crosshatch left awe-struck at the scene we just caused. Once we were far enough from the mansion, I turned him to face me. I looked him dead in the eyes, "Do you really, honestly love me?"

"I'm crazy for you. You're my weakness. I've never...felt like that for anyone." he admitted. I pinned him to a tree and kissed him. He kissed back and slipped his tongue in my mouth, no permission asked, no consent needed. He turned us over and hosted one of my legs on his waist. I bit back a moan and he lightly sucked on my tongue. He lifted my other leg, so I was completely suspended by him and the tree. "F**k." he panted as he swiftly grinded against me, allowing me to feel his hardness. I blushed a little and tilted my head to the side, deepening the kiss.  "S**t, Silver. Don't tempt me or you'll leave here missing something." he winked at me and my face burned a bright red color. I got back on my feet, "C'mon, we don't want to waste any more time!" I dusted myself off and tugged him into the denser part of the forest. "Where are we going?" he sounded interested.

"We're going to find the gemstone."~
