Picking Up the Pieces (Markiplier x reader)

Chapter 5

*(Y/N)'s P.O.V* (apologies for all these P.O.V changes :/)

I sat in the dark room, scared, cold and all the synonyms for the word hungry. In fact, I think I lost some weight for not eating these past six days. But, I did get some kind of cold from staying naked all this time. I sneezed myself from sleeping.

"Bless you." They came into the room, with a chair....?

"Thank you." I replied unconsciously. They chuckled.

"Ah, so you're finally talking again." They commented, placing their chair right in front of me and sitting down. "You haven't said a word these last two days." Yeah, I didn't open my mouth these few days because one, there's was no one to talk to, and two, I didn't really feel like relying to any questions these repulsive human beings.

"It's only polite to say thank you after someone has blessed you." I said the closed my mouth immediately. They chuckled again.

"Anways, what are you up to?" I didn't reply. "Alright, the silence treatment again? I see you. Well, you don't have to talk, but I'd like for you to listen." I titled my head slight to the side to hear what they had to say. The cleared their that before starting.

"I, once, was a normal man. Mentally stable and shit, had a nice family. A beautiful Caribbean wife named Raven, with two amazing girls named Emily, who was 11, and Aaliyah, who was 15. We lived a great life. The girls went to a good school while me and Raven had good paying jobs. But then, everything went worng." He coughed and tried clearing his voice once again. That's how you know, shit's going downhill.

"Umm, the Government contacted me and said that Raven and the girls were using illegal ways on contacting North Korea's Government so that they could hack into our system and use our equipment to bomb America. They said...." They hesitated.

"They said that I have to kill them." I said, making my eyes open widely.

"They said I have to kill them, but I wouldn't be charged. So, I repeatedly asked Raven, every night before we went to bed 'do you have some in going on with you and North Korea?' And she answered no. And I don't blame her. Raven was such an innocent person, I don't think an idea like that will ever cross her mind. A month went by and the Government told me I have to hurry up and take thier lives. I questioned the girls and Raven again, they all said no untill the last day of the month. The Government said that I have until 12 midnight to kill them or else they'll have someone come and kill them."

"So, I took them to a cabin in a woods on the weekend, telling them that it was a vacation well needed. That night, I poisoned the girl's dinners and they died a few minutes after they were sent to bed. Me and Raven went to bed and," They wiped some tears from thier eyes.

"I suffocated her with a pillow. I gave the bodies to the Government and they dispose of it somehow. After that, I couldn't live with myself another that. I didn't go to work after that, and I got fired, I lost all interactions to Raven's parents and my parents and other family members and I was over all depressed. I would drink whiskey unill I passed out on the couch and won't remember the last time I ate a proper meal or took a proper shower."

"A few weeks after that, the Government contacted me again saying that..." They coughed and wiped away a few more tears.

"That they mistaken Raven, Emily and Aaliyah for a different family. They said they were sorry that I had to kill them and it was complete misunderstanding. Right there and then, my depression turned into upright pure anger. I lost it and took it all out on my furniture,"

"Then myself. I threw myself onto the walls, I harmed myself by swallowing glass and such and I cut myself. After that, I cried myself to sleep, knowing that I couldn't get back the only people I cared about."
