[ REVAMPED PUPPETEER STARTER ; OPEN TO ANYONE ]
{ SETTING ; YOU HAD BEEN FOLLOWED HOME BY THIS BEING }
―UP UNTIL NOW ; YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT OFF AS IF EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FINE, BUT IT WASN'T, IT NEVER HAD BEEN. YOUR INSANITY TAUNTING YOU, AND THE ENTIRE FEELING OF LONELINESS, HAD PRESENTED ITSELF OUTSIDE OF YOUR DOOR. THE WEIGHT ON YOUR SHOULDERS SEEMING EVEN HEAVIER NOW, AS IF IT WAS SLOWLY PUSHING YOU DOWN. YOUR BODY SEEMED WEAK AS YOU FELT YOUR LIMBS GOING NUMB, LOSING HOPE. YOUR BACK REMAINED AGAINST THE DOOR, YOU SLID DOWN TOWARD THE FLOOR WITH TEARS IN YOUR THROAT. IT TOOK YOU A FEW MINUTES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO EVEN LOOK UP AGAIN, TEARS STREAMED DOWN YOUR FACE. . IT WAS HARD TO MAKE OUT ANYTHING IN THE MIDST OF BLUR, YOUR HEART WAS POUNDING WITHIN YOUR CHEST, BEATING HARD. YOU KNEW THAT YOU WERE NO LONGER ALONE IN THAT ROOM OF YOURS, BUT WHAT SCARED YOU THE MOST- WAS THAT YOU ALLOWED HIM INSIDE.
BREATHING- BREATHING COULD BE HEARD, BUT YOU DID NOT SEEM TO MIND, YOU FELT THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER BEING, MERELY SHIVERING BENEATH HIS TOUCH. . HE WAS COLD, ALMOST AS IF HE HAD DIED AND HAD HAPPENED TO COME BACK TO LIFE. BUT TO YOU HE WASN'T ANYTHING MORE THAN A HALLUCINATION. . THAT IS WHAT YOU CONTINUOUSLY TOLD YOURSELF. BUT WHEN HIS HAND GRABBED YOURS, YOU FOLLOWED, YOUR LEGS STANDING RIGHT UP ON THE FLOOR. . YOUR EYES BARELY ABLE TO SEE. THE LONGER YOU STOOD BESIDE THE BEING, THE DARKER IT BECAME.
WHEN HE ASKED YOU TO DANCE WITH HIM― YOU SAID YES.
HIS FREE HAND WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND YOUR WAIST, THE OTHER HAND KEPT A FIRM GRIP ON YOURS. YOUR HEAD SLOWLY BEGAN LEANING TOWARD HIS SHOULDER; WHICH HAPPENED TO BE SUPPORTING YOUR WEIGHT. MAYBE HE WAS THE BEST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN TO YOU― MAYBE THE WORST. . BUT YOU'D NEVER LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO TELL.
AS YOU DANCED HE HUMMED SOFTLY TO YOU, TELLING A STORY OF A MAN HE ONCE KNEW. A PUPPETEER, WHOM COULD STEER HIS PUPPETS WITH HIS BROKEN DREAMS. EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SAW THE VALUE OF HIS FRIENDSHIP, HE MANAGED TO TURN THEM ALL TO LIKE HIM. . BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY FRIENDS HE CLAIMED, HE ALWAYS STILL FELT
LOST.
UNLOVED.
BROKEN.
ALONE.
AND THEN HE WHISPERED INTO YOUR EAR ;
'' IF YOU LET ME, I CAN GUIDE YOU TO HIM. BUT YOU NEED TO LET GO. ''
THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO REMEMBER THAN THE SWEET STORY PLAYING IN YOUR MIND WHEN YOUR EYES CLOSED. HIS COLD FIRM GRASP HELD YOUR BODY CLOSE AS HE SEEMED TO LOWER YOU DOWN, CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. THE LOWER HE ALLOWED YOU TO SLIP, THE MORE YOU FELT AS IF YOU WERE FLOATING.
'' DO YOU FEEL IT ? ''
YOU HATED TO ADMIT IT, BUT JUST AS IF HE HAD BEEN PLAGUING THROUGH YOUR MIND ONLY SECONDS EARLIER HE SUDDENLY SET YOU FREE. YOU FELT EMPOWERED, BUT EMPTY. THE BITTERSWEET FEELING OF ALLOWING YOURSELF TO GO THIS FAR WAS TAINTING YOUR MIND. EVEN WHEN HE WHISPERED SOFTLY INTO YOUR EAR ABOUT YOUR OWN CHOICES, YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL SELFISH. MAYBE HE KNEW HOW YOU FELT, DEEP INSIDE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE CAME TO SAVE YOU FROM THIS PLACE.
YOU WANTED TO BELIEVE HIM,
YOU BELIEVED HIM
BUT THE SECOND YOU HAD LET YOUR ENTIRE MIND GO―
THAT IS WHEN HE BETRAYED YOU.
THE MAN THAT YOU HAD FIRST THOUGHT WAS THERE TO PROTECT YOU WAS NOW INSTEAD THE ONE WHO SOUGHT OUT TO DESTROY YOU. HIS HANDS HAD GRABBED YOUR WRISTS WITH MASSIVE FORCE, HOLDING THEM STILL TO KEEP HIS PRECISION INTACT. WITH TWO DISTANT CUTS, YOU FELT AS IF YOUR WRISTS STARTED TO PULSATE, BUT NO BLOOD HAD LEFT YOUR BODY. WITHIN YOUR EYESIGHT, YOU COULD SEE IT CLEARLY- YOUR MUSCLES WERE PULLED OUT IN LONG STRINGS OF VEINS AND FLESH. THE SOUND CAUSING YOUR MIND TO GO NUMB, YOUR BRAIN SCREAMING FOR RELEASE. EVERY JOINT IN YOUR BODY ACHING, TREMBLING BENEATH HIS STRONG GRASP. YOU TRIED TO BEG HIM TO STOP, YOU TRIED TO PUSH HIM AWAY, BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRIED, HE HELD YOU DOWN.
GASPING FOR AIR, THE FINGERS WITHIN YOUR VISION HAS STARTED TO TURN WHITE AS THEY WERE SLOWLY PULLING AT HIS SLEEVE, YOU FELT HEAVY. . YOUR BODY NO LONGER FLOATED. WITH A HEAVY HEART, HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHOM WAS ABLE TO CARRY YOU NOW. . CARRYING YOU OVER THE FLOORBOARDS, HAULING YOUR LIFELESS BODY WITH HIS SIMPLE TOUCH. AND AS HIS HANDS WENT FOR YOUR NECK, YOU DREW YOUR LAST BREATH.
―IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE YOU WOKE UP FROM THE NIGHTMARE WHICH YOU HAD BELIEVED TO BE REALITY. THERE WAS A HEAVY FEELING LINGERING THROUGHOUT THE ROOM, YOUR EYES FLICKERED ONTO A SOMETHING WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY NOT BEEN VISIBLE TO THE EYE. . .TWO GOLDEN HUES IN THE SHAPE OF EYES ILLUMINATED THE ROOM AS THE SHADOW TURNED TO A BEING ;
