Girls || RICHIE TOZIER X READER

Chapter Five// Alternate Universe

I sat in the dark, completely zoning out and rehashing the previous day's events.

So first, we went to a cabin, second, we ate elephant ear and talked, then Finn kissed me when I put myself down, then-

My thoughts were cut short by Joe tapping me "You scared?" He asked "Don't be" Gaten said in a ridiculously adorable voice with a slight lisp.

Joe layed me down into the Pentagram and sprayed goat blood onto my body, it was disgusting and foul smelling yet my stomach held everything down.

Skarsgård came in and started his little Ritual, soon enough I felt warmth engulfing my body, Skarsgård's speech became more of a mutter until everything ultimately went completely silent.

I woke up in a white room with padded walls "Now, Y/n, you will need to practice your new abilities. Unstrap those shoes." Skarsgård's voice cane over a P.A. system.

I did as told and I strapped the new grey pumps I had on, after I loosened one my leg flew up, then I took the second one off and I was floating in mid air.

My head began to float up and soon enough my h/c hair hit the ceiling, "Ouchie, wa wa" I said rubbing my head.

Skarsgård's voice came back over the P.A. "The room will now fill with water, stay calm and hold your breath. When it fills up blow out and hopefully you will be trapped in an air bubble".

HOPEFULLY?!

The room began to fill with water, and I did as told until the room was full, closing my eyes in the process. I let out a long exhale and opened my eyes. The room was warped in my bubble until it hit me.

I did it! I for really reals did it!

The door opened and my bubble popped, Gaten look through "Good Job, Y/n!" He took my hand and pulled my weightless body out of the white room.

He took me to Skarsgård, where a rope was tied around my waist. I sat up against the ceiling until Gaten came back in with the familiar black shoes.

"They are made of pure lead, if you take them off you're bound to fly away. I'll see to it that Finn gets a rope to hold you." Skarsgård finished speaking and Gaten led me out, and then helped me strap in the shoes.

He handed me a thick rope and told me "Hey, if you feel like taking off the shoes give Finn the rope and tell him to tie it on your waist." I understood and before he led me back to my room I stopped and and said quickly "Hay is for horses".

He smiled his toothless smile then closed the door behind me. I looked at Finn who was laying down on the bed "Y/n, what did he do to you?" He seemed a little off, I looked at him once more then looked at my feet.

"Here, hold this, tightly" I tired the rope around my waist and took off the shoes, "I'm a friggin balloon" I said swimming through the air.

"Bet you I could do a flip" I said spinning in circles, "Ok" Finn said tugging the rope lightly.

I did a backflip, resulting in my h/c hair slapping me in the face.

"Told ya" I said sweeping the locks from my forehead "You're light as a feather" Finn claimed, pulling me down.

"I've always wanted to be weightless" I said as Finn helped me put on the black shoes "I've heard a song like that" Finn said untying the rope.

"Who's it by?" I ask, knowing who he would say "All Time Low" he said taking me off the bed "I knew it, I used to listen to them 24/7".

Finn gave me a 'really?' look and I nodded my head, "you think Skarsgård would let us listen to music?" I ask tying my hair up into a ponytail with a green hair tie.

Finn shrugged, "if we get our hands on a radio I'm sure El could find a station that played alternative music" I nodded my head and realized again, I can fucking float.

I spent most if the day floating through the air, even at one point I picked Finn up and we spun in an endless circle.

It was overall fun until Skarsgård's voice came booming down the hall, "Who's giggling?!" I covered my mouth and motioned for Finn to pull me down.

I untied the rope and put the shoes back on, he came into our room to see us talking, and giving sad faces.

"Telling your life stories?" He asked, I let a small forced tear fall and nodded my head, "Carry on then" he turned and closed the door behind him.

"How'd you do that?" Finn asked, astonished. "What?" I reply obliviously "cry on command"

I nodded my head "I wanted to be an actress when I was 12 and I gave it all up when I turned 14" "Skarsgård didn't say that. We aren't allowed to talk about our dreams Here"

Finn rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, and gave me a small smile "wanna fly?" I ask him.
