Ben Drowned X Reader

Chapter 53 - Alternative Ending

Readers POV
"You fucking bitch. I'll make you pay for that."
The dark figure snarls angrily as he continues to cup his hand around his ear. Blood seeping out through his fingers and down his arms. I took out a pretty big chunk. Thinking about it, probably wasn't a good idea.
"I'll kill you last. That way, you get to watch as I slaughter this piece of trash."
He spits, stamping down harshly on Ben's back, causing him to groan in agony, tightening his grip on my hand.
"N-No! No! Don't hurt him!"
I had managed to get my voice back, just barely. I needed to do something. Help him, anything. But I just couldn't move.
"[Name].. I love you.."
Ben whispers weakly as his thumb gently strokes along my knuckles.
"Ben.. I, I love you so much.."
I whisper as I squeeze his hand.
I wanted to keep looking at him but he closes his eyes and turns his face away.
"Ben no.. no look at me Ben!"
He doesn't. Instead, he waits. I glance up to the dark figure to see him raising his foot once more, ready to smash it down into Ben's skull.
"See you in hell. Brother."
"No! NO! NOOOOOO!"
Just as he was about to slam down his foot, he is suddenly grabbed and thrown into the street road. Luckily for him, there were no cars as the roads were quiet. Unluckily for us, he was still alive.
Shocked, I slowly glance over to the figure that had thrown the monochromatic evil. He stood tall wearing mostly grey, that just happened to be covered in blood. But also wore a dark blue mask that had what seemed to be black ooze dripping from the eye sockets.
His head shifts down to look at Ben, crouching and lifting him as he lays weakly and limply as he holds him.
"No! No don't touch him!"
I desperately tried to hold onto Ben's hand but as the masked man stands, his grip loosens and his hand slips out of mine. I couldn't stop the tears flooding down my face.
"Please, please don't hurt him."
I sob, trying to lift myself but failed. I still couldn't move my legs.

I watch as the figure walks away with Ben in his arms. Leaving me behind.
"No! No don't take him away from me! DONT LEAVE ME HERE!"
I yell at his back as he ignores my pleads. But I suddenly gasp and snap my head towards the road as I hear the evil figure groan. He was beginning to wake up. Fuck fuck fuck!!
He stands to his feet and begins to stagger over, I could see the rage on his face as his piercing eyes locked on me. I was helpless, defenceless.
But, Just as he was about to reach my whimpering form, something shinny strikes him right in his throat, a direct hit to the jugular vein. Cutting in deep, causing a lot of blood to squirt out. He gargles and falls to his knees before collapsing to the ground, causing the blade to sink deeper, to which blood squirts and splatters against my face. I couldn't help but shriek.
Slowly, I move my head in the direction of which the blade came from. I saw the masked figure standing straight, holding blades in his hands. Ben was standing next to him, anger plastered across his features as he watches the dying evil. But he immediately glanced to me, his face lights up and he rushes over.
"[Name]! Thank god you're okay!"
I was confused. What had happened? First I watch as he's carried away barely able to move, and now he's completely fine.
"I thought. I thought he was going to take you away and leave me."
Ben chuckles as he looks up to the masked man as he walks over and stands next to him.
"He was just moving me to inject me with adrenaline. Don't worry, he wasn't going to take me away from you-"
"Dude, Shut up. You'll make me look soft."
The mask man scoffs as he slaps Ben on the back of his head. I couldn't help but laugh, although, I instantly frown as I look down at my legs. To which Ben sighs.
"[Name]. I have someone who can fix you.. but you're not going to like it.."
"W-What? Why wouldn't I like it?"
Ben smiles nervously before slowly moving his glance up, looking at the masked man. I hear a deep and low chuckle as he raises his hands as they held many scalpels of varying sizes. My eyes slam open as I stare at Ben, he still having the nervous smile.
"Well, Jack IS good with his operations.. But, I won't leave him alone in the room with you.. I don't trust he won't try to eat you-"
"WHAT?!?!"
"Nothing!"
With that, Ben wraps his arms under me and gently lifts me. Carrying me away into the woods with 'Jack' behind him.
Ben kept talking to me, checking I was okay. But I didn't answer. I was too focused on his face. I nearly lost him, so I wanted to look at him forever and never look away again. As I don't know when I may lose him next.
"What? You've been staring at my face for the past 10 minutes.."
"Nothing.."
I smile, leaning as much as I could manage, kissing his cheek softly. To which he smiles and places a tender kiss on my forehead.

~**~

It's been a a couple of years since the operation that Jack performed on my spine and I had fully recovered. I found out during that procedure. That everyone in Ben's house was a murderer, monster or some sort of demon, INCLUDING Ben. Ben was apparently labelled the perverted murderer in the house. I understood that entirely. Although. An argument between myself and Ben lasted a while, because of the fact him and his entire house are murders. But I soon realised I couldn't live without him and that I had truly fallen in love with him. Whether he was a murderer or not. Though, we couldn't live in the mansion as several of the people there tried to kill me many many MANY times. They didn't like me very much. So Ben and I moved away. Moved far far away.
It also turned out that the Doctor I was seeing. Dr Yuuto, wasn't even a real doctor. He was a scam artist looking to make money. It was him that caused me to have the nightmares. Even though I had a nightmare BEFORE I saw Dr Yuuto. We also found out that Dr Yuuto was working together with my original doctor in the scam. They were medicating me drugs to stop my nightmares, but they actually caused more nightmares, which we lead me to needing more medication. So I'm actually fine.

I stand in the kitchen to my house, looking out the window into the garden as Ben played cutely with our new puppy. He had bought one for me for my birthday. Well, he said bought. But I have a feeling he actually stole it. Judging by the missing poster signs all over town posted by the pet store.
However, as I watch, I notice he's not just playing sweetly with it. Rushing to the door and swinging it open, I call angrily to Ben.
"BEN! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT TRAINING THE DOG TO KILL THE NEIGHBOURS CAT!"
