Free me (BEN Drowned x Reader)

part 11

"W-Why would you..."Alex face was cold, his eyes narrowed.He took a step closer, crushing the remains of your cellphone under his boots."This isn't a game ______. This is real.""Stay away from me."You said, backing away slowly.Alex shook his head and walked over to the sofa.He grabbed a round object and brought it into view.It was a roll of duct tape."Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way." He said, unraveling a foot of the tape and walking towards you slowly.Panic set in and you ran for the front door. Alex however was much quicker and blocked your path, twisting your arms behind your back.You screamed and thrashed as he tied the tape around your wrists tightly."Let me go! Somebody help me!" But your parents weren't home and there was no phone.It really was pointless."What are you planning to do?" You demanded.The pain from the tape around your wrists made you hunch over as Alex grabbed you by your hair and dragged you towards the back door."Lucky for us. After all those years of isolation, I discovered his secret." His voice dropped into an eerily low whisper. "I know how to destroy him."Your eyes widened in fear and you struggled even harder."BEN! CAN YOU HEAR ME!? HELP ME!" You screamed at the top of your voice, hoping that somehow, somewhere, BEN could hear you.Alex growled and pulled something out of his leather jacket.It was a pistol."Now, now, we cant have you calling him. That would mess everything up. Quiet please-"He held the gun backwards and slammed it right behind your temple.Your vision went white and red, and you slumped to the floor.Alex ripped off another piece of tape and covered your mouth with it.Just before you slipped out of consiousness, you heard him sigh."I'm sorry, but this is for your own good. You'll thank me later. "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You awoke on cold concrete.Your head and eyes were sore, and your throat felt like it was on fire.Adjusting your body you noticed that the tape over your mouth was gone.Your wrists and ankles however were tied tightly by duct tape.

It was then you noticed Alex hovering a few feet over you.He was watching you with a happy expression, holding a small grey object over your head."Recognize this? " He asked.Your eyes adjusted and you saw the small grey cartridge in his hands. The words 'Majora's Mask' written in black sharpie marker."This is where he came from. His source. Destory the object, destroy the ghost. So simple" He grinned and waved the cartridge teasingly over your face."You leave BEN alone. He's my friend. I wont let you do this. You know nothing about him. He cares about me" You groaned, your breathing was shallow."Is that so? Let's give him a call then." Alex stood and brought out his cell phone from his back pocket.He typed something on the keyboard and waited.BEN's P.O.VI waited there floating in binary code and electromagnetic waves. I could leave when I pleased and walk about the human world. But I remained here.Why though?

_______'s view of me... was something I hadn't anticipated.What was I to think of that?I resisted the urge to check up in her.She wasnt a child. She could handle herself.But her brother... he was another story.I didnt know what measures would take.Giving in to my curiosity I went to look through the camera of ______'s cellphone.It was the way I kept track of her werabouts; that and GPS.What suprised me was that there was nothing.

Nothing at all.Just blackness.That didnt make any sense.Even if her phone was off I could still reach her.The only way this was possible was if she had somehow completely broken her phone.Which was unlikely. After meeting me she carried her phone around like a lifeline.Something was wrong.I materialized in ______'s living room.It was dark.I created a bright green glow in the room and searched for her.Thats when I noticed the drag marks on the carpet.And the blood.

The phone lines were cut. The wifi was gone. And the TVs and computers were all dead.
I searched in my mind for the nearest source to her and found Alex's phone.
Thats when I saw the message.Typed just for me to see.
"Hello BEN. If your able to read this you know where to find me."
I projected myself through his phone by force. His screen turned green, and I could hear his voice echoing through the speakers.
Alex smiled down at the camera, as if he knew I was there.He glanced down at someone below the camera view and raised an eyebrow.
"Looks like we have your friend on the phone. Want to say hi?"
______.
She was there with him.

"BEN, please." I heard her cry.
If I had blood it would be boiling.
"You're one crazy bastard you know that?" I growled.
Alex laughed and turned the camera to face ______.Her wrists and ankles were tied and and her eyes were bloodshot.
"We're playing by my rules now. Try anything funny and I'll kill her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reader P.O.V.
Alex's words scared you.What was he trying to acomplish by all this?He kneeled down and pressed the pistol against your skull.You froze and tried not to scream.

"Look, I'm just trying to protect my little sister."

A few moments later a familiar green glow filled the room.BEN materialized a few yards away and spotted you lying on the ground with a gun to your head.He remained deathly still, his eyes flicking between you, the gun, and Alex.
"Interesting. You know, this is my first time ever physically seeing you." Alex said, pressing the gun closer to your skull when he noticed BEN finally take a step forward.
"You don't have to do this." BEN said.
Alex chuckled."Y'know that pleading innocent bullshit is not gonna work on me. You may have brainwashed my sister. But its not happening with me."
"He didnt brainwash me Alex I-"You yelped when Alex suddenly grabbed your hair and pressed the gun under your chin.
"Shut up."

He glanced up at BEN and smirked, pulling the cartridge from his pocket. He held it up for BEN to see, then placed it on the ground.
"Hmm... I wonder what will happen... if I just-"

In one swift movement he slammed the back on the gun into the cartridge, smashing it to pieces.
"Oops." He said, shrugging.

"No!" You screamed.
BEN's reaction was immediate. He fell to his knees and held his head in his hands.
"What have you done!?" He screeched. His eyes glowing a fiery red.
"I'm sending you to where you belong." Alex said.

But what happened next suprised you.

BEN suddenly froze and looked at Alex with the most puzzled expression you had ever seen.
"Sorry, what?" He asked.
"What? Why isnt it working? You're supposed to be gone. I shattered your cartridge."Alex stammered, eyes wide.
BEN's face deadpanned.
"No you idiot. That was a copy of the game, which by the way, are nearly impossible to make. Did you actually think I'd give you the real cartridge?" He asked, glaring at Alex incredulously.
Your heart was filled with relief.BEN walked over to you and quickly ripped off the tape.He picked you up off the ground and moved you away from your brother.
"W-What?" Alex whispered, too stunned to move.
"It's not rocket science Alex." BEN said. "In order to control the world one needs multiple angles of attack. That cartridge you got from that old man was a duplicate of the game. So you cant kill me by destroying it...
This-"
He took off his green hat and reached inside it, pulling out another grey cartridge, this one held the original game logo on the front.
"-is the real game."

With that he crushed the cartridge in his hand, letting the broken pieces fall to the floor.

so I decided to do an update rather than actually do this because it were some readers of this book that asked for an update and I thought why not?
