By time the girl awoke she was confused. One minute shes running for her life and the next she's waking up in a bathtub full of hot water. She was even more confused when she heard laughter from down stairs. Her bones and muscles screamed and ached with pain as she moved her stiff limps. After exiting the bathroom and undressing from her sopping wet clothing she was wearing and changed into a pair of warm, soft pj's. She started to look for her phone believing the events to just be another dream when she walked down stairs and paused at the bottom in shock. Sasha sat with a strange man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a green university hoodie, tight white jeans and a pair of dark brown boots. You cleared your throat gaining their attention. Sasha jumped up.
"Oh Y/n! You're finally out of the bath! why didn't you tell me you met him at your cousins collage? He's so cool! And cute too" her s/c friend whispered the last part and glanced back at the male behind you two. Who was currently hooking that cursed game up again. Y/n felt even more confused. "Met him at Alex's college?" you rephrased staring at the rather familiar guy who had started up that cursed game. "Oh don't play dumb! your boyfriend? Ben? You act like you've never seen him before!1" she laughed and your blood ran cold remembering the events from hours before. The water, running away from that monster, everything. You felt dizzy as the man. Or Ben laughed a little. "Y/n's been a little sick. So her minds a bit fuzzy at the moment, why don't you sit down and her and I go and make some tea?" he exclaimed and paused his game and set the controller down. Y/n slowly nodded and followed Ben into the kitchen.
"Okay what the fuck type of lie did you tell her? And boyfriend? Like I would even want to date a monster like you. You're not even human!" the girl hissed at the ghoul as he pulled the sugar from the cabinet. "Listen, I don't like it as much as you. I'm more then disgusted about the situation then you ever could be. I'm too good to stoop down to being with a human. let alone with you" Ben hissed and glared at you as you started in shock. As he had not only degraded you, but he had also proved himself to be a cocky narcissistic asshole all at the same time. You were going to open your mouth when he cut you off. "The tea." he paused. "Where do you keep it?"
The girl wordlessly pointed to a drawer that was off to his side and he started a kettle up on the stove. "I honestly can't believe people still use kettles. and I thought that I was out dated" he exclaimed taking another jab at y/n. "I can't believe you didn't kill me and that I'm stuck with you now" y/n mocked back making him glare as he slammed the kettle down on the stove and glared at you. "Look bitch, I can kill you where you stand but I need you alive or else I'm never going to be free. So watch your damn mouth" he hissed back and this just angered y/n more. "That doesn't fucking explain why you decided to keep me alive. You don't need me, you could move onto someone else and ruin their life. you don't need me at all." she exclaimed back and he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms childishly. "I would love to but we have a contract. It started when you played the game so accept it and stop acting like a bitch." Ben stated smugly and glared at you.
"First off, stop calling me a bitch. Second, since when do we have a contract?" you demanded and he laughed. "Since you started playing the game smart one. Thought it was obvious but I guess not" he paused a he started t laugh. "You're stuck with me sweet cheeks." he winked and turned to the kettle as it began to whistle, you were going to introject when Sasha popped her head into the kitchen. "Hey guys, I would love to stay, but works called me in and I gotta run. It was nice meeting you Ben! We an do this again some other time!" she exclaimed and rushed out the house before you could speak up leaving you alone with the ghoul again. You walked out into your now quite and empty living room and sighed, burying your face into your hands. "God it's gonna be a long fucking day you mumbled. "Oh definitely will be, really could say that again." Ben snapped back in a cocky tone and you glared at him.
"I only said that because you've ruined both my day and my life" you snapped back and he looked almost offended at your words.
"So rude. Now play this damn game so your precious day and life wont be so ruined" he exclaimed back and you snatched the cursed controller from the entities hand and started to play, glaring at his smug face from time to time when a glitch would pop up. "What's the point in this? why does the game have to be so glitchy and broken?" you asked and paused it to look at the man sitting in the corner of the couch away from you. He glanced up from the magazine he was fiddling with. "Because it's telling you and making you piece together my story and how I came to be" he stated mater of factly and you rolled your eyes. "You can't do that yourself though without the game?" you retorted back and he opened his mouth but no words came out. After a minute he sighed. " I can't. You see I just-" he paused in thought and looked up at you, the mask he had on in front of Sasha was long since gone and he started at you with his black and red eyes. "I'm cursed y/n. And as much as I would love to go and do other things. I can't without having someone play this damn game. I've been trapped in there for 9 years since I died. And I can't get out unless I have your help" a twinge of sadness could be heard inside his words as he looked down and ran his fingers over the slick pages of the magazine and you couldn't help but feel bad for him. For just a second, you wanted to hold him and tell him it was alright, but you held yourself back.
"Is that true?" you asked and he looked up at you
"Why would I lie about that?" he asked back and seemed genuinely concerned as to why you wouldn't believe him. You stared at him and watched as everything clicked. "Oh... Oh! I- ha, this isn't another game. I'm dead serious. I'm not lying Y/n, I can go into more detail later, but your cousin has almost everything written down and I figured you read all of it and because of that I didn't see reason to explain myself."
he seemed embarrassed and almost human in nature as he explained at the moment making you realize that he was only playing those games and doing those things to you and Alex to make you free him. But he had gone about it all the wrong way and you can see it in his face how he was realizing that. "I'll help you" you paused and watched his head shoot up and stare at you in shock. "But," you continued. "You have to help me find Alex so he can help to. He knows more about this and about you. And I don't think I can do it without him"
A smile graced his features as he looked at you with slight hope in his eyes.
"It's a deal"
