My Personal Virus (A BEN Drowned x Reader fanfic)

The Unmasked Truth

(You)

The wind blew right into me, it felt cold, peacefully cold. My eyes landed on a cliff where someone familiar sat.

Helen?

I called out to him. He turned his head as his gaze landed upon me, he smiled then patted the space beside him. I felt hesitant but I obeyed, I sat beside him feeling the unusual soft grass beneath me. Right under the cliff greeted me with a surprise, pink roses overflooded the grass. An uncontained smile crept into my lips, the sky was incredibly blue as the clouds floated gracefully. The sun was nowhere to be found but the surroundings remained bright.

Do you like this place?

Yeah, it's beautiful

Helen chuckled. Everywhere I looked was nothing ordinary but it felt like it was something more than that, and I loved every part of it.

I wish to be happy, with you [Name]

My eyes stared deep into his ocean eyes, there I saw actual waves splashing naturally in the most beautiful way.

I'm glad you wanted that

Too bad...

Why?

He wants you too

The flowers beneath turned from pink to blue unexpectedly, the sky transformed into a shade of orange as the clouds changed its form as well. The smile on my lips was replaced by a confused expression.

What do you mean?

He wants you [Name]

Who?

You know who exactly

I...I don't understand

He needs you [Name], he's been trapped for so long in this never-ending cycle of life, he wants you to set him free

Suddenly the roses turned...grey? The sky started to cry as cold water poured from above, the atmosphere became dull and no longer peaceful but sadder. I turned to face Helen again only to find him gone, he disappeared from existence without saying goodbye. I frowned upon this as I observed the flowers turn soggy but still alive, I related to their state all too much. No matter how bad I was damaged, I'm still...alive.

My own eyes finally opened due to the cold sensation that drowned over me, I coughed as my eyes focused on the figure in front of me. His smirk, those eyes, that stare, I know it too well. I expected this yet I was not prepared, he managed to attack when my guard was down, that clever bastard. I found my whole body tied by a chain, my left eye started to feel painful. Soon I have recollected my memories from before, it was like the time we had on the convenience store, bittersweet. It was all part of the game, he suddenly makes me happy then hurts me as he proceeds into torturing me as the cycle repeats.

"I spared you from torture for way too long, but now...it's right here ready to make you scream in agony. Apparently, you were smart enough to not escape after a month yet you were still too dumb to fall into an obvious trap you can easily avoid, I hope you won't change"
