My New Family (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 10: Benjamin Lawman (BEN Drowned) [Part 2]

"What?" Jane blanched.

The boy seemed visibly irritated by Jane's apparently unsatisfying reaction. "I'm going to kill you," he said, annoyed. "Be more scared, Jesus." Jane gave me a blank look, and I shrugged.

"No can do, chief," I said, wiping my sweaty, dirt covered palms on my jeans. "We have somewhere to be, so, kindly let us out of whatever simulation type shit this is."

Ben gaped at us. "Do you know who I am?" he asked angrily, stomping his petite foot onto the dirt.

"No," Jane said crossly. She put her hands on her hips. "Let us go, nerd."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" the boy asked, his blonde eyebrows furrowing. "You don't know who I am?"

"I already answered that," she snapped. "This kid is like a miniature Jeff, I swear. He knows how to get on my nerves by saying four words."

"I'm not a kid!" he roared, and he grabbed Jane by the front of her dress and pulled her in close. "I'm an infinite being! I have no age!"

"Well, why do you look twelve then?"

"I died when I was ten," he snapped, and he let her go. Jane patted the front of her dress and backed away from him.

"What do you mean you're an infinite being?" I asked, curious.

"Well, there's a whole depressing backstory, sweets. Long story short, I was murdered by my asshole father, but I somehow came back to life for revenge, and all that jazz. I've been roaming this Earth in this form for like, thirty years now," he said, crossing his arms.

"And you're still a prepubescent little boy," Jane said.

"I AM BEN DROWNED! The KING of MAJORA'S MASK! A SUPREME BEING! A HIGHLY WANTED and DANGEROUS DEMON! A VENGEFUL SPIRIT! Do NOT DISRESPECT ME!" he shouted, losing his temper again.

"He even acts like Jeff," Jane whispered to me.

"Who's Jeff?" Ben asked, appearing suddenly between us.

"None of your business, Peter Pan," Jane said, pushing him out of the way. "Now let us out."

"No can do, sweets," he said, electricity beginning to crackle in the palms of his pale hands.

"Hey Ben?" I asked quickly.

"What now?" he groaned, the electricity disappearing.

"Do you know who Slenderman is?"

"Yeah, biggest Creepypasta name on the Internet," he said matter-of-factly. "Why? You scared? You think he's real? Unlike that myth, I'm the real deal, baby."

I cringed at his choice of words, but I got the information I needed. "He's my dad," I said smugly.

"The hell are you talking about?"

"I can summon him with my mind, Ben. Let us out or I'll call him, and he won't spare you."

Ben blinked, and then gave me a sharp grin. "Nice try, princess," he said, the blue electricity reappearing in his hands.

"Let's get this over with already," Jane said, crossing her arms.

I closed my eyes and called out to my dad, and he appeared right in front of us. "What the hell is going on?" Slenderman asked, his monotone voice doing a poor job of hiding the rage and annoyance behind it.

Before I could respond, Jane pushed me out of the way and huffed, "This psychopath thinks that you're not real, and he's trying to kill us. It's so annoying." Jane motioned to where Ben was still floating in midair, mouth agape with shock at the sight of my dad.

Slenderman narrowed his eye sockets at the floating elf. "Ben Drowned?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah," Ben stuttered, quickly landing on his feet. "That's me."

Slenderman bent over, his long fingers barely brushing the dirt ground as he brought the pale canvas of his face close to Ben's. "I saw that you have some sort of power. Demonstrate," he demanded.

Ben quickly raised his hands again, the blue electricity crackling in his pale palms again. "It kills any mortal instantly. It's pretty useful," he bragged. Slenderman's bony hand shot out and grasped Ben's thin wrist, making him yelp in surprise.

"Yes, that'll do," Slenderman murmured. "Let us out of this simulation now. We have somewhere to go."

Ben yanked his hand out of Slenderman's tight grasp and glared at him, red pupils flashing. He snapped his fingers, and we appeared in front of Slender Mansion.

"You can't possibly want to recruit this idiot!" I moaned, motioning to Ben. He leaned against the splintery wooden fence, a cocky smirk plastered back on his face once he noticed what Slenderman's intentions were. "He's an actual child, first of all, and second of all, he isn't useful! He's just an annoying little prick who thinks he's better than everyone! He's like Jeff, but ten times worse!"

Ben looked as if he had sucked on a lemon. "Shut up, you ugly girl," he snapped.

"We need him, (Y/N). Whether you approve or not, it's not your choice to make. I know what we will need when the time comes, and he will be a large help to us. I expect you to respect that," Slenderman said harshly, his sharp words piercing my chest.

"Yeah, you guys need me," Ben smirked. He winked at me cheekily, and I felt hot rage bubbling up inside of me.

"I'm so sick of you already," I groaned, and pushed past Slenderman and Ben to get to the front door, where Jeff immediately opened it.

"Well, well, well, look who's back... The two bitches," Jeff snorted. Jane elbowed him in the chest to get inside, and Jeff chuckled before finally realizing that Ben was watching him. "Who the hell are you? And what are you looking at, midget?" he barked rudely.

Ben levitated over to Jeff. "I'm Ben Drowned," he snapped. "And Slenderman says that you have to respect me."

Jeff growled and pulled out his knife. Blue began to crackle in Ben's clenched fists.

"That's enough," Slenderman said tiredly, pulling the two prepubescent idiots apart. "Jeff, leave him alone. It's his first night here. Ben, stop provoking everyone you meet."

Ben glared at Jeff as Slenderman ushered him inside. "What a dick," Jeff sneered. He shot a menacing glare at me, before slinking back inside and disappearing into the shadows silently.

(A/N: Okay, this time it's really been forever since I've updated. This quarantine thing is killing me, and online school is ruining my GPA even more. At this point, I will NOT be graduating or going to college, which is always fun to think about. So here I am at 4:30 AM, updating a dead fanfiction. Anyways... for the few that still read this, thank you. It's kind of crazy how long it's been. As always, follow me on social media if you actually want to keep up with me, because I am never active on here. Seriously, it's been almost an entire year. The last time I worked on this was September 2019, and the last time something was published was July 2019. Oops? Hopefully I'll see you guys sooner than later. Bye for now <3)
