His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 1: Introducing Y/N And Alicia

No one's POV

Living in an apartment near her chosen college is a girl named Y/N. She is a 22 year old and is in her last year of college. She chose to live in an apartment instead of a dorm because she didn't want to share a dorm with someone she has never met. She lives alone in her apartment and she is perfectly happy with it. She has a part time job to pay for the apartment. She lives a short 5 minute drive away from her college. Her job is a 10 minute drive away from her apartment. She is perfectly happy with her living situation.

Right now, she is sitting in her apartment looking for something to watch on TV. She failed to find anything that interests her, so she calls her friend, Alicia, to come over. A few minutes later, she hears a knock on her door. She answers it to see Alicia standing there. She tells her to come in and Alicia was more than happy to. She plops herself on the couch, making herself at home.

Y/N and Alicia have been friends since their 4th grade year. In high school, they made it their goal to make it into the same college. They were so happy to find they both made it into their chosen college. Y/N had offered Alicia to stay in an apartment with her, but Alicia wanted to stay in a dorm. She said that half of the fun in college is meeting new people. Alicia had made a couple of friends and introduced them to Y/N. They have a nice friend group and love to hang out whenever they can!

Y/N and Alicia talk with each other for a while. They talked about their day and what is coming up on them during the week. Alicia had reminded Y/N about an assignment due the next day. Y/N had completely forgotten about it. Thank god for best friends! Y/N made a mental note to get it done later. Alicia started talking about what she saw on the news.

"Have you seen the news?" Alicia asked.

"No, why?" Y/N replied.

"Apparently, there is a killer loose in the city! The police have been trying to catch them for quite some time now with no luck... They can't seem to catch them. The last murder happened near the college. Everyone is freaking out, including me!" exclaimed Alicia.

Y/N tried calming Alicia down. "Don't worry, if you want, you can stay with me tonight."

Alicia shook her head. "No, it's ok, besides, the person I'm sharing the dorm with, Bella, is good at self defense. She could probably fight them off if someone were to come in. She also taught me a few moves in case something happens. Besides, I'm more worried about you. You live alone here. The question is are you going to be ok?"

"I'll be fine. Besides, I live on the third floor and always lock my door. No one is going to climb up and open and come through my window just to kill me. There is no need to worry about me. Nothing is going to happen to me. Everything is going to be alright." Y/N said.

"Ok, only if you're sure you're going to be fine. You can sleep in my dorm if you feel unsafe here. Bella won't mind. Are you sure you're ok here?" Alicia asked.

"I'll be just fine. If I change my mind I'll call you. I'll be ok here alone. Nothing bad is going to happen to me." said Y/N. She looked out the window to see that it was starting to get dark. She didn't need to keep Alicia here any longer. "You should probably get back to your dorm, it's getting dark out."

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow. Call me if anything happens, ok?"

"Sure thing. See you tomorrow!" said Y/N. Alicia left and Y/N was all alone.
