His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 5: What Is Going To Happen To Me?

Y/N's POV

I had a million more questions floating around my head wanting to be voiced. I found more courage to voice the question that I was the most afraid to ask. I was afraid of what the answer would be. I almost didn't want to know the answer. "Wh-what are you g-going to d-do t-to me?"

I looked at The Puppeteer anxiously waiting for an answer. He appeared to be thinking about how to answer the question. Seconds felt like hours! The fear of what the answer would be was killing me. I was about to have a panic attack!

After a few seconds of thinking, I finally heard the answer. I didn't know how to feel about the answer. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. He smiled and said, "I don't know, I may just keep you alive for a bit; you seem interesting."

My mind blanked. I didn't know what else to say or do. But honestly, what could I do in this situation. A weird mix of feelings flooded my body. Fear mixed with curiosity mixed with relief and something else that I could not place.

I was pondering on what I could say. I looked at The Puppeteer and he seemed to think about something, or that he was confused about something..? I didn't know what he was doing or thinking about. All that I thought of doing is to wait for him to say or do something. I don't know what he was confused about; if anyone should be confused here it should be me. I was the one who was seeing a creature that I have never seen breaking into my apartment.

Even though I didn't do anything, my mind was running a mile a minute. I was still trying to figure out what exactly this creature was. No one could believe that a creature like this exists unless they see it with their own eyes. Maybe not even then. Could I be hallucinating? Is this some strange nightmare?

It seemed like at this point, neither of us knew what to do. We just... stared at each other, not doing anything. I was sure that he knew that I was still terrified. I am practically frozen in fear.

It looked like his mind was racing, too? But why? I'm the one seeing an unknown creature. We were both waiting for the other to move or speak. Or, at least, in his case, waiting for me to say something, since I can't exactly move wrapped up in weird, glowing strings and all.

If anyone were to do anything it would be him. He is in control of the situation entirely, which is what I am afraid of. There was nothing I could do, so what could he be waiting for? He has to realize soon that he should be the first to do something. It's weird that he isn't doing anything.

We were staring at each other for a few minutes. But it felt like an eternity! Being stared at makes me uncomfortable. It makes me anxious. Which isn't helping at all with the fact that I am almost having a panic attack.

He finally snapped out of whatever trance he was in. He started to move. I slowly started to make his way over to me. I was powerless to stop him. What is he going to do to me?

I was still frozen in fear. I could feel myself starting to have a panic attack. It was getting hard to breathe and my heart was beating faster than it should be. Everything was turning black and I could feel myself passing out. I didn't know if it was from the panic attack, lack of sleep, or stress or all of those combined, but everything turned black as my eyes slowly closed and I fell into unconsciousness.
