Outlast - Eddie Gluskin Oneshots (COMPLETED)

Asylum Eddie x Reader - Interview (2)

(A/N: I'm finally back from a 6 month hiatus. Sadly, this oneshot is coming to an end very soon. If you want to request a oneshot, don't hesitate to do so. )

It's been several months since you met your patient, Eddie. The two of you have gotten along very well throughout the months of therapy. You've noticed a change in him. A good change. His tendencies to lash out has been less and his mood has been a lot better.

The last two weeks, you haven't seen Eddie at all or heard from him until today. Since you would be seeing him again, you thought it would be a great day to have the session outside. The weather was already warming up. You didn't know when the last time Eddie has ever been outside or even seen the sun.

You waited outside in the courtyard, sitting on a bench, watching patients walk around.

"Excuse me, Dr. (L/N)" You heard a male voice behind you.

You turned around and stood up to face a security guard.

"Your patient is currently in the medical bay. He was scheduled this morning to the Morphogenic Engine. Would you like to visit him?" The guard asked.

You nodded and followed him back inside of the facility.

"Why did no one tell me this? I haven't seen or heard from him in two weeks."

"They don't want their therapists to find out. They might think they would do something if they were to find out."

"They?" You asked.

"The people behind the project. I can't say anything else. It's considered confidential."

--------------------------------------------------

"Here we are." The guard opens the door for you. You thanked him and stepped in the room.

The room was filled with several hospital beds. Some patients were asleep in beds.

"Excuse me." 

You turned around to meet with a doctor.

"Hi, I'm doctor (L/N). I'm here to see my patient, Gluskin."

"He's asleep at the moment. He's been out all day. You may visit him if you'd like."

"Absolutely sir." You nodded and followed him.

The male doctor led you to him, opening the curtains to find parts of Eddie's torso and face covered in swollen rashes blistering. The doctor left you and unconscious Eddie alone.

You lost track of how long you stayed with him. You watched him stir in his sleep, making small, quiet whimpers. You wondered if he was having a nightmare. You saw his lips move slowly. It looked like he was trying to say something.

"Eddie? How are you feeling?"

Eddie gave no response. He kept mouthing something in his sleep. You looked up at the clock that hung from the wall above the bed. It was late in the evening. You stood up quietly not to wake him up. Before you left for the day, you leaned over his sleeping body, examining the rashes and blisters that the Engine caused. 

Murmuring came from Eddie's mouth. You couldn't quite make it out; only to hear your name.

He kept murmuring something. You leaned over him to hear him better. Within a few seconds, you could feel your throat tighten.

"Filthy slut." His voice sounded hoarse.

His grip around your throat quickly tightened and shoved you away from him, landing yourself on the floor, clutching onto your throat.

"What are you doing?!" You cried out.

You tried to get up, only to be picked up from your throat once more.

"Eddie stop!" You pleaded. "Please. You're hurting me."

He pushed you against the wall. His hand went back to your throat and his body was close to yours.

"It's me, Eddie! Your doctor!" You said gasping for air.

He leaned in to your ear. You could feel his warm breath. "I'm gonna enjoy choking the life out of you, whore." His voice made your skin crawl. His grip tighten even more. You tried to yell out for help, but his hand clasped your mouth. He didn't flinch as your nails dug into him, trying to get him off of you. You kept fighting for your life as you were losing conscious. 

As a last attempt, you reached for his face, violently digging your nails in the blistering part of his face. He screamed in pain and released you quickly, cupping the side of his face. It gave you a moment to run for your life. You bolted out of the room and ran as fast as you could, till you saw a guard not too far from down the hall.

You gripped onto his uniform, breathing for air. "Help me! H-he's after me!" You cried out. You heard a voice echoing down the hall. You turned around to see him. He was even angrier. You could see blood dripping from his hand.

"You fucking whore!" He screamed.

"Stay back right now!" The guard warned him. He picked up his walkie-talkie  from his shirt saying something about needing backup.

Eddie didn't care about what the guard said. His bloodshot eyes were on you. He got closer and closer towards the two of you. You could see the damage you'd done to his face.

"I mean it!" The guard reached for his gun and quickly aimed it at Eddie. "One more step and I'll shoot." 

Eddie came to a stop. His eyes never left you. His eyes were filled with rage. He wanted you dead. You could feel tears rolling down your cheeks. You were beyond scared. You were traumatized. You didn't want to think about what would've happened if you didn't get out. 

In the distance, you and the guard could see two other guards running. You and him were distracted enough for Eddie to charge at you. He was only several feet away from getting you until you heard a gun firing. You backed away a couple of steps to see Eddie collapsing onto the floor. He held his hand on the gunshot wound that was fired on his abdomen. You stood there in shock.

The guard that stood next to you lowered his gun. He saved you. He turned to the two other guards who rushed to Eddie. "Get him out of here." He ordered. "I don't care where you put him. I want him out of sight." The two guards dragged Eddie's body away from you. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." You nodded. "I'm fine now. For now..."

"You should get your neck checked out. It's badly bruised."

"Right. Thank you for saving me."

"I'm glad I could help. I'm surprised you even gotten away from him."

"What do you mean?"

"He killed a patient last week with one hand. The whole victim's neck was crushed."
