Why me? (creepypasta x reader)

?

As I opened another box a smile made its way on my face. A camera, recorder, and video taps were placed inside. I wanted to to do photography for a while but haven't had time. I placed that to the side and opened the other box. It was the largest and was very heavy.

I undid the ribbon and the box fell apart. Books upon books topped on top of each other. Different plants on the side and a cage. A small rattle was heard.

I grabbed the cage and set it on th counter. I bent down so I could see what was inside. A blob like thing with eyes looked at me. I went to the kitchen and grabbed bread. With the bread I came back and tore it to tiny pieces.

I gave it to the blob and and it ate it right up. I opened the top of the cage and held my hand out. A smile graced my lips although I showed no teeth. It may take that as a sign of hostility. It's sludge body slowly made its way over to my hand. It was cold and slimy as it crawed against my forearm I slightly shivered. It stopped at my movement and jumped on my head. I giggled and heard a little gurgle that continued as I laughed. When I stopped laughing the gurgling slowly died down into silence.

I felt happy and giddy something I needed to feel after all the tears.

"Well buddy lets clean this up before our guest gets out of the bathroom"

I cleaned up everything besides the books. The lasagna had probably gone cold so I put both plates in the microwave. I know I was eating tonight so it was no use putting all of the food in boxes to just get back out in a couple of minutes. That just meant more dishes something I didn't want to do.

I headed to the counter and I took notice of a blue plant. The color had a change greatly from before. It was a dark green and now a pretty blue and white. It looked like that one butterfly from before.

I gently reached and touched the petals. My fingers made contact and the petals fluttered letting blue sparks flow from them. I felt very sad and negative. Like I had been betrayed, beaten, forgotten. My vision went grey and I smiled. I know this plant I read it in a book somewhere.

It feed off of emotions and took the form of whatever emotion was highest. In this case sadness and betrayal. Despite being a flower it had feelings and to change into another color you had to gain its trust. After gaining its trust it would change into any emotion that you needed. It also provided wisdom and guided you in certain situations.

It was said that when you needed it the most it glowed and called onto things from faraway places. It could do magic on its own and could curse anyone. It sent you to safe places when dangered and brought people to your aid. But only a few beings have had the chance to actually befriend it. It was easy to get but if it felt you didn't treat it right it cursed you or worse.

I picked the pot up and smiled.

"What do you need"

Nothing happened but I held the pot close to me. I set it down after awhile and picked some books up. I brought them over to the nearly full book shelf and put it in the purple section. The purple stood for not read yet. It was an easy way to remember to read this instead of searching through books trying to remember what I have and haven't read.

A black blob crawled down my arm and I stared at it for a moment. I completely forgot about it. You know I should give it a name.

"You'll be named Alex a unisex name that means protector of mankind in greek"

It looked at me before letting a gurgle sound. I took that as a okay. I squished its head and laughed as it wobbled. I picked Alex up and squished them to my face. Its tiny hands grabbed the side of my face and snuggled my cheek.
