An old clock, an empty room. In the center sits a girl, face and body caked in filth. She looks up as the clock chimes. One. Two. Three. She sees it again, a white slip of paper attached to the clock's pendulum. What does it say? What will it reveal?

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?![[OLD] A Stranger Is Watching.

[OLD] A Stranger Is Watching. (Creepypasta X Reader)
(Y/N) (L/N), a girl who could stand for her own one minute, and be a helpless mess the next. She wasn't proud of her way of life, or the place she lived, but she didn't hate it either. She was the way she was, scatterbrained and living with her mother, father, and a few curious animals all until someone decided to crash her party. Ok- so, this story is in the process of being rewritten, though not in the normal way most people do. You can still read the first 'draft,' that won't be deleted, and the rewritten portion is after that.Complete
