Perfidy - A Self-Insert

- Chapter Four -

The door was quietly shut behind Y/n, sneaking into their house. They didn't know if they're parents we're gonna be home, and don't exactly feel like finding out. They dumped their binder and bag on the bed, laying beside them. Today was... strange.

   It was their first day, and already were in a group of friends. Y/n glanced at their phone, now filled with contacts and a group chat thanks to Jasper. This never happened before, they were usually just left alone. How fuckin insane we're these kids to actually hang out with them.

   Y/n was dragged from their thought from a message on the group chat.

A couple weeks past, and they become better friends. Y/n was still a bit apprehensive of them, but they wouldn't say no to an invitation to help one.

—

Heath ( Plant boy ) - Hey y/n, im at the plant shop and I can't carry them all. Can you come down to help? 10:36

     Damn, it is pitch black outside. Why is he moving these plants at night?

10:36 yeah sure, be there soon just send the address - Y/N

——

    A ping from their phone notified Y/n of the location. They looked around their room, and grabbed their small pocket knife just in case. Prying their window open to climb out was more annoying then they thought it would be. Their feet hit the soft grass ground and they were off.

   The town had a silent eerie feeling at night. No cars passed by, almost like there was nobody ever there. Something was off. The air was too stiff, the silence was too loud. Even the stars were blocked out by clouds.

  The door to the plant shop creaked, and Heath looked up from his corner in to small store.

" Hey Y/n, can you grab the vase of Red Dahlias from the back? "  He asked, already carrying a box of Flame Lilys

" Yeah sure, why are you moving plants so late"

"  Didn't feel like going when people were here, including mom "

  Heaths mother, Karen, ran the plant shop. She seemed nice from the outside, but that women would go to the ninth circle of hell when she died.

-Tw coming up-

  Y/n head to the door that said Employees Only, and the room behind wasn't impressive. It had a chair, a safe, and boxes of all kinds of plants. Two Red Dahlias in a clear, cheap vase were all they needed to grab.

     In the shop, Heath was nowhere to be found. His Flame Lily's was tipped over on the ground, dirt spilling on the smooth floor. They noticed it looked like there less flowers then there was before and set down their own plants.

   This didn't feel right at all. If anything, this was downright fucking horror movie level. Heath would've never dropped their plants, she would simply crumple and die before ever even thinking of it. Apparently they once scolded Arrow on how their plants were too dusty.

   Their hand on the pocket filled with a knife, they looked around the store for a second before heading to the door. Maybe they just went outside for a breath of fresh air. The glass opening was slightly ajar, letting a draft into the shop.

  They shivered, pushing to door open. They looked to their right and saw nothing, they looked left and...

And...

Holy fucking shit.

   Heath was laying on the ground against the store, a couple Flame Lily's artistically placed in his open mouth. His eyes were glossed over, and... and he had multiple fucking stab wounds on their chest. A yellow sweater they had been wearing, never to look yellow again that's for sure. They kneeled and checked for a pulse.

..

..

..

nothing..

  Suddenly they were pushed against the wall from behind, a scream being stopped by the Red Dahlias being stuffed in their mouth. They maneuvered their hand to their pocket, pulling out the knife and stabbing aimlessly from behind. Their attacker backed off, with a muttered fuck under their breath.

  - TW over -
Basically Heaths dead, Y/n almost died.

Y/n didn't waste time spitting the flowers out and running, speeding through the dark town. Every shadow, seemed to move, stretching out to grab them. When they made it to their house they climbed up the window, locking it and breathing heavily. They thought for a second, and realized something.

I... I can't tell everyone he's dead. I was supposed to be the only one with them, they would assume I...

   They shook the thought, and grabbed their phone to call 911

911 what's your emergency

The plant store, down town, come quick

Will you stay on the lin- *click*

   Y/n didn't sleep at all that night. They watched their window and their door, pocket knife shaking in one hand, the other hand clapping their knees together.

—

" you didn't kill them?"

" Well im sorry, they literally stabbed my in LEG, I couldn't exactly run after them "

  The shorter one shook their head, looking at the new head they had in a bag.

" I knew we should've gone together, all this could've been avoided "

" but if we both got caught, it would never begin " the taller said reasonably " and, they can't tell everyone else. They're not stupid, everyone would probably blame them. "

" I guess your right " they glanced at the knife, now covered in scarlet liquid " well, another one bites the dust "
