Proxy in Command (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 40

"I have Zen. I still don't believe that he's dead!"

Zalgo let out a huge sigh before he walked up to me and offered me his hand.

"I'll show you his soul if that's the only way you'll believe me."

"You're bluffing."

"Only one way to find out," he smirked.

I reluctantly took his hand and soon we were teleported to the main entrance of his castle.

Zalgo and I walked along the pathway, careful enough to not fall on the sides where the souls were screaming in pain.

"What exactly are they feeling?" I asked as I stared at the souls in horror.

"They're burning, my dear. They do say getting burnt is the worst way to die." He chuckled before stopping. He used his hand to bring a random soul up. A woman no later than her thirties was shown as she kept screaming. "I enjoy torturing them during my free time." He dropped her soul back with the others before he proceeded to walk.

"So if you killed me during our first encounter this year, I would have been here?"

"Yes, but it would only be for a while. I was planning on reviving you." We kept walking in silence until he spoke again. "If I were to open my seventh mouth the world will either be brought into destruction, or I'll have these souls kill the pastas. I haven't decided yet."

Slenderman did warn us about it when we got here.

Zalgo stopped in his tracks to turn around to look at me. He looked downwards at the souls before smirking. "Zen is here."

Zalgo raised his hand and a soul was brought up. Zen's facial features were clear. I covered my mouth in shock as I felt my heart crash to pieces. It was true, Zen died trying to save me.

"Z-Zen," I whispered as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "I'm so sorry."

"LET HER GO!" Zen yelled despite him being in pain.

Zalgo clicked his tongue as he shook his head. "I have great plans for her. Plus, I'm the king of the under ream and you're just a peasant. You have no right to tell me what to do."

Zalgo dropped his soul back with the others before he began to walk away. "I hope that convinces you that he's dead."

I bent down to try to look for his soul. Sadly, there were a million souls that I couldn't tell where he was.

"I'll try to bring you back, Zen," I whispered. "I promise." I walked away, following Zalgo's tracks.

"It's amusing that you believe you can bring him back, Y/N. Unfortunately, you cannot revive someone without a body. I made sure to burn his body into ashes."

"I will find a way to bring him back and we'll kill you together!"

Zalgo growled before he teleported away. My hair was then yanked back and a hand was wrapped around my neck. Red eyes stared into mine.

"When will you give up? I already told you it's not going to happen! You will submit to me and you will become mine. We'll be together for eternity!"

"I th-thought you said we d-died t-t-together," I choked out as I felt my eyes getting watery.

Zalgo widened his eyes before letting me go. I stood there trying to catch my breath as I noticed him worried as if realization hit him.

"I forgot I had that vision." He furiously shook his head as he looked at me. "I won't allow it. I need to talk to her to prevent it from happening."

"Who's her?" I asked him.

"I'll tell you later when the time is right." Zalgo turned around to walk to his castle. The guards had opened the doors for him and waited patiently for me to get in.

It shocked me to see Zalgo's worried expression. It was as if he turned into a completely different person. I furrowed my eyebrows as I remembered the prophecy Zalgo had stated. If it was true that I would kill Zalgo then I'll die in the process. It didn't matter to me if I died, just as long as I bring him down with me.

Zalgo teleported to his room where the young h/c girl had been resting. He had given her the privacy she needed for the rest of the day, but a single thought kept him anxious.

He gently laid himself on the bed next to her before running his human fingers through her hair.

This whole time he had forgotten the vision that he had feared. A vision that showed them dying in the forest. Y/N had lost a lot of blood while Zalgo was stabbed in the heart before he opened his seventh mouth. The pastas were there, crying over Y/N's death while he was on the floor, unable to do anything.

'The pastas will probably try to kill us once Y/N is turned' he thought.

He still didn't believe Y/N would kill him especially due to the secret he had been hiding for years.

He planned to talk to the last oracle, but he didn't want to leave Y/N alone. The oracle made her appearance during the day and it would take a while to find her location.

"Nothing is going to separate us, my love. Not even death.
