Proxy in Command (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 53

(~An hour ago~)

Going downstairs and holding the rail for support, I saw some pastas watching TV but they didn't notice my presence. I slowly walked to Slendermans empty office as one thought came to mind.

I had to take the dagger to kill Zalgo and take matters into my own hands.

Entering his office, I looked at every corner of the room to find the familiar black box. It wasn't until I went through his desk that I finally found it. Hiding the dagger in my pocket, I made my way in front of his desk to look at it for the final time.

Memories of me bowing down to him at the exact place flooded through my mind, making me cringe.

I heard the doorknob slowly twist before a book fell.

"Y/N?"

I sighed as I kept my gaze on his desk for a few seconds before turning around to glare at him.

"You shouldn't be here, you're supposed to be resting in bed."

I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms in front of my chest, and leaned my lower back onto his desk. "Last time I checked, I'm not marked by you so I don't have to follow your stupid orders."

Our last interaction was a confrontation and we both didn't realize it. I couldn't say I regret it nor was it worth it.

Zalgo screamed out in pain as he let me go to try to attend to his wound, making my head slam onto the ground.

If living meant I would suffer more, I choose death.

(~~~)

The pastas froze in shock when Y/N let out her final breath.

"No!" They screamed.

Zalgo stumbled back as he tried to pull out the dagger. He groaned in pain as he saw her dead on the floor. His vision had completely come true and there was nothing else he could do. He couldn't change his destiny when it was already written down.

The ring of fire died down, making the pastas run up to her.

Zalgo let out his final breath as he smirked at Slenderman. "He comes." He warned them before his seventh mouth opened.

"No!" Slenderman raised his hand at him to stop him, but it had been too late. His souls were free and would cause destruction. His body slowly turned into golden dust, like Zen. Zalgo was now dead.

Slenderman teleported in front of her body before he sank to the ground and pulled her into his arms.

E.J.who was previously trying to find a pulse before Slenderman arrived, shook his head. He stood up to join the others watching Slenderman in silence.

"I'm so sorry Y/N!" Slenderman sobbed as he held her tighter. "I didn't want you to die!" He gently stroked some hair strands behind her ear. "I just got you back, you can't leave us again."

His brothers had warned him of this. He would realize he cared about her but it would be too late. She was now dead and now he had to carry the burden for the rest of his life. He was barely dealing with the consequences after years of constant mistakes.

The proxies were on their knees as they took off their masks, paying respect to their former head proxy. Poor Toby cried uncontrollably as his twitches worsened. Masky and Hoodie pulled him into a side hug, as a way to silently comfort him.

Painter also took off his mask and kept his gaze on the floor while Puppeteer placed his hand on his shoulder as he looked at her with a sad expression.

Liu and Jeff hugged each other, realizing how lucky they were both alive and had each other. They both kept a neutral expression but fought their urge to cry. Y/N made them reunite as brothers. Without her, they would have killed each other or would have had no communication.

Ben and Dark were also on their knees as they paid respect. Y/N had brought them together yet they weren't able to thank her. The last time Dark had a proper conversation with her was when they formed a plan. After that, everything happened too fast. She got influenced by Zalgo, got hurt multiple times, and now she was dead.

E.J. and L.J. were standing with sad expressions as they stood behind the proxies. L.J. recalled when Y/N and he went out and brought Sally to the mansion. Ever since then, Sally was a bundle of joy in his life. E.J. recalled how he was the only one that didn't get brought into the mansion by her but their first interaction was on the same night. He helped her bandage her wound when she tried to stop Liu and Jeff from killing each other. How could he have forgotten that when the topic of immortality was brought in?

They all couldn't accept that their friend had gone. She had brought them all to the mansion and had done so much for them, they weren't able to repay her. They weren't able to save her from Zalgo.

"I'm so sorry! Please come back to us." Slenderman pressed her body on himself before kissing her forehead as he sobbed. He looked down at her wounds, making his heart shatter into a million pieces. He couldn't imagine the physical and mental pain she had felt throughout the years, especially with this fight.

Regrets swirled through his head as he kept trying to think of ways this could have been avoided. It all began when she came into the mansion and he was so cold towards her.

She wouldn't need to prove herself to him if he was kinder. She wouldn't have taken the hit and Zen would have stayed in the mansion. Y/N wouldn't have grown with Zalgo's secret visits, nor would she sacrifice her freedom to save the pastas. She wouldn't have died if he just gave her immortality and told her the actual way to kill Zalgo when they had their battle. If only he trusted her sooner.

One thing for certain, it was all his fault and now everyone was paying the price for it.
