I Can't Even [Reader X Reader X Reader]

A Spooky Beginning?

"Ooh, you're armed!" the figure giggled, now completely outside of the screen. That was your voice. It spoke in your own voice.

Though it was glowing a white-ish blue before, it looked to be 'cooling down' a bit. A few key features appeared on its face. Those were your features.

"What do you want?" you asked it. After all, maybe it just wanted your snacks? Or a blood sacrifice?

The creature giggled again, standing up to the same height as you. It was an exact copy of you. Slightly blurry and still glowing, though not as bright as before. "I want you."

"... that sounded a bit suggestive."

"Get your mind out of the gutter," it rolled its eyes, "I'm here to kidnap you for my boss."

"Shit!" you threw the butter knife at it.
It dodged.

"Oh, I do love it when they don't comply!" it stepped towards you, electrical sparks flying around its outstretched hands.

Eyeing the cup of water on the counter behind the creature, you thought fuck it.

You dove under its arm, feeling your hair rise due to the electricity in the air.

The creature let out yet another giggle. "Is that all you can do, hm?"

"Valid question, bad timing," you grabbed the cup and flung it at the monster. The momentary shock on its face was priceless.

Its movements got awkward, quick and jittery. Its arm began clipping through its torso, half of its face sinking into the skull. You almost couldn't take your eyes off of it, but you did. Bolting for the stairs, you yelled out to your friends.

"GUYS! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS-"

A small wave of electricity shot through you, bringing you to your knees and a scream from your throat. It had yanked you back into its warm embrace and began dragging you to the kitchen.

Its left arm began clipping into its torso again, giving you an opportunity to wiggle out of its clasp. Along with your own footsteps, you heard your friends' footfall. As you made it to the top of the stairs, you met up with them.

"You're going the wrong way!" you bolted past them to Rosa's room. They came shortly behind you, quickly locking the door.

Everything was quiet there for a minute. No thud against the door, no nothing. Just your heaving, your friends' lighter panting and Evil Shark Man 2 playing in the background.

"So... did you guys get a good look at that thing?" Leslie looked more at you than Rosa.

"Yeah, you could say that," you said between breaths. "It... it looked just like me. It was like an exact copy of me, just... glowing? And blurry? It came out of my fucking phone..."

Your friends stood there, as did you. What are you even supposed to do in these situations?

"Did you say it... came out of your phone?" Rosa's eyes trailed to her computer, sitting innocently on her bed. Playing Evil Shark Man 2.

"Shi-"

Half a glowing body spilled out of the screen, the rest climbing out slower.

It made some sort of a mechanical laughing noise.

You dashed for the door, Leslie swooped for the window, Rosa had better plans.

She dove under her bed.
Yeah.

Not long after you grabbed the handle had a glowing hand snaked its way around your wrist, sending mild-to-moderate shocks throughout your body. Unfit to fight back, you were dragged to the screen.

Your limbs took on a glow of their own as the thing began climbing back into the screen, still playing goddamn Evil Shark Man 2.

BANG!

The painful electrical pulses were replaced by a loud ringing in your ears. You looked down at your limbs again. They looked normal, no brighter than the average person's. A little shaky, but otherwise okay.

Rosa pulled on your arm, getting you off of the creature's unmoving body. A pistol sat in her other hand.

She was saying something.
Something kind, probably, in a soothing voice. You couldn't hear it over the ringing.
