Many years pass of you living with the Creepypastas. You were an expert Killer by now, better that most of the others, and Slenderman's great proxy. You couldn't have asked for a better life.
~
You wake up one morning and you felt a slight headache growing within your head. It wasn't too bad, but it was enough to keep you in bed for a while, rubbing your forehead as if the pain would simply disappear.
After a while, you finally pull yourself out of bed and decide to just see Nurse Ann later on to help ease the symptoms of the headache.
~
As the day went on, the pain seemed to grow worse and worse. You eventually hobble your way to Nurse Ann's room, barely able to keep yourself standing. Ann quickly checks you up, but somehow could not find the cause behind your headache.
She then notice a faint black essence seeping out from your body and immediately notifies Slenderman. The time both she and he had feared had finally came....The End.
Slenderman strode up to you as you lay in Nurse Ann's room, your body stiff as more and more of the black mist escapes from your body. "(Y/N)..." Slenderman murmured, his voice sounding almost broken. You looked at Slenderman with pain in your eyes; you've never heard him sound so sullen and upset before.
"Slender..." You utter warily, "what's...what's happening to me? Did Zalgo do this...?"
"No my proxy. I'm afraid this...this is the end."
You strained yourself to sit up in the bed, looking at Slender with a frantic expression. The end? You couldn't be...dying? Not so suddenly? "What do you mean this is the end!? Slender, what's happening to me!?" You hiss, tears beginning to well up in your eyes.
"Your existence is...different from ours, (Y/N). I never told you this because I didn't want you to fear but...only me and Nurse Ann knew of your strange destiny. You're living a curse."
....Nani?
Slenderman notices the lost and scared look on your face and he sighs, taking a seat at the edge of where you lay. "Long before I took you along, I was confronted by two other worldly beings. They told me all about you; in form of a prophecy. Now your time is here...to return to the world you came from. The reason you're dying here is because the world you're from is summoning you back. It's the end of your story here..."
This couldn't be. Your whole life here was a lie? Why were you only finding this out now?
"So basically, I'm just waking up from a bad dream," You scoff, your voice weak and frail. "It would be simple to put it that way," Slenderman sighed, resting a hand on your shoulder. "I'm sorry, my proxy. Would you like to tell the others your goodbyes...?"
You nod slowly and Nurse Ann hurries out of the room to retrieve the other Creepypastas. You saw that more and more of yourself was beginning to become shrouded by the dark essence, and it looked like you didn't have much time left...
The first person to barrel into the room not too long after Nurse Ann left was Sally. She screamed your name at the top of her lungs when she ran into the room and saw you. She ran and jumped straight onto you, wrapping her arms tightly around you, shaking and crying.
"Don't leave me! Please don't die...(Y/N) please!!" She cried, squeezing your neck. You were scared because you'd never heard or seen Sally this distressed before; it felt like a bullet through the heart. You hugged Sally back tightly and rubbed her back, urgently trying to soothe the girl, but it was no use.
"I'm not really dying," You try softly, "I'm only returning back to the real world...the world I'm from."
"NO! This is your world, you belong here with me and Slendy and everybody else and-"
Sally got choked on her own words and began crying again, backing out of the hugs and covering her face. "Sally..." You utter helplessly as you watched your dear friend.
You look up when you hear the heavy pounding of footsteps and see the other Creepypastas appear at the door.
They all froze and stared at you, stared at the darkness eating you up. You saw EJ fall to his knees, unmoving as he looked towards you in horror. BEN began shaking and blood began streaming down his face more frequently than they ever did. Hoodie covered his mouth in shock and Masky only stared in silence at you. Toby was sniffling non-stop, his hand clenched, trying hard not to lose his mind. Everyone else was also stuck in a complete state of disbelief and sadness.
Jeff walked up to you, holding up a shaking fist and his teeth clenched tightly. "You can't do this to us! We're Creepypastas, we can't die! You can't just fucking die on us!" He shouted, his voice cracking more as he spoke.
It was torture, seeing them like this, and you tried not to go mad from it all. "Jeff please...it's not...I'm not...I...."
"You what!?"
"I...."
...There were no words you could find to explain the situation. You felt completely hopeless and heart-broken. You watched sullenly as some of the others slowly started to approach your bedside, and Sally rolled off of your bed onto the floor, running into Jane's arms.
You glared at all your friends surrounding you, seeing the pain in their eyes, and you wish badly for a way to reverse this end; there had to be a way for you to live.
"Slender...isn't there a way to save me?" You asked, turning to the tall entity. "I'm sorry (Y/N), but this is your prophesied destiny...I cannot stop you from returning to your world," Slenderman replied, turning to you.
"I don't want to go...this is my world...my home is here, with you guys..."
"Won't you ever come back?" Laughing Jack asked, his voice soft. "I don't know..." You respond, "I'm not even fully aware of what's going on..."
"We're really...really going to miss you," Homicidal Liu spoke up, lowering his head. "You mean so much to us..."
"You were growing on me like a sister," Zero sniffed, rubbing her eyes and turning away from you. "Wh-Whenever I was alone, you'd spend t-time with me...I'll-I'll forever appreciate that (Y/N), I promise!" Lost Silver cried out, his tears falling to the floor. "(Y/N)-Chan, anata wa saikodeshita....don't leave me...!" KageKao whimpered, hugging your leg tightly.
"There isn't much time left, hurry up, all of you," Slenderman said, standing up from your bedside. You look at yourself and realize your legs were beginning to become transparent; disappearing. KageKao fell through your disappearing leg and gaped at the space in shock.
The rest of the Creepypastas quickly gathered around you, telling you their last goodbyes and giving you hugs while shedding tears. "It was...an honor working beside you," Hoodie said, his voice shaking. Masky nodded his head rapidly, his face red. Kate continuously wiped the tears from her face while Toby remained silent with his head down.
Eyeless Jack tightly wrapped his arms around you.
"Aw man EJ" You murmured, raising your head to look up at him. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize...this isn't something you can control."
More than half of yourself was gone now, and the black essence surrounding you had grown intense. Your vision was growing blurry and you felt yourself becoming lightheaded.
Everything for you was finally coming to its end. Everything in this 'fake' world as you knew it. "Goodbye, you guys..." You say softly, looking around at all of your family one last time. Slenderman rested his hand on your shoulder, and you turned to him weakly. He was the last one you saw before everything before you dissolved. . . . .
~
Blinking your eyes open, you saw that you were outside...sitting in mid air. Surprised at first, you immediately stood up, looking around you frantically. You were in the air, a little ways above the mansion which you saw settled below you. You tried moving yourself towards the mansion, but for some reason you could not advance forwards, or anywhere besides the spot you were stuck in.
You slowly sat back down and wrapped your arms tightly around your knees, beginning to shiver and feeling the urge to cry. You unexpectedly felt a hand rest upon your shoulder, and you quickly turn around, gasping aloud.
You see a giant being floating behind you that wore black torn garbs covering its body. It's whole body was that of a skeleton's, and in its hand it held a giant sickle scythe. "Grim Reaper?" You utter, looking at the iconic symbol of death before you. "Welcome to the end of the story, (Y/N)," Grimm snarled, managing to make his face form a dark grin. "Me and my companion are ready to escort you back to the real world."
You spot the figure of someone slowly appearing behind Grimm Reaper; an elf looking boy with an overly cheery expression on his face and a black suit. "Who are you?" You ask him quietly, and he giggles, dramatically holding up a hand to the air. "A dark elf named Ezra. I'm a necromancer!"
"We don't have time for drawn out conversing. You can't stay here idle. It is time to go," Grimm sneered, holding out his hand to you. You watch his hand for a moment before looking up to him helplessly. "Isn't there...isn't there a way I can stay here? Please...?"
"You can't stay in a world that doesn't exist forever. It's time for this story to close and for you to return to reality-"
"Ahem" Ezra purposely interrupted, and Grimm turned to him angrily. "It seems you forgot, Grimy! There IS a way for her to stay in this world, but I'll leave that to you to explain to her."
Grimm Reaper sighed heavily and turned back to you; you were now much more alert after hearing that there was a way for you to stay.
"Fine, ill explain," Reaper said.
"The only way for you to return to life here...the only way to be with your family again is to relive your whole time spent with them again. This is your curse, that you are bound to forever. Your memory will be wiped and you will experience all the pain and torture, the happiness and joy...everything you felt during your life with the pastas will be felt once again. Everything will be new to you, yet these things you have already lived. This is your only option, (Y/N). Your only option to be able to live here again is to repeat all that has happened. If you do not wish to adhere, then you will remain dead here and life here will continue on without you. This story of your life will close forever, and slowly your memory will fade from the pastas in the many years to come."
Ezra floated around you and exclaimed, "It is up to you, (Y/N)! Are you ready to make your decision? Will you repeat the story of your life, or will I be escorting you back to your world; the real world that goes on outside of this dumb story?"
You sit in silence for a while, your mind still spinning in disbelief. You thought back to your life and your time with the Creepypastas. What a shame it all had to end so soon...you could hardly believe this wasn't even your real world. All of it was fake-somewhat like a dream..?
It almost felt like you were living in a book being read by someone else, and now that the story was coming to a close, the only way for you to continue living with the Creepypastas was for the 'reader' to re-read the story again.
Now you had the chance to relive that all; from the time Slenderman first took you along, and the time you met the pastas...adjusting to them and becoming their friend, their family. All the trials and fun you've had with them. You would get to live again...but only repeating your life...
"A cycle," Grim spoke up, "This will continue forever until you finally decide to stop repeating your life. You will never be aware of these things until your 'death', if you do chose repeat. Otherwise, it'll be just like your first time, everything being completely new to you."
"I encourage you to die! Why would you wanna live through all that boring stuff again? Give this story a rest," Ezra squeaked, holding up his palm and emitting a small purple flame. "Let's face it, (Y/N). It's pointless continuing the same dumb life you already lived here over again. Leave everything the way it is; you lived life and loved it, just like any normal person. If you repeat and happen to keep repeating every time you die, you'll cause this world to fall into entropy."
Grim gave a smug grin and tapped his fingers together. "That doesn't sound too bad to me. Entropy would equal eventual chaos. But let's just say (Y/N) wanted to repeat her life with the Creepypastas only once. Now would that be too bad?"
Ezra sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "No, it wouldn't. But if she keeps doing it, this will all become boring and fade away eventually."
You feel the gravity of your two decisions weighing upon you. Would you relive your life? Repeat the whole story and get to experience everything you did with the pastas again? Or would you let it come to its rightful end, and return back to the real world?
You think for a long time, looking back between the mansion and the two entities that floated before you.
You close your eyes.
You take a deep breath.
You make your decision.
Both Grim and Eiz smile and they hold out their hands to you. You get up from the ground and take their deathly cold hands in yours.
"Very well," Grim said as darkness began to swirl around the three of you, "Let us commence with your choice."
This is the end, my creeps. Unless you/your OC decided to repeat their/your life(re-read the story) again, that is.
If not, it's good to see that you've returned safely to the real world. Now, live on your real story! Although the Creepypastas aren't there, at least you'll have them in your memories. They won't forget you for ages on. I hope you enjoyed the book/aka, your Life With The Creepypastas. I wish you happiness and peace as you continue on with your true life outside of this story. Cha~.
