Their Possession - Slashers x Reader

-Chapter 44: Emotionally Exhausted-

"So what do you...what do you want to do...? O-Once we get there, I-I mean-!" Norman shyly stammered; giving your hand a soft squeeze as the four of you walked down the abandoned trail leading towards Camp Crystal Lake.

"Well, it is a pretty nice day." You commented casually, musing over his question whilst you decided to interact with the three of them. "I'll probably just do what I did last time. Which was take a stroll around the lake...talk to Jason...catch up...things like that, y'know?"

"Sounds like a pleasurable plan to me." Hannibal spoke in his usual pleasant tone, walking alongside you on your right side while Norman clung to your hand like a child on the left. And even though you were still pretty pissed-off at them, you couldn't help but enjoy their company to some degree at least.

Because whether you liked it or not, Norman was behaving extremely adorable, Hannibal was acting charming as per usual, and Michael...well, let's just say you'd always had a thing for the sweet but silent types. In fact— W-Wait just a second! You shook your head - surprising all three killers as you stopped to clear your head. You weren't about to forgive them so easily...were you? After all, Michael was the one who injured your mom so maliciously. And without a second thought too! So why were you acting so...so calm around them!? They were the reason she got hurt!

"(Y-Y/n)-? How come...How come you've stopped-?" Norman also stopped walking - staring at you with wide and innocent eyes instead. "E-Everything's okay, right...?"

"I take it that there's a reason you're no longer walking?" Hannibal delicately brought up the sensitive subject; awaiting your response as he and Michael stopped too.

"I...I'm sorry, I just..." Your voice died out, tears pricking at the edge of your eyes while you started to feel mixed emotions.

"You just...?" The psychiatrist smoothly repeated, noticing the tiny tears and sudden mood swing immediately after.

"I just don't understand how you can all act so...so carefree - especially after hurting my mom and me the way you three did." You wearily explained how you felt, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear as you attempted to calm yourself down. They wouldn't care anyway. They wouldn't...They wouldn't understand.

"Angelo mio," Hannibal cradled both sides of your face with his hands and called you another intimate nickname in Italian, "You have to understand, we don't...think the same way other human beings do. People like us...well, let's just say we take extremely drastic measures to secure the things we truly desire."

"But...But... You all used emotional blackmail on—!" Before you could finish, his light lips pressed against yours with the utmost of care; the unexpected kiss stunning you into silence.

Your eyes widened to the size of saucers, your heartbeat quickened and your negative thoughts got pushed to the back of your brain; the surprising romance forcing you to remain shocked. Hannibal was...He was kissing you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him and the others? What in God's name were you doing!? "So why do you grow so nervous when I touch you?" "Because you touched me out of nowhere!" "Then why didn't you try and stop me?" "Because I wasn't expecting it!" "So why haven't you done anything?" "Because—!" Freddy's words echoed around your mind, his words beginning to make more and more sense while the sweet kiss continued.
