PINK BLOOD+KNIFE+TRIGGER WARNING Murder drones human AU: Birthday Reboot FYI: Nathaniel/Nathan = N Bianca = B ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ PLOT/STORY: (WARNING, LOTS OF READING!) Nathaniel wakes up on his 18th birthday. Pretty nice, sunny day. He never truly liked the idea of big parties or celebrations, so he normally just hung out with friends at parks, or cafes together for his birthday. He also will hang out with his sister, Bianca. At the end of the night, Nathan was trying to sleep in his bedroom, but couldn't. He decided to go out for a walk and hope he'd be tired enough by the time he got back home. When Nathan took a turn off his street, he began hearing footsteps behind him. Heavier shoes than his old converse he was wearing. He looked back...nothing. Kept walking. A few minutes later, he heard it again. And...breathing. Someone was definitely behind him. He looked back and saw someone in a black sweater, black boots, and black pants. The hood of the sweater was up, and covering the face was a mask. A white mask with a creepy, smiling face, Small fake, painted cracks around the edges of it. He noticed a small blue and yellow star on the forehead as well. When Nathaniel turned back to look and had stopped walking, the person kept moving. Getting faster. They were holding something in their hand, it was hard to tell what since it was dark. He keeps walking, hoping the mystery person will go away. The opposite happens. They begin running at him. Nathan copies them. Running with no context, he starts hearing his heartbeat getting faster. Eventually he takes a bad path to try getting home. A steep hill, he would easily get hurt or trip running down. For safer chances, he runs on the grass, trying to yell, but not many houses in that area had owners. Nobody was hearing him. His ankle slips onto its side, and he stumbles, and keeps running. At this point, the person is now extremely close behind him. He hears their breathing, and a small laugh. He couldn't tell if they were male or female yet...But after that laugh-his vision sorta...flashed. He felt a heavy pain in the right side of his back. Something cold went through his body, and he fell and couldn't move. He tried to scream, he tried to get back up. His vision went black. He woke up to the sun of his bedroom window in his eyes. It was morning, and that pain in his back was gone. He was in his bed. He got up and went to the kitchen, confused. Sure he was terrified, but for some reason he couldn't do anything but wonder what happened. Was it a dream? But- it felt too real. The pain was too real. That night, the same thing happened. It happened every night. No matter what he changed in the day, it always ended up the same. He would always wake up on the day of his birthday. Every time, he felt more dull. Less happy, less of himself than he was before, like each night stole some part of him he couldn't get back. He tried everything he could think of. He tried leaving all of this, but he just woke up in that bed, the sun in his eyes. He began isolating himself. Canceling those plans with friends. His room always clean no matter how many times he trashed it when breaking down the day before. This keeps happening. Nathaniel cant find out who it is right now, but he keeps trying no matter how much he wants to give up, because that might just be his only hope for all this to end.
