BEN DROWNED X Reader-Passing Death p.t 15

The pirates looked over the side of the ship where BEN had jumped. They all looked at one another then back to Isua who was fuming.

"He jumped..what do we do now?"one pirate asked. Isua sighed and rubbed her temple.

"There's nothing we can do..He'll just have to stay down there…I suppose.."she says.

"C-captain! There's something down there!"One pirate called as she looked over the ship. Isua stood and walked over, looking down into the dark water.

"What is it?"she asked.

"There!"The other female pointed to a dark spot in the water just beneath the ship. Isua looked over and gasped when a long metal chain shot out from the water into the air. She fell to the ground and looked up at it in horror. It was like a giant tentacle coming down on them. She rolled out the way quickly just as said chained slammed down hard against the deck of the ship, destroying a few floorboards upon impact and wrapping itself fully around the ship.

Before the crew could even process what was happening, a second chain shot out from the water, this time, going straight through the ship. Then another, and another. One after the other, the large deadly chains emerged and wrapped around the ship, destroying it even more with each hit.

It was like being attacked by the old folk tale, the Kracken  but more deadly and made completely out of metal. The crew ran around in a panic as the chains began to break the ship apart. Isua held onto the side of the boat as it began to tip to the side.

She watched helplessly as he fellow crew members tumbled off the side and into the water, surely to their deaths.

"This can't be…BEN's power…"she said as she clung to the side for dear life. Another chain shot out from the water, right at her and wrapped itself around her ankle. She gasped and let out a horrendous cry as it yanked her from the ship and into the water.  No sooner than colliding with the icy liquid, she panicked, kicking her legs and thrashing her arms about, trying desperately to breach the surface.

But the chain's grip was strong and nearly crushed her ankle as it pulled her down. She looked downward at the chain, seeing it connected to a dark figure in the water that was swimming towards her. First she saw two glowing red eyes, then a malicious smirk coming right for her.

She knew it was BEN, coming for her. She could make out his entire figure now and saw that the chains were coming from him. His wrists, his ankles, all bound by the chains that had split her ship apart and which was now wrapped around her ankle. BEN smirked at her as he drew closer. Now, the two were mere inches apart staring into one another's eyes.

He raised his arms slightly, causing the chains to lash out and grip each one of Isua's appendages. She looked frantic as the chains latched around her and slowly began to pull in different directions as BEN  spread his arms apart. She screamed out in pain as her muscles along with her ligaments began to stretch to their limit but even then BEN didn't stop.

He continued to have the chains pulls apart until the snapping of her bones and the tearing of her skin, muscle, and ligaments could be heard beneath the water. In an instant, he swung his arms back as far as they could go behind him and the chains pulled hard all at once, ripping each appendage from Isua's body.

The water around BEN began to change to the color of red as blood merged with it. He smirked wickedly at the sight then turned back to swim towards your unconscious figure. Taking you gently in his arms, he began to swim up through the wreckage of the ship and to the surface. He gasped for air once he reached it and began to swim towards the shore where he laid you down on the soft warm sand.

However, BEN was slightly worried when he saw that you were not waking. Gently, he pressed against your chest, then harder. The sudden force, caused you to lurch forward and cough up water instantly. He rubbed your back in small circles as you coughed and wheezed in sudden attempts to catch your breath.

You glanced over at him but jumped when you saw his eyes. They were black with glowing red pupils and oozing with blood. You eyed the chains around his wrists and ankles then pulled away from him.

"W-who are you??"you ask.

"Relax..it's me..BEN…"he says in a cold smooth tone. You purse your lips at him then glance towards the sea but you saw nothing. No signs of the pirates anywhere.

"W-what happened to the pirates?"You ask, looking back at BEN who was grinning maliciously.

"Oh, I took care of them so don't worry…."he says, getting to his feet. You do the same but don't get too close to BEN. You didn't trust him when he was in that cruel state. You remember it all to well from when you were with Jeff and BEN had changed like that so he could bring you back to the afterworld. He wasn't the same in that state. You could feel his evil aura and bloodlust which honestly scared you. You were terrified of this side of BEN.

BEN stared at you with those cold black and red bloody eyes. He then looked down at himself and held a hand up to his face, eyeing the chain latched onto his wrist.

"So..this is the power those pirates wanted?"he muttered to himself. His deathly smirk began to grow as he turned his head to look back at you. "Those pirates said that if they had my power, they could rule this world. Hehehe, I wonder if the same applies for me. I could become the god of this world.."He says. You raise a brow and take a step back from the boy.

What did he mean? What was he talking about? Become god of this world? Impossible..Nobody could become god, had he lost his mind?

"B-Ben you can't become god…"you say, earning a sharp glare from him. You flinched when he approached you angrily and stood in front of you.

"And why the hell not? Why do they get to be god and I don't?!"he shouted.

"What if they couldn't BEN? What if nobody can become god! If you could would you still be here?!"You shouted back, trying not to show the fear you felt towards the boy. He let out an annoyed growl then turned away from you, annoyed by the fact..you were right. He couldn't become god, not even in this world, if he could, he wouldn't still be trapped here with the chains weighing him down to such a place.

His fist clenched tightly and looked down at the chain around his wrist, glaring at it.

"You're right..I'm nothing but a fucking trapped soul! God Dammit!!!!"BEN shouted, slamming his fist downwards into the white sand of the beach. Surprisingly, it caused a great tremor that flung you back onto your back against the ground. BEN however, fell to his knees slowly and hunched over. You didn't even realize what he was doing until you saw the sand become wet in tint droplets beneath him.

BEN, was crying. No, sobbing. You stood slowly and walked over to him, staring at his back as he hunched over.

"Why..? Why was I left here by god? Why am I still here? Why did I have to be killed…Why did I have to be born into such a time period? I'm gonna be here forever and there's nothing I can do about it…"he whimpered, sliding his shackled hands up to his hair and pulling at his messy blonde locks.

You didn't know what to do. Should you try and console him or let him vent? BEN stood slowly and looked back at you, his eyes leaking blood as well as tears.

"You can wait a bit to get into the temple can't you _______? I..kinda just wanna stay here for a while.."he says, glancing away from you. Of course, you nod and turn away.

"Sure of course. I ind a wanted to enjoy the beach a little bit longer anyway.."You tell him, hoping he would crack at least a smile but he didn't. BEN simply sat down on the sand and brought his knees up to his chest as he gazed outwards at the sea water.

You couldn't tell what he was thinking about behind those sad vacant eyes but you could tell what he was feeling. Depression. You had seen people get depressed when you were alive but never like BEN's. He was completely silent and still like a statue. And thats exactly what he turned into.

You watched in shock as BEN slowly transformed back into the statue he was when you first arrived in the afterlife. You gasp and run over to his side, dropping to your knees beside him.

"Ah! BEN? BEN!!"You tried calling to him as you gripped his cold stone shoulders, yet he did nothing. Said nothing. "BEN!"You shook him this time but still, nothing happened. You sighed deeply and released the little statue of BEN before sitting next to him with your gaze aimed at the water as well.

There must be a way to pull him out of his depressed state but what could you do? You didn't even know what would make BEN happy.

What would make BEN happy?



What?
