Chapter Text
Elliot’s been acting.. weird. Weirder than usual. It’s making 007n7 uncomfortable.. especially with how the pizza boy has been eyeing him like a hungry animal. He’s been staying with the killer’s for a bit, just while Two Time heals. It was a nice change. Azure seemed.. clingy since I took his hat.. and the fact he’s more violent in round to everyone except me and Two Time.
..It was actually cute.
But otherwise. Apart from that, it was.. weird. Elliot always had this distant stare when he passed… it was a bit disturbing. Like now. 007n7 was heavily injured, John Doe was the killer and god he was ruthless. So of course, 007n7 went to Elliot, but now he was just getting a blank stare… “Uh.. Elliot?”
Elliot snapped out of his daze, slowly blinking before glaring 007n7 down. “Here.” He muttered handing over a slice of pizza that made 007n7 sigh in relief. “Thank you-“ before he was suddenly slammed against the wall, sharply yelping in pain. “Ow- Elliot?” Elliot had a dark stare, eyes completely blank before he pulled out a knife, making 007n7 freeze up.
Yes.. go on, Elliot. You know what to do. The voice whispered in Elliot’s ear, making his head twitch before he grinned, raising the knife- before gasping sharply feeling a dagger run through his chest, eyes slowly turning back to see Two Time. The cultist-soon to be ex cultist- has long went into their second life due to John Doe coming for them first.
”You. Are not allowed to touch him. He’s mine.” Two Time growled out the words possessively, twisting the dagger. They knew Elliot wouldn’t die- well, not completely. The dagger let out a disgusting squelch sound as Two Time pulled the dagger out, watching Elliot drop to the ground, clawing at his bleeding chest. Two Time ignored it, eyes softening as they scanned 007n7 over intensely. “Are you alright, dove?”
Dove? That’s a new one. 007n7 heavily panted, shakily nodding before grabbing Two Time’s hand. “Yeah.. I-I’m ok.. thank you.” Two Time softly smiled, pressing a kiss to 007n7’s cheek and making the ex hacker freeze with a startled chirp. “Of course, dove.”
It got weirder after that. Elliot got more violent to the point Guest of all had to stop him. All 007n7 did was drop a pizza, lightly complaining with Noob offering to help clean up before Elliot launched at him with a knife. Of course, Guest was close and managed to grab him, sharply hissing at Elliot while a panicked Noob hid behind an equally panicked 007n7.
“Could be like what happened with me.” Azure muttered softly as he slowly stirred a pot of soup, humming a soft tune as he held CoolKidd, the little demon offering to help cook. “Like.. mind control?” 007n7 raised an eyebrow, leaning back and tilting his head. “Mhm. Don’t know how pizza boy has that effect though.”
”Mmh.. I have a feeling we’ll find out..” 007n7 muttered before stifling a Yelp when CoolKidd shoved a spoon in his mouth. “Is it good, papa? Is it, is it!” 007n7 blinked before snorting and nodding, humming lightly. “Little more salt. Less Peppers.” CoolKidd nodded sternly before turning to Azure with bright eyes, the killer letting out a soft laugh and using his tentacles to grab said ingredients.
Another round. It’s been a weird month. First Two Time and Azure, then Elliot.. 007n7 probably has the worst luck. And even better, Two Time wasn’t in the round because Azure had gotten hurt pretty bad during one of the recent rounds.. that and they lost their dagger somehow. The ex hacker sighed, tail flicking in mild agitation as he scratched his horns. Leaning down to do a generator, he muttered softly to himself, keeping a sharp listen out. Jason had changed.. a lot. Well. Slasher, actually. He doesn’t know what happened with that.
007n7 was so hyper focused on the generator, he didn’t hear footsteps behind him. Didn’t see the dark grin spread across a certain survivors face as he raised a specific dagger. But he did hear Noli’s panicked voice sharply glitch out words a moment too late. “SEVEN, BEHIND YOU-“
”What-?” 007n7 froze with a sharp gasp of pain, glancing down to see a familiar dagger run right through his chest- near his heart. Two Time..? No. “E-Elliot..?” 007n7 stuttered out, with Elliot grinning sharply. A look that wasn’t his. That wasn’t Elliot. That’s the last thing 007n7 managed to process as dots scattered across his vision, slowly collapsing.
——
Elliot stared at the now lifeless body with a sharp grin. And then it was gone. The voice that had wriggled into his mind like an incessant worm was gone, the deathly silent whispers. Elliot stumbled, vision blanking out as he blinked in confusion before freezing with a gasp seeing the scene.. and the dagger in his hand. When did he.. why- “W-What..? I-“
“Elliot. What did you do.” Elliot froze, shakily turning with panic seeing Guest, Noob, Chance and surprisingly Noli there. Oh god.. what did he- “I-I don’t.. w-what happened..? I just- my head-“
”So Sev was right.” Noli muttered while Guest rushed to attend to 007n7, growling out sharp curses while Noob shakily handed a medkit over. “Right about what, Noli?” Noli stared, a blank look filled with anger but also pain and clear panic. The killer glanced at Elliot before answering simply.
”pizza boy here was being Mind controlled.” The survivors froze, Guest being the only one to keep moving, putting pressure on 007n7’s wound before being the one to speak up gruffly. “Mind control? What do you-“
”Let Sev explain when he wakes up.” Noli sighed, leaning down and knowing at this rate, those two little gay cultists weren’t going to be happy.
”If he wakes up…” Elliot mumbled, the voices, the whispered manipulation in his mind coming back as his breath picked up. Good job.. Elliot whimpered, wringing his hands and dropping to his knees.
What did he just do.
. . .
”You. Little. Shit.” Spawn’s winged finger snarled, glaring down The Specter’s body, having been impaled over and over while the formless entity simply cackled. “I should release all these damned souls you have trapped here-“
”Do that and your little cultists are next~” The Specter rasped out with a sharp grin while Spawn froze, it’s wings bristling dangerously before it grabbed The Specter by the neck with a low, dangerous growl. “If you even dare, I will end. Your. Life. Do not tempt me.”
”Then you better hope my little toys can save that poor hacker, heh.” The Specter cackled while Spawn glared, dropping the absolute manic and plucking one of their feathers out. “He will. At a price of one of your so called toys.” The Specter stopped, tilting his head with a grin. “What? Gonna kill poor little Elliot-“
”No. I’ll be transferring my dear Cultist into a different form.” Spawn spoke calmly while the Specter froze, growling and rising before screaming at an arrow piercing his skin and forcing him down. “NO. YOU CAN’T DO THAT. THIS IS MY DOMAIN.” Spawn simply smiled, holding up the feather and crushing it, blowing it in a random direction and watching its magic work. “Not for long.”
”No no no, my love-“ Two Time muttered, clutching at 007n7’s cold hand while CoolKidd absolutely bawled his eyes out, sobbing and clinging onto 007n7 while Azure tried to gently pull the child away. Noli told the survivors how to safely come to the killer’s cabin. Told them what happened.
Two Time should kill Elliot for this.. but he was not in control. This was not his fault. “Fuck…” Two Time whimpered, dropping their head on 007n7’s chest with a choked sob, Azure’s hand gently rubbing their back. “Nightshade..”
”I should’ve been there. It should’ve been me. I-“ Two Time sniffled, gripping onto 007n7. He was gone. No no.. why. Why did this hell have to take everything they loved. So despite their wavering loyalty to the Spawn.. Please Spawn.. please give me the power to save my newest love. Please…
Two Time didn’t feel the light twinkle of dust that scattered across their skin. Before it happened, Two Time froze up, eyes blanking out to a pure white… they felt their wings burst out their back, a tingling across their skin. It felt painful. They heard voices, both in panic and shock.
Before they collapsed.
”Apologies, Two Time. This process may be a bit painful.. it was sudden so I did not have time to prepare you as I would’ve liked. Do try not to scream. It’ll all be over before you know it.”
”…Let the transformation start.”
