Norway x Reader - Button Eyes Part 12

You stared at the dust that was the Other Lukas. It was swept up by the wind and you saw that something shiny appeared in your hand, where you had cradled his head before he died. It was a necklace ... with a large silver cross attached. You looked carefully and you saw that someone had engraved "From your pal, Tino Väinämöinen" on the back ... and "To Berwald Oxenstierna" on the front
Someone who is hurting will be pleased to see this ... it was intended to be a gift to that someone ... but the person giving the gift was claimed by the Beldame before that someone could receive it. Please ... get it to the right owner ... A whisper on the wind said
It sounded like Lukas's voice. You clung onto the cross tightly
"I will ..." You whispered
You wore it around your neck, just so you wouldn't lose it. You sighed and turned around. You looked at the open door of the Other Ivan's domain and took a deep breath. Seeing as the last Ghost Eye was in there, this wasn't going to be easy. You looked at where you had found the Other Lukas one last time ... and ventured into the apartment, clinging onto your frying pan. You were determined to slaughter Ivan ... you had to take your anger out on something ...
"привет, little girl ..." a voice hissed
You span around, frightened. Someone had closed the door behind you. You swallowed hard, slowly becoming terrified
"You think winning game is good thing? You'd just go home ... and be bored and neglected ... same as always!"
"That's not true. I didn't appreciate what I had until it was gone" You said
Your heart hurt when you remembered the Real Lukas smiling at you for the first ... and what could be the last time
"And someone likes me" You said
"Likes you? Oh come now, that's demented. Why would he like you, really?"
"Because ... he smiled at me" You said, blushing
You heard laughing
"This whole romance thing you've dreamt up is sweet, but it just proves you're too naive to win this game!"
"You're lying!" You cried "I know he cares about me because that Other of his is a copy ... and he loved me. Therefore, the Real one must feel the same!" You said, becoming angry
"Don't be a dummy ... stay with mummy ..."
"Never!" You shouted
"No? ... Oh, I see how it is"
You prepared yourself. You had no idea where he was hiding ... and you had no intention of being taken by surprise. You closed your eyes ... and began to hum the song you heard Lukas hum when he made the fog thin ... and when you met his eccentric friend, Mathias
"Wh-what are you doing?"
You noticed the distress in his voice so you began to hum louder. And he let out a horrified screech
"STOP IT!"
For some reason, you finally remembered it ... it was Itsumo Nando Demo from Spirited Away. There was one last horrified screech and you heard something hit the floor. Out of the darkness, came hundreds of rats, which made you scream. One of the rats had a small brown ball. Once you saw this, you chased after it ... but the moment you stepped outside and ventured onto the grass, you lost it. You looked up at the moon in horror. It was almost completely covered up. You fell to your knees and began to cry. You had lost the game ...

You heard a meowing and you looked up. The cat had a dead rat in its mouth. Luckily, it was the one holding the brown ball. The cat dropped it
"I think I mentioned that I don't like rats at the best of times ... but it seemed you needed this one" He said, batting the ball over to you with his paw
You smiled and the ball shone brightly
"Be careful! Even if you win, she'll never let you go!" Finland's voice said
You nodded and you put the ball in the satchel
Suddenly, the whole world turned black and white ... and lifeless. To your surprise, it started falling apart. You had to get inside, and fast
"Come on, hurry!" You said
The cat jumped into the satchel and you rushed inside the house, closing the door behind you. You breathed a sigh of relief ... but there was just one obstacle left ...

The Beldame
