Also, the other "Haunting Music" is just if you need any music playing, to fit the mood. I think it would be good to play it while reading this :>

[Name] brushed her hair out, getting rid of all the tangles within it and making sure it was at its best possible standard. She walked towards the mirror, staring at herself in satisfaction that she was ready to go downstairs. Today was a special day, it was her birthday! She was turning [age] and to be honest, wasn't really that excited. Birthdays had eventually bored her out over time but the girl decided to just go along with this one (*cough*fOrThEpReSeNtSjKJKJKJK) Her current outfit was a simple [favourite colour] full sleeved dress with a few beautiful roses, but it wasn't too complicated. Her [hair colour] hair was left open and looked absolutely perfect. For her shoes, she wore a pair of wedges.

 Finally, she turned around and headed downstairs. A smile formed when she entered the living room, observing the colourful scene. Balloons of pink, blue, yellow, purple, green and many more were on the walls and some were left to roll on the floor- heck, some even had confetti in them. There was silvery bunting onto the walls which spelt out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY [NAME]". Your father walked over to you, kissing your forehead and told you the same thing, "Happy birthday, princess." You chuckled and thanked him, with the rest of your family saying the same thing. You sat down, pulling out your phone, waiting for the guests to arrive.

Eventually, everyone had arrived. And so, you decided to go along with your day. You had a great time, talking with your friends, eating cake, playing party games. You felt like it was a great party for once. Then, it was time for the presents. Gosh, how you had wished you never received your gift. Shocking to think that, isn't it? It changed your life. Anyway, everyone gave you the presents they had brought, covered and wrapped neatly with decorative wrapping paper. You felt joy in your heart. Your dad gave you a [item you really like lol], something you had always wanted. You gasped, hugging and thanking him for the gift. But there was still one thing left. It was another present from your dad. He informed you of this and held it out, the box covered with [favourite colour] wrapping paper and such. You opened it up, and to your surprise it was a Nintendo 64. You weren't upset it was old, you wanted to play some old games. Of course you were a modern gamer, but now you could try something else. It was exciting, for the least. There was a cartridge along with it. Again, you thanked him (lol) for all this and continued the day having an amazing time.

Once it was all over, you went up to your room and turned on the Nintendo 64. You pulled out the cartridge, and there was Majora's Mask. You had heard of this game before, it was quite popular. Sitting down with the game running, there was a file named "Ben". 

'Ben' you thought to yourself, 'who's that...?' You realised that your dad must have gotten it from a car boot or garage sale. Or at least bought it off someone, how else would he have gotten a hold of something this old? You were going to try and delete the file, when accidentally choosing it to play. "No!" you face palmed and sighed. But you shrugged and started playing the game, however it was working much differently. You tried to do the 4th day glitch, but right after exiting the telescope, you were in the Majora box room at the end of the game, with Skull kid floating over your head. There was no sound, just background music. Though it was still quite creepy. No matter where you went, Skull kid was always facing you. This wasn't supposed to happen, he wasn't supposed to be here in this room, neither were you. You carried on playing. This weird song came on while you were playing. It sounded like the song of healing but...backwards? What the hell? You went on with weird events occurring through out your gameplay. Link doing weird animations you've never seen before, statues appearing behind you, things that weren't supposed to happen were happening (basically everything that happens in the story of Ben Drowned happens here until a certain point). At one point during the game, when trying to attack, Link burst into flames. Screaming horrifically. You jumped out of sudden fear and a slight gasp left your lips. This was it, you've had enough of this stupid game. You didn't even realise the tears rolling down your cheeks, felt so much terror you were paralysed and had to keep on going for some reason. Only now did the thought hit you to just stop and snap out of it. You don't have to do this, it's traumatising you. It obviously wasn't normal. You had to get rid of it once and for all. So, what did you do?

 You ran outside, the same location at where your pool was...it was a bad idea. The Nintendo 64 was in your hand, as you avoided all people. It was turning dark, but that didn't matter. You just wanted to get rid of this weird game. Lighting a fire, the Nintendo 64 along with Majora's Mask was thrown in. Of course, you weren't going to leave till it was completely burnt and the remains were thrown far away from you and your house, with the fire out too. Alas, it was severely burnt so you decided to stop before you were caught. You couldn't bring yourself to the thought of telling your father about this, after the effort he must have went to find this just for your birthday. Neither could you tell anyone, not like anyone would believe it anyway. Or perhaps you'd be banned from all other games too, so that you don't come across these kinds of things again. Some things are best kept a secret. Moving on, the fire was then put out as you sighed, preparing to pick up the remains. Walking towards the door of the house to find a bag, you tripped over a small rock in your path. But it felt like more than just that. There was a heavy force that seemed to push you. Like, a really heavy force. And guess where you fell? Hell, guess what you fell into? That's right. The deep, wide pool that was next to you. You screamed as soon as you knew it, hitting the cold, wet water. Was this going to be it? Surely not, you can make it out...right? But you were falling unconscious already. You wanted to get out as fast as you could, but there was this feeling of apathy that prevented you from doing so. Falling deeper and deeper into the aqua blue waters of the pool, your eyes started to slowly close shut. Breathing, it was impossible. You were so desperate for air, but you couldn't hold onto it. You had never felt so much value for your life or air ever. In a flicker, everything ran through your head. Friends, family, the day you had today. Your entire life. This was it. It was over. Life really is short, but you've barely lived any of it. It was so unexpected that you'd die this way and today. Yesterday, you'd never have imagined all of this happening with your life coming to an end. That's just death I guess, it hits everyone like a truck. Even if you take a while to fully pass away (like an illness), you wouldn't have expected it to happen before it did. It's the end. However, you saw someone standing at the edge of the pool, staring into it. Right into your eyes. Sure, you were going unconscious, but there was enough of you left there to see the face. A stream of panic to ran through you. It was someone you had never recognised before. Strange...but then you understood. It was...Link. The character from Majora's Mask you play as...the game you received today. The one you played today. The character you played as. The one you just burnt. However, this one's eyes were peculiar. The white area was all black, his iris was red. And...this weird black liquid was dripping out of both his eyes. The last thing you heard were the words "You shouldn't have done that..." escape his lips. Then, everything went black as you closed your eyes.

The floor felt hard. It was pretty cold. You opened you eyes slowly, finding yourself laying down. Rubbing them and getting up, you saw yourself in a place you hadn't known. "What the..." you muttered quietly. Coming to your senses, you remembered everything that happened. Every single detail. The party, that messed up game, burning it, tripping over the rock with a supernatural force pushing you into that pool, drowning. And most of all, that boy who looked liked Link, except with those creepy as hell eyes. But...did you really drown? How were you still alive? Looking around, you gasped. This isn't a place you've never seen- you DID recognise it. It was the same place in Majora's Mask. Was this some sort of prank? No, it can't be. How could all of that be a prank brought together, but then how could this even be happening...? You felt so overwhelmed by your emotions and just wanted to go home and sleep. Still, the song of unhealing was playing somewhere in the distance, but it was difficult to find out where exactly it was coming from. Actually, it sounded more like background music. But that didn't make sense. None of this did. Tears once again escaped your eyes and rolled down your cheeks onto the cold floor. You were standing up by now, wiping away your tears. The second you looked up, someone's face was only inches away from yours. This made you jump and scream, out of fear and at the same time, help. Though, nobody was here to help you. In front of you, was the same creepy Link person that watched you drown. In attempt to run away, he stopped you by grabbing your delicate wrist. "You really shouldn't of done that." Again, the same words. A creepy smile remained on his lips literally the entire time from the moment you saw him. Trying to say something, you just couldn't bring yourself to do it. So, you tried to escape his grasp, but it was impossible. The 'Link copy's' strength was inhuman-like, as he tightened his grip. 

"Why did you try and get rid of me?" He whispered, tilting his head. Finally, he said something else. But at the same time, it was worrying. You managed to mumble out a few words, "W-what do you want from me?" He pulled you closer and repeated the words, "Why did you try and get rid of me?" It sounded a little more stern this time, but still smiling and quiet. You breathed, trying to calm yourself and answered. "W-weird things were happening...I was s-scared..." For some weird reason, he just chuckled. "All I wanted was to be with you. But since you burnt me away, this was the only alternative." The boy saw the horror in your eyes,"It's okay. Nobody will hurt you...We'll just be here together. Forever." He kept smiling, but now held you close. You felt quite comfortable in his arms but- you shaked off the feeling. 'What am I thinking?'  You were trapped here for the rest of your life with absolutely no way out. Not just that, but with HIM. He did this to you. Who knows what could happen. In this strange, strange world, with everyone who matters to you lost. Imagine what they'd be thinking. Where you've gone of to, what has happened. They'll try to find you, call the police. But it's no use, they'll never know that this is where you are, while you'll never be able to let them know or even see them again. Yet, you couldn't stop this small feeling inside of you want to be with him, with the contrast of wanting to leave at the same time. So confusing. One last thing was whispered into your ear, "Call me Ben. Ben Drowned." Another sudden urge to cry filled up inside of you once again. 

You're done for.
