I didn't know something like this could happen to me.
I'm serious. Just two weeks ago, I was a happy, healthy nineteen year old girl with an awesome boyfriend and a wonderful life. Now, I'm not so sure. I've been, for lack of a better word, followed. Well, maybe not in the physical sense, but I feel like someone's always watching me. If I hadn't purchased that stupid Majora's Mask copy for my boyfriend, maybe I wouldn't be in this mess.
It all started two weeks ago. My boyfriend and I found my father's old Nintendo 64 in the attic (it's been years since someone cleaned out that place,) and decided to try to relive our childhoods. However, all that was with the console was a controller, and no games, which I found to be odd. My father had at least six or seven games last he played, about a year ago. Did he sell them in a yard-sale perhaps? I don't know, but all I did know was my boyfriend was itching to play, so I went to the nearest pawn shop.
What I found would cause my heart to stop.
Now, I'm going to note, yes, I've read the "BEN Drowned" creepypasta, but I never thought something simliar-eerily similar, would happen to me.
I walked into the pawn shop and immediately flocked to the old N64 cartridges. Unfortunately, there were no games that my boyfriend (to protect his identity and such, I suppose I will call him "Haldis") and I would have BOTH liked, so I was rocking back and forth on my heels until the guy at the counter, a very handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes touched my shoulder.
"What are you looking for, ma'am?" He asked me. I asked softly if maybe, perhaps, he had a Legend of Zelda game, since both Haldis and I loved that game series (we're replaying Twilight Princess for the one-thousandth time) and my heart sunk when the guy's face fell. Then, almost suddenly, he brightened up.
"I'll be right back! I have just the thing." He left me, and I felt uneasy. He wasn't displeasing in appearance, but his personality... don't ask me why, but if this place hadn't been so well-lit, I wouldn't have been near this man without some sort of weapon.
As I waited, I looked through the games, praying that maybe, just maybe, I'd find another game, talk to the gal at the counter and get the hell out of there. I didn't want to be there much longer, due to my gut telling me something was seriously wrong with this guy. I gazed at the games just so much more, and the man's heavy hand clapped onto my shoulder, causing me to jump and nearly shriek when he placed a gray cartridge with only "Majora's Mask" in green permanent marker, and very pretty handwriting, too. My heart nearly stopped.
Someone had made another BEN Drowned copy of Majora's Mask. .perfect.
"I know what you're thinking, but no, this is not a BEN Drowned copy of this game," He said, a shit-eating grin on his face, "I enhanced this copy myself, there is no need to fear."
"How much is it then?" I asked.
"Free. I was waiting for a customer to come along and take this off my hands." He said. I looked at the game, then the man, and then the game again. What could it hurt to take it home? I thanked the man and nearly ran out of the store, my heart pounding so hard in my chest that I was afraid I was going to pass out. I quickly jumped into my car, and turned on the ignition, putting the game cartridge next to me. The man from the store was waving and smiling at me, his eyes closed. I almost screamed when I realized why the man had me on edge.
He looked like the Mask Salesman from the very game I had just taken.
I put on my seatbelt as fast as I could, and drove away towards home, hoping to leave the creepy as hell experience behind me.
I got home and showed it to Haldis. He smiled and hugged me.
"It's a beta version of Majora's Mask, isn't it?" He asked. I answered in the affirmative, and soon enough, we were playing the game. I only watched at first, scared that the Elegy of Emptiness statue would jump out of nowhere and give me an excuse to throw the game at the man from the pawn shop's face. However, that didn't happen, so I settled down and played myself. Night fell, and Haldis decided to go to bed, but I wanted to continue playing the game, so I told him to go on without me.
How...stupid...that...was...
I decided to do the "fourth day" glitch, but it didn't work. Instead of the glitch, I got a screen of the Elegy of Emptiness statue, and text underneath. I nearly screamed for the fourth time that day.
The text read "You shouldn't have done that..."
