A/N: Special thanks to Virgofox28 for giving me the inspiration for this new chapter! This is going to be good! Also: Don't expect chapters this quick, okay? It won't always be within a matter of days. Be prepared in case it takes weeks or months. This is still a work in progress, but it will take time.
I didn't have very many friends at school, but one boy in particular sticks out in my mind. His name is Aladar, and together we learned that my horrifying experiences were not just for me.
It had been over a year since my City Folk murder, and Aladar was getting in to Animal Crossing games. He already owned a copy of Wild World, so I lent him my copy of City Folk. Surprisingly, my Wild World game didn't go crazy on me again, so I thought City Folk would be the same.
I thought wrong.
The first few days Aladar kept saying how great the game was. About a week after, I noticed a change. He looked tired constantly, and he seemed afraid whenever I brought up the City Folk game. After a while, I questioned him. It was a strange story he told:
"I was playing your City Folk game and Cookie kept following me. Everyone else seemed to be scared of her. When I talked to Wolfgang, he said 'Don't look at her! Pink death!'"
I interrupted his story with a snort.
"'Pink death?' Cookie?"
"Elmer became a killer in your Wild World game." Aladar reminded me.
"Right, proceed."
"I didn't follow Wolfgang's advice, and I looked at Cookie. I saw her smile evilly, then my game saved and shut down the system. I have no clue what's going on!"
I hadn't told Aladar about the odd experience I had with City Folk, but it seemed the game wasn't finished with me.
"Look, I'll come over to your house sometime and I can watch you play. Guess that game wants to be crazy again." I said.
"'Again?' You mean that that game went insane on you too?" Aladar questioned.
"Sort of. I had a dream that Moe killed my character, and when I woke up my town was deleted. Look, I'm more than willing to watch you play and try to help you get rid of this phase of insanity. Shoot me a text or PM with details about when I can go 'Ghostbusters' on this game."
Little did I know that the night I had in store was another way the game has decided to torture me.
When I managed to get to Aladar's house, I learned that Avory moved out, and Elmer moved in.
Oh no.
We both knew that this was going to end up in another mishap.
Cookie continued to follow Aladar around his town, Lylat, and Elmer joined her. Aladar talked to Elmer, and got an odd question:
"Is Rose with you?" I admit I was trembling with fear, and I clutched the pillow a bit tighter. Aladar selected 'Who?'
"You know her! Is she with you?"
'No.'
"LIAR!" Even though there wasn't supposed to be any sound, Elmer's accusation blasted at full force, in human. Cookie began to speak, her voice coming through the speakers, the words on the screen matching her words:
"You were right, Elmer. I see the girl now! Poor thing, so afraid. Do you see me, Rose?" Cookie looked straight out of the screen, at me.
"Yes…" I managed.
"Are you scared?"
"Y-yes…"
"Good." The screen began flickering, Cookie getting closer every time it was lit.
"'An image of an Angel becomes an Angel itself.'" I whispered.
"Not the best time to go Doctor Who crazy!" Aladar warned. Cookie seemed to project into the room we were in now, edging toward me. Finally, one of her forepaws grabbed my arm. I screamed as it felt like my arm had been set on fire, while claws dug into the burning flesh. Aladar's dad came rushing in, and Cookie disappeared.
Aladar was scared, but I was so stunned I couldn't speak for a whole day. To this day I have a mark on my arm from where Cookie touched me, and some days the mark still feels like its burning. When it feels that way, I take it as a warning. Something bad happens when it burns.
I still have that copy of City Folk, and I hoped that this would be the last of my creepypasta like adventures in the realm of Animal Crossing.
