Chapter Text
"Proceed"
Noelle looks at Kris in confusion, along with Berdly. Kris's eyes were glowing red and his body is moving, against his will.
"Snowgrave"
Noelle shakes her head 'I-I don't know that spell, Kris." She looks slightly scared at Kris's sudden change in behaviour.
Berdly stammers "N-Noelle? What is he talking about? What's going on?." Despite Berdly's confusion and Noelle's refusals, Kris repeats again.
"Snowgrave. Proceed."
Noelle cries this time "Kris! I don't know what your talking about. I don't know that spell!." Berdly grows slightly angry "What are you doing Kris? Because if your hurting Noelle, you'll have to hurt me first!."
Berdly jumps into a fighting stance with his weapon, and Kris and Noelle do the same. Noelle shouts "Guys! We don't have to fight- why can't anyone just listen to me?!?." Kris tilts his head slightly, in a creepy kind of way and says it again.
"Snowgrave."
Noelle refused again.
"Snowgrave."
She yells to Kris that she doesn't know that spell. Yet, it didn't seem like he heard.
"Snowgrave."
Something in Noelle snaps, and she screams "Fine! You wanna see what happens when I perform a spell I don't know?!?."
Noelle's eyes start to glow white and she slowly floats in the air, in front of Berdly.
Berdly looks at his friend in fear "N-n-noelle? What are you doing?."
Noelle ignores Berdly, and Kris finally smirks, saying the word she once hated.
"Proceed."
With that, millions of snowflakes appeared from nowhere and started raining down on Berdly. Everything was a blurry mess, but Noelle and Kris don't move once.
Minutes seemed to feel like hours, and it was finally over. Noelle dropped to the ground, her eyes covered with a dark shadow and didn't do anything for a while. Kris regains control once again, although far to late, as Noelle whispers.
"W-what happened? I don't...I don't feel so good." Her body is shaky and her voice is almost, dead. "I think I'm gonna go home."
The deer leaves Kris alone, to stare at what he had done, or rather the player had done.
Anger, shock, fear, confusion, sadness emotions started welling up inside his chest. What had he done? He just...he just KILLED Noelle's best friend, and it's all his fault, and that stupid player that keeps controlling him.
Kris stares at the giant ice figure, and flashbacks start appearing in his mind, how Noelle had killed Berdly because of him, the look on Berdly's face just before he was killed and Noelle's angry refusals after each time he insisted she used the spell.
It's all his fault, what would he tell everyone at home, Susie, Lancer and Ralsei, that he just let Berdly die because he lost control of his body?!? Kris started walking back, to the area that Susie and Ralsei were in.
Once he was there, the two greeted him cheerfully. Susie playfully punched his shoulder, causing him to flinch, but luckily unnoticed by Susie. "Where were you dude? We were looking everywhere for you."
Ralsei nodded "Even Susie was worried, Kris!." Susie blushed a dark pink and yelled back "No I wasn't- well maybe a little but-."
She stopped when she actually looked at Kris. He was pale, he looked sick and his breaths were heavy and shaky.
"Kris- are...are you alright?."
Ralsei looked concerned and had the feeling something was really wrong.
"You look....sick."
