The reader is going to be the Impostor, but how does on become impostor, is it cabin fever? Going crazy in space? or is it an actual alien?

I came up with an idea on how crewmates become impostors and I can’t get it out of my head, so I had to write this. I tried my best, sorry its bad.

------------------------------------------------

Your name is (M/N), and you were once a crewmate. It was a lonely and busy day on the ship, Skeld, you shared with others; there was a sighting, you all discovered a planet. Polus, that's what you and your friends decided to call it, then, the excavation started.

You were alone, doing your tasks until you stumbled upon a box. 'Who put this here' you thought, taking a closer look; it was a toy box, maybe one of the Crewmates left this; you remember that one of your friends had brought a child with him. You shrugged and checked the box; yes, you've seen this box before and know how many toys are inside; it wouldn't hurt to check and make sure that everything is inside.

Opening the box, you at first didn't see anything, so you leaned in and took notice of this strange creature. What the f**k is that thing!? Is it some kind of alien, a parasite maybe? Whatever it is, you should report back about the thing immediately; a sound snapped you out of your thoughts. It was moving and trying to get out! So you did the next best thing...you slammed the chest closed.

Or, at least, you tried to, but it was stopped but a tentacle, you tried, you really did, but your strength wasn't enough as the chest flew open again and it started to wrangle its way out. So know you have the next best option...RUN!

That didn't work either because the weird thing had grabbed your ankle, making you try to shake it off; being distracted, you tripped and fell. It felt strange, slimy, and uncomfortable; the thing was inside your suit! You could feel it climbing, you did your best, but it proved futile; it was an alien on a mission, and whatever it wanted with you, it wasn't going to let you go that easily. It quickly made its way into your helmet and was keeping you from taking it off. Gripping to your face, the thing made its way to its next destination, your mouth.

You couldn't do anything as it was already choking you trying to make its way down your throat. Once that job was finished, and inside, it seems that your body had a protest with the intruder, you felt like something was wrong, your body felt like it's on fire. You wanted to scream, but you couldn't, so you stumbled back to base "(M/N)?" You know that voice, it was your friend (F/N) and his son (S/N) who both ran to you, taking notice of the stumbling. You reached forward but fell that way as well, darkness then enveloped you.

....

......

Opening your eyes, you are greeted with the makeshift room that you occupied. You felt sore like you ran a mile; what happened? You and the others found a planet, Polus, you guys called it. Landing on the new world, an exploration had started, you went off by yourself and saw a chest. It was...a toy chest, wasn't it? And inside...that, thing, the parasite.

Parasite!! It did something to you, but what? Now that you thought about, you felt unusual, different. Taking off the helmet, you looked into a mirror, and you gave a look of horror. Your skin was pale, a looks like your dying, pale. Your eyes weren't their usual (E/C) anymore; they were red and glowed somewhat; on top of that, you remembered having two eyes, not six! A gasp left your mouth gaping, but even that proved to be a mistake. Sharp teeth, and when you say sharp, I mean sharp, it seemed, to you, that your teeth could easily break skin and bone you could rip someone's throat out with those chompers. Your tongue was long and sharp, touching the tip of your tongue, yep that was blood on your finger; it was basically a needle.

What...What happened? What did that thing do to you? Why is this happening? Why- you hear the door open, making you whip your head to see (F/N) who's now staring at you with fear.

"W-Who are you!?"

"W-Wait (F/N) p-please it's me! (M/N)"

"...What...What happened to you!?"

You told him everything, from when you went off alone, to when you fainted in front of him.

"I-I don't know, its probably t-that parasite. I'm scared (F/N)...w-what's happening to me..."

You told him, gripping your helmet tightly, tears glistening in your eyes. You slowly fall to your knees, all of your thoughts racing through your mind.

'What is everyone going to think?'

'Am I going to die?'

'Will (S/N) be scared of me?'

'How dangerous am I?'

So caught up in your thoughts, you didn't hear the door close and lock. You flinched, feeling a hand on your back, you looked up at the worried face of your friend.

"(M/N) calm down, man, breath."

You did as (F/N) said, slowly calming down.

"Don't worry about the others, just keep the helmet on and it should be fine."

You look at your helmet, it has a blacked-out visor that makes it hard to look at your face, you put it back on and nod.

-Time Skip-

Things went swimmingly after that; no one suspected anything; you all carried on with tasks and made it back to the ship, going on your voyage back to earth with your findings.

It was quiet; you and (F/N) told (S/N) about what happened to you in secret, so the poor boy doesn't get scared of your changes; the child found you cool, actually, which made you smile. Everything was excellent until the alarm went off; running to the front, it wasn't hard to take notice of a missing crewmate.

"I have found (R/C) dead. We need to find the impostor."

Dead!? What? But who would do that? The once peaceful atmosphere has now gone sour. Everyone looked at everyone, and people are getting suspicious of one another, causing a lot of discord.

As time went by, more and more crewmates dropped. You and the remaining crewmates are now sitting in another meeting.

"I think it's (R/C)!"

"What? Why me!?"

"You were with (D/C/N) before they were found dead."

"Bullsh**!"

"SHUT UP!!!"

It was complete chaos; everyone was fighting and yelling; you looked to (F/N), who's trying to keep his son calm amongst the yelling and finger-pointing.

"GET (R/C) OFF THIS SHIP!"

"WHAT NO!"

You and (F/N) watched in horror as two crewmates grabbed (R/C) and dragged him out, throwing him out into the void of space. The anti has been upped, everyone was losing their minds.

-Time Skip-

Someone called an emergency meeting, and like everything else, it was chaos. (F/N) and (R/C2) were yelling at each other, you were holding (S/N), keeping him calm.

"LOOK AT US, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!? I CAN'T KEEP MY SON IN THESE CONDITIONS!"

"WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH (F/N) WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR BRAT."

Now that was going too, you tried to stop (F/N), but it was too late; the male had already jumped at (R/C2) with the intent of pain.

"GET HIM OFF ME AND GET HIM OFF MY SHIP!"

"HEY, LET ME GO!!"

"DADDY!"

"WHOA WHOA EVERYONE CALM DOWN!!"

"IMPOSTOR, GET THAT IMPOSTOR OUT OF HERE!!"

Everyone was yelling, at least there was another that was with me, but it seems that minds won't be changed.

"W-Wait, let me say something first...please."

(F/N) looks at his son.

"I guess I won't be there for you...I'm sorry, but be good too (M/N), okay? I love you, son, happy Birthday."

"*hic* daddy, don't go *hic*."

(F/N) smiles before getting tossed out, you stared as the floats by, all of your memories with (F/N) has flashed through your very being.

When you first met him through your parents, you both got very close as you both grew up. You remember when he got his first and only girlfriend, it was like they were made for each other; they were together for years until they got married, you were his best man and was right by his side. You were there for him when he and his wife had (S/N), you were given the honor of being the godfather.  You were there for him in his bad times, when his b**ch of a wife cheated on him. You helped him gain custody of his son and went with him on this space voyage program. Still, now you stand here in the present, people have died, you changed into this thing, and now you watched your friend die not only in front of you but in front of his own son.

You felt a hand on your shoulder, making you turn around (R/C3), the one who wanted to stop what happened just as much as yourself and the boy who's crying on your shoulder. You smiled at her.

"I'm sorry about what happened."

"Thanks for trying. Hey, can you help me with something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can you help me make a cake?"

You see, the female astronaut tilts her head but nods anyway."

-Time Skip-

You brought the cake to the cafeteria where the child was sitting. Said child was looking down at the table; you sat the cake down in front of him; you know that the female astronaut is behind you watching. You softly hum and sadly start to sing.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear (S/N)...Happy Birthday to you...I'm so sorry (S/N)...I'm sorry."

You can hear the gasp from the female who now took in the situation. You got up and sat back down beside the child, hugging him closely, not noticing the way the female has her hands clenched into fists with a newfound hatred for that man that threw out (F/N).

After a while, you went walking while (S/N) was sleeping. Shuffling, you heard shuffling, speeding up, you ran into what seemed to be a fight; the female astronaut and (R/C4) were fighting, the female having the knife was winning. She killed (R/C4) as (R/C2) walked in and yelled at her in surprise. An argument started, which escalated into another fight. The discussion was about (S/N) and (F/N) how (R/C1) threw out the father on his son's Birthday and for no reason as well.

You watch as the female crewmate was beaten down and is now being left there to die. Now it was you, (S/N), (R/C1), and (R/C5)

"That's enough, we are finding that brat and getting rid of him."

They are planning to kill (S/N), no, no, you will not let that happen; he's the only thing that can keep you sane on this rollercoaster of bullsh**.  That can't happen, it won't happen. Wrong, you feel wrong; a growl bubble up from your throat and you the middle of your suit ripped, a mouth that was just like your own opened up; stumbling into the room, everyone looked at you, their faces turned into horror.

You stumbled in the room and removed your helmet, the thought of (S/N) dying has pushed you over the edge.

"You're not touching a hair on his head." You growled lowly, with a glare. You attacked.

Rip and Tear, Rip and Tear, the screams are music to you, the blood sprayed the walls and floors as (R/C1), and (R/C5) dies. You calmed down and blinked, looking around, you started to shake.

"Hey, Hey...calm down."

It was the female astronaut.

"I need to tell you something...please take off your helmet."

You did what the dying woman wishes and take off your helmet. Looking at her, your eyes staring at her.

"There's an escape pod on this ship, use it, get back to earth, give that boy a life he deserves."

You nodded as she smiles and lays there. Leaving the room, you cleaned up to get the blood off, packed not only yours but (S/N) and (F/N)'s things; putting them in the pod, you picked up (S/N) and went inside the pod closing it. You sigh and sat at the chair and push the launch button, as you both are now heading for earth. You are going to raise (S/N) for (F/N) and for (R/C3), and no ones gonna stop you if anyone wants to get in the way...

Well, they are just going to have to pry the boy from your cold dead hands.
