(Elizabeth's POV)
Now what have I done? In an effort to find out more about Ben, I may or may not have scared myself to death. It's the middle of the night and I'm on Entry #15 of Marble Hornets. I've also looked up on TribeTwelve. Why I torment myself, I have no idea.
I search up "The Observer" on my laptop. It's been two days sense the mess with Ben. As I scroll through picture after picture of mysterious figures, I feel a pull in my heart. Oh god, not rebound crushes!
I've started this with the two people who are actually semi-normal looking... That being the mysterious Observer and Toby. I can't bring myself to call him Ticci Toby, it doesn't feel right.
Quickly I look out my mostly closed window, it doesn't feel right. A shudder goes down my spine and I turn away. I instead look back at my laptop, which has opened a page on its own. It scares me for a second before I realize it must be Ben. The site is CleverBot.
"Hello." The text appears.
"*sigh* Hi?"
"Wow, not happy to see me?" He types.
"Remember: killer house?"
"That is true but they won't hurt you."
"Oh yea?"
"I'm confident in my friends."
"Take me back."
What am I doing?! I'm such an over-confident idiot. I sigh and shake my head to myself waiting for Ben's reply.
"Can do. Step back."
I lay my laptop on the bed beside me and the little elf crawls out of my screen. How does he do that? He lays on the bed beside me and looks at me with those bone chilling red orbs he calls eyes.
"Hey there." He whispers to me. I shudder again, why am I such an idiot?
"Hi?" I question.
"Everyone is probably out so how does tomorrow sound?" He asks like we're talking about going to the park or something.
"School." I reply, stating the obvious.
"You have history first right? You know that's complete bullshit, someone could forge you a doctors note.
"How do you know my schedule?" I ask, almost alarmed. I know that they have probably been watching me, but as always the most important things I forget.
"I always do extensive research on my victims." He shrugs.
I roll my eyes and sigh. "Could you kill me now?"
"Is that a challenge?" Ben gets up into my face while I shrink into my covers.
"Maybe it is. Maybe I don't think you have the balls-"
Ben growls at me and I freeze. Maybe I went to far.
"I'll get a note ready, and I'll pick you up at seven twenty. When you leave for school." He spits at me. I just smile, how can I be so dumb?
"I'll be waiting."
"Bye the way, I didn't know how much you were into naughty, naughty porn. I mean I knew you liked it but, geez how many times did you watch it yesterday? Te-"
"Leave." I growl at him.
He smirks. "Alright see you later." God what is his fascination with my porn consumption? It's not like I'm a slut. Hash tag still-a-virgin...
