Start from the beginning
                                        

"Hey!" Nico yelled at Carrie.

Carrie walked over to Nico and lifted the sleeves of her jacket again. The stitches showed dark against the pale skin. Some had reopened and had dark streams of blood roll away. Carrie moved up to Nico's face and pointed to the girl's mouth. More stitches were done across her cheeks and on her lips. She finally put her hands up behind the horns to show Jack what she was talking about.

"Yes I'm a freak. Whatever. Can I just have some food please?" Nico said.

"Come in." Jack moved aside.

Nico walked past him and into the house, leaving the two behind to find the kitchen.

"What the hell?" Jack turned to Carrie and held a hand in Nico's direction.

"I thought she was lost but it turns out she's dangerous."

"So we have another deranged murderer in this house? There's enough of those to make a huge family!"

"It's not like she's staying or any-" she was interrupted when Toby rushed over.

"Yo! There's some chick in the kitchen and she's raiding our cupboards but that's not the point she has horns guys like pointed bone coming out of her head. It's the best!" he ran back towards the kitchen.

"Son of a. We better go see if they have destroyed anything or not."

Jack and Carrie walked to the kitchen and peeked in to see Toby and Nico talking over cereal. They didn't even look in their general direction.

"Dude I know right! Who knew that this stuff was bomb with peanut butter."

Nico turned to Jack and Carrie with a spoon full of peanut butter almost in her mouth.

She pointed at Toby, "He's eating the cereal I swear."

"I am not! You eat like I do, and you're eating pretty much the same thing I eat."

Carrie leaned over to Jack and began to whisper " A reason I'm glad I'm a cannibal."

"Hey. No whispering. Whispering is rude. If you have something to say, say it to the entire group." Nico pointed a peanut butter covered spoon at Carrie.

"Well, you don't live here so you aren't apart of this."

"Oh sweet Jesus." Jack muttered under his breath.

"She can be." Toby got a wicked gleam in his eye.

He practically jumped up and dragged Nico from her chair, spoon still in her mouth. Jack and Carrie followed behind them as they headed towards a room they dared not enter.

Toby happily knocked on the door and stood out there for a few seconds before busting the door open and heading in.

"Heya, Slendy."

Slenderman and Splendorman turned to look at the four teens.

"What is it Toby. Can't you see we're busy?"

"Yes, I'm very sorry but this is important I swear."

"If its about peanut butter or Nutella, it isn't important."

"It's not about those two delicious food items. Its about another helper."

The tall men both turned fully around to face them. Slenderman crossed his arms and Splendorman clasped his hands together. Toby moved a bit and showed Nico.

"This is Nico. She was found by Carrie in the trees by the house. She has x's sewn into her cheeks. She has cuts up and down her arms. She has cool neon colored hair. And most importantly , she had horns."

All of them stood in silence after Toby was done. Slenderman kept looking Nico up and down, slightly nodding every now and then. And then he spoke.

"She's a good example, but can she kill." his voice vibrated the floor, it was so deep.

"I've murdered over a hundred people over the past few years. I hated my family so I slit their throats. I hid for a few years, still killing. I dyed my hair to add character. I've always had the horns. The cuts are for how many people I've killed. They randomly appear and constantly open. Oh. And I got bored one day and sewed x's into my cheeks."

They stood and stared at Nico. Toby's jaw was open, wide. Nico shoved a hand into her pocket and fiddled with the spoon with her free hand.

"Well then. I guess you're in."

Nico and Toby jumped with joy and high five. They left the room talking like two highschool girls. Jack and Carrie stared at Slenderman. He shrugged.

"A bunch of our people are leaving g and doing their own thing. We need more so she was a good start. Now go and do your thing."

He waved them off and he and Splendorman got back to work. Jack and Carrie left the room in silence. Jack reached under his mask and rubbed his face.

"Great." he sighed "We basically have two Toby's now."

"Well, let's just ignore them for now."

"I'll sure as hell try."
