Saved by a Killer (Ticci Toby romance)

Part 43

I grabbed the remote off my bed then shut the TV off. There was nothing on TV, just a bunch of lame advertising, and mindless reality shows. I roll my eyes then go downstairs. I'm hungry and I feel like something sweet. I search through the pantry for something sweet. A box of Oreo mint cookies catches my eye.

"Ooh, yum!" I say then I grab the box and race upstairs. I'll read a book or something. I hate being bored its something I am no good at. When I enter my room I am greeted with no other than Masky. I'm happy to see him, and let out a grin on my face.

"Hey, Masky!" I start towards him then wrap my small arms around him. I have to admit I missed Masky. I haven't seen him in weeks which really sucks, because he's pretty much the only friend that knows about my other side and life.

"Hey Kat." He seems surprised but hugs me back anyways. I pull out of his warm embrace. He still has his mask on. He should really take it off, I wish I could see his face.

"How are ya?" I ask sweetly.

"I'm good! Hey, do you mind if I take my mask off?"

"Go ahead." I say. He doesn't need my my permission yo take his mask off. Why would he ask me? Masky grabs the center of the mask then slips it off his face. "Why did you ask?"

"I don't know I'm weird." He chuckles. I smile and nod. Its true Masky is a strange one. "And I'm a little claustrophobic..." He says quietly like he's embarrassed.

"Then why do you wear a mask then?" I ask him with hands on my hips.

"I have to keep my identity hidden." He sighs.

"What about Clockwork? She doesn't wear a mask?" I pile him up with questions. He raises his hands up in a surrendering notion.

"Its required for Proxies." He explains to me.

"Oh." I nod my head. He looks at me with curious blue eyes.

"Didn't Slendy ask you to be a proxy?" He asks out of the blue. I give him a strange look. How does he know? Did Slendy tell him? Did Toby tell him?

"Uh, yeah."

"Are you gonna say yes?" He smiles at me with interest luring in his eyes. Yes? I can't kill people like Masky and Toby. Can I? No I can't do that I don't have that type of power.

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I'm not proxy material, Masky." I sigh. He looks disappointed.

"Come on, Kat. You can be a proxy. What are you so afraid of?"

His question piques something in my mind. Afraid of? Am I afraid of something? Is it going insane with killing others? Having my dark side unleash itself? Or is it never seeing my mom or friends again? So many possibilities, but so little time. I think I'm afraid of going insane and losing everyone I love. I feel as if...I drive people away from me.

"Sorry Kat, I didn't mean to upset you." He says guiltily.

"No you didn't do anything!"

"You sure?"

"Positive...so what have you been up to besides eating cheesecake?" I change the subject and the tense air dissapears.

"Kat we already talked about this... Cheesecake is life! I don't get how you don't like it." He crosses his arms.

"Sorry, but it doesn't appeal to me!" I laugh and he laughs too.

"You are crazy!"

"Are you really calling me crazy?!"

"Hehe, I guess I am." He chuckles. Then it goes real quiet. Masky leans in as if to kiss my lips, I stopped him by placing my hand on his chest.

"M-Masky?!" I almost yelled but I was scared. What is he trying to do? Kiss me! I love Toby, no one else.

"I-I'm sorry." He sirs back down and looks guilty. "I was just- I couldn't help it...I'm really sorry."

"Its okay, I just can't cheat on Toby, even if I wanted too...I still have feelings for him."

" I understand I-I should've known better." He sighs then stands up. "I should go."

"B-but-" I tired to stop him from leaving but he was already out the window. I sigh to myself feeling guilty. Ugh, why must I drive others away. Why did masky tried to kiss me? He's my friend, and I don't feel that way about him. He's my friend, almost like a brother I never thought of him in that way. Only when I thought he was cute. He's still cute but no I love Toby. I love Toby so much that it doesn't feel real. I would never cheat on him, hes too important.

I'm so upset now...

Maskys P.O.V

I walk through the cold forest. What's wrong with me? Why did I try to kiss Kat? Slendy told me not too...I should've listened to slendy. I slump my shoulders then walk slowly through the cold forest. I wish I had someone just like Toby. I envy him and Kats relationship. I just want someone to be with too And Kat was the only girl...

Slendy was right. He told me not to get too close or I'll get hurt. It worked. I'm not mad at Kat, but certainly not fond of Toby. What does she see in him and not me.

Whatever! I will...get over her. Right?

Awww poor Masky believe me that it really hurt me/author to do this chapter cuz I love Masky XD but let's see what happens next!
