Machi The Proxy

1

Machi ran through the forest juping over branches she had short red hair that was the stereotypical 'Tomboy haircut', she had forest green eyes with a black tank top black ripped skinny jeans, and black boots with a red jacket tied around her waist."

Okay, you're done for today," Slender said as the forest turned into a room, it was just a simulation, she stopped running and sat down breathing heavily, Toby looked at her.

"Y-You alright?" He said stuttering a little bit while speaking, he did this due to his turrets syndrome, Machi didn't care that he had it at all, it didn't make him less than a friend, or was it just more than that to Machi? She truly wanted a relationship with Toby, but she knew that a lot of people in the mansion do including his girlfriend, Clockwork wanted him too. Clockwork always had a thing for Toby but always treated him horribly, Machi wanted to get him out of that and show him what a REAL girlfriend was like.

"Yes, I'm alright, just tired from running so much." She said wiping the sweat off her brow trying not to make eye contact because that always made her nervous.

"A-Alright just checking, w-would you like to go g-get water with me?" Toby asked holding his hand out to her, Machi smiled while looking up at him.

"Yeah, sure." She said getting up walking towards the kitchen with him, she desperately wanted to hold Toby's hand but Clockwork was standing out in the hallway waiting for him.

"Tobs!" Clocky said pushing Machi out of the way and jumping into his arms hugging him tightly."Clocky, h-hi." He said with a small smile hugging her back.

"We were g-going to go grab some water and m-maybe a snack, would you like to come with u-us?" Toby said as Clockwork looked at machi with the look of 'seriously? She's coming too?' Machi looked away not wanting to start anything with her, the two of them never got along, and as much as Machi wanted to slap Clocky right now but she couldn't do it in front of Toby.

"Alright!!" She said grabbing Toby's hand as they all walked to the kitchen, Machi pulled out her inhaler and started to use is, Machi had struggled with asthma since she was a baby, when she became a proxy Slender helped calm it down but it always came up now and then. As Machi put away her inhaler Clocky was clinging on to Toby as he opened the fridge trying to look for something.

"G-Guys I'll be right back, slender needs me I guess," Toby said to them, as he left Clocky turned to Machi as she pulled out her knife, Machi caught her arm.

"What the hell, Natalie??" Machi said, angering Clockwork more.

"What the hell?? WHAT THE HELL? You know exactly what's going on I know the way you look at Toby! He's MINE!" She said still trying to stab Machi, Clockwork managed to get out of her grasp stabbing her in the arm, Machi fell back gritting her fang-like teeth trying to look intimidating.

"Don't you dare try to start this shit with me again Clockwork! I did not look at him that way! I know he's taken so why would I flirt with him?" Machi said pulling out her knifes ready to throw them, suddenly they both were picked up by slenders tendrils, they teleported to his office while Toby stood there. Slender dropped them.

"I knew one of you would start something while Toby was gone." He said looking at Clockwork.

"Well, she tried to stab me!! I could barely getaway!" Clockwork lied, Slender could see right through her.

"Well, Natalie it seems to be that you stabbed one of my proxies in the arm. And you know that's against the rules." He said to her glaring at her with his nonexistent eyes. "And that is why Im assigning Machi and Toby on a mission for a week." Clockwork looked up at him with her eyes widened, she wanted to say something but didn't she looked away.

"So, Toby, Machi...You guys will be going to the city for a while and you will have to kill some people for me, I have a list here, your guy's deadline is a month." He said handing them a long list, this made Clockwork angrier, she couldn't believe that she wouldn't be able to see Toby for a month.

"Anyways you guys start now so you can leave, including clockwork." He said pointing towards the door, Toby and Machi walked out of the mansion with the list

.

"I-Im sorry, Machi," Toby said to her, Machi looked up at him he was about 3 inches taller than her and she was very short for being 17 years old, they often joked about her height.

"y-You know, I've been planning to b-break up with her, I-I just feel like she's too clingy and the way she treats y-you just because we're friends is n-not okay," he said, Machi was shocked they had been together for years and he wants to break up with her now?

"Oh, Im sorry.." Machi said looking to the side.
