The lights flashed on overhead, revealing the vast room full of... Interesting individuals, so you put it.
Towering above everything in the room was a tall, slender man. He wore a black suit, a white shirt, and a red tie. His arms hung at his side, long and thin. Several tentacles were protruding from his back, one holding a As your (e/c) eyes traveled from his clothes to his milky white face, you noticed an unusual feature. He had no face. Just a white head. No hair, no eyes, nothing. No facial features at all.
You kept your eyes trained on the man standing by the coffee table, not looking at any one else in the room, despite all the eyes focused on you.
"Child, do not be scared. No one here is going to hurt you. I've already told everyone that you were coming. Which, I'm glad to see, you did. (Y/n), I am Slenderman. You may call me Slender, or Slenderman."
The same booming voice cut through the air like a knife. At first, it seemed to you that the voice came from no where in particular. But you quickly determined that the voice belonged to none other than Slender, since he was the one standing up. And he was the only tall, slender man in the room.
"So I shouldn't call you Slendy like Jeff does, right?" You asked, glancing at Jeff, who gave you a death glare.
If Slender had a face, you would've seen an aggravated expression right now.
"That is correct, child. Do not call me Slendy. Jeff is... unpredictable and foolish." Slender's voice murmured.
"Hey!" Jeff protested.
"You know it's the truth, Jeffery. Anyways, (y/n), I'd like to introduce you to everyone who lives in this house. Which means the individuals staring at you right now, minus the ones that are out of the house or not in this room at the moment. Obviously, you've met Jeff. So he is not relevant right now. He will give you a tour of the place later. If you choose to stay, that is."
You nodded your head in understanding, a subtle smirk playing across your lips. Maybe Slender didn't know it yet, but you, yourself, were trouble, too. And, if you trusted the Creepypastas, you could cause just as much trouble as Jeff and several of the others.
You turned your attention back to Slender. A question rang through your mind. How did Slenderman know your name? You pushed the thought away, offering a small smile to everyone in the room.
"Sounds fine to me. I, uh, have one question before you do that, though." You said carefully.
"Yes, (y/n)?"
"Why is it that you wanted Jeff to bring me here?"
"So you could live here, duh. I already told you this, (y/n)." Jeff growled, rolling his eyes as he sat on the coffee table.
"No, I mean... Why me?"
"Because you kill." A new voice spoke to you from behind.
You turned, face to face with a boy who sounded like he was your age. He wore a feminine white mask, with small, black lips and thin, arched eyebrows hovering above the round eyes of the mask. He wore a yellow jacket and a pair of jeans. His messy, dark brown hair came out over part of the mask, covering it. He stood close to you- a little too close for comfort.
The boy backed away after noticing how close he was, standing up straight and looking at you.
You opened your mouth to speak, but ended up being cut off by Slender.
"My apologies for interrupting, child, but we must move forward with the introductions, so you can make your decision on whether or not you would like to join us here." Slender's voice boomed.
You shut your mouth, nodding to Slender, signaling for him to continue.
One by one, Slender introduced everyone in the room, starting with Masky, the boy who you were awkwardly close to just a few moments ago.
You learned quickly who everyone in the room was. After Masky came Hoodie, followed by BEN Drowned, Eyeless Jack, Sally, Laughing Jack, Ticci Toby, and of course, Jeff.
"As I said earlier, there are more. They just aren't here right now. Or they aren't in the room." Slender said.
You nodded slowly, looking around at everyone.
"So are you gonna stay? Please stay. I want someone to play with!" The one named Sally whined, as she walked over to you and tugged on your hand gently. "We can play dolls, and dress up, and have tea parties, and-"
"Sally, child, don't bug (y/n) here, it's all her choice." Slender's voice boomed.
"Sorry (y/n), I didn't mean to bug you..." Sally trailed off, looking down at the ground with her arms linked behind her back.
A gentle smile spread across your face, as you decided that Sally was a-okay in your book.
"Don't be sorry. Because," You paused, looking around at all the Creepypastas surrounding you.
All of them- save Jeff- looked at you with hopeful expressions. They all seemed to like you.
You then looked directly at Jeff.
Jeff's eyes glazed over with warning, his expression looking dangerous, compelling you to make the right decision.
You refocused your soft (e/c) eyes back on Sally.
"Because...?"
"Because I'm staying."
Sally hugged you tightly as the rest of the group smiled, some even cheering for you, the new addition to the house.
One one grumbled and cursed. That one, was Jeff.
Jeff sauntered over and pulled Sally away from you, not being too rough as he did it. He gripped your wrist tightly and aggressively pulled you out of the room, proceeding towards the front door.
"Jeff, you need to give (y/n) a tour of the place." Masky said, standing in the doorway.
"Give a tour my ass! I didn't even want this," Jeff motioned towards you.
"I can do it instead~" BEN smirked as he wrapped an arm around your waist.
"Ben, get the fuck away." Jeff growled. He shook his head irritably and began to open the door, his grip tightening on your wrist.
"Jeff, that hur-" You began.
"Shut. Up."
"Jeff, stop. (Y/n) is going to play dolls with me. Right?" Sally asked.
You grinned.
"Of course. But first, uh, could you show me around? We can play dolls right after, I promise."
Sally nodded and took your hand in hers.
You yanked your wrist out of Jeff's grip and walked with Sally, not looking back. You could feel the heat of Jeff's gaze on your back as you walked.
You followed Sally down the long corridor. She pointed out everyone's rooms, the doors marked with colors, finally showing you yours.
You walked into the room. It was mostly empty, full of space. There was a bed near the wide window across the room, a small closet to your right, and an old wooden desk sitting against the wall to your left.
"Slendy said you're going to have to go get your stuff." The raspy voice you knew all too well rang out from behind you. "Let's go. Now."
"But (y/n)! We were gonna play dolls..." Sally whined.
"I promise I'll play with you when I get back, kay? I pinky swear." You smiled, holding out your pinkie.
Sally named and locked her pinky with yours.
You ruffled her hair playfully and then turned around, your expression changing when your eyes made contact with Jeff's unhappy ones.
You silently left the room, walking in front of Jeff, thinking about what could happen on the trip back to your house.
It was still dark out, no one would come out into a forest at night if shouts were heard.
You sighed and walked out the front door, uncomfortable under Jeff's gaze.
"Jeff!" A male voice shouted.
You turned around just as Jeff did, your eyes falling on the figure running towards you two.
It was BEN. Your eyes studied him, taking in all his details. He was dressed like Link, from Legend of Zelda. He had blonde hair, elfish ears, and a nice green hat lying upon his head. His eyes snapped towards yours, locking eye contact.
You couldn't help but stare into his glowing red orbs, blood trickling down from the eyes.
"Slender said I had to come with you guys. Not that I don't want to." BEN chuckled.
Jeff grumbled. "He doesn't trust me?"
"Who would?"
"Shut up."
You rolled your eyes as they went back and forth at each other in a playful manner. You started walking away to go back to your house.
"(Y/n), wait up! You could get lost without a guide, you know." BEN said, slowing his pace once next to you.
Jeff came up on the other side of you, trying to scowl despite his permanent smile.
You shrugged.
"So you and Jeff seem... You guys know each other, don't ya?"
"Not at all. He's been trying to kill me for days. But he was too weak to actually do it."
"Please, I would've fucking killed you if it weren't for that Guardian you have around." Jeff growled.
"How do you know?" You asked.
"I would've, trust me. You're just some weak girl who can't protect herself on her own."
"Do you not realize that I am capable of killing someone?"
"Killing guilty people. Not innocents. Not me." Jeff snorted.
"Well do you want me to kill you?"
"I'd like to see you try."
BEN started laughing, cutting both of you off.
"What is so funny, Ben?" Jeff growled.
You smirked and started giggling, joining BEN in a fit of laughter.
Jeff sighed and started walking faster, ahead of you two.
You and BEN simply laughed and walked faster, finally reaching your house.
"You guys stay out here." You said, going into the house.
You ambled towards the stairs, hoping they wouldn't squeak once you stepped on them. Unfortunately, every step let out a sharp creak. You hurried up, standing at the top of the stairs, straining your eyes to listen for any sounds.
Nothing.
You walked towards your room, stopping when your eyes settled on the note taped on your door.
'(Y/n),
I went out on some business. My crew called me over for a sudden mission. I probably won't be back for a few days, so don't expect me. And don't worry, I will visit you as soon as I am done. We'll have a movie marathon that same night. If Jeff bugs you, run to my house and call the number that is in the first drawer of my nightstand. So anyways, stay safe, I'll see you soon.
-Austin'
"What's that?" Jeff's low voice cut through the silence.
"Doesn't matter." You took the note down and put it in your pocket, walking into the room. You grabbed a bag, shoving your clothes, mask, knives, and all of your other possessions inside it. You slung the bag across your back and turned around.
Jeff was still in the doorway.
"Move."
"Why do you want to stay with us, in the mansion?" Jeff abruptly asked, his wide orbs staring into your gorgeous (e/c) ones.
"Uh... Because everyone seems pretty cool. Everyone other than you, at least. You're kind of an asshole. Anyways, the house seems safe. And I'm tired of being on the run constantly. Why does it matter to you?"
"It doesn't."
"Why did you save me all those years ago? From the guys in the alley?" You asked.
Jeff simply grunted and turned around, shuffling back downstairs.
You stood in your spot for a few moments, shaking your head. You slowly crept down the stairs, joining Jeff and BEN in the kitchen.
"Ready to go back?" BEN asked you.
You nodded.
"Good. I have video games to get back to ASAP!" He said, pulling you outside.
Jeff followed, and the three of you began to make your journey back to the mansion.
???'s POV:
(Y/n) was walking into the forest with two of my enemies, Jeff and BEN.
Ugh. I hate Creepypastas. Other than the ones that work for me. I wouldn't call them part of the Creepypasta crew, though. They don't deserve that.
My minions are stronger now, anyways. I'll win this time. And I'll get (y/n), too. I'm closer than anyone knows.
All I can do is wait. I'll wait for a while. That sounds good. Let them have their fun. Let them get adjusted.
And then... Game on.
---------------------------------------------
Okay, so I know I was gonna for a long, long time. I was just going through some stuff and I needed time away from just about everything. But I'm back now, and writing once again. Yay! I'm gonna be writing for a bit, so several chapters will probably be put up soon, to make up for my lack of... Everything, I guess.
A few people have ignited my interest in this story once again, and now I'm stoked to continue it. So thank you, everyone who talked to me recently.
Now, everyone who messaged about OC's, I promise they will appear in the next chapter. Anyone who didn't message me, but has an OC they want me to use, feel free to tell me, I'll put them into the story.
And wow. So many views. Never thought that'd happen. Thanks, everyone who reads this. I appreciate it. <3
Stay rad n' keep being cool, and doin what ya like. Cya :8
