[that picture tho lmfao I love it] ^
We continued walking for a while until we were at the bleachers and stage.
What are we doing here?
I thought before they led us behind the stage, there was a high security trapdoor which seemed almost impossible to get through.
Masky put in a passcode, put in all sorts of keys and keycards, said weird words and fiddled and around with weird mechanisms which only freaked out Jay even more. After a while of waiting, the trapdoor finally made a loud beep noise and the trapdoor swung open revealing a rusty ladder leading straight down. Masky motioned for us to enter,
let's just say.. getting Jay down a ladder that led straight down was.. difficult.
He refused to go down even when Hoodie and Toby stopped restraining him. We had to improvise and decided to threaten him,
"If you don't go down, we'll send you to the demon lord named Zalgo and let him torture you." Hoodie sighed in a lying way
"You'd never.." Jay grumbled
"Oh, but I would" Hoodie mischievously replied
"Fine.. I'll go down the shitty trapdoor.." Jay grumbled as he started going down the ladder followed by the rest of us.
We eventually made our way down and what I saw shocked me..
There was a long corridor with high security doors aligning both sides of the walls. As we walked, I read the doors..
Slenderman Mansion..
Splendorman Mansion..
Offenderman Mansion..
Trenderman Mansion..
Zalgo's Palace..
Dungeons..
Torture Room..
Proxy Locator Room..
Body Storage..
Spare Weapons/Masks..
Target Folders..
There were so many rooms with so many labels that I gave up on reading them all,
We continued walking until we reached the last door, it was tall, mysterious and had 'Slenderman's Office #2' engraved into a silver plaque.
"Why is it Slenderman's Office #2?" Harper thought out loud as he tilted his head
"Because his original office is back at the mansion." Toby shrugged
Masky knocked on the large door four times and then we heard the booming voice of Slender,
"Come in, children."
We walked inside and Jay went super stiff and pale as if he was scared for his life and I don't blame him, he's had some serious trauma involving Slender/The Operator.
Once Slender saw Jay, he looked almost as shocked as Masky did.
"Jay Merrick? Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Slender tilted his head in confusion as Jay trembled with fear
"Well yeah.. and it's entirely your fault." Jay grumbled once he regained his confidence
"My apologies, my only intentions were to turn Alex and Tim into my proxies but things got out of hand once they resisted and then you, Brian and Jessica managed to get dragged in then it led to chaos." Slender sighed as he rubbed his forehead trying to remember the hazy traumatic experiences that took place years ago
"Apparently he's been alive for four months now and he claims to say Alex is alive." Masky scratched the back of his head
"Well, Brian survived his death and now we've found out that Jay survived his, so I wouldn't be surprised if Alex managed to escape death's grasp aswell." Slender spoke as he shuffled the files of camp he was looking through and shoved them into a cabinet
Even tho Jay was wearing a mask, you could just tell he was beyond shocked, he never knew Slender could talk or even had feelings for that matter..
"Jay,-" Slender spoke but then got cut off by Jay
"-Skully.." Jay grumbled
"-..Skully, I'll give you two options," Slender continued as the others listened carefully "You can either be sent to the dungeons for the rest of your life and die for the second time," Once Slender said that, Tim, Brian and Jay all tensed up
"Or, you may become one of my proxies and stay alive. I'll allow Tim and Brian to explain everything about being a proxy and they can help you get settled in." Slender spoke. This option seemed to make Masky and Hoodie a lot happier.
However, this option seemed to make Jay distressed but he found it better then dying,
"..second option." Jay sighed
"That was expected, now may I see your arm?" Slender asked
Jay hesitantly rolled his sleeve up and reached out his arm. Slender got some black powder from a bottle and then just poured it on his arm. Jay looked down at it and before we knew it, the powder was gone and in it's place was a black circle with an 'X' going through it.
"Now, I'll keep an 'eye' (lmao) out for Alex and in the meantime I want you all to help Skully get used to this new lifestyle." Slender calmly spoke as he put the bottle away
Masky and Hoodie were just buzzing with happiness, they had their bestfriend back and best of yet, they didn't have to kill him!
We were all exiting his office when suddenly he spoke again,
"Oh, wait one more thing." He continued "Skully, there is one cabin that has an extra room for you to have but I forgot which number it was.. oh! It was Cabin #9, I'm not sure who has Cabin #9 but
you'll be having a room there for the remainder of summer. I'd also like to promote all of you to the Camp Creepypasta Investigators, also known as the CCI."
"CCI? Uh, we're very grateful but.. why?" Brian shrugged
"You managed to go on this adventure together and save Skully before somebody else found and killed him, which I'd say is an accomplishment." Slender plopped some more files into a desk drawer "You have all been excused."
We all left his office and eventually went out of the trapdoor and walked all the way back to the cabins.
We made it to Cabin #9 and then Masky realized who's cabin it was..
"Great.. good luck living with Toby." Masky sighed
"Hey! I heard you!" Toby spun around and crossed his arms.
"Shut up, you annoying asshole.." Masky grumbled as he walked with Hoodie and Jay somewhere else.
When Masky said that, Toby looked really sad and he glanced down at his sleeves for whatever reason.
"Well, I better get back to my cabin, Liu and Helen like to worry about me and Kyle a lot," Jayson said as he smiled at me and Harper then left to go to his cabin
"Yeah, I better get back too," Harper shrugged then left leaving me and Toby alone
I looked over at him and he seemed to be thinking about something.. something that was making him sad. I hate seeing Toby sad but considering I didn't know what was making him sad, I had to do the only thing I could do..
"Don't be sad, Toby." I hugged him
He laughed a little bit and then hugged me back
"I'm not sad now that you're talking to me!" He happily ruffled my hair "you're my little sunshine.."
I felt my face heat up when he said that,
What is this feeling?
I thought as we went inside the cabin,
"Oh hey, Y/N!" Credits waved
"Hey, can I.. talk to you about something in private?" I whispered to her, she looked confused but nodded her head anyways
We walked into the hallway where nobody was around,
"Okay so.. whenever I'm talking to Toby, I feel really happy and I'm not sure what I'm feeling.." I sighed in frustration
Credits face turned into a smirk and she laughed a little bit,
"I think you like himmm~!" Credits playfully nudged my shoulder
..I mean.. it makes sense. I've just never felt love before camp so I had no way of knowing I liked him.. well.. I guess Ticci Toby who I once thought was fictional, turned out to be the first person I've ever loved.
"..oh" I shuffled awkwardly where I was standing
"Don't worryyy, I'll keep your secret." Credits smiled reassuringly
Welp, that just happened.
I walked back into the lounge and and saw Jack sitting on the couch, eating a kidney, of course.
"You're finally free from the Health Department?" I said as I plopped down beside him
He ate the last bit of his kidney and readjusted his mask to cover his mouth
"Yeah, Nurse Ann and Dr. Smiley said I've been overworking so they talked to Slender and I have a week off." Jack sighed in a relieved tone
"Well that's good, hey have you seen Toby?" I asked
"Eh, I think he's having one of his 'episodes'.. I'd stay away from him if I were you." Jack shrugged
Episodes? What does he mean by episodes?
"..episodes?" I asked in confusion
"They're his mental breakdowns, he starts acting insanely bi-polar and he just cries and acts violent for no reason." Jack sighed as he started to have flashbacks of many of Toby's previous episodes.
"..okay, I'll keep my distance for awhile.." I lied
I can't just leave Toby alone in his sorrows, I need to talk to him.
I left the lounge and pretended to go in the direction of my room, but I switched directions once Jack wasn't looking and snuck off to Toby's room. Once I made it to the door, I didn't hear anything inside so I creaked the door open and scurried inside and quickly closed it again. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing.
"Who's.. Th.. There?" Toby warily asked
I couldn't see him, but atleast I knew he was in the room.
"Hey.. it's me, Y/N, I just came to see if you were alright." I sympathetically said
"You.. you should ..g..go, I don't want to.. hurt.. you." Toby hesitantly told me
"..Are you sure?" I asked, hoping he'd say no and let me stay
"Mhmm.. I promise I'll t..talk to you later.."
"Okay.. I'll see you later." I sighed as I turned around to leave when suddenly Toby came over from wherever he was and grabbed my arm,
"N..no, I ch.. changed my mind.. don't leave m.. me.." he said sounding so sad and depressed
~ Toby's POV ~
I hugged her, not wanting to let go.
She's one of the only reasons I want to live..
She seemed confused but hugged me back anyways, I really like her. Nobody can have her, I don't care if it's being obsessive, she will be mine. She's my little ray of sunshine. I just wish I could be more then a worthless reject of society..
"Why do.. you like being friends with me..? I'm so.. annoying.." I felt another tear roll down my cheek
"That's a lie, you aren't annoying." She reassuringly smiled, I could barely see it tho considering my eyes weren't completely adjusted to the dark room yet.
"Heh.. thanks, sunshine." I ruffled her hair happily
We hung out for awhile in my room until we heard the front door open,
"uhhmm.. hello? It's Skully.. I'm supposed to have a room here or something..?" Jay called out from the lounge
Me and Y/N went out from my room and into the lounge where we saw Skully sitting on the couch waiting.
"Oh hey, you're Toby right?" Jay asked me
"Yep, I'm Toby! I'll show you the spare room we have." I smiled and led him to the spare room
~ Time Skip ~
* Knock Knock! *
I put the waffle I was eating on my bedside table and went to see who was at the door. Yesterday, I showed Jay the spare room which didn't have much in it, but he said he liked it being bare so I guess he's our new roommate.
I opened the front door and saw Harper and Jayson.
"Hey, Toby." Harper waved
"Oh hi, whatcha guys doing here?" I asked suspiciously as I leaned against the doorframe
"We wanted to see if Y/N was busy so she could come train with us, tomorrow is Wednesday and you never know if you'll be chosen to fight." Jayson shrugged as he scratched his nose
Training would be useful but.. I'm not letting anybody hangout with Y/N unless I'm certain they have no interest in being more then friends. Y/N is mine.
"Heh, sorry, but um she's bus-" I got cut off when Y/N entered the room
"Hey guys, what's up?" She said as she was putting fresh nails into her bat
Shit..
"Wanna come train with us?" Harper asked happily
"Oh sure, let me go get my sweater." Y/N smiled and went to her room to grab her sweater
Fuckkk.. I wish people would stop trying to be so friendly to her- wAit- that sound really mean- I want her to have friends- but the more friends you get, the more opportunities there are for her to forget about me and get stolen away from me by somebody else..
I'll kill anybody who tries to take my sunshine away from me.
I just want her all to myself..
She's the first person that I've genuinely really liked in a long time..
She came back shortly after with her usual dark green sweater and her bat.
As the three of them were going out the door, Y/N looked back at me and gave me a smile that melted my heart.
"See you later," she happily said as she closed the door
She's my sunshine..
Only mine.
