Ch. 6

"Mmmn..." You groaned and groggily opened your (Eye Color) eyes.

For a minute or two, you stared at the rotating ceiling dizzily, waiting for you eyes to refocus and your brain to start working.

'Where...am I...?' You asked yourself before closing your eyes again...

You waited...and waited... until everything came back to you, making you sit up as if you had been splashed with cold water.

"The humans!" You yelped and clutched your still aching head.

"They... They- The children! R-"

Despite your head hurting and your still hazy vision, you still tried to stand up but were stopped when a hand was placed on your shoulder, making you tense up to whoever it was.

'Hush now, (Your Name). Please do not force yourself.' You heard a familiar voice say in your head. 'Your family is safe.'

You then felt someone gently pushing you back to the comforting, warm bed.

"S...Slender...?" You croaked out, slowly looking up at the blurry figure in front of you. "It's you, isn't it?" You saw the figure nod and you slowly relaxed.

Your vision soon refocused and you looked at Slender who was, by the way, silently sitting beside the bed you were in.

'Is there something wrong, (Your Name)?' He asked, noticing that you were staring at him.

"Oh...uh..." You hesitated and looked around the room and realized that the others weren't with you. You grew uneasy and anxious. Where were they?

"Slender, W...Where's the children? And... and Ria...and Jake... and Fei! Are they hurt? Please tell me where they are!" You practically barraged Slender with questions and stubbornly sat up again.

'They are safe, (Your Name). Please relax.' Slender said and pushed you back again to the warm pillows.

"The crocodile half breed and the fox half breed are with the female fire elemental, the tiger half breed and the dog half breed are with the male water elemental and the ghostly beings are with the Dhampir...They are all okay , I promise you."You sighed in relief and relaxed on the bed you were in as he said those.

"They seem to be extremely exhausted. I do not want to wake them up nor do I want to lead you to where they are. You are still injured. And I do not want to risk your wound opening if I teleported you to them."

Injured? Wound?
Oh yeah... You remembered...

One of the scientist that ambushed you earlier kinda...well... stabbed you... on the stomach... which resulted in Slender giving them a horrible death after he read the scientist's mind...but you didn't know that, did you?

Slender stood up which made you snap out of your thoughts.

"That reminds me, (Your Name). I need to change your bandages after you have a decent meal. You were unconscious for almost a day now and worried your family so much." Slender said and teleported away before he came back with a tray full of soft and liquid food. (You got stabbed at the stomach, remember?)

===Timeskip===

After Slender changed your bandage he left you alone in the room you were in, saying that you needed to rest.

You stared at the ceiling and closed your eyes.
"I thought that it was all over..." You whispered to yourself. "I thought everyone would all be free..."

You said and ran a hand through your hair before you slipped to unconsciousness.

===Your La La Land===

"Mommy? D-Daddy? What's w-wrong?" You stuttered as a look of fear and distress washed over your parents face as they peeked out the small window.

Noticing you, they forced a smile on their faces but you knew there was something troubling them.
"No! Nothing's wrong my baby! Why are you out of your bed, anyway?" Your mother said as cheerfully as she could before picking you up.

"But... But..." You said.
"
Hush now, little tyke! How 'bout we play a game?" Your dad said while forcing out a hearty laugh.

You lit up and nodded. You loved games!

Your dad smiled and kissed your head before his face went all serious and he nodded at your mother.

"(Mother Name), you know what to do... Please... be safe..." Your dad said before kissing your mother who looked like she was in the verge of tears.

"Mommy? Daddy?" You said, confused, switching from your mother to your father.

Your mother went to the library with you on her arms.

You didn't understand what she was doing when she pulled some books at the shelf but not read them; instead she seemed to arrange it.

You let out a squeak of surprise as you saw a door appear near the book shelf and you looked confusedly at your mother as the two of you went inside.

"Mommy? Are we playin' hide n' seek?"You asked and tilted your head, confusedly.
Your mother smiled at you.

"Yes, baby. We are..." She led you into a long hallway, giving turns occasionally. You yawned sleepily.

All the turning made you sleepy so you placed your head on your mother's shoulder and drowsed off.

===A lil' Timeskip===

You opened your eyes and yawned, rubbing an eye sleepily before you noticed your mother in front of you, and tears were streaming down her face.

"Mommy? Why're(<-This is not a real word) you crying?" She looked surprised before wiping away her tears and smiling.

"I'm not crying, baby. I just yawned because isn't it boring? Your daddy still hasn't found us in this hide-and-seek game! Why don't we play another game while daddy's still busy?" Your mother said and you nodded slowly.

She smiled and clapped her hands.

"Good! Now the game we're going to play is a pretending game, okay?" You nodded. What kind of game was this, you wondered.

Your mother smiled.

"Okay then! I'm going to pretend that I'm a bad villain! And you, my baby, are going to pretend that you're an amnesiac child who's my victim!" She said. "You know what amnesiac and victim are, right baby?"

You nodded with a smile, proud that you understood the words. Your mother smiled and ruffled your hair.

"Good! Now let's get your clothes dirty since you're my victim!"

Your mother said and you nodded, taking of your shirt before you wiped it on the dirty floor of the room you were in.

After you decided it was dirty enough, you handed it to your mother who ripped it a little before putting red smudges around where the rips was.

"Okay..." Your mother said to herself before grabbing a handful of mud on the floor and wiped little smudges of it on your face, arms, legs and body.
S
he then ripped your shorts a little before placing red smudges around the rip.

"That about does it!" She said but froze suddenly.
"
Tsk...They're coming..." She said and picked you up and ran to room.

The room you were in had a small cell in it.

She hurriedly opened it and gently pushed you inside before she locked it.

You looked at her confused.

"M-Mommy? W-What?" She placed a finger on your lip.

"Shush, baby. Listen to me and listen well, okay?" Your mother said in a hushed tone and you nodded.

"Do not, I repeat, do not tell anybody of our game, all right? Don't ever tell it to the men in white, okay? If they do then...tsk..." You nodded as your mother started crying.

"Just know that your father and I love you okay? Now, what I'm about to say when I get out of this room is going to be probably mean but don't believe any of those words. Remember, I am going to pretend that I'm a villain and you're going to pretend that you're my victim with amnesia. Don't ever tell the men in white or else they'll hurt you, okay?"

You nodded once more before your mother kissed your forehead and stood up.

She started walking towards the door and she closed it.

You couldn't hear anything after a minute or two but then you heard footsteps.

Lots and lots of footsteps.

The next thing you knew, you heard your mother shrieking something.

"YOU'LL NEVER GET THE BRAT! YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME?! I'LL SACRIFICE YOU ALL LIKE I DID TO THE BRAT'S PARENTS!"

You heard your mother scream and you placed a hand on your chest.

'N-no...mother said that I shouldn't believe any of what she says now...' You thought

"Brat? Hold up! Hold up! No one shoot! She has a child captive! She has a child captive! Bring out the gem!" You heard an unfamiliar voice called out.

...The next thing you heard was your mother's anguish screams...
===End of La La Land===
"(Your Name)! Wake up!" Your eyes shot wide open.
