The "Ticking" Creepymon

You quietly panicking as you walked through the forest on your own, hoping that you'd somehow make it back to Falcon's home safely. While the trees around you were twsited and tall, you kept hearing hissing and scratching sounds in the forest and every second you waited for something to run out and attack you. "I should've just stayed with Kagekao....." You thought, holding tightly onto your arm. You shook your head and annoyance and continued on. "No. This is what he gets for being an annoying little..."

You mumble to yourself while you continue to walk through the dark. You couldn't wait to find your way out of the forest so you could watch Falcon or one of your Creepymon chew out Kagekao. You wish you didn't listen to him and had forced him to stay inside like you orignally planned.

You were now walking at a decent pace when suddenly you jump when you hear the sound of maybe a tree branch getting snapped in half from behind you. You look around with your heart beating until your eyes catch the shadow of something that was a little way off, but close enough for you to see that something or someone was there.

"Maybe I should just run for it...." You think, feeling yourself beginning to shake as you stared at the shadow standing there. The shadowy figure seemed to twitch every now and then. After a long while of no movement besides the twitching, it slowly begins to move forwards in your direction. "Oh sh-t" You mumble, starting to back up slowly.

You see the glistening of something shiny on the shadow as it approaches you and that's when you decide it's time to run. You take a few steps back to make sure you get a head start, then as you were about to turn and dash for it, something shoots over your head and slices into a tree behind you. You quickly turn and see a bloody sharp object lodged into the tree.

You nearly lost your head.

At that very moment your legs took over and you began running as fast as you could through the forest, hoping you could somehow by luck end up at Falcon's house.

You heard heard footsteps chasing close behind you and you knew that the figure was focused on catching you and taking your life. You gain an adrenaline rush and started running at a speed you were sure you've never reached before.

However, despite your new found speed and your determination to escape, the running figure behind you kept pace and it seemed to be getting closer and faster.

"Gooooo AWAYYY!!!" You screech in a panic. You suddenly feel your foot get stuck in something and the next thing you know your thudding face down on the ground. You cry out in pain as you feel your ankle twisting and you spun around to see the figure throw itself over your head. You duck and you cower when it lands where you faced before and you look to it to see the figure standing over you.

Twitching violently. Holding one single hatchet steadily in it's grasp.

"Well....you got me..." You mutter quietly, reaching and holding tightly onto your ankle. "This is what I get for leaving Kagekao..."

You notice after you mentioned Kagekao's name, the figure slighly tilted it's head. You look up at the obvious Creepymon and study it quickly. Bloody dull gray hatchet in hand. He had two before but the last one missed your head and stuck a tree. They wore a gray hoodie with the hood covering their part of their head, and their hair was messy and brown. They seemed to be wearing yellow shades? no, they looked more like googles. They also wore a mask covering their mouth. Their hands were covered with dark gloves covered in mud. Besides their physicall features, you noticed the Creepymon kept twitching and cracking their head to the side uncontrollably. This is definelty one Creepymon you've never heard of in your life.

You notice the Creepymon was holding onto the hatchet like it was getting ready to chop you in half. So you squeezed your eyes shut and just waited for it all to end...

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting and nothing happened, you very slowly open one eye...

"HAHHH!!" The Creepymon yelled, suddenly raising the hatchet at you. "AHHHHHH!!!" You screamed at the top of your lungs, closing your eye again and hugging yourself tightly. Immedietly after, you hear crazed laughter and you slowly open your eyes again, confused.

The Creepymon was bent over, laughing and pointing at you. "Gahh, you should've s-seen the look your face! What a wimp!" The Creepymon snickered, heaving a sigh.

You look with wide eyes between the Creepymon and the hatchet and your mind is so scrambled that you're unable to process whats even going on.

The Creepymon stopped laughing and looked at you, seeing you were being unresponsive. "Uhhhh, you okay there? Did I scare you that bad?"

It began to walk towards where you were cowered and you quickly back away in a panic. The Creepymon chuckled again and came up to you, slamming it's foot down on your torso, keeping you pinned to the ground. "Calm down," It said. You held your breath and stopped moving. The Creepymon smiled beneath it's mask and tilted it's head at you. "What's your name?"

"Wh...What?"

"I saaaid, what's your name? Can you hear me down there or are you deaf?"

You blinked. "Uh yeah I can hear you but...why....?"

"Why what?"

"Aren't you supposed to...weren't you going to kill me just now???"

"Hmm...you know, I really was, but then I thought about it, you know? Decided not to in the end. Anyways, you forget about my question already?"

"Er...my name is {Y/N}."

"{Y/N} huh? More like {Y/N} the screaming whiney baby, heh heh."

Noting that this was the second time someone called you a whiney baby today, you become annoyed and force the Creepymon's foot off of you. You drag yourself up to your knees since that was the best you could do considering you'd twisted your leg while running.

"You know, I kind of expected you kill me just now....kinda nearly had a heart attack while waiting for you to chop my head off," You say, rubbing your leg. "Ah...well congrats on living!" The Creepymon replied, shrugging his shoulder. You sort of grin at this and take a deep sigh of relief.

You realize that you've been really lucky so far with all of these Creepymon you have encountered. None of them have actually tried or been able to kill or hurt you....Yet.

"Uh...thanks for letting me go, I guess," You nervously say. The Creepymon shrugged and you could tell that they were either smirking or smiling behind their mask. "Why're you out here in the dark anyways? Don't you civilians know this is the number one place you don't wander in at night? Unless, you're a stupid civilian."

"I'm not the one that's stupid!...Well maybe a little, but the only reason I'm even out here is because of my Creepymon Kagekao, he led me out here and got us both lost. I was stupid to have left him but still...." You sigh and stop rubbing your leg. You were kinda starting to miss Kage despite being upset with him.

"Kagekao, huh. Creepy Japanese trickster guy, right?"

"That's him."

"Huh. We used to me partn--I mean, we used to be friends, you know?"

"Seems Kagekao used to be friends with everyone."

The twitching boy Creepymon looked around and stretched with his hatchet behind his head. "Say where is he? You say you left him out here somewhere?"

"Yeah. Dumb move."

You then turn and look behind you as if Kagekao would somehow by coincidence appear from the bushes, but the bushes remained quiet. You frown a bit and look down. "He was probably my only way back out of this place..."

"Ohhh, you want a way out, do you? I can help ya, if ya want," The Creepymon exclaimed.

"Seriously? Thanks, that's awesome of you!"

"Except all good things come with a price right? You know that right?" He adds lightly.

You groan and throw your head back. "ughhhh of course. What do you need."

The Creepymon looked up as if thinking for a bit, then shrugged and replied, "Maybe you can pay me back once I get you out of here. Deal?"

"Deal," You say, nodding your head.

The Creepymon gave a thumbs up, then placed his single hatchet on a belt on his side. "I ought to get my other hatchet back after this. Anyway, all aboard the Toby Train."

He then suddnely stepped over to you and pulled you up off the ground. "On my back, I'll carry you since your legs bad."

He then turned around and you hesitantly pull yourself up on his back. "Thanks. Your names' Toby?"

"That's all there is to it."

"Thanks for everything, Toby."

"Don't mention it {Y/N} Screamy Whiney Baby."

"...."

The Creepymon, Toby carried you through the forest for a long time. You stayed lowered on his back, nervous that there might be other dangerous Creepymon lurking nearby.

You were still confused everytime Toby twitched around, and you wanted to ask him about it but you didn't want to come across as rude. You simply remained quiet and allowed him to carry you home.

Eventually, you see the dim flickering of a house light up ahead and you knew you've made it. Finally.

"Toby, we're here!" You excalimed, nearly choking him from excitement and relief. You then slide off of the Creepymon's back and stumble forwards through the last wave of bushes. Toby chuckles and walks up behind you, nudging your shoulder, "Careful not to make your injury worse now."

You turn to him and smile. "Thank you so much for helping me Toby. I owe you one."

"Yeah you do, actually."

You blink, then you think for a bit and come up with an idea. "Heyyyy, Toby. I know how I can pay you back. You can join my Creepymon team. Me and my other Creepos would be happy to have you." You were beginning to like this different Creepymon and thought he would be a good addition to your team.

"Eh....I'm not really into being caught and trained and all that stuff," Toby responded, scratching his head. "I mean, you're not that bad though. It might be fun. What other Creepymon you got with you? You really own Kagekao?"

You nod, "Yeah, I've got Kage, Jeff The Killer, Hoodie, Laugh--"

"Hoodie!?" Toby exclaimed, you could see his eyes widen behind his gogogles. "Kagekao might be a problem....but maybe Hoodie knows what he's doing..." He mumbled beneath his breath.

"Um...what?" You look at him with a confused expression. "You must know Kagekao pretty well?"

"Err...yeah, you could say that..."

Toby looked like he was thinking deeply now and you were really growing tired and missing the warm of Falcon's bed. You sigh and turn to head towards the house. "I'm gonna go Toby. I'm starting to fall asleep on my self and my leg really hurts. Hopefully we can run into each other again sometime..."

"Wait!" Toby exclaimed, hopping towards you and grabbing ahold of your shoulder. "{Y/n}! I'll be your Creepymon. You'd really let me join you?"

You look with a shocked expresison and then chuckle while nodding your head, "I would'nt have asked if I didn't really want you to."

Toby grins behind his mask and steps back away from you. "Go ahead and catch me then. Let's make it official."

You nod and reach for your side only to remember that all your Killerspheres were still left at Falcon's house. "Oh yeah. I don't have my catching devices with me. Follow me Toby, when we get to Falcon's house I can give you your own compy Killersphere."

He nodded and the two of you were just about to walk together to the house when suddenly something darted from out of no where right into you and you were roughly tossed aside onto the ground, grazing your whole right arm and knocking your already injured ankle on the hard ground.

"{Y/N}! Ackk--!" You heard Toby's voice and then you hear the sounds of Toby struggling with something; it sounded like you were both attacked by another Creepymon!

"H-Hang in there Toby, I'm coming..." You stammer through the pain, trying your best to get back up again. Even though you tried, the pain would not allow you to bring yourself back up to a standing position.

Helplessly, you listen to the sounds of fighting in the dark, and you jump when you suddenly hear the sounds of someone getting stabbed and someone scream out in pain, and then the sound of frantic running going in the opposite direction, running away from where you were.

"Toby!?" You shout, hoping that it wasn't him that was hurt. The bushes infront of you start shaking and you hold your breath to prepare for who was coming. But to your surprising relief--and anger--it was your very own black and white menace that appeared.

"{Y/N}-sama!" He yelled, running over to you and he threw himself on the ground beside you, grabbing ahold of your arm. "Kagekao.." You mumble. "I'm so sorry {Y/N}! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!" He blabbered. "Kagekao calm down! What...what happened to Toby??" You asked.

"T-Ticci-Toby? Don't worry {Y/N}-sama, I took care of him! He might've cut me bad with his hatchet but he took off running away after that! Hahah! I defeated him, aren't you proud??"

"......."

You pull yourself up with all your might and limp over to the area you heard the fight coming from before. You look around, and you don't see Toby there, or anywhere around for that matter.

"So. He ran off."

You sigh and shrug your shoulders, wishing you were able to bring him bring him back and show him your other Creepymon and have him on your team. Kagekao nervously came up behind you and lowered his head, "I'm sorry I made you upset..." He muttered. "Not only that but I got you lost and you almost got killed and you hurt your leg and....I'M SO TERRIBLE!!"

You look at him and shake your head, "Calm down Kage, you're not terrible. I forgive you, I know you didn't mean for this to happen," You say.

Kagekao's sad expression disappears and his mask goes back to normal. "Can we just go home now? I've been feeling wary ever since you ran off," He mumbled, beginning to pull you towards the house. You nod and follow him without hesitation at the same time limping in pain.

You were still slightly upset that Toby left. You were so close to having another member on your Creepymon team. It was almost hard to belive he spared you, but he seemed nice enough. Maybe you'd find him again once day and he'd stick with you guys. Who knows.

"Hey {Y/N}-sama, when we get home you promise you won't tell Falcon-sama?"

Kagekao's desprate question pulled you out of your thoughts. "Sure but what if he asks about my leg?"

"Just say you fell off the bed and twisted it."

"....Great excuse Kage...."

"Please!!"

"Fine!"

Kagekao gives a relieved sigh and begins to walk at a fast pace again. You both finally reach the house and you can't help but randomly start laughing, Kagekao glared at you and he too starts to laugh as well. "I can't believe all this happened and those guys reamined asleep and clueless!" You chuckle. "I know right!!! Kekekekeke!" Kagekao snickered, reaching and opening the door.

When the door opened, you're both faced with a very angry looking Falcon and the other Creepymon glaring at you two with their arms crossed.

"Oh," You both sigh.
