Chapter 13: Lonely

Y/N

After that scenario, I was afraid to show up; I listened to what Slenderman said. But now, I'm so lonely. I hid in my room for days, staring at the door or even looking outside the window. I quietly sobbed during the evening, until I feel sleepy. But I cannot feel sleepy, a lot of things go through my head.

Slenderman also forced Toby not to go do deeds, since he is severely wounded by my mother; so he is often inside the mansion. Silent as ever, not jolly like he used to be.. he also started ignoring me...

Ugh, this is torture to me. I went out of bed, dragging myself in front of the large wooden mirror; and quietly looked at my reflection. I removed the bandage from my cheek, there a scar was revealed. I sighed and covered my face with my hands, shaking my head in sadness.

I opened the door and stepped outside, it was dark in the hallway. It seemed like everyone died and I was the only one left, then I heard my stomach growl; well. I haven't been eating for weeks, so I was really thin and pale. Slenderman hasn't been checking on me recently, which is fine by me.

What is so special about me anyways? Do I hold something? I don't know. I'm still ignorant of who I am, or what I am.

I went downstairs to the kitchen where Missing and Toby were chatting, Missing looked at me and rolled her eyes; I shrugged my shoulders at her. "H-Hey (Y/N)." Toby said, then he stood up and grabbed food inside the fridge. "Y-You tic s-should tic he-heat i-it u-up.. Tic."

I set the food aside, and looked at the older male in the eye. "Toby, do you hate me?" I asked, his reaction was priceless. "N-No! Tic w-why tic s-should I-I? Tic."

"Well you should be, Tobes." Missing scoffed, glaring at me with her dark brown eyes. "She's insane! She probably asked The Red Woman to kill us both." I felt anger rushing inside of me, I was tempted to slap that bitch right now.

"N-No, I didn't ask mom to kill you both!" I exclaimed, clenching my fists. "Missing, urgh. Why are you always on my nerves?!" Missing smiled, and took a sip of her hot cocoa. "It's easy to guess, (Y/N)." She replied, putting both of her arms on the table; resting her head on it.

"I hate you."

"Why should you hate me? I didn't do anything wrong!"

"You'll know soon. You'll know..."

Missing stood up and went out of the kitchen, I m glad she's finally gone, but this was really awkward. Me & Toby were staring at each other, after another outburst.

"I-I'm tic s-sorry ab-about tic M-Missing's b-behavior tic." Toby apologized, you saw his sad expression. I left Toby and his coffee mug alone, but before I can make it out of the kitchen; I felt the ground rumble. It shook, I almost fell on the ground Toby caught me the mansion was shaking.

He dragged me outside, and we saw two huge red claws removing the roof of the Slender mansion; I gasped when I saw that. Those claws didn't belong to mom, I didn't know who it was.
Everyone rushed outside the house and ran intro different directions in the forest, Missing tugged on Toby's jacket and also dragged him inside the forest.

I was in utter shock, I didn't move; I was scared. I fainted, and the only thing I saw was a smile...

Y/N

I woke up, feeling the soft cushions... I sat up straight, seeing my surroundings it was LJ and Loli's tent... Except, no one was around... Well, that's what my mind tells me. "(Y/N)!" A sweet, cheerful voice called out my name. "You're finally awake." The small figure turned out to be Loli Poppins. "LJ carried you inside the tent, he saw you asleep on the ground. Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, what happened? Where is everybody?" I asked her, Loli sat on the chair next to my bed then gave me water; fresh from the lakes.

"Everyone is scattered in different parts of the forest. In groups or individuals, they're struggling to survive after someone attacked the mansion. They don't even know where Slenderman and his brothers are." Loli explained, I gave her back the cup. "It's better if you stay here (Y/N), we have plenty of supplies here."

"I'm good Loli, but no thanks. I don't need to worry you and LJ." I dragged myself out of bed, into the hallway, where I was met by LJ. "Oh miss (Y/N), are you okay?" He asked, I nodded my head slowly. "It's a disaster out there, everyone has gone insane. So it's better if you just stay here."

"No, I won't allow that LJ. I have to find her, she.."
"Her? Why should you visit her? No one will care about her anyway."

"But I do. I— have to go."
"(Y/N). I—" 

I ran out of the tent, it was dark. Just trees covering the whole forest, I ran straight ahead; not caring where I'm going. I stopped, when I heard crying. "I-Is an-anyone there?" I asked, my eyes widen in shock as I see thorns going in my way.

"What a pretty little girl, standing by herself."
"H-Hello?"

Out of the shadows, the thorns were controlling two people from the mansion; Sally and Clockwork, they were lifeless; they were limp. They were corpses, the thorns were piercing their skin.

"N-No this ca-can't be.." I muttered, I was paralyzed with fear. Just watching them turn into a rose bush.

(They're not dead, I'm just tryna release the two antagonists.)

I ran away, hoping to get help. I bumped into the proxies' hideout, Masky pointed his gun at me. "It's just (Y/N)." Hoodie told him, Masky put back his gun inside his pocket. "Sorry, I was a bit anxious ever since that disaster."

"I-I saw Sally, a-and Clockwork.. Killed by thorns!" I said, shaking in fear after what I've saw. "I think they're dead!"

"LJ might have given her the wrong meds." Missing scoffed, then she stood up and grabbed her butcher's knife. Walking towards me, as she point the knife at my throat. "You're just going to cause danger here, (Y/N). It's better if you leave, because I'll chop you into tiny pieces."

"(Y/N)'s been out for a very long time, we should let her stay here for awhile." Masky said, grabbing Missing away from me. Missing glared at Masky, as she whined tom him continuously.
"Don't listen to her, just join us (Y/N); you can help us sort this problem." Masky said, you nodded your head slowly.

"But.. Like I said awhile ago, Sally and Clocky were killed."
"Anyone could be killed in this type of situtation, so we better find the culprit whoever made this mess."
"But.. They turned into rosebushes, know any killer  that controls thorns?"

"Didn't you say they turned into rosebushes? We have to pinpoint where your mother is."
"D-Do you think it's The Red Woman? Masky, you gotta be kidding me!"
"I'm sorry.."

TIMESKIP

I joined them to find mom, I won't let her get hurt. We followed the same roses, but this time. They were black this time, Hoodie picked it up  and examined it closely. "It's fine. Let's move."
We followed it again, this time the place was broken down. The rock was disformed, rosebushes were withered and several human corpses were found lying around.

"... Where could she be?"

Then more thorns, jumped on us. We took a step back, but then it was chopped by several hands. "(Y/N)." The voice said, it repeated itself. I took a step back, as the four looked at me.
"What are you doing?! Kill those things!" I yelled, running faster.

Toby attempted to chop these thorns by using his hatchet, but it was no use. The rose thorn itself would grow another one, if he kept on doing the same attempt it would multiply itself and we would all be in trouble.

He stopped, taking a step back as something was ruffling inside the forest. A large, gray claw was headed towards the hatchet boy.

Those were the same hands I saw before, they were the same as The Red Woman's; while the thorns and the claw were distracted I made a move inside the sanctuary.
