Y/N

While the hands and the thorns were distracted by the four proxies, I went inside the place where they came from; deeper into the woods. I looked back, seeing the four attack the hands and run in defeat towards me. "Why didn't you kill them?" I asked, still running and panting for air. "Those hands were your mother's, isn't it?" Missing replied, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, but..." I muttered, and continued running. "Oh Christ," Masky said. We all looked behind, and saw the thorns coming at us. We all sped up, running and using the energy that was left in us. "Look! There's the exit!" Hoodie yelled, pointing at the end of the sanctuary.

We all ran into it and the thorns couldn't get in, I sighed in relief and sat back down against the tree behind me. "Where are we?" Masky asked Hoodie, who seemed to be recognized with the surrondings. "I can't remember, but we're in the very center of the forest — when I say center, I mean it." He explained, touching the pine tree's leaves. "This is the unexplored part of the Slender forest, Slenderman never went here before. So I guess we're the first."

"What gives?!" Missing exclaimed in distraught, she looked like she was about to have a breakdown. "Why did she lead us here? What a bitch!" Masky hummed in deep thought, as Ticci Toby explored the forest. Then, Hoodie snapped his fingers. "Your mother must be here somewhere, if she isn't; who made the entrance to this place?"

"A-And, t-there's tic roses.." Toby added, as he gestured the bushes with red roses. "H-Hoodie i-is.. Tic r-right. Tic." I looked above, the heavens seemed to close; thick, gray clouds filled the sky. I widened my eyes in realization: it was about to rain! "We should find shelter, fast." I told them, standing up as I went ahead of them. "If you find anything suspicous, tell me." A raindrop fell on my (F/C) colored shirt, I looked again up in the sky and was met with tons of raindrops. "Shit! Run!" I yelled, running. The four ran as we found a large tree that looked different from the others, we all rested there. "This is one big tree, and it looks dead." Missing muttered, as she touched it's trunk. "It is dead!" She exclaimed, her eyes widened in surprise; we all looked at the tall tree and gazed upon it.

I examined it, above the branches grew outward; creating a seat in the middle of the tree. I gasped, mother must've been hiding here.. "Hey guys, look.." I said, gesturing at the pale, white tree and stared in awe. "Could it be — ."

"Yeah, your mother probably used this as a hideout after attacking you three." Masky theorizes, pondering. "Let's go, something tells me someone might be grabbed.." When Masky said that, a vine coils around Missing's ankle; the young girl lets out a gasp as she vainly tries chopping off the vine. Then, the vine pulled her back; making her trip on feet and fall on the grass. It pulled her back again, Missing sits up and tries untangling herself.

However, it pulled her back again; she lets out a painful loud moan. The vine grew small, sharp thorns and penetrated her skin deeply; releasing blood from her ankle. Ticci Toby went ahead and helped her, he chopped the vine and got ahold of Missing; the girl sat on the soil. Holding her wound in pain, I looked at her and then the vine. "Fuck.. It hurts." I heard her mutter, as she was holding onto Toby.

I felt jealousy pangs against me, I looked at Missing and Ticci Toby. They don't think of each other as friends... I heard someone whisper evilly into my ear, I looked around and see no one. And it didn't sound like Hoodie or Masky was doing that to me. Maybe... They're lovers. I clenched my fists, and then; when I realized I was acting like a child. I gasped and stopped, no that's a lie! I thought to myself, whoever was whispering to me... Please don't...

"I feel like someone was talking to me." Hoodie told us, as he shakes his head; probably trying to get rid of the voices in his head. "Same," Masky replied. "It was giving me bad vibes, like telling me negative things." They both looked at me, "what about you; (Y/N)?" Hoodie asks. "U-Uh, yes." I replied, nodding my head.

"That was weird, it was trying to trigger my emotions or something. We shouldn't listen to them." I explained, the two nodded their heads at me. "Alright."

I hope we can find her soon, I demand so many answers from her.. What we can do now, is to keep each other safe... I said to myself, I glared at Missing; we're in bad terms, I really hate her. But.. It'll be better off without her. The voice again says, now; I can imagine it smirking at me.

Yes, that might be true. I replied to it, who knows? I stormed out of the shade, and walked into the rain. The four chases after and yells at me.
"(Y/N)!"

UPDATE: 9-24-17
Made a redesign of Missing and her older brother, Detached Logan. I'll make the MC next, but I feel like I'll base her off the MC from Mystic Messenger.
