Chapter 11 ~ Returning




(Y/n)'s Perspective
~ • ~

I walk along beside Slender, sighing.

"What?" He asked, probably because I've been sighing since we started walking.

"Why can't I stay outside?" I ask, not wanting to return.

"Because it's dangerous." He replied calmly.

"I'm not 5, I can take care of myself."

"You can't fend for yourself." I kind of went quiet at that.

"My point still stands." I recollect myself, changing the topic as well.

"And that point is?"

"I think you care about me. Maybe not for the sake of my well being, but at least your brother's."

"..."

"I was never trying to say you cared cared about me. That would be unrealistic."

"How so?"

"We basically just met. I'm a lower life form to you. We have no connection. Why would you care about me?"

"And what if I really did?"

"Then you have a poor way of showing it."

Offender laughed. I kind of forgot he was there. He's probably just listening. I could feel the tension in the air.

"How long have you been alive?" Maybe that was a rude question, but I had a right to be curious.

"A while." He must've decided it was his turn to ask questions, because he stopped me and asked one. "Why do you want to be alone?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see. Your best and only friend is my brother and you've just met your brother again, then you leave them both to be alone." He explained, I kind of just shrugged.

"I guess I'm just overwhelmed. I guess I'm happy, but I just feel sick. Maybe I'm just not used to it."

"You must've been happy before. I know you were abused but there was still a time you weren't."

"You know you're nice to talk to when you're not being an arrogant jerk." I didn't want to talk about it and hoped insulting him a little would piss him off and make him drop it. But it didn't work.

"(Y/n)."

"Ok. Ok..." I take a deep breath. "I didn't have much to be happy about. I was happy to have my brother. I was happy to have my mom when I did. I was happy when my father could still look me in the eyes and call me a princess and say I love you. But that quickly changed.

Grandma revealed the truth of my mother's kind and my father got mad. Called this S.C.P place. I had to watch as they shot her to 'put her to sleep'. There was a lot of blood... I was a mute kid, so the kids next door would call me weird. Beat me up because I didn't tell. But the nicer kids would go out in the field with me and we'd stuff flowers in our socks.

Whenever they showed their parents, they got congratulations and comfort. When I showed my father... well that was the first time he hit me. 'Dirty clothes. You're a lady, you can't get your clothes dirty those cost money.' I signed to him that I felt happy. He just laughed. Told me, 'of course you'd believe that, you're just a retarded little girl.'

He asked me why I couldn't be like other kids. I don't know what he means by that. Because no child is behaved to his desire. Then my step mother came around. She acted nice in the beginning and I was starting to speak around that time. First time I said hi to her, my voice was terrible, so she just looked at me with a nasty sneer and said 'awe. How pathetic. A disabled girl.'

'Speech impairment.' Kai always tried to defend me, but she'd kiss up to him. Because he was the boy who had nothing wrong with him... at least not until he went blind."

We had made it back to where I had snuck out. Slender was kind of thinking, maybe trying to think of something to say.

"How'd you get out?" Offender asked, looking up.

"I climbed." I replied, jumping up, grabbing a high branch and pulling myself up with ease. "Goodnight, I guess." I give a small smile before continuing to climb up.

They kind of just watched from below. The window was pretty high up, so they were waiting to catch me if I fell. Which was nice... I make it to the window, it was still open. The window was a good gap between the branch and itself.

"Can you get in?" Slender asked.

"Of course I can. I am the master of sneaking out." I replied, squinting my eyes at the window before climbing a little higher. I jump onto the windowsill before slipping back in the window.

I turned around and closed it, at least slightly before I was grabbed and I screamed. I felt blood, it was probably mine as I felt something sharp press against my throat. I felt two more presences enter the room. I could tell there were four people in the room with me.

"Jeff, let her go." Slender sighed tiredly, I was forced to turn, blade still to my throat.

"This whore was sleeping with Kai!" The guy referred to as Jeff examines me. "Can't really blame him though."

I cringe. Well. He didn't listen to Slender, so it was my turn to act. I lean my head forward slightly, feeling the cold blade. I grit my teeth and throw my head back, hitting him hard and directly on his head.

The knife went away and didn't cut me, thankfully. I quickly went over to Slender and Offender, hiding behind Offender, cause he was closer.

"What the hell, bitch?!" Jeff growled, gripping his head. I kind of grinned behind my scared frown. He looked up and saw I was behind Offender. "Oh did she take a rose?"

"No. And this is not anyone's victim. This is (Y/n). Kai's sister. Remember her from earlier?" Jeff shook his head, confused. "Jeff... just go back to the mansion." The guy shrugged and left. He took the front door apparently.

Offender picked me up, making me squeak and put me on the bed. I grip my arm then remove my hand and see blood. I squint my eyes at it. I knew he stabbed me.

"You should take off your shirt." Slender said, bandages and alcohol appearing out of no where.

"What?! No!" I blush, getting defensive.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Bro. She's a girl. And we're two guys. And you just asked her to strip." Offender chuckled.

"I didn't mean it like that!" He fumed at his brother. I kind of wanted to laugh, but that was just super embarrassing. "Just, don't make this weird, we just need to fix that real quick." He motioned to my wound. I squint my eyes.

"F-fine! But if you do anything I'm telling Splendor!" I claim, knowing they definitely didn't want to upset their brother.

"Yeah yeah! Just take it off already!" Offender said impatiently, I hesitated, but carefully and slowly removed my top. I could feel their non existent eyes burning into my skin, but, to make me feel more discomforted, they saw my stitches.

As Slender starting working on my arm and Offender was probably staring, he decided to ask the question he wanted to ask. "What's with the stitches?"

"I'll tell you later."

"We have time to spare."

"Just consider yourself lucky to see me topless." I said, completely embarrassed, but also finding it funny when he got all flustered as well.

"Yeah Slender. What is this? The first time seeing a girl topless, ya old virgin?" Offender laughed, nudging Slender. Making him glare while staring directly at him, seeming to communicate telepathically.

"Can you two not? I'm bleeding." I said with a pout in my voice. Slender got back to it and Offender was smirking like he won. Then he looked to me.

"Can I touch em?"

"No!"

Soon they left, and a piece of me felt... alone again. But I wasn't completely lonely. I had Kai. I snuggle back into bed with him and close my eyes, ready to accept the rest my body craved.

Goodnight.
