"Ah, my dear (Y/N)... don't fret. After all, you should've expected this. You got your soul sold to a demon after all" said the hellish voice that's invading my dream. Although, it's more like voices. Six to be exact, all speaking at the same time.

"Leave me alone!" I scream, unable to do anything else, forced to watch a forgotten memory that should've stayed forgotten.

"Not until we're finished."

"What do you want?!"

"Ah, my dearie, you see, you are more than a mere experiment, you will be my little spy, but you won't be aware of it. You will forget all of this, but I'll be watching through your eyes. Quite literally."

Suddenly my dream of infinite darkness shifted, and a reddish glow illuminated a demon straight from hell... Seven mouths, which glowed red, pitch-black skin, and horns that tilted upwards, much like a bull's.

Great, I'm being haunted by a demon-cow.

"(Y/N)!"

"Wha- what?" I ask, searching for the voice that woke me.

"Gee, girly, you're one heavy-sleeper." said the one and only, Clockwork.

"What the fuck are you doing in my bedroom? Maker, what time is it, anyway?"

"You said you're gonna get me back, so here i am, tough girl."

"Ugh, look, I like sleeping. So you have two choices: fuck off and come back later, or face my morning breath, since I'm to lazy to claw you to death. Heh... That rhymed."

"No! Stand up and kick my ass like you were going to. Or are you Chicken?"

"I'm going back to sleep now."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll just kill you while you sleep?"

"Where's the fun in that?"

"...Pfft... whatever. Fine, I'll come back later..."

"Thank you."

I really hope that this won't become a routine thing, I thought as Clocky left.

  Lemme guess, you can't fall asleep again now, right?

Yip....

I stayed in bed until I was sure Clocky was gone, then got dressed and went downstairs for some breakfast. I was surprised that it was already about 10 in the morning.

"Gee... I'm one heavy sleeper..." I say to no one specifically.

In the kitchen, I turned on the radio and searched around in the fridge for what was left of my victim.

"Gods of Olympus, I need to go hunting already? Do I sleep-eat or something?" I say.

While I was debating the possibilities of me sleep-eating, a certain Cheshire-smiled killer decided to come back for a visit.

"Jeff, I know you're there." I say, not even looking up.

"Crap, you're good. So, sweetheart, you ready to go?" he said, walking to the kitchen

"Go where?" I ask, looking at him this time.

"Whoa.. What's with your eyes?" he says, seeming surprised.

My hands fly up to my face, since I failed to notice before, that I forgot my mask.

"Fuck!" I yell and race upstairs to get my mask.

When I came back downstairs, Jeff was smiling deviously.

"What?" I say

"I think it's time you meet the rest of the family."

"You're not serious." I say, mouth hanging open.

"Yeah, I know a guy who would be very interested in meeting you."

"You're taking me to Slender Mansion because you want to play Match Maker?" I ask, raising an eyebrow (not that he saw it).

"Actually, Slender asked me to come and get you. The Proxies are out on a mission, so he asked me."

I stood there, thinking for a while, then finally said: "Fine, let's go."

So, Jeff and I are now walking silently in the forest. After a while of silence, I absentmindedly started singing Medicine by Daughter.

"Pick it, pick it all up.

And start again.

You've got a second chance,

you could go home.

Escape it all.

It's just irrelevant.

It's just medicine.

It's just medicine.

You could still be,

what you want to,

What you said you were,

when I met you.

You've got a warm heart,

you've got a beautiful brain.

But it's disintegrating,

from all the medicine.

from all the medicine.

from all the medicine.

Medicine.

You could still be,

what you want to be,

What you said you were,

when you met me.

You could still be,

what you want to.

What you said you were,

when I met you.

when you met me.

when I met you."

I didn't even notice Jeff was staring at me, not like he had a choice, since he doesn't have eyelids.

"You're a great singer, y'know that?" he said after a while.

"Oh... hehe thanks?" I say, blushing slightly

"My pleasure. Anyways, we're here"

~♥EJ's PoV♥~

"Hey, anyone know where's Jeff?" LJ asked, walking into the room. I lifted my head up from the book I was reading and looked at the other Jack.

"Hmm?" I ask.

"He's out getting the chick Clocky hates so much" said BEN, who was playing Call of Duty.

At the moment BEN, LJ, Clockwork, Jane and I were sitting in the living room. The girls chatting with each other on the couch about Zalgo knows What, LJ was leaning in the doorway of the kitchen, looking at us, and I was curled up in an armchair, reading a book.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask, why do you hate her so much, Clock?" LJ asks

"Because she just annoys me okay? She thinks she can beat me. She's weird, too. Pale, and pointy teeth. She wears a mask though." she said, and started babbling on and on about it. I started tuning them out again and read my book.

"I'm HOME!" Yelled the permanently-smiling killer, not long after.

"Speak of the devil" I muttered and looked up at Jeff.

Next to Jeff, was a girl. She was short, about 5'3, with (h/l) (h/c) locks and had a (f/c) masquerade mask on. She wore a loose cotton T-shirt and a pair of jeans, with (f/c) converse. She was pretty, even if I could only see half her face.

"Hey, EJ, get your ass over here, this chick eats people too!" he said. I stretched and stood up, walking over to the two.

"Hi. My name's Eyeless Jack."

"Huh, he's real..." she muttered, "My name is... uh... I don't exactly have a name yet. Just call me (y/n) for now" she said, holding out her hand, which was pale and slightly grey, like a corpse. Then Laughing Jack bounded over to us.

"The name's Laughing Jack! Hehe, want some candy?"

(y/n) stiffened, and seemed to turn slightly paler. Was she... afraid?

"Jeff... you see the clown too, right?" she whispered

Jeff laughed. "We all see him sweetheart"

LJ held his hand out for her to shake and she squeaked and hid behind Jeff. She was actually afraid of LJ.

"KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!!" she yelled, clutching Jeff's hoody tightly, her claws digging into him.

LJ pouted. "Clocky, you sure she's a killer?" he asked.

"I hate fucking clowns." she said, sounding oddly... demonic.

"Okay, I believe you now." he said, backing away from the demon-girl.

This girl was odd... she reminded me a lot of myself, except for the fear of clowns thing, of course.

I had an odd feeling in my chest. It almost felt like my heart was beating again.

What is it with this girl?

I tilted my head to the side, curiously examining her.

"EJ, why don't you show our little friend here around?" Jeff asked, smiling deviously. What was he planning?

"O-okay." I say. I lightly took hold of her left arm, trying to get her to release Jeff.

(Y/n) was glaring at LJ, or at least her body language suggested she was.

I led her upstairs, showing her where the bedrooms were.

"I heard a lot about you" we both said simultaneously. We both laughed and I blushed a bit under my mask.

What's going on with me?

"So, what's your story exactly? No one told me" I say.

She looked down and sighed.

"I don't really know. A few days ago, I woke up in a lab, surrounded by the corpses of scientists, who I probably killed. I had no memory whatsoever but remembered my name when I found my confidential file... but that's not all.

"When I found my old home, my mother was still there, so I questioned her. She obviously never loved me, but I didn't kill her yet. I wanted answers. The next day, Clockwork showed up and killed her, which pissed me off a lot. She took away my source of information, and I really wanted to kill her myself. 

I... I also had this dream... or more like a memory, I guess, about a demon. He... he's the one responsible for what happened to me, I just know it." She says.

I stayed silent for a while.

"Sounds like we're both monsters because of some demon, eh?" I say. She smiled.

"...yeah..."

~♥ Your PoV♥~

I just told Eyeless Jack my backstory. I don't know why I did, I just... felt like I could trust him. Something about him was weird... he made me feel weird... a forgotten emotion. My chest felt odd, too. Like my heart is trying to escape and tell me what is wrong with me. Good luck heart, you're dead.

Something about EJ was so... mesmerizing. I felt like I was under a trance.

Everything about him draws me closer.

His Kind way of speaking

 His calm aura

 The fact that we are so much alike

 Even his smell...

It's all so...

Hypnotic.

I smiled to myself, remembering the song by Zella Day:

Magnetic everything about you

You really got me now

You do it to me so well

Hypnotic takin' over me

Make me feel like someone else

You got me talkin' in my sleep

I don't wanna come back down

I don't wanna touch the ground

Pacific ocean dug so deep

Hypnotic takin' over me

I even had the sudden urge to sing again, but I didn't.

What is this strange emotion?
