Rose looked at her bloody hands...The voices in her head shouting at her as she walked through the woods,her backpack and scythe on back as she stuffed her hands back in her hoodie pockets to keep warm,keeping her bandana based mask over her nose and hood over her head.Even with this she was freezing,the only real comfort being the blood that she could feel clotting on her fingers and some on her cheeks,she felt soar,in all honesty,being soar is the closest thing to pain she felt anymore.She walking deeper into the woods,before looked to a tree and saw two pieces of paper hung on it's trunk,one was a wanted picture of her,the dead rose,the one who kills and leaves a rose by her victims dead body,over the recent couple of months  after killing her uncle and breaking free,she had spent night after night after night taking the lives of people who she deemed better dead than alive.She stared at the picture of her for a while before grabbing it and ripping it off of the tree with a swift movement of her hand,then using some dark magic and causing it to burst into flames at her hand's touch till it was nothing more than ashes that blew into the winter wind.She looked back at the tree and saw the second piece of paper,it was some sort of drawling that looked more like scribbles than anything with the word "Follows" scribbled onto it.She thought nothing of this and kept walking,still shaking from the cold and harsh winds that blew on her.She kept walking and looking around,keeping aware of her surroundings,ready to fight or kill at any given moment.Tiredness finally caught up with her causing her to stop in front of a tree that was much larger than the others,she began to climb up the tree till she found a branch that could support her weight,she got out some rope from her bag and tied her ankle to the branch so she would not fall in her sleep,just as she tied the final knot she heard a loud scream coming,the sound emanating not very far from where she was,on instinct she grabbed her scythe and untied her ankle,she jumped down from the branch,leaving her pack hanging on the branch and having her chained daggers attached to her belt.She teleported closer to where the screams were coming from,she hid behind a tree as her eyes widened as she saw the scene before her,a boy who looked about her age had a girl pinned to a tree with a hatchet in her side,said boy is covered in blood as he used the hatchets to cut the screaming girl open till she finally bleed's to death.the boy removed his bloody hatchets from her and released a soft chuckle.She noticed the boy would twitch,each time a loud tick being heard,the boy turned and she could see he had orange tinted steam punk like goggles along with some sort of mouth guard,his skin was so pale it was almost grey...like her's.She soon became intrigued by the boy,so much she actually revealed herself from behind the tree,the boy looked at her and began to tick even more."W-Who are you?..." he stuttered,making rose chuckle as her blue eyes flashed "I could ask you the same thing..." he seemed to be looking her over,as if he had seen her someplace before "W-Wait a-a-aren't *tic* y-you that d-dead *tic* *tic* Rose girl?" Rose's reputation as a murder had seemed to be becoming more and more known.She looked the boy dead in the eyes through his goggles "Who's asking?" She tilts her head as he boy chuckled and stepped closer to her,ticking and twitching more with every step "The names *tic* T-Toby...*tic* *tic* a-a-and-" before he could finish his sentence a gunshot was heard before rose felt something was shot at her shoulder,a grown and rather large man was holding a shotgun.Rose's shoulder was bleeding and it seemed he had managed to shoot Toby in his leg,seeing as how he was now on the floor,barely faxed by the shot but still physically hurt.Rose was debating weather or not she should just teleport away and leave this strange boy to die,it's what she usually would do but...There was something about him that made rose feel like if she left him here to die,she would be giving away her one chance to know someone seemingly similar to herself,someone who can't feel pain,and has obviously been hurt before in their past,driving them to become what they,or he,is today,a serial killer.Rose stepped over the boys body and stared the man with the gun dead in the eyes before raising their good arm,the one without a bullet or two in it,and used their powers to take the gun out of his hand and closing their hand into a tight fist as the magic broke the gun in half.She then looked at the now shaking man before grabbing him with their blue tinted magic and lifting him up off his feet and getting out her scythe,stepping closer she used the weapon to dismember his arms and legs,one by one,letting his blood cover her and drip into the snow beneath them,his screams echoing through the trees before rose finally took one last good swing and cutting the man straight through the middle,trapping his soul in her blood covered scythe as she let his body drop to the bloody and unforgiving icy floor.She flicked her wrist and made a bright red rose appear before placing it between the two halves on the dead man.She pants with a hot breath before turning and going back over to where Toby was laying,where he watched the whole thing "*tic* y-y-your gonna make a-a *tic* g-g-good slender proxy..." Rose pulled down her mask and grins at Toby before offering him a hand up.He takes it and pulled his own mouth guard down,grinning back with the same amount of insanity rose possessed."The s-slender man *tic* h-h-has been wanting t-to *tic* meet you...Rose...I-I can take *tic* your b-b-back to the mansion *tic* y-you'll be o-one of *tic* us" Rose nods before teleporting her and Toby to where she left her backpack,using some pliers to remove the bullets from their body's and some bandages to wrap the injuries.Toby thanked her and twitched before putting a hand on her shoulder "*tic* t-the life o-o-of a s-slender proxy *tic* won't b-be easy...you s-saved me *tic* tonight,so I-in return *tic* you c-can as o-of now *tic* *tic* *tic* basically c-consider me y-your brother..." Rose stared at him before smiling,a feeling rising in her that she hadn't felt in a long time "Ok...Toby" he chuckled and stood up,motioning for her to follow him,as they walked they shared their own stories of how they became the way they are,finding even more things in common,and comforting each other when they began to get a bit emotional at some parts.Toby lead her to the mansion and looked at her "W-Welcome....sis" "thank you...brother"
