(You)
Hoodie takes a step closer to you, but you immediately move away again. Your head was spinning in confusion, unable to grasp what he just said. What did he even say? This was a joke, it HAD to be! But as you glanced over your shoulder, you saw in his eyes that it truely wasn't a joke. That didn't end your confusion and doubt, however. It just made it grow.

"Hoodie," you whisper, "I'm sorry, but I don't love you back. Through all this crazy stuff, I still love Masky." Just then, a thought ran through your head: Hoodie would never change his opinions for Masky, he loved him through and through! "Besides," you murmur, narrowing your eyes slightly to glare at him, "you're not even the real Hoodie." Turning away, you hear abit dark and chilling chuckle from behind you.

Slowly glancing over, you see Hoodie drop away from his flesh like a peeled snake skin, being replaced by a blood-red man with three horns on his floating head and long sharp canine teeth lining his mouth, foot-long fingers sharpened into needle-point claws. "You're correct," yhe creature hissed. The creature lunged at you, dark smoke pouring from his fiery red eyes, teeth pointed outward at terrifying angles. You scream loudly, your feet frozen in fear as those red eyes took you over.

(Masky)
I looked up from the ground, knowing that scream from anywhere. "(Y/N)," I shouted, taking off in the direction I heard it coming from. No other screams came after, but the constant whispering of He comes, He comes, he comes in my ears drove me forward. Under any other circumstances, I would have ran away from those whispers. But (y/n) had been screaming, and it came from this area. I wasn't really sure if it was right to call her my (Y/n) anymore, since she didn't seem to prefer being around me, but I still swore I'd protect her. Even if I've never sworn that until just now.

Out of the blue, Slender appeared in front of me and stopped me in my path. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked, leaning over me. I snarled at him, diving down between his legs and continuing my run. I wasn't going to lose (y/n) all because Slender got in my way.

Slender began chasing after me, but I refused to listen. His voice began to fade, and everything was getting blurry. "SSSStop right there," I heard someone hiss, sending chills as I recognized the voice of Zalgo. I peered my eyes in the direction, seeing that my vision wasn't blurry but that the area was smokey from Zalgo.

Slender ran into me from behind, not able to see me through the smoke, followed by three more thumps. I looked, seeing Rivereene, Hurricane, and BEN, with Ticci Toby, Jeff, and Jane behind them. They all had their eyes on Zalgo, seeming shocked to find him here. Ticci Toby glanced at me before looking back at Zalgo, shakily raising his hand to point at something. All six of them were staring at something I wasn't looking at, so I followed everyones' gaze to see Zalgo holding (y/n) by the neck, suspended over ten feet in the air.

She looked unconscious, but with Zalgo you could never be too sure. "(Y/n) went off to talk to Hoodie," I growled, "what did you do with him???"

"Foolisssh child," he hissed, "your friend hassss been in my casssstle for the passsst five monthssss. I've been Hoodie for five monthssss, and you never noticccced." I stared at him, not wanting to believe what he was saying. (Y/n)'s eyes fluttered open, immediately widening in realization of what was going on. I stupidly took a step towards her, causing Zalgo to tighten his grip on her throat. Her face slowly turned a soft shade of blue.

I watched in horror, seeming paralyzed in my place as Zalgo roared, "I WANT MY PAYMENT, SSSSLENDERMAN!" Payment??? Everyone here including me turned their gaze on Slenderman some looking angry and others looking sad, but everyone wanting answers.

"Zalgo, I've already told you before," Slenderman said calmly and steadily, "The Nightmare League took over our mansion, we don't have the payment right now."

Zalgo let out a bone-chilling laugh, screeching, "Well it lookssss like you don't need my protecccction anymore." He slowly raised his other hand in the air, snapping his fingers and making himself and (y/n) disappear from that spot. Bright helicopter lights shined down on us, everyone crouching down and shielding their eyes from the sudden light.

Slenderman hissed loudly, bringing out his claws as a loud-speaker voice stated, "This is the Government! We have you surrounded! Surrender now or we will we forced to open fire!" I looked at Slender in surprise, waiting for some sort of command from him. He looked back at me, a noticeably clear expression of grief on his blank face as he raised both his hands up in the air in surrender.

"Hurricane, Rivereene ," he whispered to the windy girl behind him and the watery girl next to her, "You two, dissolve into your materials and get out of here, go find Steven and tell him I'm offering a truce if he can get us out of Government facilities."

"Slender-" I started, only for him to shush me and continue, "Terms are that he keeps the mansion, but we get 50% of the money made to fix up the place we have now, but only if he gets us all out alive. If he needs to use any of the Creepypastas to help, then so be it."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" I whisper yelled at Slender between clenched teeth. He once again ignored me, continuing, "Hurricane, since my Pastas trust you more, you go tell them. Rivereene, you go tell the Nightmares. The smoke's still to thick for them to see individuals, so HURRY!" The two of them nodded, Turning into water and wind just as the smoke was clearing.

(Masky (back in the original reality, not this Masky))
I held my jacket tight in my grasp, longing to just see my precious (y/n) again. Who knew what kind of hell she was going through! Nearly three days (((((time spans are different, it's the same time Slender and them got caught by the government in the other reality))))) since Slenderman went searching for her, and still no sign of her. I heard a small hiss from across the lawn, and turned my head to see smoke rising from the pond.

More than mildly concerned, I got up to see what it was. The pond, as I saw, was on fire! The bottom of it was scorched in flames, slowly burning away the water. I widened my eyes, realizing that (y/n) would be stuck in there forever if I didn't go through right now! Denying control of my own body, I clasped my arms around myself tightly and Jumped through.

As I came out on the other side, I did a 360 and fell to what I thought was the ceiling, but ended up being the floor. The ceiling was the pond, its waters suspended in air. Looking around, I quickly recognized the features of Zalgo's castle.

Oh dear. I was screwed. I tossed my jacket to the side and started to walk around the halls, seeing row after row of cages with lava rocks for bars. Upon brushing my hand against one of them, they were scorching hot, leaving a nice red welt on my hand.

"Masky?" someone whispered from behind the bars, getting my attention.

I looked up at the voices, my eyes immediately flooding with tears. There were two hardly recognizable bodies in the cage, both of them caking over in scabs and rocks from recent burns. The larger one got up, slowly sliding over to the bars and clasping its rock-covered hands around them, staring me in the eyes.

"I-is it really you?" I stammered, the tears running from my face burning my cheeks as they evaporated into the air. As the person nodded, I smiled and grabbed their hands from the bars and clutched them tightly in mine. "G-Gamma," I whispered, more tears flooding my face as the realization hit me that my grandmother was locked here.
