Chapter 8 ~ Communications 2.0

(Y/n) (L/n)'s Perspective
~ ~
When my eyes opened again, I saw four men surrounding me. They felt familiar, but I couldn't tell.
I groan, tired and in pain and just nuzzle my face into the pillow.
"Miss?" One of them questioned. I wanted to ignore him, but he kind of just helped me out so I looked back at him. "What were you doing out there?"
"I was drugged and kidnapped, to put it simply." I sigh, nuzzling my face back into the pillow. 'Damn this bed is comfortable.'
"You say that like it's nothing." Another commented.
"It's just another wave of karma hitting back at me, nothing you need to worry about." I tried to make them stop asking questions, they didn't.
"How'd you get into the forest? Nobody would just leave their victim there." One asked.
"I teleported, unfortunately my body hasn't been responding to my magic in a healthy way so, I was limp." I explained before there was a further question.
"How can a human even teleport?" A different one asked.
"Simple. I'm not human, at least not completely."
"Then what are you?"
"That... I don't know." I had been trying not to make eye contact this whole time when I realized, only one of them had eye holes, none other had eyes but they were all looking at me. It was strange, but I just shrugged it off.
"So what happened with the kidnapping?" The only one with an actual mouth asked. I shrug.
"Let's just say that I've never been on a good date." I sigh.
"Seriously? That's it?" I give him a 'seriously' look.
"Yes. Seriously. Unfortunately, abuse is real and I've been victim of a lot of it." I roll my eyes at him. "I went on a date the other day just to figure out he drugged me on the way out. Then woke up in different clothing and some random demon dude came in then the guy that drugged me who turned out to be a demon too, and also my previous abusive exes."
"Are they the ones who left the new injuries on you?" The one with a face asked.
"Nope, the guy who drugged me also tried to rape me and started biting." I sit up in bed, just to wince.
"Do the bites hurt?" I shook my head.
"Magic fatigue. Bites only ever sting. Besides, I'm sure a lot worse would've happened if I stayed. Though that new guy did say not to harm me much because apparently I'm his 'new wife'." I shrug.
"What did this guy look like?" The completely faceless one asked.
"Reddish n black horns, red eyes, he looked outside of his regular form so he had dark skin and black hair." I described.
"Zalgo. He's searching for another individual to manipulate."
"Nope. I'm done with manipulation. I'm done with dating. I'm done with people. If I see that guy again, hopefully I'll have myself back in order." I snap my fingers and I have a robe on. "And before you ask, clothing is easy to conjure up."
One of them nodded.
"Why not put on actual clothes?" One asked.
"Because I don't know what to wear and I can't really think right now."
"I can get you something." The one with the glasses said.
"That'd be nice of you, but you don't have to." I said, but he basically already grabbed something and gave it to me. "Should I even ask how you have women's clothes?"
"A lot of one night stands, sweet cheeks~." One joked. Though that's what I thought, the one with the glasses interrupted.
"I'm a designer. I've had a lot of female clients. And I have to make women's clothes." He explains, I nod.
"I think his story is more believable," I pointed to the one with the mouth. "But ok."
The one with the glasses scoffed and the one with the mouth chuckled.
"You know my mental monologue is starting to sound really weird, may I have your names?" I asked, one of them gave me a weird look, but they all complied.
They gave their names: Slenderman, Splendorman, Trenderman, and Offenderman. Also known as: Slender, Splendor/Splendy, Trender/Trendy, Offender/Offendy. Slender apparently doesn't like Slendy.
"Ok, cool. I'm (Y/n), I really don't care what you call me as long as it's not insulting." I pause. "Actually, I could care less if it's insulting." I was way too tired to care.
"Alright then." Trender said, not really caring.
"Well I should probably scadaddle, it was nice of you to take my burden." I snapped my fingers and my phone was back, but it was cracked and I cursed under my breath. When I looked back up, they were all staring at me in disbelief.
"You can't leave. You're still hurt and you're not a burden." Splendy quickly implied, thinking I was upset.
"You're not causing any trouble, the killers get hurt all the time." Trender added. Slender gave Trender a glare.
"Well now she's going to get scared, now that she knows there's killers in this house." Offender scoffed.
"Oh cool. Why didn't one of you try to kill me? That would be great." I say.
"Everyone here could kill you." Slender scoffed at me, possibly insulted I said 'try'.
"Oh please do try. I've been impaled, decapitated, torn limb from limb, heck I'd be Frankenstein if I didn't have magic. Please. Try to kill me." I said, feeling a little desperate for the pain.
"No! We're not hurting you!" Splendor said quickly. "Why do you need to be so dark and depressing?"
"I'm tired. I try to be happy then get stabbed in the back. I try to be nice and I get stabbed in the back. I try to be mean and I get stabbed in the back. I try to be right in between and I get stabbed in the back. I cut myself out from the world and I stab myself in the back." I sighed after that. "I shouldn't be here but I was stupid to try. Now I'm here and clearly causing problems."
"You're the only one who has a problem here." Trender mumbles.
"Yeah, I noticed. Because I'm in a bad mood and don't know how to cope besides being a sarcastic bitch. I'm working on it. I just need to get my head straight." I somewhat growled. To ease the tension, Splendor came up with a brilliant idea.
"How about breakfast then?"
