Chapter 12
We entered the small mansion and gazed around the living room we were in. "This is a nice place you got here."
"Why thank you."
I jumped slightly at the deep, unfamiliar voice. In an instant, a tall faceless man appeared in front of us. I gasped, staring up at the figure with wide eyes.
"You...I saw you months ago."
"I know. That's when I first saw you and your sisters. I guess my gift to you back in prison really helped."
"Y-You're the one who sent those little letters? But...why? Why were you helping me, a complete stranger?"
"Because like I said before, I know what you are. You are creepypastas, just like the rest of us. What are your names, child?"
I noticed that for once, both of my sisters were completely silent, so I answered him. "I'm Harmony. Those are my sisters, Melody and Rhapsody."
"It's nice to finally meet you three. I am Slenderman. My apologies for putting you in danger, but I couldn't let you keep my proxies as prisoners."
I glanced back at Masky, Hoodie, and Toby before nodding. "I understand."
"Well then, how would you three like to stay here?"
I looked up at him questioningly. "Excuse me?"
"Not only did I want to meet you, I want to recruit you. Although I still don't know how you manage to kill so many people without leaving a single wound on the bodies."
"We...wait, how do you know about that?"
"I heard it on the news months ago. You wiped out an entire college of people that day."
I chuckled slightly. "Yep, that's definitely us."
"How did you do it?"
I grinned. "Oh, it was easy. But I'm not going to tell you anymore than that."
"Very well. Come with me."
We were led through the house to what looked like some kind of examination room. It was a big room with large, metal tables with things like restraints and chains and the like.
It basically looked like a mixture between a hospital room and a torture chamber. I looked around before raising an eyebrow.
"What is this place? Why did you bring us here?"
Surprisingly, Jack answered me. "This is my medical room. It's where I like to perform my procedures."
"Procedures?"
"I guess you could call me a cannibal. This is where I like to pick out my favorite organs from my victims and also where I fix up anyone who's injured."
Slenderman then told us, "You three will stay in here for now."
I narrowed my eyes. "You mean we get to be chained up like prisoners?"
"If that's how you want to look at it, yes. This is only temporary until we can trust you."
I began struggling to free myself. "No! No more chains! I don't want to be confined again!"
Jack's grip on my arm tightened as my sisters and I struggled against our captors. I froze upon hearing a painful static in my head. I clenched my teeth and squeezed my eyes shut until the noise subsided.
I gazed up at Slender in slight fear as Jack guided me over to a table. I decided to go along with it for now and sat down, letting Jack replace the rope on my wrists with metal cuffs that chained me to the wall.
Masky and Hoodie did the same thing to my sisters, restraining them to metal tables. Slender and his proxies began leaving along with Ben while Jeff and Jack stayed in the room.
Jeff sighed in annoyance and rolled up his torn up sleeve. Jack started cleaning and bandaging the bloody bite marks I left on Jeff's arm.
"She's got quite a bite, huh, Jeff?"
Jeff chuckled, glancing over at me. "Sure does. But she sure is cute. All of them are."
When Jack finished up, Jeff rolled down his sleeve and casually left with Jack, shutting the door behind them, leaving us alone.
"Awww, chained up again?! What are the odds?!"
Melody glanced at Rhapsody as she whined before looking over at me and asking, "What now? How can we get out of this, Harmony?"
I looked around the room in thought. "I'm thinking."
It grew silent until Rhapsody broke out in laughter, kicking her feet in the air. Melody and I both looked over at her in confusion.
"Come on, girls! There's an easy answer to that! All we can do is sing an act cute!"
I blinked a few times before sighing in annoyance. "I can't believe I'm saying this but, Rhapsody's right. Our options are limited right now, so we'll just do what we do best. For now at least."
Melody seemed to nod slightly before saying, "At least we can move a bit. Not like in those prison cells."
"Yeah. I guess it's not quite as bad as there. But I still don't like it."
"Uuuugh, this is gonna be soooo boring though!"
I looked over at Rhapsody with a gentle smile. "Come on, why don't we sing for a bit to pass the time."
The three of us spent hours just singing and talking for a bit, waiting for something to happen. We took turns singing whatever songs we wanted. It was now my turn again.
"You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through"
Jack's pov
I had three small plates of sandwiches to take to the prisoners just like Slender asked me to. It's actually kind of funny the way he's not allowing Ben or Jeff to go see them right now.
And for some reason, the proxies really didn't want to see them either. Probably something to do with when they were captured.
So I volunteered to bring them snacks since I kind of wanted to get a good look at them anyway. Maybe I can learn more about them, after all, I've never met creepypastas like them before.
As I approached the door, I could hear something on the other side. I leaned forward slightly, ready to turn the doorknob when I froze.
I could hear one of them singing. I can't believe how beautiful their voice is. This is the first time I've heard them sing.
Now I understand how the proxies were captured. Hearing just one of them puts me in a dream-like state, unable to even move my body. I'm stuck standing here, frozen in place until the singing stops.
Harmony's pov
After I finished my song, the door suddenly opened. We all looked over to see Jack entering the room with a plate of sandwiches.
"Wow. What a pretty song. Was that you, Harmony?"
"Yes, it was. What are you doing here?"
He came closer, setting the plate down in front of me. "I brought a snack incase you were hungry."
I stared down at the sandwiches momentarily before turning my nose up in disgust. I pushed the edge of the plate away with my foot.
"I think I'll pass. I'm not really hungry. And even if I was, I wouldn't take food from any of you."
I heard a low chuckle from him. "You sure are stubborn. What about you, Melody? Want any?"
He looked over at her, but she simply shook her head, refusing like I was. I finally looked back at Jack.
"You can always give them to Rhapsody. She's like a garbage disposal."
We looked over at Rhapsody, who was grinning and saying, "Yes! I'll take them! Please, please, please!"
Jack went and set the plate in front of her, watching her scarf down every bite. He then came back over to me, sitting himself beside me.
"So are you just gonna starve yourself then?"
"No. We can still go a few days without eating."
"How?"
"We had a big meal before you ambushed us at the bar."
He stayed quiet for a moment as if thinking things through. Suddenly, a quiet gasp escaped his lips.
"Is that why...everyone was already dead?"
I grinned and leaned forward. "You're catching on fast. We killed them off to gain more power."
I moved as close as I could until I was inches away from his masked face. "You see, we are capable of surviving on regular food like anyone else, but our preferred diet..."
I smiled at him as I gazed into the eyeless sockets of his mask. "...consists of human souls."
It grew quiet and I noticed him backing away from me slightly. I giggled at him before explaining.
"Don't worry, with our full mouths taped shut, we are unable to consume anyone's soul right now. Consider yourself lucky."
I sat myself back against the wall, watching Jack stand up. He took the now empty plate from Rhapsody and left the room without another word.
Jack's pov
I left the room, thinking of what Harmony told me. So they gain power by eating human souls. I bet Slender will want to hear this.
