Chapter 14

The next day, we were greeted by everyone entering our room. Slender was the only one who spoke.

"Now I'm giving you girls two options. You can either join all of us here at the mansion, or you can remain chained up in this room."

I glanced over at my sisters before shrugging slightly. "Since you're not giving us much choice, I guess we'll be joining you."

"Very well. But after you are freed, you must not attack anyone here or you will be put back on those chains. Do I make myself clear?"

For a split second, I felt the painful static in my head, causing me to flinch. It seems Slenderman is giving me a warning. I nodded my head.

"Yes."

Slender's tentacles reached over and undid the cuffs on my wrists. I rubbed the faint marks on my skin before stretching my arms.

While Slender was freeing my sisters, I began peeling the tape away from my mouth. I sighed in satisfaction at finally being able to fully open my mouth again.

"Ahh, now that's more like it."

I looked over at my sisters as they came over to me, removing the tape from their faces in the process. Rhapsody immediately started skipping and jumping around.

"Yaaay! It feels so good to move around again! At one point, I though I was going to just die because my leg fell asleep and I couldn't get up and move it so it kind of felt like my leg was going to fall off but tha-"

I placed my hand over her mouth, stopping her in her tracks. "Just shut up, Rhapsody."

She pulled back, giving me a pouty face. "Aww, but I don't wanna! I've got to have someone to talk to!"

She then looked over at the others with a grin before tackling Toby with a hug. "I'll just have to chat with my wittle Ticci Toby!"

Masky and Hoodie were stifling their laughs at the way Rhapsody talked about Toby. I simply rolled my eyes at her. Slender then showed us around the house before leading us to the living room.

"I hope you girls don't mind sleeping on the pull out couch for now."

I replied, "Nah, that's fine with us."

"I also went ahead and got some more clothes for you. They're in the bathroom."

"Okay. I think I'll take a refreshing shower anyway."

Rhapsody butted in and yelled, "Me too! I'll race you!"

I watched her rush upstairs to the bathroom. I simply stood there with my arms crossed.

"I am not racing for the bathroom."

Melody giggled. "She's going to be in for a surprise when she gets there."

I plopped down on the couch, watching as Jack and Melody sat on either side of me. Jeff sat beside Melody while the proxies all sat in separate chairs. Slender silently left the room.

Ben suddenly came over and pushed his way between Melody and me, shoving me into Jack in the process. I sent him a glare as he grinned, gazing between sister and me.

"This is nice. I get to have a seat with two super hot girls while I watch TV."

Ben stretched his arms back and around Melody and me. I simply rolled my eyes. After all, we're used to guys doing this kind of thing.

Ben then looked over at Melody. "So who do you think is sexier, me or Jeff?"

She giggled. "Hmm, I'd have to go with Jeff."

"What?!"

Jeff let out a loud laugh. "Hahaha! Told you, Ben! I'm way better looking than you, even Melody can see that!"

Looking around Ben, I could see Melody with a slight pink on her face. I smiled and leaned back again. Ben scoffed and removed his arm from around her, and instead, turned toward me.

"Well then, I guess it's just you and me, beautiful."

"Nope, just you."

I smirked and moved over into Jack's lap. Ben's jaw dropped while Jack froze at my sudden action.

I giggled and said to him, "Sorry, Ben, you're just not as cool as Jack. To put it simply, you're not my type."

Ben's eyes only widened while Jeff and the proxies busted out laughing. Ben then crossed his arms and pouted.

Jeff told him between laughs, "She sure told you, huh, Ben?!"

Between everyone's fits of laughter, I heard Jack's voice. "Was that a compliment?"

I gave him a small smile. "Maybe."

Once the laughter died down, Ben moved to sit in the floor and started playing a game with Jeff joining him. I stayed in my spot on Jack's lap as I watched them play.

After a short while, Rhapsody came down in a silky blue tank top and shorts. She immediately rushed over toward Toby, nearly running over Ben in the process.

"Tobyyyy!"

Toby braced himself as Rhapsody jumped on him. She sat on top of him, hugging him against her chest. I could see the red on Toby's face as he twitched.

I looked over at Melody. "You can go next."

"You sure?"

I nodded, watching her get up and head upstairs. I looked over at Rhapsody again, seeing her still squeezing Toby.

I frowned and said, "Rhapsody, don't smother him."

She released him with a huge smile on her face. "Oopsies!"

She then looked at the TV screen and plopped down next to Ben. "Ooh, ooh, I want to play!"

Ben grinned over at her. "Sure thing, grab a controller."

She snatched a controller and started playing with Ben and Jeff. As we watched them play, I felt Jack place his hand on my leg. I didn't say anything and neither did he.

Soon enough, Melody came back down in pink pajama pants and a baggy shirt that hung off her shoulder. She quietly went back over to her seat next to Jeff, who was still focused on the game.

I got up off Jack and headed up to the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I undressed and got in the shower, feeling refreshed by the warm water.

Melody's pov

I took quick glances at Jeff out of the corner of my eye, smiling to myself. I've never really liked a guy like this before. I guess I'm not the only one, Rhapsody seems pretty attached to Toby already.

I'm actually not sure about Harmony though. She has too much fun just messing with people. I suddenly heard a sigh from my other side. I looked over at Jack, tilting my head.

"Jack? Something wrong?"

"N-No. It's nothing."

After a little while, Rhapsody had beaten Ben and Jeff. They groaned in annoyance while my little sister jumped up, cheering and gloating.

Ben finally got up saying, "Whelp, I'm heading to bed."

Jeff began following him. "Me too."

The proxies all started leaving to "go out and kill" as they put it. Rhapsody waved like crazy to them. "Come back soon, Toby!"

Rhapsody then came over and started helping me fold out the couch when she suddenly said, "Oh, Jack, do you think you could go get a brush for me? I forgot to get one and I like to brush my hair after it dries."

"Sure."

He headed upstairs and I quietly asked, "What are you doing? Harmony's in the bathroom right now."

She snickered. "That's the whole point. Haven't you noticed, I think Jack's really into her."

I blinked for a moment. "Oh."

"Let's get our bed set up."

Jack's pov

I stopped in front of the bathroom door. I couldn't hear the water running so I knocked. The door soon opened only to reveal Harmony in nothing but a towel.

"What?"

I felt my face heat up as I struggled to find my voice. "Rhapsody asked me to get a brush for her."

Harmony smirked, and with a hand on her hip, asked, "Are you sure that's the only reason?"

I remained quiet, watching as her smirk soon disappeared. "Right. A brush. Hang on a minute."

She went over to the cabinets, quickly finding a brush before bringing it over to me. "There you go."

She suddenly tilted her head at me. "Hey, how come you aren't affected by my charm like everyone else?"

I chuckled at her silly question. "Oh, but I am. I just don't show it the same way as others."

She watched me for a moment before shaking her head. "Well whatever, I need to get dressed."

She shut the door before I could reply. I quietly headed back down, tossing the brush to Rhapsody, who smiled happily.

"Thanks, Jackie!"

Harmony's pov

Oooh, I think I like these pajamas. I examined myself in the mirror. I had on red, silky pants and a silky, long sleeved, button up top.

Of course I only buttoned a few of the middle buttons, leaving my stomach and part of my chest uncovered. I smiled, satisfied with my appearance and left the bathroom.

Going downstairs, my sisters had our bed all fixed up with pillows and blankets. Jack was also there, and when he noticed me, he seemed to watch me as I came over.

I stretched my arms and smiled. "Nice job, girls. Let's get to bed. I'm tired."

Jack turned and headed upstairs with a simple "goodnight". I got into bed alongside my sisters and curled up, drifting to sleep.
