Rhapsody's pov

I sighed as I leaned over Toby, wrapping my arms around his neck while he played video games with Ben, Masky, and Hoodie. I glanced over at Jack, remembering what he told us a couple of days ago.

He spoke to Harmony. He told us that she would be back soon. In that time, my extra features had receded back into my body, leaving me back to my normal, adorable self.

I hugged Toby with a frown on my face. "It's just not the same without Harmony."

I watched his character on-screen get killed before he turned his head to look back at me. "Lighten up, Rhapsody. She said she'd be back soon. It's weird seeing you so depressed."

I smiled and squeezed him. "Aww, thanks, Toby."

He went back to the game, leaving me to frown again. I wish Harmony was here. It feels weird not having her here to tell us what to do. I really miss her.

After a short while, I got up and started heading upstairs. That's when I heard the front door open. I turned to see who it was and instantly felt my eyes widen.

It was Harmony. I wide grin spread across my lips and I quickly rushed up the rest of the stairs. I ran to Jeff's room, poking my head in.

Melody was sitting with Jeff, watching a movie with him. I was shaking with excitement and the grin never left my face.

"Hey, Melody. Guess what?"

Jeff paused the movie with a sigh of annoyance while Melody looked at me questioningly. "Someone just got home. I think you'll want to see her."

Melody gasped with wide eyes, instantly knowing who I was talking about. She smiled brightly and asked, "She's really back?"

"Yes! Come on! We've got to go see her!"

Harmony's pov

I walked into the room, watching as everyone's gaze was on me. I looked down nervously and smiled slightly. I noticed Jack quickly get up out of his seat and come over to me.

"You're back. Have you made up your mind?"

I looked up at him and nodded. "Yeah. I have no reason to fight it anymore. I'm here to stay."

We suddenly heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. I looked to see Melody and Rhapsody both running toward me with smiles on their faces.

Jack took a step back, allowing the girls to tackle me in a group hug. "We're glad you're back."

"Yay! It's so great having you back after so long! We missed you, big sis!"

Melody parted from the hug while Rhapsody kept her hold on me. "Rhapsody, I was only gone for a few days."

"Well it feels like a long time!"

She squeezed me so tightly that I could barely breathe. "Rhapsody...too tight...let go."

I finally pushed her away, causing her to giggle. "Oopsies, my bad. I'm just sooo happy!"

I smiled at them both and asked, "Can we go for a walk? Just us three? I want to talk to the both of you."

They both happily nodded. I then heard Jack's voice cut in. "Don't be too long, okay?"

My sisters seemed to move back slightly, giving me a clear view of Jack. I smiled and went over to him. "I won't."

I placed a quick kiss on his mask where his lips would be. Before I could leave, I noticed Slenderman standing across the living room. I hadn't even noticed him appear.

"Welcome to the family, Harmony."

"Thank you. Come on, Melody, Rhapsody."

They followed me out and back into the woods. I slowed my pace and looked down at the ground as my sisters followed on my sides.

"Listen, it's about time I apologize to both of you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not listening to what you two wanted. I was so obsessed with gaining power that I didn't even think about how you two felt. Some big sister I am, huh?"

I felt Melody's hand on my shoulder. I looked over at her to see her smiling. "Don't be silly. You're a great big sister. You just made a small mistake, that's all."

"Yeah! So you went a little crazy in the head, so what? I'm crazy, like, all the time!"

I laughed. "That's true. I just assumed that you two wanted the same things I did."

Melody then told me, "It's partially our fault too. We should've just told you that we didn't want any of that. You only did what you thought was best for all of us."

"You've always looked out for us and kept us safe. Remember all the times you intervened when our dad was going to hit us? You saved my butt hundreds of times!"

Rhapsody laughed at her own statement, leaving Melody to finally say, "We forgive you, Harmony, and we're glad to have you back."

I smiled at both of them. It grew quiet as we walked. "Sooo, Jack's really been missing you too."

I glanced over at Rhapsody as she smiled at me. "He really loves you, you know."

I smiled slightly. "I know."

"Aaaand? Do you like him?"

"Maybe."

Melody then joined in the conversation. "Come on, you can tell us. I've been crushing on Jeff and Rhapsody's practically attached to Toby at all times."

I giggled at them both before finally nodding. "Okay. Yes, I like him. It's strange, we've always used our charm to seduce people, but this is the first time I've actually liked them."

"Well, looks like we have three lovely ladies all alone in the woods."

We froze in our tracks at the unfamiliar voice. My eyes darted around, trying to find the speaker. That's when I noticed a rose at my feet and picked it up before looking around again.

"Who said that? Show yourself!"

I could hear a low chuckle followed by a tall figure appearing in front of us. We jumped back and I gasped and dropped the rose when I saw the creature.

He looked almost just like Slender except he wore a dark trenchcoat and fedora. He was faceless except for the large grin full of sharp teeth that stretched across his face.

"Y-You look like Slenderman."

His grin widened slightly. "Oh, so you know my brother? How delightful."

Slender's brother? I didn't know he even had a brother. With my sisters slightly behind me, I backed away a bit, glaring up at the man.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

His grin never faltered as he seemed to watch us. "My name is Sexual Offenderman. And I was watching you ladies when you picked up my rose."

I glanced down at the rose on the ground. Judging by his name, this guy doesn't sound good at all. It grew silent until the creature spoke again.

"We have two ways of doing this. Either you three can come with me, or I'll take you by force. The decision is yours."

Tentacles sprouted from his back, a lot like Slender's except white instead of black. My mind was racing for any idea to get out of this. If this guy is like Slender, he'll be immune to our powers.

Damn it, there's only one thing I can think of. I took a deep breath and took a step forward. "I picked up your rose. I'll come with you, but leave my sisters out of it."

"What? But, Harmony-"

I glared back at Melody, shutting her up. Offender seemed to tilt his head in thought, so I explained further.

"If you take all three of us, we will struggle and fight against you until we escape or die trying. But if you leave them out of it, I...I will do whatever you want without a single struggle."

He grinned. "Hmm, that's quite the offer. Very well then, you're the hottest one anyway."

My sisters began tugging on my arms. "Harmony, you don't have to do this."

"That's right! We'll go together!"

I tugged my arms out of their grip and backed away from them, giving them a weak smile. "No. I'm doing this to protect you. Let this be my way of making it up to you two for everything I did."

They watched me in silence, worry and sadness written on their faces. I backed up until I felt Offender behind me. He placed his hands on my shoulders and in the blink of an eye, my sisters were gone.

I was now in what looked like some kind of cabin. The windows were boarded up and the door was shut with multiple locks on it. Offender led me to a small bedroom.

As I looked around, I felt him behind me. He placed his hands on my arms and leaned his head over my shoulder.

"Now, Harmony, was it? We're going to have so much fun together."

He trailed his long, snake-like tongue up my neck and the side of my face. I gulped and shivered at his touch. Something tells me I'm in big trouble.
