A few weeks passed while (Y/N) recovered, and in that time, she was able to go over everything Toby had told her. Slenderman had chased the two from her home, into the city. Toby had fought him off, but (Y/N) had been hit by a car. She hardly remembered any of it, the chasing felt more like a strange dream she might have had years ago.

And to think she had been hit by a car. The girl could hardly believe it, but the aching pain she was in confirmed that it was true. Well, that, the lack of memory of the events, and the fact that she was in Slender's mansion.

Toby had told her that he managed to convince his boss to spare her, but the price of that was a hefty one. In keeping (Y/N) alive, she will now have to prove her worth to Slenderman, give him a good reason as to why he shouldn't kill her. But that meant becoming one of his Proxies. Toby had told her he didn't want to do it, but it was the only way to keep her alive. Slenderman wasn't one for sparing many humans. And by the sounds of it, her twitchy friend had done well to sell (Y/N) to his boss. Slenderman believed she would be fully loyal to him; Toby had promised it.

Which is fair. Considering all the research the girl had done on the urban legend, she wasn't surprise by the circumstances. All she had to do now, was complete whatever task Slender gave her, if she fails to prove herself, if she give Slenderman even the slightest of doubt to her loyalty... She'll die.

And it was strange; to think she was here now. After all the events that had taken place, was she really going to pledge her loyalty to Slenderman? All she wanted was to prove his existence, and now she's trying out to become his Proxy.

The door to the storage room opened, and she lifted her head. Toby had to leave a few hours ago to complete some work for his boss, and she was hoping he was back to keep her company. She wanted to talk to him, to prepare herself as much as she could. He said he would be there for, he'll support her and help as much as he could. Toby was all she could lean on right now.

Sadly, her doctor walked in, closing the door behind him. Doctor Smiley, one of the residences at Slender's mansion, was looking after her to make sure she recovered well. His orange hair hung over his eyes, making the dark brown seem darker, almost black. The girl let out a disappointed sigh, having to prepare for another check up and rapid-fire questions.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, not looking at her as he walked over. He had a sheet in his hand, reading over any notes he had taken of her since her arrival.

"Sore." She said, crossing her arms.

"As to be expected with broken ribs." He said, taking the seat next to her bed, "And your leg, how is it?"

"Itchy." She said, staring at the cast that was hugging her injured leg.

He nodded, reaching under the bed and handing her a long thing wooden stick. The girl smiled and took it. Dr. Smiley then raised his eyes to the girl's face, reaching over to lift the gauze from her head. He didn't ask any questions on the gash that ran from her temple to the middle of her forehead, instead just examined it, taking notes of what he saw.

For once, the check-up was over quickly. Dr. Smiley got to his feet, walking over to a shelf covered in orange tubes, pills of all kinds sat in amongst the murky jars of body parts; something (Y/N) had slowly grown used to being surrounded by.

"Seems like you're recovering quickly." The doctor said, grabbing a tube and walking over, "I think you'll be better in a few more weeks."

(Y/N) nodded. She was happy to hear that, the pain was driving her crazy and she just wanted to be back to normal. But she was also terrified of that information. Since she was injured, Slender had agreed to let her fully heal before testing her. So as soon as she's let go, she'll immediately be put to the test.

And as much as Toby believed in her, there was still doubt swimming in her mind. The expectation that she would was overshadowing the question of whether or not she could. And the girl wasn't sure what she could do.

"Alright. Here's some painkillers, try to rest up. The sooner you heal, the sooner I can get back to harvesting my victims." Smiley snapped her out of her thoughts. She nodded and took the pills from him. Toby had already told her of Smiley's hobbies, it explained the room she was in now. A storage of body parts collected by Smiley and another.

She hated this room, but Slenderman and Toby both said it was better to keep her here, hidden from everyone else in the house. The only people that knew she was even here were the three she knew, and a fourth she had yet to meet. Apparently he only came into the room while she slept, Toby was always with her when that happened to 'keep her in one piece'. It gave her the creeps, but she was happy to know he was protecting her.

Once she took the medication, Dr. Smiley put the notepad down. He gave her a nod, before leaving the room and closing the door. Now all she could do was sit and wait. It's all she had been doing these past few weeks, and it's all she'll do for the next.

She went back through her memories, thinking about everything Toby had told her once again. Wondering if her family had noticed if she was gone, hoping Harry was safe and being fed. She thought about the fact that she was actually in Slenderman's mansion. It was hard to believe, considering she's only seen the one room, but she found herself wondering what the rest of the mansion looked like.

Having Toby tell her the moment she woke up, she remembered geeking out which resulted in a painful coughing fit. To think she was actually in the mansion, something people only ever talked about, and something no one could ever find themselves...

The door opened again, and she lifted her gaze. Toby walked into the room, his hoodie was covered in fresh dirt and blood, a very common look for the messy killer. He pulled his orange goggles off and placed them on the bench across the room, walking over and taking his seat in the chair next to the bed. Pulling his mask down around his neck, he gave the girl a lopsided smile; the only smile he really could give.

"H-H-How arrre you f-feeling?" He asked, tilting his head at her.

"Sore." She said, though this time she smiled back, "You know, the usual. How did your mission go?"

The boy shrugged, scratching his head, "B-Bloody..."

"I can see, they put up a fight?"

"Evvveryone does." He nodded, before facing her fully, "B-But what ab-b-bout you? How are you wi-i-ith everything?"

The girl stared at him, before letting out a sigh and laying her head back on the pillow, "I'm still terrified... What if he asks me to kill a child, or an elderly person? I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to do it."

"I-I don't think he'll ma-ake you kill a child." Toby said, "H-His brother wooould have a f-f-ffffit."

(Y/N) glanced at him, before playing with the light blanket that covered her body, scrunching it in her fists, "I don't know..."

"T-Trust me." Toby said with another smile.

The girl let out another sigh, nodding her head slowly, "Alright, I trust you."

But she wanted to change the conversation, she was done thinking about this for today, "By the way, have you stopped by home at all? How is everyone? Do they even notice I'm gone?"

"N-Nope." Toby said, shaking his head, "Y-Your mother leaaaves every morning a-and gets back verry late. Y-Your brother is h-h-high in his room all day."

"I wonder where he gets the drugs from..." She said, still shocked he had taken that path, "And... Harry? How is he? They better be feeding him."

This time when Toby smiled, he seemed to relax, "Th-They aren't."

"What?!" The girl almost shot out of the bed, "They're not feeding my dog?! We have to do something!"

"Shhh..." Toby said, resting a hand on her shoulder and leading her back to the pillow, "Do-on't worry (Y/N)... Th-They aren't f-f-feeeeding him be-because I took him. H-He's in my room. I-I-I've been loo-ooking after him."

Relief washed over the girl, and she covered her face. Toby chuckled, reaching over and pulling a hand from her face,

"Y-You didn't let me finish..." He said, and she huffed.

"You could have worded it better." But then she stopped, sitting up slowly. The sharp pain in her side made her hiss, and Toby was about to try to lay her back down, but she held up a hand, "I want to see Harry, can you bring him here?"

"I-I'llll go ask Dr. S-Smiley, this issss his storage ro-om, and Harry is a b-b-bi-ig dog." Toby said, before nodding and getting to his feet, "I-I-I'll be right back."

He got to his feet, stretching before pulling the mask back over his face. As he walked to the door he pulled his goggles back on, and he was out in the hallway. (Y/N) watched until the door was closed, and then she leant back against the wall.

The pills finally started working, and the pain slowly disappeared. It was the only good things about the daily check-ups. But the side effect to the medication was how tired the girl would get. While she sat and waited for Toby to return, her eyes started to grow heavy. For once her mind was blank, she thought of nothing but sleep and seeing her beautiful dog.

She wasn't sure how much time passed, but it felt like a century. Her eyes had closed when the door opened and she started to perk up. Toby walked back into the room, holding the big fluffy dog in his arms. Pulling the door closed with his foot, he walked over to the bed, carefully setting Harry down next to his owner.

The dog's tail was wagging, and he immediately started licking all over (Y/N)'s face. The girl gave a lazy smile, reaching up and patting the dog, hugging him close. Harry laid next to her, nuzzling her cheek, and licking her nose. He gave a soft bark of joy, he had clearly missed her.

Toby took his place next to the girl again, her mask and goggles away from his face. He watched the two with a smile, his body ticking now and then.

"Th-The pills k-k-kicked in yet?" He askeda s Harry finally calmed down, laying next to (Y/N)'s side and resting his head on her good leg. The dog's big brown eyes stared up at her, he knew she was in pain, and it melted the girl's heart to see him move so carefully, she didn't even hear Toby.

"What?" She asked when his voice registered, and the boy chuckled,

"I-I'll take that as a y-y-yes." He said, leaning on his arm.

(Y/N) blinked, before turning her attention back to Harry. She gave the giant pupper a pat on the head, his tail thumping against the mattress. Toby watched her interacting with her pet, feeling grateful to have saved him from that home.

There was no way her stupid excuse for a family would look after him, both those idiots had lost their way, though he would never voice that to (Y/N). He wasn't exactly sure what it was her mother was doing, he just knew it wasn't anything good, and he didn't want to put anymore terrible news into her mind.

He had spoken to Slenderman about the task (Y/N) would be getting, whether or not Toby could know. He even swore to secrecy, and it took a lot but Slender finally told him.

"Y-You... You can d-d-do it..." Toby said, thinking out loud. This caught the girl's attention, and she faced him with a sigh,

"Toby..."

"B-Believe me..." Toby said, reaching over and taking her hand. He stared at her, "I-I know you c-c-can do it... I'lllll be here to h-help any wa-ay I can. I'll h-help you g-get through wh-whatever you have to f-f-face."

The girl stared at their hands, listening to him. Hearing those words confirmed that whatever task she was given, it was going to be bloody. She just hoped it would be as easily done as it is said. Slowly, she squeezed his hand, giving him a small, tired smile,

"Alright... Thank you Toby."
