*Kat pov*

    It's been one week sence the day I helped Toby. I've gotten a lot better at using my katanas and fighting. Slenderman comes every day to see how far along I've come. According to him it won't be long now until I'm ready. I've also spent every spare moment studying "The Holder of" and know all the stories. The Spine Stealer had started to loosen up around me and gave me her name. Bridg. Dad has been silent lately. I think it's because it's almost been a month sence he declared his rebirth. In one week he'll come back and I'll have to choose between him and Slenderman. I don't know who to choose.

    "WAKE UP!" Bridg shook me out of my daydream.

    "Sorry." I continued practicing with my katanas.

    "What I'd with you and daydreaming? PAY ATTENTION!" She yelled at me. "Your final assessment will be tonight. Be ready for anything." She went back to polishing her bone weapons.

    "Well? Do I get a hint?" I asked. She looked up.

    "Your hint is that it will be very hard." She went back to polishing her weapons. I rolled my eyes. Leave it to her to be mysterious. "Don't think I didn't see that." She didn't take her eyes off of her weapons.

**********Later on that night*********

    I strapped in my katanas and slung my bow and arrows over my shoulder.

    "Ready?" Bridg asked as she sheathed her bone sword. I nodded, pulling up my face scarf. "Let's go." She ran off into the forest and I followed along silently. We ran for about an hour before we stopped. I looked around and noticed that all the trees were marked with the Operator symbol. I tapped Bridg's shoulder and pointed at a symbol. "You'll see." She whispered. Suddenly Slenderman appeared.

    [Come with me child.] He turns around and walks into the forest. I run after him. He leads me deep into the forest, farther than I've ever been, then stops. He turns to me. [During this test you may not give away your identity in any way shape or form. If you can vanquish them all, then you pass, but if you don't. You fail. Also for this test you will not have instant healing to hide behind. You have 10 minutes.] He takes a few steps away. I feel weaker. Suddenly I'm surrounded by his proxys. They all looked confused. [I have found Kathleen's killer and thought you would like to seek justice.] Their confused looks turned to rage as they all  jumped at me at the same time. I teleported out from their grasp. I pulled out my katanas. Jeff tried to stab me with his knife, I dodged it and hit his head with the handle of one of my katanas. He fell to the ground. BEN, E.J., and Sally came at me. BEN tried to stab me with a sword while E.J. and Sally were trying to cut at my arms and legs with a scalpel and a pocket knife. Sally cut the back of my leg while I dodged a stab from BEN. I coffee grinder kicked their legs out from underneath them and winded them. Maskey jumped at me with a rock while Hoodie shot at me with his gun. I fired one of my arrows into the barrel of the gun and cut Maskey's chest. Maskey doubled over while Hoodie tried to pull the arrow out. I pulled out my bow and attached all awake proxys to the ground. I looked around. Ok so I got Jeff, BEN, Maskey, Hoodie, E.J., Sally, and, wait i'm missing one. Suddenly somthing cuts into my shoulder blade. I scream out in pain and turn around to see Toby holding his hatchets, covered in blood. He looked like he hasn't slept in a while and he smelled like beer and liquor. He twitches.

    "HOW DARE YOU TAKE HER BOW!" He yelled at me as he takes a step forward, swinging his hatchets. I narrowly dodge them as he swings again. I take a step back. He advances, swinging his hatches at me. I step back until I run into a tree. He cracks his neck as he raises his hatches. "Now it's your turn." His hatchets come down in slow motion. I teleport behind him at the last second and hit his head with the back of my katanas. He falls to the ground, but starts to get up. I run off into the woods. I can hear him comeing after me and getting closer and closer until I could feel his breath on my neck. I jumped up into a tree and climbed until I got to the top. He was not far behind me.

     [You have thirty seconds, act quickly.] I looked down at him. I'm sorry Toby. I got as close to him as I could and hit his head with the handle of my katana. His eyes rolled back in his head as he stared to fall off the tree. I caught him by the front of his hoodie. I teleported us to the bottom of the tree and teleported back to Slenderman. All the proxys were gone and Slenderman was was standing, waiting for me. I handed Toby back to Slenderman. [You've passed. Congratulations.] I felt a little dizzy. [Your healing will return to you when your cuts have stopped bleeding. You are dismissed.] He teleported away and I teleported back to where Bridg was. She jumped up from the ground.

    "Well? Did you pass?" I nodded. "Good now the real fun begins." She smiled. I pulled down my face scarf.

    "Look, im going to teleport. You want a ride?" I asked, slowly getting more and more dizzy. She nodded and grabbed my arm. I teleported us back to the clearing. "I need to wrap up my wounds. Do you have any medical bandages?" I asked as I pulled off my katanas and their strap. Bridg threw me a roll of bandages. I carefully took off my shirt and bra then wrapped the bandages around my chest and over the wound. When everything was all wrapped up I gave the bandages back.

    "Who gave you that?" Bridg asked.

    "Ticci Toby. He snuck up behind me while I was attacking his fellow proxys." I said as I threw on a loose black shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants and got into my bed. I fell asleep immediately.

*Toby pov*

********Before the fight*************

    I stared at the knife in my hand. Its blade caked with blood. I stood up and stood in front of a mirror in my room. I stabbed my self in the chest again and again until I was once again soaked in blood. I stopped and felt my self heal. Then I put the knife back under my pillow. I cleaned up the blood from the floor and changed into my killing hoodie and jeans. When I come back from killing, I'll continue until I'm too tired to lift my arms, then I'll sleep and continue in the morning. Just like I did yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. I strapped my hatchets to my back and adjusted my goggles and mouth guard. I wish I could feel pain. Every time I stab myself I wish it would hurt. I wish I felt somthing. I wish I had somthing to live for. Now that Kat's gone, I don't know what to do anymore. Except kill. I walked down stairs and sat on the couch while I waited for everyone else. All of the proxys are going killing tonight, Slendy's orders. Jeff and BEN came down and sat next to me on the couch. I stared blankly ahead. After a few minutes everyone was gathered and we started to leave when we were teleported to a part of the forest I've never seen before. We all surrounded a guy/girl in a ninja costume. Slenderman was standing off to the side.

    [I have found Kathleen's killer and thought you would like to seek justice.]

Kat's killer? THIS IS KAT'S KILLER!?!?! My vision turned red as we all jumped at it. It teleported away and pulled out a pair of katanas. I slowly snuck around it in the shadows. It attacked Jeff and knocked him out then winded BEN, E.J. and Sally. It disabled Hoodie's gun and sliced Maskey's stomach open. It was using Kat's bow and arrows. HOW DARE IT TAKE KAT'S STUFF! It looked around in confusion as I raised my hatchets above my head and brought them down on its shoulder. It screamed and turned around, I got a closer look at it and realized it was a girl.

    "HOW DARE YOU TAKE HER BOW!" I screamed at her as I swung my hatchets at her again and again until she's backed up against a tree. I cracked my neck. "Now it's your turn." I brought my hatchets down towards her face. She disappeared at the last second and I felt somthing hit the back of my head. I fell to my knees and fought the blackness at the edge of my vision. I got back to my feet just on time to see her run away. I ran after her until I could almost touch her then she jumped up into a tree. I climbed after her. She's not getting away this easy. She turned around and hit my head with the handle of her katana. The world went black. I felt the environment shift and I opened my eyes. I was back in the meadow where Kat and I kissed after she pranked Jeff, BEN and me. I wasn't in control of my actions as I stumbled and face planted into the ground. My vision was a little fuzzy and I felt sick. What's going on?

    "tobby." A soft voice whispered. My head jerked up and I saw Kat.

    "Kat? Is that you?" I slurred my words. She smiled and started walking away. "Wait! Kat! Come back!" I pushed myself up and staggered after her. "Wait up Kat, ma feet rrr stuck ta the ground." I stumbled after her. She stopped and let me catch up. I leaned against her shoulder. I felt confused. "Kat how are you," I motioned to her body. "Here." She hugged me as we teleported to my room. I looked around in surprise. "Woa! are you magic?" I whispered the last part. She nodded.

    "I have to go now Toby, but please stop drinking." I grabbed her arm.

   "Don't go! You just got here." I hiccup.

    "Don't worry, I'll be back." she says as she guides me over to my bed. "Now go to sleep." she whispers as I sit down on my bed. I smile.

    "That's-hic-what Jeff says." I lay down and close my eyes. I feel the environment shift again and I'm in Zalgo's chamber. He's sitting on his throne. My head feels sore. "What's going on?" I asked him. His eyes narrow.

    "You have seen to much." He stands up and is suddenly right in front of me. I fall on my back and quickly scramble back to my feet. "But, I have seen how much you've suffered because of Slenderp's actions, so I will allow you to talk with her. Only if you agree to give up the memory that you just witnessed and the memories of talking with her." I nodded vigorously.

    "Yes anything! I just want to see her again." I begged. He nodded and snapped his fingers. Kat appears next to him in a loose black shirt and baggy grey sweatpants.

    "You have five minutes." Zalgo walks back to his throne. I stared at her and she stared back at me. I pulled down my mouth guard.

    "kat? Is that really you?" I whispered. She nodded. I break out of my trance, lean forward and kiss her. Her arms wrap around my neck and my arms wrap around her waist. We break apart. "I missed you. Where did you go? How are you still alive? Why did you leave? Who-" She stopped me by putting her hand over my mouth.

    "I missed you too, but I don't think I'm allowed to explain, I don't even know everything myself. If I could tell you I would." I let go of her waist.

    "What do you mean? Are you in trouble? Is that ninja keeping you captive? I gather all the proxys and maybe I can get help from the Sandman and Herbert. And the ponies! They'll help! Just tell us where your being held captive and we'll-" I started pacing, but was interrupted by Kat.

    "No, Toby it's not like that. It's...complicated." She looked down. I stood in front of her and placed my hands on her shoulders. She winced. I quickly pulled my hands away.

   "That ninja is hurting you isn't she? I'LL KILL HER! WHERE IS SHE?! I'LL KILL HER!" I turned to Zalgo. An amused smile crossed his face. I felt my blood boil. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! THAT NINJA NEEDS TO PAY!" He chuckled.

    "You would like to see the person that hurt Kat? Here, here is the person." A full length mirror appeared in front of me. I was confused.

    "Uh Kat, what is he talking about?" I asked slowly as I turned to her. She looked down and showed me her back as she pulled off her shirt revealing a large medical bandage wrapped around her chest and shoulder.

    "I'm the ninja Toby. You hurt me." She put her shirt back on and looked down. "Attacking you and all the other proxys was my final assessment. Now I get my first mission. I don't know when I'll come back to the mansion, If I come back at all." She kept staring at the floor.

    "If you want to talk about injuries, then take a look at this." Zalgo waved his hand and a large square of smoke appeared in the air in front of him. It showed me standing in front of a mirror and repeatedly stabbing myself with a knife. Kat gasped.

    "Toby?" Kat whispered. Still staring at the screen. Now it was my turn to look down.

    "I thought, mabey if I stabbed myself enough I would finally be able to feel pain and if I could feel pain then mabey it would distract me from the pain of losing you." I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I looked into Kat's violet eyes.

    "Promise me that you'll stop." She whispered as her eyes watered. I stayed silent. "Toby please promise me that you'll stop. If you promise to stop, then I promise that I'll come back." I looked into her eyes and nodded. She smiled.

    "Ok time's up!" Zalgo teleported over to us. Kat pecked me on the lips before Zalgo grabbed me, erased my memories and sent me away.

*Kat pov*

    I watched as Toby disappeared, and Dad put an arm around me.

    "Thank you." I hugged him, he was shocked for a second then hugged me back.

    "You both were dieing inside and even though he won't remeber this meeting with you, he will have an unexplainable feeling of hope from that promise you made him." He smiled down at me, but his smile quickly turned to a frown and he started pacing. "But your mission will be hard and you will need to follow my instructions exactly so listen closely..."
