sleep sickness

chapter 4:The mansions owner returns.

~ ;) what do you suppose will happen now?? Hmm -max

BEN'S P.O.V.
I was sitting on the branch of a tree arguing with slender. Zalgo knows what goes through this guys head. "Benjamin,I have been thinking. I have decided it is time for me to return to the mansion. The other pastas are lost without me. I have left Toby to do my work. It is obvious that the girl is not going to leave. Jeff is going to protect her and I'm possitive when E.J. gets back he will to. I'll just have to train the girl to fight and ask zalgo if-" "You will not ask zalgo anything. He is in the underground relm where he belongs! Ive already told you I'll take care of the girl. And I haven't taken your little charm in 2 years! So you won't be able to stop me from killing any pasta that gets in my way! I leave NO witnesses!" I shouldn't have done that. Slenderman was the strongest creepypasta of all,he had the power to do things none of us could even imagine,and I had just made him severely mad at me by questioning his power. "Do not dare tell me what I can and can't do!!!" He bellowed with a voice so loud it would make lighting cower beneath the trees. I started to get that staticy felling in my head,it was horrible and made me dizzy. Anger roled off him with every word,almost sending me flying backwards."I controll all of you! With or without my charms! In or out of the mansion! I am the only one besides zolgo that has the power to take away your immortality! So don't test me. I've done it before and I'll do it again!" His voice shook me from the inside out with terror but I kept a straight face,determine not to let it show. "I'm going back to the mansion with or without you,regardless its where we both belong. I'll decide rather or not the girl stays when I'm done training her. And remember I will keep watch." And with that,he flickered out.

I knew that maskey and hoodie wound soon-if-not-already be headed back to he mansion. At first slendy had agreed that it was making Jeff weak to love a mortal,then getting even more enraged by hearing E.J.'s little speech in the woods that day. He hadn't let anyone love a mortal in the mansion since she died. We were not allowed to even think her name. If we did,he would know. I caught myself thinking about returning to he mansion myself. I didn't know why slendy had changed his mind. Maybe it was the thought of her. How much Shelby looked and acted like her. Maybe we could give her a chance. But I would have to stay away at first. After all,she does believe I killed her family.
SLENDERMAN'S P.O.V.
I was the only one who could teliport out of all other creepy pastas. It gave me an advantage on my prey as well as getting where I wanted to go. Right now,I wanted to go home as quickly as possible. I knew I would have some explaining to do. Before the girl would let me train her ,I would have to explain myself to her and apologize for her arm. The last time I checked in on the mansion was shortly after E.J. died. Jeff had finally gotten Shelby to fall for him. It reminded me of my time with a certain mortal. I pushed the thought away and refused to think about it again. I also had to persuade zalgo to let her be a pasta. Jeff knew without her doing so, if she remained in he mansion the others blood lust would take over and they would kill her. But he might just be stubborn enough to think he'll be able to protect her. I arrived at the mansions gates with open arms. "Finally. Home at last." I said to no one.

SHELBYS P.O.V

Jeff and I were laying on the sofa,watching TV as usual when Toby burst through one of the upstairs bedrooms. He grabed the remote and frantically turned the TV off,sending Jeff shooting up throwing his hands in the air. "What the he-" " jeff! Youve gotta get Shelby. Take her in your room go,hurry. Don't make any noises! Go! Now!!" He was acting like a madman pushing Jeff towards the staircase. I'd never seen him act like this. It was almost as if he was scared. He had tears threatining to spill at the peaks of his eyes, handing me a knife he told me to stay quite. That Jeff would protect me,whispering words like 'he's coming'. " Toby what the hell is your problem. Who's coming what are you talking about? " Jeff searched him for an explanation. We didn't realize it but Toby had been pushing us up the staircase and we were standing at Jeff's bedroom door now. He opened it and shoved us in,replying in only one word. A world that sent shivers through my body. "Slender," he said. Just before slamming the door in our faces.
JEFF'S P.O.V

No! No,no,no. If he wanted to kill her,I knew that I would have no way of stopping him. We were in his mansion,which just made it worse. I made Shelby hide in the closet and took my knife out of my jacket pocket,pressing my head to the door to get any movement, any sound of a faceless angry creature tearing off a living room door with a tentacle. Surprising all I heard was a door shut,then it went quiet again. Usually,if slendy was happy or mad, you could feel the emotions role off of him from the slight line of static he uses for communication,but I felt nothing and guessed he turned it off so no one would feel his presence. I was starting to get frustrated when someone opened the door,sending an in expecting me flying into the living room.

"Child,get off of the floor. We need to talk. Its about the girl." I quickly stood up from my vulnerable position on the floor. "Your not gonna touch her," I snapped,and lunged at him. Which was stupid. He picked his self up higher on his tentecles and I ended up taking a face plant into the wall behind him. "Don't be foolish Jeffrey I have no entention on-" I wasn't going to listen to a single word he said. The only thing on my mind was that I had to protect Shelby. This monster had already hurt her once and I was determined on not letting him do it again. Once again,a stupid mistake. The static communication line must've come back because a slight wave of anger rolled of of him as he picked me up, wrapping me in about a dozen tentacles. I knew it was no use struggling. This was often how he ended the lesson when we trained. The more I moved,the more his grip tightened. So I just wet limp. A rush of annoyance flowed off of him and hit me in the face. "I'm not going to hurt her,besides even if it was my intention,I know where you are hiding her. I can hear her thoughts,feel the fear and hatetred in them. " he sighed. " I can tell this is going to be harder than I thought." He motioned for Toby to come over. "Go get the girl out of the room. Tell her everything's alright,but tell her the truth. She will be scared at first,then don't force her out until she calms down. Explain to her why I'm here and that I need to speak with her emediatly." All the blood rushed out if my face. What was he planning to do to her?
Toby's P.O.V.

I did as slender told me and went to get the girl. So far.. Besides Jeff and slenderman... She was the only person I didn't stutter around. I cared for her because of that. I wanted to keep her safe. But slender had already explained to me that he wasn't going to hurt her. That he was in fact trying to help her,because no pasta can resist the erdge to kill in this household.

"Shelby" I knocked on the closet door softly,I knew she was there because that was going to be the only place she could hide. I pressed my ear to the door,but didn't hear a sound. "Shelby,i-_its OK you c-can come out now," the door gently clicked open and a shaken shelby walked out. "Why are you stuttering around me. I thought you were OK with me now.. You promised not to. You know how much it bothers me." I did promise. But only because every time I would stutter or twitch she would flinc away or leave the room with tears uin her eyes. "You're right I'm sorry. Listen,we need to talk Shelby." I gestured for her to sit on the bed and she obeyed. Grabbing my hands she looked at me with the biggest, saddest eyes I'd ever seen. "Did he get Jeff. Is he OK? Toby I can't go a year without ghim. Without him I'll have to leave,and I have nowere to go in the human world." I didn't know what yo say. "Shelby,as long as I'm here you are welcome in he slender mansion. Jeff's one ,that's not why we had to talk. I would like you not to interrupt, slenderman has come back to the mansion. And he wishes to speak with you. No fighting, he just wants to talk. And I'm afraid you have no choice. This is his mansion after all." All the blood rushed out of her cheeks and she almost fell off the bed. " what's this about? I do t want yo go out there with that,that thing. He hurt me toby,he was working with Ben,I don't want to go out with that monster." For some reason,her words hurt. I thought she was calling us all monsters. There was more to us than that. There was more before this. "Shelby you have no choice. You'll die in the mansion without his help. This is about you becoming a pasta."
