It's been a week since Cody died.

I was definitely doing much better, by that I mean I wasn't crying constantly when the thought of him crossed my mind. Some of you may be wondering why I had such a strong reaction to this, there are many reasons really but the main ones include the fact that I had repressed the thought of someone dying. I wasn't mentally prepared for someone to die, not yet anyways. This is the first death where I actually knew the person personally, i've never experienced it before. Lastly, everything just hit me all at once. My family. My friends. I was in a house with murderers. I had KISSED two of them. I was trapped. I was a demon with a demon brother. It just swirled around me crashing at that single moment when I entered my room. I was doing so well before, too well if I was being honest I just took it in stride not thinking to much. I missed him, his laugh, his full of life eyes, all of it. Funny really how much you can change in less than a month, I didn't even register it was my 20th birthday when it came round. 

I didn't speak to anyone, choosing to stay quiet behind my mask which I haven't taken off once since putting it on when I woke up from my forced sleep. Ej visited and kept trying to get me to talk but I refused, others tried, hell even Jeff tried. There has been no missions, nothing. Everything just seemed to have stopped.

I was sat on my bed staring at the wall in front of me when static started to fill my head, I instinctively covered my ears trying to block it to no use. "Come see me child." The voice bounced around my head before I felt the familiar feeling of lose of control take over me and I stood walking. I didn't fight it this time. Walking down the hallway, the stairs appeared and my body walked up until I was stood outside of the door unmoving. I heard steps from behind me but didn't bother seeing who it was just staring forward until the figure stood besides me, Daniel. I had no hard feelings towards him, yes he killed Cody but he didn't really have much of a choice it was him or Cody and his want for life was higher than Cody's. Neither of us spoke just staring at the door in front of us. After a minute of staring the door entered and we walked in one after the other until the control left my body and I was able to control my limbs once again. "Sit." I heard Slender man say, we both complied sitting on the two chairs that sat neatly in front of the desk. He turned around facing us, "I have given you both the week to heal but I am growing impatient with the both of you." He sounded irritated, I didn't say a word and neither did Daniel. "You are both Proxies now, you need to work. In this state you can't therefore i'm gonna have to do something which I haven't had to do since Masky and Hoodie..." I tilted my head slightly, what did he do with Masky and Hoodie? What is he going to do with us? My thoughts were cut off when pain took over my whole body, Daniel screaming out besides me feeling the same pain. I didn't scream as first, I contained it by gritting my teeth but soon enough the familiar feeling started rising in my throat before bursting out my mouth.

Snap.

Then it stopped.

I stared forward blinking madly, taking the mask off of my face to regulate my breathing. I felt free? I don't know how to explain it but it felt as if the strings of pain had just been cut. I couldn't help the maniacal smile crossing my face. Oh it felt so good. I turned to see Daniel smirking slightly. Our sanity was gone, I knew that much. The thought of Cody's dead body which once made me crumbling in sadness now making me wish I had been the one to take his life away. "Now how about we get started?" Slender man said, me and Daniel both nodded. "Daniel, I would like you to name someone in mansion who you would like to work under?" Daniel thought for a moment, "Liu." I smirked, they would make quite the pair I thought. "Very well I will inform him soon, your training will start tomorrow. You may leave." and with a curt nod from Daniel he left the room leaving just me and Slender man. "Now, Jess. I have thought about it and I want you to be one of my main proxies." He paused for a moment before continuing, "You will be working alongside, Masky, Hoodie and Toby. Think of it as being my right hand men." I nodded, this sounded fun. "We need to give you a name, one that fits you, think of it as a villain name per say." I thought for a moment but couldn't seem to find one I liked, Slender man noticed this, "I could pick the name for you if you would like?" He said tilting his head, "Yes sir." I said almost instantly. He stared at me for a moment or two before he spoke, "Heartstopper." I hummed, "Heartstopper." I whispered testing it out, I liked it but why heartstopper? "Sir do you mind me asking why that name?" I asked curiously. "I've been watching you closely Jess, there are two main reason's behind it. The first being you prefer to eat the heart compared to the other organs and two you seem to have that affect on those around you." I furrowed my eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by that?" I asked referring to the end of the sentence, "Don't worry about it child, you'll figure it out." What the hell could he mean by that?

He sent me on my way after this not letting me question further the last thing he said to me was that he would let the others know and that we will have a mission to complete next week which apparently I'll enjoy. I strutted down the stairs feeling a whole new sense of confidence, I saw Ej at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me, "Hey Jess, you okay?" He asked looking at me questioningly. "I'm good brother, how are you?" I asked smiling at him softly.
