Today or Tomorrow, But never Later. (Eyeless Jack x Ticci Toby)

Ch. 13

3rd POV

As Eyeless patched Toby up, Sally stayed close. She was upset to see her friends hurt but she didn't know medical things like EJ, so she watched him whenever she could.
After a good hour, Eyeless finally finished and sat down heavy in one of the kitchen chairs, feeling many sad and distressed emotions at once. The silence was thick until sally floated over and hugged the conflicted male, "Is he ok now Mr. Eyeless?", her tiny voice sounded so far away to him. "He's going to live. Now why were you down here young miss?" Eyeless tried to be cheerful for the young spirit yet he still felt the presences of guilt looming.

As the day progressed, Toby remained asleep so Eyeless took it upon himself to take him all the way to his room upstairs. If the other beings of this hellhole see Toby this way, they'd definitely pin this over jacks head for any other two years.

Toby POV

When I wake, the last thing I recalled was that voice and the lady in the accident. I swear I feel my heart ache at the thought of her. . Yet, who is she to me? And why did I see her in the wreckage?

My head aches more as I sat up, scanning the familiar surroundings, I was back in my room. I go to stretch as one does while shaking off sleep, then I heard the tiniest pop, but it wasn't my bones this time. I recoil my arms as I felt a discomforting sensation over the left side of my torso, so I dared to glance under the thin shirt I was put in to. Instant regret pooled in my stomach as I see four long-ish gashes and stitches running a long my ribs. There was a gauze pad originally placed over the wounds but it came off while I was out cold, and notably it began bleeding again do to my stretch popping a stitch.

Groaning to myself, searching for anything around to catch the crimson trickles, conveniently finding the gauze pad just under the sheets as I tossed them aside. While I sat and held my side, I thought of how things didn't add up. I clearly remember pulling a lady from a burning car, I remembered feeling the blistering heat of fire and piercing shards of glass. Yet as I stood and checked, I never saw an scorch marks, not a single one on my snow white figure.

  Feeling the exhaustion creeping quickly, I decided I wanted answers, and not just a simple reply. Wasting no more of my limited up-time, I took each step down to the basement with caution as the mansion seemed eerily empty.   Just as I thought, here was Eyeless, but he's tending to a yellow hooded male, I didn't want to intrude so I sat on the last stair feeling a sway occur. I was losing my steadiness as my exhaustion crept.
  After another few minutes of waiting and thinking of what to say or ask, the yellow hoodie came into slightly blurred view. Was he lacking a face? I couldn't tell.

The gauze pad had been working to stop the bleeding but not the weakness I felt, I could barely move away as the other male walked right up to me and hoisted my with all too much ease. I was lolling, body practically limp as I was brought into Eyeless's presence. I felt the cool of the surface I was placed on, not being able to tell much aside from that, though I soon felt the very careful hands remove my hands from my sides. I gave in to my dismay, simply letting the male work to re-stitch the few broken ones. As he did so, I realized I wasn't going to be able to talk with Eyeless in this state, but I desperately wanted answers.

Feeling a few gentle tugs of the skin told me he just finished knotting the last stitch, the room was thick with silence as Eyeless cleaned up around the room, maybe. I couldn't tell what he was doing now, but I was lifted again several minutes later to a softer surfaces, a bed?

Eyeless Jack POV

After I had taken the calmly ticking male to his sleeping quarter and rested him as comfortably as possible. I fled back to my dungeon, hopefully no one could sense my distress as I kept my head down in the buzzing halls. I felt sorry and almost scared for Toby, he is brand new and now his injured greatly, his own life was threatened by my demons.

I had been stressing over how the smaller male would wake. Will he recall the events? Will he try killing me back? Will he torture me like all the others?

I was ripped from my head when Masky came loudly running down the stairs with Hoodie, his partner in crime, slung over his shoulder. Immediately I switch off my feelings, another resident needs my aid, I can't work diligently if I'm distracted. Once in my makeshift operating room with the other males, I point to the body table then the single door we all came through, Masky knew well of Eyeless and rested his friend before leaving.

Turning my attention to Hoodie, who sat up and began removing the ripped pants so I could examine the injury. There was a significant amount of blood from his left leg, I'd have to fill out a paper after the procedure, but now I focus on cleaning and stitching the ripped tissues back together. After everything is said and done, I sit at the desk opposite to the body table, "Cause of injury?" I read the document aloud soullessly, "Knife." the hooded male didn't need to be loud to be heard in the silence of the room. "Take a week off, you'll be healed be then." Eyeless recommend.

Mostly everyone in the Slender Mansion understands that they can't die, they can be killed but it's the same every time. You wake up in your room like nothing happened, even though the serial killers here are rarely killed. There's the few slip ups every now and then but no one talks about it, they just live with no consequences or care.

Once done with Hoodie, I assume he saw something I didn't because he was looking in one direction for a little before leaving the room. I just cleaned off the table as I carefully hear Hoodie returning with a second heart beat. Frozen, I inwardly curse, taking a regretful glance as he wordlessly placed... Toby on my table then left the basement.
