The mansion was consumed in flames. Bright orange and red burning the old grey and brown. Splendor held Sally in his arms as he darted away from the building. "What on Earth is happening?" Valerie cried, dragging her sister and a luggage with her. "I don't know sis, but in the Shadow Realm, out residence is burning down." Sarcasm is completely unnecessary.

Jeff carried Smile in his arms, Ben cradling Grinny.

Toby was shouting swears as Slender took things from the flames. Clothes, pictures, blankets, his tentacles pulled them from the recharge as the other members of the Slender family dumped buckets of water upon the mansion. Vanessa stared in disbelief. How has this happened? How was this caused?

The flames drastically stopped. The house looking as though the fire had never existed. Only water remained where it had been thrown to douse the flames. A retched laughter filled the air of the dark forest. All the Creeps spawned their weapons, ready to defend them self at any moment. All attention was turned to the source of laughter, a sharp dressed man on the roof. A few questioned who he was. But Three knew all too well.

"Zalgo." Vanessa growled as her blade like claws extended from her knuckles. The laughter continued. "Ah, good show my favorite Creeps. Look at all of you! So ready to fight and defend each other. Even through a little fire." He shifted, creature like features replacing the human ones. "What is your business here?" Slender shouted. His featureless face creasing in anger. Zalgo laughed again, voice contorting and cracking with madness. "Business? Business! I have no business with youuuuU!"

His voice pierced through the ears of all of them. Toby reached out and clutched Vanessa's hand. Her ears twitched furiously. "But I happen to be here for my sweetesT little ki-ki-ki-kitTens. I will not be denied my darlings. Not when tHere are twoooOOOoo." Valerie's ears flattened to her head, Vanessa's did the same. They held to each other's hand, black and white joined together.

Zalgo stared upon the group. "You can't beat us!" Slender shouted. "There's only one of you!" The woods around then rustled in horrendous harmony. "As If I'd Come Alone." Grey skin stretched over bone like appendages appeared through the trees. Terrible screeching filled the air. White fangs glittering with saliva jutting out of a mouth too small for them. Rake.

Seed Eater fell from the sky, horrendous face spreading apart to reveal his horrific mouth. "It's not enough, Zalgo! That's three. There are so many more of us!" It was true.

Himself, Vanessa, Valerie, Sally, Toby,Dr. Smiley, Masky, Hoodie, Jack, L.J., E.J., Ben, Jeff, Jane... Everyone. Even Painter was here, over for the day to say hello to Dr. So many of them, ready to drop their lives upon the line for each other. It was just the creeps way.

Zalgo shifted, his human body morphing to something worse, black ink-like limbs stretching out towards the group in rapid motions. His horrendous laugh floating about in the air. The ground shakes as darts of black rocks and tar shoot from the ground, catching on the clothes of the unfortunate standing by. Poor henchmen appeared from the ground, surrounding the group. "Stop it! Stop, Zalgo! I'll go!" Valerie yelled as a dart struck Vanessa, sending her flying.

Silence covered the group. Vanessa pulled herself from the ground, spitting blood from her mouth. The dart had pulled open her stitches as it caught at her stomach. Toby rushed towards her, beating Seed Eater out of the way. Around the pair clangs of metal and flesh filled the atmosphere. "Val, Valerie no, you can't." Vanessa stood and walked towards her sister, only to be blown back by another dark from the ground.
"Zalgo! Stop it! Leave my sister alone! I'll go with you just leave my family be!" She yelled, her fist connecting with the hideous inky creatures from the ground. Se walked before the house, watching as the man lowered himself to the ground. "Really? You come with me?" He leaned forward, face close to the poor cat girl. Valerie held back a hiss and she leaned away from him. "Call off your men. Let my family be." With a wave of his hand the creatures were gone, the ground was back to normal, and the Seed Eater and Rake were standing at attention. Sally whimpered as Splendor looked at her injuries, a broken arm. Vanessa was coughing up blood as Toby held her to his chest. Jane and Jeff stood back to back, knives at the ready. Ben wrung blood out of his hair. Valerie bit her lip, looking over her friends an cataloging their wounds. E.J. and Jack were taking turns picking thorns from each other. Slender looked beyond pissed while he tended to Tim and Brian, who were trying to protect him during the fight.
"If you leave them alone. I'll go with you." Valerie stated, facing the monster before her. Zalgo grinned, returning to his human form. "You have my word, dear. no harm shall come to then again." The white haired women nodded. "Now what?" He pat her head. "I'll come for you tomorrow, give you time to say your good byes and pack your belonging. You'll be living with me. She hesitated slightly, looking him over. "Will I be allowed to see my sister?" The man simply smiled and nodded, waving the other to monsters away. "Of course, my darling. What kind if monster do you take me for?" She didn't answer that, but Vanessa called from her place on the ground "An ugly one." "Rude." Zalgo stuck his nose up. "I shall be taking my leave. Prepare yourself, Kitty. You'll be my new little pet."
With that he vanished, and the monsters he left ran off. "Everyone in the mansion, now!"
-Time hop-
Every on Gathered in the meeting room after their injuries were treated. Vanessa groaned as Toby held her. "I can walk Tobster, I didn't break my leg like Brian." He hushed her. "I-I'm gonna carry you. Deal w-with it." Sally whined as she scratched at her cast. "It's itchy." Slender stood before them, a serious look on his blank face, well as close to serious as he could get. "Now, do we know why we are here?" "Because we got our asses handed to us by a person with a cat kink?" Jane provided. Snickers and chuckles passed through the room. "Not only that," the suited man began, "But someone decided they were going to go with him, even though they don't have the authority to do that, and now we have to think of how to get them out of it."
Valerie sighed. "I'm not getting out of this. And who are you to say that I don't have the authority? While we were out there getting our asses kicked I decided to stop it. If I don't go then we'll just keep fighting him!" "Valerie, shut the fuck up. Seriously. You literally threw yourself into this situation without even thinking about it. Do you know what he's going to do to you?" Valerie locked eyes with her sister, a deep frown on her face. "Why exactly will happen to me?" "I can't tell you exactly, but you'll wake up in his bed, feeling safe. Then you'll realize you have no pants on. It's dark and it's terrifying and all you'll be able to here is static. Overwhelming static. And then you're asleep again. My point is he'll do anything he wants to you and you won't be able to stop him."
Toby pet Vanessa's head gently. "Calm d-down." "Nessie, I know you're concerned, but I have to. It's for your own safety." Slender groaned. "Will you two stop fighting? We're here to think of ways to keep you both safe. Zalgo wanted you both. Which means he might not be satisfied with one." "Wait you're just going to let her go?" "Yes, Ness. I have too." Vanessa coughed again. "You fucking suck man, oh my god, fine!" She went limp, causing Toby to stumble as he shifted to hold her properly. "We'll start packing her up then. Onward, Tobemiseter."
Valerie led the way to her room, here Slender give orders to start checking for any traps and to further tend to the wounds of everyone. Vanessa held onto Toby, lips pulled into a pout. This sucks ass." She muttered, pressing her face to his chest. "I know, babe. I-I know. Valerie opened her door. "I guess we should start with my clothes and blankets."
-Another time hop-
After packing pretty much everything into a pretty big box Valerie put another outfit into her satchel, a sewing kit, and a book. "I guess this is my last night here." She looked at the wooden floor, scratching at her neck. "Anyone know what's for dinner?"
The three headed down the stairs, Vanessa finally walking on her own. "I don't know what is being cooked but I want to eat it. It smells great." The other to agreed as they headed into the kitchen/living room. Tim, Brian, and Jeff were cooking and drinking, not really a good mix. Brian's left leg was wrapped up in a cast, which he was swinging from his seat on a stool. Tim was pressing face against his neck and Jeff was telling them to get a room. "Hey guys." Valerie waved as she went to the fridge, pulling out a can of something red. Vanessa reached in for something purple. "Sweet." the chimed together as they looked at their cans. They then switched and opened them. "Grape flavored crush is gross." Vanessa teased. "Well cherry crush is an abomination." Valerie stuck her tongue out before taking a sip. "I call bullshit." Toby chuckled as he pulled out a can if orange crush. "Orange, original, crush is the best. Hands down." The three began a playful argument over superior flavors. Jeff chuckled. "Strawberry all the way broskie." They all began laughing. Tim tried sneaking out with Brian, who tripped and almost sent them both tumbling. The sight causing Vanessa to snort. The sound leading everyone to laugh harder. "Awe, babe, you snort? That's hilarious." "Oh my god, step off Toby." Slender walked in on the groups of nearly adult teens who were laughing like dorks. "Dinner is ready, children. He trend and headed for the dining room. They followed behind, Toby playfully slapping at Vanessa rear, which she simply giggle at and pretend threatened him with her claws.
They all took their seats at random plates, which had some weird fish and rice on it. "Yes." Valerie and Vanessa fist bumped, it was their favorite. Slowly everyone filled into the table, five seats at the end were empty, saved for future people. When everyone was finally seated the room fell silent. The good mood started to fall as they all realized why they were eating this. It was Valerie's favorite. It was Valerie's last night at the mansion. "So um," the white haired girl started. "It was very nice being here" She mumbled, looking around at everyone. "I, uh, hope to see you all very often, even if I won't be living here." A few people muttered a "I'll miss you, too." Vanessa hugged her sister. "We'll miss you dork. I'll miss you." Her sister smiled. "I'll miss you, too, Nessie."
Everyone began to eat, some smiling, some not. Ben rested his head on Jeff's shoulder, Toby held tightly to Vanessa hand. Clockwork gave Jane a quick hug. It was actually a bit sad. They were all family. A big, fucked up, and creepy family.
-The next day-
Valerie carried her box outside with the help of her sister. Carefully the put it on top of the Rake, who would be escorting her to Zalgo's palace. Sally gave Valerie a drawing of a chicken with it's head cut off, written in red lettering "think of me" at the bottom. "It's beautiful, thank you Sally." Everyone gave the girl a hug goodbye together in a big group hug. Vanessa made her promise to visit before handing her sister a hand made hat. Slender walked out last, hugging the girl for a final time, kissing her forehead. "Now remember, if anything goes wrong we will come after you. We will take you from him if he hurts you." Valerie nodded, a small smile on her face. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." He scratched behind her ear one last time before retreating inside.
Valerie walked down the porch steps, the ones that she had so many memories on. She looked up at the mansion that she had lived in for almost a year. All the happy times, and all the sad ones, the memories will stay here forever.
She walked over to the Rake, climbing onto his back and preparing to ride off. As the monster began to walk away she stared at the mansion as it got smaller. It was no longer her home. She saw Vanessa peak out from the door and wave. She waved right back at her.
Valerie kept her head up the entire way to Zalgo's palace. She wanted to know how to get back to the mansion if she ever needed to. It was a simple path, but took quite a while to reach. The palace was beautiful. Black and red stone that glimmered like marbel. Bushes of white roses in the front. A tower on either side. It looked so out of place in the woods.
She stepped down from the Rake and was greeted by two henchmen. They took her box and carried it inside. The cat girl waited a moment longer before following them inside of the palace. It was beautiful on the inside as well. A marble floor, black and gold tables with white vases of red roses. A grand stairway in the center of the room. Zalgo sat at one if the tables, sniffing idly at the flowers. He wore a white button up, a black vest and black dress pants. Valerie felt very underdressed in jeans and a hoodie. "I'm here." She stated blandly. Zalgo smiled broadly and rang a small bell before standing up and walking over to her. "Hello my dear kitten!" He knelt down and tucked a strand if white hair behind her ear. "I hope you are prepared for the many good time we will have together."
A small cough caught the attention of the two. "Oh, there you are Silver. Please show Ms. Valerie to her room." The small pale boy simply nodded before holding out his hand. "This way madam." She took his hand and allowed him to lead her up the stairs. They turned down the west corridor and Valerie gasped. The carpet was a deep red, the walls adorned in old paintings, and vases of white and black roses covered the wall. The boy, Silver, led her even farther down. As they passed a white door with a crown on it he muttered a quiet "That's Princess' room." He continued and stopped by a black door. "Liu's room." Then to a red door. This is my room. You can c-come and ask me for directions i-if you ever n-need to." Finally they ended in front of another white door. "This is y-your room. Sir has left a gown in there for you to wear to dinner tonight. Y-you also have a bathroom to yourself. I-if you need anything I'm down the hall." With that he left Valerie outside the door.
Calmly she opened the door into a beautiful room. The carpet was a put white, which made her feel obligated to slip off her shoes. She sat them by the door and looked around. The walls were black and white striped, every piece if furniture was a pure black, accented with gold or white. A large bed with a canopy was in the center of the room. It's frame was black and the sheets were white with red lace and stitches. Side tables were black with gold handled drawers. White glass vases were on top of them filled with large red roses. A large wardrobe was off to the side, next to a window with black curtains. A dresser was on the opposite wall of the bed, a television sitting on it. A few feet from the dresser was a door that led to the bathroom. Everything was either porcelain, marble, or glass. There were red and black towels sitting beneath the counter and two on the rack. The mirror took up the entire space above the counter. It was elegant for a washroom.
Valerie made her way to the bed and looked at what must be the gown Zalgo had chosen for her. It was black and red, and for a moment she thought of her sister. How Vanessa's ears would poke out of her tattered red hat. Valerie smiled at the familiar thought. She then turned her attention to her box of belongings. She sat her bag next to it and pulled out a picture. It was of her, Vanessa, Toby, and E.J. They had all went on a double date in the human realm. It was lovely really, but E.J. was like her kid brother now. Valerie set the picture on one of the side tables. "So this is my new life. I could get used to this." She lifted the gown to gauge how itchy and uncomfortable it would be, but found the fabric soft and silky. Maybe it was silk.
She stripped quietly and folded her clothes and put them on the bed. The she lifted the gown and carried it to the bathroom. A shower would be nice. Then the dress.
-A shower later-
Valerie slipped into the dress and smiled at the nice fit. It was sleeveless, and fell to her ankles. It pinched at her barely there hips and billowed out it want she could only describe as classy ruffles. Her clothing was missing and in there place a note and rose. She lifted the black flower before reading.
'Dearest Valerie,
Do not worry over a thing. Here everything shall be done for you. My best wishes,
Zalgo.'
Valerie snorted at his note. So she didn't have to lift a finger. Fine by her.
The cat girl began to brush her damp hair, letting it fall to it's full length around her elbows. "Did they take all of my hair ties, too?" A small knock on the door ceased her wondering. When she opened it she was met by a rather plump and short girl, who she could only guess to be "Princess?" The women squealed in delight. "Aren't you just the prettiest little thing I ever did see?" She shoved into the room past Valerie over to the black vanity on the wall. "Now come have a seat and let me make you look like a queen." Valerie slowly walked over and had a seat. "And why are you doing this?" "Well, because the big guy told me to. Now let me see this lovely hair of yours. Now you usually braid this? I think I'll leave some of it down. give him something to play with. Valerie simply lifted a brow at her. "Alright, do whatever the hell you want. I won't stop you." Princess giggled. "Strong language, as you should know, is not allowed at the dinner table."
-One makeover later-
Valerie had to admit, she looked damn hot after Princess was done with her. Silver was now leading her down the stairs to the dining room. He was dashingly dressed in a simply button up and slacks. "You look b-beautiful." Were his exactly words. She smiled. "You look very nice as well."
He took her into a room with red walls and a marble floor that sounded each step she took in the heels she had on. At the head if the table Princess sat with a boy, who Valerie assumed was Liu. And another girl and boy. Zalgo sat across from an empty seat, which Silver sat Valerie down in. "My dear, you look ravishing this evening." Valerie rolled her eyes. "Yeah. This dress is fucking cool."
Princess gasped. "Language m'lady." Zalgo simply waved his hand. "Now, now, Princess. She's been living with brutes for a long time. We can't hold anything against her." "Except for maybe your body, hot damn." She winked at Silver in a joking way. He held back a small chuckle at the look that Zalgo gave. "That I highly lewd, Valerie. Not at all dinner conversation." "Whoops. I think I left my box of fucks to give back at the "brutes" mansion." Liu began to giggle at her antics. "Now Valerie, I am trying to treat you nicely. I do not want to have to silence you by force." "Oh, you mean like how you forced me to come here?"
"You chose to be here." Valerie shrugged and sipped from the glass in front of her. Wine. Yeah, true. But only after you sliced open my sister." Zalgo growled. "Eat your dinner. We'll talk later."
-After dinner-
'Talk Later' is apparently code for hate snogging in the television room.
Valerie could get used to living here.
