Jeff and the Succubus [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 16 - Ding Dong, The B-- Is Dead

Author's P.O.V

All of the inhabitants of the house were sound asleep on the couch. Except of course, for their slender demon landlord. Candie cradled Sally protectively in her lap, though her head tilted back off the couch, drool slowly leaking from the side of her mouth as she snored lightly. E.J.'s hood covered his face as his head tilted back on the cushion with his arms crossed, as to not touch anybody; his inky tears drained from his eyes and down his neck to make a mess of his collar. Hoodie and Masky leaned against each other, making Masky's mask slip up. Jeff, the most unruly of those on the couch, was slouched over the arm of the couch, his eyes unfocused and red and drool spilling from his scar rather unattractively. BEN lay across Lulu's lap like a little kid, while Lulu's head rested against Candie's knee. Toby and L.J. lay back to back on the floor, L.J.'s freakishly long arms stretched out in front of him and Toby's goggles were pushed off his head and lay a bit away from him. Standing in the doorway of the living room, Slenderman watched the scene before him disapprovingly. To the unknown, and quite out of place, person, it'd only seem as though a group of young adults fell asleep together. To Slender, a bunch of disobedient children were taking up his space. With a heavy sigh, he soundlessly stepped over Toby and L.J. and carefully pulled Sally from Candie's iron grip, almost waking them in the process. Once he had the girl, he went back to his place in the doorway and covered Sally's ears as he sent a wave of white noise through the minds of the others. The screeching in their heads woke them all, screaming and groaning in agony as their vision was blurred with static. Some fell off the couch in shock, writhing in pain, others curled into the fetal position and gripped their heads as tears filled their eyes. After what felt like hours of agony, was actually only seconds before it finally stopped.

"What the fuck, Slendy?!" Jeff yelled, before wincing and grabbing his throbbing head. He tried to stand, not realizing how bad his eyes had dried out, and only stumble back into his seat. "Fuck, I can't see."

"Here," Candie mumbled, her head slowly healing to a bearable state, and went over to place her hands over his eyes. He snatched away from her angrily but she quickly covered them with a sigh and healed his eyes.

"Now, what's wrong with a simple 'Rise and Shine!'?" Candie sighed, turning to Slendy, using her magic to heal the room a bit.

"You should not waste your energy like that," Slender tilted his head, Sally in one arm as he stroked her hair lovingly.

"I do what I want with my magic, answer my question." Candie glared at him.

"Yeah, what's with the rude awakening?" Lulu joined in quietly, helping BEN off of the floor.

"Did I not tell you all that we would be leaving this morning?" His voice remained calm, but Slendy was more than angry with those before him.

"So, we overslept. We can go to the Under Realm any time." Hoodie shrugged, fixing Masky's mask.

"We need the time to construct a plan and fill Candie in on everything that will be happening. As well as protect Sally and Lulu from Zalgo." Slendy explained.

"The little brat can more than handle herself. And Lulu can manage," Jeff grunted, wiping drool from his face.

"She's still but a child, Jeffrey." Slendy's voice rose a bit in annoyance.

"How about your brother's house?" BEN asked, scratching the back of his head.

"Offender is the only one whom is currently in the Under Realm and I would die before leaving her in his hands." Slendy's facial area creased in disgust.

"Oh, I doubt he'd do anything to a child," L.J.'s odd voice made it seem as if he were unsure himself of his statement.

"We should just leave her here, then. It's not a journey for kids anyway." Masky pointed out.
