Permanent Blood, Temporary Smoke

Six

Back at the mansion, a boy with raven hair was speaking to a blonde haired boy as he played a game. The door opened and three people walked in. A tall figure in a suit was talking to the other two about something. Listening in on the conversation, the first two boys could barely make out what was going on.

"I will let the others know about those two." The tall figure said.

"What do you want us to do in the meantime?" The boy in a black and white mask asked.

"Just keep an eye on them for now."

"Yes sir!" The two masked boys said in unison.

"Hey, EJ! What's going on?" The blonde boy called out.

"Hmm? Oh, two people were spotted in the city where Kagekao and I hang out. We might bring them in." Eyeless Jack tells him.

Turning towards the living room, Slenderman called the others except the four that were already downstairs. He explained the situation to them before heading to his office.

The boy on the couch looked at the two masked men and groaned. More people? He started toying with his signature weapon, a kitchen knife, before getting off the couch. He stood up and said he was going out for a bit.

While he walked, he kept getting distracted by his thoughts. He wasn't paying attention because he ran into someone. After he fell, he looked up to see none other than that of the Rake.

"Shit." the raven haired teen muttered.

"What brings you here, Jeffrey?" The creature asked in a hissing tone.

"That's none of your business, you scrawny, skinwalker looking reject." Jeff snapped back, anger seeping through his leathery voice.

Jeff stood up once again and turned to walk in the opposite direction, away from the skinny, grey creature. He continued on until he heard voices.

"Hold still, Xana." a male said.

"But it hurts so bad, Marionette!" a girl, Xana he assumed, whined.

The voices were coming off of Jeff's right so he investigated. Sure enough, two people sat on a rotten porch and one of them seemed to be hurt.

"If you are good, I'll get you some of your favorite dango!" the boy, Marionette, sang.

The girl went still, drool started to fall from her mouth onto the ground.

'Were these the two Slenderman was talking about?' Jeff thought to himself as he stayed hidden behind a large tree.

He didn't seem to notice a female figure that was sneaking up behind him. She had a knife in her hand and she held it tightly. That's when she accidentally stepped on an unforeseen twig which made a loud SNAP!  Turning around, Jeff sneered as he prepared to fight his longtime enemy, Jane the Killer.
