Though The Thorns

Chapter 4

(A/N: I know X-Vires is 17 in his Creepypasta, but for the story I'm turning him 14!)

(One week after the hatchet throwing meltdown.)

Ticci Toby's POV

Slender sent me on a simple slaughter mission. A group of eleven teens have been wandering around our woods, and getting a little too close for comfort. I spent all of yesterday watching the kids wander around to get a feel of who they were and how they act. This helped me create my master plan!

The first two will be easy, they are the smallest of the group, but once the first two are taken care of the other nine will be alerted of my presence. However, they will not be aware of Masky and Hoodie. That gives them the element of surprise. Hoodie and Masky Will shoot the four strongest then help me take the other five. BOMB! The perfect plan.

...

"Toby I swear to God if this mission sucks ass I'll never let you plan another ever again!" Masky threatened, pointing a rusty crowbar in my face.

"It's go-going -Gay bitch!- to work-k! You need to le-arn how to put f-faith in the ol' Ticster!" I say, flaunting my hatchets right back in his face.

"Can you two just shut up?" Hoodie asks, annoyed, "This is supposed to be a stealth mission."

...

"Sa-ay it!" I deman, pointing at Masky as we chope up and bury all the bodies.

"FIne! Your plan didn't fully suck ass," Masky mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"HAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!! Y-YES!" I cheer, laughing in Masky's face.

I see Brian smail at me and Tim's ignorant banter, and it makes me smile. They were my first, and until recently, my only friends. I love them so much, but now, I love Jack too.

"Hey, Toby, we're headed back, are you coming?" Brian asks.

"Oh, no, I th-think I'm go-ing to st-tay in the woods a little bit," I say, as Brian and Tim start walking hand in hand back to the house.

I wander through the woods, thinking about how real my newly found feelings for Jack are. Like I've known I'm gay for a while now, but I've never had such a real crush on someone before. Like, I've liked some boys at my old school, but I didn't feel as strongly about them as I do for Jack. When I look at Jack my head starts spinning and a tornado of butterflies fly in my stomach. He makes me feel like I'm the only person in the world that matters, and, since my sister passed, no one has done that for me.

I am kicking rocks and listening to the voices in my head hum along to Lovers Rock by TV Girl, when my ears pick up the sound of soft breathing from behind a tree near me. Someone's here.

I slowly walk behind the tree, hatchet in hand, but surprisingly all I see is a small boy. He looks around 13 or 14. He has goggles, much like mine, with blue lenses over his eyes, a black gas mask over his mouth, and poking out of his hood was tousled brown hair. Beside him was a travel bag full of green glowing syringes, and in his hand was a bloody bat with nails sticking out of it.

"Who are yo-ou" I ask, leaning my face closer to his.

"X-Virus," he answers simply.

"I'm T-Toby, Ticci Toby!" I explain excitedly, Pulling my face mack down and my goggles on top of my head. He pulls his bat closer to his chest, and that's when it clicks in my head.

"Ha-ve you been -Jack!- killing pe-people?" I ask, sitting down next to him.

"Y-yeah, my father was a scientist and I helped him in his lab. I started making my own viruses, and wanted to test them on humans, so I went to my neighbor's house and tried it. He died. I told my dad about it and he called the police on me, so I killed him with my bat, and went to my other neighbors houses to do more tests before the cops showed up. Now I'm here"

"You kn-ow what? I think you fit in perfectly with Slender's Proxies,"
