It had been almost two weeks since I arrived at this strange house. I had been placed in a room that was like an apartment, it had its own bathroom, it was quite small, it had a very small standing showing. My room also had a small kitchen with a small fridge, a sink and some cabinet space. The rest of the room had a table in the corner, there was also a couch and then there was a wall divider, my bed was on the other side of it. My superiors told me that it would be in my best interest to stay in my room. I hear loud voices and sounds sometimes. My guess is that those are the other people who live here. My superiors warned that the doors don't lock and if they did, it wouldn't stop most people here so I had started pushing my dresser up against the door but everyday I find groceries outside my door, normal things like canned food, candy and cereal. When the fights around here get bad I find medical kits outside my door, I now have 28 of those in my room, and that's like two fights a day.

If fights around here get that violent I guess my superiors were right in saying that I shouldn't leave my room but today I was experiencing a bit of cabin fever because I've been in this room for two weeks straight, don't get me wrong it was a nice room but I want to at least try to make a couple friends in this place. I went over to my dresser and pushed it out of the way slowly before opening my door and leaving my room and heading down the long hallway with rooms on either side. I went down a staircase that led to some sort of living room. I watched in confusion as a man with long black hair with a smile carved into his face was throwing a smaller dude that looked like an elf across the room, my guess it was one of those fights I kept hearing. I honestly didn't know any of these, my superiors had just walked through the hall telling me names then telling me to stay away from them if I valued my life. As I was just watching the fight go down, I was grabbed and stared at by a chick with a pocket watch in one of her eye sockets. She just stared at me until another chick approached with burned skin while wearing a white mask that had black lips. "Did a random person sneak in again?" The man with the carved smile came over and held his knife up "Maybe we should kill him."

I had to say something or else I'd probably die "I'm a p-p-proxy!" The girl with clock let me go but still stared at me "Oh, it's the new kid" she said before walking away but the man with carved smile grabbed my throat, pinning to the wall, his knife inches from my throat "I don't care who you are, I'm still gonna kill you!" I shut my eyes tightly before hearing a voice "That's enough Jeff, put him down!" I opened my eyes to see my superiors Masky and Hoodie standing nearby. Hoodie had his arms crossed while Masky just stood there, I felt like he was glaring at Jeff. I was dropped as Jeff stormed away, that Jane girl was glaring at Jeff, maybe she didn't like him either. Hoodie came over to me and helped me up before Masky snapped at me a bit "I told you to stay in your room!" I just looked but what I saw next had me shocked. The dude I know is Jeff ran at Masky, trying to stab him but Masky dodged every attack but he then grabbed an old wooden chair and broke over Jeff's back causing Jeff to fall to the floor. I took that chance to make a run for it back upstairs but soon heard footsteps behind, I looked and saw Jeff causing me to run faster but I bumped into someone. I looked up to see a tall man with black sockets staring down at me, I quickly ran behind him to hide. Jeff ran into the man which the man quickly grabbed Jeff by his hair and slammed him into the wall but Jeff soon realized who was holding him and got scared "Who h-hey buddy! I didn't m-mean to run into" I heard the man growl at Jeff which shut him up "Don't call me Buddy." Jeff quickly nods as the man let him go "R-right, sorry about that Jack! I'll be going now" Jeff then ran down the hall in fear.

The man I now know is Jack then pinned me against the wall and started sniffing and feeling my body but not in a weird way. I heard Masky speak "Leave him be Jack. He's the new proxy." Jack looked in Masky's general direction then back at me as he sniffed my face before letting me go and started to walk away "He's not worth eating anyways. Not much meat so it's worthless." soon he disappeared down the hall, I looked at Masky who looked like he was glaring at me, he then grabbed my arm and dragged me back to my room, shoving me inside "Next time, listen to me when I say to stay in your room Toby." Masky then slams my door shut, I just walked over to the couch in my room and sat down, just thinking about everything that had happened today.

I got up and went over to my bed and just laid down, trying to sleep but I couldn't so I just laid there staring at either the wall or the ceiling I honestly just wanted to go home but there was no home I could go back to, this was my new 'home' and I had to adjust to it in order to survive. While I was trying to sleep I heard my floor creak, I opened my eyes to Jeff standing over me, at that moment I remembered that I had forgotten to move the dresser when I had come into the room. Jeff tried to stab me but I rolled away just in time, I fell onto the floor but I quickly got me and started running, Jeff chased after me. Maybe I could go to Maksy's room but I couldn't remember where exactly it was so I went into a room I thought was Masky's room, I ran into Jack again, my eyes widen before dodged before he could grab me, instead he grabbed Jeff which made Jeff afraid as he starts struggling to get away but Jack didn't let go of Jeff.

I heard Jack growl at Jeff before throwing him out of the room "You step one foot inside my room again and I'll rip your arm off." Jeff quickly climbed to his feet and away from Jack again but then Jack shut his door before looking down at me, grabbing me by the hair and pinning me to the wall before sniffing me again which I still thought was quite odd "Oh. It's you again. Normally people avoid me but I've run into you twice today." he then opened his room and threw me out "Never come to this place." I slowly stood and looked at Jack before he shut the door. I took off running back to my room, slamming the door shut and pushing the dresser in front of it. I went over to my bed and curled up in a ball, trying not to cry but I started crying just wanted to go home, I soon cried myself to sleep.
