OK so, a little while back I mentioned that I was introducing a new character, made by me. :) so here's her own chapter, she's gonna help get sally back.
Yes, it is a girl.
Her name is renaye, but she's called red. More of her story will be reveled in the next book.
Anyway, enjoy!
Toby pulled into, yet another driveway. This one, Liu seemed to recognize instantly.
"Toby, back out." Liu said sternly. Toby chuckled lightly, continuing to trudge the car forward into the muddy driveway.
"Where are we?" Jack asked.
"We're here to see r--"
"Don't say her fucking name." Liu interrupted sternly. Toby looked back at him through the mirror, watching as he stared angrily out the window. Toby would've stopped and backed out if this situation wasn't as serious as it was.
Soon, Toby brought the car to a slightly rough stop. They all sat there in silence.
"Listen, Liu." Toby sighed, unbuckling his seat belt and straightening up, "you don't have to go inside. You won't even have to talk to her. But, we're doing this for Sally. We need all the.. Muscle and strength and agility we can get to beat slender. So, right now I need you to push your past to the fucking side."
Liu stared out the window, the same angry face. He thought for about 20 seconds before everyone else started to exit the car. He didn't know if he wanted to get out...

Jane walked up, leading the group, and knocked on the large red door attached to the white family house. There was a long dead silence before the door opened. There stood a medium sized, very slender, freckled, red head. She exchanged looked between the group, then noticed Jane and her face contorted into a smile. She hugged Jane tightly and Jane hugged back, just as tight.
"I missed you, red." Jane sniffled into the younger's shoulder. Red sniffled back.

Wasn't long before Red invited then inside. And as soon as they all got comfortable Jeff explained the recent events to her.
"So basically," red thought, leaning back, "Slenderman is Sally's uncle. And after Jane kicked slender man out, he came back weeks later and took Sally?"
"Yup." Everyone responded. Red chuckled.
"Yeah, OK. I'll help."
The group started to cheer with excitement but their cheers were interrupted by the sudden open of the door. Everyone's attention was drawn to the front as the watched Liu enter. He smirked and waved at the group shyly.
"Where's uh...the restroom?" Liu asked. Red squinted and sized Liu up before pointing to a door. Liu nodded in thanks and walked away.
Red turned around and sank into her chair. She looked at Jane. Jane shrugged.

After a short meal the group hipped back into the car. Liu and red sat in the back.
(Just so we're clear, the cars are jeeps. They have 2 rows of seats. OK? OK.)
The car started up and backed out. In went peoples headphones. Right before red put hers in she looked over at Liu who was staring out the window.
"Liu?" She asked. Liu sighed and hesitated before looking over at her. She sized Liu up once more.
"You look good." She smiled. Liu's face slowly grew into a smile.
"You too."
