Trees don't move. || A proxy story

C H A P T E R 6

( Your POV )

“Come in.” A loud voice boomed inside of my head followed by the sound of familiar static. Hearing the static instinctively made me shoot my hands up to cover my ears but that didn't help it go away. The door opened and the masked male motioned me to go into the office area.

I slowly stepped into the room, my hands still covering my ears since the static has yet to fade away. “How do you feel?” The creature asked in my head and once I looked up a look of terror spread across my face. My mouth was slightly agape while I realized it was the same creature from the woods. “Was it communicating with me through speaking in my mind..?” I thought to myself as I regathered my composure. “Yes, I was mortal. Now, how are you feeling? You look rough.” It's voice boomed inside of my head again. “I'm fine I suppose..” I said, swallowing back my fear. “Excellent, now onto why you're here.”

My heart dropped to my stomach as it said that. “Yes, why am I here…?” I asked, trying to keep my breathing steady. “Well, you are ‘special' in a way. You are stronger than you are aware of..” It started. “And capable of more than you know. I simply want to put your valuable capabilities to good use.” It continued, finished with what it was saying.

“What capabilities..?” I asked, taking a deep breath and picking at my nails. “That I am still trying to figure out (Y/N), but for now I expect you to get comfortable and accustomed to the Manor because this will be your permanent residence as of now.”  It boomed. “Now, leave. Masky will show you to your room.” It said, motioning to the masked male waiting by the double doors.

“Huh, Masky is his name?” I pondered while I walked over to Masky who was now holding the doors or well one of the doors open and we walked out of Slender's office.

( Masky's POV )

"So your name is Masky, huh?" The girl said as we walked down the hall. "Well, not my real name, that's just what everyone calls me." I said, muffled slightly by my mask. "Oh, well what's your real name?" She asked, turning her head to look over at him. "Well you've yet to tell your name." I said as she turned her head to look forward again.

"Well if I tell you my name will you tell me yours?" She asked, looking at me again. "Sure, so what's your name?" I asked. "It's (Y/N), now tell me yours." She said, she seemed very eager to know my name. "Alright alright, it's Tim. It's really not that interesting." I said as we stopped in front of her room, unsurprisingly it was the empty room next to mine. That room has empty for awhile now..

"Here's your room. And don't worry about your things, Hoodie is on his way back with all your stuff." I said as I opened the door to her room, it was kind of dusty which was expected when the room hasn't been used for ages. "Uhh, I hope you settle in nice." I said, leaning against the door frame. "And let me know if anyone gives you trouble, most of the people here are pretty uhhh unhinged, fucked in the head, what ever you want to call it just be careful, especially around Jeff, he's a ticking time bomb." I said, somewhat concerned for her safety. "I will, thank you Tim." She said, walking around her room and looking around at things. "Don't mention it, I'm right nextdoor if you need me." I said, about to go to my room.

"Hey uhh Tim." She said. "Yeah?" I said, stopping and turning towards her. "I hate to ask but, do you have anything to eat? I'm pretty hungry.." she said as her stomach began growling. "Uh yeah, we can see what they have in the kitchen." I said as I motioned for her to follow me out of the room and towards the kitchen.

( Your POV )

I followed him downstairs, observing my surroundings. "This is a pretty big place.." I said, stating the obvious. "Yeah, you don't say."  Tim said as we walked into the kitchen. In the kitchen there was a tall monochrome clown, a fairly tall human-like person? With a blue mask and black eye holes with something black dripping from them, and a person that looked like link but corrupted and as a short kid blood pouring from his eyes like tears and his eyes had red irises and a black sclera.

"Woah, are they real?" I asked, recognizing the characters or well people in front of me. "Yeah," Tim started with a light chuckle. "Laughing Jack, Eyeless Jack, and BEN." He finished as the clown walked over to me. "Hello dear! Who might you be?" He asked leaning down and offering me a hand. Even though he was keeping up a nice facade I couldn't help but be a little creeped out by him. "I'm (Y/N).." I said, visibly a bit disturbed. "Pleasure to meet you!" He said before surprisingly walking off. "Hello there (Y/N), nice to actually know your name. As you can already assume I'm Eyeless Jack but please just say Jack." The guy with the blue mask said while approaching me. "Oh, what do you mean?" I asked, a bit creeped out. "I saw them bring you in earlier." He replied. "Makes sense, nice to meet you." I said, turning to the shorter male who just seemed to be staring at me intently.

"Hello, I'm BEN." He introduced himself, his voice glitchy as if he were stuck in a computer with a virus. "Hello BEN, nice to meet you." I said, offering a slightly disturbed smile. "Nice to meet you too." He said before walking off and disappearing into the television in the living room.

"Ok, back to the food situation." Tim chimed in, I almost forgot about eating because I was interacting with the others. "Oh yeah." I said, rubbing the back of my neck. "What would you like to eat? He asked, looking through the pantry. "Maybe just a sandwich or something, what do you have?" I said as I was thinking about (F/F). "We have turkey, cheese, salad, (F/F), and that's all." He listed the food, but once I heard (F/F) I immediately spoke. "Can I have (F/F) please?" I asked, Tim nodded and got to making (F/F).

30 minutes passed and Tim made my food and I finished eating. After I finished eating we went to the living room and started watching TV. A while of watching TV had passed so we decided to shut it off and go back to our rooms. Hoodie had already came back with my stuff a while ago and I set it up already so all I needed to do was go to my room and get ready for bed. Once we got up to our rooms we just stood in the doorway of our rooms for a moment exchanging goodbyes before entering our rooms and getting ready for bed.
