A/N: SO, I finally finished this chapter. I have it posted on FanFiction.net as well but I'm posting it here because some kind people have been reading this story. I will try to update more often! Enjoy!
I looked cautiously into the dim, cold room. One side of the room emanated happy sunshine and rainbows, while the other side sucked all of that joy away with its lonely and moth-eaten vibe. "It's...nice." I tried to sound enthusiastic, I really did, but it was a tad bit hard when you consider the fact that you're sharing a house with your parents' murderer/your mortal enemy plus a whole fucking pasta salad of other killers in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Sally pushed past my frozen figure and leapt onto the happy bed on the right side of the room with gusto. "It's wonderful here once you get used to it!" She splayed out spread eagle on her bed and attempted to touch the edges without success. "Now before I forget, there are a few things you must know about sleeping in this house." Sally adopted a serious air that didn't suit the eight year old. "One, if the Rake shows up, don't look directly at him. He doesn't like it. Two, if Smile jumps on your bed, don't push him off because that's a mean thing to do and he kinda might kill you for it."
"Thanks for the advice." I muttered dryly. I walked over to the bed that Sally was not occupying and sat down, sliding my fingers over the old bedspread to smooth it down and listening to the protesting squeak of the old springs. I wondered, How could anyone ever get used to this? The sounds it was making reminded me of a dying animal. "Did you want to come here, Sally?" I asked out of the blue, my curiosity getting the better of the sullen attitude I had been determined to keep.
Sally flipped over and propped her head up on her small hands. "Hm...I didn't have a choice, really. I was killing lots of people because I was upset and I didn't know what else to do. Slendy showed up after one particularly bloody killing with Toby and told me it was time to come home. He just scooped me up and carried me here. I was so scared and confused at everything that this place seemed like a haven. I've always felt especially safe here because of Jeff and Ben. They both just adopted me as a sister, and ever since then, they've taken it upon themselves to keep me safe." I was shocked. Jeff? Nice? No fucking way. I tried to wrap my mind around the possibility that Jeff wasn't the total bastard I had assumed he was. "Don't look so surprised Jane. Jeff's basically a good person!"
I snorted. I could think of a lot of things that described Jeff but 'basically a good person' did not feature. "Jeff isn't anything good to me Sally."
"Yes he is! He brought you here didn't he?" Her childish joy was so adorable that I almost agreed with her.
What Sally had said reminded me of something. "Sally, why was Slendy so hesitant about letting me stay here?" The question had been irking me for a while.
"It's because of Jeff." Sally said darkly.
Of course it was because of that asshole. He ruins everything. "What did he do?"
Sally looked at me and shook her head. "You don't want to know, Jane. Trust me."
I flopped back on my bed and stared at the cracked plaster on the ceiling. What did you do Jeff?
A knock came at the door, and before I could say anything Sally called sweetly, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Sally." called the knocker which didn't tell me anything.
"Masky! Come in!" The door was opened by a man in a smiling, white mask. Strangely enough, he was holding a teddy bear in his hand.
He held it up and said, "You left this in the hallway outside my and Hoodie's room, Sally."
"Charlie!" Sally ran up and hugged Masky tightly around the waist. He stooped to properly hug her in return. "Thank you, Masky. You're the bestest ever!"
"I couldn't just leave him there! He would have gotten lonely without you." Masky looked over and saw me. "Who's that, Sally?" He said softly in her ear.
I let out a snort of indignance. Did he really think I couldn't hear him? "I'm Jane. Thanks ever so much for asking." My voice dripped the sarcasm I never went anywhere without.
Masky studied me critically choosing to ignore the sarcasm. "Did Jeff bring you here?" I nodded, surprised he had known. "Figures. He never does fucking learn." Then, "Sorry, Sally. I should watch my language."
"Yes, you should." Sally said with childish annoyance. "You're almost as bad as Jeff." She snached her bear and sat on her bed in a huff.
"Do you know why he brought you here?" Masky asked quietly. He asked it like he already knew the answer which ticked me off. I didn't even know the answer.
"Nope." Then I remembered something Jeff had said. "Well, actually, he said I was interesting, whatever that means." Masky was still watching me with that same blank, disconcerting expression. Then I realized that was the only expression he could make. He was wearing a fucking mask. "What?" I asked with irritation.
Masky snorted and turned away. "At least he's found someone as stupid as he is. You two are perfect for each other."
I felt anger boil up inside me. "If you don't have anything better to do than make shitty comments, get the fuck out of this room."
Masky bowed theatrically. "With great pleasure, bitch." The door clicked shut behind him too softly to do the heated argument justice.
"What a dick." I muttered under my breath, still furious. I finally spared a glance for Sally and flinched. Whoops.
The poor girl sat there absolutely shell-shocked, her eyes as wide as dinner plates. She slowly lowered her hands from her ears and picked her jaw off the floor.
"Um, sorry Sally, I didn't mean to swear that much, but you have to admit, he started it." She just opened and closed her mouth like a dying fish. "Look, I won't do it again." Complete bullshit. "I really am sorry."
"Wow." She shook her head to clear it, curls bouncing wildly. "You just...wow." Then she giggled and grinned. "Masky was right about one thing. You and Jeff would be perfect for each other." She fell to the ground laughing so hard that tears ran from her eyes. "The last time I heard so many bad words was when Jeff tried to cook!" Her laughter finally subsided into spasmodic coughing. "That reminds me, we should probably go downstairs so you can meet everybody before dinner." I blinked, unsure if I had heard her correctly. "Yes, dinner." Sally said brightly. "Get ready for the biggest internal clock reset in your life."
