The Proxy (Original CreepyPasta)

The Proxy

"Happy birthday, Ashlyn!" Ashlyn's mother cheered happily. The visible half of her mouth turned up into a smile. For once in her life, she managed to find joy in life.

"Can't believe she is 18 already. Where do the days go?" Her father commented as he cut the cake on the table. The cake had white frosting covering it, along with some purple and blue flowers made of frosting on the top. Ashlyn skimmed across the dining room floor to the window. She looked out the window into the world in front of her. Leaves were scattered all over the ground. It was October 26th, 2012. The sky was a pinkish orange color due to the sun setting. Ashlyn walked over to the table and grabbed a piece of cake. She went to her room and set the cake on the table in her room. She went over to her mirror and stared at herself. She had some of her long black hair covering her face. She reached up with a fair hand and moved her hair out of the way. Her other eye was missing. When she was 7 years old, she had gotten her left eye split open. Her dad was teaching her older brother to use a bow and arrow. He had accidently let go of the arrow while Ashlyn was in front of the target. The arrow went through her eye. Fortunately, it wasn't bad enough to kill her. The accident resulted in her losing an eye though. Ever since then, she has been bullied. She usually hid it behind her hair or something. Ashlyn frowned and put some hair back to cover it. All of a sudden, she heard a high pitched ring in her head. It only got louder, and louder, and louder.

"Shit!! Not this again!!" She cried as she grabbed her head and fell on her knees. She has been having these fits for 5 months now. A 15 year old boy ran into the room. He saw his older sister laying on the floor.

"Ashlyn!! You okay?" He asked as he ran over to her side. Ashlyn nodded hesitantly.

"Yes, Michael. It was those damn fits again." She said as she tried to get up off the floor. She wasn't sure if 'fit' was the right word for it. But it was the best that she could describe these things.

"Mom wanted me to tell you that it's time for bed. You have school tomorrow" Michael said as he leaned in the doorway. Ashlyn whined. Couldn't she just opt out? Tomorrow was Wednesday, so that meant the week will be half-way over. Who knew what awaited her tomorrow. Probably the same thing that always awaited her. People calling her names and laughing at her. But she made a promise to herself. If anyone bullies her, they will end up dead. No questions asked! Screw being nice! Michael walked out of the room, and Ashlyn got ready for bed.

"Join us, my child! Become one of my proxies" A echoic voice boomed inside her head.

"Who are you! Get out of my head!" Ashlyn said as she fell to the floor.

"Who am I? I am the one responsible for those fits you have been having!" The voice said. So that is what was causing them! Ashlyn frowned. She went over to her bed and got in. She fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow.

Ashlyn's alarm rang for school. She reached a hand over and turned it off. Ashlyn groaned as the sunlight hit her eyes. Morning seemed to come way to fast. It always did. Ashlyn hesitantly got up off her bed and trudged to the bathroom. She showered and brushed her teeth. She put on a pink shirt and blue pants. Along with black sneakers. She brushed her hair and parted some so it could cover her left eye. The smell of cinnamon oatmeal hit her nose. Her mother often made that for her for breakfast. Cinnamon oatmeal was her favorite food. Ashlyn ran down the steps and made her way to the living room. She walked to the dining table and sat down. She picked up a spoon and began eating. She smiled at the taste of her meal. Her mother always seemed to make it best. The school bus stopped outside the Grey's moderate home. The early October air had a bit of a chill to it. Ashlyn got up and grabbed her stuff. She put on her black hoodie and hid a pocket knife in it. She quickly ran outside. She took a deep breath and got on the bus.

"Hey Ashlyn, you know how people say they had 20/20 vision? Does that mean you have 20/0 vision?" A random jock said. The kid's friends laughed Ashlyn rolled her eyes. Day by day, she heard that joke.

"Haha! Nice one Jackass. Did you finally use that black hole you call a brain, and come up with that on you own? Or did one of the smart kids help you with that!?" She shot at him. The jock scoffed. The bus mad it's daily round and stopped at the school. Ashlyn got off last. Her best friend, Karianne (Pronounced Carry-Anne) met her at the door. Karianne is an Emo type girl, with snake bites, and Ashlyn's one and only friend. Ashlyn didn't care though. Karianne's hair was short and had red and orange highlights in it. Her and Ashlyn met in kindergarten, when the teacher partnered them up for a class project. They always played together and hung around each other. Ashlyn preferred to have someone like Karianne for a friend, who was real with everyone and told you straight out what she thought. It seemed like everyone else is a bunch of drama queens. The two girls walked down the hallway. They passed by one of the popular girls.

"Hey look! It's the lesbian lovers!" The girl said. The surrounding kids laughed. Ashlyn felt her body fill with anger and the urge to kill the girl. Ashlyn snapped her head around.

"Shut up Dianna!! At least Karianne doesn't treat people like shit, unlike you who is so fake that you make Barbie look real!!" Dianna's jaw dropped. Some kids laughed. Ashlyn felt the urge to kill someone. She would give anything just to see those kids suffer the way she did. A certain faceless, tall, creature knew this. If only Ashlyn knew how much her life would change. The next person that bullies her, will be the first person to die. The day went by pretty easily after that. Until around lunch that is. Ashlyn hated the cafeteria food, it tasted like rotten garbage to her. As usual, Karianne sat next to her. She shared some of her lunch with Ashlyn. 2 jocks came up to her and one shoved her into the lockers. Ashlyn felt her shoulder hit the hard metal. She winced. The jock continuously punched her. He shoved her to the ground and kicked her in the stomach. She looked over at Karianne, who was being beaten up herself. Ashlyn had enough, this was her breaking point. She refused to let her best friend get pushed around any longer. Ashlyn got up off the floor and took the knife out of her pocket. She flipped blade up so it'll stick out. She stabbed the jock that had beaten her. Blood began to spill out of his body. She cut off his head and walked over to the other jock. Karianne sat there, al bruised and battered. Ashlyn smirked. The ringing in her head returned. She grabbed her head. The next thing she knew, everything went black. A tall, faceless, man stood in front of her.

"Nice job, my child. Would you like to be one of my proxies? If you say yes, you will live in the CreepyPasta realm with us. You may never come back." The echoic voice said.

"Y-yes" She said.

"Good. By the way, I am Slenderman. I already know who you are. If you want to be my proxy, you must kill that other boy." Slenderman said. Ashlyn nodded. Reality had came back to her. She found herself sitting on her knees. She was back in school. She raised the knife above the boy's heart. She jabbed it inside his chest. She processed to stab him in his abdomen, limbs, and face. She slit his throat. As she stabbed him, blood and some organs began to splatter everywhere. She panted when she finished. Karianne sat in shock. She never expected Ashlyn to do that.

"Ashlyn?" Karianne finally managed to get some words out. Ashlyn got up off the floor and walked over to Karianne. Ashlyn helped her off the floor.

"Listen. I have to leave. I won't be coming back. I'll miss you" Ashlyn said as she hugged Karianne.

"Where are you going?" Karianne asked.

"I can't tell you. Bye, friend!" Ashlyn said. She kissed Karianne's cheek and hugged her again. Tears fell from both of their faces. Karianne waved goodbye. All she could do was watch as Ashlyn ran out of the school doors. Which was the last time both girls will see of each other.
