Mistakes part 1

A/N: time has past and things were written. Sorry for the wait....

Not really. ;P

Jeff

The scene was all to familiar to my eyes for I had seen it many times before. The heavy copper smell of blood, the icy fingers of shock and silver plated pain permeated the night, almost as hard on the senses as Sally's sobs were to the ears. I was still sprawled on the ground where Lui had left me, half angry half heartbroken at his, all too sudden, betrayal. How could he? He is my brother...

From where I was crouched I could see Toby twitching spasmodically, nervous as all hell. Smile dog crouched next to him, softly growling as he stared at me. I slowly turned to see LJ standing on the porch as far away from the door as possible, trying to staunch the flow of black and white blood that streamed down his arm. Masky leaned against the wall by the open door staring at me. EJ held Sally in his arms trying to silent her wails. Next to him was Ben, eyes dripping black goo and accusations. Bluish code leaked from a gash on his forehead. Slenderman only stood there, presence stormy yet completely silent, for now. Then, "Jeffrey, what. Did. You. Do?" This time. His unspoken end of the question.

I wanted to swear at Slender. I wanted to tell him to fucking leave me alone but I didn't have the strength to do more than hold back the tears that were threatening to make their unwanted appearance. As the silence lengthened I felt increasingly more despondent. Just as I was about to break down completely Hoodie spoke softly from his perch on the railing.

"Liu flipped on us Slender." His voice was soft and flat as usual. No condemnation tainted it but there was no pity in it either. "He tried to kill us all."

"And why, pray tell, did he?" Slender was on the verge of rage. A very uncommon sight to everyone present. Then again, this entire night was shaping up to be one hell of an unusual nightmare. The poisoned silence, that always shows up when no one really knew the answer, or wanted to be the one to address the question in the first place, prevailed. Even Hoodie was at a loss for words.

"Because he was protecting Jeff." Sally whispered through still falling tears. "He thought we were hurting him." EJ whispered something in her ear and she fell silent once more.

She was right, of course. Liu had thought that I wanted my friends dead and had eagerly carried out his version of revenge on them without a second thought.

What had I been thinking when I told my overprotective brother that crap about the other Pastas hurting me? I should have been thinking, but apparently, that wasn't really a strong suit of mine.

"Is everyone still alive?" Slenderman asked at last. His proxies all scanned the surroundings and nodded in unison. "There are injuries." He continued. "I will send for Nurse Ann to help patch up all the damage Jeffrey's mess has caused." Slender strode through the clearing to the door, only stopping by me for a second to send a mental message. In my office as soon as you get your feet under you.

Then he vanished into the dark house with Hoodie following close behind him. EJ set Sally down gently. Ben reached forward and brushed her head with his hand in comfort. Sally turned and gave me a heartbroken glance that I failed to meet before she meekly went back inside as well.

I looked over to Smile but he only snarled at me and took off into the forest. I couldn't really blame him. I got to my feet at last and tried to follow Sally only to be stopped by-

"What the hell we you thinking when you brought a fucking psycho into this house?" Masky roared at me in utter fury.

"Yeah Jeff, it would have been much more efficient to bring several." Even injured, Ben was still a cocky little shit.
