Really sorry I keep slipping in and out of first pov and second pov so I'm gonna be first pov

I ran...

Pulling up my black hood not that it would do much good I heard a faint call of the voice I heard from before but it was not aimed at me...

"Hey Ben string dude we got a runner don't kill her though, shes one of us"

THERE ARE MORE HOW CAN I OUT RUN WHAT LOOKS LIKE THREE MURDERERS

I turned a corner a guy with striking blonde hair and blood red eyes wearing a dark green...dress? Stopped me in my tracks I knew there was a guy behind me but I still turned sideways so I could see both of them.

I was a little taken back by the guy next to me. Yes elf dude was quite the odd one but this guy had light gray skin with yellow glowing eyes and a mouth to match, my first thought was cool, then again he is trying to kill me, so he's either stupid or being bossed around.

Beautiful yellow ribbon fell from his fingertips this is when I showed them what I was made of, since we were in an alleyway their were two walls one in front of me one behind I did a backflip onto the wall behind me pushed my wait on my feet resting on the wall and went back and forth in a zigzag motion till I cartwheeled onto the roof of the house and ran along the rooftops occasionally jumping across big gaps

I recognised the area now I headed towards the skate park and jumped off the building hitting the ground running as I ran past and took one of the skate boards that belonged to a drug addicted teen who was shouting slurred words as I jumped on the board and going down a large hill.

Being the show off I am I did a few tricks because, obviously what kind of person on the run from murders wouldn't? I turned around all three were smirking from the top of the hill the hoodie had the biggest smile I'd ever seen I just gave them a casual salute and continued to skate back to Elm street knowing they weren't following

They actually were not but fate is so, so crule to us little people. I actually smiled when I saw my home that many people hated. I got into my usual position leaning against the damp cardboard that could barley hold my wait which wasn't much as I rarely eat due to circumstances which most of you will know about by now.

I sighed not quite able to sleep as my mind was buzzing with thoughts that would cause most other people sleepless nights as well

I opened my eyes as the echoing of footsteps drew my attention. I pulled up my hood and brought my legs to my chest hoping they wouldn't see me

"Aww to bad she got away"

Shit its that guy from before

"Ugh whatever no point beating yourself up about shes faster than us so she could be anywhere by now"

A new voice said but I'm pretty sure it was elf guy as they were altogher

"I really doubt that"

This was also a new voice but it was unclear and mixed with a TV static noise

"Huh and why is that Sherlock care to elaborate"

"Just go do your job I'll meet you guys back at the house in an hour alright?"

The voice with static said in a calm yet agitated tone he was clearly in charge but didn't want to be

With that the sound of footsteps echoed around me again. I still knew that guy was nearby but I tried to sleep I couldn't do anything about it and, I was kinda wondering what would they do plus its kinda lonely I've been doing this for 7 long years its time for a change

(readers this is still Blair PatchWork is still at bay tho)

I shut my eyes and slowed my breathing slightly smiling at the memories of the couple I murdered
I acctuatly forgot he was there until
His calming static voice filled the air.

"Your lonely here arnt you?"

With that my eyes shot open I was about to peg it but 3 golden glowing strings that came from his fingertips held me down. I didn't struggle as I knew all to well I had lost rather way

"I didn't mean to wake you I'm sorry. Go to sleep"

"I'll be going now" I said trying to break his grasp

"Sorry that's not part of the deal, so,if you arnt sleeping can I ask you a question?"

"Don't expect an answer alright"

I said sighing giving in relaxing a little

"Hm tell you what why don't we play a game you ask me one I ask you one. But the rule is you have to answer sound cool"

I said enjoying the company of another person. He just smiled

"Alright well what's your name"

"Blair, and you"

I said relaxing more feeling the sleep start to take over

"The puppeteer but most people call me threads or strings, why are you on the street?"

I stiffened at that

"I well kinda murdered my family you know like you do"

I said not knowing what to do his smile just widened

"Who are the other people"

"Huh, oh they are Ben and Jeff. Jeff was like you he murdered his family, but unlike you they didn't deserve it"

"W-what do you mean deserve it"

"White hair isn't natural for a child your age neither are stiches"

I relaxed more feeling sleep start to consume me yet again.

"Your tired you should sleep"

I shook my head lightly drained of energy only to prove his point further. I felt more strings snake around me, for the first time in seven years I felt ,walm. Unable to hold my weight any longer I felt my head crash onto his chest my eyes glued shut but before I fell into the abiss a voice spoke

Jeff:"What the - how the hell did you find her"

Ben:"Woah I know you have a way with kids and stuff but seriously how"

Puppeteer"Shes a nice kid really, just broken"

Jeff"We can bloody see that she has been torcherd right no way does anyone get white hair this young"

Ben"Lets just go get slendy"

Puppeteer"No I'm going to take her to the doc"

Jeff"Really! He'll probably kill her that is how he 'helps people'"

Puppeteer"She is gonna die soon anyway so we need to take her"

Ben"Puppets right we know you hate him Jeff but you don't have to go"

Jeff"Tch she is a good kid I don't want her dieing on me"

Ben"Whatever when do you have feelings"
