This joker face guy is hella weird.
Sorry for our manners, I think it's about time we introduced ourselves and everyone in this house The voice said calmly.

"I'm Ben, well you already know that I guess... When you're all settled down you should come to the lounge and play video games with me and Sally." He said rocking back and fourth on his heels, almost like Joey would do when he wanted something.
It's okay. He's being buried as we speak, don't worry. The voice says, he just read my thoughts?
"Can I see him one last time?" I look up at the tall man and ask.
"I'll take her!" Joker face shouts, I shoot him a death glare.
"I don't want to go anywhere with you." I say crossing my arms.
"I'll go with them." Ben says as he looks up to Slendy, he looks down at Ben and nods, I still don't want joker face to come though.
"Let's go then!" Ben laughs and grabs my hand, pulling me back through the hallway I entered in, with joker face trailing behind us, when we get outside you can see the sun setting with the sky turning pink and purple and the trees so tall looking like they're trying to shake hands with the moon that's soon to rise.
"How do you know where he's buried?" I ask Ben
"Slendy buries most people behind the back yard, speaking of which, who's being buried?" Ben asks out of curiosity.
"My.." My voice trails of into a breath and I try to keep my composure.
Even though my mind freezes up my feet keep walking.
"My baby brother." I let out quietly. I don't feel like saying anything else or I'll cry and feel weak.
"It's okay, I'll be your new baby brother, don't worry." He smiles and tightens his grip on my hand.
I feel numb, but I keep walking, we finally reach a hole, that's about four feet deep and wide. Next to the hole was Joey, though he wasn't visible, he was wrapped up in a sheet, it still hurt just as much as if I could see him. Tears well up in my eyes, but I keep them from falling.
"Who dug the hole so quickly?" I ask Ben.
"My dog" Joker face butts in before Ben could say anything.
"Jeff, he's everyone's dog." Ben says to joker face.
"Yeah, well he likes me the most." Joker face says, kind of reminding me of a cocky first grader.
"Anyway" Ben says shooting Joker face a angry look.
"Our dog Smiley really loves to dig, so we decide to take advantage of that bad habit and put it to good use." Ben says going back on topic happily.
I sigh knowing that we have to bury Joey at some point.
"I'm ready to bury him." I say to Ben
"It's okay, Jeff and I will do it." Ben says smiling.
I don't really trust Jeff/joker face enough to let him touch Joey, but I accept the offer knowing that if I do it I'll break.
Ben walks over to Joey with Joker face following behind, as Joker face walks by he lightly puts his and on my shoulder, as if trying to comfort me for some reason.
I turn away not wanting to see them put him in the ground, wishing that he wasn't in that sheet, that he was still alive, running out of the woods and coming to hug me, so I could take him home and play tag in the back yard like we used to.
Everything hits me all at once, everything I've been trying to hold back just erupts like a volcano.
My knees get week and my eyes are blinded by tears. I crouch on the ground holding myself, trying not to scream, scream about how I want my brother back, or how I want to see my house one more time, and tell Joey that I love him one last time.
I cover my mouth trying to muffle a silent scream. I can hear the dirt moving and being put back into the ground, with Joey underneath.
"I'm so sorry." I whisper to myself rocking back and fourth as if I were talking to Joey. How am I supposed to live like this?
All of a sudden arms wrap around me and I look up to see Ben crying with me.
"You being sad makes me sad, please stop crying." He sobs, I don't know why but it makes less sad.
"I'm sorry Ben, I'll stop now." I say wiping my tears and sniffling.
Ben let's go of me and I stand up, patting myself off, trying to distract myself from crying again.
"Ben, go inside and introduce her to everyone, I'll finish up here." Joker face says. I glance behind me to see him looking away from me and towards the ground.
"Okay." Ben says happily, again, Ben grabs my hand and we're going back to the mansion. We have to walk around the side in order to get back into the mansion because the back gate is locked.
"So who exactly is joker face?" I ask curiously.
"Oh, that's Jeff, mostly known as Jeff the Killer, his back story is pretty gory, and he acts like a douche bag, but he isn't a bad guy." Ben answers and then laughs. "Joker face huh? I like that." He giggles.
I didn't realize it at first, but I was smiling, somehow out of all this bad stuff I still managed to smile.
"Thank you Ben." I say quietly seeing him smile even more.
