One More Mistake

「Prologue」

It's been two years. Two years since I joined, but it's only been a couple months since her death. A couple of months since he went rouge. We have no idea why he did it or what his achievement was, but it just did it. I hate him for what he's done. She was the only one who cared for me. The only one who saved me. I made the best damned decision in my life when I was younger, and I didn't regret it. I still don't. Father was drunk again and mother didn't give a damn. They were both horrible parents. Don't know why they became parents in the first place. They didn't even forget to remind me every day that I was a mistake. No love in the house, only abuse. So, I decided to do something about it. Grabbed a knife and slashed them repeatedly until there were rivers of blood. After I overkilled the two, I sat in our darkened living room, contemplating if I should take my own life. Then she came in. I could barely see her face, but it was obvious that she was wearing a mask since she pulled it up to reveal her mouth.

She gave me a warm, reassuring, and caring smile as she leaned down giving her hand out to me. In just that one smile, she gave me the love I've never had in my life. Since that day, I've never left her side, along with her 'proxy'. I later told her that my name was Michael but she said she already gave me a name. 'Forgotten' since I was basically forgotten by everybody. She even gave me a skeletal mask that covered the upper part of my face and some new clothes. She gave love to everybody in the house. She loved them like her family, like they were her own flesh and blood. She was basically the mother of the house, even though she was the second youngest. I've never had this kind of love. And I loved it. Someone cared.

But he, he was jealous, all because I was new. She spent time with me more than him because she wanted to teach me how to fight. And that's when it happened. I should've known that something was going to happen. He was acting weird a couple days before it happened. The two were fighting for a while, and I remember like it happened yesterday.

Everyone ran out of the house while I was frozen in place. The two were throwing slashes at eachother from their weapons. She was trying to dodge the hits, but getting a couple cuts in the process. She didn't even try to hit him. She still cared for him even though he was trying to kill her. Both of them stopped with heaving chests.

"Paxton, stop! Wh-why are you doing this..? What have I done?"

"Oh, come. On. Don't play the innocent act with me! You don't fucking pay a single bit of attention to me anymore! All of it goes to that stupid MISTAKE," he was waving his knife around with every word he spoke. His mask was off, his eyes were filled with insanity and hatred, and he had a sly smile on his face. "See, this is what happens. This is what happens when you don't listen Jade!"

"Paxton, please don't," she raised her left hand up and dropped her machete from her right hand. "I... I don't want to hurt you... You know I care. Just, please... Calm down and drop your knife."

Paxtons features softened, and he dropped his shoulders. He slowly opened his arms, inviting her for a hug. 'Something isn't right about this, I feel it in my gut,' I thought. But I didn't move. Because if I moved, it would be fatal for the both of us, with Pax being so unpredictable right now. Jade lifted her mask and showed that same smile she gave me when she saved me. She opened her arms and walked to him, then gave him a hug. I saw Pax raise the knife. I reached out to them like it would stop time or save her life.

"JADE, NOO-" but it was too late. Paxton drove the knife right into her back, smiling insanely but with tears rolling down his face. Her face went into a one of surprise then softened into a small smile. A single tear ran down her cheek as she went limp. He ripped the knife out of her back then dropped her body like it disgusted him. I balled up my hands into fists. HE walked out like it was simply nothing, right out the back door. I inched closer to her corpse, knelt down, and rolled her onto her back. Before I knew it, the tears started streaming down my face. She still had her smile and one tear stained cheek. I took off her mask, and her face... She looked like she was in peace. I held onto her mask and sobbed.

He's horrible. Her mask rested ontop of my head. Nothings been the same without her here. Luna and Jake took over the house and everyone tried to get our lives back together, but it's horrible. There's no joy. There's no happy chatter. And there's no hyper and crazy girl running around, trying to cheer up everyone. The monster disappeared. And I can tell you, I won't stop until I find him. Some friends from the Slender house hold said that they've seen him with the enemy. Zalgo. So, what I'm trying to do, is find where this place is located and hunt that bastard down. And I'll do that alone if I have to.

A/N: *fake Russian accent* Nyello. You are wondering why I made this book? Out of pure boredom. Yes. I was bored. It just popped up into my head and I was like, you know what, Imma make this. This is what happens when I'm bored. But anyway, hope you guys might read this and like it. It's just a lil' random thing. Read it. Enjoy it. Fuck it. I'm done.
