Time skip 3 years later. I stand in the back doorway of the mansion where Slendy has made a play yard for Bella. I smile as she runs away and Jeff snatches her, spinning her around while she giggles. I hold my newborn son in my arms and smile down at him, little Tyler Woods, his black hair and greenish blue eyes stand out while the little blonde wolf ears prick up at the slightest sound. Liu walks up to me and takes him to his crib in the living room.
(That little scene was just a little update on her having a baby boy)
-------
Time skip 6 years later, Tyler is 6 and Bella is 9
-------
"Bella are you ready to go?" I hear Jeff ask and she nods, excited. I'm pissed at Jeff, he's taking my Bella out to kill. I'm making Tyler stay here with me. I glare at Jeff as Bella comes out in a pink t-shirt, blue leggings, and pink boots with a little pink knife in her hand. I watch as she waves and me and leaves with Jeff. Tyler is curled up on the bed asleep. I lay my head in my hands and burst into tears. I've been living with these killers for almost 12 years and I still didn't want my children to be killers like me and Jeff. Liu comes in and sits in front of me, holding my hands.
"I can't take it anymore Liu, I've dealt with this for 12 years and now my babies are becoming the same thing as us, I don't want them to live like that" I say and he wraps his arms around me, I miss Toby, he and clockwork disappeared just after Bella was born, So did Melissa and EJ. Logan left back to the city. Now all that's left is me, Jeff, Sally, Liu, Slendy, the kids, Hoodie and Masky. Toby used to hug me like this all the time. I cry harder and he holds me tighter. I smile through the years and he looks at me, brushing my black hair behind my ears and drying my bluish green eyes.
"Why don't you get some rest, you look like you need it"
"Yea, I do" I say and I climb in bed next to Tyler. Liu leaves and I close my eyes and fall asleep.
"FUCK SLENDY WHAT DO I DO" I hear screaming downstairs and both Tyler and I jump up. I pick him up and we run downstairs to see Jeff screaming and frantically running his fingers through his hair. He doesn't see us and speaks.
"I LOST HER DAMMIT, SHE WENT OFF ON HER OWN INTO A HOUSE FOR HER THIRD KILL EXCITED AND HAPPY AND DID NOT COME OUT, I WENT TO LOOK FOR HER AND SHE WAS NOT FUCKING THERE"
My mouth falls open and I send Tyler upstairs to his room with Hoodie, Masky and Sally.
"you...you LOST OUR DAUGHTER" I scream and Jeff glares at me.
"SHE WENT OFF ON HER OWN"
"DAMMIT JEFF THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER AND NOT LET HER GO OFF ON HER OWN!!! SHE'S TEN FUCKING YEARS OLD JEFF"
"IT ISN'T MY FAULT"
"YES IT IS, IF YOU HADN'T TRIED TO MAKE HER A FUCKING KILLER LIKE YOU PEOPLE WE WOULD'NT HAVE LOST OUR DAUGHTER" I scream and the room goes silent. I realize what I'd said and run upstairs to my room. I go into my closet and grab a pair of black skinny jeans and a red tshirt, slip them on and put on my combat boots. I grab my knives and slip them into my belt, put on my leather gloves, tie up my blonde hair and put on red lipstick. I grab my leather jacket and slip it on, my K9 teeth forming in anger as I storm out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door. Jeff tried to follow but I'm already gone. I will search for her until my last breath if I have to. I run silently through the forest, then turn into my unrecognizable wolf form and walk around normally. I walk around for hours until I get so exhausted I can't stand. I stop walking and lay down under a tree behind a mass of bushes and fall asleep. I open my eyes and smile, well rested and full of energy. I look down at my watch and gasp while staring at the date. I've been out for 3 weeks.I stop and my ears prick up when I hear voices. I follow the sounds and soon arrive at the edge of a clearing and hide behind some bushes. I grit my teeth as I see Jane and Scarecrow laughing about a little girl and boy they stole. I fucking knew it, too bad they don't know whose kids they just stole. Wait, did she also just say boy...I've been gone for 3 weeks , did she take Tyler too. I snarl and they both snap around and gasp when they see me, still in my wolf form. I decide to act like a wolf so that I'm not able to be noticed. Both of their faces contort into sweet faces and Scarecrow pats her leg for me to approach her. I slowly approach her and lick her hand, feeling disgusted. Jane starts to pet me as well and they lead me through the forest.
"Your name is Ash" Jane speaks and I sigh. I follow them through the forest until we arrive at a huge stone mansion and go inside.
"Now, we've got a little job for you Ash" Scarecrow snarls and they lead me down four flights of stairs to a hallway of cells, kind of like a prison hallway. They lead me to a closed off room at the very end and stand outside looking down at me.
"We're gonna let you in there and you're going to attack anything you see in there ok, we're going out to dinner" I bark and they grin evilly, opening the door for me to see two children huddled in the corner of the room, whimpering as the door slams shut. I look at them and they start crying silently. I slowly approach them and when I get there I wait until the bitches leave and change into my human form. The kids stop crying and I hug them tightly.
"Oh my babies, are you guys ok, they didn't hurt you did they?" I ask and they nod.
"We're fine mama" Bella whispers and I change into my wolf form, they do the same and climb onto my back, holding on tightly with their little wolf paws. I walk to the door and use my sharp nail to unlock the many locks on the door and open it. I look outside and see it clear. I slowly walk down the hallway and see empty cells everywhere, I suddenly hear a high pitched cry and freeze. I back up and see a cell with a cradle, and a bed. I open the cell and walk in to see a tiny baby boy in the cradle, and the mother lay in the bed next to him, I try to wake her, but she's gone, starved, the baby close to being starved. I gently grab the baby and I change to human while the kids stay wolves. I lift the tiny boy out of the cradle and already feel a connection, even though it's not my child. I cradle him and wrap him in blankets as my children follow me out of the room in their wolf form. I hear a slight cry in the corner and turn to find a small girl, about 3 or 4 sitting in the corner crying. I reach my hand out and she takes it, following me out of the cell and down the hall. Then guess what, I see Melissa and EJ trapped in a cell, and across from them Toby and Clockwork, all of them deathly thin. I unlock the doors and they embrace me, we all follow each other up the stairs and out the door, making our way to our checkpoint halfway to the mansion and setting up the many blankets they brought and I grabbed, laying them all over the ground in the circle of tall bushes where nobody can see in. I pile up more blankets for the kids pillows and get them all to sleep, clockwork, EJ and Melissa cuddle with the children for warmth and me and Toby sit close together, I feel sorry for him, he's paper thin, no meat at all. I lay my head in his lap and he strokes my hair as I fall asleep.
