Thorns (An Offenderman Fanfic) Book #2

Chapter Eleven

Offenderman's Pov.

I wouldn't inform Slenderman or any of the proxies about this. Rather, I would keep it a secret. This family was dangerous. Especially George, and all his invisible guards. I'd bet even the Creepypastas would have a difficult time fighting with robots they couldn't see. I didn't want a war to happen between the Creepypastas and this family. So this would be a secret I would keep and reveal to no one.

I hadn't packed anything for this mission, so I was more than ready to go. Earlier, I had been so reluctant to leave.. Just to reunite with my family and.. and with Ruby.

Had it not been for George and his fucking guards, I would have been at the mansion visiting Ruby by now. But sometimes things don't always go according to plan, do they?

It was time to leave. According to the clock in this guest room, exactly twenty minutes had passed by. I was leaving now, whether Coral was ready or not.

I stepped out into the hall, went down the stairs, and walked into the living room, where the whole family waited. Cher was in a black gown. She was perhaps upset that her daughter was leaving to a far away place. George seemed strangely giddy, as if this whole thing were a great thing. I guess it was good, to be sending your daughter away into a more protected house, but you wouldn't be seeing her for a while, and wasn't that just sad?

"Where's Coral?" I asked them, searching around a little.

"She's already outside.. My poor girl.. I hope she'll be okay!" The mother wept, dabbing a tissue dramatically around her eyes.

"Don't worry, my dear, she will be okay. After all, she'll be in great care. Won't she, Offenderman?" George smiled at me.

"Of course," I nodded, forcing a smile.

"Great. Come here to get this paper from me. This will tell you the exact location of where to go in Florida."

I stepped forward and retrieved a small piece of paper, which I then tucked into the pocket of my pants. "Be very careful," George said, with a serious look.

"I will," I grumbled.

As I went out of the house, the woman began wailing loudly, while George tried to comfort her. Can she get any louder? I thought with a roll of my eyes as I finally closed the door behind me.

"Are you ready?" I asked Coral, who was checking her backpack to see if anything was missing.

"Yes, I am," she said, and zipped up the backpack.

She swung the bag over her shoulder, and began to walk forward. Since my plan had failed into convincing George to get me out of this mission, I didn't have to be rude anymore.

"Uh.. want me to carry that for you?" I asked.

"Yes please," she giggled, and walked toward me to give me the backpack.

If it were Ruby whom I would've asked, she would have stubbornly said, "No thanks, I got it!" and carried the bag by herself.

A smile came up on my lips just as the thought popped into my head.

"What are you smiling about?" She asked with curiosity.

"My girlfriend." Whoops. That slipped out.

"Oh.. Y-you have a..? Oh my God, I didn't.. I'm sorry.." Her face was hurt and surprised. I didn't really care. I just wanted this mission done and over with.

"It's fine. Let's pretend that nothing happened yesterday. Deal?" I placed a hand out.

Coral weakly shook it. "Deal.."

We began walking for a few minutes. I knew the way in this neighborhood already. Somewhat. Perhaps I hadn't paid attention in some of the way when Masky and I had walked to Coral's house. But I could easily guess. Or. I could easily teleport us to our destination.

I sighed quietly. "Coral, I'm going to do something. Do you trust me?"

Her eyes twinkled as she nodded her head. I took off her backpack, and handed it to her, while she gave me a confused look.

"Im going to turn back into my normal form, because what I'm about to do doesn't work in this human body. You can turn away if you want."

Coral turned around.

I thought about what I wanted and I didn't even have to say it twice. I felt myself transforming. My legs stretched out, then my arms grew, my whole body following the growth as well. Clothes covered my body when my whole body was done transforming, including my face, which was now almost completely drained from facial features, except for a mouth that remained.

To top it all off, my elegant hat I always wore, gracefully fell on my head. I felt better than with that human body. I felt stronger.. I felt powerful.. I felt normal once more.

"Give me your hand. I'm going to try to teleport us to Florida."

Her eyes widened as she saw me into something that wasn't a human.

I grabbed her hand as she hesitantly held it out. I had never tried teleporting from such a distance... But it was worth a shot.

"Relax, close your eyes, and don't you dare open them. Only open them when I tell you to, or when you think you know it's safe. Ready? Here we go."

I relaxed my whole body, and closed my own nonexistent eyes. "Take us to Florida," I whispered.

A strong force instantly pulled me away, dragging me somewhere that I hoped was Florida.

"W-what's happening?" Coral cried out.

"Don't open your eyes!" I yelled.

For a moment, everything stopped. Nothing moved me.

Then I was moved again by the force. I had thought it would take longer to teleport to Florida. But this wasn't the case.

I felt myself fall for a minute, landing on my ass, and I reopened my eyes. The whole area seemed quite familiar. And there were people that could see who I was.

I slipped into a dark alley, and searched for Coral. It appeared she had disappeared. But where had she gone?

"I'm over here!"

I turned behind me and saw Coral standing there.

"Do you know where we are?" I asked her.

"It looks like we're at downtown."

"Damn it!" I cursed loudly. So it didn't work. I knew it was too good to be true. My brother and I both had teleportation powers, but he had a greater experience than me. But I didn't think that he had even mastered teleporting to different states.

My regular form faded away, and I went into my human form.

"We'll look for another way."
