BEN Drowned X Sally

Chapter 6

Ben POV
I woke up early in the morning. I quickly exited my room and headed downstairs to the kitchen. I notice Slender sitting at the dining table, reading the newspaper, he glanced at me when he heard me rushing down the stairs. "You're awake earlier than usual, Ben." He said with his expressionless blank face.
"I decided to wake up early." I say as I grabbed an apple to eat for breakfast.
"I see. Well try not to wake the others, this is usually time I have for myself." Slender turned back to the newspaper. I nodded and bit into the apple and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 6:30 am, I did wake up earlier than usual. I normally woke up at 8 or 9 but that matters on how long I stay up playing video games.

I finish eating the apple and throw the core away. I thought about what I was going to do this early and then heard a door open upstairs. I looked at where I heard it, it was in direction of Sally's room. I went into the living and sat casually on the couch. Was I nervous of something or was it something else? I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I could hear Sally footsteps as she walked down the hall toward the stairs that led to the living room. I sighed to calm myself and smiled as I thought of Sally. I heard Sally walk down the stairs but stared at a wall, acting like I didn't hear her.

Sally POV

As I went down the stairs, I notice Ben on the couch and Slender at the dining table. I went over to Ben since Slender was busy with the paper and Ben wasn't doing anything except looking at a wall. I went over to him and took his hat. He looked up at me and smiled. "Morning Sally." He says, smiling at me.
"Morning Ben." I chuckled as I held his hat. He reached for his hat from me but I kept it from his grasp.
"Gimme my hat back Sally." He continued reaching for it but I kept it out of his reach.
"No, I don't wanna." I giggled. He grabbed my arm to pull me closer to him while he sat on the couch, I could tell that he didn't want to get up but I continued smiling, having fun. I could tell that he was having fun as well. He took his hat back and let go of my arm, he didn't hold my arm tight so I could have escaped but I chose not to. "You're a fun kid." He smiled and put his hat back on.
"I know." I giggled. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:00 am. Not many would be up at this time, it was normally Slender waking up first and then an hour later me. For the other pastas it's random since they could sleep in or wake up early when they want to.

A few hours pass and more pastas were up. Jeff  was messing with Jane while Jane was getting annoyed, Toby was annoying Masky while Hoodie followed Masky. I was in my room, having a tea party with my stuffed animals while dressed in a simple shirt, jeans, and boots. It was different than my casual pink dress but my dress was in the wash. I heard a knock at my door and something slide in from underneath it. I got up and went over to what was slid inside. I picked it up and it was an envelope, I opened it and read the letter inside it.
"Dear Sally, have fun enjoying this little game I have set up. For you will go on a scavenger hunt, your first clue is to go outside and search for something that intrigues you most." The letter wrote. I smiled and thought it would be fun to participate in this game but the letter wasn't signed so I didn't know who sent it. I exit my room and looked around the hall for anyone hiding but no one was around. I went downstairs and headed toward the front door. Slender noticed me.
"Sally, where are you going?" He asked. I turned around to face him.
"I'm just heading outside, I won't be out for very long." I say with a smile.
Slender nodded. "Alright. Be careful." Slender turned away.
I headed out the front door and started walking into the forest.
