Slowly Killing Me

My friend's

I walk down the street with my head down, and eyes wide. My mouth was gaped. I shiver, I feel cold. It's pretty humid this night tho. I can see Toby glance at me--Ticci Toby. He is acting like nothing happened, like we just took a midnight walk.

"I didn't mean it" "what?" I turn My head to him. "I wouldn't have killed you" he says. I look back at the ground, that was the only thing that interest me. "OK" I quietly say. Toby pauses. "I wouldn't have too" Toby mutters. "why you say that?" I ask.  "Here we are" he says.

I look at the mansion. It felt like we have been walking for a few seconds. Toby gently pulls me forward. I shake may head And back away. "Come on. T-they will be thrilled to s-see you" Toby turns to me grabbing both hands. I begin to notice, I am twitching. An uncontrollable twitch--but that shouldn't matter, right?

Toby walks backwards toward the house still looking at me.

The lights are still on, no sign of someone entering. But I can see commotion in the  kitchen. The clashes of dishes, the scraping of silverware....They are here. My belly starts to growl. "Y-you hungry. Let's go eat" he says, mistaking it for hunger. But it was actually nervousness.

I can see shadows moving around as we get closer to the kitchen. I can hear the murmurs of voices.  Toby pushes me forward, until I'm at the entryway.  My heart stops.

A tall figure hunches over a plate of pasta. A man...He has no face--no nose, mouth--not even hair. Deep sockets--no eyes at all. He is wearing a suit, he has tentacles.

He's not human...

He turns to me. "Is that who I think it is?" He questions. The talking from a table stops.... And, the rest turn to me..

"Oh..sugarplum! Sugarplum!" Says, what appears to be a clown. He jumps with joy and claps his hands together, like something a child would do when there favorite show is on. "G-go on" Toby whispers, urging me to step forward.

I look at the two tall inhuman beings. They seemed glad to see me.

There names are at the tip of my tongue. "Don't you remember me lolly! Ask the clown, looking disappointed. I raise a brow and tilt my head. "You silly goose! The first time we met I tried to kill you! The clown laughs. "What! I take a step back, only to be pushed back up by Toby.

"Oh don't worry sugarplum! We had fun together, old friend! So much fun! He laughs, the laugh started to sound demonic to me. Why laugh so much? It's really creepy. Laughing...?

"Laughing....L.j...Laughing jack?" "You remember! "Yes....And you're..." My voice starts to trail. "You're... Slendy...Slendy? Slenderman?"

He gives a creepy slow nod. "How about me? Asks a voice. "Whoa, there's more?!? A boy steps out from the corner. He gives a smile...He doesn't stop smiling. I think he can't...

I gasp. "Jeff the killer! "So you do remember" he takes a step closer. "No! I have seen you on the news..." "Heh, I guess I'm famous" he jokes.

He wears a white hoodie, with blood stains that are dry. His hair is long...For a boy I guess. He is albino, and he has a smile carved in...By a knife. "you have gotten older, and pretty" "thank you..." I say.

I stare up at him. "But I do remember" I say. "Good" he smiles and licks his lips. "O-ok, don't tease Jeff" "what, I'm not" he chuckled and Lifts his hands up in the air, backing away.

"Talon" another boy with a mask steps forward. I can't see his eyes...Only black sockets. "Nice to see ya" he says. "E.j? "Yes, for eyeless jack" he says.
Beside him is a little girl.

Maybe 10? She has long brown hair. "Talon! Do you want to play?" "Not right now....Honey" I say, trying to recall her name. "It's Sally" she seems to young tho, I couldn't have known her. "We were friends as kids" "but you're​ so...

"Young? Yes, I know. I would have been the same age as you..." She says, she sounds like a kid, looks like a kid.

....Is a kid.

"Why aren't you then? I ask. She gives a little giggle. "Because I'm dead" "a ghost!?! I squeak. "No, kinda like a zombie I guess. Aside from the eating" she giggles. I kneel down to her height level. "Sally....Oh Sally, i-i didn't know..."

She smiles. "It's alright, at least you're here now" I smile at Sally and give her a quick hug. "Talon" I stand up to face a guy in a hoodie. His eyes are red, I couldn't tell if he had a mask on...Or it was actually his face "Hoodie" and along side him...

"Masky" "you are finally here" he says. "Yeah I am" "and I can see... You have been out' he says. I look down, i almost forgot that I killed someone, and that I was covered in the crime. "Gah! "It's OK, just wash up, OK?" You can meet the rest later..."

I turn to Toby. "I-i-i'll lead you to the b-bathr-room" he says, grabbing my arm and leading me away.

He takes me in a room. "I'll wait outside" he says. I go into the bathroom. It was a huge bathroom, very neat in here. It shines like a lightbulb, even with the lights off.  I slowly shut and lock the door.

Then I just break down....

I clench my chest as it gets harder to breath. I lean against the sink for support. I killed someone. I murdered someone in cold blood. I could've ran, I could've told her to run. I could've let him kill me. But I...I...

I suddenly giggle. I cover my mouth in shock. Why did i--

I giggle again. I look at the mirror. I looked like that girl from the horror movie "carrie"

As I peer closer, I give out another giggle. Which soon becomes a laugh, an hysterical laugh.

"I...I killed some one. Heh! I killed.... Someone" I grin. "And I don't mind it..."

I have cleaned the blood from my skin. I walk out to see Toby leaning against the wall. "Are you hungry? "Yeah" I say politely. He pushed himself off the wall. "You seem.... Better" Toby exclaims. "Come on, I'm hungry" Toby nods and we start walking to the kitchen.

"It's been so long...How is everything?" Sally asks. "It's dull, lifeless, depressing to be honest" "well life is like that.." Jeff mutters. "How about you guys?" I ask. " It's been good here, nothing out of the ordinary" E.J says. Toby sits​ on the end with his feet up and chair tilted. He focuses on his waffles more then the conversation.

"Have I missed anything?" "No, have you missed us?" Asks E.J  "of course..." I stand up and look at my phone. " I think I need to go" I turn for the door but someone grips my hand. I turn back to see, it was Sally. "Can't you stay longer?" She asks, her eyes pout. She looks like a lost puppy. "Yeah stay" Jeff insist. "I must get back before they know I'm missing"

They give each other looks. "Maybe we want them to think that..." Says Jeff. "What do you mean?" I ask. My belly starts to ache. I feel uneasy, and nauseous. "Why don't you stay?" Sally asks. "Stay? No I cant" I shake my head in refusal.   "Please" Sally pouts.  I stare into her puppy dog eyes.

I crack a smile and pat her head. "I'm sorry Sally, but I must go. You guys will visit, right?" I ask, I stand up. "Yes" Toby says. "Alright then, goodbye" I wave and head for the door. Toby follows me, and stops in front of the door. I turn around and smile. "Thanks for seeing me again..." "No need to thank me" he says.

I breath in, and then take a long breath out. "I'll see you later" I then open the door and step out into the humid night.

I glance back at the house as I walk down the snake like curved road. I could see Sally and the rest waving through the window. That sight made me shiver a little. But I wave back anyway.
