I was in a room alone with Tina, she was standing and looking up at me, slightly frustrated.
"What did you want to talk about? "
She slightly smirked. "As you know, you cannot hide anything from me, I know everything, and what I don't know, I will find out sooner than you think."
"Where are you going with this?"
"As soon as Troye was home I decided to go for walk to the mansion. I discovered that you were there, talking to Ben."
"So you spied?"
She giggled softly. "Of course, a few words you two said drew me in to listen."
"What did you hear?"
Her face suddenly dropped, she looked pissed. "All of it, and after you left the mansion I thought... Why not read some of the proxies minds? Why not read... All their minds. I must say, their plan could have worked out if I hadn't known about it. "
"What are you going to do? We out- number you anyway"
She smiled maniacly, her sharp teeth showing. "We could easily wipe you all out, but I'm nice enough to wait I until they have a plan that'll give us a challenge."
"Troye is injured, and apparently he's your best proxy, its only you and two proxies against us."
"I hope your not underestimating my power, I could be your worst nightmare. And... We still have you, whether you want to help us or not. Your my proxy, and you'll act like my proxy."
She paused for a moment, then glared into my eyes. "And you'll fight like my proxy!"
She flicked her wrist and suddenly everything went black. Nothing. Silence...
Bens P.O.V
Its been a few weeks since Y/N came, she hasn't visited once... I'm worried.
I heard a knock on the door before it opened, it was hoodie, he looked tired, worn out.
"Hoodie? Don't tell you've been up all night..."
He slightly nodded. "Everything we think of, every idea we get on how to kill them, there's too many chances of us failing."
"The first thing we have to do is get one of those proxies, preferably the females, Tina's woman killer are too strong to risk capturing"
"We don't even know where they live, and Y/N hasn't come to tell us what's going on for almost three weeks. "
"I know... I'm worried about her."
"Some people just want to find where they are and blindly attack, but we'll die unless we have a perfect plan."
"Right... I need time to think, go rest, hoodie."
Y/Ns P.O.V
I hadn't had the chance to see Ben for a while, ever since Tina knocked me out... I don't want him to worry.
I'm going to see him today, Tina doesn't have work for me today, and there's nothing to do around the house.
Before I left, I noticed Troye sitting on the lounge, he hasn't talked much lately, and he seems to be getting more depressed.
I decided to try talking to him before I left to find Ben. I sat down on the lounge near him.
Before I coukd speak I noticed his eyes looked glassy. His breathing was jaggared. Was he... Trying not to cry?
He spoke up. "Am I a monster?"
I didn't know how to reply, he spoke again. "Am I? I've been thinking about everything I've done, everyone I've hurt. No one liked me in the beginning, when I was normal. Was I? Am- ..."
He stuttered, giving up on what he was trying to say. a tear dripped down his cheek which he quickly wiped away. "F-fuck!"
I leant back on the lounge, staring at a painting on the wall in front of us.
"Troye, its OK to cry, sometimes it helps, you don't feel sad after, you feel relieved. "
Maybe he wanted to talk about something, maybe I should get the conversation going..
"Talking about things can help too, I'm a good listener."
He stayed quiet, I have to think of something...
"How about we share stories? Get your mind off anything your thinking about."
He glanced over at me, still silent.
"Did you want to start?"
Silence... Then...
"I killed women, what's there to share..."
"The reason, what was the reason you killed those girls?"
"They hurt me..."
I tilted my head, truly listening.
"I had never had a girlfriend, I was harrassed by the boys for it, the girls would pretend they liked me. Then when I asked them to go steady they'd just laugh. One girl accepted to date me one time, but I found out she was dating someone else. Every day people teased and laughed at me, lead me on and broke my fucking heart... So I broke them..."
"How'd you meet Tina?"
"I found her in the forest one day, first thought was, 'shes a girl, kill her!' So I tried, she stabbed me in the chest with a knife and healed me right away. It scared me, but gave me an idea..."
He paused for a moment. "I didn't want to live, I locked myself in my bathroom and swallowed a jar of pills then cut my wrists, I felt my life leaving my body and I smiled, like I hadn't in a long fucking time."
"You're still alive..."
He stared right into my eyes. "Tina found me before I died and healed me, I don't know what happened, she doesn't either, but for some reason she takes my pain, she feels it every time I'm hurt. She doesn't like to be too far from me, she treasures me...."
I knew what to tell Ben when I saw him, perhaps they could threaten Tina that they'll hurt Troye, somehow intimidate her, no one will have to get hurt...
Tina's P.O.V
I heard talking from the lounge room, I rested my back on the wall and listened around the corner.
"Your not a monster, I hope you know that..."
I slightly smiled at what Y/N said. I thought for a moment before leaving.
I need to know what's going on, I truly don't want to battle against slender. There's no reason to fight...
