Mechanical Soul (Creepypasta Oc Story)

Chapter 13

Laken lay with an emotionless, empty look on her face, gaze held captivated by the designs on the ceiling above her. She decided to at least get up and get dressed, even though she didn't really need to impress anyone. Letting out a groan, she sat up and swung her legs over the side of bed, feet flinching at the coldness of the old wood floor. Nonetheless, she stood, walking over to her dresser and grabbed clothes from her closet, making her way to the bathroom.

Everyone had returned from visiting Slender's brothers, happy to be home from all the chaos it brought about. Laken could hear the sound of her 'family' downstairs, as they were setting up the table for breakfast. Making her way down the stairs, Laken slid down the banister, her oversized LoZ sweater, paired with some purple leggings, and her old combat boots. Her attire left her neck uncovered, unhidden, and her neck was in clear visible view to everyone for the first time.

~BEN'S PoV~
I looked over at Laken and sat in shock as she had actually left her neck bare, her dark black mark clearly in contrast to her pale neck. I shook myself out of my trance and waved her over, pulling her into my lap. I leaned close to her ear, whispering softly as I touched her blemished neck. "Are you sure you don't want to cover it up, sis?" She had bags under her eyes as she looked at me and shook her head. She seems really tired... maybe I should go let her rest on the couch. I'll save her some food... "Lake...? Come lay down on the couch and rest... you need some sleep..." Too tired to resist, Laken gave in and let BEN lead her to the couch. He set a soft pillow under her head and gently laid a blanket over her body. BEN leaned over his sister and placed a kiss on her forehead, softly brushing back her hair. "I love you, sis... more than you could ever think..." He pulls away and heads to the dinning table to eat.

Here have a little bonding time... sorry it's short...
