Caught In The Forest

Forfeit the Mask

BEN lunged at Masky, but he merely stepped aside. "Why so angry?" He said faintly. He slowly pulled the daggers out, one by one, his jacket shielding his actions from BEN's eyes.

    "What is wrong with you, Masky? Why are so heartless?"

    Masky rolled his eyes although BEN couldn't see. "You sound like her." He seemed to stifle a laugh as BEN glared strongly. "Did you happen to notice that this room is empty?" He spoke, his voice distant.

    "So what?" BEN clenched his fists.

    Masky slowly approached him and lifting his mask slightly, began to whisper in BEN's ear. "No easy way to win without all your precious electronic outlets." He clutched the dagger, now out of his jacket pocket. "Things might be a little different, no more cheating, my friend." Not a second to waste, drove the dagger into the top area of BEN's neck. That move could kill a human, but Masky knew it would only knock BEN out for less than five minutes. He quickly went to work, trying to sever BEN to make his healing process slower. It was hard, however, BEN being more of voltaic existence than of human flesh. But he managed, hacking off BEN's limbs by deteriorating the pixels like cells. He amused himself with the thought of creating another Silver.

    When his feat was done, he smiled, knowing the lack of blood would work in his benefit. He promptly remembered doing something that he could only think of. Picking up BEN's head, he opened the window and tossed it out, bringing him great satisfaction. "One more to go," he thought aloud.

    Hunting for Slenderman would be more complicated, he wasn't ignorant. In fact, every part of him was more superior to the other two. On the other hand, Slenderman was also always somewhere else. He hunted more frequently now, young children became no longer passe; in fact children had become his new favorite victims. Masky ran into the hall, and in a most unfortunate occurrence, ran into the person he wanted to see least.

    The person became instantly hostile, rigid in surprise and a sudden anger. "Who are you?" They ordered.

    Masky swiftly pulled out three daggers and threw them. One of them missed, but two managed to expertly strike human vital points. Alas, this one did bleed. I only have six left, I better keep them for good use. Masky regretted not having more weapons at his will, but he was occupied with trying to hide the body of his bonus opponent. He knew that if someone saw this guy, he would definitely get caught, so he dragged him into the room he had just attacked BEN within. He groaned at the sight, to his dismay he was now covered in blood. However, he ran out of the room, carelessly leaving the door open. He knew that now it was too late to finish his strike.

    As Masky had ran away, and currently was crawling out of a second story window, Sally was wandering through the mansion. She just so coincidentally ambled past the door, noticing the thick trail of blood. A gasp escaped from her lips when she saw the close friend and minion of Slenderman temporarily dead in a corner. "Who could have done this?" She exclaimed, running over to the real Masky, gingerly removing the daggers poking out of his skin.

    The imposter Masky was running away, desperate to get to the town over. But as if poor "Masky's" day couldn't stray anymore away from his plans, he tripped over a gnarled tree root. "Damn it!" He hissed. A person came from out of the shadows, or rather was a walking piece if it.

    "You never were good at distinguishing trees from people," the darkness spoke. Masky's eyes shot up to see the revealed Observer. "Why must you humans always assume it is so easy to take down the main powers?" His voice was raspy and vague, like the wind. The Observer nimbly snatched the mask on "Masky's" face without so much as moving. "Can you see better now, Penny?"
