You can't hold it in forever...

Nickname

*Slenderman pov*

    [Toby?] *Knock knock* I opened the door. [Toby you haven't been out for four days and as my proxy you need to kept in full-] I walked as I said this but Toby wasn't in here. What made me freeze was the fact that the window was open and Toby's hatchets were gone.

     [TOBY!] I called out to him in particular so no one else would hear me. It was dead silent for a minute, then.

    (yhmn..hg..) It was very faint but I could still hear it. He must be out of my territory.

    [WHERE ARE YOU?] silence, then.

    (He........t s.....o...n) Was all I could make out. (Im.....H...b...t...S..l....n...kat... AHHHH!!) That last part made me jump. Toby was in trouble and he found Kathleen but, I have no idea where they are. Now I have to rescue Toby and get back my newest proxy.

*Kat pov*

******2 days earlier******************

    Ouch! I sat up in bed and rubbed my upper arm. It felt like somthing had pinched it. I pulled up my sleeve to see a big O with an X in the middle. Oh no, I'm a proxy! I ran out of my room and down the hallway to the bathroom to get a better look at it. Yep it's the proxy mark. I rubbed my arm. Dad is going to kill Slenderman for doing this if he ever found out. I looked around the bathroom for makeup to cover the mark with.

**********2 days later****************

     "RISE AND SHINE!!!" Fives yelled in my ear. I shoot up and nearly punch her in the face.

    "What the hell!!" I say rubbing my ear. I looked at my alarm clock that Fives had snagged from a Walmart a few days ago. 5:30.

     "WHAT!! WHY ARE YOU GETTING ME UP THIS EARLY!!" I yelled at her.

     "SHHHHHH! Do you want to wake up the entire house? Keep quiet!" She whispered. Apparently it was ok for her to yell but when I do it it's too loud. Whatever.

    "Get dressed and hurry." she walked out into the hallway as I threw on some clothes. Why does she need to wake me up this early? Are we going on a mission? I walked out of my room and followed Fives to the Battlefield. On the Battlefield were Basher and his apprentice Sam. Sam was my age and he was just as experienced with a weapon as I was. Overall he's a pretty cool guy.

    "Hey Basher, Sam, what's up?" I asked.

    "You two are our best fighters and this mission will prove your worth and earn you your nickname." Basher explained as we started to walk towards the woods.

    "What kind of mission?" Sam asked.

    "Capture and release. We have spotted a trespasser on our land and it's from one of the other groups. We are going to capture it and then wipe its memory of our existence then send it on its way back to its own territory." I shivered a little bit. Someone or thing as has come looking for me. I know it. I'd better do my best to stay out of its line of vision. We were silent as we made our way to where the trespasser was last seen.

*Toby pov*

     Where am I? I looked around. Yep I'm lost. I sat on a rock trying to get my bearings. *WHALE NOISES* shit I'm hungry. I looked around it was still early the sun was just about to rise and the sky was a very dark blue instead of black.

   "Shit I need to find a big tree or somthing to sleep in." I said to my self. I got up and started walking around. I had been following the perpetrators foot prints until I came to this part of the forest that I had never seen before. I lost the fit prints in a swampy area and sence then I've been trying to find somthing. I found a large oak and climbed up in it and settled in among the branches drifting off to sleep.

*Kat pov*

    We've been following the tracks of the trespasser for a few minutes and then we hear stumbling and and branches breaking. Fives pointed at me and acted out the plan with her hands. Which we had learned to read. Fives and I were going to go in and shoot some arrows attached to ropes over who ever it was until we can secure he/she down. Basher and Sam were going to grab the end of the ropes and attach them to somthing while Fives and I fired more arrows. If worse came to worse then we fight it. I nodded and made a big circle around the trespasser until I was in front of it by 50-60 yards. Then the noises of it walking stopped. I froze for a second then went towards it staying out of sight. I crouched down on one side the big oak that it had climbed up into. I quickly peaked around the tree and nearly dropped my bow in shock. There in the tree, was Toby. Toby was the trespasser? How is that possible? I looked again and saw that he had fallen asleep. I quietly creeped out from my hideing spot and went behind another tree. I noticed movement on the other side of the tree. It was Sam! I waved Sam over.

   "Sam we need a new plan." I whispered as quietly as I could. He nodded and drew a question mark in the dirt. I thought for a second than, with a stick, sketched out a new plan.

   We got into positions. I quietly waited for Sam's signal. *Bird noises* There that was the signal. I notched an arrow and fired as quietly as I could. *Futtu* *Thump* yes bullseye! I had snared Toby's hood and now his hood was stuck to the tree. He was still asleep. I quickly notched and shot more arrows slowly attaching him to the tree. When I was done I gave my signal. *Bird noise* Then I saw Sam walk over with a big sack and his sword. In one swift and decisive motion he cut the branch from under Toby's butt.

    "AAAH!" Toby fell a little bit so his head went inside of his jacket. Then Sam cut off the ends of the arrows. *Shing* *Thump* Toby fell into the sac and we quickly wrapped up the top of it.

     "HEY LET ME OUT YOU'LL BE SORRY THAT YOU DID THAT!! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE!!" Toby yelled out. Than started cussing us out as Sam picked up his sack we made our way back to the house. Eventually he just went quiet. *WHALE NOISES* *groan*

    "You hungry trespasser?" Sam asked. Silence.

    "Why do you care?" Toby gruffly replied.

    "Well we might have somthing for you before you make your way out." Sam replied not at all effected by Toby's gruff-ness.

    "HEY GUYS WAIT UP!!" I turned around. There was Fives and Basher running towards us. We stopped so they could catch up.

    "Congratulations you passed" Fives exclaimed as Basher clapped Sam on the back. Your new names will be announced at breakfast. I looked at my watch, breakfast was in half an hour! We need to get going!

     "Well what are you guys waiting for let's go!" Fives exclaimed as Basher took the sack from Sam and we all ran back to the house.

    "Sam from this day forward you will no longer be known as 'Sam' your new name will be Slash!" Everyone clapped as Slash stepped off the table that people use as a stage.

    "Kat please climb up on the stage." Fives seemed really excited to give me my new nickname. I jumped up on the table.

    "Kat do you promise to protect our humble group with your life?"

    "I do" I responded.

    "You have shown great bravery and skill and are an important asset to our group. Kat from this day forward you will no longer be known as 'Kat' your new name will be a Hot Shot!" every body started clapping and someone started to chant then everybody joined in :

    "SLASH! HOT SHOT! SLASH! HOT SHOT!"
