I smile and put my fingers to his lips. "Don't tell me yet. You would ruin the magic, if you told me." He sighed in relief and slid his mouthguard to his neck. My fingers touched his grey lips. He took my hand and brushed my bangs back, revealing a jagged scar. I pulled away and slunk into the corner away from him.

"What was that?" Toby said, walking over to me and sliding next to me. I turned away and sighed.

"Nothing, just a permanent reminder of my old life." I didn't want Toby to know anything about it if he didn't already. I was afraid I'd lose him if he knew.

"Why do you hide it? It makes you look cuter." Toby said, pushing my bangs again, to show off the scar above my right eye, near my temple.

"Painful memories, I guess." I sighed. There was a knock at the door and Slenderman came into the room.

"Lilia, your room is ready. Come with me." I got up, throwing my bangs back over my disgusting scar, picked up my bag and followed Slenderman to my room. "Here we are."

"Slenderman?" I look up at him.

"You can call me Slender, but what was your question?" He said, looking down at me with his featureless face.

"Can you erase memories, or read people's thoughts that even they don't know they have?" He stood for a moment.

He opened the door and said, "I can't erase memories without erasing every memory, but I can read the thoughts of humans, that even you don't know you have." And with that Slender left me, alone in the hallway. I walked into the room and closed the door. I launched onto the bed, and cried into my pillow.

After an hour, someone knock on the door. "Lilia? You ok?" I couldn't tell who it was because the voice didn't sound familiar. "May I come in?"

"Who are you? And why do you care?" I say, with anger and sadness clogging my voice.

"Let me come in, and I'll explain." The voice sounded sincere, but I'm in a house full of killers so I really shouldn't trust it. I got up anyway and opened the door, hiding my face. A guy came in and I shut the door before I lifted my head to look at him.

"I'm Eyeless Jack. Lilia, I care about you because Toby is a dear friend of mine. So, why are you upset?" I read about this guy before. No eyes, blue mask, kills people and takes their kidneys, then eats them. I shiver at the thought.

"Just painful memories, Jack. Nothing more, nothing less. Now leave." I say, opening the door and shoving him out it before shutting and locking it.

"Lilia! You can't run from your......" I put my headphones in and blared Underneath Every Smile by: I See Stars. I unpacked my bag and started to draw. At first, it looked like nothing. After an hour or so, it started to look like something or someone.... I got up, took out my headphones, left my room and walked down stairs. As soon as I saw him, I knew who I just drew. I drew Toby....

Toby looked at me and before he could say anything, I ran upstairs and into my room and slammed the door. "I drew Toby.... That has to mean I love him. I don't draw anything in this book unless I love it." I went to look at it again, but my book was gone. SHIT!!
