A quick tip if you didn't realize yet. This is the font when I, the author and (sometimes) the illustrator of this story, use when I want to speak my mind in a story. Alright.

Enjoy! Leave a comment if you are confused or curious.


~Your POV (Why? Because I feel like it)~

Looking down at this little world JMLemmon created with my help, I watched as time seemed to tick by slowly. It's been barely a month since those two kids were found in that abandoned and burned hospital. A month since Sam and Josh found a new home, one about as safe as their last one. The only difference is that they never starved. Nobody (besides Jeff) tried to kill them. Nobody hurt them, nobody called them worthless, nobody forced them to work. Josh and Sam decided they would rather continue sharing a room for the time being, as long as it had a bathroom for changing and some privacy.

A bunk bed was moved into the room after Sam had recovered and was playing with the kids outside. She walked with a cane for now, to support herself a little better. Sally and Josh were playing hide and seek, along with Laughing Jack. They were hiding, she was seeking. As soon as Sam stepped near where Jack was hiding, he popped out in an attempt to scare her. She just smiled and laughed.

Am I having fun? Am I, the reader, enjoying this chapter? The first chapter for a while to show any happiness whatsoever?

-How the hell should I know?

I'm reading this and wondering, why the hell did the author think this was important.

-I didn't, lol.

~Josh's POV~

It's been a few weeks since Sam has recovered. Sam plays with me and Sally sometimes. It's fun to play with her after so long, but she can't run much and sometimes has to sit because her head spins.

Ben is fun too. He taught me to play video games when Sam's not around or is training with the others. She's good at fighting. I saw her fight once and it sorta scared me. Me and Ben and Jeff play video games sometimes, but Jeff gets really frustrated when we beat him for some reason. He threw a cup at me once, but Sam stepped in front of me before it could hit my face. She cursed at Jeff while I held my ears after.

I like it here, it's really pretty and the others are very nice. There's a lot of people living in the mansion! There's Slendy and his p-p-pro...his friends Hoodie and Masky and Toby! There's also Laughing Jack and Eyeless Jack and Sally and Ben. Jeff. And sometimes some others come by to say hi or stay the night in one of those big rooms they said were spares. I never had real friends, but now I have a whole mansion full!

I'm so happy!

~Sally's POV (because she's a cute little girl and I wanted to :3)

"Come have a tea party with me!"

I ran around the house, but almost everybody's a meany boy. Nobody wanted to, and a few even left the house so they didn't have to play with me.

I started back to my room while the noise from the living room tv blared. Ben and Joshy were playing video games again.

"I'll play with you." I spun around to see Sam give me a shy smile as she leaned against her cane. "Or not? If you don't want to play with me-"

"No! Come on, let's go get you a dress."

"Oh, um, can we not? I really don't want to change."

Oh, right, because of her back. EJ told me something about that. Supposedly her spine or whatever was damaged from all the years of abuse. I don't know the specifics, all I know is that it's painful for her to lift her arms above her head right now. She hides the pain very well, though. When Jeff hit her with a glass cup, it didn't even seem to hurt her. She didn't flinch once when EJ was pulling the glass shards out of her either...or so I overheard while he and Slendy were talking. They thought for a while that she was like Toby, but she assured them that she could, in fact, feel pain. She just has a high pain tol-er-ance.

"Yeah, it's fine! Come on!" I grabbed her free hand and pulled her along. I could hear her begin to laugh and looked at her. She was smiling widely as we entered the room, which I'd gotten ready for a party.

"Yay! Somebody's gonna have a party with me Charley!"

Sam and I had so much fun.

~Slendy's POV~

I was struggling to figure out more about the two kids when suddenly EJ came running into my room. He was slightly out of breath as he tried to speak. He told me about how Jeff lost his temper and threw a glass cup at Joshua, only for Sam to step between them and get hit in the back.

It's been barely a week since that, and EJ is going to take off the bandages. Sam was just getting done with a tea party when she entered the infirmary. She was smiling as she walked in, but she quickly got rid of her grin for some reason.

"Hello, sir. I wasn't expecting you to be here as well."

"Please, call me Slenderman. And if you'd like, I can leave."

"It's fine si-...Slenderman." She began removing her shirt, stopping with the undressing when only her bra and the bandages wrapped around her were covering her. It slightly alarmed me to see how she undressed in front of others with such ease- especially since we were mostly strangers- but the scars that weren't covered by the bandages quickly stole my attention. This is what EJ must've been telling me about.

This is why he'd asked me to come.

The largest scare was from her left shoulder to her right hip. It had obviously been deep, and looked to have been done with something dull by looks of it. It was old, as well. She was probably only about three or four when she got it.

As Jack undressed the wound, I saw more of the gruesome scars. Some were curved, others looked like she'd been whipped. When her back was completely bare (besides her bra of course), I noticed that she had been burned and on one of her shoulders it looked like somebody had branded her with a cursive 'D'.

"How long do you think this will take, si-...Jack. I would like to get back to playing with Sally."

I couldn't help but stare at the girl as Jack finished cleaning the nearly-healed cuts and gashes from the glass.
