Emily

My 14th Birthday

8 Years Later

I woke up and looked at my ceiling.  Its my birthday.  I sprung out of my bed and I took off my white night gown.  I got my black dress, and my black head band with a red bow.  I grabbed my black boots, and slipped them on.  I walked up to my dresser and looked in the mirror.  I saw my pale blue eyes glow softly.  I sat down on my stool and I put on some lips balm.  I put just enough on to make my lips glow.  I smiled in the mirror, I looked at my scars.  I ran my fingers down them gently, I could still feel the pain.  I jerked my hands away from my face.  I got my black chocker, and I slipped it on.  I looked at my clock 5:24.  "Crap I got up early again" I whispered.  I moved my curtains away from my window.  I opened my window very quietly, and I swung my legs through the window and I sat on the ledge.  I looked up and I saw the moon.  It was so bright and big.  The color....the color was same as my eyes.  I smiled, I transformed into my SlenderGirl form, and I teleported to the roof.  I sat on the ledge and starred at the moon.  I transformed back into my human form.  I laid on my back and looked at the stars.  I saw someone standing on the other side of the roof.  Its Ben..."hey" he walked up to me "hi Ben" I starred up at him "can I join you?" he looked down at me "sure" he sat next to me, and I sat back up.  "What a lovely moon" I looked back up at the moon again.  "It sure is" Ben smiled "hey, why are you up to early?" Ben looked at me "I was so exited I couldn't sleep because today is my birthday" I looked at Ben and smiled.  "I have a gift for you" he blushed a little "what is it?" I looked at him.  He starred into my eyes, his eyes sparkled under the moon light.  He leaned forward and kissed my cheek.  He put his hand on my hand.  He leaned back and smiled.  I was shocked, I blushed a little.  I looked at my feet "whats wrong?" Ben looked into my eyes again "I...I don't know if my dad would want me to date..." Ben reached his hand out and touched my face "he doesn't have to know" Ben leaned in again and kissed me on the lips.  I blushed even more, but I didn't lean back.  I held his hand as we kissed.  We kissed for about a minute, he leaned back and smiled widely, I smiled back.  "Was this your first kiss?" Ben asked "it was" I smiled.  We both laid down on our backs and we held hands.  My head touched his head, and we started at the moon.  "I never thought we would end up like this" Ben chuckled, I smiled "me neither" This was the best birthday present I have ever gotten.  We starred at the moon until the sun came up.  "Oh no my dad is probably up" I sat up looking at Ben "can we meet again tonight?" Ben sat up and held my hand tightly.  I smiled and kissed him on his lips "yes" I transformed into my SlenderGirl form and teleported into my room.  Ben jumped up and down in excitement, then he teleported to his room.  I quickly closed my window and my curtains.  I sighed with happiness, I heard footsteps, quickly I sat on my bed.  My dad walked in "Good morning sweetheart" "Good morning dad" I smiled warmly "how did you sleep?" My dad came over and sat on my bed "I slept good" "good.  Well I got some pancakes downstairs for my special birthday girl"  my dad rubbed my head, and got up. "Thank you dad" I sprang up, I looked at the door and I saw Sally "hi Sally" I smiled "EMILY!!!" she ran towards me, jumped and hugged me.  I spun around as I hugged her "how is my little girl doing?" I looked at her "I lost Charlie" blood stream started flowing down her face.  "Hey dad I will be down I'm a minute.  I'm going to help Sally find Charlie" I looked up at my dad "okie dokie.  See you down there" my dad rubbed my head again, and walked out of my room.  "Do you know were you last had Charlie?" I looked down at her "he was in my room" she calmed down "ok.  Lets go check there" I walked over to Sally's room, there was pink every where.  I set her down near the door, and I looked under her bed.  I didn't see anything, I heard someone at the door.  "Hey Sally, oh hi Emily" I looked up and I saw Eyeless Jack "oh hi" I smiled.  "What are you doing?" Jack looked at me strangely "oh...Sally lost Charlie..." I looked at him with soft eyes.  Jack looked at Sally "awe you did" Jack squatted down.  Sally rubbed her eyes and nodded.  She walked over and hugged him.  I crawled up onto Sally's bed, and looked on the other side "oh....there you are Charlie" I grabbed him gently.  "Thank you for getting me out of there" Charlie hugged my chest "awe your welcome" I petted his head.  "Sally I found Charlie" I got off of her bed and walked to her and Jack "Charlie!" Sally reached out her hand, and I out Charlie in her hands.  Charlie hugged Sally's hand "Thank you" Sally put her arms out for a hug.  Jack moved closer to me and Sally grabbed on to me and hugged me "your welcome" I smiled.  I looked at her "come on lets get some pancakes" I put her down she jumped up and down all exited.  Jack smiled and walked ahead of us, Sally held my pinky as we were walking down the spiral stairs.  "Happy birthday Emily" Jane waved "awe thank you" I smiled at her "good morning Sally" Jane waved with her four fingers "morning, and happy birthday Emily" Sally hugged me quickly, and she skipped along towards the dinning table.  She sat next me and Ben sat next to me.  My dad gave all of us pancakes.  "Thank you" we all said in unison "your welcome" my dad sat at the end of the table, and he started eating his pancake.  "Does anyone know were Clockwork is?" Ticci Toby came down the stairs "she is on a walk" Toby sat next to Ben.  "Ok.  What about Jeff?" My dad took a bite out of his pancake "I think he is still sleeping" Ben looked at my dad "well he is going to miss out on pancakes" "I'll go try and wake him up" Jane laughed and walked up the stairs.  I finished my pancake, same thing with Sally and Ben.  We all got up and put our dishes in the sink.  "Were going outside dad" Sally grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door "ok have fun" Ben ran behind me and closed to door.  "What do you want to play Sally?" I asked "um....cowboys!" She jumped up and down.  "Ok" I smiled "I call Sheriff" Sally said "awe man I wanted to be the Sheriff" Ben walked up beside me "sorry.  Im Sheriff of Murder Town and you two don't belong in my town" Sally pointed finger guns at us "this town doesn't belong to you Sheriff" I pretended like I was going to grab guns from my belt.  "And this isn't big enough for the three of us" Ben looked at Sally.  "Your right....phew...." Sally pretended to shoot me "ahh I've shot....oh..." I fell on my knees and I held my heart "Goodbye cruel world.....dies..." I fell on the ground like I was dead.  Sally couldn't help but laughed at my horrible acting.  "Best acting 2017 Thank you" I sat back up, and I bowed.  Ben looked at me and laughed.  Clockwork clapped at my "great" acting "you can sure act better than me" she laughed.  "CLOCKWORK!" Sally ran over to her and Clockwork scooped her up in a hug.  I stood up and laughed at my acting.  "Wait I still have one more out law in my town" Sally looked over at Ben.  Clockwork put her down, and Sally ran and tackled Ben.  She got Charlie and shoved him in his face "LOOK AT CHARLIE!!" Sally yeld at Ben "ahhh he's sooo cute! I can't handle the cuteness......blah......(he's dead XD)" Ben tried not to laugh.  Sally laughed so hard she fell off of Ben.  She got back up "I am the greatest Sheriff ever to live" she put her fist in the air.  "Yes you are" I laughed, Ben sat back up and smiled at Sally.  Clockwork chuckled "well I'm going to get some breakfast.  Thank you the entertainment" she started walking towards the door "bye Clockwork" I waved "have a good breakfast" Ben said.  Jeff walked through the door "hi Jeff" I smiled "ugh...sorry I slept in kiddo" he chuckled while scratching the back of his head.  "Its ok" Jeff walked up to me "are you ready for your training?" Jeff walked a few feet in front of me "I thought I was training with Laughing Jack?" I stretched my arm in front of my chest "yeah, I don't know where he is" Jeff cleaned his knife with his finger "huh, strange" I finished stretching.  Sally held Ben's hand and both of then stepped back.  Charlie held Sally's arm.  "Are you ready? Birthday Girl" Jeff smiled, I smiled and I transformed into SlenderGirl "born ready"
