Red like roses (Sexual Offenderman Fanfiction)

Chapter 10 - New beginning

"Part of Zalgo lives inside her."

Chills ran up the human's spine like bed bugs, making her itch uncomfortably. Her face went pale like she had seen a ghost and her hair stood up in horror. The room went silent, only their breathing working as the background music.

Amy knew she wasn't human anymore. The ache on her back returned every now and then, but it was only a memory of the pain she had felt when her life had turned around. Even if there hadn't been huge changes in her body or her abilities, Amy could still feel like a whole different person. Her old body had fused together with a new unknown form, linking her between two worlds, unsure which world she belongs to. But the theory that Zalgo was a part of her made her almost want to puke. The questions of how Zalgo could control or use her filled everyone's minds, making everyone prepared for the day when the human didn't wake up as herself anymore, but as someone who worked for the devil.

The faceless brother's stood there quietly, turning their gazes towards the human whose eyes were open wide and her mouth slightly open. A few hard breaths came out of her like she had a hard time swallowing the news.

"Amy does seem a little ... different. I mean, we thought she was going to die just a moment ago", Splendor opened his mouth as his voice sounded like it was breaking apart. The human was expecting to see some tears fall out of his eyes, if those black holes could be even called eyes. 

Slenderman turned to look at the human, narrow look on his non-existing face as he asked : "Amy. Have you noticed any changes in yourself?"

The red head thought for a while, trying to think of any changes that would be worth of telling. Her life was surely one of them, but it felt like no one was interested to hear her sarcastic jokes now, so the human tried to think something else. She had grown a little stronger and knew how to fight, but that wasn't because of Zalgo. She could even say she had grown to be a lot braver than before in the last few weeks.

"Well, one time I felt horrible pain in my back. Don't know if Zalgo was trying to do something to me or if it was just ... normal", Amy started, the memory of what had happened that day making her turn red. Another smirk could be seen from Offender's face as he put his cigarette back between his lips, hiding behind the scene silently.

"In that train I killed that monster like I had done it before ... It didn't feel like anything", she explained, remembering now all the blood and the damage she had done. Amy tried to control herself and not think about it too much, she felt too sick already and thinking about the scene made her feel even worse. "And I see nightmares sometimes", the human quickly mentioned, not sure if it was worth mentioning. They were just nightmares after all.

"Nightmares?" Trender had chuckled out like he had heard a bad joke at a comedy show. He stayed silent when Slenderman looked at him furiously, giving out a sigh as he asked what kind of nightmares the human had been seeing. 

"Mostly just me being in danger. I often can hear Zalgo talking to me", the girl said quietly, curling her body up into a ball like being like that would protect her. Many of her dreams disappeared from her mind fast, making her forget what they even where about but there was one nightmare she remembered every detail of. But it was about Offender, so she thought it would be for another time.

None of them said anything for a while. It almost felt like they were talking to each other telepathically to avoid the human hearing their thoughts about the situation. Offender dumped his cigarette, throwing it somewhere where it would be hard to find and walked towards Slenderman, standing too close to him as he growled : "What are we gonna do?"

The atmosphere was tight around everyone as Slenderman stayed silent. The human rubbed her arms like she was freezing, trying to get rid of the weird itch that was taking over her. She wished to just go home and forget all this and just relax, but it wasn't a possibility. At least for now.
