Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 6

*ELISE'S P.O.V*

"Oh, come on, Red! You need to eat something! You haven't eaten anything since....Well, since I've brought you in here. You don't like this place?" I spoke, trying to give Red a spoon of rice. She wouldn't take it. She always seemed sad.

"Don't worry. We'll soon find your family or friends. One day. You'll see,"

She gave me a confused look before glancing at the spoon. She grabbed the spoon and I had hopes for a second, until she slammed it onto her forehead. "Tch, no," I muttered as I grabbed the spoon and took some rice. She analyzed it as I just put it in her mouth. She seemed surprised at first, until she start munching. I gasped. "At least you're eating now,"

I heard the woods creaking. We were in the attic so maybe I thought it was a sound from downstairs or something. I grabbed the spoon and some rice once again. When Red looked at me, she looked at something behind me and started to panic. I gave her a confused look as I dared myself to look behind me. This can't be real.

There was a tall man, staring down at us. The man didn't have a face, and he was wearing a black suit. I almost started to panic.

So last night wasn't a dream?

The attic was wide enough so he could actually fit here. I looked at the man, startled.

"Do not be afraid. I mean no harm," he spoke.

I couldn't say anything. I was too shocked to even move. Red started to cry. "Are you....related t-to the guys that c-came in last night a-and--"

"Yes, I am Slenderman, related to Jeffrey and Benjamin,"

Benjamin.

I started to cry. "Is that really him? How'd he d-die?! What happened?!"

"I will explain it later. Come with me at once," he demanded.

"N-no. I-I don't know you,"

"You will know me. Child, I promise you no harm. This is highly important. I will explain it once we arrive,"

"Where do you plan on taking u-us?" I gulped.

"To my mansion. You will meet the others. As I suspect you met each other on the wrong foot. They should have contacted me first before committing any stupidity like this. But we are not going to talk about this now. Come,"

The mansion was huge. But he didn't show us anything, he walked us straight to his office, where there was Jeff and Ben. The guys from last night.

"Skyleigh!" cried Jeff as he ran up to her. She seemed frightened so she hid behind me. Jeff looked at me before asking if I did anything to her. I sighed, "I already told you, I found her like this."

"I came as soon as I heard," said a blonde woman, entering the office. "Skyleigh!"

The blonde woman ran up to the girl, crying. "Are you alright? What happened to you? Who is that girl?"
The girl just stood there, looking at everyone confusedly. The blonde woman turned back and looked at Jeff. "What the fuck is wrong with her? Why isn't she talking?"

"You expect me to fucking know?" yelled Jeff.

I decided to speak. "I-I'm sorry to interrupt but....I have a feeling s-she has memory loss--"
