Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 12

"Mrs. Davis, we have come to a conclusion," started Slenderman, "You are way more advanced than what Skyleigh was. We have decided to drop out some trainings that weren't necessary to you. But we will keep training you with your power and weaponry. Any questions?"

I shook my head no.

"Good. Then you are free to go, unless you want to stay a bit. Your choice"

I nodded as I walked off Slender's office. I walked downstairs, when I bumped into somebody. And that was Ben. "Hey! You should watch where you're going--" he said. "Me? Excuse me? You should watch where you're going."

"If you would've been more careful, you would've watched where your going," he mumbled.

"Are we seriously going to fight about this? I'm sorry, geez. It was an accident." I crossed my arms. He glared at me before pushing me and running away. "Oh, you are so childish!" I yelled at him. 

"Who are you talking to?" a similar voice asked. When I turned around, I only saw Gretchen. I let out a sigh. "Nobody,"

"What're you doing here?" she questioned me. "Slender wanted to announce me something. And you?"

"Jeff is a fucker. He drank the last soda can there was in our fridge," she gripped her fists. "You know you could always buy more," I remarked. "Yeah. But I'm too lazy. So he'll do me a favor,"

I let out a chuckle. "Are you busy right now?" Gretchen asked me.

"Uh, no. Not really. Why?"

"I can train you up a bit now," she opined. I raised my eyebrows. "You?"

"Yeah. Why not?" she remarked, a smirk playing on her lips. "I'll be glad to be trained by you," I smiled at her.

.....

Remember, Elise, what Ben told you. Shoulders back. Eyes concentrated on the subject's movement. And when you're ready......

I went to stab Gretchen with my sword until something unexpected happened. She moved out of the way. And thank god she did. I was about to strike a tree, but, the tree was literally frozen. I let out a gasp.

"Woah," was all Gretchen said.

"How'd this happen?" I questioned to Gretchen.

"Your power," she stated.

"What?"

"Your power is somewhat connected to your weapon. Your sword," she responded. "But, how--?"

"I don't know. But we gotta keep training. Do what you did to cause that to that tree."

I started concentrating on a random tree. And I started to run to it, until Jeff got in the middle. I stopped and stroked another tree. The tree started freezing. "Ugh. Are you out of your mind? I could've killed you!" I yelled at Jeff, glancing back at him.

"Holy shit did you just do that with your sword?" he questioned, ignoring what I just said.

"She did," Gretchen answered. "Have you visited Sky?"

"No," Jeff responded firmly. "Why?" Gretchen tilter her head to a side. 

"Because every time I want to visit her, I fucking can't. Masky and Hoodie throw me out."

"That sucks, man. I'll try and talk to them," responded Gretchen. "It isn't because of them. It's because of Slendy," grunted Jeff.

*Gretchen's P.O.V*

As I entered Ben's room, I turned on the lights and saw him playing video games. He glanced up at me and looked back at his game. "What's up, Blondie?"

"We need to talk," I said.

"About?"

"Somebody in particular,"

He sighed through his nose. "I don't wanna talk,"

"Well, too bad. Turn that off," I demanded.

"No."

"What was that?" I started getting pissed.

"Get out of my room. Let me play in peace," he replied. I walked towards him and grabbed him by the shirt. "You're gonna listen to me,"

He yelped. "Fine. What do you wanna talk about?"

I let go off his shirt and sat next to him, which was on the floor. "It's about her, right?" he sighed. I nodded at him. "Look, dude, it's obvious you like her, but treating her like shit won't solve anything," I said, crossing my arms. "I know, I know. I was just pissed,"

"Do you wanna fix things up with her?" I asked him.

He looked down and nodded slightly.

"Ask her to hang out with you. And just, talk," I awkwardly smiled.

"Are you sure about that? Because I already asked her to hang out with me, and she got all bitchy and basically told me to fuck off. Oh, she also called me a waste of time,"

"She was probably stressed because of all this. Maybe she didn't mean all that. I'm a girl, I know how that feels. Trust me," I gave him a thumbs up.

"Uh, why are you helping me? I'm a huge dick,"

"Yeah, you are a dick but, I don't know, I felt like helping you for once, I guess," I shrugged.
