   I look at the time and it was 3:00 pm, but only disrupted to hear footsteps from outside. I grab my machete in a snap and stand by the door, waiting to see who it was.
    I could tell by the steps that it wasn't Mr. Smiley. He had a more quickened and energetic pace, like an excited toddler ready to go to a theme park.
    I close my eyes and quickly open them once I hear the person reach the steps. Holding the machete close to my face, I take a deep breath and hold it.
    The person walks in the doorway but doesn't notice me, but they were wearing a brown sweatshirt with stripes, jeans, and black converse.
   Wait a second!











  "Toby?" I ask, tossing the machete down on the couch and hugging him from behind.
    "Y/n! There you are!" He exclaims, turning his head and taking off his goggles. His brown eyes were sparkling with excitement, after he took off his mouthguard I could see a smile instantly form onto his face.
     I smiled back and let go, looking at him him full of happiness.
   "My wish came true!" I shout, putting my hands on his cheeks. He chuckled and hugged me, pecking my head in the process.
    "Mine did too." He was very warm and I clung to his sweatshirt, not wanting him to leave suddenly.
    "Wait so you walked three miles to get here?!" I asked, looking up at him with confusion washing onto my face.
     "Y/n I would do anything to get to you, even if I had to cross a five mile long lava pit, an ocean full of sharks, and a jungle that has traps centimeters away from each other." He says, brushing his fingers through my (h/c) hair.
    I kissed him on the cheek and leaned against him, closing my eyes. I feel him rub my back and pet my head, but soon he picked me up bridal style and led me over to the couch, setting me down and sitting next to me.
    "I'll try to come back tomorrow to pick you up, kiss you all the way back~" Toby sings, caressing my cheek as I gazed at him and smiled.
     "I don't want to make you walk miles again, should I call Slenderman over so he can teleport you back?" I ask in a concerned tone.
     "No, I want to walk again, I like walking in the forest." He smiles, tilting his head and kisses me.
      I kiss back and pull away for air,"Once I get back to the mansion, can we take walks in the forest together?"
     "Of course y/n! I'll show you everything." He smiles and kisses me again, passionately.
    
   "Ok dear, I'll be off. But I'll come back tomorrow." He smiles and puts his goggles on but before he can put his mouth guard on, I peck him on the lips gently.
     He smiles and put his mouth guard on, walking out the door and into the forest. Before he emerges into the dark, he waves at me and starts to run into the dark. I watched him until I couldn't even see his silhouette anymore.
   
   "Toby Toby Toby. I think I love you." I sigh, then smile and lean in the window, resting an elbow on it.
    I pick up the liquid and take a sip, trying to save as much of it in case I need to use it again back at the mansion.
    Then I put my phone in my pocket, but I don't strike up a conversation with Toby because I'm taking a nap and I wouldn't be able to answer him.
    I put the liquid down and pull the bed out from the couch. After I lay on it, I close my eyes and go off into a slumber.

Go follow her
Follow her
Go
She'll be there
Follow her
Do it

   
    I open my eyes quickly and gasp to the sound of footsteps and quickly check my phone.
12:58 am
    I peeked outside the window and see a person walking towards the shack.
   "Toby?" I ask, sitting up on my bed.
     I hear the footsteps quicken but when they reached the stairs it sounded like...heels?

  "Nope." I hear a feminine voice answer and see a girl wearing a black dress, black heels, a white mask with black paint on it, and black hair appear in the doorway.
    "J-Jane!?" I ask, stuttering in surprise and nervousness.
     "C'mon, Zalgo wants you to go to him." She says as she holds my hand, I quickly remember the conversations Zalgo and I had in my dreams.
"Go follow Jane"
 Go follow her
 Follow her
Go
She'll be there
Follow her
Do it

    I stand up quickly and start to follow Jane, she leads me into the forest and suddenly I hear something behind us. I glance back and see The Rake following us close behind.
    "U-uh Jane." I say pointing to the Rake.
     She turns her head,"Don't worry, he's with us."
