You can't hold it in forever...

Final Assessment

*Kat pov*

    It's been one week sence the day I helped Toby. I've gotten a lot better at using my katanas and fighting. Slenderman comes every day to see how far along I've come. According to him it won't be long now until I'm ready. I've also spent every spare moment studying "The Holder of" and know all the stories. The Spine Stealer had started to loosen up around me and gave me her name. Bridg. Dad has been silent lately. I think it's because it's almost been a month sence he declared his rebirth. In one week he'll come back and I'll have to choose between him and Slenderman. I don't know who to choose.

    "WAKE UP!" Bridg shook me out of my daydream.

    "Sorry." I continued practicing with my katanas.

    "What I'd with you and daydreaming? PAY ATTENTION!" She yelled at me. "Your final assessment will be tonight. Be ready for anything." She went back to polishing her bone weapons.

    "Well? Do I get a hint?" I asked. She looked up.

    "Your hint is that it will be very hard." She went back to polishing her weapons. I rolled my eyes. Leave it to her to be mysterious. "Don't think I didn't see that." She didn't take her eyes off of her weapons.

**********Later on that night*********

    I strapped in my katanas and slung my bow and arrows over my shoulder.

    "Ready?" Bridg asked as she sheathed her bone sword. I nodded, pulling up my face scarf. "Let's go." She ran off into the forest and I followed along silently. We ran for about an hour before we stopped. I looked around and noticed that all the trees were marked with the Operator symbol. I tapped Bridg's shoulder and pointed at a symbol. "You'll see." She whispered. Suddenly Slenderman appeared.

    [Come with me child.] He turns around and walks into the forest. I run after him. He leads me deep into the forest, farther than I've ever been, then stops. He turns to me. [During this test you may not give away your identity in any way shape or form. If you can vanquish them all, then you pass, but if you don't. You fail. Also for this test you will not have instant healing to hide behind. You have 10 minutes.] He takes a few steps away. I feel weaker. Suddenly I'm surrounded by his proxys. They all looked confused. [I have found Kathleen's killer and thought you would like to seek justice.] Their confused looks turned to rage as they all  jumped at me at the same time. I teleported out from their grasp. I pulled out my katanas. Jeff tried to stab me with his knife, I dodged it and hit his head with the handle of one of my katanas. He fell to the ground. BEN, E.J., and Sally came at me. BEN tried to stab me with a sword while E.J. and Sally were trying to cut at my arms and legs with a scalpel and a pocket knife. Sally cut the back of my leg while I dodged a stab from BEN. I coffee grinder kicked their legs out from underneath them and winded them. Maskey jumped at me with a rock while Hoodie shot at me with his gun. I fired one of my arrows into the barrel of the gun and cut Maskey's chest. Maskey doubled over while Hoodie tried to pull the arrow out. I pulled out my bow and attached all awake proxys to the ground. I looked around. Ok so I got Jeff, BEN, Maskey, Hoodie, E.J., Sally, and, wait i'm missing one. Suddenly somthing cuts into my shoulder blade. I scream out in pain and turn around to see Toby holding his hatchets, covered in blood. He looked like he hasn't slept in a while and he smelled like beer and liquor. He twitches.

    "HOW DARE YOU TAKE HER BOW!" He yelled at me as he takes a step forward, swinging his hatchets. I narrowly dodge them as he swings again. I take a step back. He advances, swinging his hatches at me. I step back until I run into a tree. He cracks his neck as he raises his hatches. "Now it's your turn." His hatchets come down in slow motion. I teleport behind him at the last second and hit his head with the back of my katanas. He falls to the ground, but starts to get up. I run off into the woods. I can hear him comeing after me and getting closer and closer until I could feel his breath on my neck. I jumped up into a tree and climbed until I got to the top. He was not far behind me.
