Chapter 18: Codename

Cerise's POV

After I took a shower, I headed upstairs to go to the dining room for brunch. When I arrived there, no one was already eating. I looked at the wall clock and it's already 1:00 pm.

Did I woke up really that late?

I decided to go to the kitchen to cook. Eyeless Jack was there, making some weird red soup. But for some unknown reason, it smells good to me. He seems to notice my stare and faced me.

"Hey Cerise. So are you gonna have brunch?" I nodded in response to his question. "Here taste this." As he gave me a spoon, filled with the red soup. It looks... I don't know how to explain it O-o. The smell is somewhat tempting me to taste it. Hunger and curiosity came over me and held the spoon, sipping it slowly.

I have to admit, it tastes delicious. I also thought of having this as my brunch. I asked EJ about it and his answer made my eyes go wide.

"This is my Kidney 'n blood soup. I actually invented this food." He said, and I'm pretty sure he's smiling wide now behind his mask.

"Wow. I didn't expect that to be your answer. I never eaten kidney or drank blood before but I gotta admit, it tastes good. Can I have some for my brunch?" I asked.

"Of course!" EH said happily and went to get some plate, spoon and fork.

I was just about to eat when all of a sudden, a high pitched voice screamed in the dining room.

"YOU TASTED THE HORRIBLE COOK OF EJ?! *LE GASPS*" Ben said, showing his 'what have you done' face.

"Uhhh sorry but I don't know what you're talking about 'horrible cook'. It tastes good. How about you try it?" I grinned, slowly making my way to him, while bringing the soup.

"NUUUUU!" Was all Ben said after running out of the kitchen.

"Well that was hilarious." Eyeless Jack said, and I'm pretty sure that sounded half sarcastic and half joke. I also laughed because of Ben's reaction.

***

I'm currently sitting on the couch, waiting for something 'nice' or at least 'funny' to happen.

"Hey Cerise! Today I'm going to show you around the mansion since Mister Slendy told me so!~" Vré said as he grabbed my hand, walking into some hallway I haven't went before.

We stopped in a door with a 'x' over an 'o'. And there are three of them aligned to each other.

Is that some kind of sign or something?

"You see the symbol right?" I nodded in response, "That's the Proxy symbol. Proxies are the assistants of Slenderman. They are Hoodie, Masky, and Ticci Toby." Vré explained, raising his index finger in a 'matter-of-factly' like.

Ticci Toby? Why does that name sounds so familiar? Too familiar?

I thought and thought, but it seems that I can't remember anything about this person, as if hew was erased in my memory.

"Cerise? Hey Cerise?" Vré snapped his fingers, which cause me to go back to reality.

"Why'd you spaced out?"
