Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 15

God, how much do I love Saturday mornings. Just casually walking over to the mansion since Slender now changed my schedule over school. I'm coming over the weekends and sometimes on the week after school. I brought my sword with me, and if anyone asks, it's just cosplay. I knocked on the door, and suddenly heard static. Several seconds later, the door opened. It was Jeff. He let out a groan as he let me in. I thanked him, walking into the living room, seeing Ben playing video games. I sat besides him. "Don't we have training today?"

"We do. Just, gimme a second, let me beat this boss--"

I placed my elbows on my thighs, now placing my head on my hands.

*JEFF'S P.O.V*

As I left Elise and Ben in the living room, I took this as a chance to go visit Sky, my Bella. Masky and Hoodie were a pain in the ass, they wouldn't let me visit Sky. If they weren't in the mansion, Slender would occasionally watch over her. I sneaked in the cold room, sitting next to the bed where Sky was. I can't remember for how long I was in that damned room. I only know that I've only been holding her hand and kissing it several times. Her hand was as cold as ice. I tried to warm her slightly. Until I noticed some kind of movement. I glanced over at Sky, who was opening her eyes. Those emerald eyes I never thought I'd see again. "S-Sky?" I spoke. She started to moan. She slipped her hand away from mine. She was scared of me. "No, Sky, it's me, Jeff--" I walked forth her but I made her more nervous. She backed away from me rapidly and fell to the floor, head hitting first. I quickly walked towards her to help her up.

Shit. What if someone heard?

She had her eyes closed tightly. She managed to stand and sit on her own. I bent over to help her up. "O-ow," she hissed, placing her hand up to her head. "S-Sky?" I asked. She opened her eyes and looked at me. When she looked at me, her eyes widened. "J-Jeff? What--" she tried to stand up, failing horribly and falling to the floor. "I can't stand up."

No way.

No way!

She's back?

My Bella!

Tears started running down my cheek as I went to kiss her several times, hugging her tightly. "W-what happened?" she asked.

"It's a long story. The others have to know,"

"Where am I? Why do I have such a strong headache? Where's mom, dad? Gretchen? How long has it been? What happened?"

"Let me go get Slender. He'll explain everything." I stated, picking her up bridal style and laying her on the bed. "I'll be back," I said as I left the laboratory.

"So, the last thing you remember is Gretchen and you fighting at your school?" Slender asked Sky, whom was laying on bed, drinking a glass of water.  Sky nodded her head. "That's right,"

"Child," Slender started, "it's been four years since that happened. You have a Guardian. She is currently training with Ben. Your parents....are dead. Gretchen lost one arm."

Sky gasped, placing her hand over her mouth in shock.

"Do you remember where you were banished to?" I asked her. Sky shook her head no.

I should get Ben, Elise, EJ and Gretchen. Mostly Gretchen. "I need to go to the bathroom." announced Sky, trying to stand up from the bed. "I'll help you," I offered.

"It's okay, Jeff," she said, pushing me aside. She placed her feet on the floor. She completely stood up from the bed as she walked towards the door. When she opened the door, she got out only to be hit by something on her head, falling to the floor. I quickly ran towards her and saw Toby and somebody else running away. I dropped myself to the floor and started to shake Sky. No response. Slender teleported to where we were. "Get out." he demanded.

"What--? No! She just got--"

"Get out. Now." he roared as he grabbed her with his tentacles and going back inside the laboratory. Frustrated, I stomped downstairs, in search of Toby and the other person who was with him. It looked like Sally. When I couldn't find them, I took out my knife out of my hoodie pocket, and went outside. I passed Elise and Ben training, and walked deep into the woods. I began to nuzzle my knife, until I saw a figure under a tree. When I walked a little closer, I noticed a person, who had a blue, leather jacket and black hair. Its back was facing me. I tackled it and let out a chuckle. What was I doing? I haven't killed anyone since--

"Jeffrey?"

No way. This can't be possible.

"Helen?"

I immediately stood up from him as he did the same, picking up his sketchbook. He cleaned his jacket, which was covered in leaves and dirt. He had been the same as the last time I saw him. He had his mask on. And same clothes. Same ol' Bloody Painter. "What? Oh god. Where have you been? We've been looking everywhere for you," I remarked.

"Sorry," he started, "I've been looking for Gia."

"Any news from her?" I questioned. He shook his head no. I invited him over to the mansion, and on our way, I told him everything. Literally everything. We stopped in the kitchen. "You mean Sky got her memory back?" he asked. I nodded my head. "That's good to know,"

A voice interrupted us. It kinda sounded like Ben.

"Um, guys, I have a problem,"

We both looked over at Ben. " 'Sup, Helen?"

"Hey," was all Helen said. "What's the problem?" I grunted. As soon as I asked that, Ben raised his hand. His hand was frozen. Literally. Helen snorted. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to!" I heard Elise coming in. "If you would've moved maybe I wouldn't have struck your hand!" she yelled. "Why can't you be this good when it comes to an actual real fight," Ben murmured.

"What was that?" she asked, taking out her sword. Ben screeched.

"Are they dating?" Helen asked me. I shook my head no. Elise and Ben both looked at us and shot us a dead glare. "We are not dating!" they both yelled in unison. "Not now," I remarked.

"I would never date this jerk!" fumed Elise. "And I would never date a girly-goody-two-pants," Ben sneered at Elise. Helen and I walked out of the kitchen. Before we left, Helen commented, "I can already hear the church bells ringing."

I think that triggered them even more.
