**Janis POV**
The Slendermen were holding me captive. After what happened to Camille, I... I didn't want to help them at all. But what choice did I have? If they let go of me, Zalgo might take me instead and either way it was a horrible fate, both had done so much to Camille...
So far, Slender hadn't killed me or corrupted me like I knew Zalgo could.
At the moment, I was to hold my tongue because something had come up. ______, that girl whom Camille had really liked was gone. Was it Camille or was it Zalgo all along? I would never know now lest Zalgo told me himself, for the poor girl who I loved ever so much with all my heart had passed on.
I could only pray her restless soul had found peace in the afterlife where she could no longer be tortured by Zalgo.
"What do you mean you can't find her? She is your girlfriend, isn't she?" Slender asked Offenderman.
"I think she fucking bolted when we teleported here," he answered hysterically, grabbing onto his hat with a stressed grip.
"How would you have not known she was planning that? You can read her mind!"
Oh. That's right, maybe it was best I didn't inform them. I am a psychic as I have already told them, but what I have not told them is much more than they really should know.
I can protect the thoughts of my own and another's mind, and occasionally, if I've had a good night's rest, I can use telekinesis, however at the moment only one of these was relevant.
I can't really recall why I did it, but I wanted to protect _______.
"No, no, it was different! All of her thoughts were super vague and I couldn't- I can't- GAH! This is so fucking upsetting. I teleported to where we had been, then to her house, even into town, but she wasn't anywhere, absolutely nowhere!" Offender exclaimed, grinding his teeth.
"Why would she have done that?" Jeff piped up. "What the fuck did you do?"
"I protected her when she was attacked by a minion of Zalgo, but I guess she didn't really appreciate that."
"He's trying to say he killed... A little girl named Camille," I said.
Jeff shrugged. "Yeah? So?"
I felt a hot flash of anger but I didn't dare show it. "They were friends."
"Oh, ok yeah, I can see where that's a bit of a problem," Jeff said, then turned to Offender. "You're fucked dude, girl's don't like it when you kill their friends."
"And you would know you sadistic meat bag," Offender shot back.
"Everyone! Calm down! Let us commence a search to find her alright? Then we can talk about what to do after all of us have looked," Slenderman said. "You stay here Janis, we will return."
______... She was kind of a friend to me too. Anyone who could make Camille smile was precious to me, and she had done that for her when she was alive.
I made a decision as they got ready to teleport away. "No, I want to help. I will go with you and I won't leave your sight, I can swear on that," I said.
Slender sighed and then grabbed onto me as well. "Alright. Splendor, Eyeless Jack and Kagekao will watch the mansion while we're gone. Let's go everyone."
-
We'd teleported into town but once we did, Slender took me and Ben and teleported once more into a patch of woods. He seemed to be doing that so that we could cover more ground in other areas.
"So, you're Janis? Can I call you Jan?" Ben asked as we began searching through the trees.
"I guess. I know you, you're Ben Drowned. I know that you're thinking of flirting but I am not interested in that endeavor."
"Ah fuck, you aren't a mind reader are you?"
"Yes."
"Well, there goes my plans. So, you saw _______ last, where was she?"
"We were near the carnival. She... I don't know, but I have a really bad feeling I know where she is."
"What do you mean?"
"Zalgo." Slender perked up at the mention of the name.
"You don't think- No way, she couldn't have been? Oh god, what if she is though?" Ben questioned.
"What about Zalgo?" Slender asked.
"I have a feeling he has done something to her, as if Camille's death was part of some wicked plan to lead her away from you guys... I don't know, but I just feel it sinking here." I held my left breast where my heart pounded within my chest. "I don't think this is _______'s fault."
"She did happen to be the one who ran away in the first place however," Slender said.
"But it was what prompted her to run that matters. Besides the point, if we don't find her here, I think it's safe to assume Zalgo has her. He was after her in the park," I claimed.
"Yeah, Zalgo probably did something really shady Slendy, I wouldn't doubt it for a moment. This isn't like ______ at all," Ben remarked.
Without another word, Slender turned away and left us to continue searching. He must have had something on his mind that was bothering him as well...
-
As I had thought, no one had been able to locate ______, but somehow, the Rake had found a shred of clothing near the tea shop that belonged to her.
Slender turned to me as he held the scrap in his hand. "You really think she was abducted?"
"Yes, I feel it deep down, I know she was. She loves you guys... Why would she just leave you like that? Even if she did run away, she would have come back," I answered. She did really love Offender and the rest of the family, she was thinking highly of them before she ran away, but she was hurt. It was understandable that she felt the way she did.
Slender's face pointed towards the floor, as if he were to be looking down and then he shook his head. "This is a lot to take in. Tonight, we will think about what to do and tomorrow we will discuss a solution. It is dangerous to jump Zalgo if we don't have all the evidence we need to confront him. It could just be very coincidental, and there would be a lot of needless death just to discover he didn't actually kidnap her."
There was some protest but I spoke up in agreement with him. He was right, if Zalgo didn't actually have ______, so many of the people standing in this room wouldn't be here anymore... "He's right. Let's just think on it."
"Janis. I would request that you stay here until we recover _____," Slender said.
"That's fine. I would have it no other way."
Hopefully, ________ was going to be ok.
