Ticci Toby x Clockwork (Fate of Lovers) pt.1

~Chapter 3~

As I walked all around town looking for the girl, I started to panic a little. What if I never see her again? What if the only real chance I have is with the girl I just met? I sighed and there was a hint of worry in my chest. I knew the possibility of seeing her again wasn't as small as I thought it would be considering this was a small town, but I also knew that she could've been a rookie killer and caught by the cops last night. While these possibilities plagued my thoughts, I found that I had been looking for her for most of the night, and now it was already morning and the sun was coming up. I realized if I was going to continue my search then I needed to ditch my killer attire. I then took off my jacket/sweater, mouth guard, goggles, and hatchet belt, and threw them into the woods. I actually looked fairly normal for once, aside from my much needed haircut, and interval twitches.

I searched for another hour or two before finally deciding to give up on her. The sinking reality that I'll probably never see that chick again began to hit me. I admit that I was becoming discouraged. That feeling was following me around like one of those rain clouds you see in cartoons. Just then, somebody had bumped into me. We had both fell backwards onto our asses, and for a minute I was distracted from my melancholy feeling. The sadness was replaced with frustration "Hey! Watch where the fuck you're going you stupid fucking-" I immediately stopped fussing when I noticed it was her. I was at a loss for words. I had actually managed to get lucky for once in my miserable life! While I felt like rejoicing, she quickly stood up. "Meanie." she was getting ready to run away, but I grabbed her arm and started to drag her towards the woods. No you're not escaping this time. But of course she put up a fight with me...a damn good one at that. I began to wonder how one girl could be this strong!

I  had finally let go of her arm when we entered the woods. "What the fuck!!! Don't touch me!" She shouted at me with venom in her words. If I didn't feel so strongly about her then I'd slap the everloving shit out of her. "Alright girl listen up, why did you kill my victims the other night?" I asked her with honest curiosity. She chuckled at me and I noticed a bit of insanity and bloodlust drip from her words..."I didn't know they were you're victims." The wind picked up and blew her bangs away to reveal her clock eye. After a short silence, she introduced herself. "Natalie. My name is Natalie but you better never call me that. Call me Clockwork or Nat." Damn, she is amazing.  "Nice to meet you. Well, you're obviously not a normal serial killer. You're a loose monster...a blank canvas and possible proxy. I need for you to meet my boss." I said, making up excuses to keep her with me. "You can't possibly believe that you can make me come with you. I hardly even know you! I don't even know your name." She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. I smirked confidently at her. "My name is Toby Rogers but you can call me Ticci Toby." I suddenly picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. "Put me down now!!!" she pounded her small fists against my back, but I ignored her.

"Let's be on our way." I said confidently as I trekked through the woods like normal. Clockwork had eventually given up on the struggle after 20 minutes. When I was sure she was out of energy I let her down to walk beside me. I could feel her glare on me but every time I looked at her, she looked away from me. She was pissed and her clock was ticking furiously fast. I took note that it's speed changed based on her emotional state, and for whatever odd reason... I kind of liked it. "Please let me go." She pleaded when we stopped in front of Slender mansion. "PLeAsE lEt mE gO. Whaaaaah!!! Boo-hoo!!!" I mocked her. She swung at my face immediately and missed her shot as I quickly ducked away. However, when I had thought that I'd escaped, she used her other hand to land a rough punch my stomach. Damn she got me... I like her. She then made off like she was going to run. "Can't get away from me that easily!" I exclaimed as I grabbed her waist and snatched her back before she could run away. "GET OFF ME!!!" She scratched my face. I pinched her neck painfully. She pulled my hair as I tried to pull hers. Before I knew it, we had started a full fledged fight. Slenderman must've heard us fighting because he had arrived and seperated us with his tendrils. "Toby, I told you to not leave last night and you still... Who is this?" Slender's words stopped immediately. I struggled to break free of his hold and he dropped me to the ground. I stood up quickly and dusted myself off before speaking. "This is Clockwork...your new Creepypasta."
