Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 20

"Elise, darling, come here for a moment, please," called my dad from the living room. I walked towards the living room to see mom and dad, sitting on the couch. "Would you sit down, sweetie?" asked mom. I did as she told me to and cocked an eyebrow. "Is everything alright?"

"Well," dad started, "we've just been worried,"

"About what?" I tilted my head to a side.

"You," responded mom. I narrowed my eyes, giving them a puzzled look. "You have been leaving the house for a long time, and we don't even know where you go! You come back late at night! We don't hang out much as a family anymore," muttered mom.

I look down in shame and regret. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright as long as you're not doing anything wrong...." remarked dad. I looked up at them as a silent gasp escaped from my lips. "I assure you, mom and dad, that I'm not doing anything wrong. I've just been over to Taylor's, Riley's and Daniel's. Taylor was also in the hospital, remember?" I lied. I felt so much guilt by lying to them. I never lie to them. We never lie
to each other.

"You're right, honey. I'm sorry. We're just so paranoid. And you're our only child. Just, tell us whenever your out, okay?" spoke mom. I nodded my head and kissed both of their cheeks. I walked upstairs and practiced the piano for two hours.

.....

"Hello?"

"Oh my GOSH. ELISE," squealed Riley from the phone. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's Daniel!"

"What about him?"

"H-he kissed me! And I kissed him back! And it felt so good! And we're dating,"

I let out a chuckle. "Wow, Riley. I'm glad!"

Riley had to stop talking because she would squeal and get too excited. "It was about time! You know for how long I had a crush on him,"

"Three years," I mumbled.

"I know!,"

*SLENDERMAN'S P.O.V*

I was in my office, organizing some papers and records, until I heard a knock. "Come in," I called. Masky and Hoodie opened the door and walked in.

"Sir! It's an emergency--!" yelled Masky.

"What is it?" I asked.

"We were working as usual and The Rake and The Twins are near!" exclaimed Hoodie.

Oh, no. The Twins are the Belladonna Sisters. This can't possibly be good.

"They must be looking for Skyleigh and power."

"Sir," started Masky, "by power, do you mean--"

"Yes, Masky, I mean Miss Elise. We can all see she is far more powerful than what Skyleigh was. They can sense power, and they can sense Elise," I spoke.

"Sir, we follow your orders, what should we do?" questioned Hoodie.

"Warn the others and Elise. Watch over her and Skyleigh. I will personally go over to Evil,"

"But, Sir, are y-you sure? I don't think Evil could--" Masky started but I interrupted him. "Do as I say and don't tell me what to do!"

"Yes, Sir," Masky mumbled. "Go!"

"Yes, Sir," Masky and Hoodie said as they walked out.

This can't be good. This is far worse than I imagined.

....

Evil's 'house' was dark and gloomy. As always. It didn't have a door so I let myself in.

"Ahhh, well, if it isn't the Slenderman," he spoke.

"Evil," I started, "it has been so long. My apologies. I need your help,"

"Hmm. Did you need my help when you found out Skyleigh Woods was the proxy? Or did you need my help to send the Lord back to slumber?" Evil emerged from the shadows. I let out a sigh. "I'm sorry,"

"It's okay. Let me guess. You need help with Elise, probably The Rake and The Twins,"

I nodded my head.

"Well, Slenderman, you have come to the right guy," he chuckled, "of course, they're relatives of the Lord Zalgo, and they obviously want what Zalgo wanted. Power. Chaos. And since you guys are on their way.... Anyway, where could they find all that?"

"Us." I spoke.

"Ahah. But besides you guys, there's Skyleigh and Elise. But I sense more power in Elise. They're gonna have to want Elise more. She holds a power so immense, that when she releases it, there's no one stopping her,"

"Like Skyleigh did?" I asked him.

"No," he said, "stronger and more powerful than Skyleigh. She is Skyleigh's Guardian. Imagine what type of power the Guardian has,"

Holy crap.... If Miss Elise releases a power like that. What could happen?

Evil began to laugh. "What do you suggest we do?" I questioned.

"Train her more than you trained Skyleigh. I heard The Rake and The Twins are far more powerful now. If you don't train her good enough, she is done for. Activate and release all the power she holds."

"One more thing..." I commented, "what do they want to do to Elise? Besides stealing her power and forming chaos,"

Evil chuckled slightly. "The Twins, along with The Rake and other relatives, have a beast deep in the caves of their realm. They will have Skyleigh as their laboratory rat and test her to see if she could go against it. Or, since, you know, the Guardian protects Skyleigh from anything, she could take her place. But, that won't happen if you don't allow it."

"Shit..."

*BEN'S P.O.V*

I'm getting so fucking tired of Sonic. I fucking hate him so much. I'm gonna do something I did to Jeff four years ago so I can get him out of here. "I hate that hedgehog!" I exclaimed.

"Aw, me? Thanks. I didn't know you cared so much about me," I heard a voice from behind me say. I turned around to see Sonic floating. "What do you want,"

"Nothing," he commented.

"Well, then, I wanna show you something,"
