Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 22

I opened my eyes and looked around to see myself in a white room. It looked like a hospital room. I began to panic.

What happened to me?

I sat up on the bed, taking the sheets off me and placing my feet on the floor, feeling a sharp pain. I whimpered. I looked at myself and saw that I was wearing a hospital gown. I really am in a hospital. What happened to me?

I started to stroll slowly to the door. I opened it and I didn't see the hospital hallway. No, instead, I saw the hallway of the mansion. "Mrs. Davis! You can't be up!" I heard Masky say, walking towards me. I nodded my head and walked back to the bed, laying on it. "What happened to me?" I asked Masky. Masky walked in with some kind of papers and closed the door behind him. "What is the last thing you remember?" he asked me back before sitting down next to the bed I was laying on. "Running away from Sonic. And tripping on a huge rock." I responded.

"You fell down a hill," he started, "luckily, Sonic was able to get out of the freezing mess you had caused him and teleport to you, and when he saw you, he quickly went to tell us."

I let out a gasp. "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two hours. We were able to cure your cuts and such. You still have a couple of bruises, though," he remarked. "I need to head back to my home. When can I leave?"

"In an hour or so. If you're feeling well. You're lucky it wasn't that harsh. Let me tell the others you're okay," he said, standing up with his papers and exiting the room. I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes to rest for a little bit. I opened my eyes once again and tilted my head to a side and saw a piece of paper taped to the nightstand. I picked it up and saw a drawing of myself. Underneath it, it read;

I hope you feel better soon.
-Bloody Painter (Helen Otis)

That's until I heard a voice. "Are you okay? You had me so worried,"

I looked over to see Ben. My eyes widened slightly. Before I could've commented anything he went on and wrapped me in a hug. He was warm. And he smelled like chocolate chip cookies that just came out of the oven. I didn't think twice and hugged him back. I played with his hair for a little bit and twirled my finger around his blonde hair, making him shiver. I tried to finally pull away from the hug, but he wouldn't. "You smell like cookies." I finally said. He pulled away from the hug and glanced at me before sitting on the chair. I noticed blood was dripping from his eyes. "Yeah, um, Slendy was baking some cookies. Want some?"

I studied his face for a moment and shook my head no. "No, thanks."

"How are you feeling?" he questioned me.

"To be honest. I feel okay. I don't feel hurt or anything. Some bruises still hurt when I touch them, but it's alright, I guess." I shrugged. "I'll kill that motherfucker," he mumbled.

Holy crap.

"Huh?" I tilted my head to a side.

"He did this to you,"

"Who? Sonic?" I inquired. He nodded his head, looking down. "He didn't do anything to hurt me. We were just training. It was my fault I fell down that hill,"

"Elise, I promise I won't let anyone hurt you," he promised. The only thing I did was to nod my head and smile. "Cause I'm dreaming, of you tonight. 'Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight," he started singing. "And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be, than here in my room, dreaming about you and me," I finished singing with him. I knew that song! We used to sing it! Oh, how I love and miss the singer. I could never forget that song!
