Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 27

*SLENDERMAN'S P.O.V*

"The Slenderman? Here so soon?" laughed Evil, emerging from the shadows of his 'home'. "I know why you're here. You're worried because of Elise's behavior, aren't you?"

"Yes." I answered firmly.

He laughed. "Isn't it obvious? It's a curse,"

What? She can't be cursed! Not in a time like this. It's far too dangerous.

"From who," I questioned. "The Twins of course. The Rake was no part of it. But there's a catch. They didn't curse her, they cursed her necklace. You can, you know, take the necklace from her and make your silly proxies study it. That's what they all want, what their Lord would've wanted, power. It's important that none of them get in touch with it,"

Her necklace? But, isn't that--

"Thank you, Evil."

.....

I told Ben exactly what Evil told me. He was desperate and frustrated. Mostly frustrated because he couldn't help her. "I'll get rid of her necklace," he spoke.

"Benjamin," I started, "I will take care of this situation along with Masky, Hoodie and Toby. There's no need for you to introvert it."

"Okay. But, I need to help--"

"As long as you're actually willing to help. I will gladly let you," I cut him off.

"Sir, it all makes perfect sense. The bad humors, the drastic changes of her personality. If she takes it off, will she know what she did was wrong? Will she even remember?" questioned Masky. I sighed deeply. "I don't know, Timothy. But we need to figure all this out before she does,"

"Yes, sir," said Masky, Hoodie and Toby.

"She was telling me a few weeks ago of how she would've given the necklace to 'them'. I was extremely confused." stammered Ben.

What?

"Oh, no. She was willing to give in her powers."

*JEFF'S P.O.V*

I accidentally overheard Slendy's conversation with Ben and the proxies. It actually makes more sense of why Elise was acting that way. I always thought she only wanted a little change. More like a major change. I wonder what Ben's gonna do now.

I dropped my cigarette on the floor and stepped on it, putting it out. I walked inside the mansion, into the kitchen and poured some vodka on a glass. I put the bottle of vodka away and started to drink the glass. I saw Masky and Hoodie walking by. "Hey," I called. Masky and Hoodie both stopped and looked directly at me. "What," sighed Masky.

"How's Sky?" I questioned.

"Jeffrey, we don't have time for--"

"What? You don't have time for Sky? You have the time of the world for Elise, but not for Sky. Sky is not okay! She needs medical attention." I cut Masky off. "We're actually in some kind of fucked up situation with Elise here. So when we finish with Elise, we attend Skyleigh. Slenderman's orders," remarked Hoodie.

I placed the glass of vodka on the counter and gritted my teeth. "Who's currently attending her," I asked through clinched teeth.

"Slenderman," responded Masky and Hoodie in unison. I began to grunt. "Get out."

"Jeffrey--" started Masky.

"Get the fuck out," I roared, banging the counter with my fist. They both just stared at me and walked away from the kitchen. I finished drinking the vodka and placed the glass down along with the non-washed dishes. I made my way to the laboratory and quietly opened the door.
