Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 65

GUYS! It's snowing right now(not that much though but STILL) Christmas bros! I'll have to put some Christmas stuff in my chapter! But that's a surprise for you. Merry very very very early Christmas!

"Aghh." I groaned as I rubbed my head. I didn't notice the teenager who knocked me out standing in the corner. Looking around, I noticed that I wasn't at my house anymore.
"Your finally up." Said the boy in the corner, making me quickly turn and jump. He was wearing a grey floppy beanie, a grey scarf, black jeans, black fingerless gloves, and a black sweater. The only thing that was strange were his yellow glowing eyes and mouth.  "Where are we? Who are you?" I interrogated him, making him step into some light.
This place was almost pitch black, since it was late at night. There also weren't any windows except for a light in the center. I noticed some ladders to the right of the square shaped room; they were rusting.
"Your talking to the great Puppeteer." He said, as he summons yellow glowing string on his fingers. They grabbed my left hand and shook, making my hand wave. "Oh and we're under your house. Didn't you know you had a basement?" He chuckled and unwrapped the strings from my hand. He stared at me while doing so.
"How did you know I was here?" I said, gritting my teeth and clenching my fists. The Puppeteer was making me pretty mad. He knocked me out in my own house for goodness sake. "I've been stalking the family for...maybe a year? Ahah." He grins and twirls his fingers in the air, making cool shapes with his strings.
"Why are you here?" I asked, backing up into a corner. He walked closer to me,"I'm only here to do my job. I need a new puppet since your bloody parents won't work. They're all broken and my other puppets are worn out, but some of them are still in good shape. Sadly, they'll only last a few days, that's why I need you. "
"Um...worn out from what?" I ask, pressing my whole body against the wall. "Worn out from doing too much performances on stage." He smiled, his breath touching my soft skin. He back away and stared at his hands.
Run y/n run! It's a good time! He's distracted right now!
That was the only thing I knew what to do for the time being. If I did anything else, I would get myself hurt- or worse- killed. I ran to the rusty ladder and started to climb, but something prevented me from moving any longer. Looking at my hands, I saw those long, glowing strings wrapped around my wrists tightly. "No, no, no, no." He laughed, his hands shoved deep into his pockets.
"Your not going anywhere, we're going to do a performance downtown. Let's go." I suddenly started to push open the door that was above the ladder and climbed out. As I was starting to look around, I realized that I was in the tv room, where Toby, Jeff, Lj, and I played Super Smash Bros.
Those were the good times...
The couch was pushed back, that's why I've never seen the trap door in my entire life!
   "What no, I'm not working for you." I said, shaking my head as I started to close the trap door on the Puppeteer. "Now now Y/n don't be like that." He said as he smiled and took control of me,"I do have power over you, don't I?"
    "Yes." I said without wanting to, since the strings somehow could control my mouth and vocal cords. "I could take over your whole brain if I wanted to!" He laughed maniacally.
    "Let's go get my other puppets." He said as he opened the front door. My legs were, of course, walking out of the house without me using a muscle.
I don't like this one bit.

BEN's POV

"Y/n? Y/n!" I shrieked as I saw a shadow looming behind her. She didn't seem started though, but me on the other hand. I was flipping out. Everything goes black on her side all of a sudden, as I was watching her from the webcam while talking to her.
Holy shit I need to tell Slenderman!
"SLENDERMAN!" I scream as I break out of my room and zoom down the stairs, in and out of rooms, and into his office without knocking.
    "BEN what have I tol-"
    "SLENDERMAN Y/N GOT KIDNAPPED OR SOMETHING!" I shouted as I rubbed my forehead free of sweat. "What? By what?" Slenderman asked calmly, setting his "How to Contact Through Portals" book down and holding his hands together.
   "I don't know, all I know is that it was a human shadow and nothing else!" I started to freak out inside my head. Where is she now?
Is she dying? Hopefully not.
What do we do?
Do we try to contact her? Slenderman's was reading the book after all.
How do we find the murderer?
What happens next if we can't find y/n?
"BEN, please stay calm your giving me a headache. I'll call all the creepypastas into the living room and tell them the bad news. Then we can start searching for y/n." He says as he walks out the door. I sprint out and stick to his side, looking around and jumping onto the living room couch.
Please be safe y/n.
