Readers POV
Lyrisa, Tomo and I all put away the shopping and carry on with our day. Tomo heads up stairs, and of course. Lyrisa bugs me for details of what happened.
"So? How'd it go?"
She smiles as she puts away the last item. The tub of ice cream.
"Anything interesting?"
I pause for a moment. I wasn't sure to tell her about the kiss. She may push too far and I may regret telling her. But at the same time. I felt so excited and almost in a rush to tell her.
"You could say something interesting occurred.."
I ramble as I make my way to the sofa. Lyrisa runs after me, grabbing my arms and yanking me down onto the seat. Crossing her legs and facing me straight on, forcing me to look at her.
"Tell, Me, Everything! I need details!"
I chuckle to her enthusiasm, watching as her mouth hangs ajar, preparing for the news.
"Well.. on the way home.. We may have-"
"May have what?! May have what?!"
"Well if you'd let me finish I could tell you!"
"Sorry! I'm just so excited to hear!"
We both laugh together, before resitting ourselves to get more comfortable.
"We may have...Kissed.."

Silence. I watch as Lyrisa's face begins to light up brighter and brighter as a large smile forms on her features, her cheeks almost stretching up to her eyeballs.
"Oh.. My.. GODDD!!"
She squeals like a school girl meeting her favourite band. Bouncing up and down on the spot and she shakes my shoulders.
"[Name]!! That's amazing! How was it? Who kissed first? Was it him? Did you kiss back?! How long did it last? Did he like it? Did you like it?!"
Lyrisa bombarded me with so many questions I felt like my mind was going to explode. So, I simply stand up. And answer them all at once, just how she asked them.
"Good. He did. Yes it was. Yes I did. A few seconds. I hope so. I did."
With that. I gasp for breath before making my way upstairs.
"Wait.. what? HEY! Wait I'm not finished!"
"I'm finished! I'm going for a bath!"

Ticci Toby's POV
I watch angrily as BEN appears in my Tv, reading a list of names from my missing list.
"Toby. As well as all these. Slender wants to talk with you. He has no idea you're here. Only I do. Slender will kill you AND me if he finds out. He's getting angrier by the second that your list isn't being completed. I'll find some help with a few of the names but some you'll have to deal with yourself.
You need to come back. Even for just a short while! The longer you stay gone. The more you may lose.. your 'edge'."
"BEN. I'm n-not losing my edge!"
"Then come back and prove it! Complete the list!"
Sighing irritatedly. I tell BEN that I'll be over in half an hour. But what I needed to decide was. Do I tell [Name] I'm leaving for a bit. Or do I just leave and hope she won't notice?
I should just leave without telling. If I tell her I'm leaving. She may question where and why I'm going. And I can't think of any excuses.
Making my way to the window. I quietly open it and climb into the tree branch which happened to be in reach and thick enough to support my weight. Climbing down carefully, I quickly make my way into the woods. Back to Slenders mansion.

~**~

Taking a deep breath, I open the door to which hell may be unleashed. Stepping into the mansion. I'm greeted by a tall standing Slender. Relieved looking BEN, an angry looking Jeff and excited looking Clockwork. The first to approach me were CW and Jeff. CW runs to me, swinging her arms around my neck, yanking me all around as she 'hugs' me. More like torment or torture.
"Toby! You're finally home! Where have you been! I was worried baby! I missed my little Tobster!"
Not long after CW's disgusting greeting, Jeff comes to me and punches me directly in the face, on the cheek just above my scar.
"You asshole! Where the fuck have you been! Your psycho girlfriend 'Clocky' wouldn't stop bugging me about where you were!"
Annoyed and now with a sore face. I push CW off of me, removing her latched arms from around me.
"F-First of all. She's n-not my girlfriend. S-Second of all-"
"That's enough."
Before I could finish my rant. Slender interrupted me, causing me to stop.
"Jeff, Clockwork, BEN. Go to you rooms. I must talk with Toby. Alone."
Following his orders. All three of them head off in their own directions. Jeff scoffing and huffing. BEN just 'poofs' and CW whined like a child. But eventually they all left.
"My office. Now."
With that, he teleports away. Leaving me to make my own way there. But it wouldn't take me long.

Once I reach his office, I don't bother to knock. He was expecting me anyway.
Once inside, I'm greeted by BP as he stands next to Slenders desk, leaning against his bookshelf, fiddling a blood coated paintbrush between his gloved fingers.
"Wh-Why is he here?"
I question as I make my way over to Slender. Even sat down, he was huge.
"You are no longer trusted alone outside the mansion walls. You disappeared without a word for months. No missions completed or attempted. The notes hadn't even been touched. From now on, Painter will accompany you wherever you go. Whether that's inside the mansion, outside or during missions."
This was bad. If i have to be followed by Bloody Painter wherever I go. I won't be able to see [Name]. This was bad.
"You c-can't do that! I forbid to allow th-th-this painting freak to accompany m-me!"
"You will have no choice in the matter! Painter will accompany you or you will punished severely. Without aid or medical help afterwards. You will be left to die alone."
"This- *tic* This isn't fair! I found a home outside the m-m-mansion! I'll complete the list. Move out an-and continue to complete my missions f-from there!"

There was a silence that was quickly broken by BP speaking up.
"I have an idea. Slender, it's seems Toby here has lost his insane killing touch. So, for the next couple of days. I'll train him. Get his missions completed, with extras. Getting that rich pure psychopath nature back into him."
"Wh-What?! N-No! You cant!"
If BP trains me, and I become insane again. I'll never see [Name]. And if I do, I would be scared of what I may do when I see her. I don't wanna hurt her.
"Slender y-you can't-"
"Enough Toby! Painter. You have a week to train Toby and complete his mission list."
"S-Slender please don't-!"
Before I could plead my case, Slender teleports out of the room. Leaving me alone with a chuckling Bloody Painter as he watches me through his mask.
