(COMPLETE) The Legend of TinderWood (A Slenderman Story)

Part Eight: Ticci Toby

[Hoodie's P.O.V.]

I stood outside of July and Stark's cabin, pissed. How DARE Tim give me the finger! He was my best friend! My only friend!

A few minutes later, there was a commotion in the house. Then Tim ran out of the house, looking pissed. "Tim, are you okay?" I called. He didn't seem to hear me, so I decided to follow him. He started running, but I kept perfect pace with him. Until I decided to give up and walk, realizing where he was going. He was headed home.

It took me to realize that Master was standing behind me. I turned, looking up at his blank face. I murmured, "Can I help you?" He shook his head, saying, No, but you can help Tim. A future proxy attacked his grandmother. He is going to need your help to get him under control. Now go to your friend. He disappeared before I could ask any questions or deny my new mission. Muttering some colorful words and shoving my hands into my hoodie pockets, I continued my way to Tim's house.

[Tim's P.O.V.]
I stared up at the ax-holding psycho covered in blood. My mom and Gama's blood. Blood of my kin. MY kin! An odd feeling came over me; one that badly wanted to hurt this person. Not kill him. Oh, no, not kill him. He didn't deserve to die.

"Why did you kill my family?" I asked, forcing my voice to stay steady. He laughed, saying, "I was bored." And that got me even more mad. He didn't have a reason for why he killed my family! I rested Gama's limp body on the ground and stood to come face-to-face with this guy.

He had the nerve to try and shake my hand. I smacked it away, glaring at the guy. "So before I brutally injure you, what is your name?" The guy smiled — or what I think was supposed to be a smile — and said, "My name is Toby Rodgers, Tim, but Master calls me Ticci Toby." His neck kept twitching to the side as he said this.

"How do you know my name?" I growled, ready to kick this kid's ass. Ticci Toby laughed, "Because Master Slender told me. He said me and you and some other guy will work for him as a group. And he told me to tell you that you are going to be called 'Masky'."

"......"

"....."

The front door flew open to reveal Hoodie and the Tallman. Hoodie yelled, "STOP THE FIGHT!" before realizing that we weren't fighting. Ticci Toby laughed. I flipped Hoodie off....again. This habit was kind of fun, flipping Hoodie off and all.

But Tallman didn't seem too amused. "If you two and Toby are going to be a team, you need to learn how to work together!" "TOBY KILLED MY FAMILY, TALLMAN," I shouted. "HOW COULD I WORK WITH HIM???" "Because you will," Tallman growled. "And my name is Slenderman, not Tallman!"

"I'll work with them too," someone said. A female someone. I looked over my shoulder to see July standing in the kitchen a few feet away from Gama. Gama's body. Whatever. Don't remind me. Walking to stand next to me, a few yards away from Slenderman, she continued, "Hello there, Slender."

Slenderman nodded tightly, murmuring, "Nice to see you again, Mystique. It's been a long time." July muttered, "I go by 'July,' Slenderman. Proxy or not."

"Alright then, July."

I stared at July and her awesomeness. She was so cool! And so mysteriously cute at times. Wait, what? Cute? I was going crazy. She was my work partner! Apparently. So this was basically an unofficial proxy meeting? Cool!
