Ticci Toby's POV
My head felt drowsy and heavy, a pounding headache banging away at my skull. I couldn't help but groan as I slowly peel open my eyes. I go to lift my hand to rub the back of my head but something keeps my hand in place, preventing any movement. Shifting my gaze down, I notice that both my hands and my ankles had been chained down.
Just as my confusion grows, I suddenly hear the loud rattle of more chains being moved. Shooting my glare in the direction of the source, I spot a blurry figure raising and attaching chains to a ceiling restrain. As the figure pulled, locked arms begin to raise limply. As if to hold someone up to prevent them flopping down. I couldn't see the figure doing this or the person chained up. All I knew was that I was in trouble. Though I had a feeling that the person didn't know I was awake so I remain quiet, watching as their shadow leaves the room. As soon as it does, I call out to the restrained person.
"H-Hey..! What's going on..!?"
I call out as quiet as I can to not be heard but enough for the person to hear me. Though there was no response. I try to focus my blurred vision on them tightly.
"H-Hello? Are you -"
Before I finish, I interrupt myself. The blow to my head effected my vision but it didn't last long and I was finally able to see the person chained up. I saw every wound and every droplet of blood. The very sight of it broke my heart.
"[NAME]?!!?"
I cry out as I desperately tug on my chains. Her seemingly unconscious body hung there from her shoulders with her arms above her head as blood dribbled from her many many wounds.
"[Name]?! W-Wake up! - F-Fuck FUCK!"
I yell as I realise she was out cold. I hated who ever did this to her and I was determined to kill the bastard who harmed her.

I try my best to listen out for any signs of life inside of her, but her breathing was so quiet and weak. She barely took full breaths. Her body was so limp, so sore and damaged. Her blood soaked hair hung down in front of her face from her dropping head. Seeing her like this, angered me, frustrated me, enraged me.
"Y-YOU BASTARDS!!"
I bellow at the top of my lungs as my head arches back to allow maximum volume. Whoever did this was going to pay.
Just then, the door begins to make sounds as if to be unlocked before it's pushed open and three familiar identities enter the room. Painter, EJ and LJ. I growl furiously. Grinding my teeth as the three approach me.
"Good morning sunshine. Pleasant sleep?"
Painter chuckles as he folds his arms. His revolting mask locked on me.
"So, I guess you've seen the fun Puppeteer had with your lady friend there."
LJ winks and he points in the direction of [Name]. I was shocked. Puppeteer has been sent on a year long mission, but he had only been gone 6 months. Why was he back so soon?
"P-Puppeteer? B-But? It's only been-"
"What? Only been 6 months? Yeah we know. He completed his mission early. Which is more than we can say for you."
LJ growls are my response. None of us liked to be questioned. I know the especially from previous killings I've made. But in this moment in time. They're the predators and I'm the prey. I was now the one with my life on the line. So like any other victim, my head was filled with questions.
"Wh-Why am I h-here? Why is [Name] here?!"
There was silence as none of them seemed to be bothered to answer my question. Well, apart from EJ. He tsks with an irritated tone as he stands tall over me.
"You've pissed off Slender too many times. You need to learn your lesson! Although... painters injection to make you feel pain from when he last tortured you as probably worn off and he doesn't have anymore. So instead, we decided that, what best way to torture you, than to harm the thing you love most."
He grumbles, gesturing with a nod of his head, in the direction of [Name]'s unconscious body. I felt betrayed. EJ and I used to be close. He would put up with me at least. What happened Jack...
"I can't be- *tic* believe you assholes are d-doing this!
Though my anger and emotional pain just seemed to amuse them, especially Painter as a faint chuckle seeps behind his mask.
"Watch it Rogers. In case you haven't realised yet. The more you do wrong, the more we hurt your whore."
"SHE IS N-NOT A WHORE! YOU FUCK!""
I shout out in rage at his person as I push myself forward as much as possible. Saliva spitting all over his mask.
Though, this does not phase him in the slightest. As I breathe heavily due to the energy lost through my yelling, I watch as Painter turns to the other two.
"EJ, LJ, I think it's time we punish Toby for his behaviour, don't you? EJ, get the needle and wake her up. LJ. Prepare yourself and get ready. It's your turn for some fun."
Painter and LJ laugh together deeply as they walk away from me, leaving the room. But EJ. He remains to Inject [Name] with the liquid to wake her from her unconscious state.
"EJ. W-Why are you do-doing this? I thought we were friends-"
"One thing you should remember about us killers Toby."
He pauses from his work on [Name] and turns to face me with a stern stance.
"You never make friends.-"
"B-But you did. Y-You made m-m-more than a friend. She was your lover!
Y-You even had a child with her EJ!"
What I said seem to hit him as his body flinched a little. A loud deep growl bellows out as he storms over to me, standing close and appearing patronising from his height.
"That was different. She was one of us. A killer. She had a unique power-"
"I'm a k-killer! What's th-the difference between being friends with her and me?!"
"My personal life has nothing to do with you Toby Rogers."
"Jack. Y-You, her and your child l-left here with kagekao. Years later y-you, her and kagekao returned, w-without your child. W-Wh-What happened..?"
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ROGERS! Asking me such a question! Why do you care so much!"
Jack was highly defensive on the topic. But I needed answers.. I needed to know why he was becoming so distant with me, his lover and with pretty much everyone.
"Y-You killed it... didn't you."
