I leave the mansion into the dark lost forest. Now that I'm suppose to catch someone it seems to much bigger to me. How am I suppose to find her in this maze of a world?

I soon reach the streets, somehow, then I race across to the house that we last met in. Maybe she came back here..? I think.

Racing into the house I searched around. I needed clues, anything to find her since Slender told me to. I didn't want to be punished again. He tortures me emotionally since he can't cause me pain.

I throw stuff over, being careful isn't one of my abilities. When I need to get to something I'll be as reckless as I please.

I throw things over. In rooms I just find the bodies of children that once lived, everything was so gory and filled with sorrow. Pushing these thoughts away I concentrate on what I need to find; Clockwork.

Hours led to nothing. I decided to leave and just look elsewhere. I feel a sharp instinct burn over me. I duck and grab the item that was flung at my head, then the arm of who attempted to injure me.

I flip them over suprised to see the frame of the girl I had been searching for. "What the fuck? I've been looking everywhere for you! Ass!" I hiss at her.

"Oh? You have? You really miss me do you?" She laughs and hits me on my head, sending me in a long enough daze for her to escape. "Silly.Silly. Now, what do you want?" She's teasing, evil, patient. It mocks me, making my blood boil, I want to rip her to shreds and eat her organs while she watches me until she dies.

I growl,"The observer wants you to join us." I say "you" in a insulting manner, she doesn't deserve to be one of us.

"For what?" She smirks. "Why should I? There's nothing there for me. I rather dwell on my own means.I'm free here, your not taking that." Her stitches extend her smile and her clock eye shows a mischievous shine.

"I was ordered to so you're coming with me." I grab her arm and start dragging her with me. Yet, she trips me again and stabs her knife a centimeter from my head then sprints off.

I sigh, I'll never catch her. But I gotta get her to come one way or another.

It wasn't long after when I faced her again. "Slender has requested you so you must go!" I struggle with her over my shoulder as she bucks and kicks me hard. "I don't have to! Fool, we all have our freedom and your not taking mine! Now let me go you piece of shit!" She screams. "Slender!" I call for him running my best with the insane damsel over my shoulder, that's trying to kill me. Luckily, Slender appears and instantly Clockwork freezes in fear and just states at the expressionless thing. "Wh-What is that..?"

"Child, calm yourself." He says to her. He turns his head to me, "Put her down. For, she will not run." So, I place her down on the floor. Suprisingly, she doesn't run- she just scoots back over to me with wide eyes. Clock' looks very dazed and dizzy.

"Fair child, I wish you to come and join us. We all work together in missions and killing off fellow humans. Including, we feed you and shelter you..."

She snapped out of her fear and growled, losing all thoughts of dieing by the creature probably, "But, it'll mean throwing away my own freedom."

"What freedom?" He asked. "Your never free. Anywhere. Even now, you are stuck between me and my proxy. Also, you have been concealed by laws of the world- man made and natural."

She sighs loudly with annoyance. "You won't give up on me won't you?"

"We lack on female killers which we could use of their own beauty for other matters-"

"Well you just want to use me. For what- my body, my looks? My skill? Or do you find me weak and throw me out as a decoy in war?"

"Now child, calm yourself-"

"Use me just because I'm a girl? I'm weak?! Well ill have you know-"

"Silence!" Slender booms and she falls quiet. "I'll have YOU know that all I want to do is basically a bargain. We give you shelter and food and all that, in Exchange for your service to me. Now, agreed?"

"Your not going to give me a chance to say no are you?"

"Probably not. But, how about you give it one day for a try? Tommorow perhaps?"

"Fine."

I stood quiet and I held out a hand to her so she could pick herself up but she shook me off and stood herself. "I can stand up myself, thank you." She growled as Slender disapeared.

"Your one to look like you could need a 'chill pill'." I snicker and she clenched her teeth. The girl raises her knife at me and points it at the bottom of my chin. "Hmm, well it seems your in need of a good ass-wooping then Joker." Her face is so close to mine that in any sudden movement our lips wouldve met. She smiles and her stitches stretch, open, then close beautifully brutal. "Pretty girls shouldn't act so tough." I tease and her smile fades.

"Your a funny one." She pulls back. "Maybe if I like it at your place of murderers I might stay willingly..." Then she turns and leaves.

I swore I could've seen her smile at me.
