Ben Drowned X Reader

Chapter 11

Ticci Toby POV
I had made my way back to the mansion and headed towards Slenders office. I needed to tell him my errand was successful but also about BEN disappearing. Taking a deep breath, I knock on Slenders door before following his order to enter. Making my way over to his desk.
I stare blankly at his tall frame as he sat before me. I could feel his featureless face staring right into my soul. His tendrils flailing behind him calmly.
"I completed m-my errand. Here is t-the item you asked for."
Holding out my hand as I give him the wrapped item. I had no idea what was inside and I had no idea of the name of it. My order was to retrieve the item and that was it. I don't know it's purpose and why Slender needs it. He usually already has or makes what he needs.
"Also, uh.. B-BEN was nowhere to be seen when I l-left the house."
"Good."
He replied almost instantly. His voice was cold, deep and menacing. Enough to send chills up my spine.
"I Uh? I'm s-sorry? Did you s-say, good?"
Slender stands from his seat, towering over me even more so. His height was majorly intimidating. He slowly walks over to his shelves, however, his face and head remained locked on my figure and my direction. Not taking his featureless stare off of me. But once he reached his shelf, he turned his head and looked away, placing the wrapped item into a glass box, locked securely. What is that thing..
"Never mind what's in the box. That is none of your business."
He growls as he turns and makes his way back to his chair to sit down. I always forgot that Slender had the ability to read minds. So Guarantee he heard me say that. Well of course he did as he replied sharply.
"S-Sir. About B-BEN? Sh-Should I go looking for-"
"No."
"S-Sir?"
"That was all part of my plan."
I raise an eyebrow in confusion and slight shock. What did he mean by his plan?
"The entire thing was a set up. Yes your errand was real. But letting BEN go with you-"
"W-Was a trap?"
"Yes."
"But I, I-I don't understand."
"I recently added a name to BENs mission list and he has failed to complete it. Instead he is using his mission target for his own amusement.
The house I sent you to, it just so happens that his mission target lives next door. Luckily all went to plan. Though there was a higher chance BEN still would have returned with you. 90:10%."
I watch as Slender goes into detail about his plan. It was all a set up. Slender wanted BEN to meet his target. But why?
"Okay b-but. Why did you w-want that to happen?"
"I need to see where BENs commitment, trust and life lies. If he completes his mission, then fine. But If he has indeed gone soft for his target and chooses to stay with her. He will be executed."
"Executed! S-Sir, y-you can't be serious?!-"
"Through choosing his target over us, he is breaking the rules. You know the rules and consequences of living here. If a rule is broken. Death is the punishment."
I was shocked. Slender was seriously suggesting the possibility that he may have to kill BEN?
"But you c-can't do that! The rules also s-say we're not allowed to kill another m-member under this roof-"
Slender suddenly stands out of his seat, his chair pushing back harshly, creating an ear piercing sound. Causing me to jump. His tall figure leans down across the table, his tendrils flailing faster than before. Sharply lashing around.
"You dare defy me boy?"
His voice was even lower and almost demonic as he spoke down at me. I could tell he was angry. Not only by the tone of his voice, but by the movement of his tendrils.
"N-No sir.."
He leans back to stand straight and tall, his tendrils slow their pace but still move quicker than if he were to be calm. Stepping away from his desk, he slowly makes his way and stands behind me. Placing his large hand on my shoulder, gripping down his fingers.
"Remember who it was who saved your life, Toby Rogers. I would hate for your life to take its original path. Is that what you want?"
I knew exactly what he meant. It was a clear threat. It was Slender who saved me from the forest fire. He brought me here and introduced me to everyone. By this threat. He was technically saying that he would create a fire, and this time, there would be no one to help me.
However, i'm suddenly snapped from the thought as his grip on my shoulder tightened, grabbing my attention. I felt the sensation of blood dripping down my chest under my shirt as his nails dig deep into the skin. I couldn't feel the pain, and he knew this. But he knew he could still cause damage.
"Is that what you want."
He repeats his question after being ignored that first time. Sighing deeply, closing my eyes. I shake my head.
"N-No sir.."
His grip loosened to a light hold. Though the removal of his nails now meant more blood could pour from the holes he had made.
"You dare to talk back and question me again. Your fate shall be the same as BENs. Do you understand."
"Yes s-sir.."
With that, Slender allowed me to leave his office and ordered me back to my room. Once I got there, I instantly lock my door and rush over to the mirror, removing my shirt to look at my shoulder. As expected, there were 4 large holes at the front and one at the back. Deep within the flesh, blood spilling from them all. I had to sew them up and bandage myself. And quickly.
