Sally's Story (Romance)

Chapter Nine

Sally wakes up around twelve the next morning which is a little unusual for her. She usually gets up around seven like the other pastas. She sees the puppeteer has already left so she gets out of bed and goes downstairs. When Sally gets downstairs she sees none of the other pastas are here. She just ignores it and goes to get breakfast.

While she is eating she realizes she is still in her illusion form so she changes back. Not long after she changed back the front door opens and in comes the guys. They walk in the kitchen where she is and sits down.

"Morning Sally." Hoody and Masky say. She smiles at them.

"Morning guys." Sally doesn't make eye contact with Jeff because of what happened. She continues to eat her breakfast while they just watch her. When she finishes she puts her bowl in the sink then goes outside.

Sally takes off walking to the clearing when she hears footsteps behind her. She ignores them figuring it's one of the guys or puppeteer.

"Sally?" She doesn't stop walking but she knows who it is. Jeff. "Come on Sally answer me." She shakes her head no and keeps walking. When they get in the clearing Jeff grabs her shoulders turning her to him. She flinches at his touch and Jeff noticed. "Look I'm sorry for what I did. I don't even remember but the two idiots told me. I feel really bad about it. I promise I'll try not to do it again or at least warn you when I'm going to be drinking."

She looks into his eyes trying to see if he really means it. "So do you forgive me?"

"Sure I can't be mad forever or at least mad mad but insane mad maybe." Jeff starts laughing at her rambling about being mad.

"Ok now what are you doing out here?"

"The same thing I do when I need a brake away from the madness. I come here." She smiles and walks over to the bank to sit down.

"This is where you come when you run away?"

"Most of the time depending on how mad Ben makes me. Other times when I feel like just getting away from here," she jesters around to the woods, "I go to the park but I can't really have any fun."

"You just have to over look Ben at times. He's bipolar and on top of that he has angry issues."

"Yea but why is it always me he has to yell at?" Sally looks down at the water.

"That I don't know but I know what can cheer you about Ben being a prick. Killing spree."

"Maybe but why are you being nice now?" She gives him a weird look.

"Cause I'm awsome that's why." Sally starts laughing. "But no really I'm awsome." Jeff grins wider.

"Jeff can you keep a secret?" She looks up at him. He sits down beside her and nods his head. "Ok now you can't tell Hoody, Masky, or Toby."

"Ok I won't tell them."

She looks around making sure the others are not here before she tells him. "My new friend stays with me at night to keep me company."

"As in an imaginary friend or what?" He gives her a confused look.

"No he's a Creepypasta." She smiles at him.

"Sally most Creepypastas wouldn't think twice about hurting you."

"But he doesn't hurt me, he's nice."

"Who is it?"

"The puppeteer." She says simply.

"The dude who turns his victims into puppets?"

"Yea he comes at night after he has been out killing then leaves of the mornings so the others don't find out."

"Sally what if he was to hurt you...."

"He won't hurt me. He has been with me almost a month or so and he hasn't."

"Wait, what, he has been in the mansion, in your room at night with you for about a month or so now?" She shakes her head. "I should really tell the others."

"No you promised you wouldn't!" Sally gets up and calls out for the puppeteer. On her third call he jumps down from a tree.

"Hello Sally." He smiles. He notices Jeff.

"Hey puppeteer." She smiles back.

"You told Jeff?" She shakes her head. "Are you sure he won't tell?"

"Not really he thinks you will hurt me so he can't decide."

"I never said that or at least not in those words." Jeff says.

The puppeteer sits down in front of Sally so he doesn't have to look down at her. "If he tells I won't be able to stay with you at night and I very well doubt them letting you out in the woods alone." He says.

"I know but I had to tell someone plus Hoody and Masky are over protective I couldn't tell them." Jeff is just sitting there listening and watching the puppeteer. "Then as you know Ben's mean to me at times." They stay out there for a few hours when it gets close to sunset.

"I have to go for now Sally night fall is coming. I will see you soon." He takes off leaving Sally alone with Jeff.

"Come on Jeff let's get back to the mansion." Sally starts walking but Jeff catches up.

"I won't tell for now but doesn't mean I have to like him." Sally grabs onto his waist hugging him. He freezes in place.

"Thanks Jeff." She says.

"Ok down girl calm yourself." They laugh as Sally releases Jeff and they continue on back to the mansion. They wait around for the last few hours of day light to leave so the hunting can begin. When night finally comes they set out. The night is filled with gore upon gore and the laughter of the insane.

After they finish the killing spree they return home. Sally goes up to her room and lying on the bed was the puppeteer. She walks over then climbs into bed beside him. He can tell she is tired so he just hums his song to her. Sally cuddles up into his side falling asleep.

An hour passes since she fell asleep when Jeff sneaks into her room knowing the puppeteer is there. He glares at the puppeteer. "Look I'm not to happy about you being here but I told her I won't tell for now. If you hurt her I will be coming for you."

"Why would I hurt her?" He looks at Jeff.

"Cause that's what us pastas do we hurt people. How did you even find Sally in the first place?"

"Same way I find my victims. I feed on there loneliness, despair, fear, which means I can track them down. Sally feels loneliness and despair which led me to her. But with that personality of hers I couldn't kill her I ended up becoming friends with her."

"Whatever that's, never mind but like I said you hurt her you better be expecting me." He growls low so the others don't hear.

"Shh you will wake her." Puppeteer looks down at Sally seeing if she is still asleep.

"I'm watching you remind that." Jeff walks out of Sally's room going to bed. The puppeteer wraps an arm around Sally and goes to sleep.
