Slender has teleported me home and by this time I think I have almost gotten the landing right. My hand has healed a bit since last week. I have been a missing person for a full month. Though I almost don't mind it, I still get pretty angry about not being able to see Jackson. Slender man has actually showed me how to use my anger as energy itself. I'm still not sure how to focus the energy in my palm though. I walk over to the living room couch and stare blankly at the television. Ben swears a bit and sighs. "Whatcha playin'?" I ask. I hear him shift and he says, "majora's mask...though I can't get...dammit not again!" he seemed too distracted to give me a full sentence. I laugh at this. "Like you could do better..." he mumbles. I lean close to his ear, "nope" I say, then I blow gently on his neck. I hear him "GAH!" and then I feel a chill as he leaps forward. He then makes a loud thump on the ground falling off the couch. Slender sends me a mental image and I laugh hysterically. I walk off gripping my mask and my stomach, at this point I'm dying. I can't breathe.

Dinner time comes around and everyone is laughing and joking. Jeff nudges me as he tells a joke. Masky is talking to who I assume to be hoodie. Sally walks over holding up some soft animal. "Can you kiss my teddy?" she asks me. I tilt my head. "Why would I want to do that?" I ask. She giggles, "because. I said to do it." I sigh. "Only because its you. Anyone else and I would punch them.." I say. I kiss the toys head through my mask, "ta da." I say. Sally growls, "no! Take off the mask..." the entire table goes quiet. I feel all eyes on me. "Nope. No can do kiddo. I can move it but it stays where it is. Got that?" I ask. She mumbles, "fiiine..." and holds the bear back up. I move the mask a bit and kiss the bear again. Sally chuckles, "I saw your face!" and I put the mask back. "Well then, its our little secret what I look like k?" I say. She does her little giggle and nods before sitting back down. I let out a sigh and return to my food. Sally is sooo adorable, its hard to stay mad. Everyone seemed a bit disappointed when I said I wouldn't take off the mask. But they returned to their dinner nine the less. "So, where is laughing jack?" I ask bluntly. "Off on a mission. He mostly stays away from here but, I guess you could say he stops by to visit. He will probably stop by in a couple of days," Jeff answers. "Oh. How many creepypastas don't live here?" I ask. Jeff sighs, "LJ. Bp. Puppet boy. Jason, weird ass toy maker. Offender. Nina. Jane is somewhat here and there so eh. Toby is off on a hunt right now but...yeah he stays here. So yup. A lot of others though." he says. I take in the info. "Toby... He has torette syndrom right?" I ask. Jeff nods. "Yup," he says. "Do any of you mind it?" I ask again. "I don't personally." he claims. I glance around and people shake their heads. I hum content with the answer. Maybe they won't mind my being blind?
I shake my head, the whole idea was laughable. Slender cut in, "its no weakness child. Even if they saw you as weak they would still have to bear witness to your strength. When the time comes you may show them exactly how strong you truly are." I didn't realise he was listening. GO AWAY! Don't do that!
A simple snort was heard from someone nearby. I didn't pay any mind to it. "Hey (y/n)! Guess what!" I turn to the voice. "Hm?" I don't say anything. Before I could register what had happened I had caught something. Upon a bit of thought I realise Ben had just thrown a steak at my face. It stuck on my knife as I held out my arm. I set it on my plate, "thanks." I say mockingly. He growled, "stupid cat reflexes...'' I chuckled. Sally giggled from beside him. "Its not funny!" Ben yells. I see his energy turn to hers. She giggles again and Ben just growls.

Dinner ends and this time doing the dishes is masky. Thank. God.
I step into the living room only to be faced with a green glitchy figure. "Hia!" he yells. I have a bad feeling about this...

Its been three hours and I haven't been alone once. Ben is on my ass constantly.
"Hey (y/n)! Wanna play some games?" and, "hey (y/n)~ how about some Zelda?" and, "heeyyyy (yyy/nnnn)..... Have you ever played call of duty?" and this is all I have heard. "Ben...is your weird ability to annoy people to death? Is that how you kill?" I ask. I mock him in the hopes that he leaves but to no avail. "Yup!" he says cheekily. I wanted so bad to hit him but he kept moving every time I swiped. I growl and walk away. Of course he follows. "Damn it Ben go away!" I yell swatting at him like a fly. I hear him laughing and snorting. My guess is while this floating nuiscence is being an ass he is also probably turned on his back holding his stomach from laughing so hard. I roll my eyes and go about my day, with the newly found growth stuck to my side.
Yes, I'm talking about Ben. Turns out, ignoring him doesn't help... Ffffuuuuuuu-
Wait.... What if I lie to him but give him something to chase?
"Hey Ben. If you leave me alone a while I can play later..." I say.
Ben lights up, his energy surges, and I can hear his giggle. Finally he leaves. I can't help but thank the heavens. I curl up into my bed and close my eyes. I can finally sleep...
"Hey (y/n)... Why do you wear a mask while you sleep?"
My eyes jerk open and I growl. I pull the covers over my head as I come to the realisation that I won't have peace for a long time to come.
