Toby

I shot my eyes open as sunlight breached my irises again. I wiped cold sweat off my forehead and looked at my bed sheets. My focus then turned to Masky who was nowhere to be seen. I started to shake horribly and frantically spun my head around looking for him. My ticks began to go out of control.
"Masky?!" I called out for him. My voice breaking a bit. I felt lonely again. Where is he?! "MASKY!?" I began to scream and cry for him. I got out of bed and looked around the room. There was no sign of him. What happened?! Was he abducted?! That's when I heard the door open in our room and I looked over. My partner was coming in setting down a couple of bags. My tears continued to fall as I practically tackled him to the ground.
"Ah! God! Toby? What the heck?" He yelped from my sudden action.
"Where were you?!" I screamed in his chest, my voice muffled and clearly worried.
"Shopping, I got up early so I thought I could get us some food and such." His voice was filled with confusion. I looked up at him with my tear stained face and took a sigh of relief.
"I thought something bad happened to you." Masky looked at me curiously.
"Why would something bad happen to me?"
"I had a dream where you were attacked and... I found you... you were injured, and-a-and." I was starting to feel tears reach the brim of my eyes.
    "Hey, Kid, I'm fine." Masky smiled kindly and wrapped his arms around me.
    "You sure?"
    "Yeah, I'm alright."

     I looked at the paper and sighed. How did this letter receive so quickly? That's a bit suspicious. Masky and Toby have been gone for a day, they can't be tracking the target now. They've barely even gotten through the first day... what is going on?

     After I received my mixed up letter, I ran over to Kate to talk about it with her. She seemed puzzled at first but then told me the most logical reasoning.
"Perhaps he sent it too early on accident?" Her lips curved into a sweet smile.
"Maybe? Still, I find it rather strange for SLENDERMAN to mess something up." I sighed mentally and looked out at the dark oak forest where our home resides in. Everything was so dim to me, maybe it's because I'm a deadman walking, but still. Something in the air just does not feel right.
That's when Kate suddenly spoke up. "Do you sense something in the air today? I mean, I know it's bright and sunny out, in fact, it's a beautiful day out... but do you feel there's just something not right about it?" Her smile had faded to a concerned look. I nodded in response to her question.
"Definitely, I sense something incredibly dark here. I don't know what it is, but it's something I don't feel comfortable with. I don't think I like what's in the air. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but I do fear the worst when something like 'this'," I held up my letter, "happens..."
"Maybe we ARE just being a tiny bit paranoid, but even Smiley doesn't seem to enjoy the air. He had to hold Nurse Ann to calm her down." Kate took off her mask so I could see her face. I always had rosy checks when I saw her, I can't help it. She's really pretty without her mask on. She says she's ugly, but it's clear she never looked into a mirror.
"Ah, for once you're taking off your mask."
"It's pointless to have it on at this moment in time, after all, it's just you." Kate smiled softly at me, her gleaming blue eyes hiding the fact she was embarrassed.
"C'mon Kate, I can tell something isn't settling in your stomach." I chuckled.
"Well, besides the fact your letter sent suspiciously early, and how I'm showing my face to you... something else happened earlier."
"Oh?" I tilted me head in curiosity.
"Lately, I've been feeling as if the mansion's charm turned into severe gloom... everyone acts so distant ever since Toby and Masky left. I've noticed strange behavior from Jonathan and Helen. Jonathan being more spiteful than usual, lashing out at Jason rather than getting into their playful fights... and Helen drawing more morbid stuff, it's to a point it's scarier than Natalie's drawings." Kate sighed and looked down at her legs, staring at the blue denim she adorned.
"I never noticed this, do you have any idea what's going on, yourself?" I questioned.
"Not a clue, at this point, your guess is as good as mine." She responded.
"So, how exactly are we gonna figure this out?"
"I don't know, I just know something must be done... I don't want those two's behavior to spread amongst us." Kate closed her book with a loud thud. "I also know that there is no doubt someone else pulling the strings... and it is not Puppeteer."
     "Then who?" Still asking questions.
     "I-I don't know."
     "You've been saying that a lot."
     "Because it's true." I sighed and took off my mask, letting my hair fall down. It was pretty long at this point since I never cut it. Kate just looked at me with wide eyes and blushed deeply.
     "Now look who's maskless." She giggled. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "I didn't know you had green eyes." She said with slight surprise.
     "Yeah, in my human form they were a greenish-amber. Now they are just full on green from the fandom. (FOURTH WALL BREAK)"
     "Oh, I see. They're kinda pretty. You say I look beautiful without my mask... look in the mirror Brian. You're so handsome." She looked away from me and smiled softly to herself.
     "Thanks Kate." I chuckled. Our little silence ended when someone bursted through the door in a panicky tone. The both of us looked over to see it was Toby. My eyes widened as did Kate's and we ran over.
     "BRIAN! KATE," He said frantically, "IT'S TIM! ZALGO HAS HIM!" Kate and I suddenly jumped and looked at each other.
     "Rogers, calm down... tell us how this happened. How are you already back from your mission?" I asked suspiciously.
     "W-we were originally just looking for our target and we came across some sort of dark being in an alleyway. Tim went to see what it was and when we got a closer look it suddenly grabbed him! H-he was taken into some sort of red portal and that's when I learned the being was Zalgo!" He looked as if he was gonna have a panic attack.
     "Toby, I'm sure it isn't Zalgo, it could've been Night Crawler playing a prank on you two." Kate said supportively. It was obvious though, her voice had been laced with worry. I know her better than anyone else in the mansion.
     "He gave me a note too!" Toby then scrambled in his jacket for the note. He took out a pitch black paper with red writing on it, the substance was no doubt NOT ink.  I looked at it a little bit closer. No doubt... this is Tim's blood.
