Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 42

I wanted to let out a scream, but before I did, it covered my mouth. "Shh, you're gonna ruin the whole thing. Let's just go--"

I knew that voice. I definetly knew that voice. "No," I responded. But, just when I was about to protest, everything turned black. And suddenly, I was in the car. I was teleported. We were teleported.

"What were you thinking? He's gonna kill them!" I yelled. He just shrugged. "I'm sorry, but it's for the best--"

I felt how frustration got through me. Is he being serious right now?

"What?! Ben, those human beings could've been me! Would you let Jeff kill me?" I snarled at him. He pursed lips and shook his head no. "Then, let me save them," I demanded at him.

"I can't," he replied, "this was our mission. I know Jeff was going to kill them. He has anger issues. And I also know you despise murder, so I had to bring you far away from there,"

I gave Ben a scornful look. "You--"

"Look! There he is!" He pointed towards Jeff, running towards the car, waving his arms in the air and his hoodie covered in blood. When he got here, he opened the door and got in the backseat. "Go, dude! Fucking drive away!" exclaimed Jeff.

"What? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The cops are coming."

...

"Nope. This isn't the dimension," I heard Slender say. Everything was in inverted colors. Slender told me to close my eyes again. And I did. When we got back with everyone, I saw Gretchen. Wow, it's been so long since I've seen her. Sumerging from the shadows, I saw Masky and Hoodie, but someone else was behind them. I just couldn't see that well. "We have splendid news," spoke Masky.

Everyone turned to look at them. Jeff dropped himself to the floor. "After so many months, we finally discovered what made Miss Skyleigh get that type of dementia. We treated it inmediatly, and within months, she got some of her memory back. She didn't get her memory completly back, only her recent activities before she was banished." explained Hoodie.

"It'll take a long time before she completly remembers everything. So, after this, we'll keep treating her--" added Masky. There, was Skyleigh, with her short, black hair, and a scar on her left eye. Jeff stood up inmediatly from the floor and wrapped her in what seemed to be a tight hug. He whispered things to her I couldn't make up. She whispered back as they pulled away from the hug, finishing with a last kiss. Skyleigh looked over at Gretchen. "Little sis!" exclaimed Gretchen, running up to her and hugging her. "I missed you all," said Skyleigh.

She saw me and walked where I was standing. She was taller than me. With what I perceived in that moment, she at least looked like she could be 5'5. But I'm 4'8. This sucks. "You must be Elise, right?"

Jeff was right. She did have sort of a shrill voice.

I nodded my head. "Skyleigh..?"

She let out a giggle, nodding as well. "I'm here to help. And, by the way, thanks for saving me at the beach--"

"No n-need to thank me," I nervously responded. "So, wait," started Skyleigh, turning and looking at everyone, "I'm not good at math. But last time I was here I was 17....right? And I was banished for nearly five years.. does that mean I'm like 21?" 

Jeff let out a chuclkle. "22."

"Are you kidding me? I still feel like I'm 17. Oh! I'm legal now!" she squealed, smiling bright. "You still have the mentality of a toddler, but I have to admit, you have matured a bit--" spoke Eyeless Jack. "Rude," she spat. I let out a small laugh. I felt so unfamiliar with everybody now. Does this mean she'll help me?

Then, why am I so nervous?

Well, I just never thought I would meet her. This is amazing.

She only gave me a smile and moved on to talk to Ben. "You still owe me a game of Uno,"

"Are you seriously still not over that?" Ben asked, a smirk growing on his lips. "Of course not! You promised Chips Ahoy," she grinned wide, messing up his hair and walking over to Slender and Pencilneck. "Slendy.......Mrs. P, thank you. I just want to let you know, I'm not mad."

Both Slender and Pencilneck were taken aback by this. She only smiled at them. "So, what's the plan?"

"I'm sure this is the dimension. But, only two people can get in at the time. It could be also one, but no more than two. You and Skyleigh go in first, Slenderman and I will go after you. Wait for us."

Soon after Skyleigh and I got in, everyone started to get in in pairs. There was EJ, Ben, Jeff, Sonic.exe, Slenderman, and Mrs. Pencilneck. And, of course, Skyleigh and I. The place was dark, and silent. Very silent. It seemed to be nighttime. And there were caves, and some trees. Where were we?

"Just walk straight. Try not to make much noise," whispered Pencilneck. The place was so quiet that Pencilneck could be heard slightly loud. "Where are we supposed to go?" I questioned her. "We need to find them. And stop them--"

But, where? Is she sure this is the right dimension? This looks weird. But a noise interrupted my thoughts.

Thud!

It sounded as if somebody threw a rock, or something heavy. I wondered if it was anybody from behind. A sinical laugh disturbed our presence. Well, it sounded like various laughs to me. "Well, well, well, look who we have here. Isn't it Skyleigh? Such a delightful surprise!"

I knew that voice. The fog ceased slightly, and there they were.

The twins.

"We're not afraid of you. You've caused nothing but problems these past years." I heard Jeff speak coherently. "Such strong words from someone like you. Hand it over, and we'll leave you alone for good." one of them demanded.

"What do you need?" I asked through clenched teeth.

They both began to laugh. "Power. Ambition."

I let out a sigh. "And we'll take you--" Morgan pointed to Skyleigh.

"We have an army! We will not hesitate to battle--" roared Slender.

"Oh," Madison said in awe, "I hate to break it to you, but you're not the only one with an army here."

Millions and millions of demons sumegered from behind them, including Jane and The Rake. My eyes widened with fear, staring at them with gape. Morgan teleported infront of Skyleigh. "No! Take me instead! I'm the one you want. I'm more powerful than her!" I exclaimed.

She stared at me with a smirk on her lips. "Wonderful."

This is what he wanted. What Slender warned me about. This was my time. To fulfill my job as the Guardian of the Proxy.

"No! Wait-- Elise!" I heard Ben yell. "What are you doing?" Skyleigh asked, her eyes widened. I glanced at Morgan.

And then, everything turned to darkness.
