Cycle of The World's Abuse.

Chapter 5 [The Arrival]

I awakened on a bed, not my bed, a king-sized bed. I looked around the room I was in, the wallpaper was old, and bits of paper on the walls were a bit falling off, I'd see drawings on the walls, and some signs as well. I was freaked out and wanted to escape this House of Madness. I heard a door creak and I turned around to see the Psychopath again. He didn't have his weaponry on him. Which was strange. He held a plate which was filled of chicken and some cucumbers, he held a drink which was hot. I guess he doesn't mind the heat? I thought, oh boy was I wrong! He walked towards me and sat on the side of the king-sized bed. He gave me the plate and the drink. I was confused. "E-Eat, I d-don't w-want you t-to starve.." He stuttered, wait why DID he stutter? Does he like me or something? Or is it something else? I didn't question and obeyed, so I ate. He took the plate away from me and I drank something, it was tea! I smiled. Which was the first time I smiled in front of a psychopath. He didn't wear his mouth-guard, I looked at his face and saw a gash to his left cheek. I frowned as I saw it. What happened to this man? I wondered.

"W-Well, since your h-here I can tell y-you who I a-am, please d-don't be l-like the other f-females.." He stuttered. I nodded, just to understand him. "My n-name i-is Ticci Toby, w-well my a-actual name is T-Tobias E-Erin "Toby" R-Rogers..people called me Ticci Toby just b-because of m-my t-tics.." "Wait, I've heard of that name before.." I searched in my pockets. "I-If your l-looking your p-phone, I-I have i-it, d-don't ask." He took out my phone and handed it to me, I held my phone and searched up his name, it was found but it was in a fandom website, the bullshit which didn't give you the answers. I sighed and shoved my pocket softly. "Why didn't you kill me, Toby?" I asked. "W-Well, the first time I saw you I thought I can kill you like I did t-to your f-friend Lara, I was w-wrong, you d-dodged my attack and ran, Ross, w-who betrayed y-you grabbed you so I-I can k-kill you, well you k-kicked him and ran, a-and passed out when you s-saw Slender." I was silent. So the giant figure is the myth and the legend, THEE Slenderman? I thought. "So this wasn't a dream.." I spoke. "W-Well, I kept you h-here just to m-make s-sure The R-Rake won't tear you a-apart." "So you DO care?" I asked him. He stayed silent. "Y-You know, you can l-leave.." He spoke. I got up and I searched for my backpack, he just looked at me and did nothing.

I found my backpack, I took out a old photo of mine, it looked like this.

My father was covered because he went missing 20 years ago. Toby looked at the picture and asked, "W-Why are you g-giving this to me?" "Because, I want you to remember me, well not like in love thing but..as a friend..." He gave me a puzzled look, I just smiled and turned around to see the window, opened it, and jumped out, landing safely. I wore my backpack on my back and ran to the exit, which I remembered weirdly.
