your pov

I've lived here for eleven years, i've seen the other children come and go, The people looking to adopt always prefer the younger and smarter children. They don't like the children like me, i'm always ignored in line ups, the only thing i have from my family before they gave me up is a necklace that came with a note, it belonged to my older brother, Timothy, the necklace with a pendant of the drama masks. The note had a simple ' I'll come back - your brother, timothy' as well as a polaroid of him holding me as a baby, it brought me some comfort knowing he might come for me, But there's still a feeling that looms over me, what if he doesn't come back? And that's why i decide to drown myself in creepypasta stories and fanfiction, my favourite would probably be Eyeless jack, or jeff the killer, either way i know they're stories and not real but i like to pretend they are, it brings me comfort to daydream and make up stories about living with them in slenderman's mansion,they're all outcasts, like me, they're looked down upon in society. I suppose i relate to jeff the most, he was bullied, so was i, people threatened him, i get threatened everyday, his bullies eventually lit him on fire, my bullies haven't lit me on fire but they've cut me, a lot, i have heaps of scars littering my body. I look up from the fanfiction i'm reading on my phone and walk towards the door to open it as there was a knock, " Y/N, you're being adopted by a nice man, his Name is Tobias Rodgers, he'll be here in half an hour, pack your things and clean the room up so we can prepare it for the next child", I'm being adopted...But what about Timothy? " But..Miss Rose, what about Timothy? he's going to come back!", Miss rose is the only lady here that's been nice to me, " Oh Y/N, i know you have hopes but you've been here eleven years, sweetie as much as you'd like to hold onto that thought it's not going to happen", she says softly and pulls me in for a gentle hug, i nod into her shoulder and pull away, " Well, i guess i better get ready to meet Mister Toby right?" she gives me a small smile, ruffles the cropped hair and closes my door, Tobias Rodgers..Like..Ticci Toby?.

WIthin 15 minutes i have my minimum amount of belongings in a suitcase, i make the bed and sit down on the floor while i wait for Miss Rose to come and collect me, soon enough I hear a knock on my door and Miss Rose opens it and walks in, she's followed by a man that i can all but assume is Mister Tobias, I stand up and bow my head at the man, " Miss rose", " Y/N, this is Tobias, the man i told you about, are you ready?", i nod my head and walk towards Miss Rose, She bends down so she's my height and i hug her, " I'm going to miss you, Miss rose", i mumble into her shoulder, " I'll miss you too kiddo", she smiles, kisses my forehead and moves over so I can introduce myself to Mister Tobias, " Mister Tobias, its a pleasure", he smiles down at me and puts his hand on my shoulder, " You too kiddo, you too, now i don't expect you to call me dad or anything so Toby's fine, but if you ever want to..call me dad..i wouldn't mind", he says sheepishly and rubs his neck, "Okay..dad" he smiles at my, bigger this time and grabs my hand, " well, we better be off Rose, it was lovely to meet you", Miss Rose nods and dad and i walk out of the building. We reach his car and get in, " So, Y/N..there's..something i need to prepare you for", he starts, " Oh i already know, you don't think i recognised your name?", he lets out a little 'oh' and we go on our way, " Y/N i need you to know that not everyone is like how they appear in Fan-Fiction, these people are...dangerous, so please be careful around them, once they take to you they won't let anything happen to you but you still need to be careful", i nod and the conversation goes quiet. We reach a dirt road that leads into the woods, we drive for about another hour before we reach a beautiful MAnsion, "It's even better than i Imagined", i gasp, Dad just chuckles and grabs my suitcase, i grab his hand and we go inside.

Immediately, all eyes are on us, It's deathly quiet and Dad sighs, " Okay, I don't know if slender has informed any of you but i have adopted a child, Y/N legally, is my child, they are a no go, turns out they're a fan, don't worry Jeff, not like your fan-girls", i wave sheepishly and everyone stays quiet, " Uhm, Hi, i'm Y/N Write, i'm eleven years old and would really like to get to know you all and maybe start training with you", i awkwardly say as i introduce myself, toby- dad gives me a proud look and squeezes my hand, suddenly a man in a white mask and yellow jacket walks forward, " Do you have the necklace?" he says plainly, " I'm..sorry?", i reply, " The necklace, I gave it to you when you were sent off", " This necklace?", i lift my necklace that Timothy gave me, "yes, that one", he says, " Timothy..?" he nods and I rish forward to hug him, he immediately pushes me back, " Slow down there, I might be your brother but you don't know me, hasn't that place taught you anything about hugging strangers?", i shake my head, " You aren't a stranger, i carry this photo around with me everywhere, and i've seen you outside my window", i say as i dig the old and battered polaroid out of my pocket, i hand it to him and he takes it, " You caught me read-handed", he chuckles, this time he lets me hug him, for a short ten seconds, but it was a hug non-the-less. Dad grabs my hand again and gives timothy na ' i'll talk to you later' look, he leads me upstairs to my bedroom, " Now Y/N, I want you to keep this door locked at night okay? some people around here...aren't the kindest towards children".

Dad leaves the room and i lock the door behind him, i decide to look around, the room is plain and simple, Grey walls, Double bed against the wall, dresser against the other wall and a closet that's...already full of clothes my size? i decide not to question it and hang up my jumpers and dresses and fold my other clothes to put in the dresser. I notice another door and open it, oh its a bathroom, i walk back out and take a better look at the room, there are scratch marks on the floors...All of a sudden a shrill scream causes me to tense up, I decide to just lay down and try to drown out the noise.

Toby's Pov

Great, i adopted Masky's FUCKING sibling? The mans already an asshole to me, if he thinks i'm doing a shit job at parenting Y/N he's gonna get so much worse, I should just suck it up and try to get along with him for Y/N's sake.
