Ticci Toby: Life of a Proxy

Being a Proxy Day 1

I woke up feeling tired and I had no idea where I was. I sat up in bed and looked around. To my side there was a nightstand with my goggles, mask, and my hatchet. I grabbed my goggles and mask then put them back on. On the other side of the room was a closet which was full of clothes for me to wear. I couldn't remember anything that had happened before I got here. I got up and walked into the hallway to find two people talking. They turned around and walked towards me. One had a mask on and the other a hood.

"Hey, you must be confused on why you're here but we'll explain that in a moment.", the one with the mask said.

The one in the hood stood silently and look very nervous.

"You can call me Masky and this is Hoodie." Masky said.

"M-My name is T-Toby R-Rogers." , I said.

Masky turned around and started walking along with hoodie.

"Follow me and I'll explain in a moment.", Masky said and continued walking.

I nodded and follow as we walked down the hallway. We had finally made it to the dining room.

"Hoodie? Can you bring some food in here while I explain to Toby why he's here?", Masky said.

Hoodie nodded and disappeared into the kitchen. Me and Masky sat down for a minute in complete silence.

Masky decided to break the silence and said, "I know you're confused right now, me and hoodie were when we first arrived."

He didn't look a bit nervous and actually seemed very serious. I was confused.

"I'm g-guessing Masky isn't your r-real name and H-hoodie isn't his e-either.", I had said.

Masky didn't look a bit surprised. He was quiet for a while then he started to talk.

"You're right about that, it's easier with what we have to so I and we can't really just go and tell anyone our real names." Masky said.

I was confused so I decided to ask something about what he had said.

"W-What do you t-two have to do?", I asked.

I started to notice I was twitching and Masky has noticed too but didn't address it.

"Do you know what a Proxy is?", he asked. I was shocked by that question.

I knew what a Proxy was but why would he ask. He assumed I didn't know because of how silent I was.

"A Proxy is pretty much a person given orders from somebody else to do something." , Masky had explained.

Hoodie had came out of the kitchen with a bunch of snacks for us all and sat down next to masky. I could tell just by looking at them that they were best friends. I was zoned out for a while and jumped when I heard Masky yelling,

"Rodgers! Stop zoning out!!".He was very serious. "Since you were zoned out I'm going to explain this again, Me and hoodie here are proxies for slender man. Slender man was the one who brought you here and I'm guessing he wants you to be a Proxy." , He said again.

I was twitching but I didn't care. Did he say what I think he said?! A Proxy? For slender man?!

"W-well why w-would he want m-me to be one of his p-proxies??".

Masky and hoodie looked at me like I was stupid.

They both exchanged looks and hoodie finally said, "Well, slenderman needs a new proxy and he believes you would be a perfect fit because of how violent he thought you were.".

I had a horrified expression on my face. I remembered...I was standing over my dad corpse with a bloody knife and my mom in life horror. I started to twitch even more and then Masky had gotten up and tried to call me down.

When I finally calmed down, he asked me what I freaked out about and explained everything I could remember. Me going crazy and killing my father, seeing my dead sister in a dream, and setting the neighborhood on fire. Masky said and look at hoodie. Masky took off his mask and stared at me, still twitching and too horrified to be bothered. He put his hand on my shoulder and I stopped feeling so horrified.I got up and walked towards the hallway to my room. Masky had grabbed my hood and took off my mask. I stared at him in shock while he could see the gash on my cheek from bitting through my cheek.

I took back my mask and said, "From now on, it's Ticci Toby. And tell slender I'm ready if he needs me for anything.".

I walked away and both Masky and hoodie watched me walk off to my room.
