6:30 A.M

I woke up the next morning pretty early, Thinking i would sleep in due to going to bed late, but alas I'm awake. At 6:30 am. I groaned and rolled over to my side with no sign of going back to sleep, though Surprisingly, i felt very energized and nothing hurt at all. i sat up taking my surroundings in realizing how i fell asleep last night. Jeff had carried me and i guess i fell asleep while he put me to bed. I turned my head to see the other side empty. I looked around and noticed there weren't as many knives in the wall as usual. He must have gone out last night. Honestly, how does he keep up with things without sleeping very much? Then again he is a killer, so maybe his insanity keeps him going? that could be the reason why or Maybe he doesn't even notice he's tired or take much effect because he's just use to it by now.

I threw my legs over the bedside and walk over to grab a grey hoodie laying on the floor. hm, something besides white. I chuckled rolling my eyes and slipped it over my head and pulled my arms through the sleeves. Once fixed the hoodie over me i realized i still had on the jeans from yesterday and Luckily didn't have to worry about that part of getting dressed. I noticed some black shoes were tucked behind the door and i slipped them on. Ahh. Vans, the best kind of shoes, durable, comfy and cute. I'm guessing Jeff got these for me since the fit me like a glove. How he knew what size is beyond me. I stood up grabbing my dagger, leaving Jeff's room. I cautiously walked down the halls trying not to disturb anyone who might be sleeping. Ive already met some of the psychopaths that were living here but not all of them. I hope sometime i can go head and introduce myself, socializing is not my best thing and I hope Jeff will be around for that. Though I'll have to give myself some credit, I held my ground pretty well around here. I got to the end of the staircase and rounded into the kitchen. I sighed , happy that no one was in there, and went to grab me a glass of water.

This place can be so eerie at this time when it's quiet like this but Honestly its eerie no matter what, but something different is portrayed when its dark out. Im just happy its morning and not actually nighttime. At night this place feels like the walls themselves harbor voices and shadows that creep out and along with the setting of the surroundings? It's almost like the forest itself. I was told this location rests in slendermans forest. I remember my real father told me it was a gift from my mother Aurora. How could a gift from my mother become something that reeked of  death and looked like hell itself? I guess thats where the slenderman part came in, also the fact that he keeps killers here to make this place as a fallback if something were to happened. I hear that to some its not only a fallback, but a permanent home for them to stay.
permanent.
I guess its my permanent stay too. How long have I been here? I know the season has changed to autumn and I know it will be officially winter soon. It feels like I've been here my whole life. Im sure my other mom has returned home by now, But I don't think shes worried too much about me.  Maybe  shes concerned or curious as to what happened to me or where I am, who I'm with. Unless she knows about me and where im actually from. Then maybe she would be relieved that i was gone? i sighed and realized i already drank two glassed of water lost in my thoughts. I didn't even notice this boy who was sitting at the table with two hatches in front of him. I slowly eyed him and quickly looked away to avoid eye contact or avoid being noticed that i was staring, as if I actually could do that. out of the corner of my eye i noticed he removed his hood from his head along with his orange goggles from his eyes. He had chocolate brown hair and brownish gold eyes. i saw him quickly glance at me with a deadpanned look and continued with his activities involving his hatches. I looked back not caring if i got caught it was too late for that now. slowly, I walked over to him still keeping a good distance and I saw he began to twitch and his body seemed to pop and crack. I froze in my spot before taking the seat across from him, a little scared of what he might do.
