(In this chapter, I have stuttering.  I based it off of my own stutter, so please know that repeating the middle of a word multiple times is normal for me.  I'm not sure if Toby's stutter is like that too, so please correct me if I'm wrong.  Thanks!)

The light dissipated as we walked into the damp forest.  All I could do was follow this man's touch.  There were whispers all around, screaming and antagonizing.  'Ugly fat bitch' - 'Worthless little slut'  They would call out, ringing into my ears.  I only listened to Jeff.  He was there, they weren't, and I knew that.  

Until something grabbed me. 

I let out a screech that could be heard for miles as the hand wrapped around my ankle, pulling me to the ground.  "Jeff? Jeff where are you!?"  Panic filled me as the 'thing' dug its claws into my skin, pulling me across the ground.  "Jeff please help me!"  It was to no avail.  I kicked my other leg out at the hand, but it only resulted in the nails digging deeper.  The blood drug across the dirt and got all over my body.  I sat up and stuck my foot into the ground, slowing the speed slightly.  My hand reached around the other's and snapped it, leaving it behind.  I lifted myself and ran as fast as I could.  Footsteps surrounded me, encasing me in the large forest.  The light began to appear, so I ran faster.  I ran so fast I wasn't able to feel the tree in time.  My face became bloody as I ran into it, knocking myself to the ground.  There, I fell unconscious once again.

"Hey, are you alright.  Wake up!"  

"Get some water, I think she's coming back."

My vision returned, only to be clouded with fog once again.  I looked around for the two men I heard, but saw nothing.  I was too disoriented to understand what was happening.  But, before I knew it, a familiar voice rang out.  

"Hey, dumbass get up."   It was Jeff.  I felt for his arm and immediately pulled him into a hug.  "Woah there sugar tits, you just gotta hold my hand not give me a blowjob."  My grip loosened and I continued the walk, trying to ask him about the past events.

"You dipfuck, you tripped on a log.  There was no 'scary monster'.  You must be one of the delusionals.  Just fucking great.  We get a hot woman in the house and shes a retard like the rest of 'em."  My cheeks flushed out of anger.

"First of all, fuck you."  I said while smaking him in the dick. "Second, I have a name.  It's (Y/n).  Stop with the sugar tits."  My hand reached back to his.  "And third, it all happened.  I know it did.  I can still feel the claw marks on my ankle.  There's something fucked up here and I don't like it."

"Well no shit, of course this place is fucked up!  We can't fucking see out here you dumb bitch!  Now would YOU stop with the arguing and dick handling?  It's getting me hard!"  I felt the heat run to my face, and I stopped.  We walked the rest of the way in awkward silence.  


The light returned, and my face was still bright red.  I looked over to see Jeff's emotionless expression, along with his usual white complexion.  It made me blush harder, so I looked down, not wanting to have eye contact with this man.  "Hey candy ass, we're here."

"I told you not to call me that!" I retaliated harshly.

"Hon, you told me not to call you sugar tits, not candy ass.  Shut your fat mouth and go meet the others."  He put his hand on my behind and pushed me to a door, which I just realised was the opening to a large, old mansion.  It was blood red, made out of bricks and looked to be about four stories tall.  Moss and leaves grew around the white framed windows, along with the large, dark, wooden double doors in front of me.  The place looked run down, yet somehow, it fascinated me.  My hand reached up to the doorknob, which was shaped like a dragon's head.  My fingers slipped around and between it's horns, twisting the head with a strong grip.  I completely forgot about where I was, all I needed to do was get inside this house.  The door revealed a long carpeted hallway, lined with coat hangers and shoe compartments.  It looked like the room you go to before entering a jungle gym. 

"Put your shoes in the fifth box, and take your jacket with you, you'll need to wash that."  I jumped, realising Jeff was still behind me. 

"Oh ok, thanks."  I did as told and followed him into a room.  It seemed to be a living room; chocolate brown couch centered in front of a flat screen TV, surrounded by gaming consoles.  They ranged from the original Magnavox Odyssey, to a Vive Pro.  Some looked like they came from back to the future.  The floor was carpeted a light red with a chandelier above it all.  There were two men sitting on the couch.  One was short and wore a green hat.  The other seemed a bit taller, and had brown hair with a hoodie and goggles resting on the top of his head.  They turned around to look at me.

"Well look at that.  Kitten has arrived."  The boy with bloody eyes and blonde hair said as he stood up, proving to be shorter than I expected.  I rolled my eyes at the nickname, turning to face the other boy.  He was cute.  A lock of his light brown hair fell in front of his chocolate eyes, as he smiled and introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm- I'm- I'm Toby!  A-and this is- is Ben."  His stutter caught me off guard, but I thought it was cute too.  He seemed to be nicer and more respectful then the two others I've met.  

"Hey Toby, I'm (Y/n), not kitten."  I glared over at the blonde, Ben.  He smirked back at me, and Toby walked towards me.  

"I'll show y-you to Slen-en-end-dy's office."  He reached out his shaking hand and I took it.  As we walked, I noticed that he jolted around a lot.  His arm would jerk towards me from time to time, but I quickly realized that he also had tourettes syndrome.  My sister had motor tics too.  

I miss my sister.

"Were here."  My mind was taken out of it's thoughts, as I looked up to see another dark wooden door.  This had a dragon's head holding a ring, as a knocker.  "I'll leave you w-w-with him."  I nodded to him and placed my hand around the ring.  Before I could knock down, the door opened to reveal a tall, faceless man wearing a suit and tie.  I felt as if I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't pinpoint when or where.

"Child, please, come in.  I have been waiting for your arrival."  I voice spoke out.  All anxiety, fear, and anger I had pent up inside of me immediately vanished, as my attraction towards the desk grew stronger.  I walked in without a second thought and sat down in a chair.  "So, you must be wondering why you have been feeling these 'urges'."  I looked at him and nodded silently.  "You see, I heard your voice.  I answered to your prayers for a different life.  You are a normal human with no real power, but I can change you here.  You can have the life you deserve.  We can live here as a family.  It was me telling you what to do.  With me, you can be a god-like being.  All you have to do is accept it."  His words struck me.  I know my life will never be the same, but why wonder the streets, evading the police, when I can be here?  My decision was clear in a matter of seconds.

"I'll join you, sir."

"Good, now go join with the others.  They have been dying to meet you.  There are two other girls here, Sally and Jane.  Jane beats any man that even looks at her weird, and Sally is a child.  Be careful and report to me if the men try anything.  Good luck."  

Before I knew it, I was back in the living room facing various people. 'Oh boy."
