What could your family have any relevance to this sex offender?

You ponder for a while imagining many secanrios, realistic and impossible which all lead to the same conclusion... That your gran had to be involved with him somehow whether you wanted to admit it or not. She had always been secluded in her room with that box. She had amnesia but could never forget the box nor its secret. It was upsetting watching her life fade away from you but you regretted not asking more occuringly.

Perhaps if you bothered her enough, she could have told you. But it is too late now. She is gone and the box remains. A knock is heard from the door. Thinking it was Jeff, you hailed, "the door is open" but it wasn't Jeff who entered... It was Slenderman. He spoke to you in your mind like a musky voice in an empty hall. It echoed, "I heard you have been asking about my personal life. What is your reason?"  you were too scared to lie so you explained the box and the rest of the group's theories to which he sounded unsatisfied, "You had the time and confindence to speak to many other killers yet you forgot to ask the one who is involved?" rather than sounding angry, his tone was upset. Did he feel left out?

You nodded in guilt. "I'm sorry sir but... You scare me..." he looked at you and the weight off your shoulders disappeared. He rested a giant hand on your shoulder as he explained, "I have no intention to hurt you child. You have done nought to deserve the gesture therefore are safe. All I recommend is to stay away from my brothers. They are not to be tempered with" and after a mininal wave, he vanished. Could they be more dangerous than the big boss? That was a scary thought but knowing that he was going to protect you left a feeling of calamity and ease in your system. He probably knows that he can't send you back now. You could be a threat to their existence! Though a group of professional serial killers, each with their own speciality and supernatural trait, you highly doubted anyone would defile them.

The days passed by and Jeff hadn't returned. This made you worry. Each day you would wait by the front doors expecting him to return with dirty clothes and an irritable attitude as usual but he never came. Often, Jack (Eyeless) would have to pull you away to satisfy your needs and to keep you safe during the night. Smile felt lost too. He hadn't been away from Jeff for this long in years so he was clueless as to what to do. He did what he knew best which was to protect the vulnerable person... You.

What if he was in trouble! You spoke to Smile a lot planning routes and luggage to bring along with you in search of Jeff but never have you had the guts to go outside in the middle of the woods at night. No. That's like a student with a note stuck on his back saying, "kill me"! Nevertheless you decided to go. Smile wouldn't let you leave alone so he came to protect you. You felt comfortable knowing he was with you. Jeff's faithful companion. He might know where to go with his special sinuses.

Into the woods you went with your backpack of food, a blanket and a jacket. Nights had been suspiciously warm lately so you needn't worry about layering up. In one of your pockets you brought one of his knives. Protection. That was it. But Smile would protect you. You wouldn't need to use it...right? The sky was black and the trees swayed slightly - with every rustle you yelped. Smile would jump in front of you whenever you got scared. Suddenly, you felt a cold breeze tickle the hairs on your arms and you clutched to your torch. "h-hello?" you asked knowing that even if something was there it wouldn't reply. Smile walked on ahead smelling the ground, searching for traces of danger. He looked behind you sharply and tugged on you to force you into a run.

That's it.

You were terrified.

Your legs moved faster than they ever had before and you saw a giant mansion with lights far ahead in the horizon. Smile stayed closely behind you to protect you from whatever it was chasing you and you somehow entered the home through an open window. In haste, you closed it silently; you didn't wanna disturb the resident in case of being Jeff's captor. Inside was like a Gothic horror movie. Red and black, victorian furniture and very spacious. It was in the middle of no where which was adding to your nerves. Smile headed into the hallway and guided you through the everlasting maze. Left, right, right, forward, left, right, left... Urgh. It wouldn't stop. Then the hound stopped at a single door. It looked well kept and newer than the rest.

It easily opened and inside was nothing except for a surgical table and a capsule of blood. How could you tell? It reeked of iron. There was also a wardrobe full of surgical equipment which pushed you out from that room. Why did Smile bring you ther- was that Jeff's blood?! You gasp as you worry for the killer. Where is he?! You missed him, you wanted him back safe and above all... You missed him! Yes you said it twice it's at the top of your mind as you waited each day for him so the first thing you will do when you find him is to tell him how you feel, debating on the circumstances...

From behind you, Smile nudged you into another room and forced you into another wardrobe. Heavy footsteps echoed through the halls and entered the room you hid in. Your heart was beating out your chest, breaking every rib in its way. Through the crack between the two doors, you saws long black cloak on a tall figure. The lack of light meant you couldn't decipher their shape or form but you knew they weren't human. You gotta get away.

He hummed with a smoker's voice. It sounded like a lullaby of some sort... It was familiar but you was too afraid to question everything you do. Smile left the wardrobe and followed the creature. Yep. He left you alone.. . In the woods... With danger everywhere...

Unless he knew the creature? You chased after Smile hastily and bumped into someone. "Who the fuck did that!?" that was a familiar voice. He turned around and looked at you surprised, "Y/N? Why are you here?" it was Jeff. You couldn't restrain yourself from hugging him tightly. He felt confused but hugged you back, "Did slenderman send you after me?" that annoyed you. So he knew where Jeff was yet he left you to wallow in sadness on your own? He didn't tell anyone else either!? That creature-

He sighed then guided you to a room where his stuff was, "Sorry I didn't tell you. I wanted to but Slenderman told me not to. He said to keep this mission a secret from you" he explained that his mission was to consult his brothers about the music box to see what they knew. The confusion made you feel an array of emotions. "Jeff... I had been waiting for you to return but you never did... What was with that blood on the table?! And who was that... That thing!? In the coat?!" you became overwhelmed and got watery eyed as your sadness overflowed.

He sighed heavily as he looked out the window into the woods. There were minimal stars in the sky so there was little light." That blood wasn't mine, they wanted me to kill someone and that person was fiesty, well I guess a bit is mine. And that creature was probably SexualOffender man. Don't get close to him if I were you. No, don't get close to him and I say so". Hearing him be protective over you made you feel warm and loved again. Something you haven't felt since you were young.

In the distance you could hear a seductive voice call out, "Who is calling my name? Jeff? Is it you? Have you brought the dead back to life or will you be going back?"
