I woke up the next morning in bed and stretched as I yawned and got out of bed. After taking a quick shower, I got dressed in some of the clothes that Jane had let me borrow that I had modified to fit my style better.

I left my room and went downstairs to find the mansion was completely dark and empty as well as silent which wasn't normal. Looking at the time, I figured everyone was still asleep so I sat on the couch in the living room and began reading a book silently. An hour had passed and everyone was still asleep so I looked at the time to see it was getting close to the time some of them would start to wake up. Shrugging, I closed my book and got up. Going to the kitchen, I began making everyone breakfast and as I cooked I hummed quietly to myself, not paying attention to my surroundings.
I had just finished making breakfast and tried to reach the plates and cups so I could set the table but I found I was a bit too short to reach them. Sighing in frustration, I looked around to make sure I was alone before turning the sink on and using the water to lift the plates out of the cabinet. I was about to reach up and grab the plates from the stream of water I was controlling when I heard a deep voice behind me.
"Well, well. Who might you be sweetheart? I don't recall seeing you here before."
Startled, I lost control of the water and dropped the plates. I shut my eyes waiting for the shatter of glass but it never came. Instead someone placed their hands on my waist and I opend my eyes to see the plates being held by white tendrils.
"I think you dropped this doll." The stranger purred in my ear and I took the plates from him and tried to move away but he had a firm hold on my waist.
"You know, if you needed help you could've just asked. I'd be happy to help you with anything doll." He purred as he ran his hands along my sides. Disgusted, I said nothing and slipped out of his hold and began setting the table as everyone started to wake up and come downstairs.
I turned to see who was behind me to find a tall being with no facial features except for a mouth filled with sharp teeth forming a smirk as he watched me. He wore a black fedora, and trench coat that was open showing he had no shirt but wore a black tie and dress pants with boots to finish.
"Like what you see doll?" He asked smirking and I scoffed as I walked past him and stopped when I ran into Slender.
"My apologies sir. It seems my thoughts were elsewhere." I apologized and he shook his head.
"That's quite alright Azura, no harm done. Perhaps you should take a break and go to the lake to clear your thoughts." He suggested and I smiled.
"Thank you sir." I said and he nodded.
" I will be leaving for a few days tomorrow to assist my brother in training his proxy. During my absence you will be in charge. Masky and Hoodie will be here to assist you if needed. I trust you will be fine while I am gone?"
