Chapter 23

We walked to the mansion and Joe was sitting outside. When he saw us he had the same look in his eye that he had that night outside the woods. He charged us and Joe and I ran as he slashed at us with a knife. We were about to retaliate when tentacles wrapped around our arms and held us up. Joe was slashing himself trying to get loose and Toby and I just sat still because we knew what was going on. 

"WHAT IS GOING ON" Slendy's voice boomed. 

We all flinched at the sound and I just slowly turned my head to look at him. I could tell by his grip on us he was mad that we were at each other's throats again. I looked over at Joe and he was fighting hard to get away from Slenderman so that he could get to us. Looking at him now I could tell something was wrong with him but it was just something that snapped in him and is now bringing up his true feelings. Joe wanted to kill Toby and me. Why? I have no clue. 

Slendy put Toby and me down but carried Joe down to the basement. We followed him down to see what was going on with him that he is acting like this. When we got to the basement Slendy strapped him to a table to keep him down. He was trashing even with restraints to get to us. I wasn't sure how to feel about any of this. 

"Please go home tonight don't come back until I call you," he said very calmly. 

"What about Joe? He's not coming home is he?" I wanted to be sure we would be safe. 

"No, he won't. I'm not sure he will be here when you come back".

I wasn't sure what he meant by that but I did know that I wanted to leave and get away from Joe. Toby and I walked up the stairs and went to the kitchen to get water before we left. I knew that we were going to have to walk back to the house this time. I didn't have an issue with it. The house wasn't too far from the mansion so it wouldn't take us very long. Masky was out on a job, so we knew that he wouldn't be home until later.

We walked back to the house in silence. While we were walking I decided to head to the high school and just look at the life I left behind. I walked down the path that I would go down every day to get to school. I went to the spot I hid my bike, to see if it was still there. To my surprise, it was but still covered in blood. The body was gone but the bike and blood weren't. I decided to take the bike back to the house and clean it up. 

Toby and I walked back to the house being mindful in case someone saw us. When a car would drive by we would put our hoods up and heads down. When we finally got back to the house it was all dark. We went to the back to put the bike back there then went to make something to eat.

Toby and I sat on the couch watching T.V. and didn't pay attention to the time. When Masky came home it was around 3 AM. He was covered in blood which was strange for him because most of his jobs are fast and very clean. He was out of breath when he got into the house so I knew that something went wrong on his job. Whoever was his target must have put up more of a fight than normal. 

"Masky what happened?" I asked him.

"The target wasn't alone tonight," he said, "I killed him but he had friends that had to be taken care of so it was a little longer than I thought it was going to be and they were all fighting so it was a messy one".

"Damn they didn't call the cops did they?" Toby asked him.

"One did but I was long gone by the time they got there," then he realized that tomorrow is Monday, "don't you two have school in the morning? Most kids don't show up late on their first day so you guys should get to bed so you look halfway normal, and you need to be alert at all times." 

With that Toby and I went to bed so that we wouldn't be late for school. Not that either of us wanted to go.
