___Y/N'S POV

He's really not bad...

Hearing Zalgo laugh made my heart flutter. I felt comfortable in his presence for once and it felt nice.

We had been in the same spot as before, except I didn't have shackles around my ankles and I actually had clothes on with undergarments included.

It was a cute little dress that was nice and simple. It didn't have straps and hugged my curves comfortably in a snug manner. It was red of course, because I had requested the color. He honored my order with reluctance but did it regardless.

I was genuinely happy where I was. I was learning more about Zalgo and how he wasn't really who he seems.

"Wow. Shocker. I wasn't always a bad guy. Is it really that surprising?" He raised an eyebrow and I laughed softly with a nod.

"Well yeah! But if it's not supposed to be surprising, then tell me your story." I leaned against the wall beside him and he gave me a lighthearted smile.

"My... story? Well..." He sighed and started to tell me about his life.

"I told you about most of my childhood already. The pets thing was the major milestone in my life at that time. Although, I didn't mention how I was born into a legacy of demons. That's why I'm the God of Chaos, y'know?" He gently pinched my cheek and I blushed. "Yeah..."

"When I was around fifteen I think, I first encountered Slenderman. It was a very long time ago though. I age very slowly if you couldn't tell. But I met him by pure chance in this same town. It was terrible back then. Women and children being abused, unjustified murders... It was really a pain to be there. Slenderman back then was peaceful, unlike now. It was because he had found this girl that he had fallen deeply in love with. She was a fierce young woman and when I first met her, we became friends. He didn't like how close we were getting and tried to intervene, but she stopped him and they fought. Essentially, I was the reason their relationship became rocky. Towards the end though, things got better and they fell back in love. At the same time... My pet had died. It was at this age that I had succumb to the darkness and I did something unspeakable to her. It was small, but it had such a great impact on Slenderman and I both. I stood up to the idiotic people of the town and proposed that they deliver a martyr to justify the crooked law... I had no idea that they would pick her of all people. Slenderman and his brother were beyond enraged, and blamed me for her death. That's how I ended up being a prisoner and living in that crowded mansion with everyone else."

I was enthralled by his story of the past. The pain he expressed in his voice. All the emotion he exhibited while talking had me in a deep trance. I couldn't tear my gaze away from him.

"That girl... Now that I think about it... She was your ancestor." Zalgo ran a hand through his ebony locks. I gasped and covered my mouth in shock.

"R-Really? What was she like...?" I looked up at him with gleaming eyes and he chuckled softly.

"Well, you're both far from being alike. At the same time though, I see her inside of you. You're both strong and never back down. You do things for others instead of yourself. You... share that same look... The one I enjoyed so much." He gently grabbed my chin and tilted my head up towards his.
