Pt. 3

Sept. 1 2019
   I sat there alone in that room for a second. Then I looked at the phone, some of them already texted me.
notification from BEN: hey noob, hope your first nights been fun. I'm setting up for some majors mask, come down to the living room if you want to play, I set it up on the big t.v ^_^

   Huh, he seems nice. He must be the one that looks like Link from legend of Zelda. Let me check my messages to see if I have any other options first.
notification from Jeff: you awake? I saw EJ storm out, he must be giving you a hard time hehe, just move his shit around, that'll fuck with him!!!

   Yeah I don't think Jeff is a good option, I think he'd just get me into trouble. I think he's the one with the face cuts. Just thinking about it makes my face hurt,

   notification from Toby: hey!!!!! I'm makin waffles, come downstairs to kitchen I got the cinnamon ones!!!!

   Toby seems really nice, and fun. I wonder what he's doing here, matter of fact I wonder what "here" is.

   notification from Masky: do you like coffee? I'm making some and thought it would be useful, with EJ being your roommate and all.

   I don't get very put off by masky, but what does he mean by that? What does EJ do? What was he trying to do that night I met him? I tried to ignore it and scrolled through more messages.

   notification from Laughing Jack: you like candy?~ i have more for you!~

    I assume this is the clown, hard pass on the candy. That seems to be all my messages for now. I text Toby that I'll come downstairs for waffles, play a game with BEN and look around.
   I leave the room and go downstairs, into the kitchen. I see Toby there making waffles with several toasters. "TOBY YOU DONT NEED THAT MUCH." Masky says, trying to just make his coffee. "IM GOING TO SHARE WITH THE NEW ONE!!" Toby says, seemingly having the time of his fucking life.
   I giggled a little bit and they both turn to me, at the entry of the kitchen. "SEE!!! I MADE US WAFFLES!"  Toby exclaims. "I'm so sorry you have to see this shit your first night here." Masky facepalms. Toby puts a waffle on a plate for me, I don't put syrup on it and just nibble on it. "These are good waffles, Toby." I was able to utter a sentence without stuttering for once.
    Toby smiles wide, I can see it under his mouth covering mask. Masky poured a cup of coffee and put sugar and cream in it, he handed it to me. "You really might need this." Masky said to me, hesitant. I took the coffee and drank it fast. "T-thanks you guys." I showed a shy smile, they nodded and went back to arguing over the waffles.
   I walked to the living room, wher and BEN sat in front of this big tv with a game console. "I tried to get others to join but everyone's out right now. Well they'll be missing the fun, I finally got someone to play video games with!" He pat the carpet next to him. I sat and played with him and slowly got comfortable and had actual fun. It seemed a few hours went by, BEN and I took turns and beat Odolwa and Goht from MM3D.
   After a while, people came back inside. It was Slenderman and a group of others, including EJ. "They're just getting back from their.....nightly deeds." BEN said, looking back to his video game. As everyone walked past the living room, EJ stayed. He stood at the door way, leaning against the wall, arms crossed.
   "EJ if you're not gonna' play, get out! We're having actual fun here." BEN grumbles.
EJ scoffs. "Ben, you're going to bore her to death."
   BEN gasps. "THIS GAME ISN'T BORING, YOU'RE BORING." he turns and crossed his arms. I sit there and say nothing and look back down at my hands. EJ walks in and grabs me by my hood. "I'll be taking this." EJ leads me out of the room. "WH- HEY THATS NOT FAIR, SLENDER WHAT THE HELL IS HIS PROBLEM." BEN yells and groans.
   EJ leads me outside, we walk down the porch steps and to a shed behind the house. I stay silent the entire time. We enter the shed and he turns the light on, there's weapons and tools and dried blood on all the walls. "Pick one." He states, affirmative. I look around for a second, I nervously point to an old hatchet. He nods and takes it off the wall, handing it to me. Taking me outside, a little ways further of the mansion, he pulls out his scalpel, standing across from me.
   I had a real bad feeling this time. He stayed silent, I could see the shine off his blade. He ran at me, pinned me to a tree and held the scalpel to my side. I hit him upside the head with the handle of the hatchet. I didn't notice they cut across my abdomen and that I was bleeding. He took a knee, holding his head in pain. Didn't hold him down for long, as I backed further away he got up and ran for me. I didn't want to end up killing someone and didn't want to get killed.
   I ran back towards the mansion, I could start to see the porch lights shine through the trees but EJ tackled me, he wasn't going for my abdomen anymore, he held the scalpel above my throat. I used the hatchet to keep it from stabbing me but I couldn't hold him off much longer. I stared deep into his eye sockets until someone kicked him off and dragged him by the collar, further away from me. Once I sat up and saw that is was Masky, I saw Hoodie and Toby running towards us from the mansion.
   Toby went to go help subdue EJ, Hoodie helped me up, continuously apologizing to me. I tuned it out, I had my eyes on Masky and Toby holding him down. EJ was breathing hard and then looked at me. Not just at me, into me. He had such a deep stare. Hoodie put both of his hands on my shoulders. "Are you okay. I didn't see you leave with him I would've stopped him I'm sorry I wasn't watching you, I-I-I.." Hoodie almost seemed more beaten up than I was. I just held Hoodies arm, tightly. Then he noticed the blood on my jacket. "I should've had you placed in a different room or someth-.." He lifted my jacket and saw a gash across my stomach and side.
   I looked back over to Toby, Masky, and EJ. EJ was standing now, and seemed calm.
They all suggested we go back inside, Slender's brothers are over and are cooking dinner. Man, this night has been a fucking whirl wind.
