Toby’s P.O.V

I couldn’t stop crying. Where did I go wrong? I knelt on the floor beside the couch. Everyone else decided to sleep in the guest room or in the van. I couldn’t sleep. I could never sleep without knowing that Annabell was okay. I laid my head on my arms, holding her hand. I closed my eyes and seen nothing but darkness. I felt lost and lonely. I heard what sounded like Annabell, but the voice was coming from behind me. I looked behind me, there was nobody there. I turned back around and that’s when I saw it. Afraid, I jumped backwards and hit my shoulder on the chair that was behind me. It was looking down at Annabell. It looked like Slenderman but different, it had many different features. It looked almost like Annabell. It looked up at me. “Toby.” Its voice boomed. “Toby can you see me?” I didn’t know what to say, or even how to react. I just sat there staring at the creature. “Toby” It said once again. “Toby if you can see or hear me then please give me a sign.” I stumbled to my feet. It was nerve racking.

Annabell’s P.O.V

My plan had worked. I formed back into the slender like form that I could. Toby could see and hear me. “Toby I don’t know what happened but this is the only way for you to see me.” My voice boomed from all directions.

“I-I-I don’t k-know how.” He stopped talking. He couldn’t stand to see me like this.

“I’m sorry Toby.” I changed back to my normal form and was no longer visible to Toby. Toby began looking around like he was looking for something that would tell him I was still there. I teleported to mansion looking for something to tell me that I had a chance to come back. I went into my father’s office and began looking around. I could hear Masky and Hoodie playing video games with Ben in the living room.

“Sh, do you guys hear that?” Ben said putting down his controller and walking towards the office. They followed behind him.

“I think you’re hearing things again.” Masky laughed.

“No there is a noise coming from the office. I hear it.” Hoodie admitted. They walked into the office. I didn’t think much of it. They couldn’t see me, and technically it was now my office. That’s when I heard the noise. It was coming from the secret room. They walked over to the door and opened it. I followed behind them thinking about how useful to me they are right now. There was a banging noise coming from the wall, or at least we thought it was a wall. They all worked together to bust down the wall. There was a cement door behind the wall. They pushed the door open. It was a room that looked to be another bedroom. In the middle of the room was a casket. The casket was shaking. They were all hesitant to go anywhere near it. We all walked up to it. There were locks all down the casket keeping whatever was inside trapped until somebody got the nerve to open it. Masky walked up to it and shot off all the locks. The casket lid swung open. Inside was a man that looked to be in his thirties.

“I thought you were never going to find this room.” The man said sitting up, struggling to get out of the casket. The voice sounded familiar.

“Who the hell are you?” Masky asked confused as to what just happened.

“I am the one who owns this mansion, the one who looks after these woods, and the one who you of course would not recognize in this form.” He said.

“Wait what I’m confused. Slendy is the one who owns this mansion and looks after these woods, and he kind of died and left everything to his daughter.” Masky said.

“And his daughter is now in the same form that he was when he was unconscious, something went wrong that I need to help her with.” He said with a smile. I knew exactly who this man was, and he was the last person I expected to crawl out of a casket.
