The Boy Who Drowned [ BEN Drowned Love Story ]

Chapter 12 - Walking With LJ

I wake up the next morning, seeing everyone staring down at me. I scream of shock, and they all smile and laugh. I roll my eyes, and then Slenderman leans in...seperating them all.

"You slept in late, child. Have you decided who you want to assist in killing?" I thought.

"Wait!" I heard someone shout. "Have you forgotten about me, Slendyman?" he says with a laugh following. Slenderman shakes his head. BEN frowns immensely.

"You are too hardcore for her!" BEN shouts in his loud voice.

"Yes, child. You are indeed too cruel to the young woman's mind. Maybe we shall keep your killing alone?" Slenderman suggests. Laughing Jack's laugh, as what I recognized, fades.

"That's not fair, BENNY, now is it? You fine folks said that everyone shall kill with her!" Jack shouts. Slenderman sighs.

"Yes, indeed we all did. Child, what I am saying is that you killing children is hurtful to this woman...who will one day, eventually give birth to one. Dependless if it's BEN, Masky, or even Toby!" I stare blankly. Toby, BEN, and Masky? Are those three specifically wanting me? I see all three of them blush, even through Masky and Toby's masks I can see faint red color. I sigh. Apparently they do. I groan and sigh several times.

"Ah! It appears she's getting bored, allow me to take her one a walk to get to know me!" Laughing Jack shouts. Everyone nods but BEN, Masky, and Toby. Well now it's just obvious... I walk up to LJ. He's atleast a foot taller than me. I walk out the door with him, and I can hear BEN, Toby and Mask mumbling and whispering to eachother. Jealous, are they?

"How do you do? I introduced myself, I am Laughing Jack! I love laughter and hate children. Candy is the best to kill with, aswell! Now, introduce me to you! How do you kill? What do you love? Who do you hate?" he bursts. I roll my eyes, this is annoying.

"Lillian, you can call me Lilly. I hate it when people don't recognize me, as my catchphrase is, "Relax, it's just me!". Ever since when I was 13, no one recognized me. I would wave to my cousins and aunts at reunions, and they would stare like they had no idea who I was. Anywhooo! I love BENNY, he's dear to me-" LJ cuts me off.

"Oh my! You have fallen for little leprechaun boy? I thought I could of won you for myself!" he laughs. "Please, keep going! You are fascinating!" I shrug it off and continue.

"Last, I have decided how I shall kill. I will go with Masky and Hoodie, I know they don't, 'just kill'. Besides, they both are quiet. I want to get to know them better," LJ stares at me with a shocked smile.

"Amazing! Let's walk back!" he spins me around, and we walk back. I arrive and announce it, everyone stares. Masky is blushing, and Hoodie stays silent. BEN and Toby make eye contact with eachother and groan. Are they fighting over me, or do they all think they just simply don't want me with anyone else in common..?

"Cool, come with me. I'll give you a weapon choice," Masky says quietly. I follow him up the stairs. He opens a door to a room with plenty weapons. I admire them all.

"You don't need a specific weapon. You just choose whichever you wish," he mumbles. I nod in understanding. I find interest in the three colored daggers. The labels read...

Green - Poison

Blue - Normal

Red - Sudden Death

I smile, then Masky places a hand on my shoulder. I jump at his sudden movement.

"I was surprised when you said you wanted to kill with Hoodie and I," he whispers. I smile at him, and I nod. "Hoodie is fond of you, he just likes to keep quiet, in case you were wondering," he mumbles. I inhale the air, I smell his lovely sent of cologne. I giggle.

"I wasn't, and I like your cologne...by the way," I say it with a smile, and his ears turn red. I laugh a bit, and he shrugs it off.

"My name is Tim, you can call me that. My brother's name is Brian, yeah, don't call him that," he says. I think I can get used to this!
