I walk into the living room and look to everyone, to which they quiet down and look back. "We need to hone our skills. If this thing continues, we need to be ready..." I state. Ben gets up and I feel his hand on my shoulder, I can just remember his blonde hair, and those stranger dark eyes. Completely black, with only a red dot in center. He's glitchy as he speaks, "(Y/n). We'll be ready." he assures me. I shake my head, "No. We need to prepare. Not just defenses, we need power." I wave him away. Jane stands and speaks, "Alright, then teach us. We know how to kill, how to heal, how to keep away from danger. So go ahead, teach us all of that." I can feel the glare as she speaks, she's usually sweet and loving but, now that Zalgo is involved she seems tense. Everything has been going so fast lately, and now, everything has to have a set time. "Jane. If you believe you can take them on, take me outside. Take me down. Do it." I challenge her. It's a simple challenge, one on one. "Easy," I can see her aura practically smile.

Outside everyone stands around about two yards away, giving us space to spar. Jane stands in front of me, she seems calm except for her aura. Her aura is excited and ready to kill. She's blood thirsty. I sigh a little, at this rate at least she will get some practice in. The power I have honestly needs a name... I can deal with that later. Jane shifts a moment before the winds blows a warm breeze by, then she charges. Jane runs at a zig zag with her knife. She swipes at me and I bring my elbow down on her back. She falls to the ground and sweeps my legs to which I flip backwards landing on my feet. "Where did he/she learn to fight like that..." Jeff mumbles quietly by a tree. He's leaned against it with his arms crossed. His aura gives that much away. I by this time am just going off what Slender had shown me. All those painful times we left and I came back covered with bruises hidden under my clothes. It was paying off. As for my electric shock abilities... Jane charges one more time in the hopes of keeping me on my toes, to which I control a small amount of electricity to one finger and tap her shoulder as I dodge. She yells out before growling, her aura turning red. She swing at me and I duck down putting my hands in my pockets and sweeping her legs. She jumps to avoid it and I quickly bring my right leg up kicking her out of the air. She lands on the ground coughing a bit.

"Again, you need training." I turn to everyone watching. "where did you learn that?" Jeff asks. "Every time Slender took me, he would train me. Train me to fight. Train me to kill. To use my ability," I state. I can hear slender in the woods. He is back? Then why stay away?...I don't question it as I continue, "I am not extremely well trained, but I know enough to at least stand a chance against Zalgo. I chased him off once before, and he sent minions after us. We will chase them away as well, and go straight for their master." I growl as I swing my arm out, what looks like lightning surrounding my arm. I can see the energy through the corner of my eye, and I feel the heat I give off. Suddenly everyone's aura changes, seemingly I have gotten through to them. And so, it begins. The reason I was not killed. The reason I was brought here. Masky, did you know?


Everyone gets set up outside. We work on trap making, and work on setting up props for training. Everything is by this point going to plan. Tim works on the practice dummies, I work on warm up for a moment. "If you don't control your breathing, you'll die. Breathing and stretching are highly important. If you slow your breath, concentrate, and focus on the kill, you can hide your presence. But if you get too excited, blood thirsty, or panic, you will die." I pace back and fourth a moment. Jeff snickers, "Way to set the mood here," he does something but I can't make it out. I'm betting though he pulled on his eye and stuck out his tongue. I look at everyone once more, shifting my mask. "This is kill or be killed, so that's the mood. Hide your presence, keep calm, and breathe." I state before walking over to a tree and placing my hand on it. I take a slow breath before sending electricity through my arm. The tree burst at my finger tips falling slowly to the ground. Ben can be heard just barely, "Show off..."

I begin taking each step slowly. Showing them how to punch with absolute force. I take note of what they know and build off of it. Tim fills us in slowly on how many he could find on his 'scout trip' and honestly, it was starting to seem more and more like we are doomed. Once he finished speaking I starting thinking of battle strategies. The more we piece together the less we seem to stand a chance. But the more we train, the better we look. I keep everyone on their toes, even when we aren't training I keep them using their techniques and skills. At dinner I let a stray knife go for Jeff's face to which he catches it, during chores I work on Sally. Teaching her to use hide and seek to her advantage. During some time we have free we train for real, but the simplest things can go towards it as well. We all keep up, keep in shape. Soon, we have a plan. "We strike at Midnight, on the hottest day of this week, their troops will be tired, weakened from the heat. We'll split into team of three. Jeff take Ben and Smile dog. Tim, you will take Jane and Nina. I will take BP and Liu,"

And so, the plan is set in motion.
