Proxy in Command (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 3

I immediately rushed outside and started to run towards the fire's direction. Once I was nearly there, I slightly slowed down so that I can ready about the other proxy's information.

Tobias (Toby) Erin Rogers

Toby grew up with several mental disorders during his childhood, making it difficult for him to fit in with "normal people".

Bullied for his tics

Toby's symptoms worsened after sister's death

up-beat and hyper personality but will sometimes lose control of his emotions due to his bipolar disorder, making it difficult to talk to him at times.

I stared at his photo for 10 seconds before closing the folder and begin sprinting towards his house.

There was already a crowd forming, staring at the house. The sirens were heard but they were still far from the house. I knew I had to go inside so without thinking, I rushed inside ignoring the crowd's screams. On one hand, I covered my nose with my hood, and with the other, I held the folder.

"Toby!" I yelled but received no response. I then noticed the backyard door was opened. I prayed he was outside

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw him pointing a hatchet towards me. "Who a-are you?" He demanded. I saw his eyes were filled with fear and his mouth was open where you could see his teeth.

I raised my hands in surrender. "Toby we need to get out of here before the firemen and the police arrive. I need you to follow me so that-"

"H-how can I t-trust you!" he screamed.

"Toby, please! We're running out of time. I will explain everything if we can go now!"

He immediately sprinted towards my side while aiming his hatchet. I rolled down and got up. I held his arms so he wouldn't attack me.

"Is someone out there?" I heard a fireman yell out.

Toby turned around and looked at me, "L-lead the way"

I let him go and ran towards the wooden fence. I jumped up but waited for Toby. He turned to look at his burning house before jumping down.

"As crazy as it sounds we have to run towards the forest, there I will explain everything," I told him in which he nodded.

|~~~|

After 5 minutes of running, we finally made it to the forest. Overall I felt proud of myself for gathering the proxies in less than 2 hours.

"C-can I ask you an f-few q-questions?" He asked.

"Go ahead," I said without emotion.

"Who are you and why d-did you save me?"

I looked straight and tried to think of an answer that wouldn't freak him out. "I'm Y/N L/N and I was sent by my master to save you. Although I was supposed to do that later but you cracked earlier," I explained.

"W-what's in the f-folder?" He asked

"Information about you," I confessed. "When I brought the other 2 proxies, I was informed your insanity cracked so I took it and read through it while I was making my way towards you."

"I-I'm s-sorry"

I clicked my tongue, "It wasn't your fault kid. I know you had a shitty past so I'm not surprised you finally took actions," I admitted.

(...)

I knocked on Slenderman's door and waited for his response. Once I heard it, I opened the door for Toby and got inside the office. I closed the door and saw that Slenderman was sitting down on his desk with Tim and Brian in front of him. Offender and Trender were on his left while Splendor was on his right.

"Toby Rogers, take a seat," Slender said while pointing towards the empty seat on the right.

Toby looked at me and I nodded. I was making my way next to Splendor while Toby walked behind me to his assigned seat.

Splendor placed his left hand on my right shoulder and smiled, "I'm proud of you Y/N"

I gave him a small smile and looked towards Slenderman.

"Toby Rogers I am Slenderman and I was just saying to the other 2 that I have been watching you three for some time now. I know you all have the potential of becoming my proxies. This means you four will go out to accomplish the missions I assign you whether it's killing or spying on someone but in this next case is gathering another Creepypasta. You can no longer have your human life anymore which means no contact with anyone else besides the other killers in this mansion. You will be living in this mansion. You three have the choice to join but if you don't, I sadly have to kill you. So, what are your answers?"

I looked towards the guys' unreadable expressions. Tim and Brian were deeply thinking while Toby was twitching badly. Brian and Tim looked towards each other and nodded.

"We accept"

Toby then nodded, "So d-do I"

Slenderman nodded and opened up his desk drawer. He gave Tim a white mask, while Brian got a black one. He then gave Toby goggles and a mouthguard.

"Your new names will be Masky, Hoodie, and Toby," Slenderman told them. He then looked towards us. "I'm going to mark them. I need you 4 to leave," he demanded.

We nodded and left his room with Offender closing the door. "I heard when Slendy marks them the process is quite painful," he said.

I touched my left shoulder with my right-hand where I was marked by Slenderman. "I don't remember feeling pain but again, I was like 6 or 7 when he marked me."

"And it was all because of Zalgo," Trender muttered.

Immediately screams were heard from Slenderman's room which got our attention. I couldn't help but slightly smirk. "Is it seriously that painful?" I laughed.

The screams soon stopped and Slender opened the door. "It appears it was too painful for them which made them faint. Luckily I managed to still mark them," he explained. "They'll wake up in a few hours"

He then looked at me and handed me 8 folders. "These are the other Creepypastas. I'll tell you when it's time to gather them." He told me which I nodded. "If you excuse me, I have some work to do," he stated and closed the door.

"So I'm guessing you have the day of Y/N" Splendor said with a huge smile across his face.

I shrugged, "You never know-"

"Don't sweat it kid," Offender interrupted me while wrapping his arm on my shoulder. We were all making our way towards the living room."We haven't spent time together so might as well take advantage of this day"

"Especially since this could be the last time we have some privacy before the other Creepypastas arrive," Trender added.

I sat in the middle of the couch with Offender on my left and Trender on my right. Splendor sat on the carpet in front of me. I couldn't help but think about Zalgo. He was going to wake up soon and that meant an upcoming battle. Will I be able to face Zalgo after all those years of torture?

"Y/N?" I heard Spendor call out my name before I could remember what Zalgo did to me.

I looked at him and realized he was holding my hands. "Are you alright? You're trembling."

"Are you thinking about Zalgo?" Offender asked while Trender was rubbing my back.

I shook my head. I didn't want them to know I slightly feared him."I can't wait to kill him," I muttered.

There were a few things in my childhood that traumatized me and it was mostly because of Zalgo. No one knows what happened 10 years ago besides Zalgo and me. There were secrets that I hid as a child to keep the others safe. It took me a long time to forget those nightmares but I eventually did. Now that he was back, I fear all those memories and nightmares will return.
