I Like Your Ticks (Under Construction 08/26/24)

Chapter 1

Xenah is a oc character so there will be no y/n or anything like that..it makes it easier for me

TOBY POV
(I'm not gonna do the stuttering so just imagine it)

Today is January 8th, Im on a mission with EJ and Jeff and it's literal hell.

"Why do we need to check out the noises why can't Ben or Sally do it?" Jeff complains constantly he wants to be a proxy without all the stuff that comes with being one....

"Because it's our job you idiot," I reply to him. Were walking down a small river to see an old building with loud music coming through and about 5 people inside.

"We should sneak attack," EJ suggests.

"Why would we do that we're literal serial killers," Jeff protests.

"We don't know what they could have," EJ argued. As they argue back and forth I make my way to the side of the building sneaking in and checking out the people. There's 3 boys and 2 girls all in there teens..they have a bonfire and playing music so getting them shouldn't be a big issue.

I make my way to the toughest looking guy first whose alone in a corner and use my axe to his head quickly. By this time Jeff and EJ are getting the 2 girls leaving only 2 guys. I watch as one of the guys breaks a broom stick using it as a weapon, Jeff is behind him ready to attack while EJ is stuck with the 2 girls. I'm about to attack with Jeff when EJ screamsm.

We both look back to see the other boy has stabbed EJ in his stomach and the boy Jeff and I were about to attack knocks Jeff out with the broom. I run up the stairs hiding behind a door waiting for them to chase me. As one runs right past the door I axe the others ankles making him fall and I axe his torso his friend watching in fear and tries to attack me with the broom stick. I Dodge his hits and throw my ex which flings him into a wall pinning him there and killing him.

I go grab my axe and head back downstairs to see Jeff barely waking up and EJ managed to kill the 2 girls but his stomach is dripping blood everywhere on the wood floor. "Your both idiots," I say to them as I pick up EJ and help him.

"T-toby I feel funny," EJ says touching his wound...I don't think he's going to make it.

"You'll be fine," I lie and carry him back to the mansion with Jeff following and complaining how he got hit. As we walk I tune out Jeff and all other sounds stuck in my own head failing to realize EJ died in my arms halfway through the walk home.

It's not til we walk in the mansion Laughing Jack points it out that he's asleep. I snap back to reality at his comment and take him to slendermans office. "How did this happen!?" He yells at Jeff and Me.

"He got stabbed by one of the guys, Jeff left EJ with 2 girls to get another guy I was having a mini stand off with," I explained evyto him. He doesn't look amused I can tell by the energy, he tells me to lay EJ on the bed in his office. I do as he says and sit back down with Jeff.

"I only allow you to die 2x before I leave you dead why would you let him waste this it was his last one," Slender asks. We both say nothing Jeff isn't taking this very serious and I'm at a loss of how to fix the situation.

"Were sorry sir" Is all I can really say.

"I will be taking one of your lives for his, which one am I going to take," Slender orders. I look at Jeff, it's his fault why EJ even died. Jeff shakes his head "Toby is the team leader it should be his," he says. Now I'm the leader all of a sudden.

I look at slender unamused and nod wanting to get this over with. Slender nods as well and with that I have no more extra lives. "By the way Jeff, you'll no longer be on proxy duties," Slender demotes him as we leave the room.

A week later..

Slenderman said there will be 3 new proxies joining me since last week's events,
I think it's kinda dumb I don't need help with missions but slender insist that it's exactly what I need.

I heard slenderman yell that they were here so I'm heading down to the living room now

Xenah POV

It's been so long since ive seen slendy,
Im very excited to come and stay with him and his pastas. That is if masky wasn't such a pain in the ass. He always complains, but none the less hoodie is always there to put him in his place before I do. Masky was once complaining again. As usual

"I don't understand why we had to leave anyways" he tells me, I ignore him telling him to carry all the heavy stuff as I open the mansion door to see slendy and his other pastas already lined up waiting.

"Hello and welcome back child" slendy greets me, I say hello back and so do my proxies

Masky and hoodie share a room while I get my own, Each of the pastas greet me and my friends except for one boy in particular, he seems cold and stand offish which kinda irks me.

(Time skip)
TOBY POV

It was night already and everyone were in their rooms getting ready for bed, not me though. I don't sleep much due to my nightmares so sometimes I just stay up or go for a kill

But for the next 4 days slendy was on a mission, and during those times we have a certain amount of time for when we can go out

For a while now I've been wanting to look through slenders office, Jeff said something about this drug that helps you sleep faster or something like that I can't really remember. since he was gone I snuck into his office to look for them, I didn't find any but as I was walking out a folder fell as I picked it up I realized it was a folder for the new pastas

Aka the new girl that just arrived

I skimmed through it a bit and It turned out she also had night terrors like me and also couldn't feel pain. Earlier when I seen her she seemed very cheerful, it made me want to put her head on a stick.

I decided to walk back and forth outside in the hall to tire me out but that didn't work. Xenah then walked out of her room, she was in a t-shirt and some sweats and had a pocket knife in her hand

"Oh, it's you. Sorry I heard footsteps and got paranoid" she laughed and put her knife in her pocket "heh yeah I think if someone did come in Jeff would deal with it considering he's on the 1st floor" I replied "Jeff is the one with the smile right?" She asked while making a smile on her face with her hands

I nodded in response, "okay well goodnight Toby, and don't make me come out here again" she laughed and went back to her room. Her smile, laugh, kindness is ugly to look at...there's no reason for anyone to be that positive.

She kinda creeps me out if I'm being honest to, I've been more anxious since I saw her earlier today. Maybe it's because of her outer appearance, She has slightly curved horns, long sharp nails and her skin color is a very light shade of pink
