*Shadow's POV*
It's been three weeks since I was first kidnapped, one since Zalgo stopped torturing me physically. I get two hours of sleep each night. Not consistently. I have officially been diagnosed with insomnia and I'm not just mentally scarred. All my old scares have been made new and new ones have joined them. Then there's the grafting. There's no scars on them but the black skin joining with my own pale is enough of a scar in itself. I have enough permanent reminders for a lifetime, never mind an eternal one. I am broken.

Now I'm just left alone all day, with my twisting thoughts. After the physical abuse, he just lets it what he's done sit, rot. The nurse came in everyday and checked up on me, she talked with me but one day she revealed to me that she can't do anything to help my medical condition. It wasn't Zalgo's orders, it was that I wouldn't let her in, I reflexively wouldn't let her help me. I guess I need family. Without the torture, my strength was slowly coming back to me. They didn't feed me enough, purposely keeping my strength down from what it could be. I no longer wore the muzzle. I suppressed my fox urges to snarl and growl, to harbour strength. I guess my guards thought I'd just given up.
With my harbouring strength, I thought about escape. I don't care if I was stuffed up, I don't care if I would be in so much pain I couldn't speak. I knew I needed to get out of here. I guess my bond with Jess was shining through, because that's what she was doing.

*Wolfix's POV*
I was in the leader team. It consisted of Jess, EJ, Jeff, Jane and myself. The rest split up into groups to search different parts of the base. We had the most likely place and so the strongest went. BEN was going to hack the cameras and the whole system to help us out. Slender had called in some favours from his brothers and so they came with the majority of their proxies.

We got ready to burst through the front door. BEN had hacked the cameras of the front. They had no idea of what was going to happen. I smile, swinging my spear and twirling it around my arm. This is a rescue mission, but it's about to get bloody. I grin wider. This is going to be FUN!

*third person*
The whole squad burst through the front door, killing every proxy of Zalgo's in sight. It was quick and quiet. BEN was still on the cameras, they were good. The groups silently broke off, running down hallways. The head group advanced. Slender's best proxies, Shadow's closest friends. Her killer, her demon friend, her best girl, her twin and her mate. They all advanced down the hall to the end with a staircase leading underground.
"I'll take point," says EJ. They advance.
They come out to a wide corridor of blocked off rooms. They found it. At the very end of the corridor they saw a white room. The nurse's office. Shadow's pictures were either taken there or in her chamber. Now they just had to find it. Before they could take another step, they were swarmed with Zalgo's proxy's. Weapons were readied and the blood bath began. The fight ended, all of Zalgo's proxies on the floor, either dead or unconscious. The team had scratches but were mostly covered in the blood of their enemies. The one with the most blood on their outfit was Jess. Everyone in that team had a new realisation in what this demon would do for her mate. They knew never to get in the way of her loyalty. They moved from room to room, peeking in each door. All of them were empty so far. There were four doors left, but something interrupted their search. A hell hound. It ran at the party and they rolled out of the way. It skidded and turned around, growling at the team. Jeff and EJ charged it before anyone could say anything but their knives made no difference to the hell hound. It swept them against the wall and they slid down, not unconscious but dazed. Jess then stared at her blades and back at the hell hound.
"It's mine." She growled.
And then she ran up to it with inhuman speed, slid under the beast and stabbed it's heart with her Stygian iron blades. The monster immediately disintegrated and Jess was left with hell hound dust on her.
"Monsters can only die from demigod weapons. They technically can't hurt mortals like Jeff and Jane but Hades enchanted them. Let me attack the monsters." She says. Wolfix nods at her and they move on to the next doors. The first was empty, but the second had a certain fox in it. She was scarred but healed and she wore the black shirt she had been wearing when EJ chased her and the grey trackies. They were both extremely torn up now and hung off her frame. The team swarmed into the room as Shadow lifted her head and her eyes went wide.
"Y...your... here..." she choked out. Shadow had only started to use her voice again. It was a bit shaky. She looked down and touched her arm, pinched it and then looked up again.
"And I'm not dreaming." Then she cried. She cried and Jess hugged her, trying not to hurt her but also expressing her need for her mate.
"Let's get you out of here."
The team broke the chains binding the fox to the wall and Jess picked her up bridal style. She was light, she hadn't been fed enough. Shadow felt the warmth of her mate, and lent her head on Jess' chest, her arms around her neck. When she did that, it drew the teams attention to her black upper arms.
"What did they do to you?" Wolfix said. Shadow didn't respond. The team walked out of the basement, the smiling nurse watching them leave...

They emerged out of the basement to chaos. The whole room was covered in rubble and fallen proxies as the two operators battled. Zalgo and Slenderman.
"You won't have her, she is paying for the two demons you stole from me. I intend to make her suffer. She will suffer for what you do to stop me."
Zalgo screams. He hadn't noticed the successful team. The team supported the injured fox between them and ran through the damaged foyer. They got outside and set Shadow on the ground. EJ then talks into his earpiece.
"We've got her. Everyone get out of the building before slender breaks the place down on your heads!" He yells into the mike.
Two minutes later, the building starts shaking tremendously as all the groups rush out of it. Slender was not far behind and he walked out just as the place collapsed.
"Zalgo's gone and we have our proxy back. Thank you everyone. Please go home, you deserve rest. Thank you brothers. We will visit one day but not today. I have a proxy to take care of. Goodbye."
We all link arms and teleport back to the mansion. Shadow was still being carried but had switched over to Wolfix. They walk into the mansion and take the injured demon to her room. She tries to stand at one point but immediately falls and her mate catches her. She is put onto the bed and laid down. Everyone except Wolfix, Jess and Slenderman leave the room.
"I take it that this will be hard, but I need you to talk about what he did to you." Shadow looks up at Slenderman. She looks at Jess and Wolfix and then down at her hands and sits up against the pillows. She grabs Jess' hand and pulls her into the bed next to her. She then takes a deep breath and recounts the past three weeks...

*Shadow's POV*
The three weeks. I didn't want to, but I knew I had to. They deserved to know, they needed to know. I went through the routine, the insomnia. I choked at the grafting, pulling down my replaced shirt to revealed the change in skin tone. Jess starred at me for a little but then moved to hug me. I lean into the affection and comfort. I take a deep breath and continue. The pause in torture, the nurse, my mental condition, my returning strength. My story finishes and slender pauses before talking.
"Thank you... I'll... let's talk in the morning. Please try and get some sleep." And he walks out of our room. Wolfix goes to follow him but pauses in the doorway. She turns her head and looks at us, "goodnight." She says. I smile and she walks out. Jess got up and crawled under the blankets. I followed suit with a little difficulty. She held me in her arms under the blankets.
"I... I don't want to fall asleep..."
"... I know, can you tell me why?"
"... the screams, I can hear my screams when I sleep. Either from recently or 10 years ago when I died."
"How... how did you die?"
"... Jeff stabbed me."
I could hear an intake of breath and I start talking again.
"I don't blame him for it, I can't hold that revenge. Wolfix helped me. But he did torture me before he killed me."
Her breathing slowed but hitched when I mentioned the torture.
"Well, your safe here. I wont let anything happen to you, never again. If you sleep, you won't hear the screams. I'm here now, I'll keep them away if I have to. You're safe and nothing is going to happen if you fall asleep." She said. I stare into her loving eyes. I could tell it was going to take a while before I could be fixed, but for the moment I can trust my girlfriend, my mate. I can help her by sleeping and I know that I won't hear the screams tonight. Once I had accepted that, exhaustion hit me like I'd never felt. My eyes lids drooped, completely out of my control. I let them. I nuzzled into Jess' chest, closing my eyes and falling into the warm darkness. Of home.

A/N: I'm getting nervous about if someone sees this.
It's kinda too late now.
