"HEY (Y/N)! WAKEY WAKEY!" I hear Toby scream at me as I was jolted awake by the sudden interruption. So in a panic I shoot up and clink heads with Toby as he shook my shoulders wildly. I rubbed by head and winced but he just sat there and looked confused as if it didn't even hurt him in the slightest.
      I sighed and lowered my hand from my head, "what is it toby?" I asked him in a tired and calm tone, my expression calming down from it's scrunched up position. "Oh, I just came in here to wake you up for your training!" He stated exitedly, getting off of my bed and smiling. I looked at him questioningly and replied, "didn't momma tell you not to train me no matter what?" He looked at me and cocked his head a bit to the side in a questioning matter, "I don't think so, but wanna do it anyway?" He asked me, grabbing my shoulders and giving me a hopeful look.
      I paused with a sigh "Why not." I said with a smile and the covers were suddenly yanked off of me, making me squeal from the coldness that now covered me. I wore a spare black t- shirt from the closet at the mansion and the shorts that I wore when I first came here, bandages were wrapped around my feet and ankles and I had my hair in a messy bun. "Alrighty then, just let me wake up all the way okay." I said in a yawn, streaching like a cat like always. I must look like a CATASTROPHY this morning because I felt like it. Toby nodded and just stood there, I gestured him to the door with my eyes, trying to get him to take the hint. But he still stood there and stared directly at me. "You know you can leave right?" I said, staring straight back. "Yeah," he answered, to which I responded with a "you can leave now!" I said a bit louder, sometimes he can be hard to work with, and that made me get a bit frustrated from trying not to cuss. They set up a swear jar yesterday and I already had five dollars in there in one night, but Jeff had about eight so at least I'm not the only one.
     Toby then ran off when I gave him the que to leave, and I swung my feet around the beds edge, holding onto the head board so I could ballance my self on my acheing feet. You would think that I would have stopped dancing when I came here, but it used to be one of my favorite things to do. Those....ladies ruined it for me a lot, But that's besides the point, I stood up on my feet and started limping to the bathroom that was connected to the current room I was in. I walked into the bathroom and slapped my face lazily and dragged my hand down.
      I then took out my bun almost effortlessly and my hair came tumbling down my face, I blew away some of the hair in my eyes and flipped my hair back, brushing it before it could fall back into my face. I then started brushing my teeth with the cleanest brush I could find, almost gagging as I scrubbed my molars. I spit that out and heard Toby yelling for me. I decided to skip the shower and quickly change into some leggings that sally gave me and kept the big shirt I had on, slipping on some shoes and flying down stairs as fast as my numb feet could carry me. I said hi to some people and then ran out back with Toby right behind me.
      "So what are we training for?" I asked in a huff as I bent over to catch my breath. "I don't know? What do you wanna learn?" He asked, making me think. I tapped my chin but then answered, "wanna show me how to use a weapon?" He seemed to squeel a bit and ran off, and he came out with a gun which I quickly declined, but then he came out with a staff thing that had two sharp blades attached to each side. "I call this thing a double staff, it's really awsome!" He said exitedly, running  towards me with the weapon in his hand. I backed up a bit when he was getting a bit to fast coming down the hill of the clearing, and I stepped to the side and grabbed him by his hoodie to make him stop. "I wouldn't recommend running with that thing Toby, it's dangerous." I said, turning him around and taking the thing from his hands. It was quite heavy but I could still hold it easily, I looked at it more and notices the chainsaw like ridges in the blade at the top of the staff, and the bottom one was like a knife blade, extremely sharp and sort of like a knife. I thanked Toby then he started showing me the basics of a staff with a large stick he found lying about the area. He was kinda sloppy at it but we were still having fun, it kind of reminded me when I would play with a baton I once found in a trashcan. So I was able to make it spin like a windmill once, but then I hit my head on the poll that connected the two blades.
      Me and Toby laughed for hours at that. But then we heard the familiar voices of hoodie and masky making their way up the clearing. But once they caught site of me and Toby laughing with weapons around us they freaked out and started running our way, and momma masky didn't look pleased at all. I stood up nervously and so did Toby, I stood in front of Toby as they made their way to us but masky walked right passed me and socked Toby in the mouth, pretty sure he couldn't feel it but he was still knocked out cold. Then he turned to me and I seemed to shrink under his gaze, but he suddenly changed and held onto me crying, "you could have got hurt by that dumb ass!" I looked at him confused but patted his back anyway, looking toward hoodie from some help but he held his hands up and quietly said, "your on your own buddy."
      I sighed and apologized to masky and held his shoulders, pushing them in front of me. "I would have been fine, we were just trying out this weird double scythe that Toby found." I tried to sound reasonable but he just became more baffled, "we tryed to save a girl who almost got herself killed already hoodie." He said in a high voice as he sunk down to the floor at our feet. I just looked at hoodie and shrugged, watching as he quietly whispered stuff to masky. I could vaugly hear what he said, "Slender........kill....if not........" and I couldn't hear any more. But I clearly got the hint that something was mandatory for the boss. I just whistled nervously and started for the door only for the back of my shirt to get grabbed by a cold hand. I yelped, surprised to see Jeff behind me in the doorway. "Oh, hi man," I said nervously, getting free from his grasp. "Hey kid, if you wanted proper training you could have asked, it's better than that waffle eating bastard  anyway." He said, crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame. I smiled and nodded, rubbing the back of my head and walking off. "That was ruff," I whispered to myself, walking into the kitchen to try and find something to eat. When I was living with the witches they only fed me slop so I was almost in tears when I smelled the delicious food that was being cooked. Slender seemed to be cooking breakfast for everyone and there was no sign of slob or scraps at all.
     You could tell me I was skin and bones and I would believe you, my life consisted of sleeping, dancing, and being yelled at, there was no time for eating. I saw slender turn his head to my red face he ushered me over to him. "Do you want to help me child?" He asked me in my head, making me nod and try to blink the tears away, pretending to wipe my eyes on my sleeve like I was rubbing the tired from my eyes. I took a hair bop and put my hair up as to not ruin the food. "Can you help me set the table please?" He asked, one of his tendrils opening the drawer that held the silverware. It made a clanging noose when he opened it, making me flinch, but I smiled and nodded. Grabbing some silverware and placing a knife, spoon, and fork in front of each seat. I also grabbed some plates and placed them beside the silverware, making sure everything was straight and where it was supposed to be. "well done child, it seems that you've had experience before, but anyway, can you run and get the rest of the pastas while i get the food set up?" he asked me, to which i replied with a small nod and ran off in the direction of the first set of rooms. "its time for dinner!" I shouted down the halls that were lined with many different doors marked with various different colors and designs. "Coming!" I heard multiply voices shout in unison. Then, as if they were soldiers running into battle, they trampled over my now crippled form like wild animals. "Jeez guys, what the fuck!" I shouted, already putting a dollar I stole from jeff in the swear jar sally made. "They always do this child, I just learn to live with it...... Literally." Slender said with a sigh as he left to go back in the kitchen. I dusted my self off and rolled my neck a bit till i heard the defining pop of my joints, a flurry of sleepyness drowning my brain. I sighed as i too made my way into the dining room, the noise of all the pastas together making them seem like a big family. I started to giggle watching all of them fight over who gets dibs on what food. The giggling turned in to childish laughter, the rare noise surrounding the whole dining room and kitchen, making the pastas stop and stare for a bit. I finally have a family to depend on! I dont have to hide or deal with anymore pain or words of hurt. All these thoughts releived me and i started to cry tears of joy, while laughing my heart out. Everyone joined in to laugh with me as everyone started to leave their seats and make a group hug, masky and hoodie being the ones who were right beside me.

    My life seemes complete now.
