The presence was so strong, then like a damn had broken. Hundreds, thousands of moments came rushing back to her.

The small girl rushed from her mothers arms, Slender, pulled her closer with a tendril, than circled around the girl. 

(Y/n) collapsed to her knees, the freezing snow stabbed into her knees as she felt two hands cover her eyes.
Slender mumbled something in an old, forgotten language. Then, his mate screamed.
If your cousin was there they wouldn't be able to hear it, no one but the demons could, and if one had to tell you what it was like they would describe it as pain. Nothing but pain, all the memories of their pain were replayed over, and over. Until they wanted to kill themselves, and many did. The others ran, flew teleported out of there.

Slender let the young girl go, as Jeff came around the corner, along with Toby, and the others. Sally ran into Jeffs arms, feeling frightened by the energy her mother gave off.

Tears ran down (y/n)s face, as she let out a sob without noise.
One hand was taken away from her eyes, and wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to the creatures chest.

"I'm sorry." The deep voice said, into the girls ear.

She was numb, broken again. She remembered it all. She never learned sign language in school, her parents she remembered them, and what they did to her.

She wanted to push away from the suited figure, and scream at him. Yet, at the same time she wanted to stay in his arms, curl up there, and stay there forever.

A minute later, his hand still covered her eyes, tears ran down her red cheeks. She sucked in the cold air, almost falling to the snow.

"You left. Why?" She was able to say, as she struggled in his grip. He didn't want to let go, but reluctantly did, looking at the dark eyes that we're clouded with tears, confusion, and pain

"Why?! Why give me this false happiness!? Why leave us when we needed you!?"

Anger flooded her, they could have died! Her daughter almost died! Smile could be dead! They were ill prepared! She was angry at herself. She was ill prepared.

They didn't notice how still the field was, how the others were looking at them shocked, some tending to the wounded.
Toby, and Jeff watching from a few feet away, Jeff holding Sally in his arms so she wouldn't run to them just yet.
She didn't need to know about the mental battle that was going place.

"I was trying to help you!" Slender said calmly
"I didn't want you to deal with that pain, not all of it without me, but if I came back then it would have ressurfaced."

She knew reasonably that she couldn't be mad at him, that in all actuality she had no reason to be. She wanted to be mad though, for not just leaving her but also for leaving Sally.
She remembered the words he spoke in the dead language.
"Was it really if you came back? Or did you force it to come back?"

He said nothing. She simply glared at him through her tear soaked eyes, sending about every curse word she could think of too him, even strange mixes like:
"You jerk of a cock can in a dickless air plane."
"Daddy!" A small voice yelled.

Jeff could no longer hold Sally back, she jumped into the snow, tears running down her face.Slender brought the girl close to him, greatful that he was here on time. He saved them both, he knew only a few would not make it through the night, the dog he would make sure lived though. He did love that dog.

(Y/n) tried to smile, seeing her daughter so happy, but slowly with every memory still surfacing in her brain it felt like something was sucking the life out of her.

That night there was a celebration for Slender returning, and for the defeat of the demons. (Y/n) sat on the couch with her third beer bottle, feeling like she could cry. Toby sat beside her, the two just sat there quietly, until a very drunk Jeff came along.

"Hey guys." He said, putting his arm around (Y/n), and kissing her cheek. She pushed him away, her eyes cold.
"Shit man, what's your problem? Or are you just an angry drunk?"
Jeff said staggering back towards the two.

"Her m-memories came back." Toby said, a bit of soberness came over the black haired teens face.
"Well nothing like a few drinks, to take away the pain."
"Hell yeah." The other two said, taking another swig of their beers.

By the time it was five in the morning,  (y/n) was the only person awake, or so she thought. She sat on the kitchen counter, Jeff, and Toby below her, a pillow, and blanket keeping them both comfortable. She looked down at them, and did find the sight cute but no emotion would surface as she saw her two friends cuddle each other. 
Toby was snuggled close to Clockworks foot, and Jeff was mumbling something about pizza.

Silently the girl sifted through her drunken memories, the song.
"Tag you're it." Playing in her head.
With hot tears sprawling, down her face she threw the bottle at the wall. It almost hit it until a pale man caught it.
"Is it bad?" Slender asked.
She nodded, and began crying again, putting her hand over her mouth, and brining a leg on the counter, resting her head against it.

"I'm sorry." Slender said, stretching a tendril out to his love, wrapping it around her, and pulling to him, gently, he wanted to hug her, but the fear of breaking her somehow stopped him.

"Can I hug you?" He breathed shakily.
Again the girl nodded, throwing herself onto him.
They stayed like that, until the girl cried herself to sleep.
