I groaned and tossed and turned on my bed. Ugh, I want my best friends back and I'm never going to. I heard someone knock on my door and got up to see who it was. I opened the door and standing there was Jack.

"What?" I said. He looked at me. He knew by my face that I was in a bad mood.

"Can I ask you something... alone?" he asked as Laz ran out of her room with Masky chasing her. Did she steal his cigarettes? Guess so, since that would be the only reason Masky would be chasing her. 

"In here?" I asked him. Why the hell did I ask that? It was kinda obvious. He nodded. Told you.

"Okay," I said letting him in and shutting the door. I coughed and looked at him. He sat on my couch and sat beside him.

"So, uh, what did you wanna ask me," I said yawning randomly. What the actual fuck? This day keeps getting weirder and weirder. I think? Or was that the only weird thing I did today? Whatever I guess.

...

"Wait, what?" I said, blushing. I just got asked to be someone's boyfriend. Aka JACK'S boyfriend. He sighed.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked-" He said but i just hugged him. I was so happy.

"Is that a yes?" He said blushing even more. I nodded while my eyes filled with.. tears? Weird. 

Toby's POV

I fell down the stairs with Clockwork and hit the floor, laughing. Soren rushed downstairs and ran outside so fast I think I only saw him run outside, leaving the door wide open. Clockwork helped me up and ran to shut the door and tell Soren to shut it next time. Except he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Uh, should we look for him?" I asked. Clockwork nodded.

"Yeah but with everyone... I think his hunger just made him run away to eat someone," she said. Oh shit.

"GUYS! SOREN'S RAN OFF!!!" I shouted. Which made everyone stop what they were doing except for Masky and Hoodie. They didn't care about kids and they probably never will. 

"WHAT!?" Elle said rushing downstairs with her husband. 

"Yeah he ran outside and left the door open. We went to tell him to shut it next time but he was nowhere to be seen," Clock explained. True. 

BEN's POV

Me and Glitchy exchanged looks and immediately got up. I woke up Slender and looked at me.

"What?" He said yawning.

"Soren's hunger just made him run off into the woods," I said. He gawked at me. Glitchy handed him Zalder because Toby's yelling woke him up. He sighed and took Zalder. Zalder just fell asleep in his arms. Dang that kid is tired. Me and Glitchy rushed outside and ran into the forest to look for Soren. I swear if he's in trouble and we find him, I'm gonna be pissed because I don't do rescue missions unless I'm ordered to by Slender. 

"Hey, guys, mind if I come with you? Bull can track him," Laz said running over to us on Bull. We nodded. That dog can protect Glitchy from her dad if he decides to come out. And if Soren tries and attacks us he can protect us. That's because Bull's a hell dog and their skin is impossible to cut through. Not even Glitchy's things can cut through his skin. It's nuts.

"This way!" Laz told us as Bull took us in a different direction. Dang, that dog picks up scents fast. He led us all the way to... Soren... eating... someone. I gagged and Glitchy covered her eyes. Laz looked away and tried to block the smell of the blood so her hunger wouldn't  go nuts. She covered her nose as good as she could, but it wasn't working. I could see her mouth watering. Oh fuck. Soren charged at us and jumped at Glitchy. She couldn't attack him because it wasn't Soren.

"GLITCHY!" I yelled. But then Soren stopped and someone huge grabbed him. It was Zalgo. He made Soren go to sleep and looked at Glitchy.

"Are you alright?" Zalgo asked her. She nodded.

"Yeah I'm fine, sir. Thanks," she said. Sir?

"You can call me Zalgo instead of sir," He said. She smiled.

...

Elle's POV

I gave Soren a hug and cried. God, see this is why I'm worried. He looked at me and sighed. Oh goodness, he knows something is gonna happen and hasn't said anything. That face says it all. I sighed and Rodger picked up Soren and took him to his room for me. Now that's why Father allowed me to marry him. He's nice, helpful, and caring. Nothing like Alex's sorry ass. I just realized Glitch's real name is Alex. I wasn't talking about her though. I meant Alex, as in Lulu's "brother". 

"Hey Elle," Lulu said passing me. 

"Hey," I said. Well, look at that. I think of her name and she appears. What is she? Bloody Mary? I sighed and sat down on the couch. I looked at Slender. I guess he was my step-mother. Right? Or was it step-father? But, who knows. I bet Zalder's first word is gonna be momma or something like that, due to the fact that Father's barely around and Zalder is also Father's child too. 

"Hey Slender?" I said. I wanna know.

"Yeah?" he said yawning. Zalder was fast asleep. 

"Are you my step-father or what?" I asked. Saying step-mother feels weird.

"Step-father," He said yawning again. Damn, I guess he did wake up at five something. He keeps yawning so much.

"Oh okay," I said and went to Glitches room. 

"Hey Glitch, is it alright if I join you guys?" I asked. She just sat and it looked like they were watching The Boy.

"Yeah I wouldn't mind," she said. I smiled and sat down. BEN, Silver, and Red were laying down. They had a huge bowl of popcorn in the middle, a huge blanket and the lights were off. Talk about wanting to get spooked big time. This is all I need to get scared. A scary movie and the lights of at the same time. 

"Hey, Elle?" Slender said. I looked at him.

"Yeah?" I asked him. 

"Can you watch Zalder, your father needs me," He asked.

"Oh of course!" I said getting up and grabbing Zalder. He laughed and sneezed. I sat down and sighed. This is gonna be awhile...
