(- The next day-) 

Stripes POV

I quietly approached the mansion. It was 3:13 a.m in the morning and my father had already sent me on a mission. I sighed and looked at the house. It was really huge. 

"Oh well, better just get this done with," I said quietly said to myself, and ran behind the house. Rodger and Alex were gonna be here later to help, but for now it was just me. I crept over to a window and looked inside. Inside was that girl Lulu that father use to mess with, Lazari, and little Soren. 

"Gotcha.... I guess," I whispered to myself. When Rake found what he was looking for, he would always say 'Gotcha'. And he still does. He would usually find what we were looking for first, but I wouldn't get jealous since I always helped gather people. But this time it's just me. He's getting a break.

"Elle-" said someone, as they touched my shoulder. I turned to see Alex and Rodger. Rodger was backed up a little since he knew what was gonna happen. 

"Well, you guys came fast," I commented. Alex rolled his eyes and gave me that 'I just called you Elle' look.

"Also, don't call me Elle. It's Stripes," I said. Alex shrugged and glanced at Soren through the window.

"That's Soren?" He asked me. I nodded and rolled my eyes. He rolled his eyes back and looked back at Soren. 

"Looks like he just experienced hell for the first time," Alex snickered. I eyeballed him. God he was so annoying, why did father have to pick him. Not gonna lie I'd rather be working with Rake again. He's like a brother to me. 

"Guys... are you sure everyone is asleep?" Rodger asked quietly. Me and Alex looked at each other and then at Rodger.

"Yeah, but when someone wakes up we'll just go in the trees," Alex said. What the hell? I didn't say that.

"No were not, Alex. Were gonna go back to the base," I said, eyeballing him hard. Ugh, this is gonna be awhile...

(-5:01 a.m-)

Lazari's POV

I yawned as I woke up. I woke up first again. That's nice. I hopped out of bed and opened my closet door. I didn't bother turning on the light and picking an outfit today, so I just randomly picked something. A yellow crop-top, torn jeans, and black hoodie. Not my style, it'll have to work. I took off my bedtime clothes and put on the clothes I picked out. I finished and walked out into the living room, not bothering to wake Lulu and Soren up. I sat on the left side couch, and grabbed the remote. 

"Laz? What are you doing up?" I look over to see Slendyman up. He looked tired as hell. 

"I don't know? I woke up early?" I said awkwardly. 

"It's 5:10 a.m in the morning," he noted as he yawned. I looked at the clock on the stove in the kitchen. Oh shit, it is 5:10.  

"I didn't know?" I said, smiling weirdly. 

" Can you go back to bed? You just went through something horrible," He said, yawning again. Man, who woke him up? His boyfriend? 

"Soren and Jeff were the ones badly hurt, not me. I'm fine," I said smiling. He sighed and opened his bedroom door. 

"Well, if I'm not up, when Surrender gets here, let him in, okay?" He reminded me. I gave him a thumbs up and turned on Scream 3 on the TV. 

1 hour later...

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe they killed Randy in Scream 2. He was my favorite! And now Cotton? This is not okay." I said as I was half way through the movie. 

Knock Knock

Oh that must be Surrender. I paused the movie and got up to open the door. And like I thought at the door was Surrender and Trender waving bye behind him. 

"Come on in, everyone is still asleep so keep it down," I told him as he walked and I shut the door. I walked back to the couch and unpaused the movie. 

"Scream 3?" Surrender asked me. I nodded my head.

"Yep, you can watch if you want," I told him. He hesitated and sat down. 

" You watch the Scream movies?" I asked him, because he was here and I wanted to talk. He shook his head no.

"I've only heard of them, but I haven't watched them," He explained. I didn't blame him, they would scare him. They scared me. I twirled my hair as I watched Sidney and Roman fight in the movie. I liked this. Sidney was my second favorite character in the Scream movies. 

"What is all that noise?" someone complained. I turned to see Slendyman again, but he didn't look that tired now. 

"Oh, sorry, It's the movie," I apologized and then realized Surrender was here. 

"Oh, also Surrenders here," I said and I went back to watch the movie. I glanced over to see Surrender waving and yawning. Did he not sleep? Dang...

"Hey Stevie," replied Slendyman as he sat down on the recliner. He just closed his eyes not even bothering to notice the movie. Well, his loss. He should totally watch the Scream movies. 

"Good Morning," Jeff yawned as he entered the room and plopped down on the couch besides Surrender. Smile dog jumped beside him. 

"Scream 3?" Jeff asked. I nodded. He just shrugged and watched it. I decided to get up and get myself a cookie since Masky wasn't up. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the jar. I looked out the window. Nice trees- Wait. I looked again. Someone was there with two guys. They ran into the forest and the girl followed. 

Wait... was that...

Elle?

OKAY I just wanted to explain something... The asylum part is gonna help ya'll understand what's gonna happen later on in this story! Just wanted to say! Also should I add ships? Just outta the curiosity. And also Mary and Jane are married. Sally has a crush on Soren. And Jeff is kinda falling for EJ? But yeah that's all
