I was now outside on the porch. Watching nature how 'exciting' right? But I have to admit it's peaceful. Stepping down the stairs I walk into the grass and go towards a tree. There I place my hand on it rough bark. A smile forms on my lips unconsciously while I turn my gaze to my right and notice a fawn.

Quietly I begin to slowing follow it, wondering where it's going. Suddenly it turns to look at me when I step on a twig.

"Crap..." I mumbled to myself due to my stupidness. The fawn then hops away to where I guess is it's kind is but I won't be able to see them since it disappeared from my vision.

Right when I was about to say something else I feel a hand clasp onto my lips. I let out a small scream surprised but it's just muffled by the hand.

"Shh." I hear someone say to my ear. My eyes widen as I feel something sharp on my skin. Looking down I notice it was a scalpel and that's when I knew who it was.... Eyeless jack.

"I'm truly am sorry Meg but you're just too irresistible. I can't stand being in a place with a human and not being able to have a taste." EJ says to me in a sincere but creepy way. His scalpel then begins to slice into my skin. Blood falls from the area he was cutting into and that's when I screamed. His hand lets go of my mouth and now allows the scream to be free.

"Shut it!" He roars as he uses his hand to push my head against the tree. Wincing in pain I release a small groan. My vision becomes blurry as another trail of blood begins to stream but this time it was from my face. With my free hand I slowly guide it to my cheek, feeling the wet substance. Glancing at my hand I notice it covered in blood and that was the last thing I saw.

~~~~~~Later that day~~~~~~

"Mmm..." I groan lowly as I slightly move but quickly stop when I feel a sharp pain. Slowly opening my eyes I carefully sit up, lifting slighting my shirt and stare at a now stitched up wound. What happened..? I thought while rubbing the back of my neck. Soon I remembered what happened and felt my stomach turn.

One moment he was so nice to me then the next...he cut me to get my kidneys... I guess that's just what killers do. I wonder if he got what he wanted. Looking up I notice I was in my room and by my room I mean the room that was assigned for me at the slender mansion. My room door slowly opens, revealing Jeff walking in with a plate of macaroni and cheese and a drink.

"Finally awake?" He asks me with a small smile as he closes the door behind him with his foot. Jeff then walks towards me and sets the plate of food and my drink on my drawer.

"Jeff did he..?"I began to ask but before I can finish he cuts me off with his own words.

"No, I didn't allow him to go any further. When I found you I....I...." Jeff's hands clench into fists. His expression darkens as he looks down at the hardwood floor, hanging his head as if he were going through pain... through anger... Does he care about...me? I couldn't help but wonder as I observed his actions.

"Jeff..." I softly call out his name as I shift myself on the edge of the bed trying to get up but wince slightly at the pain I was feeling.

"Don't move, you'll hurt yourself even more." Jeff walks to my side and places his hand on my shoulder. I look up at him and stay silent. What could I say to him? He was acting weird but I didn't mind it. In fact I think I might've liked it. He doesn't usually show this side of him and I wanted to see more.

Jeff grabs the plate of food and hands it to me. I quietly begin to eat but can't help but feel uncomfortable with him watching me. I suppose he then understood how I felt because he walked off to my room balcony. I finish eating and slowly stand up on my feet. Walking towards my drawer I grab my soda can and take a sip of it.

"What are you doing up?" Jeff asks as he walks into my room.

"I'll be fine, don't worry so much." I say to him before taking another sip of my drink. He takes a step towards me and pokes my forehead once while chuckling.

"Me? Worry? Funny." He says in a sarcastic tone while looking at me.

"Then if you weren't worried why did you not want me to hurt myself more than I already was?"I asked with an eyebrow raise.

"I just want you to heal quickly so I won't hear any of your whining." He replies only earning himself a glare from me.

"And you saved me why?" I ask one last question to see how he would react.

"I didn't feel like being told how irresponsible I was by everyone in the mansion." He says defensively while sitting on my bed.

"Hm... How are you feeling?" I ask him while looking at feet, not really wanting to make eye contact with him. I felt embarrassed of asking. It's not like I cared if he was hurt or not...or did I?

"Huh?" He said with a confused look.

"I'm just asking if you're hurt." I state the obvious to clear it out for him.

"Worried sweetheart?" Jeff says to me in a cocky tone as he smirks.

"Of course not, I'm simply curious who put up a better fight." I replied defensively while crossing my arms over my chest and looking away from him. Am I worried..? I asked myself.

"Well for your information I won without a scratch." He says to me, confidence ringing in his tone.

"Hm..." I hum lowly so only I could hear it as I look down, hiding a small smile on my lips. Slowly turning on my heal I now start walking towards my room door.

"Where are you going?"I hear Jeff's voice ask, causing me to stop at my tracks.

"To see Ej and check if he's alright." I answer his question while keeping my eyes on the door.

"Why? After what he did to you. How can you possibly care about his well being?" Jeff asks another question this time stepping towards me. His footsteps following my path.

"I understand it's tuff for him, I understand it's tuff for everyone having me here so I don't blame him for what he did." I respond in a soft tone. It was the truth. I was their against my will but it is kinda my fault in some twisted way that it.

"He could've killed you!" He roars as his hand places itself on my shoulder, turning me to face him. His eyes were filled with rage but it wasn't the same type of rage he had the other days, no this sight was different.

"I know but I have you to save me." I calmly say as I give him a reassuring smile, hoping he'd calm down. I didn't feel like arguing. My stitched up wound ached but still I felt...happy and calm inside. Why? I had no idea.

"How can you take this all so lightly!?" Jeff yells as he gently shakes me, not wanting to hurt me more then I already was. Glancing up at him and looking into his eyes once more I finally noticed what it was. It was pain...fear... Why were those emotions showing in his eyes? I had no idea but they were there.

"Jeff..." I call out his name softly with a smile still on my lips. Slowly pushing his hands off of my shoulder I don't keep him out of my sight.

"...?" He answers me with silence.

"Thank you." I thank him before I did the unexpected...I planted a small peck on his left cheek. I kissed him...I actually kissed him... Pulling away my lips from his pale skin I look at his expression.

"..." He stayed silent, shock clearly on his face but he wasn't the only one shocked. I too was shocked by my own actions. Keeping my cool I open the room door and exit my room. Closing it behind me I walk down the halls and make my way to the living room.

When I'm downstairs I see Sally hugging Slender man's right leg, Ben and Dark playing ps4 and Jane using a laptop. I walk towards the bunch and start my search for Ej.

"Hey has anyone seen Ej?" I ask them all as I stop walking.

"My dear child you've recovered quite quickly." Slender man says to me, dodging my question while turning to look at me.

"Yeah well I have Jeff to thank for that." I admit while rubbing my left arm with my right hand.

"Indeed you do, I've already marked Eyeless Jack's first strike on the board. I'm am thrilled to see that you're well." Slender man says in an honest tone, too honest if I made add. Suddenly a scoff could be heard in the room and that scoff belonged to none other than Jane the killer. She sat up straight with her fingers interlocking each other as she looked up at us with a devilish expression playing on her lips.

"Lies, you know the only thrill you feel is for the first move Jack made, you're probably itching to see who makes their move next. Am I right?" She says in a confident tone, unmasking his true desires as she licked her lips in pleasure.

"Well that truly was interesting but it wasn't a thrill to know she was hurt." Slender man clears his throat when he finishes speaking then turns his gaze towards Sally as he pets her head.

"Mhm." Jane replies Sarcastically as she rolls her eyes at his comment. Her eyes then focus on me and she gives me a soft smile before she mouths the words "Be careful".

Is that a warning..? I knew from the start that I had to be careful here but did she care for my safety or was it all an act? God...I feel paranoid now. I quietly thought to myself as I gave her a nod in response, hoping her intentions are pure but who am I kidding? You can't expect that from a killer. Can you?

"Well...uhh...I'm gonna go look for Ej." I say as I turn around and search for him. I searched and searched but no Ej. Everyone I searched he was no where to be found. A thought soon crossed my mind... Did Jeff kill him..? I got lost in my thoughts not knowing the truth. I felt as if a piece of my sanity was disappearing thanks to the situation I'm in. It isn't normal for does thoughts to pop up as if it were something that occurred on a daily bases. Killing... It wasn't right but it was something normal in this mansion. Was the slender mansion getting to me?

Checking upstairs I wasn't sure which room was Ej's so I decide to ask for help again but this time from someone that can probably help. Arriving to my destination I begin to knock on the door. It soon opens revealing just the person I wanted to talk to...Masky.

"Hello there, doing better I see." He says to me in a kind tone as he gestures with his right hand for me to come in.

"Yeah it wasn't a severe or fatal injury so I guess I'll be alright." I say to him as I enter his room.

"So what brings you here?" He asks me while he closes his room door.

"I wanted to ask you if you knew where Ej was. I'd like to check up on him." I plainly say as I look at him.

"Hah...how foolish are you?" He says as he slowly face palms himself.

"Excuse me?" I ask him, feeling a bit irritated because he called me foolish.

"How can you worry about the well being of someone who hurt you?" He questions me as he looks up, staring at me with confusion.

"It is my fault." I admit to him while glancing down.

"How so?" Masky asks as he starts taking steps towards me.

"I put myself in his shoes in all of your shoes...and I know it probably isn't easy for you all having me here and not being able to do anything. I don't blame him." I say to him lowly in all honesty. The closer he steps towards me the more nervous I get. How couldn't I? It was just him and me... alone in his room. With the door closed! He could attack me.

"Listen love it doesn't matter how irresistible you are because we all must resist. Although I may admit it is hard... But we still need self control." Masky says in an alluring tone as he continues to walk towards me. I slowly take a couple steps back while I keep my gaze down, nervous to look at him.

"You are a sheep in the den of wolves but you're protected by a wolf because you're special. No, not just one wolf but two wolves are here for you." He says to me as he keeps coming closer to me. Soon enough I could no longer take any steps back. My steps stopped at the touch of the edge of the bed.

"..." Silence was the only way I could respond to what he was saying. For some reason I decided to look up at him. His light green eyes stare into mine, my knees give up on me, causing me to fall into his bed but that didn't stop him from getting closer to me.

"You mustn't just rely on those two wolves. Remember there are other wolves watching and ready to take a bite. It'd be a waste to lose a pretty little face like yours... " He says as he leans down towards me, placing his hand on my cheek, cupping it in a sweet and gentle way.

"Y-You're point is..?" My question was interrupted by my stuttering . I tried to contain my nervousness but by now I knew my cheeks were covered by a scarlet red.

"My point is you must be strong, cautious and smart to outwit the other wolves. Stick with you're two allies and I promise you won't get hurt." His voice softly gets closer and closer, tickling my skin his warm, fresh breath. His lips lowly make their way to mine, they were only inches away from each other when suddenly he pulled away, leaving me dumbfounded.

"But who are the two wolves protecting me..?" I ask trying to not ignore what just happened and not make this any more awkward then it already was.

"I guess you'll have to figure that out on you're own, now don't you?" He says to me while leaning away and combing his  brown hair away from his eyes.

"Well thanks for giving me the answers I needed." I say to him sarcastically as I get up and start making my way towards his room door.

"Meghan..." I hear him call my name.

"Yeah?" I reply before opening the door, curious to what he has to say.

"Never mind..." He says while looking down at the floor and rubbing his neck.

"Okay..?" I say as I open the door and exit his room, going back to my search for Ej. Walking down the hall I finally found him and rush over to him.

"Hey Ej!" I yell while running to him, I ignore the pain I feel in my wound and smile the kindest smile I can.

"Uh...hey...I'm sorry for what I did earlier..." He apologizes to me while looking away, feeling ashamed. I couldn't see his face expression because of his mask but he seemed sincere.

"It's alright, don't worry about it. How are you? Are you hurt?" I ask him with a smile still on my lips.

"Huh? I-I'm okay but your were-.." He almost finishes his surprised tone sentence but I swiftly cut him off.

"It's fine, I'm doing alright, I'm just glad you're not hurt." I let out a small laugh just to clear up the blue in this area.

"How can you be so nice to me after I did what I did?" He questions Rudy confusion now replacing the surprised tone he had before.

"I just can, okay? I'm not holding any grudges I understand the situation and its okay." I answer his question and try to reassure him that everything is okay.

"How's Jeff?" He asks me which makes me grow confused.

"What do you mean?" I ask curiously.

"Well Jeff got some cuts on me and I got some on him." He stares.

"What? No...that can't be..." I say lowly as I remember what he told me before. He said he was alright, that he didn't get a single scratch. He lied but why? I didn't understand.

"I mean Sally patched me up but he refused her help so I don't know how he's doing." Ej says to me in a sincere way.

"I see... Hey did Sally patch me up too? If so I should go thank her." I ask him. I wanted to thank who ever did that for me, it was really kind.

"No, actually Jeff did."  He answers my question, causing my eyes to widen.

"He did..?" I ask under my breath.

"Didn't he tell you? After we fought he rushed up here and locked himself in your room with you. He stitched you up  I'm guessing but refused to see anyone else. He was furious." I felt shock of what he told me. Jeff really did have a soft side, he worried about me but tried to keep his careless attitude to hide it.

Is that why he didn't leave my room earlier when I left? I thought to myself.
