The moon was high in the sky as the air was crisp and refreshing as it hit my skin. I was out taking my nightly stroll through the woods. Of course, these woods are new to me because I had just recently moved to the city. I have yet to figure out what it was called but at the moment I could really care less. I was just enjoying myself being surrounded by trees. But, as I ventured further into the woods, fog has begun to form and was growing thicker the more I went into the woods. I would usually shrug it off since it is October. In fact, it's Halloween, so I expected this to happen. But, I could swear I was hearing a different set of feet behind me. I would stop every now and then to see if anyone was following me, but when I do, there's no one there.
"Right, I'm starting to become paranoid again." I said as I kept walking.
"Fresh meat…." I heard a voice whispering as if it was talking to someone else.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard that and then heard a giggle soon after. I put my finger in my ear to clean it out to see if I was hearing things, but to my fear, I could still hear whispering.
"Think he's new to the town?" Another voice asked.
"Probably, we should notify Slenda about him." The first voice replied.
Hearing that I instantly spun at my heel and began walking back quickly. But before I could go any further, two girls, who I assumed were behind the whispering, jumped down in front of me. The one my right has long black hair that reached down over her shoulders, her mouth was cut into a smile and here eyes looked as if she had no eyelids. She was wearing a white hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans. In her hand was a knife that looked like it belonged in the kitchen. The one on the left had long brown hair, a clock for one eye. It looks like she's wearing a white tank top with blue jeans.
"Where do you think you're going?" The girl on the right asked.
"Uh, well I decided that I stayed in the woods for long enough and started to head home." I said gulping.
"Are you scared that something bad might happen~?" The one on the left asked as she tilted her head side to side.
"No, just need to head home to get something to eat." I replied, trying to stay calm.
These girls, especially the one on the left looks like the Creepypasta characters.
"What's your name kid?" The black-haired girl asked.
"Jimmy." I replied,
"Tell us Jimmy, have you heard of Creepypasta?" The clock-eyed girl asked.
"Yeah, I read them when I'm able to." I replied.
"Ah, so you're familiar with Slenderwoman then." The black-haired girl said as she began to walking towards me.
"The female version of Slenderman?" I asked as I began backing up.
"Well, yes but she controls the female house." She replied, "Can you guess who I am?"
"By your get up, I want to say Jess the Killer." I replied.
"Oh, you're smarter than I thought" Jess coed.
"Yeah, but is he smart enough to know that encountering us can mean death?" The other girl asked.
"I'm guessing your clockwork." I said looking at her.
"Yup~" She said as she went behind me. "So, are you smart enough to run?"
"Always wanted to meet you guys but not like this…. BYE!" I shouted as I began running pushing Jess out of the way.
My heart was racing as I ran. Not from the running though. From fear. I mean what the fuck is going on!? I thought they were fake. But here they are, chasing after me to kill me. I just need it to make it back to town and I should be safe.
"OH HEYA SLENDA!" Jess shouted.
My heart sank when those words came out of Jess's mouth. I turned around to see that Jess and Clockwork were hot on my tail. But when I turned around I ran into something knocking me on the ass. I looked up and there I saw her. A tall woman, with, I must say, amazing curves. There was now face on her head but here hair was long, black and wavy. My eyes widen as my body began to shake. Meeting her I know that my life is over.
She looked down at me and then back at Jess and Clockwork and shook her head.
"Jess, Nat, what did I say about scaring innocence, even the new ones?" Slender Woman asked.
"Not to." Jess replied softly.
"But we were bored." Clockwork argued, "There's nothing to do back at the mansion."
I was confused as Slenderwoman, Clockwork, and Jess were arguing.
"Am… I missing something?" I asked confused.
Slenderwoman looked at me and nodded.
"As you may have known, we are supernatural killers who no one knows exists." She explained, "We monitor the human world and decide on who to kill and who not to kill. There are times we also kill for fun but that happens rarely."
"So, you're not… never mind I know that you guys exist so ye…" I said.
"Or you can move in with us." Slenderwoman interrupted
Everyone looked at her wide eyed.
"What!?" Jess asked annoyed.
"Is there an issue Jess?" Slenderwoman asked.
"Yes, there is!" Jess shouted at Slenderwoman, "I have been itching to kill someone and when a new kid comes by you invite him to stay with us!"
"I think it will be good for us to know what it's like to be around a human." Slenderwoman said then turned to Clockwork, "Do you have any problem with it?"
"No, plus he's kind of cute." She said winking.
I blushed slightly when she said this. Slenderwoman then turned towards me.
"Well, how about it?" She asked.
"Sure." I said, "I think I'll take the chances living with you guys than living in the afterlife."
"Wise decision" SlenderWoman says. "I'm guessing that you already know who I am."
"Yeah, Slenderwoman, the female counterpart to Slenderman." I said.
"Correct, but you can call me Slenda since you'll be living with us." She said.
"And you can call me Natalie." Clockwork said smiling as she put her dagger away.
Jess just huffed and smiled slightly.
"Sorry about that, I can get out of control sometimes." She said, "No hard feelings?"
"Yeah." I said smiling.
"Well, I suggest we get going, these parts of the woods aren't in our jurisdiction during this time of night." Slenda said.
I wanted to ask what she had meant but I just left it as she grabbed all of us and teleported us. It honestly felt weird. I looked around and saw a big mansion that looked like it was made in the 1800's. I was astonished at the sight.
"Wow." was all I could say as I stared at the house.
"What, thought it would be an apartment complex?" Jess asked.
"No, just looks amazing." I replied. "Who designed it?"
"I did." Slenda replied. "Thanks."
I nodded as we head in with me being the first to enter. As soon as I entered, an axe was thrown at me hitting the wall inches away from my head. I froze right there and began shaking.
'What the fuck!?' I mentally shouted as I looked around for the culprit who threw the axe.
When I found the Culprit, I saw a girl with yellow tint goggles and a mask that looked like it has teeth.
"W-w-what is a-a h-h-human doing here?" The girl asked glaring at me.
"Tami, I'd like for you to meet our newest house member, Jimmy." Slenda said as she came in from behind me.
"Wait what?" The girl known as Tami asked confused.
"You can blame Jess and Natalie for this." She replied, "They decided to have some fun."
"Okay…. Well sorry about that." Tami said as she came and grabbed her axe. "Just wasn't expecting any newcomers. Especially those that are human."
"It's okay, you're doing your job so I can't hold a grudge against you for that." I said finally snapping out. "But you did scare the living shit out of me."
"Y-yeah, I-it was f-funny." She said giggling slightly.
"BENNY GIVE ME MY LIVER YOU FUCKING LINK REJECT!" I heard a voice shout in the distances as a girl in a green dress with a green cap was running towards us.
"Here hold this." The green hat girl said handing me what was in her hand and ran off.
I blinked a few times trying to figure out what just happened as I looked at what that girl had given me.
"I would put that down if I were you." Slenda suggested.
"To late…" Jess said pointing at a girl with a blue mask on her head but not covering her face.
I looked at her and followed her gaze to the thing that was in my hand and then back at her and saw that she was in my face.
"Give…. Me… my… food…" She demanded.
Not wanting to get on her bad side, I nodded and handed her the thing in my hand. She snatched it and began walking away.
"You're no fun." The green capped girl said as she came out of hiding. "Wait…. Are you new?"
"Y-yeah, names Jimmy." I replied.
"I'm Benny." She said smiling.
"Benny, can you grab the others and tell them to meet us in the living room?" Slenda asked.
"Sure, thing Slenda!" Benny shouted as she ran upstairs. "WAKE UP EVERYONE THE BIG LADY IS BACK AND SHE WANTS TO TALK TO EVERYONE!"
"BENNY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Another voice shouted.
"But there's someone new Jane." Benny replied.
As if on cue, all the doors had sung open at the same time and footsteps could be heard running down the stairs.
"This should be interesting." Natalie said, "Come one, you can sit next to me."
I nodded and followed her to the living room and sat down on the couch next to her. Not long after, everyone that's in the house entered the room. I shrunk in my seat as eyes scanned over me.
'I'm in a house full of people who I thought were fictional characters.' I thought trying to calm myself down, 'What could go wrong?'
"Why is there a human in here?" A girl with short blonde hair in a white dress asked looking at me with her pitch-black eyes.
"Well Angel, thanks to Jess and Nat, he will be living here from now on." Slenda replied, "There are some ground rules to be set with him here."
"Which are?" The girl with the blue mask asked.
"No one shall harm him in anyway without reason." Slenda explained, "If he gets hurt because of you girls for no reason, there will be punishments. Jimmy."
"Y-yes ma'am?" I asked looking at her.
"If you do anything to piss any of these girls off, they have a right to harm you, if not kill you." She replied, "You do not leave this house without an escort and permission. Only exception is if one, the house is on fire, two, we're under attack, or we ask you to come out with us with in reason. Since you are living here, you have to pull your own weight, may it be cleaning, cooking, or house sitting."
"What if he's home by himself and we are under attack?" A girl with Raven black hair similar to Jess's but her eyes are completely black asked.
"Once or twice a week, he will be sent training with one up to three of us." Slenda replied, "But, I will find a way for him to contact us since we can't connect mentally since he's not a proxy at the moment. He has to prove his worth to become one."
"Fair enough." I said looking at her.
"Now since rules are over let's get to introductions." Slenda then said, "He already had met Tami, Benny, Jess, Nat and got a shot introduction to Jackie so we will start with her after he introduces himself."
"Very well, Names James Lawhorn, but I'd like to be called Jimmy." I said looking at everyone, "I used to live by myself in a small apartment complex near the woods. I'm seventeen and a sophomore in high school. I like to read, write, draw, watch anime and play games."
"Names Eyeless Jackie, but you can call me Jackie," Jackie said smiling, "Rule one when it comes to me is never touch my kidneys. Yeah, I can survive without it but when I'm in my kicks for some Kidnets you either a. Make sure there's a kidney in the fridge, or b, make sure you hide so I won't take yours."
"Is that why you were chasing Benny around?" I asked looking at her.
"Yeah, sorry that you got dragged into that." She said smiling.
"I'm Jane." The raven-haired girl said smiling at me, "Don't let my looks fool you, I can be deadly. I look forward to living with you."
"Likewise." I said smiling back.
"My name's Angel if you haven't guessed by now," The blond short hair girl said giving me a stern look, "Never touch my sword or you will be through on hell of a shocking experience."
"Duly noted." I said as I looked to the next person.
"I'm the nurse of the house." she said through her mask, "I'm Ann."
"Let's hope I don't have to see you regularly." I half joked.
"Trust me, you will." She said smiling through her mask which made me uneasy.
"I'm Laughing Jill, like Benny, I to love to pull pranks so you better watch your back~" She coed.
"Oh joy." I said as I looked around once more "Is that everyone?"
"There's Sally but she's sleeping at the moment." Slenda replied, "there are more who are on missions but I'm sure you'll meet them soon."
"Let's just hope someone's home when they do come back." Benny said, "Wouldn't a misunderstanding to happen."
"Where will he be sleeping?" Jane asked.
"There's a room next to Jess's and across from Jill's room." Slenda replied, "Will you show him to it Jess?"
Jess nodded and got up. I got up and followed her to the room. When we got there, Jess showed me my room before entering hers and slamming the door shut.
'I wonder what got her in a pissy mood.' I thought as I entered my room.
In my room, there was a twin sized bed with black covers on it. One window but was big enough to act like two windows, a walk-in closet and a dresser.
"Wow, she went all out when making the mansion." I said as I sat on my bed. "Wait, I have no clothes."
"Don't worry, I have sent Laughing Jill there to get your stuff." Slenda said as she entered the room, "So, what you think so far."
"Of the house or of the family?" I asked looking at her.
"Both." She replied.
"Well, for being a bunch of psychopathic killers, you are all nice." I said as I looked up towards the ceiling. "You invited me here, not caring about what my background is, not caring if I was pathetic or a wimp. You offered me to live with you guys instead of killing me and I am truly grateful for that. But, why?"
"Why did I take you in, well because these girls seem to have lost their touch to their human selves that they once had long ago." She explained, "admit ably, I have as well. I figured having a human live here will help them remember what it was like to be human so they won't go around mercilessly killing innocents like Zalga's Proxies do."
"Wait how many proxy houses are there?" I asked looking at her.
"Well, there's my brothers, Slendermans house, who you will meet in the next day or two along with my other brothers." She explained, "They're the male counterparts of this household. Then there's Zalgas and Zalgos house. They both don't care if you want to become a proxy or not, they will turn you into one forcefully, taking away your free will."
"I'm guessing that Zalgas and Zalgos are the ones I have to stay away from?" I asked looking at her.
"Correct, we are at a war with them." She replied, "I'm hoping that we don't lose any of our proxies to them."
"Wait, they're able to take your proxies as well?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes. There use to be so much more than there is now." She said looking down.
I could tell that she's upset, but I never knew that she was vulnerable enough to cry in front of someone she just had met. I knew that if she had eyes, she would be shedding tears right now. I got up and gently wrapped my arms around her. She was a lot taller than I was so it was awkward for me to hug her. She tensed up slightly when I did so.
"I'm sorry this has happened to you," I said softly, "I know what it's like to lose family members."
She seemed to relax into the hug and began hugging back pulling me closer.
"If there's anything I can do for you let me know alright, I'm here." I said as I pulled away.
"Thanks. Well it's getting late you should get some rest." Slenda said as he lent down and, from what it felt like, gave me a small kiss on the cheek before leaving.
I stood there dumbfounded on what just happened. One of the strongest Creepypasta had shown her soft side in front of me and caught me off guard with that kiss on the cheek. I shook my head as I looked where my bed is, making a quick route there before I turned off the light.
"Today is the start of a very interesting chapter of my life." I said quietly as I dozed of into sleep awaiting for the next day.
