Okay so I finally got BEN outta my computer!

GIRL POV

"Argh…My head…It hurts. The Throbbing…pain…please, make it stop!" I thought sitting up, I was alive? They had spared me? Why? To torture me even more? My jaw felt as though it had been wired shut, reaching up I could feel the sting from the flaps in my cheeks and there was a wire running through my mouth. What had they done to me? I looked around "Seventh street," all four road signs at the intersection read. "Could they be more original?" I wondered, standing up. My head felt like it had exploded and now the aftermath was having a party, I stumbled towards the sidewalk and pressed my hands to the glass of the nearest store. Was anyone here? I pressed my forehead to the glass, no one…nothing? I leaned back enough for my reflection to focus, I looked as though I had been through Hell and back, my cheeks were hallow, dark circles ran under my eyes. My hair stuck out at odd angles, my skin was filthy and I hadn't eaten a proper meal in what looked like months. But what shocked me the most, was what they did to my mouth. They must have known my jaw was broken, otherwise why would they have done this? A metal wire ran in and out as though they had sewn my mouth up with barb wire, I gingerly lifted a finger-"Ow! That's cause they DID sew my mouth up with barb wire," I could have cried if my entire face wasn't numb. I couldn't feel a thing, I don't know if that scared me more, I focused on my reflection again when I noticed movement. I backed away as Shy Girl approached the window, I wanted to scream at her but they had sewn my lips shut. Damn them.

She was holding something up…didn't she want to kill me? I cautiously scooted forward on my unstable feet. "Please, stop running. Stop fighting." she held up the paper, with neat hand writing on the bleach white page.

I shook my head, I had to. I had to survive. Shy Girl only looked at me, the moon was hitting the window just right…could I see her eyes? Her REAL eyes? They looked sad, she flipped the paper over, "We need you to…in order to stay together." What the heck does that mean? Why do they have to kill me to stay together?! What is life!? When I focused back on her she had begun to turn away, I slammed my fist into the window making her turn back-too calmly I wanted to strangle her-I glared at her, trying to say that I would never let them get me. She only nodded, seemingly understanding my unclear message, then she pulled her scepter out of its holder, as if challenging me.

Bitch.

She threw it over her shoulder tauntingly and walked back into the shadows. I pounded on the window till I was sure I'd bruise my fist.

Fine.

They want to kill me?

They'd have to catch me.

"Why doesn't she just die?" Jeff asked, pacing in one of the buildings, "I mean…that accident should have killed her. Not cool."

Masky was laying bored on the floor, he shrugged.

Shy Girl was practicing fighting by attacking the wall with her scepter, she stopped and looked at Jeff, then walking through the space (which was probably some boring office job building). She came back with a pen and a piece of paper, she scribbled something down and handed it to Jeff, "What?" he asked after reading it, Masky looked up curiously, "Zalgo? I mean he hates us but-" Jeff paused looking at Shy Girl as if in silent conversation, "It's possible…think we should tell Slenderman?" Shy Girl shook her head and then walked over to the wall that was ceiling to floor windows.

"That's more like it," Jeff's eternal smile widened if possible, holding his knife in a vise like grip.

"Pages, why pages?" She thought bitterly, frowning as she stuffed the fourth blood stained page in her pocket, both pockets were bursting with the pages that started all this, the key, and the new pages. "Why not…I dunno…just anything other then pages…what is with these people and wasting paper?" she sighed and kicked a bit of loose rubble, heading out from the alley onto the street. She turned and saw the overturned bus, she frowned thinking of all the people she killed. She looked around, thinking of which street or alley she might have been down, unable to find her bearings she just headed straight down another alley. "And what about THEM, what did that girl mean?" She'd have to die just so they could stay together? "And do what? Kill more people? Sorry, a couple of friends misfortune is not my problem. I'd like to live thank you very much." she thought, looking around she realized she had already been down this alley. "Damn." Turning she headed back out on the streets only for the masked pair stepped in her way.

"Look, we're just gunna have to ask you to die." a voice said behind her.

"The same one screaming "go to sleep" at the asylum." her mind thrust the memory forward, what was with these freaks?! She would have asked what their problem was but her jaw had been wired shut, she glared at the girl who had her scepter still thrown over her shoulder.

"Go to sleep." the boy whispered in her ear before something sharp plunged into the back of her skull. She didn't even register the ground greeting her head as she was pushed forward.

"Sleep sounds nice." she thought, closing her eyes.

"Well." Jeff said, cleaning off his knife on his white sweatshirt, "That is finally done and over with." Masky still held his hands in his pockets, "Oh come on, how are we supposed to learn? Besides he should be proud-no not that we broke rules-okay screw you too. Besides it was Shy Girl's idea." Jeff pointed accusingly at the red haired girl who shrugged.

"Come on." Jeff said, "We should go tell Slender." the three students ran in the small town looking for their teacher, finally finding him outside the walls surrounding the city. "Slender?"

Slenderman's pale face was turned upward, and though he had nothing on his face to show otherwise, he looked as though he were in a trance, "We have our next victim." his static voice reached their ears.

"What?" Jeff complained, "Another already?"

"You will have to go as humans again," Slenderman said, picking his students up with his tendrils.

"I think I like it better as a human," Jeff said, blinking his eyes after what felt like forever.

"Why?" His red haired companion asked softly.

"Because you and Masky can actually talk." Jeff laughed.

"It's not like you couldn't understand us before." Masky protested, the four sat in a hotel room, Shy Girl, Jeff, and Masky pretending to be part of a group of high school students out on a school trip that got lost. The woman at the desk quickly gave them a key free of charge (provided they gave her a school name so she could send a bill to the school). Then they opened the window and allowed Slenderman to climb inside the third story room.

"Silence." Slenderman said, standing in a corner, the TV had been turned on so people couldn't hear them, but due to Slenderman being who he is, static overtook the screen (making Jeff protest). His students quickly closed their mouths, he had to think. They had their kill (or rather Jeff had). But it wasn't the way Mr. CP wanted his killers to behave. They were supposed to stalk their prey, drive them insane. Jeff just dove straight for the kill. It was that behavior that would get them separated, he glanced at his students, Jeff harassing Shy Girl till she fell back on the disgusting hotel bed and kicked Jeff in the face, Masky watching and eventually helping Jeff up after his giggle fit. Slenderman saw them as they were, but if they couldn't get it together-Slenderman shook his head, he didn't want to see his students tortured; Jeff beaten till he's a cold bloodied killing machine (not that Slenderman didn't want that, but after years of doing the same thing you do need a little bit of fun), Shy Girl tortured till she screamed and did as she was told (He repressed a shudder, remembering how carefree Eyeless Jack used to be till Zalgo got hold of him), and then Masky, senselessly beaten till he picked up a weapon and used it. No Slenderman could not allow it, these were after all just kids, they had only been killing for a year on their own before Mr. CP found them and gave them to Slenderman (and don't even get him started on how long it took for him to teach them how to use their human illusions).

Slenderman stayed silent, his head tilted down ever so slightly.
