Chapter 27
Masky was lying on the bed in the room he was given at ZALGO's palace, reading a book he had found on the bookshelf in said room. He had nestled himself under the soft comforter, loving how comfortable his bed was. It was so comfortable in fact, that he almost considered staying there instead of going back to Slender's mansion. He then looked up, hearing the door open. It was Shadow Lurker.
"I see you're making yourself at home~" he smirked, walking into the room and closing the door behind him.
"What do you want?" Masky asked, disdain drowned his voice.
"So feisty~" Shadow mused. Masky looked away, closing his eyes. Shadow narrowed his own, walking over to Masky and grabbing his face to make him look at him.
"No one said you could away, you little shit," he spat in Masky's face.
"Since when did you become the king?" Masky deadpanned, eyes half-lidded in boredom. "I hope you know I'm not afraid of ZALGO's little lap dog." Shadow slapped him in the face. He didn't like the way Masky acted, so he decided he was going to make him fear him.
"You better watch what you say," he warned. "If you don't, there's nothing stopping me from setting the Rake loose on your friend."
"Yes there is!" Masky countered, getting irritated that Shadow wouldn't leave him alone. "You and I both know that ZALGO would never let that happen!"
"You really want to test that theory?" Shadow asked. Masky looked down at the bed. Of course he didn't want to test that theory. He couldn't bring himself to call that bluff.
"That's what I thought," Shadow said, leaning closer. "So I suggest you behave youself." He pulled Masky's head back up to face him. He took off Masky's mask and tossed it across the room. "Ashame~" He let go, opened the door and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Shadow traveled through the shadows across the palace to ZALGO's chambers.
"Master?" he called, timidly knocking on the door.
"You may enter, Shadow," ZALGO called from the other side. Shadow opened the door, walking inside. He saw ZALGO in bed with a female servant.
"Leave us," ZALGO said to the servant. She looked at ZALGO, then to Shadow, then nodded, getting off the bed and walking out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"What is it you want, Shadow~?" ZALGO asked, looking over to him. Shadow shifted from foot to foot, looking down at the floor.
When can we get rid of those two?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. ZALGO smiled softly and gestured for him to come closer. Shadow looked back up as ZALGO did this and he timidly walked over to the bed.
"Come lay with me~" ZALGO suggested. Shadow got under the covers and snuggled into ZALGO's arms.
"I know you're getting jealous about having them here~" ZALGO said, stroking Shadow's hair. "But I promise you, as soon as Shadow's little 'babies' get here, I will let you the two in front of them~" Shadow looked up at ZALGO in disbelief.
"Are you serious, Master?" he asked sitting up.
"Would I say it if I wasn't~?" ZALGO answered. Shadow glomped ZALGO.
"Oh, thank you, Master~!" he cheered. "Thank you~! Thank you~! Thank you~! Thank you~! Thank you~! Thank you so much~!" ZALGO chuckled at the hug, hugging back. He was happy that Shadow was happy. He had trained the kid well and soon he was going to make sure that Slender's favorite 'proxy' would never be the same again.
And the plot thickens~ The story's starting to wind down, guys~ There won't be too many chapters left after this unfortunately~ But it's not over yet, so don't get pissed at me just yet~ Anyways, remember to read, review, and enjoy~ See ya~
