Chapter 5

Slenderman grunted softly as he finished treating and wrapping his second proxy's wound. The tall faceless man gently picked up the orange hooded proxy, before setting him down on the light brown leather couch in the infirmary. He returned to the to his work area and began patching up the supernatural pasta he took in. Eyeless Jack would heal quickly, but he didn't want him dripping blood all over his nice clean house again.

"Slendy!" a small shrill voice called from behind the faceless man, "Did something happened!? I heard noises outside earlier, but couldn't find you to tell you," Sally said in a slightly scared tone as she talked to Slenderman from between the bars on the side rail on the stairs.

Slenderman quickly turned around, blocking Sally's view of Jack, not wanting to expose her child like mind to this sort of thing, it was really just an instinct. It was hard to remember that she was a murder in a child's body, "Oh darling! It was, um nothing! Just some hunters, Jeff scared them off," he lied in a wary tone, now she was going to know something was up.

Sally looked at him with suspicious eyes as she tilted her head slightly, making her brown curled hair sway to the side slightly. She stayed silent for a few moments, before leaning forward a little and pressed her rounded face against the railing, "Slendy, are you hurt?" the little girl in the blood stained dress asked in a shaky tone.

Slenderman sighed a little, of course she would worry about me, "No dear…" she should know they are pretty close, which greatly dissatisfied me, "Someone else is though," he told her as he thought about Jacks wounds, they were worst then I first thought they were. Usually his wounds would not require much medical attention, but Jeff really did a number on him this time and would need stitches if they were to heal quickly.

The small girl looked at him with wide green eyes, "Oh," she said softly in worry as she gripped the railing with her small bruised hands, "Who?"

The tall man sighed softly as he continued to think over Jacks wounds, on second thought she was much to innocent to see her friend like this, "…Hoodie," he told her hesitantly, leaving out Jack so she wouldn't panic. Speaking of the proxy, he really needed to reconnect with his first in command and have him return home. I knew I had lost control of him, but couldn't reach Tim in time before he left since I was at the High Council on business. Hoodie being hurt was my fault, I shouldn't have let him go searching even with Jacks help, I only agreed to get them out of the way while I searched mentally for him.

Sally took a silent breath of relief, but remained worried, "Do you need any help?" she asked a little happier as she went down the stairs. She enjoyed taking care of the others when they were hurt and helping them feel better.

"No not now Sally," the faceless man told her, not fully paying attention as he continued trying to locate his proxy. His voice sounded weaker as he pushed more of his energy into his search, they must be in town. Masky…come on…where are you…

"Are you sure?" she asked with a soft smile, eager to help and not be shooed away. She continued going down the stairs, hopping down the last step as she reached the bottom, then started walking toward her well suited friend.

Slenderman did not reply as he tooned her out, letting all his attention go into finding Masky. His body began to shake as he started reaching the limit on his power, there he is. Slenderman relaxed a little as he reached into Tim's mind and harshly ripped him out of control and locked him in the back of his mind as Masky took control. Slenderman sighed deeply as he pulled his energy back and took a few steps backwards, reviling Jacks limp form on the infirmary table.

Sally watched him with concern when she did not get an answer, before turning her head to the spot Slenderman was standing when a black cloth caught her eye. Her green eyes widened in horror before she screamed loudly. Slenderman said only Hoodie was hurt! Jack was the one closest to me and what made things worst was that Slenderman lied to me...

The tall man came out of his short daze as a shrill scream rung in his head, knocking him back into reality. He looked around before spotting Sally a few feet away from him and Jack laying in her eye sight, "S-Sally…you cant be in here!" he said quickly before stepping in front of her to block Jack from her view.

Sally looked at him shocked as tears welled in her eyes. She was mad, but scared as worry dominated her emotions. The small supernatural quickly gripped the tall mans leg as she began to ball.
