If It's Not Alright, It's Not the End

Chapter: 8

In one of the houses of the small town by the dark forest Masky sat up before rubbing his head lightly as a soft groan ecasped his mouth, 'Tim is getting stronger...' he thought worried before looking around the dark house as his blue mixed colored eyes adjusted, no longer green like his counter parts, 'Slenderman has no use for a proxy he can not control, or a human with the knowledge he wishes to keep secret,' he thought, concerned for his life.

-Hoodie's hurt,-

The proxy gasped softly hearing his masters voice enter his mind.

~He is? What happened Master?~ He responded as he started to look around the house he recognized as Jay's place, 'How did I get here?' he wondered before feeling his face and frowning feeling his mask was gone, no wonder why Slendermans voice sounded so faded. He noticed piles of furniture in front of the door, 'Tim must have helped Jay...but I was not released? How did he take over?' Masky questioned.

-You shot him, but he is not damaged beyond repair-

Masky relaxed hearing his master say his partner would live and would still be valuable...the younger proxy has grown on him greatly and he would not want to lose him after only two years of friendship.

He sighed softly as he rubbed his head and stopped looking for a way out as he dropped to his knees, would Hoodie forgive him? It was a very difficult task earning the younger males trust in the first place, he must know it was not my choice.

Masky knew Tim hated Hoodie, but the proxy half of him has always been strong enough to stop him from ever hurting his friend too badly. This time was different though...he could not even remember the shooting taking place or anything Tim did, he could alway remember what Tim does.

The burnett gasped out in pain as a sudden pain shot though his head. He gripped his hair as leaned down, 'Tim was trying to take over again!' he knew as he gritted his teeth.

~Master, Tim h-he is-~ He forced through his link with his master, but the throbbing would not let him focus enough to finish, but he knew Slenderman could feel his pain and would hopefully come for him. Masky knew something was wrong and that Tim should not be able to be doing this, Slenderman was supposed to have control over the changes, or his mask which strengthened their bond when he wore it.

Outside of the small house Jeff walked up the cracked driveway, "This is it?" he asked unimpressed as he looked it over before looking at his short friend who nodded, "Great," Jeff said in a happier tone, ready to kill the punks that got away from him. The killer went to the door before trying to open it. He grunted when he found it locked before ramming it with his side.

'Its block..they must have known I was coming,' Jeff considered before grinning and stepping back before running at the door and busting it open and freeing the blockage from the other side.

He grinned widely, impressed with his own strength, as BEN walked up the stairs and looked in the house as he considered going in before sighing and staying outside the door. The killer looked down hearing a whimper before smirking seeing the curly brown hair boy from last night, "Hellllo~" He cooed darkly.

Masky jumped hearing the door cave in before whimpering loudly as his vision blurred as Tim forced himself into the proxys mind, 'Jeff!' he thought relieved, 'Master must have sent him to get me,' he thought before bowing over in pain, 'Just a little bit longer..' he thought, staying in control.

Jeff raised his eye seeing the look of relief wash over the male, "Well you are taking this well..." he said disappointed, "Maybe your friend will be more fun!" the older male cooed with a cruel smirk as he raised his knife up, "Now...Go To Sleep!" Jeff demanded as he swung his knife down.

The proxy looked up at his colleague surprised and horrified, but was too shocked to speak, 'What is he doing!?' Masky thought was he stared at the knife above him, 'My mask! Damn it Jeff! Why this house, why now!? He knows he is not supposed to hunt in town!' the proxy thought, coming to the conclusion Jeff was out hunting and has mistaken him for a human.

Masky flinched as the knife was swung down before slowly looking up when nothing happened. His eyes widened seeing a long black tendril wrapped around Jeffs arm. His body relaxed again, 'Slenderman did come...' he thought very relieved.

Slenderman walked out of the kitchen as he lifted the killer up by his arm, "Jeffery!" he said in a deeply annoyed tone as he crossed his arms and stood next to his top proxy.

The famous killer growled loudly when his arm was stopped before glaring at Slenderman, "Wha- dude what the hell! This guys had this coming! They have you and your freak show on tape!" Jeff growled at the tall creature as he struggled in his grip, "And now me and Eyeless!" he defended himself, annoyed he was stopped.

Slenderman listen to the human with no interest, "This is Masky you idiot!" he yelled at the killer, not worried about Jay waking up, he already took care of him and his memories of his and Tim's trip. The faceless man tossing Jeff out of the door of the house before looking at his favorite proxy.

"Slenderman.." Masky said pained as he reached up to him.

His master sighed, knowing the proxy was weakened, before grabbing his orange jacket and lifting him up as he slenderwalked back towards his mansion with his proxy in tow.

Once they reached the mansion Slenderman set his proxy down before handing him his mask, "Put this on," he ordered him before relaxing, "Welcome back," he told Masky, not upset with him, this was his own mistake. He was getting weaker, and with his failure he was losing his control on his proxies. Slenderman sighed slightly, he didnt want to let any go but it is getting to that point.

Masky accepted the mask before slipping it back over his face, letting out a soft sigh of relief once it was on and the pain and his head vanished, "Thank you sir...Tim is a lot stonger now," he told his master, concerned he would be punished.

The faceless man growled slightly, his native proxy believed this was the humans fault and he would let him keeping thinking that for now, "Its fine, you need to stay close to me for a few days so I may have better control over him, and you," he told him.

The burnett tilted his head slightly in concern, sensing somthing was wrong, "Sir..is everything alright?" he asked his master softly, hoping he did not anger him.

Slenderman shook his head lightly before looking at his loyal proxy, "Just deep in thought," he lied, not wanting to tell him, fearing it would just cause more problems, it was not of his concern anyways, Masky was still of great use.

Masky looked down slightly as he gave his master a soft nod, "Yes sir, may I visit with Hoodie if he is awake?" he asked curiously, hoping to see if his friend was alright and what condition he was in.

The tall being hummed, "No Masky, it is proably best if you did not see him at the moment, go rest," he told him blunty, wanting them both to rest in case he needed them for later. He watched his proxy look down sadly before nodding, "Yes sir," his proxy responded before obeying and going upstairs as ordered.

The faceless man nodding at his obedience before going towards the infirmary to look in and see it Sally had done her job like he asked her to, or if Eyeless was dead.

BEN groaned as Jeff's body collided with his smaller form, pushing him back against the wooden railing, breaking it and sending them into a pile on the ground.

"Agh!" Jeff snapped as he stood back up and kicked the ground, "Masky!? That doesnt even..I mean come on he doesnt even, AGGGHH!" he raged as he kicked the ground and slashed at some small trees, knocking the leafs off of them.

BEN watched him unamused before sighing and standing up. The small blonde peeked back into the house before frowning seeing Slenderman left them there, 'Great...I knew I should have stayed home...' he thought annoyed before looking back at Jeff as he raged down the sidewalk back home. BEN let out another groan before starting to float after him back home.
