Chapter 9: Truce

"Jackie, is that normal?" I asked when the power went out.

"Nope." She replied, getting up.

We both got up and went to go find a flashlight so we can see.

"WHO THE FUCK TURNED THE POWER OFF!" Benny shouted.

"BENNY LANGUAGE!" Slenda shouted.

As everyone gathered in the living room, the house started shaking.

"This can't be good." Jill said.

Sally grabbed onto my leg for support as everything started to fall from their spots. It all stopped when a flash of red light filled the room. When the light went away, there stood to demonic looking creatures. One male, and one female.

"Zalgo's and Zalgas, to what do we have the honor?" Slenda asked, venom in her voice.

"We heard about the little ambush our proxy's pulled, how two of them were complete failures." Zalgos replied.

Stryker remained silent while Maria hid behind me.

"So this must be the human that bested Stryker twice." Zalgas said, walking up to me, "Aren't you the handsome one~"

"Sorry creepy lady, but I'm taken." I said looking at her.

"I see." She said, "No matter, we're not here for you right now."

"Then why are you here?" Slenda asked.

"To put an end to this pathetic war of ours." She replied, "My brother and I are growing bored and tired of this war. I assume you are as well."

"So, you want a truce?" Slenda then asked.

"Yes." Zalgos replied, "After all, we were all friends once."

"What are the terms?" Slenda then asked.

"Simple, we already have all of our proxy's attend the same room." Zalgas explained, "Sooner or later there will be a new enemy coming along that might be strong enough to the point where we have to join forces."

"It sounds as if you already know there is." I stated.

"Smart boy~" Zalgas said before turning to Jackie, "He's a keeper~"

"Who might this enemy be then?" Benny asked.

"Have you heard of the Proxy hunters?" Zalgos asked.

Everyone went silent aside from me.

"Proxy-hunters?" I asked.

"When Zalgos, Zalgas, my brothers and I first appeared, we killed anyone in our path," Slenda explained, "We were the reason europe didn't leave the dark ages. We reigned the dark world for hundreds of years. Originally it was just us and didn't have the need to recruit anyone. But then a group of humans… super-humans formed and decided to attack us, preventing us to do our jobs. Seeing that we were outnumbered, we decided to take on our own humans, Maria being the first proxy for Zalgas, Jack the ripper being Slendermans, Laughing Jill's mine, Laughing Jack for Zalgos, Alice being Splendors. Offenderman and Trenderman didn't have one saying that it wasn't right."

"Wait, but… Jack the ripper was a serial killer in the late 1800s, and from what you're saying this took place couple of hundreds of years before the 1800s, so how was he slendermans first?" I asked.

"We all didn't start to make proxies instantly Jimmy," Zalgos replied, " My sister was the only one that did it when the rest of us went against it."

"So, Maria's been around for thousands of years?" I asked.

"Yeah, basically." Maria replied, "But for me there was a cost…. Unlike the others, since I was one of the firsts, I forget all my memories aside from who I am, and who I belonged to after three hundred years."

"How long has it been then?" I asked.

"It restarted about a year ago." She replied.

"Wait… then how the hell did you know who I was and that we dated?" I asked.

"That is one thing I'm trying to figure out myself, usually I forget everyone but you, Hunter and Alex were the only ones that I remembered." She replied.

"That is another reason why I had such interest in you" Zalgas said, "She doesn't remember shit after those three hundred years."

"Slenda… do you think this could have something to with that other soul in my body?" I asked.

"Could be… but it's not just that one soul, there's another one. One that isn't as dangerous as Krilex." Slenda replied.

'So, she did notice my pressences.' a voice in my head said impressed.

"I've noticed your presence the moment you…. Jimmy woke up, why not introduce yourself." Slenda said.

"Wait what-" I said but everything faded out.

(Third Person p.o.v.)

"Hello everyone, I am Knox." The person who's now controlling Jimmy introduced.

"You seem much more polite than Krilex was." Jess said.

"Well, he is the trouble maker out of the three of us." Knox said, "But he only did what he did to save Jimmy."

"Really? Because he acted as if he wasn't going to give Jimmy's body back." Jackie said.

"He likes to be dramatic, trust me I already dealt with him." Knox said.

'More like beat me to a living pulp' Krilex said huffily, 'besides i was kidding. But i was somewhat right. He didn't wake up for a month.'

Knox shook his head before speaking again, "He says he was kidding but that he was somewhat right since it took a month for Jimmy to wake up."

Jackie growled at this but didn't do anything.

"I'd… be careful of what you say some of us afraid that he wouldn't wake up, especially Jackie." Slenda said.

"My apologies, I'll make sure that I won't bring that up again." Knox said, bowing apologetically

"Now, can we speak to Krilex?" Slenda asked.

"Very well, Krilex behave." Knox said before giving control over to Krilex.

"Yes mom." Krilex said mockingly.

"So, You're Krilex." Zalgos said.

"Sup." Krilex said.

"How do you guys switch over?" Benny asked.

"Fuck you thats how." He replied only to get mentally slapped.

'I said behave.' Knox said.

"Sorry." Krilex said. "So, what is it you guys want."

"How did you and Knox get into Jimmy's body?" Slenda asked.

"We've been with Jimmy ever since he was born. It just took us a very long ass time to reach him." Krilex replied, "Who knew him getting stabbed in the chest would work?"

"You're so damn lucky that you're in Jimmy's body right now." Jackie said with venom.

"Yeah, yeah, cry me a river sweet cheeks." Krilex said, waving off what Jackie said, "Are we done here?"

"For now." Slenda said.

"Good. Here's your precious Jimmy back." He said.

'His eyes change colors when someone else is in control, Hazel for Jimmy, Blue for Knox and red for Krilex.' Slenda thought.

"Woah ok that was weird." Jimmy said.

'So does his voice.' Slenda added.

(Jimmy's p.o.v.)

"Why is Jackie looking at me pissed? What happened?" I asked.

"What Krilex said." Slenda replied. "Jackie, he's back."

Jackie didn't respond. I sighed and walked over to her and kissed her softly. She jumped back blushing madly but then smashed her lips back into mine.

"Better?" I asked.

She nodded smiling.

"Anyway, back to the original business," Zalgas said, getting everyone's attention. "Have you decided."

"If what you say is true than we have no choice." Slenda said. "Which means, Jimmy is in even more danger if we don't turn him into a proxy soon."

"What?" I asked confused.
