Chapter 2

Tanya whipped around to see a boy with shockingly blonde hair with these beautiful crimson eyes. He wore a tunic, which looked hot on him, and he had blood coming from his eye sockets. His blonde bangs were swept to one side of his face, which looked exceedingly hot.

Tanya gulped. "Oh I'm sorry," She began, explaining her situation. "I just need to hide from my mother's games. I'll leave if you-"

"Games?" The boy's lips curved into a smile. "I like games. Tell me more about these games!"

Before Tanya could answer, the door was blown down by her mother, blood covering her. She held up the shotgun once again and pointed it at Tanya.

"Tanya, you're playing terribly at this game!" Her mother laughed insanely. She cocked her shotgun then looked back up, but Tanya and the boy were already gone.

"So...was that your..." The boy began, but Tanya finished for him.

"Yes..." Tanya whispered. "That was my mother..."

"Now, tell me about this 'game' you're playing with your mother."

Tanya sighed, looking down. "It all started after my mom won custody of me..." She looked down, as if she had done something wrong. "I came home from school one day to find her drunk, puking all over the sink. She turned to me and told me we'd play a game. She then began to hit me with whatever she could get her hands on. For the past 5 years, she's gotten worse. Last time I was hospitalized. Looks like she wants me dead now." Tanya sighed and looked up at him. "My dad only gets me on the weekends. So I endure five days of these games every week. I had just gotten back today..."

The boy just stared. "Wow. So that's how you got here." He stopped, then introduced himself. "I'm Ben. Ben Drowned." He swept his blonde hair back then looked at her.

"Tanya." She said blatantly. "Tanya Rogers."

"Strange. We have a Toby Rogers."

"No relation. I'm an only child."

"Well, you need to meet the others."

"Others?" Tanya asked. "Can't I hear your story first?"

Ben sighed in an annoyed tone. "My last name says it all. My father drowned me at age 2 and I'm now a ghost. Can I call them in now? They won't hurt you if I tell them not to."

"O-Okay." Tanya was a bit shaky now.

Ben exited the room with her, holding her hand protectively. He didn't want her hurt, and he would go to any lengths to protect her.

"Jeff! Toby! Richard! Tim! Hoodie! EJ! LJ!" Ben screamed.

"Don't call me Richard!" A deep voice growled. A faceless man teleported in front of her. Tanya gawked at him as Ben laughed.

"Oh, waa, Slender. Stop being such a crybaby!"

Next came a boy with black hair and a smile carved into his face. "I was sleeping you jerk." He punched Ben in the arm.

"But..."

"But what?"

"You have no eyelids, Jeff!"

"I hate you so much, Ben!"

Then two boys with masks on came into the room. One was white with feminine features, the other black with a frown. "Don't call me Tim again." The white masked boy hissed. The other one just hid behind Tim.

"Really, Masky?" Ben growled. "I'm gonna get Tim to annoy the shit out of you!"

"Please don't."

A boy eating a waffle walked into the room. He had chocolate brown hair and eyes. He wore orange glasses and a mouth guard on. "What? I was making waffles!" He growled, annoyed.

"Toby, where's your girlfriend?"

Toby sighed. "Where do you think? She's Dr Smiley's proxy."

Ben laughed. "Sucks for you!"

Toby socked him in the face.

A monochrome clown then poofed into the room. "Whaaaat?" He whined. "I was SLEEPING!"

"Do a magic trick LJ!" Ben cheered.

"No." He punched Toby in the arm.

Finally, a person with dark grey skin and a blue mask stumbled into the room, eating a kidney. "Ello!" He cried, being the first to notice the girl clinging onto Ben's arm.

"Ello!" She cried back, waving frantically at him.

"Good job, EJ! You're the only one who noticed her!"

Everyone else looked at Tanya, then a crash was heard from the living room.

"Tanya!" Her mother called.

Tanya screamed hysterically as her mother walked into the room.

"No!" She sobbed, crashing onto the floor.

Ben hissed angrily as the demented woman slammed the door open. She held a gun and Tanya's two hatchets.

"My hatchets!" She cried, trying to snatch her weapons.

Toby, holding her tightly. "Calm down. You'll get them back. Ben's really smart when it comes to this stuff."

Tanya thrashed toward her still, her mother not noticing.

"Give me my daughter." She hissed. "She needs to come home."

"No." Ben growled. "You're trying to kill her. She's not going anywhere."

"Then I'll just call the police!"

Ben grabbed the hatchets and sliced her head. Her blood gushed all over Ben and Tanya. Tanya held back everything not to puke. Ben took her blood and wiped it all over his face.

Everyone stared at Ben awkwardly.

"What? She shouldn't have done that!"

Everyone just stared as if Ben had killed the president.

But, Tanya's mom was just another victim...
