LUPIN P.O.V
I woke up the next morning to a knock on my door. I had to push Meeko off me in order to get out of bed. He was one heavy wolf. I went to the door and was greeted by Clocky. She smiled and handed me some clothes.
"You can wear these. I'm not gonna wear them. When you're done getting dressed, come down for breakfast. Toby is making waffles and is actually making them for everybody."
I hugged Clocky, taking her by surprise. My tail was wagging and my ears were up. "Thank you, Clocky."
"No problem. See you at breakfast."
I waved bye before seeing what Clocky gave me for clothes. There was a red t-shirt and a pair of black shorts I liked the outfit and immediately put them on. I had to make a tail hole in the shorts but that was all. I ran my fingers through my hair and tail before heading down for breakfast. Meeko and Jayda followed, eager for some food.
"These are amazing! You are a great cook, Toby."
Toby nodded as I dug into my fifth waffle. Some of the other killers ate a lot, so Toby made sure to make plenty of waffles. I was sitting next to Laughing Jack and the boy with the white hoodie. He told me his name was Jeff. I thought he wasn't that bad looking, even with the cheshire smile carved into his face and lack of eyelids. I caught him looking at me every now and then. Sometimes he had this amused smile and I saw him looking at my tail. My tail was wagging with delight. I couldn't help it. The waffles were so good and I hadn't had anything like them in seven years.
"Stop looking at my tail."
"Hehe. I can't. It's just too cute."
My cheeks went red in embarrassment. I finished my waffles, mostly by giving pieces to Meeko and Jayda, and picked up my dishes. I put them in the sink then left. I headed to the living room to watch some tv. Like the waffles, I hadn't had any access to tv in seven years. I was too scared to watch through people's windows. As I passed the front door, it burst open. Three figures similar to Slenderman stood in the door.
"LITTLE BROTHER! GUESS WHO CAME TO VISIT!"
The noise hurt my ears, making me whimper a little. The three figures turned their heads towards me. One of them wore a suit with polka dots and had a smiley face. He ran over to me and picked me up.
"Well, look at you! You must be new! My name is Splendorman, but you can call me Splendy! What's your name!?"
"Uh, Lupin."
"What an adorable name! You have the cutest ears and tail! You're just like a little puppy!"
"Thank you?"
I was getting a little nervous. Splendy seemed nice, but a little too cheerful and I kept seeing one of the others staring at me. He had this sharp grin on his face and it was like he was checking me out. I shuddered, but then heard someone come out of the kitchen.
"Splendy! Put Lupin down. Now!"
I recognized Slenderman's voice and couldn't help as my tail wagged with relief. Splendy put me down and then ran over to Slenderman.
"Little brother! How are you!? We thought we would come over for a visit and we see that you have a new member of the family. When did she get here!?"
"Yesterday. She was hurt and needs to take it easy while her body heals. I don't need you three hurting her more."
I felt a little awkward and slowly left. I went straight to the living room. I curled up on the couch and turned on the tv. Old cartoons were on and they reminded me of the shows I used to watch with my parents. I felt tears sting my eyes and curled up into a ball. A hand on my shoulder made me jump.I looked behind me and saw Jeff. He looked concerned.
"You alright? Did Offendy try anything?"
I wiped away my tears. "No. It's nothing like that. I was just thinking about my parents. They were killed by witch hunters when I was ten. I saw the whole thing."
Jeff looked away before sitting down on the couch next to me. Before I knew it, he pulled me onto his lap and was hugging me. I felt his hand stroking my hair. My ear was pressed against his chest and I could hear his heart. It felt comforting. I started to doze off in Jeff's arms and eventually fell asleep.
I woke up a few hours later, but not to a good sight. I felt my arms and legs being pinned down to the bed and felt something rubbing against my waist. I opened my eyes and screamed. The one called Offendy was over me, his grin seeming to get bigger by the second.
"GET OFF ME!"
"Easy, my dear. There's no need to scream...not yet anyway."
My shrank back against my pillow, wanting desperately to get away. I felt tears sting my eyes and let a whimper escape my throat. That only seemed to make Offendy grin more. I felt something cold on my leg slowly make its way. That made me terrified and I had a realization of what Offendy wanted. I screamed again, louder this time. A cold tentacle covered my mouth, muffling my screams, but it was too late. Pounding on my door started a little bit after and then, my door came crashing open. In the doorway was Laughing Jack and behind him, Jeff. I was really crying then.
"GET HIM OFF ME!"
Laughing Jack didn't waste anytime and ran straight at Offendy. He slashed at one tendril, making Offendy release his grip on me. He then jumped on him, tackling him to the ground. I rolled away from the boys and fell to the floor. Jeff came over and picked me up. I cried into his sweater as he carried me out of the room. I didn't want to let go and clung to Jeff. I heard his heart beating fast and could sense that he was mad. I cried the rest of the night and Jeff was there with me the whole time.
I couldn't sleep for the next week. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the grin of Offendy. I remembered how he tried to touch me, tried to take away my last piece of purity. I didn't want to have the nightmares, so I stayed awake. I used energy spells, but there's only so many days a person can go without sleep. I went down to lunch on the eighth day and I felt like crap. Everyone else noticed my lack of sleep and grew concerned.
"Lupin? Have you been sleeping well?"
I looked at Slendy and shook my head. "No. I haven't been sleeping at all actually. I keep having
nightmares about Offendy and what he tried to do to me. I've been keeping myself awake for the past week."
"Child, you need to sleep. Staying awake for that long isn't good for you."
"I know, Slendy. I just...don't want to have the nightmares anymore. I don't feel safe when I see his face in my sleep."
I started crying and that seemed to make Jeff frustrated. He slammed his fist down on the table and that made me jump out of my seat. I yipped when I hit the floor.
"I've had enough of this. I've seen how you look, how you flinch when someone touches you. I'm sick of it. You need to sleep and I'm gonna make you go to sleep."
Jeff came over and picked me up bridal style. He carried me out of the kitchen and carried me up to his room. I tried to make him put me down, but he wouldn't budge. When we got to the room, Jeff layed me down on the bed and got in with me. He pulled the blankets over the two of us and pulled me close to him. It felt awkward.
"Jeff, I don't ne-"
"No, Lupin. You do need this. You look like shit and I'm sick of worrying over you."
That made me blush a little. Jeff was worried about me? I guess that explains why he's been looking at me the past couple days. I looked into his eyes and I saw the concern and worry. It may not seem like there was any because of the lack of eyelids, but it was there.
"I don't like seeing your beautiful face so...dull. You need to sleep. Sleep will make you feel better. Now, just close your eyes and sleep."
I tried, but I instantly saw Offendy. I opened my eyes and felt scared. Jeff put his forehead against my own and looked into my eyes. I couldn't help but feel comforted by his eyes. Seeing that I wasn't as afraid anymore, Jeff kissed my forehead and then turned so he was laying on his back. I layed my head on his chest and heard his heart. The beating sound lulled me to sleep and for once, I didn't see Offendy.
