AN~I don't own any of the characters except for Amelia/Pandora. Also, I'm going with the fact that Tim/Masky has brown eyes like he does in the actual MH youtube series. I have this series over on Deviantart as well, so some of the characters belong to people over there as well. All new credit will be added at the end of each Chapter, previous credit will be posted at the top and bottom.
We talked for a bit longer, I learned a few of the names of the people that lived in the home and that I would also have a room mate. Each of the room mates tended to work in pairs a lot during missions, which made sense I guess. Maskie's was Hoodie; Jeff didn't have a human proxy roommate, his was a monster dog named Smile. It was weird, that animals apparently could be distorted to, or changed into a form of proxy as well. Maskie said mine went mostly by SK.
We rested there for a while, that is until some came bouncing in. A boy came bouncing into the room, with way more energy than anyone else I had seen yet in this house have. I jump and sit back up.
"W-who's th-this?" The boy stammered as his head twitched to the side. "Th-the new girl?"
"She's one of the new proxies Hoodie and I brought in," Masky said with a sigh. "Her name's Amelia at the moment, but she shares her body with another soul named Pandora." It was clear Tim wasn't happy with the intruder.
"W-who are you?" I stammered.
"I-I'm Toby! Ticci-Toby!" His head cocked to the other side as he spoke. "Ti-ticci bec-because of my t-ti-tic!" It seemed like it was difficult for him to speak. I felt kinda bad for the guy. He glanced over at Masky. "Master Slenderman wa-wants to spea-speak to you." Tim let out a small groan and nodded.
"Fine, go tell him I'll be there momentarily," Tim replied as he stood up. Toby bounced back out of the room just as quickly as he came in. He turned and looked down at me. "Another thing about being a proxy, you can't really refuse any of the missions Slenderman gives you. I trust you'll be alright in the house, so go and explore. These are going to be the people you live with, so you can't really avoid them." I could hear a small hint of a smile in his voice. He offered me his hand and I took it, standing up.
"Alright, I'll go socialize, hopefully they're nicer than the last group of people I had to work with," I smiled up at him.
"They are," He said. I slide my arms around him.
"Just make sure you make it back in one piece," I spoke into his chest. He chuckled as I slowly released my grip on him.
"I will, I promise," He said as he slipped his mask up and kissed my forehead quickly, then the mask was back in place and he was out the door. I slowly walked around the table and out the same door he used. There was no trace of him ever leaving the room. I wonder if everyone was like that, capable of vanishing like they never existed. As the thought wondered through my mind I slowly made my way down the hall. It was weird, this place looked so...normal.
"W-where is everyone?" I spoke softly to myself more than to anyone in particular.
"Oh, looky, a new girl," A voice purred from behind me. I spun around expecting someone to be standing close by but I was met with empty space.
"Wh-who's there?" I stammer. A soft giggle came from behind me and I spun back around as I grabbed feebly at the knife that rested on my left side with my right hand. My hand shook as I held the knife defensively in front of me. A girl stood a few feet away. She was a bit taller than me, she wore a dark blue hoodie with gray jeans, both had parts missing like she had been through hell and back, she wore boots that went up to mid shin that were blue and purple. Brown hair framed her face with purple bangs, but it was her mask that startled me. It was a gray full mask with a huge bloody smile with cat like eyes that seemed to pierce into my soul, and she had cat ears that matched.
"Hello girly," She said softly as she tilted her head to the side like a cat would. She had both a huge scythe that rested on her back and a smaller version in her hand.
"W-who are y-you?" I stammered as I stepped backwards not quite sure whether she was one of the proxies I could trust or not.
"Meow," She simply meowed. I tilted my own head to the side in confusion.
"What?" I asked confused.
"My name, it's Meow," She said. I could hear a smile as it played on her lips. She seemed happy that I was confused. "And you, newbie?"
"I-I'm," I stammer and stop. Part of me knew that we were suppose to use our proxy name, but at the same time, I wasn't fully her. Pandora was her own person, and I'm still Amelia. I'm different from the person I was yesterday, er was it earlier today? Time, it seemed so irrelevant here in this unfamiliar territory.
"Hm," She crossed her arms over her chest clearly impatient and annoyed with me for taking so long to respond.
"I'm Amelia right now," I answered to the best of my ability.
"What? You're schizo?" She asked.
"N-no, th-there's another s-soul inside my body," I slid my knife back into its sheath.
"Whatever," she shrugged like she couldn't care less, and maybe she couldn't. "But the point is that you're the girl that's replacing SK's old partner."
"Y-yeah, tha-that's what I've been told," I said as I glanced past her then back at her. "What happened to her partner?" That was probably the stupidest question that had ever left my lips in this house so far.
"She got killed. We're not immortal, we live longer lives but we still die. Some of us go on missions and never come back," She answered. She was being honest but it sounded harsh to me. A thought flashed through my mind, what if Tim doesn't make it back from his mission. I'd gone through hell at school when he had left me there, and if I lost him a second time I know I won't get to see him ever again. The fear stroke a cord inside of me that made my hands shake, I quickly shove my hands into my hoodie pocket.
"S-so, is Slenderman immortal?" I asked, my voice shook so bad as the fear resonated inside of me.
"Not sure, really. I don't think he can die of natural causes like us, but he can be killed I think. Zalgo, he's Slenderman's enemy and I think he's the only one that can either kill him or create someone that can," She answered. Her head cocked to the side like she could hear something I clearly couldn't. She glanced back at me. "See ya' around noobie, don't die right away." With that she seemed to vanish. Yep, I'm almost completely convinced all these people can vanish on command like they had never existed. I let out a sigh as I started to walk again, this time I kept myself on guard and not daydream.
I come to a dead end that branched off to a pair of stairs that led up and down. I take the flight of stairs leading me downwards. I skipped down the steps as the odd tune of Pandora's lullaby played off my lips in a hum. It was a slower version of Rock-a-by-baby, I come to that conclusion as I hit the landing. I could hear some swears from down the hall.
"Oh, god, what's going on?" I whispered to myself as I moved along the wall.
"Stop fighting you guys! You both are being childish!" A voice called out. I glanced into the room. My eyes widened as I saw a boy with black and green tentacles sprouting out of his back, he wore a black sleeveless jacket that had white markings as well as matching pants. His ears, though were nothing but odd. His ears twitched to the side, and by ears I mean he had black canine ears. His back was towards the door so I could only see his backside, where else the girl he was fighting with a boy that actually seemed to look normal compared to the rest of the house. He had sandy brown hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a washed out blue shirt and blue jeans.
"I didn't touch your fucking eyeballs!" The guy further away growled out. He looked like he was past simply being mad.
"Slenderman isn't going to be amused if you guys wreck his house, again." The girl said as she crossed her arms over her chest. The girl had reddish brown hair that went a bit past her shoulders, her eyes were just about the same dark brown as the guy's. She wore a blue top that stopped above her stomach over a black tank top, and blue jeans.
"He's my uncle, he isn't going to kick me out of here," The closer boy said all cocky like with a soft British accent.
"I bet he does, if you destroy more of his house," The girl pointed out.
"Whatever," The closer boy huffed. He was about to walk towards the door. Not wanting to confront more of the odd people this early I quickly dashed down the hall and found a door that looked like a door that would lead outside. I open it quickly and softly, I slid out and closing the door behind me. It was night, the stars were the only source of light. I walked blindly into the wooded area, I figured as long as I kept going straight I'd be able to find my way back easy enough.
"It's so much more peaceful out here," I whispered softly as I came to an opening. I wanted a moment to myself, pretend that things were normal once again. Just stare up at the stars and imagine an escape from reality. I guess, this was an escape from what I had perceived as my reality.
"It's calming out here, huh," A voice said softly. I yelped in surprise as I glanced over and found two girls up in a tree. One was further up in the tree while the other was closer to the base of the tree. The girl further up stared straight down at me. She wore a plain white mask with blacked out eyes and a black smile, it was off putting to say the least. While the closer girl had bright blue hair with matching blue eye, where the other eye was was a white patch with a red cross over it. She wore a green coat that covered a majority of her body. She dropped off the tree and stood in front of me.
"You're Pandora?" She asked as she looked me over.
"I-I'm Amelia, Pandora is sleeping right now," I said honestly. As far as I knew Pandora was still a sleep, curled up inside of me somewhere resting. It was either that or she was being quiet, which the only time she was was when I was taking pills.
"You're the girl, though? The one Maskie and Hoodie brought back, right?" She said as she cocked her head to the side. Her eye seemed to pierce into mine.
"Y-yes," I answered. "And you are?" She smiled showing off her sharp dagger like teeth.
"I'm Serpentkiller, better known as SK." She said as she leaned back crossing her arms over her chest all proud like. I stood there in gasp, this was the woman that everyone had talked about. This was my room mate, my team mate. She's going to be one of the few that get to see my face without the mask, only when we're in our room. I smiled and was about to speak when something seemed to stop everything around us. All movement creased to exist.
