Levi's POV

I was wheezing for breath, leaning against the roller coaster structure, that I seem to always find my way back to. I don't know how I did it, but I lost those guys who were shooting at me. I kind of felt bad, that Masky was being chased by them too, but that was how the cookie crumbled, and it gave me a chance to slip away at one point. This whole place was strange, the longer I stayed here, the more I kept seeing Masky's mask popping up everywhere. I swear, that I was seeing clones of him walking around, but that was just crazy. Or it was my mind telling me, he was the only way I was ever going to make it out of here alive. I honestly, was almost believing that. The stupid device dinged in my pocket, signaling that BEN was ready to be of some help now. Looking at the screen, I really just wanted to toss the device.

BEN: Have a good run? ;) LOL!

"Shut up." I growled.

BEN: So, you don't want to know how to get out of the carnival?

"Yes! I want out of the carnival. Its been fun. Now let me out!" I said, a hint of sarcasm dripping into my voice.

BEN: Turn to your left, and walk straight.

BEN: You should see the exit. :)

"I just came from there." I said, looking in the direction he was telling me to go.

BEN: Go back. And check again, Levi. )

"Fine." I mumbled, not really wanting to basically retrace my steps back to the psychos with the guns. I was cautious this time. Not wanting to draw attention to myself by just walking carelessly out in the open. I felt like I was in one of those cheesy spy movies, as I carefully peeked around corners before even walking forward. I could still hear shooting and shouts. Just when I was about to tell BEN 'I told you so.', when I actually had to come to a complete stop. How was this even possible? "What the hell is going on?" I said out loud, as I stared at the entrance of the carnival. This was not here before. I know this was not here before.

BEN: Don't just stand there.

BEN: Didn't you want to leave?

I cautiously stepped one foot out of the carnival, not trusting my eyes, since it seems they failed me already, I mean seriously how I have missed such a big entrance, that had a big sign written in red 'Exit'?! It just wasn't possible, but then there were a lot of things happening here that shouldn't be possibly. When the exit did not vanish, I stepped all the way out, and like a marathon runner, dashed down the path that led away from the creepy, horror movie worthy carnival. I gripped the I-pod, when I finely felt like I was far enough away from the carnival the dangers that were in it, to slow to a jog. "Okay, where is this path going to lead me?" I demanded.

BEN: I don't know what you mean? )

"Quit being a smartass and tell me!" I said, shaking the device.

BEN: Okay, okay….

BEN: But first…..

"Yes?" I said, suddenly not trusting BEN. Not that I trusted him at all.

BEN: Where do you wish to go?

I stopped my jog, so I could be sure I was reading that right. "What?!"

BEN: Where do you wish to go?

BEN: Really, Levi, its not like I can stutter in text, and its not a difficult question.

BEN: Tell where you wish to go.

"I want to leave this place!" I practically screeched, at the Ipod.

BEN: No need to lose you pants.

BEN: I can hear you just fine.

BEN: Walk straight, if you wish to leave.

I narrowed my eyes at the words on the screen, before pocketing it. "This better not be a trick." I mumbled, as I followed the path. When you watch television or movies and see the characters running and dodging bullets, like bosses, you think its easy and would be cool to do as well, and I use to be one of those people. Not anymore. This was not awesome. This was not cool. I wanted my normal life back. I couldn't help, but to monologue to myself as I walked along, trying to distract myself and failing, as my eyes were constantly scanning the path ahead of me. My hears were straining to here if there was anything following or behind me. I became wary as I saw a house came into view. A normal, suburban looking house with its door open. I stopped, as I got just a few yards away from it. Looking around, I noticed that I was indeed on a street filled with houses, but this one was the only one with its door open. Inviting any who came upon it to enter. While the other houses, were shut tight, curtains closed, all the same color. This one was made of brick, with blue window shutters, and flower curtains that were pulled opened. No one was outside, either. All the cars and bicycles, seemed like perfectly placed pieces, to project a perfectly normal looking neighborhood. I didn't trust it. At the sound of a ding from my pocket, I pulled out the I-pod.

BEN: Well, what are you waiting for?

BEN: Go in.

"I don't trust this." I said, still looking around. I was paranoid now. "This is too convenient….Too perfect." I backed up a few paces, but stopped when I noticed that I was about to re-enter the woods, where the path I had followed, had magically vanished. Either way, I did not want to go back to the woods, even if I was a bit worried if Masky had gotten away. I really shouldn't be worried about him, he was probably better off than I was.

BEN: What are you talking about?

BEN: I led you here, because you said.

BEN: 'I want to leave this place.'

BEN: You are now out of the woods.

BEN: You're welcome. (

The house looked innocent enough, but not so innocent at the same time. Maybe I could by pass this has and go to another house. Or maybe to the traffic, I could hear, but couldn't see. This was the part in the scary movies where the victims find a seemingly safe place and think they've escaped whatever hell they were running from. "What will happen if I go in there?" I asked BEN.

BEN: What do you mean?

BEN: You go in.

BEN: And then you leave our dimension.

BEN: You go home.

BEN: I set you free, to reunite with the other prey.

I stayed silent.

BEN: Isn't what what you wanted?

BEN: To get away from us Monsters?

"I never called, any of you monsters." I mumbled, not looking at the I-pod any more, as I walked into the house. It was a well furnished house. It was literally, a normal furnished house on the inside, almost like someone should be living here, but by the dust the layered on everything, it was obvious that no one has lived in this house for a long time. I walked slowly to through the house, peeking into each room. The living area. The kitchen and dining room. The study. Climbing up the stairs, I cringed when some on the stairs, squeaked, all the rooms up stairs, had their doors closed and after trying to open all of them, I found them all locked as well. I almost jumped out of my skin when I descended the stairs and heard horns honking, a few dogs barking, and signs of life outside the house. Peeking out the window, I had to rub my eyes, for I did not believe what I was seeing. The neighborhood was normal now, there were people moving about, and cars coming and going on the street. "What…..?" I mumbled.

BEN: ) Told you I would deliver you back to your own kind.

"How?….The street was was empty…..This was like a ghost neighborhood, before….." I mumbled.

BEN: Just a bit of transportation. )

BEN: Oh, look.

BEN: Looks like your friend from the carnival have made it out too.

My head snapped back to the window, and watched with horror as a group of those men with the gun emerged from the woods. I didn't see Masky with them, so maybe he got away. However, I became even more horrified, to see a black van arrive and a few more men dressed the same getting out of the vehicle. Hastily, I backed away from the window, and hurried my way to the one door I had not tried. The door, that I knew led to a basement. I really didn't ant to go to the basement, especially since it seems like my life had turned into a horror movies and turned upside down on it head. Those men had guns, and therefore, basement versus guns, I pick basement. Basements were nonlethal, and I was more likely to come out alive. I breath a sigh of relief when the door opened up, and was not locked. Jumping down the stairs I, found myself a nice hiding spot behind some boxes and chest, that were pressed up tight against the far wall, that even I was amazed, that I could squeeze my self behind them. I huddled in to myself and hugged the I-pod close when I heard stomping and above my head. I could here them, kicking the locked doors open on the second floor. There was one guy I could hear shouting orders, but the words were muffled, so I couldn't tell what was said. I held my breath, when they kicked the door to the basement open, and came stomping down the stairs. I closed my eyes, and listened to them knocking things over, praying they would somehow bypass me.

"This area is clear. I don't think anyone approached the house." Someone reported.

"Looks like it. Lets move on to the other houses." Slowly, I let out a the breath I had been holding. Somehow, they really did opt to not look at my hiding spot. Maybe the simplest was the best. I jumped when all of a sudden the I-pod in my hand started blaring a Zelda tune from Majora's Mask; the reversed Song of Healing; The Song of Unhealing. I felt like BEN just single handily hammered the nail in my coffin, as I heard the men start running back to the basement. "Ben!" I squeaked, restraining myself not to smash the device in my hand.

BEN: ) I said, I'd deliver you to our other prey.

BEN: My promise isn't kept, unless they find you.

BEN: Besides, your too broken, to really function with humanity anymore.

BEN: This has been a fun game.

BEN: Bye, bye Levi. )

BEN: LOL D

And just like that, the I-pod started deleting and turned itself off, just as I was dragged out from my hiding spot. I dropped the I-pod, as I attempted to struggle. I almost got away, only to run into more men, only they were pointing their guns at me. "Oh, shit!" I cursed, putting my hands up. "I swear to you guys," I swore, something I try to never do. "I'm not one of them. I'm a victim! I was kidnapped! Oh, God! Please! Please don't kill me!" I pleaded, my mouth running on it own, as all I could see was the barrel of the guns, pointing at me. I never felt so much fear, even with Masky, and his friends. I mean I yeah, I felt uneasy around them, but these men. That had actually attempted to shoot me before, and I really, really didn't want to die.

One of the men started laughing, as if my pleading for my life was hilarious to him, as he pulled the trigger. I fell backward, and landed roughly on my back. My shoulder stung and I wanted to grabbed it out of reflex, but couldn't. My mind at the moment could not comprehend that I had been shot with a dart. No, the only thing running through my mind was that, I had been shot and now my body would not move. I cried out as a booted foot, stomped on my stomach. "Goodnight, little Proxy!" The man, that had shot me sneered, as he shot me again in my other shoulder. Darkness took hold of my vision instantly.

Slenderman's POV

I was very pleased with my Proxy's, even Masky, he was putting up quite a fight against the intruders I had allowed into our woods. Like flies to a flame, they had came into our woods and into L.J.'s carnival without much trickery needed. BEN had been ordered to watch over the child, and deliver him to the Facility men. Of course the plan also required for Masky to be captured too. It was easy to fool the human's trying to catch us, and all that was needed to have the boy go wherever we wanted was to fall back on our usual routine, when it comes to dealing with prey. Masky, however, was a Proxy, and had required some motivation, so after placing him in the carnival, we just needed to have him see his prey, in danger of being stolen from him. Hoodie stood beside me quietly, as we watched the men restrain Masky. I knew despite his disassociation with emotions, he did not like setting his friend up to be captured.

Everyone was watching, as Masky was subdued and carted off. I had made sure that they would be able to find their way out of our woods. I did not want parasites lingering in out home. Jeff, Rake, Smile dog, and L.J. would have to do patrol for a couple of days to make sure none of the parasites lingered. BEN showed up just as they vanished. "Levi has been delivered. Safe and mostly sound and sane." He informed, with his usual mischievous smile.

I nodded my head in approval.

"I need a cheesecake." Hoodie announced, heading for the mansion.

I felt sympathy for him, after all he and Masky were almost like brothers, but Masky wasn't doing the child or himself any good by ignoring his human feelings. Masky and Hoodie were no longer human, but that didn't mean they didn't still possess human emotions. The human emotions were just very faint, still there, it would no good to ignore them. It would only cause problems. Afterall, it was too late for either of them to become human again.

Levi's POV:

A feeling or deja-vu when my eyes opened. Not only were my muscles burning with soreness, from all the running I had done in the woods, but my head felt foggy, like it was moving in slow mode. 'Why does it feel like I've been through this before?' The question was quite frustrating. The room was too bright, and when I looked around I found the room was also too white. I laying on bed you find in a prison, with an uncomfortable mattress. 'Even the bed Masky gave was more comfortable than this.' Now that I thought about, even though the bed back at the cabin looked worn, the mattress was actually very comfortable, which was weird for an old bed.

Shaking my head to help clear it, I sat up, only find my hands cuffed and linked by a chain that was wrapped around my just above my waist; in the same way you usually see on television, or news when you see an inmate. I couldn't bring my hands up, except a few inches, which meant I had no way to protect my face, should the need arise. Another glance around the room, now that my head was clearing, I realized I was in a padded room, the only thing that wasn't padded was the obviously thick steel door, with a small barred window.

"Oh God! I really have gone crazy!" I panicked, yanking at the restraints that held my hands captive. I know I said, I'd rather be crazy, so I could wake up and get out of those woulds, but I changed my mind. I don't want to be crazy. The woods and those crazy, characters that I had encountered weren't so bad. Masky wasn't so bad. I mean yeah, he threaten, but never actually hurt me to end my life. Nor had the others.

I ran up to the door, getting up close so I could bang on it. "Hey! There's been a mistake! Let me out! I wanna see who's in charge!" I said, banging on the door trying to make enough noise to draw someone near. I only stopped for a second when white noise resonated in my head. It was like a switch was flipped as the memories of how I ended up here came to me. Ignoring the discomfort that was added by the white noise a started banging my hands harder on the door. "LET ME OUT! I WANNA TALK TO THE FLOOR MANAGER. I WANNA SEE WHO'S IN CHARGE!" I started shouting at the top of my lungs.

"Shut up!" I another voice cut through the racket I was making, as a man in a white security uniform marched up to my door and slammed the butt of the gun on the bars of the window.

"Please, there's been a mistake!" I tried to reason.

The man laughed, in a way that just sounded like it was full of bad intentions. "Yeah, that's what they all say. Just sit back and relax. Your going to be here for a while." He walked away.

I backed up from the door, shocked. What were they going to do to me? I sat back on the bed, and lowered my head so I could cover my face with my hands. "I should have just stayed with Masky…." I mumbled dejectedly to myself.
