Masky's POV:
After I was sure Levi, was in a deep sleep, and no one was going to come through the door, I had decide to empty the cabinet in the room. Finding that it held contents similar to when I first met Levi, the only difference, there was a bottle with one pill in it and a note that said 'Choose!'. Seriously these humans still thought I needed these pills. What a laugh! I had long since given in to my Sickness. Slendey had spared me and granted me the gift of being his Proxy. I haven't regret the choice ever since that day.
My eyes shifted back to Levi, who since my departure from the bed, was groaning in his sleep from pain and discomfort of the Slender Sickness, destroying his sanity. I grinned. He was so far gone, earlier, I wonder if he was aware of responding to my kiss. To gripping me closer. It was all in selfishness; his actions were. I knew that the Sickness lessened when around Slendey or any other Proxy. After all, it wasn't any fun hunting prey, if they could not comprehend to some level, that they were about to die. If I give him this pill, he may reject me. He hasn't regained his memory back yet of our first meeting. At the moment, I wasn't sure if I wanted him to remember anymore. I no longer wanted to hunt him. I wanted to keep him. And it wouldn't do if he tried to escape me. I pocketed it.
I was in the process of covering up the mirror, much like in the form that we use to escape the last time, when he started screaming in absolute pain and fear. I didn't hurry over to him. It was just the Slender Sickness eating away at his sanity. He would be fine.
Levi's POV:
Drifting in and out of sleep, I felt Masky leave me, but sleep would not allow me to awake; My eyes were just too heavy. I could barely hear him moving around the room. Somehow, I knew he was constructing a way for us to escape. We were going to escape this room. We would obscure the view of whoever was watching us through the mirror. We would then somehow, find a way to trick the men in white uniforms to open the door for us, allowing us to escape this room. I didn't care anymore, as long as Masky was near to keep the Slender Sickness away, till I found some pills, I would follow his lead.
"Llleeevviii~" Bonnies and Freddy's voice singsong.
I groaned. Masky needed to come back. They were back.
"We know you can hear us~" Bonnie's voice, whispered in my ear.
Where was Masky? I needed him. I tried to close my ears to their voice. I never thought I would hate to sound of my two bests friends voice, but I do.
"Don't ignore us.~" Freddy whispered in my other ear.
"You can't escape us.~" Bonnie added.
I opened my eyes, I wasn't in the room with Masky anymore, but I was still in the bed. I was back in the woods, the trees had no leaves and there was a deep fog surrounding everything. Bonnie and Freddy stood on either side of my bed. Their skin was gray now, and falling off their body. Their whole appearance had changed. Bonnie was still in her purple dress, but it had red electric guitars on the skirt and she had bunny ears on top of her head. It almost looked liked a Halloween costume she had wore one year. Freddy had also changed too. His suit was brown complete with a bow tie and top hat, with bear ears sticking out from it. They look creepier now in their past Halloween costumes. They looked liked creepy and spooky zombies. They no longer acted like my friends any more. Their voice held malice and they seemed to enjoy my discomfort.
"You will join us soon.~" Freddy, chuckled, hand coming to touch me, but stopped a few inches from my cheek. He grinned wider.
"Don't you want to join us?~" Bonnie pouted, it wasn't a real pout, it was a fake pout.
I shook my head no.
"Yes you do~" Freddy chided.
"You'll be just like us~." Bonnie said, a crooked grin spreading on her face.
"You'll lose your sanity….~" Freddy said.
"And we'll finally be together again.~" Bonnie finished for him.
I shook my head again.
"Don't you like us anymore?~" Bonnie asked.
"Don't you want to know who killed us?" Freddy asked.
Yes, I would like to know who killed them, but how was an illusion of my brain going to help my find out who killed them. It was impossible.
"It's not impossible, Levi~" Bonnie said.
"Yes. You already know who killed us.~" Freddy said.
"But will he choose to save you?~" Bonnie wandered out loud, her eerie look sending shivers down my spine.
"Or let you slip away?~" Freddy chuckled.
I curled up, bring my hands to cover my ears. That's when I felt wetness on my hands. Taking them away from my ears, I looked at them.
"Oh, that's not good.~" Bonnie smiled, gripping my hand, covered in blood.
"It will be soon now.~" Freddy said.
What?! I was bleeding from my ears! Just like Alexis, before she died! I sat up, bring both hands up to my face, not believing my eyes. This isn't real! It can't be real! Masky was just here beside me. Where was Masky! How did I end up back in these woods?!
I looked back to Bonnie and Freddy, but Freddy had moved to stand beside Bonnie, and behind them stood the one creature I kept seeing. The tall, white faceless man in a suit, stood just behind them, his head angle at me. Goosebumps formed on my skin.
"You will belong to him soon~" Bonnie and Freddy said, together, heads tilting to the side.
"Your doing this aren't you?" I accused the faceless creature.
He didn't move. White noise started filling my eardrums. The world around us started glitching out, even Bonnie and Freddy started glitching in and out.
"Answer me! It all you, isn't it? Get out of my head!" I shouted.
Bonnie and Freddy vanished, and the faceless man lurched at me, gripping my forearms. "LeVi" It said my name in the most menacing voice, with no mouth. I screamed from fright and instantly struggled to get away. As if it wasn't frightening enough. The skin where a mouth should have been ripped and formed a mouth exposing piercing sharp teeth. "LleeVii.." It said, again with it new skin ripped mouth. Coming closer, grip tightening on my arms.
"NNNnnnnoooo!" I screamed.
"Levi, wake up!"
"NO! Leave me alone!" I started kicking, yet hitting nothing. "Masky, help me!" I cried.
"Levi, focus." I was pulled into a crushing hug, stopping my movements. "Its me. Masky. Open your eyes." The white noise stopped.
"Masky?" I cracked and eyelid open.
Masky's face was so close to mine. "Yes, its me." He said.
I took in deep breathes. Even though Masky was close now, the wall behind him, was flashing from painful white wall, to creepy trees from the woods, so fast, I was glad I didn't have epilepsy.
"Everything will be fine." Masky said, letting me, go.
I didn't want him to move away from me, so I clutched for dear life at the front of his jacket.
He chuckled at my action, but I didn't find how any of this was humorous. I was loosing my mind at this very second. "You trust me, right?" He asked, prying my hand off his jacket.
I nodded my head. I mean if my memory was correct, then we had been in this situation before, right?
"Good. Not that you really have a choice." He smirked, going to a pile of stuff the was on the floor. He picked up two needles filling them up with clear liquid and pocketing them. Some how, I knew it was anesthesia he was filling them with. He slipped both hammers in his belt loop, and pocketed one of the knives. He tossed me the matches, pointing to the couch. "Light in on fire." He said, already pushing the bed at an angle by the door.
I looked toward the mirror, but it was covered up by blankets. This was so familiar, that it almost scared me. "Masky?…..Have I been here before?" I asked.
"Shut up and do as your told, Levi. We've no time for stupid questions." He grunted, as he positioned the bed.
I nodded again. The white noise picked back up again as I approached the couch. Bonnie and Freddy were sitting on it, smiling at me, as I struck the match.
"Hope you can run Levi.~" Freddy said, lounging back, an arm stretched out behind Bonnie. He had his head tilted, the decaying skin on his neck was ripping at the posture of his body.
"We're going to get you.~" Bonnie giggles, laying her head on Freddy's shoulder, blood was leaking from her eyes.
I tried to steady my hand that held the match, so I could light the couch and them on fire, without burning myself. They watch with obvious glee.
"BOO!" They both lurched forward at me, merging together to form the white faceless man in a suit. I screamed and dropped the match on the couch, effectively lighting it on fire.
"Get over here." Masky said, coming to drag me over to the bed he had pushed nearer to the door. Pushing down, so that we were hidden, just as the alarm started blaring. The doors were practically kicked off the hinges, as men in white uniforms, flooded into the room. Some going to put out the fire and the rest busted down the other door in the room. Masky pulled me with him as he ran out of the room, closing the doors behind us, locking the men in the smoke filled room. Red lights flashed in the hallway, combined with the white noise, pain was erupting all in my brain. Briefly Freddy and Bonnie flashed in front of me laughing as they burned, before vanishing again. 'Make it stop!' Masky was practically dragging me behind him. Turning and navigating the confusing hallways, till he finally turned a corner and pressed me against the opposite wall, putting his finger to his lips, signaling for me to be quiet.
I nodded, wincing as the walls around me flashed to trees, then back to wall. Masky disappeared back the way we came. Grunts and curses sound, along with thuds. I knew those sounds were bodies hitting the floor, but I checked anyway to make sure Masky was okay. I didn't want to lose him, he lessened the Sickness. He was standing over the bodies, of four men, one with a needle in his neck, the other three bludgeoned to death by the hammer Masky held in his hand, their blood painting the too white floor, and splattered on Masky, who looked very pleased with himself. He quickly grabbed my wrist again and began running again. It was then that I realized that part of the hallway we would pass, had double door, that were starting to close automatically. We barely made it through one. "Damn it!" Masky cursed, picking up speed. Any faster and he would literally be dragging me, my legs were already about to give out. "Faster, Levi!"He urged.
I tried. I really tried, but I wasn't an athlete. I was a lazy introvert that played too many game on his laptop for fun. There was literally no way, I could make my legs move any faster, especially when all I wanted to do was collapse.
Masky's POV:
Levi was dragging behind. I had to tighten my grip around his wrist, so in case he fell I would still be able to pull him along, it would be tedious, but by being a Proxy, I was slightly stronger than other humans. If he didn't want to be dragged, he better keep his footing and ignore images his disintegrating sanity was showing him. Those images weren't going to get him out of here; I was. I hope Slendy let's me keep him human. Levi wouldn't make a good Proxy. That left the question though. What was he good for?
I already knew.
He would be mine, and be a source of light for me. To pull me out of the darkness that seemed to swallow me up at times. Stress relief. A needed distraction. A companion. Yes, he would be and was all of those.
I took a quick glance back, to check on Levi. His eyes were wide and unfocused again, his mind lost to the illusion of his disintegrating sanity. At least his body was still moving. He would be fine. I refocused back to the hallway ahead of us, searching for the room I knew held my mask. It was always the same room number; that it was almost funny thinking that these were the people hunting us down. They were just so stupid and repetitive.
"M-Masky…." I took a glance back again, at the sound of my name, but when he said nothing else I just shrugged it off.
'Ah, there.' I smirked, as I spotted the room number and sign on an upcoming door. Room 315: Evidence and Conduits.
Yanking the door open, and dragging Levi in behind me, made sure to close it, and pushed him against it placing him in a crouched position. I looked into his eyes one more time. They were still unfocused. Guess he wasn't going to be looking out for passer byers this time. Sigh, I went to walk away. I didn't really need him to listen out for me, I could hear just fine, maybe even better than Levi. I only took one step, when I felt my arm tugged backwards.
I looked back down at Levi, who held my hand in a death grip. "M-Masky….." I scoffed, when he again said nothing else. We didn't have time for this. I started to pry his hand off.
Finally free, I started searching the shelves for my mask. I will admit, these guys didn't leave it out in the opening like before. I was going to have to really search for it.
"Masky….."
I ignored him, I knew he wouldn't say anything more, except my name at this point. I was busy listening and searching for my missing mask. I was beginning to think that maybe I was wrong and they hadn't put my mask here after all. It was taking too much time to find it.
"Masky…."
"What Levi?" I growled, frustrated, turning back to him. He was looking at something behind me. I turned to see what had his attention, but seen nothing.
"Watch out for them…." He said, his eyes now moving frantically around the room, but seeing not the room, but something else.
I didn't hear anyone near the room yet, so we were still safe. "What do you see Levi?" I said, kneeling in front of him, indulging his unstable sanity.
"Woods….Dolls….F-f-f~..." He rambled, not able to finish, reaching to grip my wrist as a source of comfort. I let him. "The faceless man in the suit….He's coming to get me!….Don't let him get me!..." He finally continued, becoming panicked, scrambling to get closer to me, making too much noise.
"Levi. Levi!" I said, sternly gripping his chin, and bring his face close to mine, silencing and stopping his panicked movements. "Hush." I whispered, gazing into his wide panicked eye, they were focusing a little. "Hush. Everything is fine." I pecked his lips, never taking my eyes off him. "Don't fight him." I said, nuzzling my face into the side of his neck.
Levi sobbed silently, his hands never loosing their grip.
I smirked as I nibbled on his ear. "Your so beautiful, like this Levi. I don't think I want to save your sanity." I mumbled, just enjoying another moment with my Levi. Absentmindedly, I slipped my hand into my pocket, rolling that one pill around with my fingers. It wasn't too late to save his sanity. But why would I want to do that. Yeah, he was suffering at the moment, but I could get Slendy to fix that. Once all his sanity was gone, there wouldn't be a risk of him pushing me away. Not with the bond and trust that was forming between us. He knew….He needed me, now.
"Do you think they went in there?" A irritating male voice, that belong to one of the annoying people who brought us here sounded outside the door.
"Maybe…." Said another. Prey trying to be predator, is what we liked to call them.
I gritted my teeth in annoyance, that my moment with Levi was interrupted. I quickly, pulled him to the back or the room and had him sit against the far wall, in plain view, should they open that door. "Stay here. I'll chase the monsters away." I said, caressing his cheek, trying to not add to his panic state. He nodded his understanding. Good. Not too far gone that he couldn't hear me. I smirked as I gripped a hammer, and made a shushing sound, when Levi stated whimpering as I backed away from Levi, placing myself behind a shelf, near enough so I could still see him and the door.
The door swung open and immediately, their eyes landed on Levi, who was sitting like a good boy. The two prey descended upon him immediately not even bothering to look around the rest of the room. 'That's it. Take the bait.' I smirked.
Levi's POV:
One minute I would be in the building being dragged down a hallway by Masky, then the next I would be back in the woods that had creepy dolls stuck in the wood of the trees, facing the faceless man. Every time I returned here, the faceless man would move closer and closer to me. The ripped skin that formed its mouth spread in a slight smile that showed his pointed teeth. He had not made a moved anymore, now he just had his arms crossed, with one finger tapping in a slow rhythm, like he was waiting patiently for me to do something. It was creeping me out. I could still feel that Masky was holding my hand, but I couldn't see him. That terrified me.
"M-Masky…." I called in slight whispered not taking my eyes off the smiling faceless man. Hopefully, the sound of Masky's voice would snap me out of this. I rather be back in the hallway.
I didn't get a reply.
"I don't want to be here…." I sobbed. Not daring to move.
"It wOn't Be loNg." The faceless man said, his voice accompanied by white noise. "Its A gAme, YOu seE."
"A-A game?" I repeated. "Who are you?" I asked, trying to remember everything Alexis had told me about the Creepypasta's, but I was so scared I could even remember a single word. I believe this guy was the Slenderman.
"YoU aRe CorRecT, cHiLd. I Am tHe Slenderman."
I gasped out, no longer holding my breath; I hadn't even noticed I stopped breathing till then. He tilted his head, as if studying me, even with no eyes.
"Your feAr is DeliCIous….I See wHy Masky liKeS yoU…The PerFEct giFt..." He stood silent for a moment, a pale white hand moving to his chin as if considering something. "….I sEe….ThAt's toO bAd….MaYbe yoUr arE noT WorTHy beIng aROund him…Or us..." He moved a step closer.
"Yes, Levi...~" Bonnie giggled somewhere in the darkness of the woods.
"You are delicious.~" Freddy joined her.
I couldn't see them, but it seemed like their voices came closer with the Slenderman. I didn't want him anywhere near me. "S-Stay Awa-..." The words barely escaped past my mouth as I back away in a hurry.
He grinned, and it looked menacing with all those pointed teeth and ripped skin. "DOn'T worry Child….No mAttEr whAt hE chOoseS….I will bReaK yOu qUickLy….." He chuckled.
"M-Mmasky..." I called for him again. I wanted him to snap me out of this.
"Yes, soon we will see Masky too.~" Bonnie said, full of glee.
'What Levi?' Came his reply, but he sounded to far away.
I had to let him know about this new threat. They were going to go after him next. "Watch out for them…." I said, gulping as Bonnie and Freddy started laughing.
"Aw~" Bonnie cooed.
"Isn't that sweet.~" Freddy said.
'What do you see, Levi?'
That's right he couldn't see what I was seeing. My eyes were trying to watch everything, I flinched when I noticed the Slenderman was gone. I looked around me, spinning in a circle, before I spotted him. He was bending down to my level, grin still on his face. "TelL hIm, ChiLd….TeLl hIm, wHat yoU sEe?…
I grabbed my head as the white noise got worse, the more they continued to talk. This was too much. Too much! Too much! TooMuch!TooMuch!TooMuch!TOOMUCH!….
…

Slenderman's POV:
….
I tapped my chin in thought as we watch Masky and the child from Smile Dog's laptop. Hoodie sat beside me, holding Masky's mask, watching intently to every movement they made. Masky had not yet decide to save the child's sanity. Maybe he preferred him like us. Not that I would make Levi a proxy, he was useless to me. I would only gift him if Masky decided he wanted him in the end. I caught L.J. and Jeff eyeing me, so I tilted my head toward them in a silent question. I didn't want to miss everything that was about to happen with Masky and the child. I found this better than thos horrible television shows, Tobi and L.J. liked to watch.
"Your terrifying." L.J. complamented.
"Fuck, Slendy! Is that really how you torture your victims." Jeff asked.
I turned my head back tot he screen.
"The child is too timid." Hoodie aknowledged.
I nodded.
"What the hell does that mean?" Jeff grunted returning his attention back to the screen.
"It mean Slendy isn't even trying to scare him." Ben said. "Masky hasn't given him the pill. The kids psych is fragile at the moment. Slendy would break him at this moment if he was trying."
"So, Masky's letting him descend into madness." L.J. chimed in.
"That sounds correct." Smile Dog said.
Tobi chewed on one side of his cheek. "So w-w-what happens if h-he chooses to n-n-not give the k-kid the p-p-pill?" He asked.
I straightened my posture to look at them all, crossing my arms.
"He will no longer exist, sanity wise. Slendy will break him, and leave him as a doll, to help ensure that Masky will know the kid will never leave this forest." Hoodie mumbled, focused on the screen.
"So, we're waiting to see if Masky trusts him?" Sally asked, from my lap.
I nodded.
"If he gives the kid the pill, he will be spared from the sickness, but will live with us." Ben said, no longer interested in Masky's predigiment, but the shiny eevee on his 3DS. "If Masky trusts him not to run, Slendy, will let the kid keep his sanity. He will be able to travel with Masky, instead of being a mindless doll."
"Oh," Sally said, catching on. "i hope Masky trusts him. Levi is fun to play with." She said, shifting in my lap and getting comfortable.
I slapped L.J.'s approaching hand away, catching him in the act of trying to poke Sally in the side. Then returned my attention back to the screen. I too was curious what fate Masky would choose for the child. 'Better than any soup-opera.'
