Chapter 2

Tina sat by the dumpster, tears streaking her mud stained face as she made no attempt to cover herself from the rain. Her hair and face a mess, she decided to pick herself up and head home. After all it was a relatively short walk from where she was at.

She walked through the front door to find her mom and dad were still not home.

"Must have been the weather." She thought to herself. She dragged herself upstairs and relieved herself of her dress. She immediately threw it in the small trash can she had in the corner of her room. She brushed out the tangles in her hair then plopped down on the bed, tired and exhausted.

She looked at her phone, and immediately started crying. Somehow all the girls at the party had either a video or a photo of what Tiffany did. Tina threw her phone across the room, only she didn't hear a thud or crash. She immediately jumped up only to see the white hooded boy and the masked boy, only this time, the white hooded boy hood was down to reveal his face. He had semi-long hair, pale white skin, blackened eyes like they had been burnt, and a cuts from his lip line all the way to his cheek bone in an apparent smile.

She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. They could have lunged to kill her and she would have no way of alerting anyone. They boys stood there till Tina had calmed down. She took a deep breath, still shaky and asked the first question.

"Wh..who are you?" She asked shaking.

"Well ya see princess," said the black haired boy, "we can either be your lifeline, or your murderers. We'll let you decide on that one."

She almost wanted to scream. The masked boy slid his goggles down to his beck to reveal emerald green eyes that almost looked lifeless. She kept staring at them till he looked back at the black haired boy. Moments later he then turned back towards her.

"T-Toby..." he said. She looked confused but it then clicked into place.

"You, sweet cheeks, can call me Jeff." She could tell just by the way he talked he was the modest one. She didn't like his upity attitude. But the other one, this Toby boy. He was different. A small spark of a feeling she had never felt before started to burn into her chest. She placed her hand over her aching heart, and looked down, tears threatening to spill over and down her cheeks. She didn't want to cry in front of these two strangers, that would be weird.

"Wow sweetheart, what's got your face in twist?" She didn't answer, only sat there. Toby walked over and held out his hand.

"Come w-with us, we can m-make the pain go away." He held out his hand in saying so. She didn't know if she should trust the boys, but it would be way better then what was to come early the next morning. She accepted his hand. Toby pulled her off the bed and handed her a bag, with most of her personal belongings inside. She questioned how and why but didn't make any motive to start a fuss. Her parents would be home soon and she had no time to waste it on petty details.

They hurried downstairs and out the back door leading to the woods. She was a little scared, but didn't let it show. After hours and hours of walking, Jeff announced that they had made it, and this was her new home, and promptly pointed to a large, beat up mansion.

"This is slender mansion. Welcome to your new home. Sorry the old man isn't in right now, but so feel free to check out the surrounding area, just stay clear of the trails and paths. Don't want anyone knowing where we're at."

All Tina could do was nod her head. Toby began to walk off with Jeff when she stopped him.

"Actually...Toby could you come with me..? I still don't know the place all to well." She fidgeted with her jacket sleeves like a nervous 10 years old.

"S-sure.." he answered back.

They walked for a little ways saying nothing till they came up on an old pond that had a beat up old dock. She stared over the water, listening to the waves splash onto the shore, and the fish jumping in and out of the water catching there prey. It was relaxing to her. She took in a deep breath, and moved closer to Toby.

He fidgeted a little and the sudden movement of her, but then turned to leave. She followed next to him, but out of no where grabbed his hand and walked in turn with him. He kept a steely face, not wanted to show how embarrassed he was. She could tell he didn't really care because he grasped her hand back. Every so often, his hand twitched, and squeezed tighter then usual.

"Toby?"

"Y-yes?"

"Why do you twitch and tick? I just noticed it."

" w-was born with a disease, turrets, and I shake and twitch without knowing it. Dies it bother you?'

"No..I..I think it's kind of cute. I was born with two different colored eyes, wanna see?" This sparked his attention and they stopped. She took out the one colored contact that covered her gold eye. He must have thought he was seeing things because he removed his goggles and moved closer to her face, to where they were only an inch apart.

"That's a-amazing!." He held his pose there. Without any warning whatsoever, she kissed his lips. It was like she knew him before, and shared a personal bond with him from some other time. He didn't reject the kiss, only gasped a little. He pulled away, did a little shake of his head, then pulled her into a loving embrace.

"Wh-why did y-you do t-that?"

" I dunno, it felt familiar, like I've known you from somewhere, and we've met before. The memory it's faded, but your face, I remember it from a long time ago..."

With a sigh Toby answered back," Tina that's because, I'm a killer.."

She froze up." A-a killer!"

He didn't say anything, only backed away, then ran off into the dark woods.

"That's right," she giggled and looked down," Toby...Ticci Toby" she looked back up at the sky...

"Killers really do have hearts..."

Hey sorry about the long wait, this story kind of got away from me? I promise it won't happen again. Tell me what y'all think the next chapter should be!
