Chapter 6: The Truth

(Tim's POV)

When I awoke… I was in a bed… Not my own… In fact, I had no idea of where I was, all I know is this place was abandoned, the wall paper was torn and drooping from the walls and the flooring was stained with mysterious liquids, probably some kind of sewage or alcohol. I looked around

in bleary confusion. Where the bloody hell am I?

"H-hello?" I called, sitting up on the mattress.

"I see you're finally awake." A voice that seemed to echo in my mind said. I turned my head to the door, gasping softly when I saw the faceless man. I back up against the wall.

"Who are you!?" I asked frantically.

"I am known as Slender Man." The man replied.

"Where am I? What do you want with me?" I asked, pressing myself against the wall.

"You are my proxy, you agreed to become my proxy if I saved Hoodie. And you are in my woods in a cabin I keep for new proxies so the rest of the pastas won't kill you while you're asleep" he explained. I blinked at him in surprise.

"Uh... okay..." I said slowly.

"Now, I will be leaving you here for a few days with Hoodie so he can explain what it is to be proxy. I would tell you myself, but there seems to be a…. situation… That I need to handle." he said.

"o-okay." I nodded, trying to slow my heart rate. Suddenly, a familiar head peaked in.

"I-Is h-he awake m-master?" BRIAN! HE'S ALIVE! Joy flooded through me.

"Yes Hoodie. Now I must leave. Take care of him." The tall faceless man told my Brian.

"Y-yes master." Hoodie nodded, walking fully into the room.

"I'll be back in a few days." Slender Man said before leaving. Hoodie watched him leave then, once the faceless man was gone, he ran to me and glomped me tightly. I hugged him tightly feeling my tears of joy fall down my cheeks.

"Oh Brian!" I cried happily. He tightened his grip on me.

"Do me a favor Tim..." He said softly. "Next time I run, don't try to catch me. My neck still hurts from that fall." He looked up, pulling his mask off so I could see him pouting slightly. I smiled and nodded, I looked deep into those beautiful eyes. "Oh! I have something for you." He said suddenly, pulling something out of his pocket. "Here." I took it from him, seeing that it was a white mask with black eyes and lips. I set it down, and I cupped his face with my hands before I pressed my lips against his closing my eyes tightly. His emerald eyes widened slightly, then closed as he kissed me back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my heart floated and pounded at the same time, a feeling I couldn't understand drove me to pull him closer, I had missed him so much... We pulled back after a while, still hugging each other close.

"Brian… I… I love you Brian…" I breathed.

"I... I love you too Tim..." He said softly, looking up at me with a blush on his pale cheeks. I smiled and kissed him again on his perfect lips, my heart fluttering with joy. I felt his plump lips caress my own, his soft skin was warm… I loved him so much... We stayed like this for a few more minutes, before he pulled back from me. "We have to keep this a secret... no one can know about this Tim." He said softly.

"What? Why?" I asked in confusion.

"Master doesn't let his proxies have relationships. We can't let him know or we'll be in really big trouble." Brian said, his fingers gripping my hand tightly. I nodded, I could see how much this meant to him by looking in those perfect green eyes. I nodded slightly.

"Okay... we'll keep it a secret." I assured him. He let out a sigh of relief, I felt him loosen his grip on my hand a bit in relief. He stood, helping me to my feet.

"We should get to work now. You have a lot to learn and only a few days to learn it." Brian said, pulling his mask and hood back on. I nodded and held his hand, honestly all I wanted to do was hug and snuggle him and kiss him, tell him how much he meant to me, but this is much better than him being dead. He took the mask I put to the side and offered it to me. "You have to put it on. You're lucky... my vision is all red and you get clear view." I could clearly tell by his tone that he was pouting again.

"I wish I could see your pouty face, you have no idea how cute you are when you pout," I purred, my happy spunky move returning to me. His head lowered slightly.

"I'm not cute..." He murmured timidly. I chuckled softly, he was especially cute when in denial

"Oh yes you are Brian, you're as cute as a chocolate lab puppy with a tophat," I mused, cupping his cheeks with my palms, despite his mask, I could still feel his warmth through the black cloth. I felt his cheeks heat up. He was blushing. I chuckled softly. I kissed where his lips were gently I saw a strand of black hair that poked out from beneath his mask, gently I brushed it beneath his hoodie with my fingertips. I then pulled my own mask over my face. "Well then. Let's get started."

Over the next few days, Brian drilled me on what I had to do to be a proxy. He made me memorize something called the proxy pledge and taught me everything I had to know. And boy did I hate it… But… I did it for Brian... He also began telling me about the residents at Slender Man's mansion.

"I haven't really been there yet, but master told me about everyone I had to watch out for." He told me. And man... these people sounded nuts. Apparently, the ones we especially had to watch out for were Jeff the Killer, Eyeless Jack, and Laughing Jack. "Oh yeah, and don't play Majora's mask… Ben drowned comes out of that one… And he's psychopathic too as far as I know." He added.

"Right then... we're gonna live with psychopaths... fun." I said sarcastically.

"Ya…" He sighed.

"Anyway... when's Slender supposed to get here?" I asked boredly, leaning my head back. Brian shrugged.

"He said he was coming back today..." He said softly. "He should be coming here soon," Brian sighed.

I only nodded, I knew I couldn't hug or snuggle him because if I did, and Slenderman came… We were SO DEAD. So I couldn't make any physical contact to him besides friendly friend contact. Suddenly, Brian perked up.

"He's here." He said, hopping down from our perch on a tree branch. I jumped down too, though I didn't see him anywhere... I trusted Brian's opinion and followed him. Soon enough, the faceless man came into view, standing in the middle of two trees, waiting. "Hello Master," Brian greeted the Slender man. I nodded, not really willing to call him 'master' just yet.

"Did you tell my new proxy, what it is to be a proxy?" Slender asked. Hoodie nodded.

"Yes Master. I did." He said.

"Good," Slender said. "His new name shall be Masky." Masky? Well... suppose that's fitting since I'm wearing a mask. "Now then. We have to go back home." He said, before turning and walking away. Hoodie and I followed him quickly. We looked at each other, we hadn't been to this home yet, well at least I was pretty sure Hoodie hadn't been there before. After a while, we reached a very large mansion.

"Woah." I whispered. It looked old as crap and like something from an old horror novel. Slender Man opened the door, entering the mansion with us close at hand. It was quite impressing on the inside. But… I was also a bit scared… I saw people… No… Creatures with cut faces, bloodied clothing eyes, jagged teeth and disturbing features. I felt Brian tremble slightly beside me. It was clear he was trying to keep down his fear.

"Who the hell are these two?" A pale faced teenager with a carved smile asked, pointing a knife in our direction.

"My new proxies. Hoodie, and Masky," He said gesturing to them.

"I bet they have wonderful kidneys." A man in a blue mask said, cleaning a scalpel as he talked. I glared at the man.

"No." Slender said sternly.

"Dammit..." the man in the blue mask muttered. Hoodie sighed in relief. I would have told him that I'd protect him if Slendy wasn't there.

"So. We have to put up with them now?" A man with a strange pointed nose and strange black and white clothing. The tall man sighed exasperatedly.

"Yes…" He said. The monochrome man shrugged.

"As long as they don't bother me I'm cool with it." He shrugged.

"Jeff, their room is down at the end of the east hall, show them to their room" He said.

"Why do I have to do it?" Jeff asked.

"Because you're already here and you've known this place the longest, besides myself of course," Slender said. Jeff groaned.

"Fine..." He muttered, standing while twirling his knife in his fingers. "C'mon. Follow me." He grumbled. We nodded and followed him. He led us through the many hallways until he reached a door with a mark that looked like a giant red circle with an X through it.

"That's Slender's symbol," Hoodie explained to me.

"This is your room." Jeff said, walking away. Though he stopped suddenly and looked back at us. "Here's a warning little proxies. Don't get on anyone's bad side. Don't leave your room at night. And don't do anything stupid. There are a lot of ways you can die here." And with that, he walked away.

Brian and I locked gazes. We knew… This was going to be hard…
