HEY! Computers working again! YAAAAAAAAYY! Here's another chapter 3

Chapter 9:

(Hoodie's POV)

That night we slept badly. Our stomachs seemed to be bent on reminding us on the fact that we hadn't had dinner. They cramped up constantly nagging us and telling us to get food.

Not only did my stomach hurt, but the bruise that Jeff had left had been throbbing on and off all night, refusing to let me forget it's presence. Needless to say, when we had to get to work in the morning.. we were NOT doing well. My legs felt as if they were gonna give way under me with every step I took.

I had to pause every so often to keep my legs from buckling. It seemed Jeff and BEN had woken up early too. Probably just to see us suffer. I could practically see them bringing out bags of popcorn and watching us with a demented laugh. I walked after Masky to the kitchen.

"God I'm hungry..." He groaned.

"I-I kn-know…" I stammered, after all of this abuse, I guess, I just got nervous a lot… Even around Masky… I always found myself stuttering. Masky pulled out cereal and cheesecake. "M-Masky w-we a-aren't a-a-allowed," I cried in a hushed whisper, my stupid stuttering made me sound like an idiot though.

"He's not awake. We'll be fine." He stuck his hand in the cereal box and shoved some in his mouth.

"B-but M-Masky," I whimpered, feeling fear slowly rise through the pit of my stomach.

"He won't be awake for another two hours Hoods." Masky said. I slowly nodded but didn't take anything… I didn't want to get in trouble again. Masky continued to eat the cereal, putting the cheesecake away. I looked around nervously, hoping no one would see him.

I flinched when I felt him wrap his arm around my waist and pull me closer. I felt his hand remove the bottom part of my mask and his hand push some cereal past my lips. He covered my mouth.

"Eat Hoods. You need the energy." I couldn't respond due to his hand over my mouth, so I chewed and swallowed obediently, I felt it drop in my stomach, giving it a little bit of relief, but in the same breath, it reminded me of how hungry I was. I began eating the cereal with him, feeling the hunger going away.

It felt so wrong, I knew it was wrong… But my stomach told me it was right… And I couldn't argue with that, so I continued until my hunger was satisfied. Then we quickly put the cereal away, pulling our masks back on and started making breakfast for everyone. My stomach full, I was able to focus a lot better, and I could make breakfast without burning or messing up anything, though I somehow knew they'd always find something about their meal to complain about. They always did. We set the table, putting the food on the table, making sure that everything was right. Since Slender would be upset if the table wasn't set correctly. Like the first time…

I shivered in remembrance of the tantrum he had thrown. And how I would have almost lost an eye if Slender's brothers hadn't calmed him down.

"Let's go before the others wake up," Masky's voice caught my attention. I nodded quickly.

I allowed him to guide me away to our room, we finished the morning chores and our afternoon chores hadn't been given to us by anyone yet so maybe we could knock of a nap… I was still exhausted from lack of sleep, I could already feel my eyelids drooping at the thought of sleep. I heard Masky yawning loudly, I guess I wasn't the only one thinking about sleep.

We walked into our room and closed the door behind us. We both collapsed on the bed, groaning.

"H-how m-much l-longer w-will we h-have t-to d-do this?" I asked Tim softly.

"I don't know..." He breathed.

"I… I h-hope it… it's soon…." I murmured. He nodded, tossing his mask aside and putting a hand over his eyes.

"I... need... sleep..." He groaned. I nodded in agreement, removing my own mask. I hugged his waist and leaned my head against his chest, yawning widely. He was so warm… I could feel his body heat radiating my skin as I pressed against his body. I closed my eyes and found myself falling asleep.

(Time Skip a couple of hours)

I awoke to the sound of snickering. I groaned softly and opened my eyes. My vision was blurry until my eyes adjusted to the lighting.

I glanced around the room until I saw a door which was cracked open, LJ stood there and was snickering as he glanced over at us, a cruel smirk stitched across his face. I looked at him in surprise, letting go of Masky and sitting up.

"Aww," he cooed mockingly "would you look at that," he leered. My eyes widened slightly, realizing what he was talking about. I quickly shook Masky awake. Masky grumbled softly obviously not wanting to wake up.

"Five more minutes…." He murmured, I felt him hug my waist and pull me back down. I squeaked slightly, hearing Jack snicker again.

"Oh ho~. I'm sure Slender'll will find this very interesting." He cackled.

"N-No p-please d-don't," I cried softly, anger mixed with an overpowering feeling of fear bundled up inside me, my chest felt tight...

"Oh? And why shouldn't I? Ain't my problem if he disposes of you." He smirked widely. Masky seemed to wake up now that he realized Laughing Jack was here.

"P-please d-dont! N-nothing was g-going on!" I pleaded.

"Didn't look like that to me." He grinned. "What normal people cuddle like that?"

"If you had to share a bed with someone, you'd accidently cuddle too," Masky pointed out.

"Didn't look like an accident to me." Jack cackled. "Ooh~! Slender's gonna like this~!" he laughed and walked away. We looked at each other.

"Fuck…" We both pulled on our masks and ran after him, we'd have to stop him before he got to slender. I was so scared, I didn't want to die... We ran to where Jack was going... but he'd beaten us there. Jack was already happily talking to Slender Man. Oh no… We looked at each other. Shit. We stopped and backed away slightly.

"Masky! Hoodie! Get over here right now!" Slender growled. We stiffened and stopped, slowly and reluctantly walking over to the faceless entity. "Jack, you may leave. I wish to speak to them. Alone." He said slowly and dangerously. Laughing Jack grinned widely and nodded, walking away gleefully. "What part of you are not allowed to be in love or have any attachments of the sort with anyone do you not understand!?" He challenged.

"W-We're sorry m-master." Masky stammered. I could tell from the strain in his voice that he was trying to think up an excuse "B-but w-we a-a-aren't…. W-we're j-just f-friends….." He murmured. "W-We d-did it s-subconsciously..." He added softly. "I s-swear….. W-we're just f-fr-friends…" I nodded quickly, resisting the urge to move closer to Masky. He sighed softly.

"I will be moving one of you to bunk with my newest proxy." He said.

"N-new p-proxy?" I asked softly.

"Yes. His name is Ticci Toby" Slender said. The faceless man looked behind him. "Come here Toby." He said. A boy around our age walked over, he twitched once, he was bloody and held a hatchet in his hand, blood dripping from its blade. He stood slightly behind Slender, as if he was shy. Slender put a hand on his shoulder. He had long messy brown hair and wore a tan hoodie with horizontal stripes which looked like thick rings on the sleeves. He also wore goggles with orange lenses and what looked like the bottom of a ski mask. He waved slightly with a gloved hand.

"H-hi." He twitched, cracking his neck.

"Hey," I muttered waving, "I'm Hoodie, and this is Masky," I introduced.

"Hoodie. You are going to share a room with Toby." Slender said. I nodded slowly, maybe I shouldn't have spoken… I didn't want to share a room with him… I wanted to be with Masky... Slender gently nudged Toby towards us. "Take him to the room across from Masky's room, that will be his new room" He said. We both nodded reluctantly.

I gestured for him to follow me. I shoved my hands into the pockets of my hoodie. Toby looked around curiously as he followed me.

"You're going to have to stay away from the pastas…. They aren't that friendly," I sighed.

"K-Kay." He twitched, nodding. I showed him to his room.

"This is your room…" I said opening the door, thankfully there were two beds, I wouldn't have to sleep beside him, thank god... Toby walked in.

"This is a-awesome." he said happily.

"H-have y-you n-never had a r-room l-like th-this before?" I asked curiously, if I was going to be his roommate, I might as well get to know him... He shook his head.

"No. I-I had a m-much smaller room." I nodded.

"Y-you c-can h-have whatever b-bed you w-want," I said with a shrug. Toby hopped onto one of the beds happily. "so…" I started awkwardly.

"What's u-up with you and that other guy?" He asked suddenly, twitching.

"Oh M-Masky's m-my best f-friend and Slender and th-the others th-think we're g-gay but we're not," I lied.

"Really? Well why is that a problem?" He asked.

"P-proxies a-aren't allowed to l-love a-anyone, it interferes w-with o-our jobs." I explained.

"Makes sense." Toby shrugged. He pulled off his mask and goggles. I nodded with a shrug.

"I guess…" I sighed. He threw the mask and goggles aside, yawning widely. I however kept my mask on. Only Masky has seen me without my mask.

"So is Hoodie you're real name or..."

"No. H-Hoodie is j-just m-my proxy Identity" I said.

"So what's your real name?" Toby asked.

"Brian." I said.

"Cool." He said. I nodded, maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I thought…
