Toby led me to a room in the mansion. There was a bed, a dresser, a closet, and a desk.

"This is your room," he said.
He was almost about to leave me alone and close the door when I turned and stopped the door with my foot.
"Hold up. You have not told me one thing. Why am I here? Why can't I go home? And who or what the hell is everyone here?" I needed answers, I only got one. And I didn't like it.

"We'll explain it to you tomorrow night… Get some rest now, the sun's coming up," he said.

First off, why was I here? Why me? What was it about me that they need me to stay here?

I wasn't getting answers now, so I might as well just try to sleep a bit.

I woke up the next (night, I guess…) and went downstairs. The place was way too quiet for my liking. There wasn't any noise, but right after I thought that I heard running. They were getting louder and louder. I decided to pull out my dagger in defense. I saw someone running down the hall straight at me.

"Please you've got to help me!" he said, he had the looks of a balding, middle-aged man. He soon started to run again as he saw the two figures were still following him. The same two figures I met yesterday.
"Don't let him escape!" the one with the blue mask said.

I turned to where the man was running and threw my almost like a vertical frisbee. I didn't truthfully think about it, it was more of a reflex. The dagger landed in the back of his neck and he fell to the ground. The two grabbed and the one with the black eyes and red pupils stabbed him the heart with a crazy grin on his face. The man was dead after bleeding out, he sounded like he suffered.

"Thanks green-eyes," the one with the black eyes said.

"The name's Raven," I told him walking toward the dead man on the ground. I turned him over and pulled my dagger from his neck.

"Fast reflexes you have there," said the one with the blue mask.

"Thanks. What did this guy do anyway?"
"Nothing. He was just wandering around the woods and we got hungry," the black-eyed one said.

"Hungry?" I asked, "you're cannibals?"

"Not really," The one with the mask said, "cannibalism implies you eat your own kind," he laughed.

"We are not human though," he said.

"I see…" Curiosity got the better of me, I soon had the urge to join them in their meal.
"Care to join us? I only eat the kidneys so you and Ty can have the rest," he said.

I grinned, and agreed to join them for their meal.

Human. They taste better than I expected. A lot better than all the garbage I was fed throughout the years.

"Thank you for letting me join you," I said, "though, I never did truly catch both of your names."
"Eyeless Jack," the one with mask said, "Feel free to just call me Jack or EJ."

"And I would be The Cannibal," the one with the black eyes said.
"Call him Ty, it's less of a bother," Jack said laughing. Ty glared at him and his laughter. I smiled, these guys weren't all that bad.

I got up from the table we were sitting at and cleaned off the dried blood on my dagger.

"Hey, do you guys know why I'm here?" I wanted to see if they knew anything.
"You mean you don't even know why you're here?" Jack said.

"No, no one will tell me anything."
"Who did you ask?" Ty said.

"Toby."
They both looked at each other with an annoyed look on their face.

"Ticci Toby?" Jack asked.

"I guess…" Ticci? Why was he called that?
"Sweetheart he's a total dunce. Don't take advice from him."

"I'll do what I want, I make my own decisions thank you very much."
They both gave me a 'whatever' look. I'm not taking advice from anyone. I'll do what I think is right on my part.

I soon went out into the yard, I checked my watch to see it was almost midnight. I thought about what Blake might've been doing. probably crying like a baby about my disappearance. I laughed. Good fucking riddance.
"What are you laughing at?" I heard a small girlish voice. I turned toward the voice, there was a small girl, brown wavy hair, pink dress, bright green eyes like mine, she was holding a small teddy bear and had blood dripping down her face. I thought to myself that one of the guys did that to her. I felt the need to help her out and protect her, she was only a child anyway. Why take the innocence of one.

"Are you alright?" I asked kneeling down to her height. I grabbed some tissues from my pocket and tried to stop the bleeding on her forehead. She only giggled.
"Yes I'm fine," she said pushing my now bloodied hand away.
"Your head is bleeding."
"I know, it always is."
I felt the need to ask why, but then again, maybe she wasn't human either.

"Alright then," I said standing up, putting the bloody tissues in my pocket.

"Play with me!" she said excitedly
"Alright," I agreed, "what shall we play?"

She soon grabbed me by the arm and dragged me to the back of the house. There was a small little table with a tea set on it. She motioned for me to sit down, the chairs were too small for me, so I just sat on the ground. She was a sweet little girl.
"I'm Raven by the way," I thought to introduce myself.

"I'm Sally!" she said with a smile, "it's nice to have a friend now, none of the guys here wanna play with me, and Jane and Nat are always busy…"
Jane and Nat? There were more (people?) here?

"I'm glad I found you though!"

I smiled, I never had a little sister before, I imagined this is what it'd be like.

I soon heard my name being called. I turned to sound of the voice and saw Toby.

"T-there you are," he said in relief.

"Hey," I said starting to get up.

"Slender is ready to explain everything."
"No way Toby! She's playing with me!" Sally said in a childish argumentative voice.
"She can play later," he said bending down putting his hands on his knees, "right now she needs to go see Slendy."
She made a pouty face accepting her defeat. Toby then motioned for me to follow him.

"Hey Toby…" I wanted to ask him about what I heard earlier. "Is your name Ticci Toby?"
"Yeah...it is," he said.
"Oh."
"Who told you?"
"Jack and Ty."
"Idiots, don't listen to a word they say."
Didn't they say the same thing about him?
"I'm called T-ticci Toby because I occasionally tic."
"Oh…"
"The kids used to call me that because of my Tourette syndrome."
"That sucks, I'm sorry."
"It's alright… Raven?"
"Hm?"
"No matter what you're are about to hear, please stay, you're one of the few people who actually tolerate me.."
What were going tell me? What did they need from me? What did they want from me? Why was I here? I needed these answers before I make my judgement.
"Toby, I'll do my best to want to stay here… but if I don't like what I hear I cannot stay," I said frankly. He nodded. I followed him inside the mansion and followed him to a room. He knocked once and opened the door for me.

I had no idea what to expect.

Ooh look I wrote this thing x3 Seriously though, I am getting way too busy now, and I'm going to have to keep up with my work. This is going to be left untouched for now, at least until I know I'm fully organized with everything. Reading assignment, college essay, it's a whole mess. I'll be gone for a while but I hope you keep reading and don't be afraid to message me! I will be on every now and then, I just can't type up stories right now... I hope you understand. Thank you my loyal readers :)
