‘When are they going to be ready?!’

  ‘You have to be patient Sally’

‘H-hurry up, w-woman!’

  ‘If you keep saying that I’m going to throw them out the window.’ You warn.

   Today has dawned a really good day. After you were woken up by a smiling Sally, you followed her down along with a still-sleeping Jeff and had breakfast with the rest of the family. Trying to keep out of your mind what had happened a few days back with Evan, as well as what Toby did –he was punished severely by Slenderman himself and beaten to bits by Jeff- you tried your best to smile and have a good time along with the others, even if inside of you, you were crying. The fact didn’t change; you had killed an innocent man. He was innocent to you, but in the eyes of Justice he was as guilty as the others, because he did nothing to prevent the wrong-doing. Still, you couldn’t help but say that if it really was your call, you would have left him live. But that couldn’t be the case in this situation. Because the haunting image of Cady, plagued your dreams once in a while, warning you that each and every one should pay for the crime and if anyone was about to slide, you would fail to find peace.

    So after you were done with breakfast, you went to Slenderman’s office and explained in many details what had happened with Evan. The faceless man seemed to be understanding, letting you talk undisturbed and only asking a few questions about what would your next movements be.

  You explained to him that you wanted to protect his family whatever the cost and keep them safe from any danger. You owned them that. And nothing would stand in your way to accomplish it. Only when the family would be totally safe, you would continue to hunt down the rest of the killers. That was because if they somehow discovered that Evan had revealed to you the names of the remaining killers, it was a high possibility that the family would be in immediate danger. There was no way in hell you would risk that for anything in the world.

  Slenderman pacified you that the family would be safe no matter what, and he gave you his word on it, making you sigh in relief. He would personally make sure that the family won’t be in need of anything ever again, as well as they would be completely safe and continue on with their lives undisturbed. So you shouldn’t worry yourself too much. You had done what was lawfully right and what was done, was already done.
Slenderman was not oblivious to your worry.

 He saw very clearly that guilt and sadness were eating you alive from the time you came back from the last killing spree and he wanted nothing else than to relieve you from your pain. You were one of his beloved daughters and seeing you in such condition only pained him more than the pain you felt. He had come across this kind of troubles in the past too, especially when Jeff joined them and he had to deal with the whole pain of killing his own family. It was a terrible situation, that wasn’t even close to what you had done, so he dismissed you with the promise that he would take care of everything and that you should go and relax, shaking the guilt off from you.

   Thus, here you are now trying to make waffles for the family, trying to get things out of your mind.

 Thrilled doesn’t even begin to describe the joy both Sally and Toby felt as you announced you were going to make waffles. Both of them jumped up and down and Toby even lifted you up in a bear hug and spun you around, completely ignoring Masky and Hoody that tried to free you before you’d suffocate. Toby and Sally insisted on coming along with you and you had agreed after one point, only to completely regret it a few moments later.

  Not only where they picky and didn’t shut their mouths even for a millisecond, they also messed around with what you were doing. If they were trying to help, you really wouldn’t mind, but when they tried to sabotage the whole thing out of ignorance, only made you make the windows in the kitchen creak from your loud yells, as you made them sit on two chairs right across from where you were, completely away from the waffle mixture. And as a result, you had a major headache.

  ‘Hey ______! Hey _______! Hey _____! Hey _______! Hey ______! Hey _____! Hey ______! Hey ________!’

  ‘Toby it’s hard to think when you do that.’

‘I-I know k-kitty.’

‘Then why are you continuing it?’ you say as you stir the mixture.

 ‘B-because it’s fun!’

‘Just leave _____ alone Toby. You’re giving her a headache.’ You immediately recognized Clocky’s voice and soon after, the brunette killer walked inside the kitchen, throwing stern looks to both Toby and Sally, putting her arms on her waist‘Isn’t it enough that she’s making something for you? Be grateful.’ She scolds the two of them lightly.

  ‘Okay…’

‘W-we won’t bother y-you _____ again.’

 ‘Good.’ The clock-eyed female turns to you with a light smile ‘You want help?’

‘Yeah. Can you cut the bananas?’ you smile back at her as she grabs one of the knives and proceeds to really help you out, throwing glances to the man and child that were now really silent at the other edge of the table. Toby didn’t even raise his head to look at the two of you and you swore that his cheeks were a little bit rosier than before.

  ‘So what’s up Clocky?’ you say.

She shrugs ‘Nothing. Jane wanted me to tell you that we’ll have a Ladies Night on Christmas night.’

 ‘What do you mean?’

‘We’ll go out just the three of us.’

‘Oh! Can I come too? Please, please, please!!!’ Sally exclaimed, excited.

  ‘Sorry kiddo, it’s for grownups.’ The girl says.

‘No fair! _____ can you please take me?’

  ‘You heard what Clocky said Sally. I can’t take you, sorry.’ You say to the little girl that pouts and says nothing ‘But where will we go?’

 Clockwork smiles ‘We’ll hit town that night.’

 ‘W-Well, ladies, I t-think y-you’ll need a g-guide.’ Toby says with a I’m-the-boss-of-the-town tone in his voice, stretching his back and cracking his neck.

  You open your mouth to answer him, but Clockwork is faster than you.

‘Calm your pants Toby. Only girls are allowed.’ She says with a devious smile.

 ‘Y-You’ll still need a m-man.’ the goggled man says. He pulls his mouth guard down and smirks slyly to Clocky.

 In response, her eye flashes and she smiles even more ‘If we do need a man, where do you come in the picture?’

 Both you and Sally burst out laughing hard. Clockwork’s smile grows even bigger while from the other side, you can see that Toby’s eyes that were at first opened by surprise, are now being consumed by a dark glow, signaling his anger who takes the place of the surprise. Still, you can’t help but laugh hysterically at the man that was owned by a girl half his size.

  ‘What did you say?!’ he slams his hand against the counter, his eyes flashing with anger.

  ‘You heard me.’ Clockwork crosses her arms on her chest with the smile still on her lips.

 ‘Come on, don’t fight guys. Toby, you know you got owned, its okay though.’ You try to pacify them both.

  ‘Shut the f*ck up Halloween.’ He throws at you leaning over the counter and turning to Clocky with a sly smile, a mixture of cockiness and anger ‘Gurl, I can make you scream my name all night if I wanna.’

  Clocky chuckles at his face, taking up the challenge in front of her. It was the first time you saw her so ‘talkative’ and on edge and you couldn’t help but think that it might be Toby that brought this out to her.

 ‘I’d like to see you try, small fry.’

  Out of nowhere, you see something crash against Clockwork’s face. On impact, a large white cloud is ejected, along with some parts of the powder that find you on the right side of your face and body. Both you and Clocky cough loudly as you try to see through the large white cloud that has spread around you. Clocky’s face has turned completely white and the clock in her eye has stopped for some reason. The girl struggles to breathe as the dust finally settles, only to reveal a laughing-his-heart-out Toby, holding a handful of flour in his hand.

  Before you are able to avoid it, the next bomb of flour crashes on the right side of your body, finding you in the shoulder, and filling your clothes with flour, along with your face.

   The monster roars inside your head as you reach for the rest of the flour, while Clockwork grabs the eggs.

  ‘YOU BETTER RUN LIKE A MOTHERF*CKER TOBY!’
