A month had passed since Y/N and Lily had arrived at the mansion. The initial fear and uncertainty had slowly given way to a new routine. The mansion, once a place of mystery and apprehension, had become a strange sort of home.

Y/N sat by the window, looking out at the sprawling gardens. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden light over the landscape. It was peaceful here, and for the first time in a long while, Y/N felt a sense of calm.

Lily was adjusting well, too. She had found comfort in the company of the others and had even started to smile and laugh again. Watching her, Y/N felt a deep sense of gratitude. They had been through so much, but they were together, and that was what mattered most.

As the days turned into weeks, Y/N had come to appreciate the quiet moments. They had found solace in the routine and the support of their new friends. The mansion, with all its quirks and secrets, had become a sanctuary.
Y/N stood in the kitchen, flipping pancakes on the griddle. The smell of fresh coffee filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of the pancakes. It was a quiet morning, and Y/N enjoyed the simple act of making breakfast. But something felt off.

As they glanced around, Y/N noticed the others were being unusually attentive. EJ and Jeff were lingering nearby, their eyes darting towards Y/N and Lily more often than usual. It wasn’t just them; everyone seemed to be on edge, casting protective glances their way.

Y/N couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. They appreciated the care and concern, but the heightened protectiveness was unsettling. It was as if the others were anticipating something, and Y/N couldn’t help but wonder what it was.

"Is everything okay?" Y/N asked, trying to keep their tone light.

Jeff looked up, his expression serious. "Just making sure you and Lily are safe," he replied. "There's been some... activity nearby. We want to be prepared."

Y/N nodded, understanding the unspoken words. Whatever was coming, they would face it together.
Y/N turned back to the pancakes, flipping them over while thinking about what Jeff had said. "I've noticed that everyone has been more protective lately," Y/N said, trying to keep the worry out of their voice. "Is there something specific going on that I should know about?"

EJ exchanged a glance with Jeff before stepping forward. "We didn't want to worry you and Lily unnecessarily, but there have been some strange occurrences around the mansion. We just want to make sure you're both safe."

Y/N nodded, feeling a mix of gratitude and unease. "I appreciate that, really. But if there's something I can do to help, I want to know."

Jeff gave a reassuring smile. "Just keep doing what you're doing. We'll handle the rest. Just know that we're all here for you and Lily."

Y/N felt a bit more at ease, but the sense of something looming still lingered. They turned back to the pancakes, determined to stay strong for Lily and face whatever came their way together with their new friends.
Masky watched from the doorway, his eyes narrowed as he observed the scene in the kitchen. He had always been protective, but lately, the need to safeguard Y/N and Lily had intensified. Something was definitely off, and he couldn't shake the feeling that danger was closer than ever.

He stepped into the room, his presence immediately drawing the attention of the others. "Morning," he said, his voice steady but carrying an underlying tension. "How's breakfast coming along?"

"Almost ready," Y/N replied, giving Masky a small smile. "I was just talking to Jeff and EJ about the extra precautions everyone's been taking."

Masky nodded, his expression serious. "It's necessary. We've had some strange activity around the mansion. We can't be too careful."

Y/N's eyes met Masky's, searching for reassurance. "Is there anything specific we should be worried about?"

Masky hesitated for a moment before answering. "Just stay alert and trust us to handle it. We'll make sure you and Lily are safe."

Y/N nodded, turning back to the pancakes with a determined look. Masky felt a surge of resolve. No matter what, he would protect them. The mansion might hold its secrets and dangers, but they were a family now, and they would face whatever came together.
Hoodie stood quietly in the corner, his eyes scanning the room. He could sense the tension in the air and knew that everyone was on edge. He had always been the silent observer, but now he felt the weight of responsibility more than ever.

He moved closer, catching Y/N's eye. "Morning," he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "How are you holding up?"

Y/N gave a small smile, though it didn't quite reach their eyes. "I'm managing. Just trying to keep things normal for Lily."

Hoodie nodded, understanding. "That's important. Keeping her safe and happy is our priority."

Y/N sighed, flipping the last pancake onto a plate. "I just wish I knew more about what's going on."

Hoodie hesitated, then placed a reassuring hand on Y/N's shoulder. "We'll tell you more when the time is right. For now, just trust that we're doing everything we can to protect you both."

Y/N looked up at Hoodie, appreciating his calm presence. "Thank you. It means a lot to know you're all looking out for us."

Hoodie gave a small nod, his eyes reflecting his determination. They were all in this together, and he would do whatever it took to keep their makeshift family safe.
Toby and Ben sat at the kitchen table, their usual playful banter subdued by the current situation. Toby fidgeted with his hands, his eyes darting around the room. Ben, on the other hand, tried to maintain a semblance of normalcy, though his usual smirk was absent.

"Morning, guys," Toby said, trying to sound cheerful but failing to hide the worry in his voice. "How's everyone doing?"

Ben shrugged, glancing at Y/N and then back to Toby. "We're hanging in there. Just trying to keep things light, you know?"

Toby nodded, understanding the sentiment. "Yeah, it's tough. But we gotta stay strong for Lily and Y/N."

Ben leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "I know. It's just... I wish we had more answers. This whole thing is driving me nuts."

Toby sighed, running a hand through his hair. "We'll figure it out. We always do. Just gotta stick together and keep our eyes open."

Y/N placed a plate of pancakes in front of them, giving them a grateful smile. "Thanks, guys. It means a lot to know you're all here for us."

Ben gave a small smile in return. "Always. We're a team, and we're not letting anything happen to our family."

Toby nodded in agreement, feeling a renewed sense of determination. They would face whatever came their way, together.
Slenderman stood silently in the shadows, observing the scene unfold before him. His presence was imposing, yet he exuded a calm that was almost reassuring. He understood the worry that gripped Toby, Ben, and the others. They were right to be concerned about Y/N and Lily, but he couldn't help but think that their anxiety was becoming overwhelming.

He moved closer, his silent steps going unnoticed by the group. He knew he needed to address their fears, to remind them of the strength they all possessed. As he approached, the room seemed to quiet even more, as if everyone instinctively knew he was there.

"Your concern for Y/N and Lily is commendable," he said, his voice a deep, resonant whisper that filled the room. "But remember, fear can cloud judgment and weaken resolve."

Toby, Ben, and Y/N looked up at him, their expressions a mix of respect and curiosity. Slenderman continued, "We have faced many challenges before, and we have always emerged stronger. Trust in your abilities and in each other. Together, we will protect what matters most."

Y/N nodded, a sense of calm washing over them. "Thank you," they said softly. "We needed to hear that."

Slenderman gave a slight nod, his expression unreadable. He knew the path ahead would not be easy, but with their combined strength and determination, they would face it head-on.
