June, Jeff, Masky, & Hoodie were all walking in the woods in silence. Masky & Hoodie walked together side by side calmly through the thick woods, while Jeff grumbles to himself. June was folding her arms in silence too. Once they made it out of the woods, they walk through June's backyard & walked into the house without anyone seeing her.

June made her way up the stairs & walked into her room. Everything was where they were the last time she was in her room, but there was no time to waste. So June grabbed she suite-case & started packing her things, her clothes, her books, phone charger, headphone, laptop, etc... Just before she walked out of her room she remembered her grandma's book that laid on her desk; without hesitation she took the book, & shoved it in her backpack, then walked downstairs where Masky & Hoodie where looking out the windows.

But Jeff was staring at the wall with all the family photos were. His face was unsettling, like he woke-up from a bad dream. June slowly walked over to him, laid a hand on his shoulder. "You alright, Jeff?" Jeff snapped out of his thoughts, & said.

"I'm fine. I don't need you pity."

"Geezz, don't need to get pissed at me. I was just wond-"

"I don't care what you feel about me. Okay?! Just stay out of my way." Jeff growled, & walked out the back door as the door slammed behind him.

"Geezz... What's wrong with him? I'm only trying to help, but he just gets pissed off, yells at me, & runs off." June said, Masky walks up to June.

"...Well the thing is... Jeff acts weird when he sees people with families or even a picture of a family. As much as he denies it, I think he still feels guilty from his past..."

"What do you mean?"

"... I won't go into too much detail, as it's really not my place to tell you this, but from what I gather, Jeff lost his entire family when he was just a child..."

"Oh, I've heard of a family who was murdered after a boy name Jeffery just got out of the hospital from the horrible fire incident." Sadness filled June's heart. "I feel bad that he lost his family from a serial killer-"

"Actually... *sigh* To be more precise... He murdered them." Masky said. June's eyes widen.

"He... WHAT?!... His OWN?!"

"Yes, & quiet brutally too. That's why you need to be careful around him, June. It's probably hard for you to understand given the very unusual circumstances in which you were introduced... But you must not forget that first & foremost, Jeff is a killer... all of us are... You HAVE to remember that, no matter how comfortable you may become around us, you should never make the mistake of fully letting your guard down... It's in our nature to do terrible things..."

"Don't worry Masky. I was best friends with a killer too, I was friends with the Slenderman when I was but a child myself, & I'm staying with a bunch of killers too, not to manchen sharing the same bed with on. I... think I can handle it." June said. Masky sighs in relief, & nodded his head.

Everyone walked out of the house, quietly tip-toed through the yard, & run into the woods. Once they were out of sight they began the silent walk... again. Suddenly there was a noise coming from somewhere, Hoodie looks up to see dark clouds covering the sky, the wind was blowing hard, then suddenly it started to rain. Like raining cats & dogs.
