"Good Question..."
I respond, pondering what to say.
"Tell him the truth; at least then he can be punished accordingly. It won't paint you in a bad light, either. When Offender told us that you were trans, it didn't make you look bad. It'll Be fine."
Link says reassuringly, placing a Hand on my shoulder and squeezing lightly.
I yelp lightly, as that's where puppeteer bit me.
He looks down at the Mark, and his face contorts with rage.
"That fucking prick..." He mutters, glaring at Puppeteer's unconscious body on the floor in the closet.
"It's fine, he won't hurt me anymore, Link."
I tell him, and he turns to me.
"How can you be so calm about this..?"
He asks, and I tear up.
"Trust me, I'm not feeling calm. I want to kick the fucker to death! But Sally's here, and I don't want her to watch that." I tell him, glancing over at the kid. She runs over and hugs me, holding on for ages.
"Ok... let's go tell him." Dark Link says, grabbing my hand and pulling me downstairs.
I blush at that. He's holding my hand!
Looking back, I see Sally. She has her hands held in a heart shape, and is dancing around and giggling.
I get pretty flustered, and my neck glitches.
That freaked her out enough for her to stop.
Link looks back as she was doing it, and he chuckles and pecks me on the cheek.
I reckon I could compete in a colour contest between me and a tomato...
We reach the living room, but before I can open my mouth to speak, Sally walks to Splendor and grabs him by the sleeve, pulling him back upstairs. We follow, Link still holding my hand.
"Did everything go well?"
Splendor asks, confusion growing on his 'face'.
"No." Me and Dark Link say in unison.
"Where's puppeteer?"
He asks, and we don't answer.
When we reach the spare room, we push open the door and pull open the closet, and his unconscious body is very visible, still bleeding.
"What happened?!"
Splendor yells slightly, crouching down to look.
"He tried to rape puppet."
Link says, seemingly calm, yet his hand is crushing mine.
"HE WHAT?!"
Splendor screams, staring at Puppeteer's now semi-conscious form.
I look at the floor and fiddle with the hem of my shirt again.
"I-its true."
I stutter, shuddering at the horrible picture now implanted in my mind.
The feeling of being pinned to a wall with rope.
Splendor storms across the room, his face comforting into an agonising rage, with razor sharp teeth and ember-like pupils adapting in his eyes.
He kick Puppeteer. Hard. Hard enough that he's lifted off the floor and slammed into the wall of the closet.
His golden eyes open slightly, and a soft groan escapes his lips.
But I don't feel bad. I want him to suffer.
I'll get revenge soon, when he least expects it.
Splendor grabs him and flings him over his shoulder roughly, and deliberately smacks him against the door frame as he walks out of the door.
Usually I'd laugh, but today's not the day.
Splendor teleports to Slender's office, and Sally clings to one of my arms, whilst Link holds my other hand.
By the time we've reached the bottom of the stairs, Splendor is tapping his foot impatiently with his arms crossed, whilst Slender is nervously examining Puppeteers body.
"What happened, brother?"
Slender asks, looking up at Splendor.
"Let them explain."
He growls, and waits for us to enter the office.
When we arrive, Slenderman and Splendorman look up at us expectantly.
"When we went in, he had the box, and tried t-to..." I start, but i can't seem to form words.
"He tried to rape puppet." Link finishes, giving my hand a squeeze.
Slenderman looks taken aback.
"Really!?" He asks, shocked.
"Yeah..." I respond calmly.
"I... the only times this has happened has been with my brother... did Puppeteer succeed?" He asks, rubbing his temples.
"N-no." I stutter.
"I'll punish him, but thats the most I can do... I'm so sorry, puppet. I didn't expect him to do that..." He says.
"I... ok." I start, but realise that he's right. There's nothing we can do. Sally heads back up to her room.
After a few minutes of questions and apologies, Dark Link let's go of my hand and we walk into the living room.
I see Offender.
Seemingly not able to think straight, I storm over, grab him by the collar, and pull him to my face level.
He smirks and says, "Hey pipsqeak. What are you doing..?"
I punch him in the 'face'.
"AAAGH!"
He yells, clutching his now bleeding mouth and stumbling backwards.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
I scream, kicking him in the shin.
I walk back out of the room in a normal manner, pretending nothing happened.
Dark Link stands from the hallway, looking slightly shocked.
"What was that for?" He asks.
"He helped." Is all I say.
I grab him by the sleeve and pull him through the corridor and to the staircase.
"Where are we going?"
He asks.
"I promised Sally a game of hide and seek, and a game she shall get." I say, dragging him up the stairs.
"Oh. Just the three of us..?"
"Who else should play?" I ask.
"Oh! Maybe the guys that come from games? There's loads of us!" He says, pretty excited.
"Ok!" I reply.
"There's Herobrine from Minecraft, BEN from Legend of Zelda, lost silver from pokémon, and me!"
"So six people, including me and Sally?"
I ask, counting them up in my head.
He nods.
When we get to Sally's room, I knock on the door, and she opens it immediately.
"Hide and Seek?" I ask, crouching to her height.
"Yay!" She cries, running downstairs.
Me and Dark Link walk behind, slowly.
"So you like me..?" I ask nervously.
"Yeah," he responds.
"Even though I'm trans."
He nods.
"Cool. I like you, too." I reply, my cheeks heating up.
His cheeks go a light pink, but not really noticeable in contrast with his gray skin.
We reach the bottom of the stairs, and Offender has already left the living room.
I wonder why.
"Herobrine, wanna play hide and seek with me, puppet and Sally?"
Dark Link asks him, and he earns a nod in return.
We walk to the kitchen to find BEN and Lost Silver arguing about which game is better; Legend of Zelda or pokémon.
"DARKLINKWHICHISBETTERLEGENDOFZELDAORPOKÉMON." Lost Silver screams.
"Legend of Zelda. You guys wanna play hide and seek with us and Herobrine?"
Lost Silver sighs but nods, and BEN pumps his fist in the air, and nods.
"See you in the living room in a sec."
Says BEN.
When we get there, BEN is half leaning through the TV to face us, and Sally is leaning on Herobrine as Lost Silver continues to sulk about the argument.
"This will be so fun!" Sally yells.
