About 3 weeks later, you were taking a walk in a forest when you noticed an odd wooden cabin in a tree. Curious about it, you climbed up the tree using your claws and entered it. Upon entering, you saw on the wall "Don't look up". Confused, you began to look around the house. It seemed pretty snug for a treehouse. Thinking back to the writing, and wondering why it said not to look up, you looked at the ceiling only to find a person holding onto the ceiling with some sort of clawed gloves

They immediately pounced on you, pinning you down
"It said not to look up. Time to die!", they said raising their claws. Thinking quickly you activated your flamethrower, making the person hesitate
"One wrong move and this entire place burns!!!", you shouted at her. She slowly lowered her claws and tilted their head
"Who exactly are you?", they asked, keeping you firmly pinned
"Y/N L/N. Who are you?", you replied.
"Heather Marshall. They call me Rouge. I serve Slenderwoman and you are trespassing in her land", she said before you laughed a little
"I didn't trespass. She took me in when I was a kid. My parents abused me like I was a second class....thing to them. Calling me a second class citizen was a compliment in their eyes. So I ran off. Then Slenderwoman found me and took me in", you explained and she got off you.
"I'm so sorry to hear that. No one deserves to suffer abuse. Especially not a kid", she said before she hugged you suddenly. You hesitated but hugged her back. She slowly removed her mask and looked at you

You removed yours and she touched your burn scar gently. You winced a little but relaxed slowly.
"What happened to your face?", she asked with a concerned voice
"Gas explosion. Should be lucky it only temporarily damaged my lungs and skin. If i hadn't been wearing these overalls I would have died", you replied gesturing to your outfit. Heather winced
"Sounds painful", she said looking down
"It was", you replied. To change the mood, you asked her if she wanted to come to the mansion. She nodded her head and once you'd gotten your masks back on, the two of you began climbing down and heading indoors. You changed your claws to the normal hand and opened the door to see Slenderwoman there. Rouge dropped to her knees
"Another proxy I found. She attacked me when I entered her house. To be honest, I didn't really see the house until today so I was just curious", you explained and Slenderwoman ordered Rouge to stand up, which she did.
"I only attacked him because I was unsure about him mistress. I apologise for attacking him", Rouge said awaiting a punishment but Slenderwoman laughed
"I actually wanted that to happen. This was a test for both of you. Y/N to see how one of my most skilled proxies would react to the sight of a supposed trespasser. And Rouge to see if she could show mercy to people she encounters in her home, or not attack them immediately. You both showed me that you can respond well to situations. Rouge you will not be punished. I understand your reaction to a trespasser in your house, attacking them would seem logical. And before you ask, yes I did adopt Y/N when he was a kid. He was so cold and scared and thin, he would have died if I hadn't brought him into the house", she explained and Rouge nodded.
"Mistress, may I talk with you in private?", she asked and Slenderwoman nodded. You gave the two of them each a hug before heading off to read. You could just about hear them though.
"That Y/N boy seems kinda cute. Wonder if he'll be willing to sleep in the treehouse one day", you heard Rouge say.
"I'm sure he will. He loves us all. And we love him. Why not ask him soon?", you heard Slenderwoman say. And soon Rouge was walking up to you with a nervous expression in her body movements. Her hands were clasped together, her body was shaking a little and she seemed to be breathing a little heavily
"I heard what you two said and I'd be happy to sleep in the treehouse one day. Never have slept in one before. Maybe tonight I could try it", you said to her and she perked up. She hugged you tightly
"Thank you Y/N. I'm sure you'll enjoy it", she said and you laughed
"I'm sure I will", you replied and she gave you a kiss on the cheek before she headed off to speak with Kate and Tami. You smiled and shook your head before returning to your reading.
