Child! BEN Drowned X Reader

Chapter 3

        After that, you walk in silence, with the occasional giggle from BEN. You’re quite nervous, and you are unsure of what awaits you. The rain has died down drastically, so much that it’s just a mist, something BEN is apparently okay with.

        Toby had previously explained to you of their positions in the “Slender Mansion,” as he called it. He said they were proxies to a tall man named Slenderman. He said he didn’t yet know what they would be doing with you, but he knew he didn’t want to upset BEN. He holds a grudge, and would quite possibly remember after he was turned back into a teenager, he died when he was 12, but tends to appear about 14 or 15. Great, that means he’s about your age. (Apologies if you are not a teen, but in this book you are)

        The only reason you were home alone anyway was because your parents were always on business trips, leaving you home weeks at a time. You were okay with it since you were clearly mature enough, and they trusted you. You just happened to be alone when you were taken.

        A large building comes into view, it appears to be a mansion. BEN giggles and runs to it, Masky and Hoodie chase after him. Toby walks you up to the door. “After you,” He says, motioning at the door. You laugh and shake your head.

        “I don’t think so. The only reason guys do that is so they can look at your butt,” You say. “After you,” You say, and he chuckles.

        “You’re funny. I like that,” He says, before entering the mansion, you not very far behind. You look around nervously. It’s quite an open space, lots of room. Nobody in sight besides you and Toby. You don’t know where the others went. He motions towards the staircase, and you take the stairs slowly, afraid of what he’s leading you to. You reach the top, and round a corner.

        Immediately you spot a little girl, she’s sitting in the hallway, and holding a brown teddy bear. You start walking up to her, but Toby grabs your hand, pulling you back. You start to protest, but he covers your mouth, putting himself between you and the child. The girl looks up, and you see that she has long, curly brown hair, and her face is covered in blood. She looks up at you and smiles, a creepy smile, and you flinch away. Toby presses you against him, walking ever so slowly past the girl, and she eventually turns away from you.

        Toby sighs, and pulls you into a room with a waffle poster on it. You look around and spot a brown bean bag on the floor. You cautiously sit down, watching as Toby paces the room. “Will you stop pacing? I’m getting dizzy,” You say, closing your eyes. The door suddenly slams open, and you scream, jumping back. You look at the person who had just entered, and your eyes widen.

        The boy has shoulder length black hair, and his skin is pale white and wrinkled. He has a ring of black around his eyes. His eyes seem to be not blinking, he burned off his eyelids. There is also a long, bloody smile cut into his cheeks, and it appears to grow larger when he sees you.

        He walks up to you, and grips your chin, forcing you to look up at him. “Toby, how could you keep this cute little thing away from me?” He asks, and his hand is smacked away.

        “Cut the c-crap, Jeff. You are n-not to touch her,” Toby says, glaring at Jeff. Jeff gives you one last look, before turning to Toby.

        “And why not?” He asks. “I mean, have you marked her?”

        “Pff I wish. B-BEN found her first, as f-far as I’m concerned, she b-belongs to him,” Toby says.

        Jeff swears under his breath. “Of course she belongs to BEN. He always gets the cute ones,” You look down when he says that. “I mean, I’m  the beautiful one!” He finishes, and you laugh softly. He’s got an ego on him. You look up when you hear footsteps walking towards you. Jeff is walking at you, and he looks angry.

        You stand up, and stumble back, tripping over the bean bag. You hit the floor and continue to scramble backward. Your back hits the wall, and you feel hands on your waist, hoisting you up. You are, yet again, pressed up against the wall, knife held to your neck. “What’s so funny, Doll?” You hear a voice whisper in your ear. You shiver. “Don’t you think I’m beautiful?” He asks, tracing the knife down your side.

        You open your eyes, grabbing his arm, twisting him around. He looks surprised, and you take the opportunity to grab his knife, twisting his arm up behind his back, and slamming him up into the wall. You toss the knife aside, it hits the wall with a clatter.

        He turns his head slightly. “Why you fu*king bi-” The door is slammed open, and you turn to see Masky and Hoodie, who watch in surprise at the scene in front of them. They chuckle, and Jeff shoves you off of him, grabbing his knife, and exiting the room, muttering profanity.

        Toby laughs, and turns to you. “W-Well sweetheart, l-looks like you’ve made your f-first enemy!” Your eyes widen at this, and everyone laughs. “Although, I m-must admit. T-That was impressive,”
        
        Masky clears his throat, and you look at him. “I hate to interrupt, but I have some news,” He says.

        “W-What is it?” Toby asks. Masky turns to me.

        “Slender wants to talk to you,”
