Poor Jeff doesnt know what the Fuck is going on
“You really don't want to step on that floorboard they purposefully made it really creaky”
Jeff knew his life wasn't normal, He was called Jeff The Killer and he worked for an eldritch being of Horror of Insanity and Chaos. He's an immortal proxy and lives in a mansion in the woods with the other proxy. So Jeff knows he's seen some pretty weird shit. But this shit is bullshit and one-hundred percent karma for a lot of the horrible things he did so far in life.
What is this fucking bullshit you may be asking, well its a short girl about 5’5 with wild black and red striped hair pulled into a pony tail wearing some well worn jeans with a band shirt ‘Werid Witches’ or something.
With the audacity to look like shed be right at home with the other Proxy leaning up against the wall all fucking casual and telling him to watch his step after he obviously stepped out of her (cousin brother’s???) room covered in blood.
So yea he's a little confused rightfully, but he apperently took too fucking long to respond by her standards or she noticed the whole range of some goddamn rainbow emotions (the five stages of grief somehow landing on the fact that this girl is gonna fuck shit up he just fuvking!knows!it!) crossing his face and took pity on him, she stood up straighter and pushed herself off the wall taking three steps towards him before, (again murderer not nice jesus, did no one teach this fetus to not talk to people covered in blood!).
“There's three more squeaky steps in this hall but they're more obvious” she paused before finally looking him in the eyes ``and just so you know i'm telling you cause you're doing me a big favor. I wanted to get out of here so bloody fucking badly, but i would just get placed back with themso thanks i'm gonna grab my shit and head out” she spoke with a rushed tone tone but you could still practically hear the ‘thank you’ hanging in the air, as if i wasn't here to kill her family.
she turned to grab her bags that i somehow didn't notice earlier in my shock (was she running away?).
Finally remembering I had a F.U.C.K.I.N.G job I came here to do, I grabbed her wrist (ignoring the shivers that went up his spine, she-she couldnt no. she was so Fucking innocent fuckfuck-fuckity shit) as she tried to leave leveling her one of his best ‘pissed off Laughing jack’ glare’s “how do you know i wasn't here to kill you.”
She seemed shocked for a few seconds both at his touch(fuck she probably felt it too shit goD DAMMIT) and what he had said. Before a condescending smirk graced her face (god!)and she bit out a venomous “you would have done something, plus your not the type that wants me dead”
she reached out and used her free hand too poke him in the chest which would have been intimidating if her hand hadnt had above her head when doing so, “anyway you better get going, Uncle Vernon gets up every night at two in the morning to cheat his diet and its 1:45 right now” before removing her wrist from his hold, cursing Jeff check the clock and realize shes telling the truth(He definitely was cursing from from the limited time to kill the rest of the family, not the loss of peace and wholeness that left as they no longer had shin too skin contact no sir), I throw her one more glance before turning. “whatever she wasn't one of his targets so he'd let her go for now “
But just before He could storm the parents room and kill them with newfound rage at the loss of time (definitely not because her wrists were way too skinny to be healthy. and not just because she wasn't tiny in a petite way, but skinny in a ‘i don't have enough to eat’ way and he knew they had enough to feed her more, their son was a whale basically.)
She reaches out taking a few quick strides forward to put her hand on my shoulder turning me around, I willingly allow myself to turn if only to stare into her fucking soul with Maskys patented ‘what the fuck did you absolute idiots do’ stare that Masky uses specifically when he on the rare fucking accasion takes off his mask and sees people (cough Jeff cough Ben and Toby) pulling some stupid ass shit.
She at least has the decency to look at least somewhat ashamed of the action before quietly (afraid so afraid why is shescared ofme! What the fuck wha-he dosent- no he doesnt care stop it brain) asking ‘if she can maybe-please come along’.
Jeffs pretty sure his eyebrows are in his fucking hair at this point from how high they up went.
But hes tired and just wants to FUCKING GO HOME(and pretend he didint meet her, his heart-mate), so he reluctantly agrees nodding at her before striding towards the biggest room passing what he thinks is her room and a guest room along the hallway. Her quite almost nonexistent sounding steps following closely behind (why god dammit why are they tHAT FUCKING QUITE! Right, like is it probably nothing? hes probably overthinking things, god this is not fucking like him).
Jeff enters the room throwing the door open and waiting for her to enter before slamming the door closed before striding to the bed and hopping onto the bed and stradling the whale of a man, who had woken up at some point whispering to ‘go to sleep’ and viciously stabbing and slashing the man. Watching the life drain out of his eyes is amazing but the moment is ruined by the sound of struggling, he turns his face away from the man to see the girl clearly fighting her mother? Aunt? And holding the woman back from attacking him and hes (proud so proud look at her she will fit right in) ….Impressed the girl is small as previously noted and the woman easily is twice her size, not that it is saying much but still.
Eventually the Aunt? managed to grasp a lock of the girls hair and tugged it hard enough she released the screaming banshee of a woman for just a moment but that was enough because the older woman began viciously beating the girl, not for long though cause the noise of pain that escaped the girl broke him out of his stupor and he threw his knife into the woman's head knocking her off her, she fell to the floor as the girl shoved her off and slowly raised from the bed and backed away from her relatives body.
Jeff takes a few seconds after getting off the man to survey the room and decides that like the rest of the house It fucking sucks.
It's tacky and so ‘normal’ and ‘perfect’ he actually feels like throwing up, the girl (god he really has to get a name especially since she's so interesting and his heat-mate he has to keep her! Liu did always want a sister) just watched silently in the corner, like a weight has left her shoulders and Jeff decided then and there he's taking her to slenderman, he can tell she'd make a Fuckin amazing proxy with a little work (and she is one of his and that means she needs! To be protected).
With that little decision out of the way Jeff turns to the girl (holy shit he needs her name) and states in a tone drenched in insanity with a deadpan to go along with. Just to freak her out a little, she will need to get used to it if she's gonna stay.
“Well i can safely say they were horrible people” Jeff stated this easily, cause he knew it was the truth, he did his research they Homophobic, racict, sexist and more so child abuse wasnt too far off to asume. “Now come on pipsqueak grab your shit” the manic grin still plastered on hid face”you are so fucking coming with me”
Throwing on a cocky grin while grabbing a handful of blood and smearing the slenderman and proxy/Jeff the killer symbols (you have to let them know who was there).
On the wall before turning to her, he noticed she seemed to be in shock, Jeff sighed this was a normal reaction but it was inconvenient
Before he walked over grabbed her hand pulling her along out of the Master bedroom and into the hallway, and down to where her bags are he picked them up acknowledging they were incredibly light and probably didn't have much, before shoving them into her arms somehow this seemed to knock her out of the shock. She opened her mouth most likely to object (why wouldnt she object why would anyone willing live with serial killer’s’ even if they were heart-mates. and yea he was just gonna fucking admit now) before thinking better of it and nodding, blandly stating “this is pretty much all i own that i care about”paused and then softly “everything else is replaceable” she seemed to be mulling a question over before bluntly asking “so where in the bloody fuck are we going then”.
“My Home and now your Home”she looked hesitant as if she was playing an internal game of tug-a-war, eventually something won and she asked ”.....home like a house or home like a home” clearly the hesitancy was about asking the difference, (or maybe it was just asking a question, like she wanted to know if she'd be punished) summoning all the calmness Jeff could he answered.
“yea uh, home like home,it's a little weird but you'll fit right in” he paused looking anywhere but her and especially avoiding eyecontact (Jeff definitely remembered the first few days when the proxies first started living together, in all reality it was flaming garbge pile of a shit fucking show) before continuing under his breath “eventually”.
Before suddenly grabbing her hand and a suitcase (not the giant trunk though that shit is in her fucking death grip) and starts tugging her down the steps, not bothering to be quiet like when he first entered whats the point they were Fucking dead.
Once they were at the bottom of the steps he grabbed the sons backpack that was laying sprawled out on the floor where it was thrown when the son got back from a hang out with friends (what Jeff stalked them, he did his fucking job WELL, he left no stone unturned, except apparently his Heart) and picked it up.
Before promptly dumping the contents on the floor and striding towards the kitchens, his Heart not far behind obviously curious, upon entering Jeff quickly created a small fucking tornado with how fast he ran around the kitchen and pantry stealing whatever he felt like taking.
His Heart having caught on, took her bag that Jeff had taken from her and promptly tore through the fridge and cupboards faster than jeff could possibly could with an ease that came from having practically lived in it (and god did that make Jeffs head rage thinking up things she might've had to do, but again he could be overreacting)
By the time they were done the kitchen was pretty fucking barren compared too when they started, but considering how full it was when they started it wasnt actually that empty.
Jeff had all the shit gathered up and was standing by the door when his Heart had shot past him like a rocket upstairs, she was upstairs for less than two minutes before skipping downstairs. Jeff shot her a look and she just smiled holding up a ring Jeff recognised as one the rings on the woman-Petunia Jeff thinks- had on her side table before cupping her hand over her mouth and whisper-shouting at Jeff that its “My Mum’s ring, it's a family heirloom on my dads side once they passed it was supposed to be mine but my aunt said that i was too ugly for it and that it would be hers as payment for taking care of me”
And Jeff thought it was fitting. The ring had a simple silver band with rubies and deer antlers coming out of it, Odd looking but fitting somehow. She slips it on grabs her trunk slings a bag on her shoulder and holds out her asking for permission to hold hands and fuck it Jeff needs to lead her to the Slender-Ports anyway.
Grasping her hand he leads her out of the house checking to see if anyone is outside or watching before deciding that no ones there he books it down the streets until there finally getting out private drive, not even slowing down at the sound of sirens and just tugging Heart along when she slows, he wonders why the cops are there already (they probably heard the banshee screaming and called the cops),Jeff just keeps pulling her along and before long there miles away and have crossed half a forest and are finally at the Slender-Port playground.
Once they stopped Jeff kinda fears for the sanity of his Heart, she's been giggling like a mad woman for atleast the past ten minutes and since they stopped and she caught her breath the giggling devolved quickly into full on body cacklesand its not long until shes on the ground wheezing with him standing above her eyeing her like she's the crazy murder not him.
If it weren't a little bit of a requirement to be crazy, Jeff would consider therapy to fix her luckily it is a requirement so cool.
–and then the moment is over when from her position on the ground she sits up ramrod straight, “oh my god oh my gOD” she keeps repeating it over and over and over spilling out, before the root of the problem tumbles out of her like hell on heels.
“There dead” oh fuck there that little bit of morals is “oh- oh god i might be sick” Jeff takes a step back preemptively in case she does throw up but when it appears she won't and all she does do is raise a middle finger att him, he crouches down in front of her and makes an obvious gesture of going to grab her she still kinda flinches when he puts his hand on her shoulder but eventually relaxes.
“Okay yea-yea there dead, but you need to pull yourself together,cause you cant do shit about that now and you couldn't then either, your like what nine you can't beat me” He tries to give her a look he hopes is comforting but probably just looks feral “you good now, good now thats great and all but you got two options here”.
Then Jeff holds up two fingers as if to show the two options he's giving before putting one down “option one you go with or too who ever you were planning on going to cause lets be honest with your bags and shit it's obviously you have someone for that or” Jeff puts up the other finger
“you go with me and hopefully my boss will let you stay which he probably will since you seem to show that you’re close to snapping and your my heart-mate, dont give me that we both know its true or i would have killed you otherwise, plus we need more people and maybe thats just sallys bullshit optimism rubbing off on me who fucking knows, so your answer chop chop i have places to be yknow”
she seemed to be thinking it over(‘why wouldnt she’ a voice that sounded suspicucly like Liu added) before racing up enough to close the gap between our hands to grasp my hand in a solid shake before speaking with more confidence that shed showed all night “Names Dorea and im thirteen not nine” (Yes a Fucking NAME finaly!- wait did dhe just say thirteen shes way too Fucking small) she laughs at the look that crosses his face before “and your name my savior” i threw a face at being called someones savior and it must have been fucking hilarious from the way the girl (Dorea, man what a weird fucking name) was barely containing her giggles.
Jeff barely manages to revert his face back to normal before speaking with the same cocky tone he’d been using all night “my name is” he takes step back standing up before giving a deep bow “Jeff, My Lady” this seems to be the correct choice because she's pulling a face before quickly punching him in the shoulder(lightly).
Standing up far to fast for the average human eye to see before brushing off the dirt he extends his hand and as soon as she grasped it there
FALLING
FALLING
And spinning for what feels like forever (god he sounds like TOBY) but really is only a few seconds before they land in a dark forest clearing on their asses, the full moon shining brightly.
He hops up twisting around toward the mansion.
Fuck. Slendy, it's fine, it will be fine (hopefully).
‘Jeff i told you to kill the family, not bring home a hostage or play toy”
And fuck— Slendy was mega pissed Jeff was really fucking in for it now slendy just pulled his ‘what the fuck your so grounded now’ look
“And did it have to be a mage there, always so pesky to deal with”???????Mage???? Wat da fuck
Jeff subtly looked at his heart-mate in the corner of his eye
‘mage? here i thought they were woman who danced in the woods naked or some shit and maybe ate baby’s’
But having been watching her Jeff noticed the second her panic that appeared at Slender Man appearance, just up and disappeared, her spine became ram rodd straight and she gracefully stood up wiping off the dirt on her jeans, somehow managing to look dignified despite the circumstances.
Now Jeff, he noticed the other Proxies had come outside to see what was going on. He knew they were watching and he also knew he could use them, how you ask.
Simple there were literally like four girls who lived in the mansion and one was eight granted a fucking twelve year old (????) wasnt alot better but she'd grow into it, so yea he was pretty sure he could get them to agree for the sake of evening out the testosterone.
But then she decided to just throw her hand out to Fucking Slenderman and smile a pleasent smile while calmly stating
“my name is Dorea, and i'm sorry if i caused you any trouble but Jeff invited me and hes my Heart-mate so i really couldn't just say no” she paused a took in a deep breath before politely stating “and i refer to myself as a Witch, although mage has quite a nice touch to it don't you agree”
She
Jeff is fucking baffled
He reserves the the right to be baffled
Cause his heart-mate is fucking idiot, with stupid fucking luck or is it dumbassery Slendy did always take in dumbasses
But anyway shes dead, sooo fucking dead he can tell Boss is kinda pissed from the way the pressure in the room becomes so heavy Jeff almost chokes on it, he feels Slendys gaze on him almost as if hes asking were Jeff got this fuckin kid and if there was reciet, honestly Jeff is kind of wondering that too.
But then after a couple of silent minutes just before Dorea looks like she's going to collapse Slendy lets up on the pressure, then inclined his towards him and simply says “Jeff, I have come to expect this behavior from Toby, Sally and Nina not you so please tell me what possessed you to take her, the witch being your heart-mate aside”
And fuck Jeff he knew her being his heart-mate didnt mean shit unless she would join, Hell Nina had killed her Soul-mate cause they didnt join and she felt destroyed for days, but she did get over it.
……
He really didn't feel like killing her; she was fun, and-and! Wait, the whole can I watch you kill my relatives thing would work!
Unfucking luckily though before Jeff could say this and plead their case, Dorea clearly did not like how The Boss was just dismissing her.
So like a Dumbass she spit out, with fire pretty much coming out of her ears.
“Excuse me i know we just met sir, but really he didnt Take me i left and went with him willingly and i am not just some fucking stray im a person and yes you all are right to be wary im new youve never met me and the whole soul/heart-mate shit is utter Bullocs on just trusting people”
She was out of breath from her mini-rant and looked manic but she wasn't done and Jeff couldn't reach her in time to stop her from speaking again, as she had stepped away from him and progressively strided closer to Slender Man
“But I just ditched my entire life and probably already have people looking for me but honestly i feel like I have nothing left, so if you got room i can help, please”
That last part was unexpected to everyone except SlenderMan himself who looked oddly pleased.
This Scared Jeff a lot, unfortunately Slender had dismissed Dorea to talk to him and she was already leaving.
Jeff was mega Fucking Screwed.
