Sunlight streamed through the window of the girls' bedroom. All four of them were able to fit into one room for the night, but Ezra was given his own because he was a boy and had to heal after last night's ordeal. Queenie and ReeRee got the bunk beds that were in the room because they were the youngest of them. Charisma watched as the dust motes danced in the dawn's light. Something was bothering her however. She felt like she was constantly being watched. Every time she moved her eyes, something would move at the edge of her vision, not truly wanting to be seen. Every room she went into, it went in. She never truly saw it, but it was there. For some reason, Charisma felt like it should be a he. She got out of bed and headed into the bathroom that was attached to their room. It, he, never followed her in there, however. They may have only been there for that night, but she had already learned the habits of her new shadow.
When she finished and walked to the sink to wash her hands, she looked at the mirror and saw a note taped to it. ๐ป๐๐๐๐. -๐ฟ "Huh? L? Is that you shadow?" Charisma asked the surrounding air but there was no reply. She sighed and grabbed the note. "I hope you didn't watch me pee.." She walked back to her bed and went to sleep, the note still clenched in her hand.

Queenie got out of the bed and got dressed into some regular clothes instead of the ripped prom dress she always wore. She hated the corset thing. ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ... She thought as she went downstairs. ReeRee followed her for some breakfast, which for ReeRee were some toasted organs and scrambled eggs while Queenie had a regular bowl of cereal. They both sat down at the large table next to LuLu who had woken up only six minutes before they had. "Nice bedhead," she smiled at Queenie who smoothed down her hair in response. "I don't need to brush it if I don't want to." She said defensively. ReeRee smiled and tried to pull some of the tangles out, but instead just pulled Queenie's hair. "Ow! What the hell!" "What? I was just trying to help with your nasty ass hair.." ReeRee rudely apologized. Queenie lightly smacked her cheek and ReeRee pretended to fall to the floor.
As soon as she touched the ground, Eyeless Jack walked in and she quickly jumped off the floor and got back to eating. He then looked at her food when he got to the table. "Did you.. take some of the things from the basement?" He questioned and she nodded. "You do know that those are from humans, right?" ReeRee nodded again. "So you do eat people. You know, you could've just told me that." She shrugged at him again. "Well, why did you want to know so bad?" ReeRee queried and it was his turn to shrug. "I wanted to see if someone else ate people or if I was just a freak.. I guess it's both then." He said with a smile in his voice and ReeRee giggled a little while Queenie and LuLu just shrugged at each other. After a couple of minutes passed, Ben finally walked in wearing a fake blood stained hat, a shirt and heart boxer shorts. He walked up to the fridge and looked inside it. He scratched his head before he shut the door loudly.
"There's nothing to fucking eat! Someone needs to go to Costco or something." He groaned with his tongue sticking out of his mouth and ReeRee frowned. "Well I'm sorry, how about you go to the store?" ReeRee yelled. "Unless your small legs can't carry you there." Ben growled once he heard her say 'small legs.' "You know what-" Ben began but was cut off when Queenie put her index finger on his lips as a nice way to tell him to shut up. "How about we go to the store and pick up some things?" Queenie questioned as she looked at LuLu, Charisma who was making herself some tea and ReeRee, a finger still on Ben's lips. Before the girls could say anything, the front door slammed open and revealed two figures. One boy had a permanent smile on his face and wore a white blood stained hoodie with black jeans. The other had a pointy cone like nose and looked like a colorless, dreary clown. ReeRee looked up from her breakfast and over at the boys.
"Who are you?" She sat there looking as innocent as she could be while she waited for an answer. "The real question is, who the hell might you be?" The boy with the large smile asked in a rude tone as he squished ReeRee's nose and shook it a little while the other boy stared at Charisma and Ezra who were chatting, unaware of the two who entered the house. "The rude one is Jeff.. Jeff the Killer.. and the one staring at your friends over there is Laughing Jack." Eyeless Jack said to the girls when Queenie raised an eyebrow in question. Ben removed Queenie's finger from his mouth, which had been there since the two boys walked in. Queenie seemed surprised that it was still there as she had forgotten about it. She just shrugged and looked back at the conversation. "Oh.. well sweetie, I'm ReeRee and these people are LuLu, Queenie, Charisma and Ezra. Thanks for asking." ReeRee said in a really sweet tone while pointing to the people she mentioned in a respectful way.
"Anyways, let's go get some food before somebody starts to eat someone.." LuLu said assertively as her, the girls, Ben and Ticci Toby walked towards the front door. Charisma stopped and looked back at Ezra. "Are you coming with us?" She questioned but Ezra just shook his head and continued to drink his coffee. Charisma just shrugged and walked out the door, closing it behind her.

The teen murderers wandered through the woods until they got into the city. LuLu and Charisma had asked Toby how to get into there just before they had gotten their room the night before. They disguised themselves just before they had gotten close to the large store so that no one would know their identities. Queenie and Ben were riding in the cart like small children but they were slightly larger than that so they were uncomfortably close to one another. A few times Ben accidentally brushed Queenie's thigh, arm or breast and she would protest with a blush on her face. He would then return the blush and pick out something he wanted. While they were shopping, Charisma spotted a strange girl to her right, who was also disguised, shoving a macaroni box into her jacket. "Look Ree, that girl is stealing something." She said to the slightly shorter girl while pointing to the stranger who began to quickly walk away when she said this.
When ReeRee saw her walk away, she rolled up her sleeves and began to run after the girl. "I may be a murderer, but I will not let people steal. Hey person!" She yelled after her between breaths. "ReeRee!" The others yelled before running after her, leaving the cart behind. The girl began to sprint when she heard footsteps behind her. She ran out of the store with a lot of things bulging out of her jacket that were probably stolen as well. "Hey, stop!" ReeRee yelled as if she was robbed of an ice cream or something. The others were still chasing after ReeRee. "Hey wait up!" LuLu yelled as if she was chasing a child to take their eyes out. But before they knew it, ReeRee had tackled the girl to the ground. "Why did you steal those things?" ReeRee yelled really close to the girls face but the girl said nothing. "Don't like to talk, eh?" ReeRee then unzipped the girls jacket and watched as the stolen goods spilled onto the ground. "ReeRee, what did you do?" Charisma questioned in a stern yet kind voice when they caught up and saw the girls terrified face.
Queenie helped ReeRee get off the girl with a grunt and once she was off the girl, she gasped when they saw the stranger covered in bloodstains. Everyone's jaws dropped collectively. "Could she be like us?" LuLu asked aloud. "She could be a friend.." Queenie trailed off and ReeRee nodded excitedly. "Should we take her back with us?" Charisma asked the boy's but they both just shrugged. The two barely even spoke throughout the entire experience which was unusual, especially for BEN. ReeRee began to squish the girls face like a grandmother does. "She's so kawaii! Can we keep her?" She queried in a guiltless voice. Queenie pulled ReeRee off the girl yet again. "C'mon, get off of her," she insisted. "You're freaking her out." The girl glared at them before jumping up and taking off again, but this time further into the woods with a maniacal laugh and the teens followed in pursuit.

They chased her through the woods, right on her tail. Just as they got closer, Jeff suddenly appeared and pinned the girl down on the ground, smiling widely as he shoved his knife roughly against her throat. "Get off of me!" She growled as she struggled beneath him but he just pushed his knife closer to her throat in response. A trickle of blood oozed down her neck and she winced. "You ugly ass snow cone!" ReeRee huffed as she held up her sledgehammer. "Get off of her!" She yelled just before heaving her sledgehammer into Jeff's side, making him fall across the ground. He was sprawled out on his side, out of breath and the girl stood up and chuckled nervously, swinging her arms. Then she suddenly grabbed her chainsaw that fell off her when Jeff had jumped on her and proceeded to rev it up, causing all of the birds in a half mile radius to fly away in panic. Everyone stood still for a second before grabbing their weapons and charging at her.
The girl quickly swung at the person closest to her, which happened to be ReeRee, giving her a large, long gash in her shirt. Ree paused and looked down at her shirt before letting out a gasp in horror. "M-my fabulous shirt! You butt nugget!" The girl chuckled as ReeRee ran at her and she dodged the smaller girl, swinging out her leg to trip her. The girl jumped back and stumbled on a low lying tree rot. Charisma saw her chance and jumped behind the girl, trying to grab her. The girl swings her chainsaw around at Charisma this time, trying to decapitate her. Queenie tackled the girl then sat on her chest before beating her face with her poker comically. LuLu on the other hand was laughing like a maniac, tears streaming down her face. "Don't you fucking touch her!" Queenie yelled. Once she had yelled that, Slenderman appeared with grocery bags in his long arms. He tilted his head to the side in question.
They all froze when they saw him and he stared at them all, ashamed. ๐โ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ ๐โ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐.. He thought as he shook his head. BEN noticed the grocery bags in Slender's arms and frowned. "Goddammit! If he already went to the store, I didn't have to fucking move!" He yelled disappointedly, arms raised. No one was moving, still caught off guard by the interruption. The girl was the first to make a move and kicked Queenie in her crotch, making her fall to the ground, holding it in pain. She quickly stood up and tried to run away but Slenderman grabbed the girl, wrapping one of his tentacles around her, making her still. He then stared into her eyes, making her blackout from his dark powers. Queenie groaned in pain before getting up off the ground, her face flushed in rage. "Where is that little bitch? I'll kill her!" She screeched and Jeff points to the girl, making Queenie frown.
"What happened while I was out? Did we kill her? She's dead right?" She questioned hopefully, a smile stretching wider on her face at the thought. "No. Slendy just knocked her out." Charisma said dismissively, making Queenie frown again. "Damn, that's too bad.. can we kill her now?" She asked hopefully and Slenderman picks her up as well, but in his arms and walked back to the mansion with the others following.
