Chapter 3, Love or hate?
I could feel something on my hand, but this time it wasn’t blood, or a blade. “Does this make you feel better?” I looked down, Ben was holding my hand. I blushed a bit looking away in embarressment. “Y-yeah… a-a bit”, I said, tripping over my words. God I sounded like an idiot, I’m surprised I’m popular when I can be as ridiculous as this. He brought his hand up to my face and turned it to face him. I closed my eyes, hoping the ground would swallow me up. “Hey, I’m not gonna hurt you, you can trust me”, whispered Ben, I opened my eyes. It looks like today is full of surprises. After opening my eyes, Ben smirked. “You know, when you’re shy… you look kinda cute”. My eyes widened, “I-I’m not cute, moron”. He laughed as I hid in my knees. “Come out, I was only joking around”. I lifted my head up, which was still a bit red.
Ben lifted my chin, showing my full face. “G-get off… p-p-please” I whimpered, I’d been through simular things to this, but never with a roomie. He brought his face closer and closer, and … well, he kissed me. My eyes widened, as his hand went throught my hair. I didn’t know what to do… How is this happening? He put his head back, giggling a bit as I turned my head away. “What, you scared”, Ben lifted his hands, wiggling his fingers. I felt really embarresed, I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die! “D-don’t do that again…” I said, frustrated and… yes, a bit scared. I picked up my knife and put it in my pocket. I walked out of the room, looking back but carrying on. I walked out of the front door, and instantly heard strange… noises. I turned to my right, and stood up straight. “Symphony? Am I… disturbing something?” I saw Symphony, and EJ, having a bit of a moment… I guess you could say.
They stared back at me, both red as fuck. Her shirt was slightly lifted and his hoodie was wrapped around them both. “I’ll, umm… leave you to it” I said, running off into the woods. I stopped about half way in, pulling my knife out of my pocket. I walked around, looking for people who went for a wander. I found one, he went down quickly. If you’re wondering, yes… I kill people, but can you blame me? It’s fun, watching the blood go everywhere, hearing their screams and cries for help. Their final words slipping out of their almost dead lips. The thrill of it is just enough to keep me sane. “I see you kill to, glad you’re catching on”. I turned round, Ben was floating just above the ground.
“What . The . Actual . Fuck… How are you..?” I spluttered out, I really couldn’t talk today. He hovered over to me, I tried to go backward, but I bumped into a tree. I sunk down, sitting on the dark, leaf covered ground. Ben landed, and sat down in front of me. I shook my head, why does he have to be so cute… just why? I closed my eyes, I wanted to fall asleep, but I wasn’t tired. I opened my eyes, leaning my head against the trunk. My eyes looked up, the sky was hidden behind branches and leaves. I could hear a rustling noise from in front of me, Ben was probably leaving. I closed my eyes and just talked to myself. “… You know I’m still here, right?” I looked down, he was even closer than before. I tried to back away but once again I was stopped by the tree. I thought I was going to fucking die at that moment.
Ben had crawled up towards me, his eyes locked onto mine. I couldn’t help but stare back, wondering what happened to him… if he had any troubling memories, if he was even alive. I looked up again, trying to distract myself from his gaze. I gasped, I could feel something biting my neck. My face went red hot, I wanted it to stop but… it felt so good. I put my head down, lifting up my legs so I could hide. “Come on… it was just getting fun” I stared at Ben, I thought he was mad… but he’s not wrong. Hehe. I get into a different position. I was sitting on my legs, trying to look confident.
He grabbed my shirt and pulled me closer. “Ben, w-what are you doing”. I looked into his eyes, he put something around my neck and left me there. I felt around my neck, feeling a slim chain. I took the end of it and held it up to see. There was a small bottle on the end of it, inside the bottle was a small rose, a black one at that. I tucked it in my shirt so no one would see it and walked back to the Slender mansion.
