Unfortunately, today I've been told to do most of the chores in the mansion. I'm kinda in between minding it and not minding it, but it really depends on what chores Slender's is ordering me to do. I take a look at the list.

"Wait, the backyard is a graveyard?—Wait, why do I have to do all of this!???" I yell.

"Sucks to be you," EJ said, passing by me with a smirk. I glare at EJ before grabbing the vacuum cleaner that was nearby and turn it on, beginning to chase him around with it since I found out he's afraid of vacuums.

"Slenders. Why do I have to do all these chores? Everyone's laundry? Seriously?" I exclaim, slamming the list before him on his desk in his office. "I'm not quite sure but it just might be because I'm your boss and I can tell you what to do? Could that be it?" Slender responded, tapping his chin.

....I don't like sarcastic Slender.

"Sir...can I at least get some help," I ask, trying not to sound upset. "TenderMan does all the chores in the mansion by himself every week. No help, no complaints. You can do the same."

"Unlike Tender I don't have Slender Powers!!!"

"You have arms, legs, and a brain. Please stop complaining."

I slam the list of chores into my face and quickly storm out of the office, screeching into the paper so that I don't accidentally snap at Slender. Splendor skips by me and smiles widely, "Oh, look at all the fun things you get to do today! You lucky duck!"

"I know, so fun!" I reply sarcastically. "Hey Splendy, you maybe want to do all these absolutely fun things yourself?"

"Nooo can do (Y/N)-y! I have a super duper spectacular fun birthday party to make a visit to today! By no means can I miss it. Don't worry, I can surely help you when I come back!" Splendor said, removing his top hat from his head and replacing it with a polka-dotted top hat with balloons sticking out of it.

I glare at how ...interesting he looks as he gleefully marches off. I then sigh and slump my shoulders as I walk back into the living room. The kidpastas; Sally, Lazari, and Lily are playing together on the floor, making a huge mess. Laughing Jack is sitting on the couch leaving candy wrappers everywhere. Kagekao and Former are throwing empty wine bottles at Jeff which is leaving glass all the floor. Sonic exe is running around the mansion, knocking down Slender's plants, vases, and other fancy things on the ground.

Basically everyone was just being a huge asshole for today specifically.

"Don't forget your broooom~" BEN came up and sang at me, handing me broom and floating off while laughing, Chucky was also laughing with him riding on his shoulders.

I was really just too tired and too annoyed to even bother anymore. I sigh as I take the stupid broom and walk into the living room, starting to sweep up the bigger mess so I could then go in and vacuum.

—

I've been cleaning for a little more than 5 hours now and I'm starting to get exhausted. Not to mention, some idiots keep coming around and making a mess in the places I just get through cleaning just to piss me off.

"Whoops~!" Candy Pop grins as he purposely elbows a vase off the stand I just fixed and the vase falls on the ground again, this time exploding into mini pieces. Strangled Red begins cackling in a corner, watching me as I stared in silence at the broken mess on the floor. "Stop, you're gonna make them cry! Hahahaha!" Strangled laughed. Candy Pop shrugs and skips off, smirking widely.

"I...hate...all of you..." I mutter under my breath, trying so hard not to loose my cool.

I feel a hand touch my shoulder and turn with the intention to lash out with my fist but I hold myself back when I see it's just Homicidal Liu. "You have a lot of patience, (Y/N)," He said with a slight smile, taking the broom from me and staring to sweep up the broken vase. I blink at his sudden actions and scratch the back of my head, "Err, thanks. You don't have to do that you know, Slender put me in charge of chores today."

"And you've done a lot actually. I can see you're tired. I don't mind helping out a bit?"

He stops, then turns to me and smiles, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure Slender won't mind you taking a small break, would he?"

"I....I guess...."

"Then go ahead. I'll catch up on the stuff you're missing until you've gotten a break."

I throw my head back in utter relief and slump my shoulders, "Thank you sooo much Liu, you have no idea how much this means to me—"

I get cut off when the broom suddenly comes flying out of Liu's hand into my face and smacks me right in nose—hard.

"L—LIUY7–!???"

"No bitch! Second thought, take back the damn broom and do these fucking chores yourself! Lazy ass!"

I stare at Liu in disbelief. I blink cause I heard the voice coming from Liu, yet I've never heard him speak so rudely before, nor have I seen him go out of his way to hurt someone in the mansion. Then again, I haven't really hung around Liu that much my time at the mansion so...

I'm lost for words as I stare at him while he's now scowling at me so suddenly. "B-But you just said—"

"I don't give a damn what Liu said, I'm not doing your work. Also, I hope you step on a Lego. Twit."

I think just by hearing those words coming from Liu specifically, I have finally unlocked the ability to cry.

"God please shut up. That was so uncalled for. What's wrong with you?" Liu suddenly hisses, but seemingly at himself....?

"No what's wrong with you? Doing other peoples chores? What the absolute fuck Liu?"

"I just wanted to help them out!"

"Why don't you help us both out and actually go get your own life instead of trying to make everyone else's better?? This is exactly how people take advantage of you!"

Liu seems to start arguing with himself. I think. I don't know, I'm just really confused right now...

After standing there just awkwardly watching this whole interaction ensue for at least more than five minutes, Liu's eyes finally return to mine and he scratches his head with an embarrassed expression posed on his face.

"Sorry about him, (Y/N). Sully can be...pretty mean."

Sully? Maybe he's mocking me...if he doesn't actually want to help do the chores, he didn't have to go through all of this to make that a point...or maybe he suffers from an extreme case of DID...?

"It's the latter, (Y/N)..." I heard Slender' sigh in my head and I look up, seeing him floating by. "Sully is Liu's personality he developed after his brother attempted to kill him. Sully is very much... his own person now. Just ignore him like the rest of us do..."

"Hey ignore this, fuckface!" Liu or Sully suddenly yells at Slender, flipping him off with both hands, but Slender only glided away, not paying him any mind.

"That...would've been great to know when I first met you, Liu" I sigh, looking gloomily at my broom. I don't know who's in control now till I hear the softer of his voice respond, "Sorry (Y/N), I don't like introducing Sully to new people, especially since he's such an jerk. But uh, I still don't mind helping you out with your chores...?"

He then immediately frowns and the gruffer voice—Sully—suddenly snaps "That's it. Ima fuckin' strangle you stupid care bare ass idiot!"

Then Sully or Liu or whatever the hell is going here on grabs themself by the neck and starts strangling themselves.

I'm...intrigued. Kinda scared. Little bit of both. Sully kinda reminds me of Jeff. Who I kinda...hate and don't hate at the same time...? Anyways, I don't know how to deal with this or if I should even bother, so I shrug and causally leave the broom leaning against the wall so Liu could take care of my chores whenever he was done arguing with Sully, then I quickly run off heading upstairs for my room.

After accidentally running into Puppeteer and him being lonely so I ended up having to talk to him for a bit to cheer him up, then getting jump scared by Vix suddenly appearing in front of my face again, I finally get to my bedroom and lock the door, diving into my bed.

I look over at my my alarm clock and see that it's 7:00PM. I set a timer for an hour so I could wake up and go back to take over the chores, then I plop my face down in my pillow and fall asleep.

༒༒༒

I wake up to the loud sounds of my alarm going off and warily open my eye. Before I could focus on the alarm though, I notice at the same time it feels like my bed is being jumped on so I turn and see Sally there, jumping up and down on it like it's a trampoline.

"Sally? Whatcha doing...." I ask. She stops when she sees that I'm up and seems to sigh in relief, but then the relief quickly turns to nervousness and she starts stuttering slightly, "G-Good, you're up! Liu s—says we need to leave soon...so you should get r-ready."

"Huh?" I respond, sitting up. It's then when I sit up that I notice something absolutely strange. I'm in my bedroom...no, not my bedroom at the mansion. I'm in my actual old bedroom, same one from my old home. My eyes widen and I frantically scramble out of the bed, staring at the familiar surroundings in shock and confusion. "U-Um (Y/N)? It's not safe to keep your alarm ringing like that! You should turn it off..." Sally murmured, hugging her bear tightly.

I glare at her for a bit but I don't question it and quickly turn off my alarm because that shit is annoying. While touching the alarm I noticed the time was saying 6:06AM. Oversleep much? I look again at Sally and mutter, "What are we doing in my old house..."

"Um...because Liu thought it would be a safe place to hideout, r-remember? No one lives here now, plus there would be no need for anyone to check here, so that's why we came here last week..." She then scratched her cheek, "but Liu said last night we might have to move now because someone found out about this place..."

I'm trying to wrap my head around the situation but I don't understand what she's even talking about. "Sally. What are you talking about? What do you mean we're 'hiding out' here and 'someone found out'? What are we hiding from? Why did we even come here in the first place??"

Sally seems to look at me strangely as I ask these questions, as if these were things I should've known. "You don't.... remember anything?"

"No...Sally I was literally just sleeping in my bed at the mansion and now I'm suddenly here in this place."

Sally looks down, looking unsure of what to say, then she quickly hops off my bed. "I'm going to go tell Liu. Be right back." She then ran out of the room and shut the door.

I start looking around at me room again but notice some slight differences. The window to my room was completely boarded up with wooden boards and my old lamp was broken—instead on the table was a small candle with a very dull light that was basically the only light source in the room. I notice my Zweihander is leaned next to the bed, so I grab that and buckle the sash around my waist to carry it at my side, then I walk out of the room because I don't feel like staying here.

The whole house was dark and the windows were all boarded like the one in my room. The light sources were just candles placed around here and there, so I use those to guide my through the familiar halls of my old house and down the stairs.

When I get down, I go and see that Sally is in the kitchen are and so is Liu—it seems like they're trying to gather stuff in there.

"Liu, Sally?" I call out to them, and the two quickly turn, seeing me approaching. "(Y/N)...." Liu's voice sounded sullen and tired as he got up from where he was kneeling grabbing stuff out of the pantry. "Sally's been telling me... you're acting like you can't remember our situation here?"

"I'm not acting. What the hells going on?" I respond, narrowing my eyes. Liu sighed and he glared at me with a tilted head, "You're saying you don't remember how SlenderMan banished you from his woods after deciding you were not needed as his proxy anymore? How every killer is hunting you down and trying to kill you right now? If it weren't for me and Sally taking off with you, you'd be done for..."

My eyes felt like they were about to pop out of my head and my brain felt shattered. "Why would I—I—Slender would—Is this a JOKE??"

"No..." Sally said, stepping up beside Liu. "We would never trick you (Y/N). But...I still don't know why you became the way you did. I thought you cared about us...." She then lowered her head and leans against Liu, her body starting to shake. Liu wrapped an arm around and sighed before slowly looking back at me. "I ...don't understand your intentions, but...I want to help you, (Y/N). We both do. Even though you're no longer one of us."

Both my eyes twitched as I tried to process this information. "What...what did I do? I do care about you all—and why does Slenders suddenly get to decide he doesn't need me?"

My eyes then widen as I realize, "Is this all because I let you do my chores, Liu??? It was only supposed to be for about an hour! Slenders couldn't be that angry about me letting someone help, right? Why is it—I swear I just woke up and now everything is completely different—what happened while I was sleep? Did i sleepwalk or something? What's going on??" I fall to my knees nonstop questioning myself and falling deep into paranoia.

"Wow...so you really truly have lost your memory..." Liu uttered, slowly stepping up to me. "That...probably explains why you're not being so cruel towards me and Sally like before. I truly wonder what's going on here..."

Sally cautiously pulled away from Liu and stepped up to me, a nervous expression dawned on her face as she came closer. "(Y-Y/N)....? You don't hate us anymore?"

I lift my head and look at the little girl, completely dumbfounded. "Of course I don't hate you. I never hated you, I never will...."

Sally's lip trembled and she suddenly threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me tightly, "This is the (Y/N) I remember! I missed you so much! Why—how come you're suddenly like this again though? Did you lose your memory? Was it all a bad dream? Or were you just taking out your anger on us since Slendey...you know."

"I must have been," I utter lowly, "I wouldn't mean to be hostile to Slender, nor any of you. But ...I don't see how he suddenly wants to throw me out like this." I look to Liu and see that he's studying me closely, as if trying to figure out why I'm 'suddenly acting good' towards them."

I narrow my eyes at him and gently let Sally go, "Liu. Please throughly explain to me everything that's going on right now. Start to finish—begin."

༒༒༒

Okay so in short all the creepy noodles are trying to kill me.

Whatever the fuck reality I'm stuck in this time, Slender came to the golden decision that he should've came up with when he first kidnapped me months ago and decided that I was now completely useless.

There goes all that 'special chosen one' crap, I guess.

Liu explained that he ordered the proxies to kill me off, but I ran from them and Liu and Sally were the only ones to help me escape. SlenderMan couldn't allow someone with information of the mansion, the killers, and all else that I knew run around freely so he ordered all of the killers to track me down and bring me back to the mansion and shut me up once and for all.

He also explained that I had apparently changed—I had started acting hostile towards him and Sally despite them helping me and all, I had pushed them away and started treating them like trash. Basically, I seemed to have been taking out my frustrations and hurt on them.

Nice.

"I'll take the chores back. I'll do them all without complaining," I fell to my knees with my head held back to the ceiling once Liu was done explaining my situation. "Just please, please let this all be a joke."

"Oh for fucks sake, it's not a joke. This is real life, dumbass, stop crying about it if you want to live and do something already to save yourself!"

Well, that attitude sounds familiar.

"Um....I think (Y/N) lost their memory, Sully..." Sally murmured softly, glaring at Sully who was now scowling at me. "If they don't stop whining I'll make sure they lose some more," Sully scoffed, raising his sleeve. "Seriously. Who pissed in your cereal man," I mumble, really not in the mood to get into a fight with him.

I just want to fully understand Slender's reasoning for dropping me as his proxy and why this was all happening in the span of what was only supposed to be an hour nap...

A muffled banging noise comes from one of the boarded up windows in the house, immediately causing the three of us to look in said direction in alarm. "Dammit, they've finally found us..." Liu hissed, quickly turning and heading back into the kitchen. Me and Sally follow and I see he was stuffing a bag up with supplies; mostly food, water, what looks to be sheets, flashlights, and other survival needs.

"We need to leave, now."

"Let me go grab my backpack!" Sally whispered frantically, turning and rushing for the steps. "Hurry up, hurry up. (Y/N), I know your memories have completely poofed but we need to get outta here. Go grab your bag, it's underneath your bed upstairs."

I nod at Liu and quickly run back to the stairs, entering into my old room again. I look under the bed and see a big backpack stuffed underneath, so I grab it and pull it out. After hurriedly swinging one arm over my shoulder, I rush back downstairs, catching up with Sally.

"Let's go!" Liu ordered us, pulling his bag on, then we follow him as he leads the way to where the basement of my house was just when we hear the banging and kicking of door and window boards getting more intense.

We all run down and then Liu hurried to the hatch that leads to outside of the house. There was a lock, but he broke it with the heavy sledgehammer he had tied to his waste and slowly pushes the door open.

Liu, Sally, and I all peek out from a small gap of the open hatch, looking around to make sure no killers were nearby. After getting Liu's "ok" signal, he pushes open the hatch and we all quietly sneak out and start running across the street, away from my house.

I look back and see some of the Creepypastas trying to break into my house, and a few of them were finally successful at taking out some entree points. Lucky we had gotten out when we did...

I still couldn't believe everyone was trying to kill me and Slender wanted me gone...

I was starting to feel a pain deep down inside that hurt more than when I had to murder my own parents...
