                            (YOUR POV)
                          
ITs been about a week since the break in and I still couldn't think of where that phrase came from. 
  Right then I remembered I had a laptop shoved in my closet on the top shelf. 
    I grabbed it barely with my fingertips. I groaned as the feeling of being stretched flooded my arms.
 "OK let's get down to business" I whispered to myself. I sat on my bed with the laptop in my lap.
  I opened the laptop and clicked the Google chrome sign. 
 In the search engine I typed "Go to sleep" and pressed enter.
 Suddenly on the web exploded with info, I read "Jeff the killer last sighted....."
"Jeff the killer stabbed 8 year girl 15 times"
Shocked at the results I clicked images and there he was, pictures of the man that tried to kill me. With that eye watering smile. I couldn't believe any of it so I ran down the hall to grab my mom and dad.
                          
"MOM!!! DAD!!" I hollered running down the hallway to my parents room. 
 "What is it sweetie?" My mom asked walking out the room in her Looney toons PJs.
"I found him! I found him!" I squealed almost jumping up and down. Dad walked out with his captian America shirt and black shorts "found who y/n?" He asked.
"The man that broke in and tried to kill me last week! Come on!" I grabbed their hands and led them to my room.
                          
They stared at the computer screen for like 20 minutes looking at pictures and news about Jeff the killer.  
"Y/n you're sure this is the man?" my mom asked looking at me worried. I nodded , "see I told you phsyco path." my dad said still looking at my laptop. "I'll go to the police station today and let them know who we are looking for."  "OK mom" I nodded biting my thumb nail. My dad kissed my forehead "go get cleaned up we got a big day today and those shorts are shrinking by the minute" he smiled walking out. I chuckled "OK dad".
                          
                  (Jeffs POV)
  " NO I DIDNT GET HER! WHAT DO THINK IM COMPLAINING ABOUT!" I yelled at slender man throwing my hands in the air.  I winced at my pain of shoulder, so I slowly lowered my arms.
 Slender mans faceless face was getting redder with anger "YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER YOU SAID YOU COULD DO IT! He yelled back towering over me.
 "SHE CALLED THE COPS , WHO FREAKING SHOT ME IN THE SHOULDER AND HAND GOD DAMMINT!!" I yelled showing him my wounds. 
 Slenderman sighed "just make sure you get her no later than this week if not there will be consequences." I rolled my eyes "what's he gonna do put me out?" I thought to myself.
                          
I walked to my room to rewrap my hand. When suddenly Ben walked in "what was that about?" He asked tilting his head, "nothing" I replied 
"It was about something your face is red" he smirked. Finally I sighed "slender man got pissed because I didn't kill that girl you didn't want to deal with." I said wrapping my hand in white bandages. Bens face made an ooo expression while takeing off his green hat reviling his blonde hair.
    "Well you'll get her this week right?" 
"Don't I always?" I chuckled, Bens mouth made a line and he pushed my head "ouch!" I held my head with my good hand looking at him "what happened to you man?"  He asked wide eyed.
 I pointed to my head "got hit in the head with bat by that girl and ...." I pointed to my bad hand and shoulder "got shot by the cops"
     "Pffft that aint nothing, did you see Toby's? His target had a whip, A WHIP, WHAT KIND OF SINGLE OLD LADY KEEPS A WHIP!" He squealed throwing his hands in the air while  walking out. I chuckled shaking my  head then resuming to my wound.

Later that day I headed out to my targets house and climbed the tree next to her window that I jumped out of.
 She was sitting on the bed while talking on the phone fumbling with some papers. 
 I shifted in the tree to look in the parents room, they weren't there. I climbed down the tree and hopped the fence to their backyard. Looking through one of the windows I didn't  see them "gone... perfect" I whispered to my self with triumph. Quickly I climbed back to my target's window and peeked inside ready to break in, until I saw her changing. I felt my face get warm and I jumped from the tree. "Looks like its not happening today" I whispered to myself running back to the mansion.
 I got to the woods when I stopped and looked back at my targets house "hmm...maybe" I thought to myself but I quickly shook away the thought and keep running.

I laid in my bed in my room twirling my knife when someone knocked on my door "go away" I called "OK" then Ben walled in "I said go away" "your go away is my come in" he smirked.
  "So did you get her?" He asked sitting on the floor next to my bed.
 " no had some...uh promblems" I said still twirling my knife.
  "Oh yea? What kind?" He asked tiliting his head.
  I stopped twirling my knife "uh..." I felt my face get hot as I tried to think of something. 
 "Whoa Jeff......" his eyes sent wide then he smirked "don't tell me.." he said putting his hands up and shaking his head "......you like her!" "No I don't ! " I raised my voice about to throw my knife at him. 
 Ben chuckled "Jeff its obvious if you ask me, I mean usually your straight up but wow" he chuckled shaking his head "Ben I'm gonna kill you " I chuckled, I knew I couldn't hide anything from Ben he could read me like a magazine but I didn't like me target thats wrong and wierd ....did I?
   " im already dead remember?" He chuckled.
   I sighed "I don't know Ben..." I ran my hand through my hair. "I accidently saw her change and I couldn't do it." 
 Ben stared at me wide eyed before looking away, "what?" I asked looking at him "really? At least your excuse is better than mine" 
" what? How?" I asked "I couldn't kill her because well i -I....
I don't want to talk about it" 
I eyed him closely trying to find something but I couldn't he had a poker face even when he was showing expression. 
" listen I'll  help you find out some stuff about her and all of that, but you have to promise that you won't tell slender man that I had a reason I couldnt  kill that girl OK?" He said getting up and walking out.
   "Alright Ben" I called as I laid back down twirling my knife.
"Ben had a reason? He said he didn't feel like it...." I thought to my self before  laying my knife on my stomach and drifting off to sleep.
