Ch. 90

                                    

                                          
    "I'm finished!" Clockwork shouted as the clock rang throughout the mansion- it had just hit midnight. "But, it can't turn back time unless we find some sort of magic item. Maybe we could go to the Puppeteer and he could make one for us?" She suggested. Everyone agreed and we all went out of the mansion and through the now dripping forest, as it had rained an hour earlier. "So where did you get that magic to make the original pocket watch?" I asked, taking off my hat to scratch my blond hair. 
    "Well, I may have stolen it from someone but who cares about that. Let's go." Clockwork lead us all to Mr. Smiley's shack, and in no time, we were all there. "BEN, check if Smiley's inside." Said Jeff, looking through one of the broken windows. "Ok... but why do I have to do-" 
    "Just do it." Jeff snickered and pushed me in the doorway. "We'll be waiting." 
    I took a step inside, all the lights were off. 
    This is just Mr. Smiley's house, why am I so scared? Am I... scared of the dark?
    I remembered my father drowning me, and leaving me in the depths of the lake. Falling deeper, and deeper, and- I shook my head. "Stop it BEN." I muttered and went off into the dark, taking slow but stealthy steps. "Mr. Smiley? Puppeteer? Hello?" I opened the closest door that was near me- I believe it was the kitchen, since it was really dark- and saw a big figure. "You seem taller than I remember, Mr. Smiley." I said, as the thing moved closer. "Do you have a-" Once again, I got interrupted by a hand grabbing my neck. 
    "Where's Clockwork?" It spoke, but its voice was deep and dangerous. "S-She's ou- wait a second, why do you want to know?" The grip tightened a bit. "Tell me." 
    "What are you ganna do about it?" I asked, tilting my head and narrowing my eyes to look more tough. "Even though you're dead, I can still kill you." He said, the voice was definitely male. "How?" I asked, trying to pull his grip off me. "I know you're dead, but if your living right now, standing and walking around in this world called Earth, I can kill you again." 
    "Ok, Ok! She's outside." I was suddenly dropped and the guy walked out, into a dim light that was in the hallway. "Zalgo?!" I shouted and ran out before him to tell the others he was coming. "Zalgo's here! Clockwork, he wants to see you!" Everyone jumped as I ran out and Clockwork's face was horrified. "Clockwork!" Zalgo yelled out and marched up to her. "Why couldn't you kill y/n? You woke me up from death for nothing?! I didn't want to be disturbed! What do you have to say about yourself?" Everyone shuddered and stepped away from the demon, careful not to anger him. Slenderman stepped forward, but Sally stopped him, since she didn't want him getting hurt.
    "I'm sorry! I was just really jealous! I'm sorry- I really am! What do you even want though? I thought you said you didn't care." Clockwork crossed her arms in a challenging way. The demon glared at her. "Now that I know that the world is cruel and stupid, I honestly don't want to live again. I know, it sounds weird and I'd rather order people around but I liked it when I didn't have to do anything. Just watch and sit around, having the time of my life and finally resting. That was all good and happy until you summoned me! Now, I have to live again and wait till I die. You've wasted some of my magic. I didn't care at first but now I really do. Never bother me again, Clockwork." Zalgo snarled at her before jumping at Slenderman with a claw. "Slenderman!" I shouted and kicked Zalgo's leg so he missed. He growled and walked off into the forest, glaring daggers into all of us. We all settled down for a moment, and the rest of the creepypastas were teleported back to the mansion. "I don't want them to get hurt, I'll leave Jeff with you so you have some help finding Mr. Smiley and The Puppeteer." Slenderman said before using teleportation to go to the mansion with the others.  
    "Did you even find Mr. Smiley and the Puppeteer while you were in there?" Asked Jeff, who was leaning on the house. "No, I didn't see them. I only ran into Zalgo. Can you just hurry up and come with me and help me look for them? Slenderman said you had to." I smirked, pleading with eyes no one could resist. "Fine." Jeff sighed, and put a hand on my shoulder before going off with me into the broken house. 
    We both heard a bottle crash on the ground and shatter. "Is he gone yet?" A timid but energetic voice asked. "Mr. Smiley?" I asked, "Where are you?" I tried to walk closer to the voice, Jeff pointing to a doorway. "Let's look in there." He said. As we walked there, I was still phased by Zalgo and everything else. "Everything happens so fast, I'm scared Jeff. What if we can't find y/n? What if something happens to her?" Jeff pat me on the back and gave me a bigger smile. "Don't worry BEN, we'll get her back." Just then, Mr. Smiley and an injured Puppeteer limped out of the office door, one room away from the one Jeff and I were looking in. 
    "Is everything ok?" I asked as Jeff and I both rushed to them. I tried to help The Puppeteer walk but was too short, so Jeff took over. "When Zalgo came, Puppet tried to fight him off but he got hurt. Did Zalgo hurt you guys?" Mr. Smiley explained. "No, we're all fine. We need The Puppeteer's help though, but I think he'll have to heal first. Puppet? Can you create some kind of magic item thingy?" I asked, turning to the wounded creepypasta.
    "I'll attempt it." He said, as he limped off with Jeff to get some help.
