Chapter : 7 The One

- Author -

Everyone's jaws literally dropped to the ground, or at least if it was an animation they would have. Everyone stared at Slender waiting for him to crack up saying it was a joke or... something. They must have misheard him... why would she be the head of slender mansion, it literally has his name in it and everything. Cheshire herself just fell limp under Jeff wide socketed. "Wh-ha-hat?!" Masky was the first to find his voice. Slender calmly turned his head towards him and repeated, "Cheshire is the head of the house." Masky took a step back. "Heh good one slender," Cheshire spoke up even though she knew it wasn't a joke in the slightest. "Cheshire of all of the Creepy pastas in this room I would expect you to know I'm not joking," Slender responded in a monotone voice. "I knew," Cheshire whisper-squeaked averting her eyes. "W-WHAT!?!?" Jeff yelled, "THIS THING????" He said pointing a leathery finger in the squished girl's face. Slender just nodded.

"Slender, you should explain to them why," A voice from the bottom of the stairs called. The crowd blocked her from sight and they parted revealing the one and only Rumour. Slender turned his head towards her. Meanwhile Grinny had come to his senses and pushed Jeff off a wheezing Cheshire who was to stunned to move, even if she was able to very easily. She silently thanked him.

"Wait you already know why?" BEN's voice sounded and anyone who wasn't staring at the clearly uncomfortable Rumour turned their heads so she was now the pure center of attention. She nodded stiffly like a robot. "Yes she stumbled across me when I was in the middle of sorting out documents on the one." Everyone's heads snapped toward Slendy. "The o-one?" Toby asked. "Yes," Slendy answered simply.

"Okay done with one word answers, spill it, NOW Slender," Jane ordered. Slendy nodded, "There used to be a legend on a person or thing that has the potential to be the most powerful thing," He paused and everyone looked at Cheshire, "So in the world or universe?" asked a rather unusually serious LJ. "Ever across all time space continums. I have met one before, I didn't believe the legend before I did. But they were not from our galaxy or even timeline. They showed me the anti-void between all timelines of our worlds and even others. It was all to much for me. In fact the only one truly able to understand it is the one," he paused again to take a break. "The one's creation tale was destroyed in attempts to save itself. Only the one knows it. The one has the power to know and do everything. Cheshire's power will only grow until she is able to command time itself. Though she may choose to switch things up a little. Life as the one is torturous as the one is eternal. She cannot die and lives forever," he paused and looked at Cheshire sadly. This whole time her facial expression hadn't changed. "She is beyond our immortality, she is unable to die. There is only one way but the consequences are more painful and torturous then a normal death. That's usually why they hold on for so long. The last one unfortunately fell into the wrong hands for too long. After destroying her timeline to end suffering she came here and fell into the hands of Zalgo. He tricked her for a long time and he made her create something she called control crystals. They gave him powers he shouldn't have making it easier for the next one to fall into his hands. Having the one on his side gave him access to almost anything. By the time she realized her mistake of joining an evil force he already had the crystals. But only after killing one of my creepy pastas did she realize. They talked sense into her but Zalgo used his crystals to make her kill them. Their creepy pasta name was Insanity and he was one of the first killers I came across. In the end the one joined our forces but I didn't let her lead in fear that she would betray us due to Zalgo's crystals. She understood and accepted my decision. But she put us under word binding, causing any creepy pasta to obey her commands. But that was just before she destroyed herself from existence," He paused, his voice full of sorrow. "I finally found out that she had lived for countless years, so long there wasn't a number for it. She couldn't take it anymore and set a spell on all to be creepy pastas. Cursing us with this symbol." he paused and lifted his sleeve, "If you can do the honors Cheshire," everyone turned to her and she nodded, she walked over to him grabbing his wrist. She closed her eyes and gold veins glowed spreading across her hand. She opened her 'eyes' again and removed her hand. The speechless pastas looked at the now gold glowing X on slender's wrist. "This is the binding, I promised I would find the future one but she found us. Now you must understand, Cheshire here has the power to create other timelines and worlds but she also has the power to destroy them. So threatening her is dangerous," Everyone looked at Cheshire who had remained calm the whole time.

"Why are you the only one apart from Rumour and Slendy who don't look shocked by this?" Masky asked her like an idiot. "I already knew," she responded.

"So your the new leader of the house?" Hoodie asked quietly, "no, I already decided while Masky asked the question with slender that we will be sharing the position," Cheshire answered. Slender shook his head but didn't object. He took his leave and teleported out of the room. Everyone looked at Cheshire, then Toby thought of something, "Can y-you show m-me where my m-mark is?" He asked excitedly, sure Cheshire smiled her infamous grin. She touched the twitchy boy's left collar bone and the gold veins appeared. He looked at the mark excitedly when she removed her hand. Some more of the pastas asked to see theirs. Jane's was on her right shoulder blade, BEN's was on his leg, Masky's was on his neck, Hoodie's was on his lower back, LJ's was on his upper left arm. None of the others bothered to come over. Their marks would appear after they wake up.

-You-

After that strange experience I left the pastas and headed for the office. I didn't knock but simply leaned in the door way, silently opening the door. Slender had his back to me. His tall, oddly shaped figure gleamed and fought against the remaining moonlight. I knew he was distressed even without my knowledge it would have been a smack in a book for a human. I sighed causing him to jump and slowly turn around, relived to find it was just me. I pushed my way up off the door frame, it rippled with my movements like water, but I straightened it out. I shut the door and he sat down in his office chair. "Black Rose loved you too," I said quietly knowing he was listening. "She only rejected you because she had to go and didn't want to hurt you more." "I know," he sighed sadly. "I met her sister," I said remembering the dream, my powers have grown stronger and my knowledge greater. "What? When?" He asked. "In a dream, she gave me the first amulet," I said lifting the black necklace around my neck. He nodded, "I remember your crying that day, mustn't have been a pleasant dream considering her relations with hell." I nodded. "Does their spirits ever visit you?" I ask him quietly. "Rose used to visit me in my dreams while she was dying, I'm not sure what she was trying to tell me because all I could see was her burning and hear her screaming in pure agony," he said sadly. "Lynda made me burn," I said, "I watched my spirit dress burn, my wings were burnt a charcoal black, and my hair was singed." He nodded, "what did she charge you for?" I shook my head, "murder."

After a few more explanations I had enough and tested my growing powers. I pushed my hand through the wall. It rippled as if it were water and I walked straight through it. Slender just watched in awe.

I went back down stairs and stretched, yawning as I went and sat down on the couch. EJ was at the opposite end to me staring off into space. I looked at him but decided not to intrude his thoughts. I looked at the TV.

"Hey Cheshire?" A voice broke my train of thought. I turned to find Eyeless was the one asking, "yeah?" He met my gaze for a split second, "can you show me where my mark is?" I nodded and he stood up. I analysed him with my powers and found it was on his cheek. I put my hand on his mask, but he's removed it and took his mask off before letting me try again. But when I lifted it instead of a gold x there was a silver one. "H-hey? Are you anyone's proxy?" I asked. "No," he said. I furrowed my eyebrows. My powers weren't advanced enough for me to hack this one. "What's wrong with it?" He asked unsurely. "It's silver."

I sighed stuff just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Eyeless pulled his mask down hiding the mark. I pursed my lips together before sighing again. I was tired I need to go someplace where the is no sound, no one to disturb me. So I left the timeline. I fell into the floor and got engulfed in white. This is the anti-void. There is literally nothing here. My eyes were getting droopier and I realised the my powers were coming on again. I don't know how long I'm going to be asleep so I tiredly forced my way into the timeline and into my room, or rather a room. An empty one which contained only a single white bed and desk. I crawled over to the bed and dropped onto it. Falling asleep.

-Author-Cheshire fell asleep for a long time, when she wakes up she will be the one. She will have gained all her powers and need to go into a realm called the dimensions to properly activate it. She is unable to activate it until she gets the white amulet after gaining it she will be able to change into her true form. After she has changed she will receive a third amulet, all these amulets are in the shapes of x's.

When the others found Cheshire they told Slender. He partly knew what was going on and told no one to worry. Sometimes pastas would go in the room to hide from the world because she seemed to create a white light, it was peaceful and silent, little balls of light glittered. But one who seemed to go there most was EJ. He found the quiet comforting and if he ever had bad dreams he would go to her room. He spent a lot of time reading in the silence sometimes aloud, wondering if she could hear it.

Days turned to months and months turned into a full year before the girl they had hardly met awoke. Sometimes a pasta would enter and find Toby talking to her, stuffing his mouth with waffles, or Grinny petting her tail and ears or even Slender, checking up on her. But most commonly Eyeless either reading aloud or reading to himself. Not to say the others didn't go there, every once in a while Jane and Clockwork would go there and talk or do make overs or something and if your very lucky a Judge Angels singing to her quietly. Jeff held a grudge for a while but eventually he forgave her and would sit in there rambling on about fights or issues with the others.

But Slender was worried about what her reaction would be when she awakes.
