Maliki's pov.

Shaking Nina awake, she shoots up from my bed and looks around confused and scared.

"Where am I!?" She screams, but then notices me.

"You're in my bedroom... in my bed." I say, opening the drawer to my nightstand and handing her a kitchen knife.

"Who... oh... you're Maliki. You helped me kill my bullies... so... I passed the test?" She asked, taking the blade from my hand.

"No, but I don't care too much for tests. I'm not Slenda, and we're going out into the city again to find more victims." I said, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"What's all that for?" Nina asks, pointing to the bag.

"This is snacks and drinks, rope in case we need to fake a suicide or hogtie someone, dog treats because I like giving dogs treats and a solar powered charging brick, in case our phones die." I say, opening the bag and showing Nina the contents.

"Oh... I see... who's Slenda?" Nina asks.

"You ever hear of the Slenderwoman? That's Slenda." I say, pointing to a picture of me and Slenda, standing next to one of my first kills.

"Woah... Slenderwoman? I've heard stories but I never thought she was real." Nina said, standing up and walking over to the photo.

"Ah, my photo wall. Covered in photos of me and all my friends. Me and Liu in a funny pose, me and Tami cutting out some skinheads jugular... there are a lot of pictures." I say, looking them over and remembering the good times.

"Woah.... is that.... Jess the Killer." Nina whispered, looking close at the first picture that Slenda took of me.

When Jess was on top of me in the forest, before I got to know everyone here. My face was full of confusion and Jess's face was the usual wicked smile, but her eyes showed care.

"Does... does she li-

"Maliki! I'm here and I wanna fu... who's that?" Jess said kicking my door in.

Nina stood and looked at Jess.

"Nina, Jess. Jess, Nina." I said.

"Oh, don't tell me she's a fangirl." Jess said.

"You get fangirls? Jealous." I joked, grabbing my phone from the desk.

"Y-you're J-Jess the Killer." Nina said, still staring at Jess.

"I am? I didn't know. Maliki. I'm Jess the Killer." Jess said sarcastically.

"Oh you are? I never noticed. Enough gawking and let's go." I said, snapping Nina out of her trance.

"R-right..." she said, following me.

We left the house and made our way into the city. Finding a few dead bodies on the way.

"Huh... odd." I say, looking at the bodies.

They were fresh and clean, but with a bullet hole in their heads. All of the bodies were males.

"None of the girls at the mansion uses guns... not that I know of at least." I say, standing back up.

We continue into the city and start walking down the street.

"I'm hungry." Nina says, rubbing her stomach.

"We could eat a snack, or We could go to a cafe. Your choice." I said, turning around to face the girl.

"No, I'm fine. Just a bit hungry." She said, looking around.

I still tossed her a bag of chips. After a few minutes of walking, I hear a voice from behind us.

"Nina!" I heard a male voice yell.

I turn around and see a boy I kid of recognize from school. He ran up to Nina and shoved me to the ground.

"Leave me alone!" Nina shouted, pushing the kid away as I stood back up.

"No! I love you Nina! I'll never let you go!" He shouted.

"Leave me alone you stalker! I already said I didn't like you!" Nina yelled, shoving the kid to the ground.

Before the boy could do anything else, Nina started stomping on him. I also started stomping on him because he really deserved it.

"S-stop!" He shouted, and so I stopped Nina from continuing.

I bent down and got right in his bleeding face.

"If you ever do that again to me or my friend... I'll ki-

The cold barrel of a .357 revolver pressed against my chin.

"You stay away from my Nina. I'll kill everyone who keeps me from her." The kid said, looking into my eyes, as he didn't notice my hand about an inch from the gun.

Nina stood here, scared and clueless. I rush the boy and grab the gun, holding it up to the sky and away from my face. The fucker pulled the trigger, sending burning smoke into my face and making my ears ring. With my hand still on the gun, I start wrestling the gun from out of his hand. Rolling around on the ground, I finally rip the gun from his grip.

"AHH! You fucker!" The kid yelled, getting up and gripping his hand.

I looked at the revolver and saw a finger trapped in the trigger guard.

"Heh." I laughed as I checked how many bullets were in the gun.

"Oohh.... i'm gonna keep you." I say, looking back at the kid.

Nina was now in front of me.

"Get the fuck away from us you son of a bitch!" She shouted, gripping her knife.

"L-lemme-

Before the kid could finish what we was saying, Nina stabbed him in the throat. I stood up and looked around, noticing people from all directions looking.

"Well... fuck." I say, grabbing Nina's shoulder.

I tuck her into my chest, covering her ears, and fire two remaining rounds into the boys head.

"Now it's time to GTFO." I said, grabbing Nina's arm and running back towards the forest.

Sirens of ambulances and police cars echoed from behind us as we ran to the woods. The snapping of twigs and branches, and the crunching of leaves mask the sirens as we run through the trees and follow the familiar trail back to the mansion.

"W-where are we going?" Nina asked.

"Home." I said, keeping my grip on her hand.

"You'll lead them to the mansion!" Nina shouted.

"They can't see the mansion. They won't be able to find it. It's weird." I said, the foggy woods coming into sight.

"Foggy woods. We can walk now." I say, slowing down to a stop.

"Why are we stopping?" Nina asks

"Just watch." I say, looking at the regular woods.

To make Nina feel more secure, I stand in front of her. After a few minutes of waiting, we can see police K9 unites sniffing our trail the dogs stop right outside the area of fog and sniff the ground.

"Where'd they go, boy?" An officer asked the dog from feet away.

"The mansion... is weird. It's a perk of being in this group. No matter how many people are after you, the foggy woods are safe." I say, turning around and walking towards the mansion.

We get back home and I place the revolver on my desk,

"What am I going to do with you?" I ask, looking at the gun.

Nina sits on my bed, wondering what she should do.

"Go find Jess or something. Introduce yourself to the others." I say, leaning back in my chair.

"O-ok." She says before leaving the room.

I hear the notification sound from my phone. It's from Tami.

"Come to my room. I have a gift for you." It read.

Standing up, I slide my phone into my pocket, hide the revolver in my drawer and head to Tami's room.
