Me and the proxies spent hours fighting each other and getting me trained up a bit for my first day.

We were being overlooked by SlenderMan, so it was important that I did my best.

I know I tended to get goofy and mess around with Slender, but I did want to make him proud, so I did everything I could to be best.

Things were kind of rough, but luckily the proxies were very supportive of me.

I'm in the middle of a weaponless mock tussle with all four proxies, a 4 on 1. Hoodie punches me so hard in the face that I get stunned for a few seconds.

Kate takes a chance to slide by me and sweeps her leg into mine, causing me to flop backwards. Masky catches me before I hit the ground but then tosses me over onto the ground face forwards. When I thud to the ground, Toby slams a foot onto the back of my head, giving a victorious cheer.

This is fifth fucking time they've done this and they've destroyed me completely.

When Toby finslly removes his foot from my head, he and the others go to help me up.

"Very well you four, I'm proud of your team work to take down The Walker," SlenderMan said, clapping his hands together.

There's blood trickling down from my nose, and I wipe it away, letting out a sigh. "Slenders, can we stop with the 4 on 1 now? I don't understand how that's supposed to help me, four experienced killers going up against me whose only had a four hour lesson on how to throw a basic punch..."

SlenderMan shook his head and replied, "There are other forces and killers outside of this mansion who are enemies to us Creepypasta, some who are much stronger than us in many ways. You will not only be going out to kill humans. It is important you are ready to face any number under any condition. Trust me, after going against these four a few times, you will begin to come up with a way to avoid and conquer their attacks on you. You just have to be patient."

It's hard to remain patient when you've been outsmarted and pummeled to the ground countless times, but I guess what Slender says gos.

I wanted to try again and see if I could find a way to counter the proxies.

They've used different tactics each time, so usually I didn't know what to expect, but I was going to keep a sharper eye out now so I could try and get around their attacks.

The proxies were getting ready to attack me again, so I too ready myself, but more so to get beat up again.

This time it's Kate who lunges at me first with her incredible speed, so much that she was just a blur of white heading straight for me.

In that second I quickly dash aside so she would miss, but as she passed by me she reached out her arms and rung me by the neck, taking me down with her.

As soon as we hit the floor, I see Hoodie going to make his move so I quickly pull away from Kate getting myself back on my feet and am ready when Hoodie was swinging his arm at me.

I grab his hand, stopping it from reaching my face and grin, but then I hear him chuckle and he raises his knee, kneeing me in the stomach. I gag and stumble backwards, trying to keep myself together, gosh it hurt.

I hear foot steps behind me and an arm wrings around my neck, looks like Toby's sleeve.

I strain to turn around and I manage to maneuver behind him, being released from his hold and I wrap my arms around him from behind, planning to pick him up and do a backwards hurl on the ground.

Toby however grabs onto my arms and when I'm ready to fling him backwards, he instead hurls me forwards over his back.

Luckily I roll on the ground and am able to get back on my feet.

I feel something warm beneath my nose and notice blood is trickling down again.

I curse under my breath and wipe it away, feeling upset.

Now is Masky's turn, as he begins approaching while tauntingly cracking his knuckles, as if he already knows he's gonna sweep the floor with me. I hear him laugh at me under his mask.

How could a person with such amazing sideburns be so so evil?

Never mind that, I have an idea.

I wait for Masky to get closer with frustration building up inside of me. When he finally gets close enough and he goes to make a move, I lunge first and manage to pull off a stone cold stunner.

Masky's mask flies off from the impact and he's got a look of utter shock after he hit the ground.

"GET FUCKED MASKY--I meanuhhhh... gg... " I mumble while I get up from the floor.

I offer a hand to him to help him up, but he looks like he doesn't want me help. I guess he's mad.

"That was incredible Walker! How did you pull it off??" Kate said, running to me with her voice sounding amazed.

Toby chuckles and slapped my back, "Looks li-like you have a fangirl~"

"Shut up Ticci!" Kate cried, shoving him in the arm.

I look at Kate and grin, then turn to Slender to see his reaction.

Slender nods his head and spoke, "I see your emotions tend to have an impact on how you react sometimes. The frustration of continuously getting beat was beginning to set you off the edge, and so by the final attack with Masky you were at your breaking point which allowed you pull off such a move. Incredible indeed. "

"Or," I chuckled, "I just randomly remembered a finisher from a WWE episode I watched once and used it on Masky at the last second."

"Why the hell'd you hafta use it on me of all people..." Masky mumbled miserably on the ground. Hoodie went over to help his buddy up.

"Teach m-me your ways, Master (Y/N)" Toby said dramatically , bowing to me. "These are sacred arts, Tobias, not just anyone can learn it," I respond dramatically back. "But maybe I can spare a lesson for a rascal like you."

"Alright proxies," SlenderMan called clapping his hands together, "settle down now. I want another match! You now know that if the Walker really puts their mind to it, they have the potential to defeat all of you. You shan't stop until (CP/N) has bested each and every one of you."

The other proxies quickly got themselves together and chanted "Yes sir!" immediately to Slender.

I just shrugged. I wasn't going to like this; I was tired, my nose was starting to bleed again, and it really felt like parts of me were broken from all the hits I've taken.

But, if I really wanted to be any good to SlenderMan and to myself, I had to keep going.

💀💀💀

4 times and I finally bested Ticci-Toby.

13 times and I finally bested Kate The Chaser.

18 times and I finally bested Hoodie.

I managed to beat Masky every single time after the first stunner though.

I was eventually able to guess their movements and either manager to avoid them or counter them.

There were still many, MANY times they all completely demolished me, but now things were falling into place and I wasn't getting downed like a helpless idiot everytime like before.

I actually felt for a while just as powerful as they were, or maybe even just a little bit more than them.

Slender eventually ordered us to throw in our weapons, and after painstaking hours of trying over and over and over again, I eventually pulled myself together with my (W/T) and was able to take on Hoodie's pistol, Masky's crowbar, Toby's hatchets, and Kate's ravaging animalistic attacks.

In the end, all of us were completely damaged.

It wasn't the kind of damage you'd normally expect from training, as this was far from normal training anyways.

I no longer just had a bloody nose, but I had a huge gash across my forearm, a bullet wound in my shoulder, and multiple scratches and big cuts all over my body. My clothes were bloody and torn in places.

Aw man, they ruined my new Creepypasta look!

It wasn't only me but the others had injuries from my weapon too and each other's, because sometimes it was me working with another proxy to fight another.

In total, we've all been roughing it for the past 16 hours.

I'll never in the slightest know how I survived, especially considering it was my first day. But I'm glad I made it through.

I still had a lot to learn though, and a lot of things I had to improve on. Despite many victories today, I was still far from optimal skill.

Slenders told me all of this, but he still made it known that he was proud of my progress.

He thinks I'm going to be an amazing proxy, and that he had no regrets in choosing me.

Gee, that made me feel a lot better!

...Well, not that much better because the amount of blood I was loosing was beginning to make me feel dizzy and I think I could say the same for the others too.

I'm not even sure if Masky is still alive over there, the way he's sprawled in that corner next to all the arsenal.

uh oh.

💀💀💀

Slenders had sent all of us to spend some time in Nurse Ann's room getting healed up and stuff.

By the time all my wounds fully healed, I was going to have so many scars on my body, still counting the one big bite I got from Smile when I first came.

I start feeling better a few hours and I'm getting ready to leave Nurse Ann's room when I notice all the other proxies are gone.

"They heal up pretty fast, their resistance levels being high help," Nurse Ann explained, seeing that I was confused. "Don't worry though, after a while you'll become just like them."

"I hope so. Thanks," I respond, waving to her before I walk out of the room.

I feel better now and I was able to rest up. I was still tired some but I'll just sleep it off later.

I was gonna gonna head to SlenderMan to ask about tommorow's training when suddenly someone grabs my arm and I turn seeing Kate.

I look at her questioningly and she begins pulling back in direction of the training room.

"What?? We're not done for today!?" I panik, not wanting to fight anymore at all today.

"No we are. But there's something we have to do," Kate replied.

When we get in the room, I see the others there, all bandaged up and stuff. But they seem fine.

"Good, y-you got the Walker," Toby said, walking up to us as we came in. Hoodie and Masky also came up to me.

"What's this about?" I asked.

"It's time..." Toby said, smirking beneath his facial gear, and I see that he pulls a dagger from behind his back, getting closee to me with it.

W h a t.

I backed away in alarm but Kate grabs my arms, holding them behind my back and keeps me from escaping.

W h a t ! ?

"What's going on? Is this for the match where I accidentally flung you into Slenders?! I told you I was sorry!" I yell at Toby as he gets close with the dagger.

"Not exactly. It's for something e-else," Toby replied, twitching as he reached and grabbed my left hand, forcing my palm open.

"What're you doing then?"

"Don't worry Walker, it's a little thing between us proxies that we have to do. It's like forming a bond between all of us," Kate said from behind me.

I relax a bit and she let's go of my other arm, then I see Toby take the dagger, raising it over my palm.

"Mind if we draw s-s-some blood, (Y/N)?" He asked, glancing at me.

He didn't even let me respond before jamming the blade into the palm of my hand and dragging it across, causing blood to spurt out and trail down my fingers and onto the ground.

"Ow... " I mumble, having already dealt with enough pain for today.

I see Toby take the same dagger and he removes his glove, then plunging it into his hand. He draws blood but has no reaction whatsoever to the cut.

The dagger gets passed to Hoodie, then to Masky, and then lastly to Kate.

Toby holds out his bleeding hand before him, and the others all do the same, so I join them, our blood all dripping on the floor.

"This, is a bond between proxies. N-Not even S-S-SlenderMan himself could break the tie between us," Toby said, looking at me. "We're like a f-family now, bound together b-by our blood. No matter what, we'll a-always have each other's backs, even if we may g-get on each other's nerves. This is s-something we share that the other don't. This is our pact, our pr-promise that we'll always remain a team, no m-matter what. You guys are all i-ive got...and that means the world to me..."

Toby seemed really emotional when he spoke that, as if he was thinking about something that was affecting him, maybe his past.

"Always Toby. Even if you may get on my last nerves every single day, you're still family and I'll always have your back," Masky said, sounding softer than usual.

"I'll never turn my back on you guys. You guys are my ride or die," Hoodie said nodding his head.

"I know I don't talk much, but I'll always look out for you guys. I'd sacrifice myself for each of you if it ever came to be. The other Creepy pastas are nothing to you guys, " Kate said, turning her head to me.

I look at her for a bit, then at all the others. My eyes then look to the ground, and I see something amazing.

The blood from our hands had all run in together and had formed a huge bloody operator symbol on the ground.

I stared at it in shock, then look back at the others and smile.

This was my family now. My new family. Even though I had only joined them so recently, I already felt so close.

Hoodie. Masky. Toby. Kate.

I'm part of them now. They're part of me.

This is our team.

"I promise..." I start, glancing to each one of them, "that I will work to become stronger everyday. No matter what I will protect all of you. If anyone or anything ever tries to hurt any of you, I'll be there to help. If I have to lay down my worthless life for any of you, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I know I'm new here but... you guys have really been the greatest. I'm glad to be apart of your family."

I can't see any of their expressions because they're all wearing masks, but I had a good feeling they all accepted me. Even grumpy ol' Masky.

"Then it's done. We're one again today, now with (Y/N)," Hoodie said, finally lowering his arm. The rest of us do the same, and the bloody symbol on the floor slowly disappears.

I watch it, amazed. I then look at the other proxies again and grin, feeling a sense of belonging. Man, it feels great to belong! I love our little cult.

I then smile jokingly and cross my arms, looking to bring on a lighthearted mood.

"Alllright guys, so now that we're an official family, Masky, you wanna volunteer to be the Mom?"
