10 years later…
Jackie sat in the wooden crate she slept in, filled with newspapers and fabric scraps. She pulled her ragged hoodie tighter as more freezing November rain hit her. Sighing, Jackie turned to sleep when she saw a flicker of movement. A… dog? “Meh. Sleep.” Jackie mumbled. The dog barked in her ear, causing her to jump. “WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!” Jackie yelled, her voice scratchy from the cold. The dog bared its teeth, but it’s teeth were.. Human? “Hey buddy, where’s your family?” Jackie asked softly, holding her hand out for the dog to sniff. The dog whined, looked to the woods and looked at Jackie. “Oh ok. I can follow you.” Jackie followed the dog into the woods, wondering why it chose her instead of some other person. After about 30 minutes of following the dog and still no sign of this house, Jackie began to feel like she was being followed. A slight cough behind her caused her to whirl around, terrified. “Who’s there?”
Jeff, a woman with black hair and black eyes, an elf with bleeding eyes, a black and white clown, and three others besides Slenderman were there. Jackie began to back away. “Um..” Jeff slowly walked forward.
“Hi Jackie. Do you remember me?” Jackie nodded, her fear momentarily gone before coming back.
“Yeah. You’re Jeff, there’s Slenderman, but the others… wait, does the dog belong to you?” Jackie asked, gesturing towards the dog, whom of which ran towards the elf’s side.
“Yeah, this is good old Smile Dog. I’m BEN Drowned.” The woman stepped forward.
“I’m Jane. The guy in the blue mask is EJ, the one in the yellow hoodie is Hoodie, and this is Ticci Toby.” The three guys waved. The clown waved and smiled.

“I’m Laughing Jack.” Jackie nodded warily.
“I-I’m Jackie. Can you guys explain to me why Smile came to me instead of some other kid?” The group looked at each other.
“Well, um, it’s kind of hard to. You see, Jeff and Slender have been looking for you for the past ten years.”
Jackie’s eyes widened. “Why me? Last time I checked, I turned into a demon in front of them and I was scared of myself and I ran. So why are they searching for me?” Ben scratched the back of his neck, grimacing.
“Um…” Suddenly, they all froze at a dark figure behind Jackie.
“Jackie RUN!!” EJ yelled. Jackie stumbled out of the way, her eyes switching spots as well as her hair from fear.
“Ah, the little demon has returned,” Zalgo spoke smoothly, looking at Jackie.
“What do you want from me?” Jackie screamed, her eyes bright with tears.
“What I want? Ah, but do you know what you want?” Jackie froze.
“W-what do you mean?” Zalgo chuckled.
“Your real parents. They made you, Jackie. The angels said you should never have been born.” Jackie gasped, falling against a tree, grasping it for support.
“T-they really said that?” Zalgo nodded.
“Yes, Jackie. Come with me. You technically belong to me because you are one of my kind.”
“JACKIE DON’T LISTEN TO HIM! HE’S A LIAR AND-” LJ was cut off by being thrown to the ground. “LJ!” Jane screamed.
Jackie’s vision turned red. She slowly walked towards Zalgo, her hair flowing like black and white fire. Her eyes glowed like twin fires. Extending a hand towards the sky, a black iron hand flew into her hand. “What do you want from me?” she growled, going towards Zalgo, the sword glowing white. Her hair went pure white and her eyes turned sky blue. Angel wings sprouted from her back.
“THE HECK IS THIS KID?!” LJ yelled.
“I belong to no one.” Jackie threw the sword towards Zalgo, vanishing as it left her hand.
“Okay, is no one going to talk about what the heck just happened?” EJ whispered.
“WHERE DID JACKIE GO?!”
