Clocktowers and The Knife

Clock's POV The rising sun shine through the curtains and into my eyes as the rays lit up my room. Groaning, I rolled over and looked at the digital clock that stood on my night stand. '7:00 AM' the time read "Fuck..." I pushed myself off my bed and headed to my vanity mirror. Sitting down, I eyed my face. Taking note of how the clock in my eye socket stopped ticking. Making a mental note to ask Toby or even Slender to take a look at it. On the other hand, my naturally bright almost neon green eye shone in the sunlight. Only to be obscured by my brown locks falling in front of it. Huffing out a breath I started to detangle and brush my hair when a knock came to my door. "Yeah?" I responded, as the door opened revealing a tall pale man around the age of 21 on the other side. "Breakfast. Boss sent me" Jeffery replied when I met his gaze, before he looked anywhere but at me I swear his cheeks were dusted pink. "Okay, be down in a sec" I said dismissively as he nodded and shut the door when I looked down, I saw what he did. My pajamas weren't the most concealing articles of clothing that I owned, being a tank top and a pair of booty shorts. But I guess that having double D's for a chest will make any tank top look extra good. Sighing I got up and walked over to my dresser. Grabbing a pair of black ripped jeans and a pale blue long sleeve, I was pulling on my jeans when another knock sounded off "Just a minute" I yelled sort of loudly while wiggling into my jeans when my door opened "Clock, Boss- oh fuck..I'm so sorry" Jeffery stood there just staring at my ass and hips. "Jeffery! Close the damn door!" I shouted at him as I finally got my pants on. Storming over, I slammed the door in his face, before he yelled through the door "Boss wants to see us after breakfast so hurry the f**k up" "I'm coming. Now go!" Hearing his footsteps descend the staircase, I buried my face in my hands in utter defeat and humiliation. After sitting like that for another thirty seconds, I slipped on my shirt, socks and combat boots and then headed downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs I could hear the normal chaos that ensued at breakfast in the Proxy Manor. As I rounded the corner, I was greeted to the same scene as every morning. Masky was in the kitchen making eggs and bacon while Hoodie was on pancake duty. Toby was making waffles while Jane and Jeffery were by the pantry arguing over who had to wash the dishes. Meanwhile Ben and Sally were playing Checkers at the coffee table. EJ was reading and LJ was talking to Slender about something I really didn't care about. "Clock! who did dishes last?" Jane shouted at me when I caught her gaze. "You, if I remember correctly" I answered as I looked over. Jeffery glared at me before walking over to the sink and started on the dishes as I stuck my tongue out at him. Picking at my cuticles I walked over to the 'twins' as I call them. I mean Masky and Hoodie. "Hey boys, need any help?" I offered "Nah" came the husky baritone voice that Masky had "Yeah you can help measure the ingredients for the pancakes" Hoodie replied without sparing me a glance at the same time as Masky. "okay" I started grabbing more flour eggs and baking powder when a voice cut through the usually light banter of our mornings. "Clockwork, Toby, Jack, Jeffery. My office. Now" Slender's voice rang in all of our heads. Silently the four of us followed him up the three flights of stairs and into his office. Once inside, we were told to have a seat. So we did. Jack to my left, Toby to my right and Jeffery behind me cause there was only three seats. "D-D-Did w-we d-do s-something?" Toby asked as he ticked and twitched, stuttering over his words. "No boy, You all have a mission. Toby, and Jack. You boys will be going to Canada. You will find the seer at the bottom of the mountains in the north. Clockwork and Jeffery, you two will be going to Clocks hometown in Paris France. There you will meet with the Pope." Slender explained to us. "Canada huh? Sounds fun" Jack was the first to speak up. "C'mon Tobes, let's go get breakfast and then get ready" And the two left. Leaving just Slender, Jeffery and I. "Paris? With her? Boss please. Pair me with literally anyone else" Jeffery tried to plead with him. But we all knew that once you were paired up for a mission there was no getting out of it. "Boy." Slender's warning tone rang in our head and Jeffery's shoulders slumped. "Besides Jeff, you'll finally get to see my hometown," I offered "you keep saying how much you've wanted to visit" He glares at me. Telling me that he did not appreciate what I just said. I laughed silently to myself. "Thank you boss. We'll get ready" I said getting up from my chair, I was about to walk out along with Jeffery, who stormed past me, before I remembered that my clock needed to be reset. "Boss?" I called cautiously "Yes Child?" He answered not raising his head. "Could you take a look at my clock please?" Slender put down his paperwork and motioned for me to come closer, so I did. Taking my face in his enormous hand he gently took the clock out of my eye socket and started to wind it up again. "Natalie, Jeffery will need to know how to do this since you will be away for a while" Slender explained to me softly, while one of his tendrils lifted my chin and put my clock back in its place "Will he be willing to help me?" I asked quietly. A blush creeping across my cheekbones as I thought about Jeffery standing this close to me "He will. That boy cares for you in a way that is unparalleled to the others. All you have to do is ask" I nod and wait for him to be done before I leave. Outside his office, Jeffery stood against the wall, his leg propped up as he twirled his kitchen knife in his hands. "Jeffery? What are you doing?" "All you have to do is ask? the f**k is that about?" he countered and took a step towards me. "S-slender was just talking about my clock" f**k why am I stammering. Jeffery eyed me, his split mouth and ever smiling grin freaked me out and yet was such a turn on. Wait..what? The f**k did I just think. Jeffery? Hot? f**k no. "Cloooccckk don't lie to me" he was taunting me. "I'm not lying. ask him yourself if you're so worried. now if you'll excuse me." I was about to push past him when he grabbed my arms and pinned me to the wall, his face way to close to mine. "Now Natalie" I shivered at his voice ad the way my name rolled off his tongue "It's impolite to walk away from someone wh- did you just shiver?" He questioned me when he noticed the goosebumps on my arms at the mention of my name. "No, now get off me, before you don't have hands in general" I threatened and actually pushed past him. Sprinting down the stairs I crashed into LJ. That f*****g clown. "Woah where's the fire, Clock?" LJ joked with me "Not now, I need to eat before I leave"
