The Slenderman

Faith

On my way to school, Taven came up from behind me and gave me a friendly and gentle smile that somewhat creeped me out. I returned a smile. We ended up laughing. Soon, Dean came up from behind us and yelled in my ear. "Ah, I see you've met Taven."

"Yeah. We just met this morning," I said turning around to walk backwards.

"So, where are your cigarettes?" He asked poking my nose.

I slapped his hand away, "I quit."

"Ah, I see. How are your relatives treating you?" He said as I turned around.

"Okay, they've been acting different ever since I was told the truth."

"Yeah, I would act different too though."

"Uh," Taven said, "What are you guys talking about?"

"It's, uh, nothing," I said innocently, "Well, we should hurry shouldn't we? Hehe, hehe." As we walked to school, we come up on a huge body bag in the middle of the street. I thought of opening and when I got close to it, Dean pulled me back.

"Hey! Stay away from that, it might be some type of prank or something!" he yelled in my ear.

"No! Let me!" I screamed pulling away. As I opened the bag, I saw Micheal's body lay motionless with at least 13 stab wounds. Then there was one large cut in the center of his body like he was dissected. I hesitated but, ended up opening his chest. I screamed and backed away. "Dean! Call the police, NOW!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I looked back to the bag to see Dean and Taven throwing up next to it. Then people started rushing out of their houses. After a mob of people had surrounded the bag, I looked behind them to see the figure again. What was it called? Wasn't called Slender-man? Damn, why can't I remember?! I thought getting up and running at it. When I was trying to get to it, some women grabbed my arm.

"What happened here?!" she asked making me turn. When I looked back to where the thing was. It was gone once again.

"I'm not sure ma'am. We found him like this." I said pulling my arm away gently. Then, she left. I turned to where the thing was one last time before I went back over to the bag and crouched by it. I looked into his chest again. His insides where put into a large plastic bag and shoved back into his body. I gagged a little but, kept it down. I heard sirens and turned to police, firemen, and medics standing by. None of them even tried to stop me. Again, the officer/detective Phoenix came up to me.

"I'm surprised that you didn't throw up," he said patting me on the back.

"Well, yeah. I guess it's because of the movies I watch," I answered standing up. I gagged again moving away from the body. I looked around to see Dean and Taven in an ambulance getting checked out. I walked over to them.

"Yo, we'll be done in a bit," Taven said turning to me.

"Just give us 3 more minutes," Dean yelled to me from inside an ambulance.

"Nah, it's okay. Take your time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be stuck here a while any way," I yelled back to them as I ran back over to Phoenix. Why can't I trust anyone anymore? People are starting to get on my nerves. Do I just have paranoia or do I just I am having a problem where I can't trust anyone anymore? No, I've got to put faith in my friends. I've got to tell some one about this!
