The Slenderman

Tears

I opened the door and screamed. My aunt was hung with her guts hanging from her body and my uncle was chopped into small pieces and spread across the floor. Taven crouched down beside me and picked me up bridal style moving me away from the door and closing it. I was crying my eyes out. He set me down next to Destiny who was sitting on the steps connected to my porch and he called 911.

"Hi, my name is Taven. Me and a couple people just got to my friend's house and found her guardians massacred in her door way... Yes..." He spoke calmly to the dispatcher, "Yes, the same address. I understand. Thank you..." He hung up and walked over to me. He sat down at my side and put his face in his hands. "I'm sorry Carter... I haven't been myself lately... You see, me and Destiny were adopted because this happened to out parents. The so called Slenderman has been haunting our family for generations and there's a possibility that you were separated from us at birth..." My eyes widened as I looked at him. "We had a sister that was born late. She was in our mother's stomach when she died. We were never told if the baby survived or not..."

I stood up and ran to the nearest tree. I climbed to the top of it crying my eyes out. Everything started coming out clear. I could remember everything. Being taken from house to house because nobody wanted a haunted child. I was in the car during the accident that killed my adoptive parents. There was a tall dark figure that stood in the middle of the street. Since I was just an infant, everything was fuzzy to me. I stood up on the branch and screamed out my anger as the police got there. "I... I feel dizzy..." I whispered to myself. I swayed and fell out of the tree unconscious. I landed on my back and that's all I remembered... I woke up on my bed in my room with a long black dress, black gloves, and black flats waiting on my bedside table. I sat up and pulled the covers off. I was instantly in pain. I held my head. "Damn this hurts..." I stood up holding my head and stumbled to the bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror. I had cuts all over my face and leaves in my hair. I started pulling the leaves out then I took a quick shower. Once done, I went to my room. I changed into the clothes that were laid out for me.

I looked around my room for my phone but gave up because my head still hurt. "Where's the ibuprofen when I need it..." I walked downstairs to the kitchen and took some medicine for my head ache. As I walked to the livingroom, I saw Taven, Dean, and Destiny sitting on the couch talking to the police. Dean and Taven were wearing suits while Destiny was wearing a knee high black dress and some black elbow length gloves. "What's going on?"

"Well, you should sit down Carter..." Destiny said scooting over on the couch so I could sit next to her and Dean.

"We have news about your past," the police officer said looking at me with remorse. My eyes widened and looked down at my lap with warm tears slowly streaming from my eyes.
