Of Black and Silver

How was I supposed to know?

        The night was done, giving away to the dawn gentally lighting the forest tree tops. He had to move fast, no one could see him but  the last took to long to finish. 12 foot tall slender limbs flashed through the undergrowth yet barely disturbing a single pine needle on one of the many saplings.

        Dead in the middle of the forest was an abanonded well. The boarding torn up enough to let the slim and other small figures in. Clambering down with the grace of a snake, the creature missed the glare of the rising sun and beat the clock. A grinn spread across its featureless face. 

        The downward tunnel opened up to to a blood red light that dreanched over an aging victorian mansion. Surounding the building was the most disappointing sight for the centuries old being. 

         "They forgot to clean up AGAIN!" he mumbled to himself static and mouthless. Marching across the court through the small mounds of bodies, each tortured and disfigured in different ways, the being continued to mumble. "Jack needs to understand that it takes YEARS for his snack scrapes to finaly disintergrate. Also Smile is JEFF'S dog, the dog can't remember to bury his leftovers without proper training or care and no one else should be reasonsable for that training except the owner. AND just because Sally's toys are guresome doesn't mean that they'll disappear because you threw them on the lawn.  I TAKE PEOPLE DOWN HERE SOMETIMES! They can't see this and I am not cleaning up their mess!" the self spoken rant came to an end in front of the antique doors. The floor boards under the polished shoes creaked over the sound of young voices hissing in argument. 

        Slenderman sighed and pinched the place where his nose would be with a long skeletal fingers to hold off a rising head ache while strutting through the bare and bloody halls to the dinning room and the souce of the yelling.

        "What do you think he'll say when he comes home? This is your fault Jeff! Why do I ever listen to you?" Eyeless Jack yelled though his blue mask and pointing a black gloved hand at the boy sitting down in front of him. Ticci-Toby, Jeff, and Jack were on the end of the table opposite of the door around the right hand chair from the head. Jeff was seated tilting the chair towards a standing Jack and Toby sitting next to him facing the tabe watching his hands twitch. 

        "Dammit Jack, why are you blaming me?" Jeff returned, venom lacing his voice.

        "Because," Jack shouted back matter-of factly, "I remember quite well it wasnt my chioce and it wasn't Toby's!" 

        Ticci-Toby twisted around in his seat to face them, "Guys it doesnt matter now," Slender took a deep breath, "we have to do something before he-" 

         Slenderman took the chance and calmly said in a deep and carrying voice "BOYS." all of them jumped being caught in a suprise that could only come from Slendy. Poor Toby jumped so hard that he fell right out of his seat sending his leg straight through the floor creating a hole. Slenderman ignored that and would make him fix it later, then continued, "I do hope your talking about the MESS still outside and are planning on FIXING it." They stared at him, stock still, even Toby who normaly acted like an ADHD kid on caffine. Wait, the floor is vibrating. Nevermind he's shaking his leg in the hole. 

        The slender exhaled feeling his headache return. "Fine then. Where are the others?" these kids will be the death of him. 

        Toby jumped at the chance to change the topic, "Sally is asleep in her room, Masky and Hoodie are still out, Jane and Clockwork went 'shopping', and the prisoner is in the spare room." Jeff's liddless eyes widened at the word 'prisoner' and Jack kicked him. Slendy's brow indents shot up at the words and reactions. 

        "Prisoner?" anger seeped from his very being,"even though you have all these bodies out side you brought home another one?!" His arms flew up in surrender grazing the ceiling, landing on and covering his shaking blank head. "Do I teach nothing?"

        He ploped down in the nearest seat and faced the boys, nimble arms folded on the table in front of him and lean back slouched. The old demon said one word, "Describe." 

        Jack shot up finally excepting the situation, "She's a 14 year old girl with natural ombre hair (brown at the roots fading into blonde) pale skin, big silver eyes and AB negitive blood." 

         "Vampire" Jeff mocked erning a punch in the arm. 

        Slender once again spoke a single word "Explain."

      Jeff answered this cooly, "We were doing a perimeter check after the girls left and found her hiking way to close."

        Once more, a word. This time, a question, "Plan?" 

       He was anwered by all three "NONE." The Slender's head drooped then landed on the table with a loud bang. 

        "But," Jeff said cheerfully "she is chained down quite secure." 

        Toby's brows furrowed from the floor and he looked up at Jeff, "I tied her down in a rope." But Jeff shook his head looking at him and Slendy tensed 

        He spoke softly with his head still down, "What color were her eyes again?" 

        Jack took a breath to reply but was interuped by the sound of chains moving and a feminen voice ringing gleefully, "AND THE HUNTERS BECOME THE HUNTED!"

                                                                                "RUN!"
