Everyday I have the same recurring dream. Jesse being killed. Slenderman killed another one of his targets. Who's next? When is he going to strike next? So many questions. I have been trying to message Gui since. Nothing. Probably for the best. She is trying to live a normal life, forget all about this. It's hard to tell if memories of this stuff is still haunting her. She's to good at hiding it. But she sadly knows she won't have this break for long. And she can't tell anyone about this unless I say so. 

"Nex! Dinner!" Little 9 year old Sam yells. 

"Coming." I say and get up. I walk out of my room and see Mom putting 2 year old Issac in his highchair. He is going to face a lot when he is older. I sit down and look at my plate. Chicken. 

"Is Dad coming home?" I ask. 

"No. He's working late." Mom responded. Dad's been working late a lot lately. We have been short on money this past month and Mom's says we might have to move in the next few years. 

"Mom! Issac throwing up his food again!" Sam yells then I look over at Issac and he's throwing up his food again. Just what we all need. 

"We should all go to the park. Get some fresh air." 

"Good idea Nexual." Mom says as we clean up are meals.

Park - 5:13 pm 

I am pushing Sam on the swings. Most people my age would be embarrassed by this because they are 'to old' but since we are coming to the worst by the time Issac is in high school, may as well enjoy being a kid while I can. I look over at Issac who is putting something in his mouth. Mom is asleep on the bench. She has been through a lot lately. She needs the rest. 

"Hold on Sam, I need to get a rock out of Issac's mouth again." 

"Again?" 

"Again." I clarify and walk over to him. I pull the thing out of him mouth. 

"You are going to be a trouble maker when you grown up." I say and smile. I look at what I took out of his mouth. I opened up a piece of paper. A map. Wait, not any map. Creepypasta map. 

"Shit." I whisper to myself. I quickly put the map in my pocket. 

"You ok Nex?!" Sam asked. 

"I'm fine! I'm.. fine..." I look at Issac and he smiles and laughs. He is going to be the one that saves us all. I am sure of it.

Forest Trail - 11:56 pm 

Present 

We didn't stop for any breaks. I didn't want to risk someone finding us. Who knows what's out here. There have been tribes known to be here. Last time I was here, I didn't find any. I am hoping for the same luck as last time even though I have a soon to be victim of Slenderman with me. 

"You look very tired." Sam mentions. 

"Not now." I groan. 

"We should take a break." 

"No. Not here." 

"Why?" 

"I don't want to-" 

"WHO'S THERE?!" Someone yells. We have been spotted. I look around for a hiding spot but to late. We are surrounded by people dressed like those old native tribes I have learned about in social studies but never payed attention too. Wish I did. I take out my knife and Sam does too. 

"Stand down." A guy with brown hair and brown eyes demands. 

"Never." I growl. 

"He he. Suit yourself." I takes out a little brown tube with feathers on the end and puts it to his mouth. 

"Don't even-" He blows through it. I quickly throw my knife and his leg but then I feel a sharp pain in my neck right when my fingers let go of the knife. 

"Nex!" Sam yells then I collapse and everything goes black.
