Forest Trail - 6:49 pm 

"Ahh!" Nex yelled then falls to his knees, holding him arm in pain. 

"NEX!" I yell. 

"Stand down." Says a female voice. Kind of sounds familiar. 

"Who are you?! What are you doing to my brother?!" 

"I just needed to get your attention." Nex lets go of his arm and stops yelling with a sigh of relief. 

"Gui." He whispers. 

"Gui?!" I question then she steps out. Long green wavy hair, glowing red eye, and is wearing only a black dress.

"Yes." 

"How did you-" 

"I have my ways. I am connected to him too. But my connection is much more strong and powerful." 

"What happened to you?" I ask as I help Nex up. 

"I should be asking you that question." She points at my eye-patch. 

"Let's set up camp here and we'll talk them. We have a lot to discuss." Nex groans.

Camp - 7:06 pm 

I plop down on a log. I just finished gathering up logs for Nex and he gets up and starts making a fire. 

"You attacked him." I said. 

"What?" Gui asked. 

"Slenderman. You attacked him. What happened after that?" 

"He almost killed me. I held him off so Nex could get you away. Thankfully he only got your eye. And he's not after your brother." 

"I thought Jeff was the only one after me." Nex sits next to me. 

"No. He's upset of what you did. That's why he's after your brother. To make you suffer before he kills you." 

"So the reason he's after me-" 

"How do you know this?!" Nex cuts me off. 

"I have my ways. I would assume you would know that by now." 

"NOW?! HAVE YOU-" 

"Look, I only know so much about the half dead." 

"HALF-" 

"You're right, you're right. Sorry, there is so much to talk about." 

"I will be here. You and me. The Slendy and zombie human. For now and forever." 

"You do know I'm still here!" They hug. My eyes widen. Why... "Nex, did you-" He holds up his finger to my mouth. Shushing me. 

"Let's get ready for bed." Nex let's go. "Sam, you have a lot to know and learn. I will tell you when we get home." 

"You better." I whisper then crawl into my sleeping bag on a log. We decided that we should stay where we could see each other just in case someone goes missing. Once I get into my bag, I realize how tired I am. My eyelids get very heave. I shut them and pass out.
