"Ring ring ri-" you yawn and turn off your alarm, you look around the room rubbing your eyes, Yesterday Slenderman told you that you were now gonna share a room with Toby, you barely knew him but oh well, as you look to the bed across the room you notice that toby was still asleep, which isn't normal for him since he's normally already awake by now. 'Oh well' you think to yourself as you get up, grabbing the hoodie hanging from the rack on the door, then grabbing a bra from your drawer, you walk to your bed putting both things down before taking off your shirt, you are nervous toby would see you but its dark in the room, he probably can't see you from where he is, you put on the bra and then your shirt as you sigh, you were relieved but sad at the same time, you would miss your family but at the same time you wouldn't, you no longer had to deal with your parents calling you a pig or a brat, and you no longer had to deal with your spoiled little brother, 'thank god I never have to see them again', you grab the hoodie and as you were about to put it on you hear someone from behind you, "what are you doing with my hoodie?" You turn around to see a glowing pair of goggles right before your eyes, you end up falling onto your bed, and you give who you are pretty sure is Toby his hoodie back, you can't apologize so you feel mad about the fact your mute "apologies a-accepted", what? how did he- what! "I ca t-tell you want to forgive me b-b-by your fa-face" he puts on his hoodie, "If you wanted it s-so bad y-you co-could've told me" HWHAT, WHERE DID HE GET THAT FROM "I'm joking, n-no need to get offended" you calmed down, "here" he hands you your hoodie, you nod as thanks and put it on as you look down "whats w-wrong kiddo" did he just called you kiddo!?, "what's wrong, do-don't like the n-nick-name?" He lays down next to you, and you shake your head pouting, "d-dont be so stubborn" You look at him "What" You give him a blank face as in what to do now "Let m-me turn on the light" he gets up and turn on the light, you watch him as he lays back on the bed "y/n, right?" He asks as you nod, "Pretty n-name" You blush at his compliment, normally people at your school think you are weird so you spend your time at the library reading random books before you know it, you snap back into reality and Toby is right in front of you, "such a pretty girl" HUH?!?, now your whole face is red and you were holding onto your hoodie with eyes wide open leaning back a bit, he chuckles before getting up and leaving, WHERE IS HE GOING?!?, you get up and grab him by the hand looking at him, he turns to look at you "Hm?" You look at him a bit worried "Let me guess, you want ss-stay near me" You nod, this whole place is new to you, and the last thing you want is to get killed and nobody knowing but your killer, "f-fine, but im- going on a mission, stay n-near me at a-all times" you nod as you let go of him, he starts heading to the front door and you follow him.

-in the woods-

You walk behind him as he hums a song while he swings his hatchet at any branches in the way, how is it so cold here, and why is the atmosphere so spine-chilling, "you good?" You hum to his question "mk", the rest of the walk was silent until we reached a campsite, "look" I looked and saw a group of teenagers, they looked like they were there to destroy the place, "come" I look at toby as he climbed the tree next to him, I never climb a tree in my life so I was a bit worried "d-Dont worry, I got y-you" I started climbing the tree as toby grabbed my arm and pulled me onto the branch he was sitting on, "there are too many branches on t-the ground" you nod understanding what he meant "Slender h-hates when te-ens mess up his forest" makes sense, "you s-stay here, ok?" You nod as he gets off of the campsite and follows the guy who went out on a stroll, you watch quietly as the other teens laugh and make fun of each other, you start to feel envy, you wish to have friends to laugh with, and you continue watching them. "Yooo!, dude my dad had this stupid lake house, and he was pissed when a group of assholes appeared and wrecked that place, that place, thanks god its gone, it was always full of roaches" the teens all laughed together as you slightly smiled at they're story's, "ima go find *** he's been gone for too long" the girl gets up and leave in his direction, 'another victim' you thought to yourself, after a while there was only 2 campers left, "where are the others?, its been hours" "oh hush, they're probably doing some weird shit or something" you quietly yawn leaning against the tree falling asleep before hearing screams of agony, you knew what was happening so you keep your eyes shut and cover your hear to not hear anything, sooner or later the screaming stopped so you quietly open your eyes to see that the 2 remaining campers were brutally murdered although you didnt see Toby, instead your see Jeff, he was looking directly towards you before he started sprinting to you, like the idiot you are you jump off the tree and start running away, trying to find Toby, "COME HERE PRETTY GIRL, DONT YOU WANT TO SLEEP LIKE YOU WERE TRYING TO?!?" He screamed as you continue running through the forest, tears start rolling down your eyes, and you felt like accepting your fate, but you knew you had to be strong, so you kept running, he was catching up tho, though you were scared, terrified, your heart was pounding, "THE MORE YOU RUN THE MORE I WANT TO KILL GIRLY" he states as you continue to run, you look around frantically hoping to see anyone, like Toby, or Jack before you knew it, Jeff had wrapped his arms around you, you start crying and you start to kick and fight back, "HAHAHHAHAHHAH" he burst out laughing "LOOK AT YOUR STUPID FACE, DAMN YOU FELL FOR IT AHHAHAHAHHA" what? "I know who you are dumbass" he lets go of you "I won't kill you" You look at him in terror before passing out.
