Victim (Slenderman Story)

5. Slenderman

The night was still young and Amanda wanted to play her little game of mommy, daddy and baby.

Uncle Robert was the father, of course, Amanda the mother and a doll the baby. She gave her uncle the baby, who wasn't sure of how to hold it. With his thumb and index finger, he held it up. Amanda reached for the bottle, "Here, you feed her today!" The man did what she demanded, while sitting in a children size chair. Not sure of how to feed it, he place the opening on to the right ear. Before him were also a table and three other chairs in the same size, which Amanda was decorating, with everything that is needed for a tea party. For the tea, she had to go downstairs.

Now he was all alone...with the doll.

Lost in thoughts, it began to scream like a real baby. The man freaked out, throwing the thing across the room. Once it made contact with the wall, it fell behind the desk and died down. He began to hate this game. Not even a second later, the bottle followed. Amanda came up, seeing him in this tiny chair, "Where is the baby honey?" He pointed at the area were it flew towards. She smiled happy, "Ah I see. You are such a carrying husband, bringing our baby to bed."
Luckily the baby bed was nearby.

With a bit of tea in the plastic cups, she raised hers, "For a wonderful evening." Hitting his cup slightly, they both drank.

Ding Dong!

The man froze at the sound, while Amanda stood up slowly, "Who could that be?" No one had thought of the time. Her mother's shift was over and all she wanted is to sleep. While Amanda ran down to open the door, the man tried his best to hide. But where should someone as tall as he is hide, especially in a little girl's bedroom? There was only one option for him.

Amanda however was happy to see her, "Mommy!"

"Hey darling, shouldn't you be in bed?"

"No, Uncle Robert and I are playing in my room" While her mother took off her coat, Amanda kept on talking about her night. A smile came to her lips, seeing her daughter happy again...like the old times. That is until they heard a bang, her mother's face looked up the stairs, "What was that?"

"It must be Uncle Robert. I go and check!"

It was indeed him; he tried to walk down the stairs, hitting his head in the process. The little girl before him giggled, "Don't run on the stairs silly!" She informed him to come to the kitchen. The moment Amanda left; he took the opportunity to take the back door.

For three minute, her mother was waiting for their uncle to appear, "Where is he?"

Amanda wasn't sure at first, but then she remembered something, "Maybe he is out to get Larry."

"Why would he get Larry? Where is he anyway?"

"He is on this Halloween party and..." before she couldn't finish her sentence, her mother stood up quickly.

"He is what?!" Amanda had never seen her mother this angry before. The next, she grabbed her car keys and jacket, "Amanda, get in the car!"

"But what about Uncle Robert?"

Her mother's eyes darkened, "If anything happens to Larry, I will kill him!"

He was in the woods, watching the two leave the house. Slowly, he made his way to the area, where Amanda buried her secret supplies of chocolate. With the box, he got into the forest and to the oldest and tallest trees. There he was keeping the drawing he found, the lunch box and the chocolate box now.

Meanwhile, the village had a resemblance to a ghost town. Not one soul was out...except one. Larry felt a little scared though, walking home alone. Every little sound made the boy jump. He began to regret his decision, as something touched his shoulder. He screamed out loud before turning around. But he was far from feeling relieved, "Have you lost your mind?!"

"Sorry Larry " it was Lola. She was worried and followed him soon after, "I didn't mean to scare you. Can I walk you home?"

For this he would actually love to tell her to stick it, but then again...being alone was a while lot worse. He allowed her, "Okay, but only because it is you." For a few minutes, they just walked side by side. But something bugged Larry. He began to question Josh's story, "This...Spiderman... what is it actually?"

Lola hesitated a little, "Well...according to what I heard...it eats children and makes adults insane."

"You just repeated that guys words" moaned Larry annoyed.

She followed his example and moaned back, "I haven't finished!" Breathing in deep, she continued, "It looks like a human, but isn't one. It has more than two arms, that is why they call it Spiderman."

"It is a stupid name for a monster."

"Under children it is called like that, so shut up" she said, as her voice was losing its strength, "But the adults call it....the slender man."

"Now thats more like it!"

Unlike Larry, Lola was not in the mood to make jokes, "You think this is funny?!"

He stared at her in disbelieve, "Actually...yes. This is just a fairy tale."

"It is not" She whispered.

Larry looked back to her. Lola seems to be frightened of something. Her pink cheeks were now white as a sheet, followed by tears. Slowly, he asked her, "How can you be so sure?"

She faced him, her eyes showed fear; while her voice was hardly below a whisper "It...it took...my brother."
