*Slendy pov*

Entering the farm I look around slowly, Jess and Becka heading ahead of us.

Sally:What did you see?

Quickly snapping out of it I look down to Sally, the girl having made herself comfortable in my arms.

Slendy:Nothing yet...

Slowly following along behind Jess I start feeling weird, like some thing is watching us from the fields. But it's strange usually my powers would sense if anything here, yet for some reason I can't tell for sure.

Getting to what looks to be the front garden I see maybe four possible ways we could go, back, into the house, and down the two side paths cutting through the rest of a farm like a peace sign.

Slendy:Alright girls, me and Sally will take the house, I trust you two to take the perimiter.

Becka:Yes ma'am!

Slendy:Good, you two stay safe.

Only getting a grumble from Jess I take that as an agreement making me enter the house having to duck under the door frame, instantly getting hit with the smell if rot I cover Sally's nose only then having one of my tendrils to come up blocking where my nose would be.

Slendy:Jesus Christ.

Looking around the first floor I see that all the walls and floors are simply coated in dust, the planks of wood rotting away from under the peeling  wallpaper, trying a few of the lights as I walk through the house I see that they still work they're just dim and yellow tinted, walking into the kitchen I see the source of the rot...

The fridge has been knocked over and the food has spilled out all over the floor.

Sally:Ewww...

Slendy:Mhm.

Feeling a presence by the wind I whip around...

Crow:Caw!

Jumping a little I see that it's only a couple of crows roosting in what's left if the window.

Slendy:Just some crows.

Shaking my head I blush a little from. Being scared so easily.

Slendy:How about we go check upstairs now Sally?

Sally:Mhm! Okie.

Nodding I start to leave the room only looking back for a second as I hear a scuttle, only to see the crows had gone a single feather now resting on the window frame, quickly shaking it off I leave the room making my way up the creaky stairs.

Sally:Hm, it smells a but better up Here.

With that I let go of both of our noses, the smell for some reason hasn't risen up here yet, maybe its because of all the broken windows and holes scratched into the walls giving it good ventilation.

Soon getting to the top floor however I see a gruesome sight...

4 bodies of ranging from a young man in his late teens all the way up to an elderly man have been strewn about the top floor, their bodies mangled and mutilated as fear is perminantlu shown on their faces... All the walls having been broken through and used to mash then up, their blood all leading to a large hole at the back of the wall letting me get a good look at the barn.

Jess being clearly vusabke in one of the top windows rooting around so thing-

Sally:Slendh look!

Following Sally's pointing Im just in time to see a large shadow slink into the barn.
