My Monster (Slenderman x OC) OLD

chapter seven // that figure

I drowsily drifted to sleep and ignored the rest of the sounds, fading into a deep sleep..

I woke up, or so I thought. The hospital was abandoned.. Did everyone just leave me here, completely alone in the building? I quickly took off the breathing mask, then leaped out of the blanket covering half of my body.

I had shoes on, so I didn't have to be afraid over stepping things with my small toe. From my experience, hitting something with your tiny toe hurts more than hitting something with your arm.

Anyway, "Enough of that," I muttered to myself. Surely no one could hear me? If.. there were even people in the building.

I felt my hope slipping away from me, helplessly I wondered if I would stay here for the rest of my life. Guess it was time to make friends with the lightbulbs.

A sudden thought ran through my mind- Did my parents leave me on purpose? They wouldn't leave me here all alone, would they?

I also wondered where all the staff and people went, surely they couldn't vanish to thin air..

"But what if they evacuated from something? Like gas poisoning?" I thought to myself, But why would they leave a patient here if so? And why i'm not poisoned?

I felt useless at the moment, hot tears streaming down my cheek- One of the things that emotionally affects me is being forgotten or left behind.

I got up again, instead of sitting on a hospital bench. "There's no use for crying, it won't help get to the exit." I told myself as I wiped the few tears off my face.

"No more tears, you can be afraid but no crying. Not unless it's someone I care for dying," I muffled to myself. There was no time to sulk around.

I quickly decided to explore the hospital. That way, I could find the exit door.

Corner after corner, I cautiously spied around, looking for the exit. I've never been in this hospital before, even if it was the one closest to our house. It was only a few miles away.

Everything seemed unfamiliar, since I wasn't entirely sure where the exits were or what-not. As I continued my way, I found a white hallway. This part of the hospital was colder than any of the other sections for some reason. It also seemed that this part was never used anymore.

The light hanging above seemed old and outdated, it flickered time to time and its yellowish glow gave the room an unwelcoming scene.

While I took a look around, hoping to find someone, I saw the counter. Papers were scattered everywhere, check ins and patient's identity were all messed up, it seemed somebody was in a rush here.

The lights flickered on and off, so I couldn't really see well until it was on again. Suddenly, the light made a sparking sound, then it died. I looked at it with worry, since that was a bit odd.

I felt a cold wind blast right through me, and then I saw someone in the distance, I breathed a sigh of relief and stress at the same time.

Suddenly, they turned to the other corner. I couldn't lose them, since I needed to find the direction of the exit.

Hastily, I bursted into a silent run, trying to go after them. I turned a corner and in panic I looked around multiple directions, spotting them turning to another hallway.

The further I went, the colder it got. I didn't care at this rate, I just needed to ask them where the exit was.

But I thought about things for too long, so I lost them.

There was nothing I could do for this situation, but it was cold. I put my arms around myself to shield me from the icy wind, even if there was no ice.

I closed my eyes in despair, and I felt something wrap their arms around me. I noticed that I did not wrap my arms around me, it was someone in front of me.

I instantly opened my eyes, then I looked up, it.. It was the same silhouette from all of the times that led me here. I literally was holding it next to me in my arms that moment- I made a sharp breathing sound in fear..

I quickly stumbled back, I had no idea what it wanted from me now.

Strangely, I did not pass out. This time I was ready to just die now. I guess sometimes I give up hope very easily.

I had no idea what got into me, but my mind told me to ask it something- anything.

Surely this.. Person is just a normal human, that somehow got in my house with no noises, always able to follow me everywhere- There's no such thing of ghosts or monsters, I believe.

There has to be a logical explanation to all of this misfortune.

It faced me, I couldn't see its face or anything, I could just tell from the shadow the silhouette was looking in my direction.

"Hello." It seemed to emit from his head, I could decipher from the voice that it was a male. His slender body seemed to hung around a suit and tie.

Knowing that it could talk left me stunned, and a bit of shock.

The simple "Hello" echoed through the hallways multiple times, and the voice seemed.. Off. I had no idea how to describe it, since it was nothing like all the voices I heard before. It seemed almost as if it had a.. Ghostly tone? That can't be right, I'd have to think of a right wording later.

If.. I made it out alive.

I had no clue what to respond back. I just stood there in surprise and shock, but didn't show it through my expression. I backed away, falling against the glass window. Since it was quite old and damaged, I almost fell through, but the figure was still there, and grabbed me before I fell.

Fear glued my eyes shut, I could tell it was trying to pull me back, but I kicked it away..

I blinked once as it turned into a blur, My hair strands flying loosely around my head. It turned black.

Once again.

I woke up, breathless and shrouded with a mix of emotions. I was in the hospital bed. Right where I started.
