In Arms Reach ~ Slender x Reader

Part 22|Clockwork

Slender was overjoyed that I wanted to stay. He understood my reasons but still took it in a way that I wanted to learn something more meaningful.

He guided me to a room with a large wooden door. I look at it as place my hand on the brass knob. I look at slender and he nods before walking away back down the hall.

"Slender" I mumble, but he manages to still hear me crystal clear
"Yes?" He tilts his head
"Can you tell me more about my mother? Like what happened to her?"

Silence roamed the air for a moment and a sigh escaped him. He turned back and looked at me.

"All will be revealed in time my dear"
"But why won't you tell me?" I almost shout, furious to why he isn't telling me about my own mother
"We won't discuss this now. We will discuss this tomorrow. For now, go get some rest" he says

I finally give up and walk into the room. I look up and it looked like the room I stayed in previously. It had a four poster oak bed with red sheets. The walls were dark and the floor was a nice red carpet. Basically the whole furniture in the room was red and all the wooden features were oak. This included the bed, vanity and wardrobe. It was a simple design but looked very sophisticated.

I walk over to the bed and flop frontwards onto it, burying my head into the mattress.

"Rough day?" I hear a voice

I look up to find a girl. Her one human eye reals a beautiful green whereas the other eyes was... A clock? I just stared at her a moment.

"I'm clockwork" she smiles
"(Y/n)" I reply

She nods approvingly and sits on the edge of the bed beside me.

"So, I know your not staying here for any of our benefits.... So why are you here?"
'Should I tell her?' I wonder
"It's alright. If you can tell a giant stickman why and not me then that's cool" she jokes, making me laugh
"No no it's ok.... I just want to find out the truth, about my past. My mother was close with slender and was being chased by something. I don't know why it was after my mother, but she gave me to slender. My memory past that point I can't remember... The last memory I remember was..."

Then it hit me. The last memory I experienced was from hospital. I woke up with my father hugging me. Maybe my father really didn't know what happened to her.

I quickly stood to my feet.

"Where you going?" Clockwork asks
"To find slender"
"He won't communicate"
"Why?" I look back at clockwork
"He said stay here and you should do that. He told you he won't tell you till tomorrow and that's just what he'll do"

I grown and flop back onto the bed. This was going to be a long night...
