Soon came along 2:10. I have to be at this guy's office in five minutes, but I have no definite idea where the office is. I guess I should just walk up to a random door on the third floor and hope that's it.
This should go great.
I put on my actual clothes and grab the mask and goggles just in case I needed them for some reason.
I opened the door and stuck my head out into the hallway. Holy shit this place is huge. I closed the door behind me as I exited the room and I turned to face a set of stairs leading up to the third floor. I decided for some reason to do the awkward slow run, where your arms are a bit stiff, as I headed towards the stairs.
But I decided to stop in case someone or something saw me and would think I was a weirdly tall 7 year old or something like that. Each step I took up the stairs made a creaking sound, I guess this place is pretty old. When I got to the top of the stairs, I noticed that one door stood out more than the rest. Walking up to this door made my heart race, thinking of what or who can be behind it.
I got to the door, the edges had a bolder outline than the other doors and a sign on the door that reads, "Slenderman" If that isn't a descriptive name then I don't know what is.
I lifted my fist to the door, ready to knock, but I hesitated. I think any sane person would hesitate to knock on a door the says, "Slenderman" in a giant ass house in the middle of the woods, I mean let's be honest, at this point I don't even know if I'm sane anymore.
I finally came up with the courage to knock, after I did, I waited for something to let me in, if it was words or someone opening the door.
A couple of seconds have gone by, but soon I heard a deep, slightly scary voice say, "Come in." I hesitated again to open the door, jeez I need to get some more confidence god damn.
I opened the door with my head slightly down, I soon looked up to see who I assumed brought me here. When I did, I was able to recognized the thing sitting at the desk in front of me, it's tall, bald, pale, and faceless. The same thing from the woods.
I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to do so I decided to just stand still and stare.
Like an idiot.
"Tobias." The faceless thing in front of me spook, somehow. I decided to just stand there, confused and honestly a bit scared. "It's understandable that you're confused or scared Tobias."
"Uh.. why am I here? What are you? Where am I?" I asked
"I am Slenderman, I brought you to my mansion so you may work for me."
"Work for you?"
"Yes, work for me."
"...What do you need me to do?..And why me?"
"I make those who I view as valuable to kill for me. That is why you are here, you will be another person to serve my orders, and you've already shown that you are capable of what I need you to do."
Who the fuck is this guy, he wants me to kill people for him?!
I mean.. I don't think I won't be able to that but I don't think I really want to.
"A-and what if I don't?" I asked.
"You will do as I say, if you don't, I'll drive you to the point of madness and your breaking point, until you either join or you die, in whatever way."
"....Well, what's in it for me?"
"I will provide you with a place to live and I will provide you with food and water, since you obviously don't have that anymore and you have no place to hide away from the police in."
Ok sooo, I can either; not work for him and go insane and join forcefully or possibly die when I don't join.
Or, I can join then get a place to live and hide out in, have access to food and water, and all I have to do is kill a few people.
...
eh, I guess I got time now.
"Fine, I'll join your...thing." I caved in and said.
"Good, not as if you had much of a choice. You will stay in the room you woke up in, I will change your room if needed, over the next few weeks you are expected to train and get to know the people here well enough for me to send you out on missions with them until you can go on your own. You may leave now."
I stayed still trying to remember and process everything he had just said then I soon nodded my head then left, closing the door behind me and heading towards my new room.
I set the goggles and mask down on my desk, walked over to my bed, then sat down to process everything.
"Fuck..I think I just joined a cult...cool.... I guess"
