Deadly Love ( a JTK love story)

Chapter Six : Another Addition

I woke up to a static-y noise in my ear. Jeff must have pulled into some woods to keep us hidden. We were surrounded by nothing but trees and darkness. My mind flashed back to the night I saw the monster in the woods. That thing had branch like things coming out of his back. The static snapped me back into reality. Jeff sat up and stretched. "What was that noise?" he said sleepily. "I don't know." I looked around, then my eyes locked on something in the distance. It looked like a man. I shook Jeff's shoulder in fear. "Jeff...who's that?" He looked to where I was pointing, then started frantically tearing through the car. "Shit! Look for a permanent marker." I pulled one out of my back pocket. "Here." I put it in his hand and looked back at the man. He seemed closer. Jeff grabbed my hand and drew a circle with an 'X' in the middle. I stared at the symbol. "What is this?" He sighed. "It's called a proxy. Very few people know about this. All of them went missing some time ago. Anyway, it protects you from that guy." I looked at the symbol, then at the thing, who was now so close, I could see what he was wearing. He seemed to have on a black suit with a red tie. I looked at Jeff who motioned for me to lay dow back and put my hand over Mr eyes, 'proxy side up'. I heard the roof of the car being ripped off, and the static grew much louder. I moved my hand a little and watched as man grew what I thought were tendrils from his back. One tendril hit Jeff's hand and cut along the proxy. When it finished the tendril wrapped around Jeff's waist. A different tendril shot into my hand and cut along the proxy until it finished and wrapped around my waist. The remaining tendrils lifted the three of us up, and we made our way across the woods. About 5 minutes later, we came across a big dark mansion in a clearing. He returned to his feet and the tendrils retracted. He led us in and closed the door. "You may open your eyes now, children." Me and Jeff lowered our hands and saw an extremely large man, probably somewhere between 8 and 9 feet tall. Jeff spoke, his voice barely audible. "Slenderman..." The man bowed. "At your service."
