Our Daughter (Slenderman x Female Reader)

Let Down Your Guard

~~Slender's Pov~~

"You've been really hungry lately," He remarks when he finds you in the kitchen yet again devouring food like you've been starved. "You've been like this for two weeks now."

"I don't know why. No matter what I eat I'm constantly starving. It's like nothing I eat is filling, and mostly what I want is meat," You grumble softly.

He tilts his head to the side as he wonders what might be happening. Maybe you should get checked out by Doctor Smiley.

"You guys have to try this!" Splendor declares as he comes into the kitchen, half a corpse in his arms. "I don't know why but this human tastes better than usual! I thought you guys would like to share. If not, I'll put it in the freezer."

Slender notices your gaze is on the half eaten corpse and he swears he can see you start drooling over the smell. Shit! He's quick to step in front of you when you suddenly leap forward, grunting in pain when your nails tear into the fabric of his suit and skin of his shoulder. He can feel you shaking as you cling to him and you keep trying to get past him, pausing when Splendor rests a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Slender tells his brother.

"I brought it to share after all," He chuckles.

Slender lets Splendor in front of him so he can hand you the corpse. He and Splendor step back when you dive into the meat like a ravenous animal. If Slender didn't know any better it's almost like you have rabies. They're both caught off guard when you jerk a rib out of the corpse and bite down on it. A crunch echoes through the kitchen as your teeth easily bite through the bone as if it's bread. He glances at Splendor who just shrugs his shoulders. They all have a preference on which organs or body part they like to eat. He never expected someone would be after the bones of the corpse. Your eyes light up when you swallow the first bite of bone, abandoning the flesh of the corpse to devour its bones. Slender is pretty sure you've eaten every single bone when you finally stop eating, your hands and face covered in blood as you look up at the two of them.

"I didn't even think about the fact you're one of us now," Slender chuckles softly as he kneels down with a rag to gently wipe your face. "We're all cursed to need to eat humans for survival. I guess you're stuck with the same thing since you go the powers our mom had."

"I just ate a person," You breathe as you stare at him with wide eyes.

"Not hungry anymore I bet?" He asks you, watching your cheeks flush red as your eyes widen in realization. Nope, not hungry anymore he bets.

"I'm not hungry anymore," You tell him.

"I can't believe you ate the bones! Slender, don't let her bite you. She'll take an arm off!" Splendor teases as Slender helps you to your feet. "At least you left enough to share with everyone else."

Slender chuckles and grabs a chunk of meat from the corpse and pops it into his mouth, relieved when you let out a hard sigh but then look to him with a smile. Yet another issue brought on by him. He feels guilty over the fact it's his fault all of this is happening in the first place. You seem to be doing okay with everything but he's sure you miss your old life sometimes. He doesn't blame you if you do. He just wants to give you a happy life with him and he's going to support you every step of the way.

"Thank you," You tell Splendor.

"Anytime! I'm gonna go find Trender and Offender," He declares.

"They went out," You tell Splendor. "Both said they wouldn't be back until late."

"Awww that's too bad. I'll just throw it in the freezer," He declares, grabbing the corpse and leaving you and Slender alone.

"You okay?" He asks, helping you to the sink so you can wash your hands and arms off. "It's unsettling, the first time you do it. The world says it's wrong but we're just trying to survive in a world that doesn't want us in it. I'll take you hunting with me so you can start getting accustomed with the whole killing thing."
