Trapped in the Abyss

Slenderman's POV
The faint knocking on the door of my office made me jump out of my seat. She can't see this place! I teleported outside. Of course she didn't notice me standing right behind her. Before she could knock again I spoke.

"What do you want?"

Her heart rate flew and she spun around and cried in surprise. I really wish she wouldn't do that. It was hard enough controlling myself when she was calm, but when she was frightened it was simply unbearable. I tensed as she breathed heavily, trying to stabilize her heart beat.

"How did you know I would be here?", I asked.

She looked at me in a puzzled way.

"You're kidding, right? The one door that looks like it's been through hell and you thought I wouldn't assume it was your room?"

This human was proving to be more intelligent than I thought. However, she still hadn't explained why she was here.

"Well. What is it?", I asked impatiently.

She looked embarrased.

"Um...well...it's just that..." but she was interrupted by a rather loud rumbling noise.
It took me a moment to realize this rumbling noise was coming from her stomach. Then it became clear to me. She was here because she was hungry. I had completely forgotten that humans had to feed regularly. She did look and sound rather hungry. Actually, she looks dead on her feet. There were dark circles underneath her eyes. Her lips were dry and chapped. She was an unhealthy shade of white and her injuries and many bandages only made her seem that much more unhealthy. I couldn't help but feel like I might have overdone it a bit. I understand that she's my prisoner, but she wasn't just any prisoner. I would never get anywhere if I kept treating her like one. I cleared my throat awkwardly.

"Um...Come with me.", I said.

I walked away swiftly. I walked into the kitchen all the way to the back door. I exited through it into the backyard and into the garden. I turned around expecting to see a very impressed human, but instead discovered I was alone. Ah... right. Injured. I walked back to find her walking cautiously with one hand on the wall for support and another hand clutching her ribs. I sighed and walked over to her swiftly.

"What are you-", she started but before she could finish I lifted her up into my arms.

She cried out in surprise but otherwise had no protests. I carried her outside and set her down on her feet.

"Um...thanks.", she said awkwardly.

"Mm-hm.", I replied, my tone was no more confident than hers.

She gasped as she looked around and noticed the garden she was in for the first time. Her jaw dropped as she took in the scenery.
I couldn't help but ask, "Well, what do you think?"

Sarah's POV
I was speechless. I had no words to describe how I felt about what I was seeing. It was so beautiful. The flowers that bloomed all around were stunningly bright and all kinds of colors. The grass was thick and a healthy shade of green. There were strong trees surrounding the beautiful garden. They were the tallest trees I had ever seen. The garden was incredibly beautiful but what was even more stunning were the fruits and vegetables growing in it. I saw all kinds of different fruits and vegetables. They were all big and it all looked delicious. My stomach growled as an apple tree, with the juiciest-looking apples I had ever seen, caught my attention.

"Help yourself.", a voice behind me said.

I jumped at the sudden interruption of silence. I had forgotten he was here. Now I understood why he had brought me here, but I was still confused on why. He has been acting very strange lately. Apologizing and being not as much as a douche as before. It was really suspicious. My stomach growled, interrupting my internal debate. I was too hungry to question his sudden change in behavior. I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the tree. I don't know if I'm tall for a girl my age or not, but I was definitely to short to reach those apples. That didn't stop me from trying, though. I leaped as hard as I could. Big mistake. I didn't even get close to touching one and I the pain shot through my body like lightning. In that moment I knew I was an idiot. Who the fuck is stupid enough to jump around like an idiot trying to reach some damn apples in a tree, that's way to mother fucking tall in the first place, while having fractured ribs? Me, apparently. I cried out in pain. I felt to my knees, clutching my chest. The pain was so immense that I couldn't breathe. Tears leaked out as I tried to stand up again. Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and lifted to my feet. I gripped the hand for support.
