Emily

Chapt.2

I kept on running until it was really dark but I didn't want to go back home so I kept on running. Then all of a sudden I ran into this man and a boy. The man was wearing a suit, abnormally tall and had no face. The boy had a carved smile, messy black hair, a white hoodie and black jeans.

"Don't be frightened my dear I'm not going to hurt you!" The tall man said. "My name is Slenderman and this is Jeff." He motioned to the boy.

"M-my name is Emily." I said

"Let's take you home you must be really exhausted." Slenderman said. We continued walking through the forest. We came to the end of the trail and went through the last couple of trees.

"This will be your new home." Jeff said as he walked up beside me.

As we drew closer to the house I noticed how big it was. It was huge, at least five stories high. I got nervous as we walked up the porch stairs. I didn't know how many people lived in a house this big.

We walked into the main entrance of the house and toward the living room. There were a few people in there, a boy dressed as Link from Legend of Zelda playing video games, a boy in a black hoodie and a blue mask with something dripping from the eyes watching him, there was also a boy with black hair and a mask with painted features talking to a girl with half of her brown hair shaved and a little girl playing with a teddy bear in the corner.

As soon as we entered the room everyone looked at us, I could feel my cheeks turning red. Slenderman motioned for the girl to come over. Within a few moments more people had come into the room.

"Everyone, These are our two new family members. This is Sam." Slenderman paused placing a hand on her shoulder. "And this is Emilia." He said putting his other hand on my shoulder.

How did he know my full name? I thought.

Slenderman kneeled and us told we would be sharing a room for a little while. He told us where is was and to get to know each other.

We walked up the stairs in an awkward silence. We found our room and gasped when we walked in. It was a huge room with black walls, two double beds, navy curtains, two walk in closets, two desks and a door leading us to our own bathroom.

We each walked over and sat on our bed. Again, there was an awkward silence.

"Hi." Sam smiled at me.

"Hi." I smiled back.

"I'm Sam, and you're Emilia right?" She asked.

"Nice to meet you. You can call me Emily." I smiled. "How did you end up here?" I asked.

"Well, I was bullied all the time in school and didn't have any friends. One day after some bullies 'caught me' I found out my mother had committed suicide." She paused.

"Then my dad got home after I locked myself in my bedroom. He was always drunk and abusive but after the 'incident' it got a lot worse. I never left my bedroom, never ate, nothing. After a few days I started seeing Slenderman outside my window every night. And each time followed with a horrible migraine. Then I started hearing voices in my head telling me it was all my dad's fault my mom died. I slowly went insane and ripped out part of my hair." Sam gestured to the shaved side.

"After a while I started believing them.

One night they told me to kill him, and I did. Burned the whole house down and ran into the woods. Then Slender man found me and brought me here." She finished. Tears slowly ran down her face.

"I'm sorry about your mother." I said sympathetically.

"Thanks." She smiled. "How'd you end up here?"

I was about to answer but someone knocked on the door. Sam got up to answer it. I heard a male voice but I didn't know who it was.

After a few moments Sam turned and faced me.

"Dinner is ready." She said.

"Lets go." I said sitting up from my bed. I was starving.

As we walked down the stairs I saw her look at me but I decided not to question it. We walked into the kitchen and noticed no one was there, except Slenderman. He turned and faced us.

"Sit where ever you wish, the others will be here soon." He said.
