“What the hell happened,” I thought to myself as I regained consciousness. See, I say consciousness, because I couldn’t open my fucking eyes! I have no idea where the hell I am… “You needn’t worry about that,” a voice told me. I forced my eyes open purely out of shock, and was met with complete darkness. I know I’m not crazy; someone else was just talking to me. “You’re correct. I was talking to you Aloe,” the voice responded. This time I spoke out loud, “Who is I? Show yourself!”

      A slow chuckle sounded and a tall figure appeared. It had no facial features. Its face was a pale white. It had arms as long as my body! It had long black tentacles waving from its back, almost in a friendly manor. “Happy now,” the voice teased. I started screaming relentlessly. He watched me scream for a few moments before one of the tentacles flew out and smacked me across the face. Hard. “Why are you screaming, when no one can here you?! That irritates me beyond belief! They ALL do that,” it yelled. I whimpered slowly in fear as I felt blood running down my face. Putting on a false bravado I yelled back, “What The Hell Are You?!!” I earned another slap in the face, “Insolence will get you nowhere with me, but if you must know. I’m most commonly called Slenderman, but by the kids trying to warn everyone, Him.”

      He chuckled again, “Time to go Aloe. I do hope you enjoy being wet.” What the hell is it ta- I gasped loudly as ice cold water was dumped on me. “WHAT THE HELL COLE,” I screamed. He shrugged, dropping the cup, “Your boobs look better when their wet anyway.” I blushed, typical Cole, he always made jokes when he was nervous. Before I could respond, I was lifted into a strong pair of arms. “DON’T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE ALOE McCORD!” he yelled at me. I went to place a reassuring kiss on his lips when I realized something. I was still in nothing but my panties! I scrambled out of Cole’s arms nervously. He gave me a confused me look, “What are yo- His gaze drifted down to my chest, “Oh yeah! We were a little to spooked to redress you… Sorry?”

"Where's Farah," I questioned. "She went downstairs to call the ambulance. I guess we can stop her now." Cole said. "Farah! Put Down The Phone! She's Awake!" Cole Yelled. I heard feet pound up the stairs. Before I could fully process what was happening, Farah had tackled me and I was on the ground. "Dude ! Boob-To-Boob action here, get off me!" I Laughed. She stood up and offered me her hand. I ran into the bathroom, with Farah trailing me,(For Obvious Safety Reasons). She closed the door behind herself and I hurriedly put my clothes back on, A shower would have to wait.u "Dont think you're off the hook. Just because lover boy forgot you passed out in the heat of the moment, doesn't mean I did." Farah warned. I sighed, I was gonna dread relieving what just happened to me. "Fine. I'll tell you both at the same time..." I said. We both walked out and back into Farah's room. Cole wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap while I suprressed a smile. This boy was turning me into a little softie.

"I assume you all are wondering why I passed out like that in the bathroom." I said. "DAMN STRAIGHT," Cole yelled from behind me. "Cole." Farah reprimanded, "Yes we are curious, care to tell us what happened?" I stiffened a bit, "When I went into the bathroom, I got undressed down to my panties, I turned around and bumped into a tall black figure and passed out. But that's not the weird part." "Then what is," Farah  questioned. I could see her trying to mentally put the pieces together in her head. "The weird part is, I woke up, but I wasn't here." I said. Cole looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" I sighed, this was the disturbing part. "When I woke up, I could think, I could hear, I just couldn't move. A dark, almost sinister voice, made me open my eyes and I was tied up in a dark room," I said. "I thought to myself, 'I Know I'm Not Crazy, Someone Was Just Talking To Me.' Then the voice spoke to me again, and I yelled for it to show itself. A tall, dark suited, white-faced, figure appeared. Lengthy obsidian tentacles, waved from its back in an sickly sweet manor... I couldn't do anything but scream. That only made him angry, so he slapped me with-" I reached up to cradle my cheek, and noticed that the cut was gone, and so was the blood. I whispered a silent, 'Thank you, god.' and got ready to continue the story when I noticed their faces. Farah still had a skeptical look on her face, while Cole was as white as 'him'.

"Cole what's wrong," I asked. "Thats- Thats not the first time I've heard a story like that. I've had an experience somewhat similar to that..." Cole said. Wait, what? Now he had MY curiosity on dangerous levels. When I'm curious I'm like Sherlock Holmes, I want all the details. "What do you mean you had an experience like that," I questioned. He laughed bitterly, "A while back, I had went into the forest, going for a run after school. I had been running for about a hour and a half, when I saw something in the woods. I would of stayed in there, but I got this ominous, dark, depressing feeling in my gut. So I high-tailed it out of there. Before I got to the gate though, I saw a figure in a black suit, white face with no features, looked just like what you described..." Farah burst out, "And why in the hell did you feel the need to not share this with me!?" "Farah," I yelled. "Look. Cole and I obviously had a similar experience with whatever the hell that thing was! Although he was a bit more violent with me... Cole when did this happen, exactly?" I said. He mentioned that it was about a month ago. There didn't seem to be a pattern here, but now definitely knew I hadn't been hallucinating..

Alright I've had enough, I'm tired of reliving this. "Can we all just go to bed and talk about it some other time," I asked. Farah responded with, "Well if my brother and bestfriend end up being killed by some fake ass Man In Black, we won't have the chance now, will we? Hhhh go to sleep.."  I frowned, but let Cole lead me into his bedroom, it was almost 6 in the morning, we needed to sleep. Cole collapsed on his bed, pulling me down with him. I laughed and snuggled into his body. "Goodnight, love," Cole said. I mentally smiled and slowly started to fall asleep...
