Falling Apart

Chapter 5

"Unless you want to end up like your little friend I suggest you back away." I snarled at the shadow of the Magician. 

"So much anger and strength in such a tiny, idiotic girl." He claimed stepping into the light. I growled lowly and stood up straight. 

"Clare." Jeff snapped. He lightly grabbed my arm pulling me back. 

"Let go of her, or else I'll have to kill you." The Magician boomed and in the blink of an eye he was no longer in front of me, but behind me and Jeff. "Come on now." 

I felt Jeff slowly let go of me. I turned around quickly and saw Magician towering over us. "You think you're so cool with all your little tricks? Why don't you stop hiding behind all that and fight like a man you little bitch." I said stepping closer to him, pushing Jeff out of the way. He laughed loudly. 

"You think you can over power me?! You are not nearly strong!" He continued to laugh. 

"Clare! Come on! Leave him alone and lets get out of here before he notices." Jeff whispereed in my ear. But it was to late as he already stopped laughing and was focusing on me. 

"I can do this." I said lowly.

"Actually, I have an idea. If you three leave the girl, you can go, and I won't try to find you, for now. And you can be safe, just leave the girl here." The Mgaician said. In the sahdows I could see Slenderman rising for the floor. "What'll it be?"

"We would never leave her with you." Jeff said instantly. 

"No wait. I'll stay. You guys go try to stop everyone else from going crazy. I'll eventually find you. Don't worry." I said glaring at the Magician. 

"He'll kill you! He'll erase you from existence and that'll be that." Jeff scream whispered. 

"I'm a crazy, pyscho killer with abnormal strength and speed, I think I'll survive." I said smirking. "I'll stay. Let them leave." I waved my hand towards the door. 

"Sounds like a deal." The Magician stated opening the door. As soon as it was opened Masy and Hoodie bolted away from the cave. Jeff stayed put. "Get out of here." Slenderman said in a dissapointed tone. 

"Jeff, just go. I'll be fine." I gave him a smile. He had a pained look in his eyes, which is saying a lot considering he enjoys killing people. 

"Drama queens. What has happened to recent killers." The Magician said rolling his eyes and walking around the corner of a hall with Slenderman on his heels. 

"Wow. They just left the whole front door opened. I could just walk out if I want-" I fell to my knees on the floor. I couldn't breath. My head felt like it was being split in half. My heart was about to explode. 

"Clare!" Jeff shouted falling on his knees next to me. As soon as it started, it stopped. And I felt completely fine. I could breath. "Are you ok?" Jeff asked wrapping his arms around me. I nodded my head. 

"Im not even going to try to leave." I said holding my head. 

"You're so stupid sometimes." Jeff said into my hair. 

"We're psycho. Its ok to be stupid. There are no people down here to kill though." I said. 

"You shouldn't have agreed you idiot." He still had his arms around me in a comforting matter. 

"I'll be fine. Just go. I'll find away to get out of this hell hole." I said laughing. 

"Just don't do anything stupid while you're down here." He said and I pulled away to look at him.
