I woke up in the bed from before, but it was clean, there were no blood stains. I looked up, the window was still broken, I could still escape. I walked over to it and started to climb out. What are you doing? The voice nearly made me fall down, I turned around and saw Slenderman standing at the end of the bed. "Don't sneak up on me like that. Please." Slender walked over to me and pulled me out of the window, What are you doing? he asked again, "Leaving? What does it look like?" I tried to squeeze myself out of his grip, but he held on, Where are you going? "Far away from here." Why? "Well, I don't know, maybe it has to do with the fact that you, KILLED MY BEST FRIEND!" I replied sarcastically, did he really expect me to just forget that and live with him? No, I mean why? You know there's nowhere to go. And anywhere you go, you know I'll find you. "I told you before. I would stay here with you and not try to leave if you left Matt alone, but you didn't." And I told you, I'm not giving you a choice. You could either accept this and be good, or keep running away only to come back here. I felt tears but wiped them away, "Look, I just want to go home. Please." Slender walked over to the bed and placed me in it. This is your home. "No it's not." I sighed, "I mean my real home. You said you love me? Well there's an expression, it says, 'If you love someone, you'll let them go.' now you have to let me go. I don't want this." I'm not letting you leave me. I know you're upset, but it'll be okay. I'll take good care of you, and if you want, when I bring in more people you can play with them. "Why? So you can kill them too?" Yes. The world is mean, and it's filled with mean people. I'm trying to get rid of them, and I'm keeping you so you'll be safe from them. "Look, kidnapping people is not the answer, there are many nice people too, and if you kidnap them all, then the world won't have them to help the mean people become nice." Mean people can't become nice. They have to be killed. "Wait. Matt wasn't mean, why was he here?" He was mean, he tried to learn about me, he wanted to expose my secrets. I had to get rid of him. I took a deep breath, "Where is he?" I got rid of him. "But where is he? Is he still in the woods, or is he in that closet?" Closet? Oh yeah. He's in there. "Take me to him." Charlotte. Why? "Because. I want to see him." But he's dead. "I still want to see him." Charlotte I really don't think-. "JUST LET ME SEE HIM!" I cried. Fine. He picked me up and put me on the floor, then he lifted up the bed, I opened the trapdoor and ran down the steps, I ran to the door as fast as I could and I opened the closet, an axe flew next to my head. I shut the door and locked it, I grabbed the axe and turned on the light. I didn't see Matt anywhere, suddenly a knife flew by and hit my right arm, "Oww." I cried, falling to the ground. Matt's head poked up from behind a pile of dead bodies, "Charlotte?" Matt walked up to me, "Sorry, I thought you were Slenderman." I pulled the knife out of my arm, it wasn't in that deep, but it still hurt. "No hard feelings, I thought you were dead." "Yeah, so did I, then I was here, I don't feel any pain anymore, maybe we're both dead." I turned around to look at the door, Slender wasn't there. "I don't know how much longer we'll be alone." I looked down at the ground, "I don't know how much longer you'll be alive." Matt put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry, we'll escape. We have all the pages-" "No we won't. The pages don't bring us back. They're tracking devices, that's why he was always able to find us." Matt was frozen, "But. They were supposed to bring us home." I sighed, "No they weren't, I don't even know how we got that idea." Matt started to sweat, "But then, how do we get out?" "We don't. We're stuck. There's no escape." I heard footsteps, the door jiggled. Charlotte. Unlock the door. I ignored him, "Matt we're not safe here, well you're not at least, I'm not sure what he wants to do with me." Charlotte. Unlock the door now. Don't make me break it down. I stood up and walked to the door, "Wait, what are you doing?" Matt asked, "I'm coming." I said to Slender. I bent down and whispered to Matt, "Go, hide now. Don't worry about me." I walked back to the door and Matt ran and hid. I unlocked the door, I slowly opened it. Slender walked in, What's going on in here? I thought I heard voices. "It was just me, I was talking to myself." Slenderman looked at my arm, What happened? Is there someone in here Charlotte? I was sweating, "No, I was just trying to kill myself again." Slender grabbed me, Don't lie to me Charlotte. Who's in here? "It's just me, I swear!" Then can you explain how a right-handed girl was able to stab her right arm? I went pale, I didn't know how much longer I could keep this up, "I'm ambidextrous." I lied. Ok then, where's the knife? "I dropped it." Then find it. Actually, no, I'll look for it. "No, no. It's alright, I'll find it." No, I'll find it, just to make sure you're not lying to me. I turned to where Matt was, I didn't realize he was hiding where I put the knife, and I don't think he did either. I slowly walked over there, Stop. Don't move. I stood still, Slender walked over to me, then looked over in the direction I was facing, directly at Matt. So there's something over there, is there? I shook my head, "No! No!" he started walking over there, You really are a bad liar you know? I looked around, what was I going to do? I looked at the door, it was open. I took a deep breath and ran, this would hopefully distract him quick enough, so he couldn't find Matt. I ran back into the woods. But when I turned around I didn't see Slender following me. I walked slowly further into the woods. You can come back now. I found what you were hiding. I turned back to the mansion, I walked back, my head hanging down. I walked back inside the house, then felt a hand cover my mouth and another pull me away. I tried to scream but the hand muffled it, I looked up at Matt, holding tightly onto me. Charlotte. I know what you're hiding from me. Don't make me come after you. I tried to break free of Matt's grip, but he wasn't planning on letting go. Fine. But you're in trouble when I find you. Matt grabbed my legs and stopped me from kicking, I saw Slenderman run by, out the door in search for me. Matt waited a few seconds, then dropped me and ran to the door, he shut it and locked it, then he turned to me, "Lock all the doors, block all the windows." "But...what if he comes back." I asked, still scared. "Then don't let him in." Matt ran through the house, blocking all the doors, "But I thought he found you." Matt continued blocking the windows, "No, I slid the knife away and he found it." I sighed, "Thank goodness. I thought you were going to be killed." Matt walked over to the kitchen, "No," he said, grabbing a knife, "but you are." Matt pushed me up against the wall and held the knife up to my heart. "I want to know what the heck is going on here. Why can you talk to Slenderman? Why aren't I dead? What are you planning to do to me?"
