*Mia's POV*

It's been 2 weeks since we escaped from that horrid game, Slender. And still no sign or word from Ian. We hadn't told anyone, not even the police. I mean honestly, how could we? We didn't have a clue how to explain what's happened, much less what's going on. How 2 weeks ago we were trapped in the game Slenderman and a few days later we escaped just by the hair on our heads, and Slender came with us and now was somewhere loose in the world and we're assuming he kidnapped our friend. Who would believe us? Nobody. Exactly. They'd probably send us to a therapist or asylum. So that's why we're stumped and unwilling to ask for help. We don't really have another choice. We're forced to look on our own, which I'm guessing you could tell isn't going well. But none of us are ready to give up, we couldn't, Ian is our friend and his life could be at stake. Not only that but we had to stop Slender, we had to somehow get him back into his damned game and make sure he never gets out again. Only we didn't know how...

Rin and Ren were staying at Ian's place as they had nowhere to go, and I couldn't exactly sneak two close to full grown guys into my house without my parents flipping out or questioning me. Luckily we were neighbors so if they needed me they would let me know. Part of me wondered what would happen to them when we got this all sorted out, if we got this all sorted out. Would they be forced back to the game? Or would they stay here and start over? I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I visited them every day to make sure they were doing all right. It was interesting, Rin was interested in all the different things our world had that theirs didn't. Ren was interested as well but he was a bit more on edge. I couldn't blame him. Slender was more than likely out there, and even though he was weakened he still posed as a threat. Part of me also thinks Ren still feels bad about everything and that he feels responsible for all of this happening. I didn't want to bother him about it but I did tell him if he ever needs to talk that I'll listen to him.

I kept in touch with the guys incase any of them saw or heard anything, or if anything else important happened. So far nothing. As each day went on I kept becoming more and more worried. Luckily, I was good at hiding that kinda stuff from my parents, which would save us a bunch of confusion and drama is we had to try and explain it all to them. It also saves me personally from the teasing of my dad that I have a crush on Ian. So, for now, the only people we can trust about this is each other. We just have to keep our eyes and ears out and be patient.

*Narrator's POV*

Ian awoke in a dark and unrecognizable room. He was in shackles at his wrists and ankles and chained up to a wall. His first instinct was to try and get free, but he felt tired and weak and couldn't muster the energy to move. He looked around wondering where he was. Didn't they make it out of Slender? He remembered standing in a circle with Rin, Ren and Mia, as Ren used his so called 'power' to get them out of the game. Did it not work? Were they still trapped in that wretched game? If so, were the others ok? Ian bit his lip as panic start to set in, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

"H-hello?!" He cried out into the darkness. At first, there was no reply. But suddenly, the whole room was filled with the raspy voice he'd hoped he'd escaped from.

"Hello Ian." Slender said as he appeared in the middle of the room, his blank white face sticking out in the darkness. Ian gulped in fear, not wanting to be alone with the terrifying creature. But his desperate want for answers outweighed his fear.

"Where am I?"

"You're locked up in your own mind."

"Wh-what?!" Ian's eyes widened in panic. How was that possible? Surly Slender couldn't trap him in his own mind!

"I'm using your body to regain my strength, till I can make a body of my own which will take a lil while. After that I'm not sure exactly what to do with you, I have a few things in mind but I'll have to think about it."
