I ran through the crunchy leaves as I heard him behind me. I just got home from school and my father was after me, he has been drinking lately and always left bruises on me but this time he was going after me. I screamed afraid as he threw rocks and sticks, shouting my name to stop for he can continue hitting me. I looked on my side when I saw a shadow of a tall man about 6ft. I looked up to see his face when suddenly I tripped. I heard my father's foot steps getting closer and closer. I covered my head waiting for him to continue when I soon heard a bloody scream. Not just any scream his scream. I peaked to see what was going on when I saw a tentacle ripping his limbs. I stayed in shook of what was going on and saw it dropping my father when suddenly everything went black.

I woke up sweating and out of breath as I remembered the nightmare or the memory I thought it was. I was just six when it happened and now it's been 12 years since it happened. Mother says its was probably just my imagination and the loss of my father that effected me. But I know it's real. Tiredly I yawned and stood up walking to the bathroom and washed my face. After I brushed my teeth I looked out my window to see the green and beautiful woods. I smiled slightly and changed quickly into a t-shirt, jeans, and my black converse. I quickly grabbed my sketchbook and walked downstairs. I picked up a piece of bread and walked out and into the woods. I loved the woods since it's so peaceful and no one can bother you and especially there are things that you can draw. But sometimes I will always feel like someone was watching me but I shake it off. I walked deeper and continue to walk as I began to hum a song. I smiled and soon began to sing.
        Sooner or later I arrived at the place I always like to hang out in the woods. A meadow with a small lake and  flowers around it. I look for a good spot to sit and opened my sketchbook as I begin to draw the drawing that I didn't finish. I smiled as I look at the flower and draw it on my sketchbook. I soon felt like someone was watching me, the same way I felt every time I came down to the woods. I slowly put down my pencil, "hello?" I said gently as I lifted up my head and looked around "um anyone..t-there" my voice trembled slightly as I heard a branch snap. I closed my sketch book and soon heard a voice  "no need to get scared.." The dark and raspy voice said. Slowly a shadow creeped over a tree. I turned to see the tall tree, slowly and quietly I creeped over to it. I gasped at the sight of the tall creature. He was more then 6 feet tall, it had no facial features, no eyes nor mouth just nothing! I gulped as the creature was now close to me. He bend down for it could be the same size as me. Trembling in fear as I felt a cold and rather snake like tentacle around me, "No need to be afraid darling I wouldn't hurt you in any way.." His voice now smooth and calming as he lifted up my chin and tilted his head, observing me at how pale I was of fear. I managed myself to talk,"Who...are you.." My voice so shaky. The tall man chuckles as he ran his boney fingers through my dark brown hair. "You really don't remember darling?" He asked, looking down at me "perhaps you were to young to remember the incident." I looked at him slightly confused until I remembered what had happened 12 years ago. With my father...with the screams I heard. It all made sense he was the one who saved me from my father. It felt like a dream that day but it was all real. I blinked and stood there blankly until he spoke and the response made a chill down my spine "My name is Slenderman..."
