A/N- Sorry this chapter is so late! I've had personal issues and schoolnto deal with. Hopefully next Sunday I'll have a new chapter for ya! But until then enjoy this chapter!! Oh and my new update day is Sunday!! Haha xx Savannah XD (Oh the guy in the pic is Hunter)
The cold air chilled my lungs as I ran. The wind tangling my dark silky hair. My legs screaming in protest as I pushed my legs farther than I ever had seven years old. My mind lingered on the words he's left me with before the undefined figure got him as if he'd carved the simple command in stone.
"GO PENEOLPE! RUN! NOW!" He screamed. I watched behind a tree in horror as my father was attacked. All I could see of the attacker was his inhuman figure.
I ran then, not wanting to face the monster that was killing my father. The one who saved me. With my just my mother, things would change. And not for the better. I would become nothing more than a worthless rag with her.
I could feel him behind me after some time. I refused to turn around. Refused to face the truth. Refused to face my death. Refuse to face my person monster sent straight from the deepest pits of Hell.
But then my legs collapsed. And at that point tomorrow was no longer a mystery. Tomorrow was a long lost dream.
I awake beaded in sweat. The dark room seeming darker than ever. The image of the old nightmare replaying in my head. I haven't had that dream in five years. The memory has faded. More of a blur of events than a memory. And with new scars, old ones cannot be resurfaced.
I turn over and look at my alarm clock. 5:12 on a Monday morning. Thank God. Finally, the seven hours needed to get away from my worst fears.
The weekend had gone by uneventful. Apart from the usual beatings from my mother everything was normal. I stayed locked in my room until it was time to cook, clean, or go to work. I am free to leave, with curfew, but I choose not to. People tend to annoy me.
I get up out of my bed and find my outfit for a Monday at school. I feel like getting all dressed up forhardly no reason. I grab my light blue dress out my closet and my favorite pair of white sandles. With only fifteen minutes to spare until I have to cook breakfast I finish my make-up and hair in record time and run downstairs, with my shoes still in hand.
I start the eggs and put on my shoes. Kathrynne and Jason walk downstairs, hand in hand ready for breakfast.
"Hey Pen, just FYI mom's in the shower. You night wanna start on the rest of breakfast." She says sitting at the neatly set table with her boyfriend, who apparently stayed the night. I nod and start on the toast and set the jam on the table. I take a plate out the cupboard and fill it with eggs and put a piece of toast on it. I set her breakfast on the table next to the jam, repeating the process for Jason and Kat's breakfast.
"Thanks Penni." Jason and Kat say eating their breakfast. I nod and pour me a glass of milk. Normally I don't have this much extra time until Mom's ready.
"Good morning, Kat and Jason." Mom says looking at them two sitting and eating breakfast. "Thank you, Penelope."
"You're welcome mother. Please enjoy breakfast but I must be off to school." I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, one that she expected. "Goodbye mother, have a wonderful day at work." I finish and walk out to my car.
My mother does best to hide her abusive side, she got me nice things. I never have told a soul in return. I truthfully do love my mother, and know she only hits me because she blames me for my father's death. And if I'm to be honest, I blame myself.
I sigh to myself and turn on my favorite CD and drive to school. The same thing I do every Monday through Friday morning. The habit of things is nerve racking. Something interesting needs to happen.
Even though I've only been a senior for a month, the habit of things seems blinding. I need something new, something better than what we're already living with. I can't stand this never ending circle, even more now after what happened Friday.
I force myself out of my thoughts as I pull into the school. I grab my bag and exit the car. Unlike usual Conner seems to not be stalking me this morning, already a nice turn of events. I walk into the school building and head straight to my locker, grabbing the books needed for science and honors English. I then go take first choice of seating in homeroom (also my Science class). I sit in the corner that no one else would go in.
The room is extremely quiet. I put in my earphones and open my notebook and begin writing to escape the same old reality.
Slender Man. Is he reality or just another myth?
I, Penelope Lynn Sanders, believe to have made a great discovery. On the day of September 25, 2012 I saw a creature that appeared to be the Slender Man. Not only did I see the "Slender Man", but it also spoke with me. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm not. But the following did happen. I will believe what I saw.
"Umm... sorry to disturb you but is this seat taken?" Surprised for a moment I look up. My breathe catches in my throat. He's beautiful.
"Uhh... no. Nobody ever sits there." I mumble. Closing my notebook and putting it in my bag as Mrs. Patten walks in.
"I'm sure you'd like some company right?"
"Umm... I'm kinda uh used to being a-alone." I say, my antisocalness kicking me in the ass.
"Well, not anymore. I'm Hunter." His smile is amazing. Bringing out his sparkling green eyes.
"I'm Penelope, but you can call me Penni... or whatever you wanna." I stare at my empty desk, why is his presence sending a tingling feeling in my stomach? Is it because he's new?
"Well Penni, I'm glad I'm your friend now. Nobody needs to be alone." Friends?!?!? I'm perfectly fine alone thank you very much! I'd rather be alone. I like being alone! LEAVE ME ALONE!
"M-me too." I spill out. Oh Lord, what have I done?
