The Proxy

Help

Alexa's POV

The next day, we both woke up to an ugly, foggy, and grim looking day. I quickly packed the tent then Naomi and I was on our way. I began to hear.. Whispers in my head. Whispers? Was I going insane? This only happened once in a blue but it was never as intense as it is now.
I ignored it and we continued west for a few hours but then came across a weird figure hiding within the trees. Well, I don't think Naomi saw it because she wasn't really paying attention. But I just ignored the figure and continued walking, it was probably just my imagination anyway.
The figure starting following us, and that's when I knew I wasn't imagining things. I picked up my pace a little and Naomi did the same.
"Hey slow down you're way too fast!" She exclaimed.
"No! You need to hurry the fuck up!" I quickly responded.
She then started to take her time, walking slowly. She knew I hated that. The figure then came behind her and my eyes dilated. She ignored me as my mouth gaped open, at the height of the figure. It looked a good 7 to 8 feet, max. I stared at Naomi and mouthed Hurry up but she didn't care.
That's when the figure expanded its tentacles, I think that's what they were, and grabbed her.

Naomi's POV

Holy shit! What's happening!? I thought as I quickly ascended from the ground and dropped my things. I looked at Alexa, she looked terrified and had the look of exhaustion on her face.
I was then forced to face a faceless creature, all-white face. Then I thought...
Slenderman...
I know my creepypasta facts and such. After all, all those fanfics and headcanons had to mean something, right?
I knew what to do though. I closed my eyes and didn't look at him. I then heard his voice in my head.
Child... What is your name?
Naomi...
Naomi... And what about your
friend?
I turned my head and opened my eyes to look at Alexa who was slowly trying to hide behind a tree.
Alexa.
Hmm...
I saw Alexa hide and everything went black.

Alexa's POV

I hid behind the tree, and I could hear my heart pounding. After about 5 minutes I looked back behind the tree and Naomi and the figure was gone, her stuff still on the ground. I took the other backpack and was gonna continue west until I saw a trail of blood. I decided to follow it to see what would be at the end of the path.
While walking, I felt like shit.
She was somewhat my responsibility... How could I let that happen?! Fuck!! I smacked my head.
This was my fault, wasn't it? I knew something bad was going to happen but not as bad as this!!
