After millions of years, here is the third to last update.
*************
Today was the day.
Sue and I were kept in seperate rooms at all times throughout the day, not even being allowed out for meals. They probably suspected that we would conspire with one another, so I was kept in my bedroom all the day, and I had assumed they did the same with Sue.
As usual, Victoria sat on the edge of my bed. She hummed a soft tune as she made adjustments to a long black gown of lace and silk. She was being her usual obsequious self, calling me by my title as "Lady" and catering to my every whim, even when it was not required of her.
As night fell, I looked out the window of the the 10 story mansion and saw many Pastas moving out of the mansion and into the cool night air on the large expanse of grass around two short pillars. I watched with dread as the tall creature joined them, and placed a pendant on each pillar.
Not even two seconds later, there was a knock on the room door.
"It's time," a gruff and unfamiliar voice said ominously from behind the closed door.
Victoria smiled nervously. I hurried into the dress and Victoria helped me to tighten it's corset. Whoever was outside the door grew impatient.
"It's time," he repeated yet again, this time agitation evident in his voice.
Victoria opened the door and I rudely pushed pass the hideous pasta and descended the many staircases to get to the bottom. Victoria had placed 'Demon' in the requested hiding spot from overnight. Fortunately for us, I had related the plan to Victoria who in turn related it to Sue.
We were getting closer now. Closer to the door that led to a fate I had to accept. As Victoria opened the door for me once again, I stepped outside among the crowd of Pastas, and felt once again very uneasy.
The crowd of Pastas parted and their eyes followed me as I walked slowly, clutching the ends of my dress in my hands, looking around. I stood up beside Sue, who wore an unreadable expression on her face as she started into the crowd of Pastas, who had formed a circle, enclosing us and the pillars.
The Slenderman emerged from the crowd of on lookers and there was a certain electricity in the air, and the faint sound of static could be heard.
"The time has come, for these human girls to fully become the Slenders they were destined to be. From their very first breath at birth and their first sight of this world, they were sealed unto fate for this very night's sake. They have refused us in the past, but what is in the blood, the nature of us all, is stronger than any mindset we may have."
I stood frozen in horror with the realization of what was really taking place, what I was submitting myself to but quickly reminded myself that it was the only way.
Because, if possible, only a Slender could defeat another Slender.
The tall creature approached the pillars and pulled a knife out of his suit. He sliced his left hand and thick black liquid oozed over the pendants, covering them.
Much to our surprise, the pendants glowed an eerie black and absorbed the Slenderman's blood.
He then took the first one up and approached me with it. I tried my hardest not to appear afraid as he gently placed it around my neck. He took the other and placed it around Sue's neck as she stood there, surprisingly calm, avoiding my eyes.
Suddenly, all the pastas focused their attention on the sky. Only a small wisp of a cloud covered the moon and soon, we all knew, the moon would be fully exposed, full and bright.
The nervous feeling any stomach was growing stronger by the second. Would it hurt? What if Victoria didn't come in time with the sword after the transformation? Why on earth was I stupid enough to think a sword I found in HIS mansion would be enough to hold him off?
And in the flash of a second, all my thoughts ceased. The pendant on my neck grew a bright red and soon I was enveloped by darkness.
I let out a piercing scream as pain shot through every limb of my body. I could feel that my feet were no longer on the ground, and I was now suspended in an empty void.
My bones felt like their were being crushed and my muscles felt like they were being stretched and an incredible burning pain shot through my chest. Soon my screams turned into frightening demonic roars and my eyes rolled back into my head.
The faint sound of another scream over my own was the last thing I heard before I slipped into sweet, relieving unconsciousness.
