Slenderman's Daughter, Night Slender

Past Memory

[Night POV]

I could hear voices around me. They were quiet but still audiable. Who owned them? I couldn't open my eyes to see. We're they more guards? I don't think so. They sound familiar but I can't place them. That's okay. I'm too tired to figure it out.

I drift back into unconsciousness.

I wake up in a room, a dark room with a small light sorcerer to my left. I turn my head to see a light, a small light, on a nightstand. I know where this is! I'm in my room at the mansion. It feels so warm and safe. There were drawings all over the room. Dad, Jeff, Ben, even Smile. I felt like I belonged here. I liked it.

There was a knock at the door, then someone came in. Night? Are you awake?

I smile. "Daddy!" I happily reply, jumping out of the bed and into his embrace. "You're back!"

He nodded. Yes. Did you have fun? Did you sleep well?

I lifted my head to look at him. "Mm-hmm, I did. Ben let me play with him. I lost though. No one can beat him!" I raised my hands hight into the air. "He's the best at games. Except hide-and-seek. I win all the time, but Hoodie's the best at it."

Sounds like you had fun.

"I did, but I missed you." He sets me back onto the ground.

I'm back. What would you like, a way of making it up to you?

I smile widely. "Tell me about mom. You never talk about her." Dad shifts on his legs. I can tell he doesn't want to talk about her. I give a nervous laugh. "Just kidding, just kidding!" I wave my hands in the air. "I'm still too young. Besides, I don't have powers yet." I pause then continue again. "Actually, I didn't know if I will get them. Maybe I didn't get them. Maybe I'm just a human." I lower my head, sulking, then quickly lift it, smiling. "Just tell me a bedtime story tonight, 'kay?"

Are you sure? Really?

"Yup. I can wait." I give him a hug. "Can I go outside?"

Are you not hungry. You just woke, right?

"Nope, I was gonna play with Masky, Hoodie, Ben, LJ, and Jeff. Jane even said she would play today. I know it's only 'cause Jeff is there." I begin to giggle. "She has a thing for him."

Okay, Dad says. Just don't go into the well. You know you're not allowed there.

"Yup, I won't. Thanks. Te amo."

Where'd you learn that.

"Masky. He says it to Hoodie all the time when Hoodie sleeps. It means 'I love you.' Don't tell anyone, but Masky likes Hoodie."

I won't. Now, go have some fun. Come back for lunch.

I nod. "Mmm-hmm. I will. Bye bye!" I run around Dad and into the hallway where I shout, "Let's go play outside! C'mon!"

I hear doors click open and some groans. Masky comes out, putting on his jacket, the Hoodie from the next room over. Ben comes, scratching his head. Jane walks out, grumpy, but pushes it off. "Come on fucker!" Another door opens and Jeff angrily stomps out.

"Fuck! Why did I agree to this! It's 7 in the morning." LJ comes down the stairs laughing.
