"You killed my prey! How dare you to just walk into my territory like it'd be your home! Who do you think you are?"
The boy grinned even wider. He took a few steps back into the shadows; maybe he didn't want Slender to see his face. He took his knife, cleaned it with his hoody and turned around.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Slenderman shouted again. He grabbed the boys shoulder and turned him around again.
"I'm Jeff." the short one said, his grinning face turned into a mask of pure sadness. "I'm a monster."
Slendermans chest suddenly hurt. They actually have something in common; Slender is always called a "monster", too. He let Jeff go and looked at him for a while. His anger disappeared. Slenderman could feel the depressed aura around Jeff, they both suddenly felt sad and lonely.
Jeff ran into the woods without saying another word. Slenderman walked back to his home without thinking about where Jeff would be going. He knew that Jeff was definitely about to cry, even though he doesn't have eyelids.
~Why the hell...? He said that they call him a "monster" and I felt really depressed, too. For some reason... I never felt something like that for years! When did I become this heartless?~
A scream cut the air. It definitely sounded like Jeff's voice, he was scared. Slenderman stood there for a while, thinking about what he should do. Should he run and safe Jeff? Or should he leave him and see what will happen?
"HELP!!" Jeff screamed again. This time, Slender didn't need to think, he jumped over a bush and ran, he ran as fast as he could.
~There he is!~
Jeff was leaning against a tree; his right leg and left shoulder were bleeding. He fell on the ground when he turned around and saw Slenderman standing right next to him. Jeff was scared, whatever attacked him. Slender turned around like he would be seriously looking for something, but there wasn't. The forest was as quiet as ever.
"What happened? You're bleeding!" Slender said, leaning over to touch Jeff. The boy slapped the tall mans hand away. Wide eyes were starring at Slender, a shaking body sat on the ground. Jeff whispered something, but Slenderman wasn't able to hear his words. He leaned over again, close to Jeff's face.
"Leave me alone!" Jeff whispered again.
"Idiot, as if I could leave you alone!" Slenderman said. He sat down next to Jeff and hugged him softly. Slender wanted to warm Jeff, he wanted to show the boy that everything was okay, that he isn't alone anymore.
"Damn, you should be really happy! I never wanted to help someone before, be glad!"
"I actually am really glad. You are the first person who threads me like a special thing. The first one who's just like me." Jeff smiled again and leaned against Slenders chest.
Slender was a bit angry. He couldn't say why he wanted to be there for Jeff. Maybe it's all because they are both... monsters?
