Secrets Of The Thorn (A Creepypasta x OC Story)

Chapter 2 -

Our story starts with a female with pale porcelain skin with her pearl-green hair that looks as if the ends have been dipped in fresh blood; pulled back into an inverted braid. Her emerald green eyes with ruby red speckles in them look as if they are glowing with an unnatural light in the dim of the forest. This is Pearl, it is unusual for her to not be in the village bordering the forest watching or playing with the children, or maybe even helping someone who truly needs her help. It seems today that she has decided to take a day to herself and is taking a walk in the forest surrounding her Home. Though she seems to have a goal in mind on where she wants to go.

Pearl's POV

As I walk through the forest around my Home I can't help but marvel at the beauty of it. And while yes my Home resides in a dangerous part of the forest it is where I lived and grew up, and it is Home. Though I'm not the only one to call this forest Home. A large - ever growing group - of dangerous supernaturals live in this forest as well, but I have nothing to fear of them since I and my family have lived along side them in this forest for centuries; and have come to an agreement of sorts.

This forest is known to others as Slender Man Forest: named after the infamous Slender Man  who has taken up residence here.

We have an agreement between us that we mind our own business and not bother the other or try to get in the others way. It is a long standing agreement between my family and his people, though there are those like Zalgo who do not abide by this agreement and try to cause trouble.

Due to my family being Ancient; Slender Man knows that me and my family are not normal humans, that we two are supernatural our selves but not like his kind. For we are not killers, but peaceful. Though we will fight and defend ourselves if so needed.

Hearing something break from behind me I stop walking and observe my surroundings. I'm being followed. Most likely by Slender's people wondering what I am doing in these parts of the woods. I can here a slight ticking sound that's coming from the right. It sounds as if someone is trying to muffle it so as to not get caught. I zero my senses in on sound as I pretend to continue to look around.

As I listen closer I notice that what I previously thought was ticking was in fact the clicking and popping sounds of joints that are moved to fast, to sudden. The only resident in the forest that makes sounds like that is Toby. It seems that I have caught the attention of one of Slender's prized Proxies.

I continue to fake looking around while opening my senses to see who else I have caught the attention of. I pick up five other presences besides Toby's. I recognize Hoodie and Masky, along with EJ. But there are two new ones that I have not met.

I pretend that I don't find anything and turn back around to continue walking, while keeping my senses still flared out. As I walk I notice that another presence has joined; this time familiar. It seems that Jeff has joined the party.  

As I continue I notice another familiar signature has joined: it's Sally. She never really leaves Slender Mansion meaning I know why they are following me: I'm getting to close to there Home. And it's making them wary.

I continue on, slowly changing my direction; I skirt around there Home. My adjective is a clearing in the forest around a mile behind Slender Mansion and I don't come to it all that often, so they aren't accustomed to seeing me around these parts.

I walk for a few more minutes before I come up to the edge of the clearing, I can feel there curiosity now.

Slowly I push away the curtain of leaves and flowers hanging over the entrance letting them see inside. Behind the curtain of leaves and flowers is a clearing a little bit bigger then the size of an extremely large pond; in the center of the clearing is a slight hill with a huge ancient looking tree - that over shadows around a half of the clearing - standing in the center. The tree looks to be a hybrid between a Weeping Willow and a Cherry Blossom Tree. The tree itself seems to be ever constantly blooming and glowing with a natural light all on its own; lighting up the clearing. Surrounding the tree at the base of the hill are flowers of all kinds. Roses of ever colour, Peonies, Poppy's, Forget-Me-Not's, Tiger Lily's, Snap Dragons, Orchids, Amaryllis', Day's Of Lillie's, Hibiscus, Iris, Tulips, Daisy's and more, much more.
