You can't hold it in forever...

Daddy

*Zalgo pov*

*************10 years ago************

"Here you go K, happy birthday!" I removed my hands from her eyes.

*Gasp* "A BOW! AND ARROWS! THANK YOU DADDY!!" Kathleen turns around and kisses me on the check then runs inside to show off her new present. I'm glad that my child shows an interest in some kind of weapon.

"MIIIIIKE!" I knew my wife wouldn't agree with my decision. She has that look on her face.

"What is that thing that my daughter is holding." She almost whispered it so the kids wouldn't hear.

"It's a bow and arrows." I reply with a smile.

"You know what I mean" she hissed back. She always just gets right to the point.

"Oh the markings. They are just your standard curses and hexes for an excellent hunter's bow." Her mouth drops and her eyes look like they're going to pop out of her head. I get the feeling that I'm being watched. I stiffen.

"COME OUT OF THERE YOU CHILD MOLESTER" I yell with out turning to the woods behind me.

"Go inside and keep the kids away from the windows, this won't be long." I whisper as I turn around to face the woods. Slenderman walks out.

"You have three seconds to state your business before you leave." Why does he show so much interest in my children when he can't have them?

[I- "YOU WILL SPEAK WITH THE GIFT I GAVE YOU OR YOU WILL LEAVE" He glares at me with his non-existent eyes. I rember when I gave him a mouth, he practically begged me. When he realised that a mouth was pointless and asked me to remove it, I never did. I smile as I hear a creaking noise and his lower jaw falls down a bit as he opens his mouth.

"You know I hate speaking like this." his voice was raspy from lack of use.

"I know that's why I make you do it. Now state your business." I was getting impatient I still have to show my daughter how to properly hold the bow and fire the arrows.

"You know why I'm here." Ugg this again. He has such a thick scull.

"You know my answer is no, you can't have one of my kids to train as one of your proxys. They're mine, get your own." What part of 'mine' does he not get?

"Do you really need all three of them? I can't just have one?" He really seemed desperate. I guess the stream of proxys wasn't coming as he had hoped it would.

"I won't give you any of my children because, The oldest is already my servant, the middle child will be my hunter, and the youngest will preach my ways to the world." He knows this I've told him this every time he asks for my children.

"I would have thought that the oldest would have been the hunter." He obviously dosent know how to take a hint.

"This is no problem for you because, you're leaving now." I say with force. He looks at me and smiles in his weird way.

"You and I are equals now. You don't have the power to expel me anymore." I scowl but on the inside im worried for my children.

"You cannot protect them forever and one day I will have them." I have no doubt in my mind he will stop at nothing to fulfil his promise.

"That hunter of yours seems like the perfect proxy i will be back for her on her sixth birthday." A look of fear must have come into my eyes because he smirked. I couldn't lose her. Not k. Slenderman turned around and walked away.

**********6 months later**************

*Thump* "Yay! I hit it daddy did ya see it?" K is so excited. She finnaly hit the center of the target and, from 100 yards too. Not bad for a daughter of mine.

"Great i'll go get it." I jogged over to the target we had set up in our back yard. My power grows weaker every day and by the time Slenderman comes back I'll be as defenseless as a mortal. I pull the arrow out of the target. No I will not loose my daughter. I jog back to her and hand back the arrow. She notches the arrow and pulls back her bow. *THUMP*

"Yay daddy I did it again!"

*********Later on that night**********

"Dad is it necessary that this happens now?" Sean whispers to me.

"Yes my son it is of utmost importance. We must keep Kathleen safe. Kathleen is the one he wants." I whispered back. It was dark out and everyone was asleep.

"But why do I have to do it?" Sean whines.

"You know why. I'm sorry but this must be done. While I watch over Kathleen in her sleep you must watch over her in the wakeing world." I explained. We were in my bed room.

"Just remember Mom won't be able to see you any more once I'm gone." He sighed.

"Ill go over the plan again when I leave my mortal shell you will guide my spirt over to K. After that you must cut up my mortal shell and write my name on the wall with the blood. After that you must leave this house and follow K where ever she goes. Keep her away from the pastas, and keep her on the move. No matter the cost. When I'm strong enough I will have grown a new mortal shell and I will leave K in her sleep and then my powers will be strong enough to protect us ask for the rest of our lives."

We had gone over the plan sence 9:00 When everyone else went to bed. It was now midnight.

"Lets do this." I start to force my form out of my mortal shell. Then *pop*. I had so little energy, I barely felt it as Sean pushed my spiritual form through the air towards K's room.
