A Stormy House-A Creepypasta Fanfiction

(12) The missing Pieces

~Slenderman's POV~

I heard the child's story as I sat outside the door in the hallway. There were a few others there as well, but I didn't make them leave. Toby was up against the door with his ear to it, Jack stood against the wall listening, and an ever-so-curious Ben was next to Toby, whispering to him.

"Shh!" Toby said quietly. From inside, we heard her sing a sad lullaby.

"Little boy, lying in your bed,

Dream of fairytale's I'll put in your head.

Your dreams won't have a painful ending

Because I'll continue my pretending..."

By the time the song was over, Toby seemed to be near tears. It wasn't just Toby, either, Ben stepped away from the door and looked around at us before leaving. Inside, I listened to her story about how she tried in vain to keep the family together. Finally, she reached the part when her mother tried to kill her father while Josh slept upstairs. While battling for the gun, her mother got shot somehow.

When Josh forgave Sam, I decided to leave them be.

"Come." I said to the others beside Jack. "Give them space for now."

Other than Jack (Eyeless Jack if you didn't know) they all headed off to do whatever they wanted. Jeff went to his room and blared some music, Ben went to the living room to play video games, Toby went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Jack, make sure neither of them leave this room, I have something to look into..."

I went to the living area first to get Ben, then we went to my office for a little research.

~My POV (lol)~

I'm sure why I didn't have Sam tell her little brother the entire truth about her birth family. Her mother and her father abusing her then dying. Maybe she shouldn't have left out such important pieces of information. Maybe Josh won't know about the third person in Sam's first family, but Slendy and Ben found out about him soon after starting their investigation.

"Sandra Dikes, age five,-" Slenderman read off the newspaper on his laptop- "ran away after apparently shooting both her abusive parents. She should be considered armed and dangerous. Joshua Dikes, who was barely a month old, is missing. It is known that Sandra does not have him. If anybody knows of the children's whereabouts are, please call..."

It didn't take long to find another newsclipping. Slenderman read it aloud as he paced around the office with a laptop. Ben sat at the desk, googling Sandra's story on an ipod he probably stole from a victim of his.

"Sandra Dikes was found only a few weeks after the death of her family. It was proven barely a day after the deaths that the girl's mother, Mary Dikes, shot the father, Nathan Dikes, before killing herself. The girl is in the hospital at the moment, though she is supposed to be released soon. When asked about her infant brother, she says she hadn't seen him in a few days.

"Papa said he was going to take him to an old house out in the forest so that a friend would babysit."

When police went to find the child, they found the infant had been left there to starve-"

Slenderman stopped and left the laptop on his desk before covering his face in his hands. Both of them were thinking the same thing as they had heard the story.

'Even I wouldn't do that, jesh.'

Sorry it was so short. Also, I realize you might want less of Sam and Josh and more with the creepypastas. I will get to that, don't worry.
