the fate that I have been given

Chapter 6

I sat up quickly and gasped for air. I looked around seeing I was back in the forest

"Maryanne?!"

A familiar voice said behind me.

I looked back seeing Masky looking at me in disbelief.

"b-but how?!"

he said in shock.

i looked down seeing that i still had my wounds and they were stil bleeding out.

"um...I....uh.."

i said a bit weak trying to gather up the right words to say.

i sghed then told him everything that demon zalgo told me. i then showed him the symbol on my wrist.

he looked at me wide eyed staying silent.

after a minute i spoke up

"...and i have to go see this slenderman person.."

"slenderman?"

masky said

"i live with slenderman.. ill take you to him."

he stood up while wincing a bit then helped me to my feet, heading back to his cabin. i put my arm around his shoulder helping him since his ankle was broken.

"i cant believe youre a proxie.."

i chuckled

"yeah... im not forward to this killing stuff.."

i then sighed.

we got to his cabin and masky opened the door for me. i walked in and looked around seeing jeff on the couch talking to the man with the blue mask. he then looked up at me and his eyes widened in disbelief

"WHAT! HOW IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID YOU SURVIVE?!"

i rolled my eyes ignoring him and masky spoke up

"zalgo spoke to her after she died.. turns out shes a proxie."

masky said looking up at jeff.

jeffs eyes widened like he just had been scared to death

"shit."

he said under his breath then ran into his room.

"what was that all about?"

i said looking back at jeffs room

"hes scared because he knows your gonna get payback on him for killing you."

the man with the blue mask said a bit quiet

Masky took my hand and limped the rest of the way to the last room in the hallway.

he opened the door and i walked in, the symbol that was on my wrist was all over the room and they were glowing a red. there wasnt really anything in the room except a stand with a book on it and a glass bowl covered it.

then a man with a black suit who was very tall, had long arms, tenetacles coming out of his back and had no face appeared in the room.

my heart started to beat quick as fear went through my body. i couldnt look away. i heard a ringing in my ears as my heart raced faster. i felt as if i was in a trance.

"child, you do not have to be afraid."

he said to me. i was a bit confused of how he could talk sinc he didnt really have a face but i didnt queestion it the time. i shook my head, getting out of the trance and i looked up at him.

"zalgo told you about your fate, correct?"

i nodded

"yes he did, sir."

slenderman nodded

"excellent. masky could you get the small box in the closet please?"

masky nodded then limped over grabbing the box, he then limped back over with the box then handed it to slenderman.

he whispered some sort of spell then the symbol on the top of the box glowed, opeing the box.

a machete that looked pretty old, laid in the box. he took it out, holding it gently then handed it to me.

i examined the machete closely. i saw another one of the symbols carved into the handle of the machete

"whats up with this symbol?"

i said a bit curious

"its a symbol that means well me.. its technically my symbol.. its very sacred and important.. but you dont really need to worry about it."

i nodded

"alright."

"you understand that being a killer ran through your family for many of years."

he said looking down at me and i nodded

"but fortunately you died before getting your fate so you had to become imortal to fulfill that fate. your mother and grandmother were both visited by a demon named Shadow Lurker who told them their fate, but you got lucky and saw the ruler of the under realm."

"but... i dont understand.. i never saw my mother or grandmother kill anyone before.."

slenderman looked down and sighed then placed a hand on my shoulder. i started to get worried

"thats because the grandmother and mother you are talking about arent youre real family. right ater you were born your mother gave you away to another family not wanting you to be in a life full of murder.."

my eyes widened then filled with tears

"so all these years... i lived with people that werent actually my parents?!'

tears fell down my face

"i still get to see my real mother though... right?'

i looked up at him

" i wish it could be possible but sadly just a few moths ago your mother commited suicide."

i started to cry

"what?! no!"

i put my hands over my eyes and masky patted my back looking at me with pity.

slendermn sighed.

"well, you better go get some rest. you have a lot to learn tomorrow."

i nodded and wiped my tears away. masky took my hand and i looked over at him and smiled softly.

slender looked at us a bit suspicious but didnt say anything.

i walked out with masky, holding my machete in my hand.

i looked down and sighed

"i dont wanna become a killer.."

masky looked at me feeling bad then took my hand again.

"i wanna take you somewhere that i go to when im feeling down."

he smiled and started to walk, pulling me with him.
