    A note. He left a note, for me. I read it again.

    I saw what you did today

                             -(X) Slenderman

    He knows where I live, and he stalks me. There is nothing I can do, except leave. I grab my backpack and put all my clothes in it. I put the note in my pocket.

    "What are you doing?" Dylan asked as she blocked the doorway.

    "I need to go, you won't be safe as long as he knows I'm here." I try to push past her, but she won't budge. I frown. "You need to move, as long as I'm here your in danger." She still wouldn't move.

    "You forgot that you have us now. If he messes with you, he messes with all of us." She grabbed my hand and pulled me over to her laptop. She Skype called everyone. "GUYS! IT'S AN EMERGENCY! SLENDY IS STALKING MEL!" They looked at me through the computer. I held up the note so they could read it. Shelby gasped. 

    "Can everyone meet at my house as soon as possible?" Dylan demanded. Everyone nodded. "Bring the gear." Dylan singed off and closed her laptop. She ran to her closet.

    "The gear? What's the gear?" I asked as she threw things out of her way. She pulled out a duffle bag.

    "The 'gear' is a bunch of holy items to, hopefully, ward off Slenderman. We haven't exactly needed it for anything yet, but now we have a reason." She cleared off her desk and dumped out the objects from her bag. There were candles, a Bible, some chalk, a few crosses, a few rosaries, and a plastic spray bottle filled with, what appeared to be, water. She spread out the objects and lit the candles then spread them throughout the room. She turned off the lights. A few minutes later, Riley and Sadie burst into the room, followed closely by Steven. They all had large bags. With out saying anything they all emptied the contents of there bags and lit there candles. Then Shelby and Coal came in and did the same thing. They all put on a rosarie and Dylan put one around my neck. The chain sat uncomfortably on my neck and the cross felt hot on my shirt and for some reason it filled me with terror. Shelby held her Bible and flipped through the pages until she came to a page that was near the back. She starts chant random things while everyone pulls out there spray bottles and sprays the air with mist. As soon as the mist touched me, it burned. I screamed as I ran away from the mist.

    "WHAT IS THAT!" I screamed at them.

    "It's holy water." Dylan explained. "Now we know it works." She and everyone else sprayed the window sill then a few people ran out and sprayed the perimeter of the house, except for the door. Now the house was Slenderman proof.

*Slenderman pov*

************That night***************

    I teleported away from the mansion to Mel's house. I looked up at her window and teleported in. As soon as I teleported in I felt an excruciating burn all over my body.

    [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!] I tried to scream silently but I came out louder then it should have because Mel and her friend shot up in there beds. I had fallen to my knees, the pain was terrible. [what did you do to me.] I hissed in their heads. Mel's friend stared at me with a mixture of terror and aww, while Mel had a fierce look of determination in her eyes. She walked up to me and stared me straight in the face.

    "Why are you stalking me?" She asked with crossed arms.

    [I...have...my...reasons.] I managed to spit out between waves of excruciating pain. Mel walked over to a table and picked up a spray bottle. I nearly chuckled, she was threatening me with a spray bottle. She squirted my face and it felt like she squirted acid on my face instead of water. I managed to keep in the scream this time, but Mel and her friend still heard it. I covered my face with my hands. [WHAT IS THAT!] I screamed in there heads, Mel's friend flinched while Mel stared at me with a guarded look on her face.

    "Holy water, now talk. Why are you stalking me." She grabbed my hands and yanked them away from my face. I thought for a second. She held up the spray bottle.

    [I DON'T KNOW!] I said right before she squirted me. [AAAAARRRRGGGGGG!] I covered my face again.

    "What do you mean you don't know?" Mel asked, crossing her arms.

    [I mean I don't know! I don't know why I've been following you around and watching you. I don't know.] My hands started to turn pink from the burns of this 'Holy Water'. I'm guessing my face started to turn pink as well because a small flicker of emotion flickered across Mel's face. Uncertainty.

    "Do you think we should call the others?" Mel suggested. Her friend nodded and picked up a cell phone and took it out side of the room. Leaving Mel and me in an uncomfortable silence.

    [Why did you run away from me that day?] I asked. She thought for a minute before replying.

    "I don't know." She sat down on her bed. "I just did." The pain from the holy water was starting to really burn me. Faster then I could heal. A small flicker of concern crossed her face, but she quickly replaced it with a determined look. With my dieing strength, I delved into her mind and looked at what was really going on. I was shocked to see that she was trying her hardest not to run over and help me. She looked at me then looked away. Another wave of pain washed over me and I hissed and balled my fists. Mel looked at me then stood up and left the room. A few minutes later she and her friend returned. Mel had a wet cloth in her hand. She stood face to face with me and started dabbing my face with the wet cloth. I instantly felt less pain. She removed all the holy water from my face. I stared into her eyes and she stared into my face.

    [Im sorry about abandoning you a while back.] I rubbed the back of my neck. Another wave of pain rolled over me and I screamed internally again, causing Mel to jump a bit. I felt dissy from the pain and put a hand down to steady myself. She grabbed my shoulder, concern etched on her face.

    "What's wrong?" She asked.

    [I've never felt pain like this before.] I admitted. Another wave of pain came as three of Mel's friends ran into the room. My scream of pain startled them. A minute later two more of her friends ran in. One of them was the young female that I nearly ripped in two. My vision started to dance with black spots as the pain intensified. I had both my hands on the floor to steady me now. Mel's face was the last thing I saw before my vision went black and for the second time in my life, I passed out.

*Mel pov*

    OH SHIT! He passed out. Everyone was shocked. I was the first to react. I ran over to his side and grabbed his arms, pulling him down the hall and to the stairs. Everyone caught on to what I was doing because they helped me carry him down the stairs and to the back yard. Once we got out side he started to heal slowly. I changed into slenderwoman.

    "Guys, I got to take him away. Before someone sees him." I picked him up with my tentacles.

    "WAIT!" Dylan pulls out her phone and stands in front of Slenderman and me. She takes a selfie with us in the background. "Ok you can go now." Everyone face palmed at the same time. "What?"

    "Dylan, omg." Shelby said around her facepalm.

    "What?" Dylan threw her hands up. Steven put one of his hands on her back.

    "Did you go back to Office Depot?" Steven asked gently. A confused look came over her face.

    "Ya how'd you know?" She asked as everyone but me (and Slenderman) groaned.

    "You sniffed all the sharpies they use for samples again, didn't you." Shelby crossed her arms.

    "Ya you want to come with next time?" She seemed excited, "I'm going next week."

    "No, we aren't comeing. You shouldn't even be going." Sadie face palmed.

    "Well if you would just try it you-" Dylan was interrupted by Shelby.

    "Why are we talking about this now? Mel is supposed to get out of here." I nodded.

    "See you guys later." I teleported back to Slenderman's tree. I placed him down at the trunk. "I can't believe I'm doing this, here goes." I hope this works. [PROXYS! COME TO MY TREE IMMEDIATELY!] I climbed up into the tree and hid in a large bunch of branches with Slenderman in my tentacles. I hope this works.
