I decided it was time to go explore the house.

I quietly slid out of the room holding my knife just incase.

This mansion was huge. I was scared I'd get lost because of it's size.

I carefully walked through the large, black hallway.

I saw blood splatters everywhere but it was almost...comforting.

"Just another sign you're insane my dear..." The voice taunted.

"Shut up." I thought to myself.

"You can't run from the truth, Raven..."

"I'm not." I whisper-yelled.

I could hear the demonic voice laughing sadistically.

Was I running from the truth? No. That can't be...could it...?

I was snapped from my thoughts when a tall man appeared before me. He had tentacles coming from behind his back.
He had no face and he was dressed in a fancy suite.

"Who are you and why are you here, child?" His voice boomed loudly making me cringe.

I hated loud noises.

"I-I-I'm Raven." I whispered.

"What brings you to our mansion?" He asked questioningly.

"J-J-Jeff brought me h-h-here and I escaped but I wanted revenge a-a-and I hurt h-h-him but I felt remorse after s-s-so I tended to all the wounds." I answered stumbling over my own words.

"And what about yourself?"

Although he didn't have eyes, I could feel him staring at the gash on my arm.

"I-It's just a little s-scrape."

I could feel my warm blood slowly trickling down my arm.

"No it's not and I'm positive you are aware of that. Come with me." He said as he picked up with one of his tentacles.

I tried my best not to scream but it wasn't everyday you get picked up by a faceless man and his tentacle.

He carried me to another room but this time the door read 'Masky and Hoodie.'

I began to tremble in fear. I suffered from anxiety but I forgot my medicine, of course.

"Nice going, Idiot."

I hated that voice. It mimicked me perfectly but something about it was off. Insane. Morbid. I wish I knew how to make it shut up, but sadly, I didn't.

The tall man opened the door slowly and stepped in, shutting the door behind him.

"Masky, Hoodie, this is Raven. Raven, I am Slenderman and that's Hoodie" He said pointing to a boy wearing a yellowish orangish hoodie. All his facial features were hidden. All I could see were his glowing red eyes.

"And this is Masky." He said as he pointed to the boy in a jacket quite close to the color of Hoodie's but he wore a white mask.

I felt Slenderman finally put me down. "I-I-I'm R-Raven." I said as I stared down at the ground.

"Not to sound rude, but why did you bring her here?" Masky asked.

"Her arm needs to be tended to."

Before I could register anything happening, I was being seated onto a bed and Hoodie was cleaning my arm.

I winced in pain but bit my lip instead.

"Can't handle a little pain? Wimp."

I ignored the voice and focused on the pain. Once Hoodie finished cleaning my arm, Masky stitched the cut closed.

"This isn't exactly my business, but why are you wearing the bandana." Masky and Hoodie asked in unison.

Thoughts began to swirl around my mind. Should I lie or tell them the truth and show them the hideous mark on my face?
