The forest

The day next day
My parents were gone and i went to Mark's house, I helped him to go to the police station. We reached at the police station and Mark told them about what happened, the police officers hired someone to draw what Mark saw. While Mark was talking to the person, i was on the phone with Laine because Laine was on the trip with her parents on Paris. A few mins later, Mark called me and the drawing was finished. I was shocked, i was scared, and i was terrified when i saw the drawing, M-Mark saw...

Slenderman.
I was quiet and scared I don't what to say or to react but when Mark looked at me
He said he saw me crying in silent. I couldn't hear anyone or anything, i can only see Mark was shouting my name and then i heard him. I told him we should go home. When we reached to the car, He asked me

"Why were u crying in silent?" He asked
"Because that was slenderman" i said with an eerie tone of my voice
"Am i going to die?" I said it because i was scared
"What! No" he said
"We should probably get going" i said
"Sure" he said

I was driving the car to my place, because Mark didn't want to stay at his house and his mom is at the business trip.
Finally we were at my house, and we still have to do the overnight challenge, but Mark was scared and he bailed anyway but I understand cause his leg and all. I still have do it cause it's a. Challenge. I told him that

"I'm going to leave the house in a few minutes and go to the forest" i said
"Be safe okay?" He said
"Psh! Of course" i said confidently
"Why are u doing this?" He asked while looking down
"Cause i love doing these kind of challenges" i said
"What if you did or get killed?" He asked while looking down
"I won't get killed, I know how to defend myself" i said
"Yeah but you're a girl, they might get easy on you" he said
"Mark i'll be fine okay, I'm going to pack some snacks and clothes" i said
"Fine" he said

So i packed some food and some sweaters,jackets,shirts,socks,and some shorts just in case.
I was about to leave but i heard something, when i go down stairs, I went to the kitchen and i saw Mark was making a sandwich. I said

"Oh my cookie! You scared me to death" i said
"What? I was just making a sandwich" he said
"fine, i'm gonna go now" i said
"Wait let me drive you" he said
"Mark your leg" i said
"I'm okay" he said
"Fiinee" i said

We were on the way and i asked him about Laine
"Are you planning to ask Laine to be with her?" I asked
"What no! I told you we are just FRIENDS" he said
"Whatever you say" i said
"Oh we're here!" I said
"Be careful okay?" He said
"Of course" i said
"Beth, please come back quickly" he said with a sad tone of his voice
"Okay, don't worry, i'll be back in 2:00AM and it's only 5:00PM here so i better hurry, bye Mark" i said
"Bye Beth" he said

I left the car and went to the forest. it was a long walk and the forest was very beautiful at the deep of the forest i saw a little house.
I didn't go inside cause it might be demonic or anything, so I continued walking and it was getting darker and darker.
After a long long walk to the forest it was already 6:15PM, but while i walking i saw a paper stick into the tree and i came closer to it, it was the exact paper i saw

I was shocked and i ran and i ran until i can't see those papers. After a few hours,
I still continued walking and it was 12:30AM,it was almost two, but I decided to go back and while i was going back, i heard something or SOMEONE sneaking up behind me so I turned around i saw nothing, then I continued walking again, i heard it again, i looked back once more I didn't see any but when I faced front again i saw a feet and i pointed the flashlight to his face i saw

I saw this but he didn't do anything YET, he introduced himself

"Hello young lady" he said
"Who are you?"i said with an anger tone
"No need to be angry but my name is the Crooked man"  he said
"What do you want" i said
"You probably heard of me, cause one of your friends told you about me" he said
"You were the one who stole-" i said without finishing my sentence
"Yes i am the who stole his phone" he said
"But that's impossible because i saw a long black tale, but I don't see any tale attached to you" i said
"Well about that tale you were saying, young lady that's not a tale, it's a tentacle of Slenderman" he said
"Slenderman!, what do u want exactly?" I said
"You see here, as your friend told you that i can turn you to anything or a slender" he said
"Just let me leave alone" i said
"Young lady, you're already at the deepest part of the forest as you can see Slenderman has an eye on you and he asked me to turn u into a slender " he said
"No no, I don't want and why me?"
"Because when he saw you, he knew you were fearless and probably your curiousness about everything" he said
"I want to home" i said
"Haha, you can't cause i'll be using you" he said
"Please" i said, i beg for mercy
"No honey, you'll end up with slenderman so he can give me something to return" he said
"Now come with me" he said
"No" i said

I ran as fast i could but he was a crooked man, i knew he'll find me anywhere
I stopped cause if I didn't do what he said, he will kill my friends and my parents all the people i love. I returned to him and he was still there with that scary smile on his face.
And i said

"I'll do anything u said" i said
You're a smart one. I can read your mind so i can hear earlier" he said
"But in one condition" i said
"And what is it young lady" he said
"I want my friends to forget and my parents to forget me also, so they won't sad or get worried" i said sadly 💦
"Of course" he said

He blew something on my face, it was like a dust, but i fell sleep or unconscious because o that dust.
I woke up and i was..
