The Only Exception

Chapter 2

(Slenderman's POV)

I have been waiting for an update on my child. Maria has not even called once to tell me if the child were a boy or girl.

Today, with the help of my proxies, I've decided is the day I confront Maria. I am not sure if I want to kill her and Kenneth because she broke the promise. All I know is that if I cannot "hear" how my child is doing, I will go and "see" how it's doing.

I walked through the forest with Eyeless Jack and Jeff the Killer. Once we finally reached the house, I didn't even hesitate to knock.

Jack, Jeff, and I walked right in to find Marie and Kenneth sitting on the couch. Marie looked over. "Oh, eh, Slenderman, I'm s-so sorry I didn't eh, you know." She stammered. She knew why I was here. "Please, have mercy. I didn't mean to forget! I just got busy taking care of her!"

"So it's a girl eh? It's real sad you couldn't even call to tell him that." Jack spat.

"Y-yes it is a girl, she can speak, but she only says a few words. To a few people."

I heard crying. I knew that was my daughter. I looked at Jack, "Go prepare a room with a crib, fit for a girl proxy, but fancier at the mansion. We'll be meeting the child soon."

Jack nodded and ran off.
I looked straight to Maria. "Now darling, you are aware you disobeyed my conditions. Are you not?" She nodded taking in a breath and looking down.

"And do we remember what I said I would do if you did not follow through on these conditions, she withdrew her breath and nodded again, knowing what was about to happen.

I nodded to Jeff, signaling that he should kill them both. He nodded back. I walked away without a visible reaction and entered the room the crying came from.

From the room I could hear Jeff scream, " GO TO SLEEP!" I knelt down next to the little crib the girl sat in. As soon as she saw my face, she was silent.

At first I didn't move, neither did she. I on one hand was amazed at how much she looked like a human, dark red curly hair, blue eyes, a tiny little figure, even for an infant.

But, on the other hand, I'm not entirely sure thats why she was staring at me. She was probably scared. She didn't know who I was. I drew in a breath and picked the girl up from her crib and she giggled?

Well alright, it was pretty cute. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy seeing her as much as I do. I've only known her for about 3 minutes and I already love her.

I grabbed some outfits from her dresser and walked out with her in my arms. When I opened the door to the main room I saw Jeff towering over 2 dead bodies. "Thank you Jeff." He smiled an actual smile. "Sure thing Slendy, are we taking her back with us?"

"I guess we are" I said with a smile, handing Jeff the clothes and bouncing the baby lightly in my arms.
