I woke up hours later to the sound of a howling wolf. But when I inspected the area I didn't see the creature. "I gotta be careful." I whispered to myself before jumping off the tree branch . When I  hit the ground though, I could sense something watching me. I looked  around once again to find I didn't look hard enough the first time. I saw piercing blue eye's glowing through the bushes and stare at me intensely. I stared backing up, making sure I take my eyes off them as I slowly pulled out my knife. The creature saw this and growled at me, revealing  its dirty , grey coat. It was a beautiful wolf except for the one flaw. From what I could see its ear had clearly been bitten off, a fight for dominance maybe.  

"Nice wolf," I said in a soothing voice while taking a step back. "I won't hurt you unless you hurt me." The wolf growled more, inching  closer to me. I started to shake as I fell back words in fear of the creature. The wolf then jumped on me and snapped at my arm making me bleed out. I  scream in pure agony while it shook its head around violently  . I closed my eye's, thinking it was all over. And as I waited for my fate to come I heard another  low growl.' Fuck another one?' I thought,  opening my eye's . The growling , however, did not come from another vicious wolf. Instead, it came from what looked like a dog with black and red fur. It looked like a husky almost  with a wide, human like smile.

The dog looked at me for a second before tackling the wolf off and onto the ground. As the two creatures fought ,  I ran off farther into the woods. Who knows if that dog will come after me next. While I ran, I held my injured arm in pain. I had to find something to bandage before I bled to death. I quickly  looked around for the nearest tree and climbed it, knowing I'd  be safe for now. Ripping  a piece off the bottom of my black dress, I tied it around the bite mark on my arm to stop the bleeding.

I then looked around to make sure I was alone. Once  the coast was clear, I climbed back down and started running again. 

******************

After what felt like hours I finally reached a town. I had to search for Jeff still,  despite my arm . I Slowed down my pace as I got close to a newspaper box. When I opened it , there was only one article left. I read the headline in amazement.

"Mystery Man" I kept reading on to see if it was the person I was looking for. It stated their was a man breaking into houses and stealing internal organs. What kind of fucking sicko does that? I kept reading though to see if there was at least something about Jeff, but it seems only this "Mystery Man" has touched this place. I might as well though check out the town to find anything suspicious. Who knows Jeff might even be here, it was worth a try.

I walked around for a little while and came across a park. It looked abandoned, at first. But as I got closer I noticed a little  girl. The girl had long brown, wavy hair that nearly covered her hazel eye's. She wore a pink night gown that was stained in red. Was that... blood? I stared at her as she played on the swings happily with a light blue Teddy bear in her grasp.

When I finally reached the little girl she stopped swinging and slowly moved her head down, whispering to her Teddy bear. I couldn't hear what she said only the  giggle she  afterword. "Why are you all alone out here?" I asked softly   kneeling down beside her. She didn't look up though, she only talked to the bear more.

"What's your your name?" I asked her, and watched as her gaze turned to me.  " My name's Sally... Do you wanna play a game with me?" I smiled at her words. But soon my smile faded as she pulled out a knife that was rusted in blood.

"Put that knife down sweetheart that's dangerous," I said with concern, reaching for the weapon. Sally smirked at this and cut my wrist. This  enraged but I tired not to let it show.

"Look Sally I don't know what your trying to do but-"

"Run," Sally's bear interrupted in a demon like voice. 'What the fuck?'  I thought , looking at the bear in shock.

"Run," he said once again this time smirking. I stared at the bear, wondering if i was imagining the whole thing when Sally tackled me. As i hit the ground she quickly got on top of me and pulled she knife back ready to stab me in the head. My dazed confusion then turned into pure anger as i shoved her off me and stood up.

Sally didn't like this, it was obvious by her annoyed look."Your not playing the game right!" she yelled as she got back up. I honestly didn't know what to do. I couldn't kill her because she was just a little girl. I couldn't  take her to the cops because again she was just a little girl. I didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, Sally stabbed stabbed me in the stomach, snapping me out of thought. I fell to my knees and started coughing blood onto the concrete. 'I can't die now,' I thought. 'Not in the hands of a little girl.' I grabbed the knife and started to pull it out. As I did this I held back my screams and looked at the astonished Sally who looked as though she didn't know what to do.

"Play times over Sally," I said as I pulled her hair back and put the knife against her neck. Then Sally did something. Something I didn't expect. I watched as Sally started to cry making me drop the knife on the ground.  She then hugged me tightly and sobbed," I didn't play the game right." Despite the pain I hugged her back and started to rock her back and forth, cooing her.

"H-he touched me and made me touch him back..... I didn't want to play the game but he made me...W-when I told mommy he got mad and punished me for it." Sally said as she started to cry harder. I made her look at me as I wiped away her tears. I smiled at her, telling her everything was okay. Then my smile quickly turned into a frown as I felt a shock of pain go down my back. I grabbed whatever was behind me and flipped it over my head to see it was the mother fucking bear.

I started to breathe heavily as I looked at Sally. She had a wide devilish smile planted on her face while she watched me fall backwards. I started to feel frost but before I closed my eyes I saw Sally 's Teddy bear wave and me. And the everything around me went dark.

***********

When I felt consciousness come back I didn't dare open my eye's in fear of what I'd see. So instead I listened to the voices that surrounded me.

"Is she alive Sally."

"Yes"

"Why didn't you finish her?"

"I was going to. When Beary stabbed her in the back I was ready to end it all when ..."

"What happened"

"I couldn't do it"

"Sally you know Slenderman won't like this one bit"

Silence filled the room. The only thing I heard was my own thoughts like who is this Slenderman and were am I? These questions pondered my mind until I heard a man say,

"I'll fix her up. Don't tell the boss though got it?"
That was the last I heard from the voices, I only then heard the sound of a door opening and closing. I then decided it was okay to open my eye's. when I did I saw no one but that son of a bitch bear.

"Shhh," he cooed while picking up a brick. I tired to move so I could throw the damn thing across the room, but I couldn't move. I was restrained from movement so I was forced to watch the bear threw the brick at my head, causing me to once again black out.
