The red truck slowly drove up to the entrance to the forest, the sounds of crickets chirping and an owl hooting. The three kids: Brian, Dave, and Cody all got out of the truck that Cody borrowed from his dad, flashlights in each of their hands. They all decided to ghost-hunt in the forest on the outskirts of town. One of them was using one of those phony "Ghost Detector" apps on his iPhone 5. They all stepped into the forest looking around with their flashlights.
They all heard the stories about what happened to people who came to that forest, how they go missing one day and the next day they're found impaled on tree branches. And how if anyone ever made it out alive, they would never be the same again.
Just a bunch of stuff like that. Cody didn't believe any of that stuff, but still, stories like those always send chills down his spine.
The three kids walked into the dark forest, using their flashlights to look around. Cody was telling Dave about some ghost stories about this forest, stuff like, "The Slenderman" "The Rake" all those stories. Dave was pretty creeped out by this point, he was paranoid now, looking behind him every few seconds. Cody bumped into Brian while walking.
And he yelled out "Ow!" but then he saw that Brian was looking at something, Cody looked too and saw that it was a tree, much much bigger than the other ones, this one was as tall as a house and had large, long branches which looked like arms ready to snatch them and take them away forever.
A chill ran up Cody's spine when he saw the large tree, soon Dave saw it too, and he too was creeped out. Brian slowly walked over past the big tree and continued through the forest, and Cody followed close behind, but Dave noticed something on the tree, there was something taped to it, it was a note, it looked like it has been around for centuries because the paper was turning yellow. Dave picked the note up and it said "ALWAYS WATCHES NO EYES"
Dave looked at this mysterious note, his mind going back to the story of The Slender Man, a tall thin man, about 10 feet tall wearing a black suit, dark as night, with pale skin, and no facial features, as well as tentacles that protruded from its back from time to time.
Dave looked around him, noticing he was left behind by Brian and Cody, so he dropped the note and quickly followed them yelling out "Hey! Wait for me!" When he caught up to them he was panting and he told them what he found and they assumed that it was probably someone playing a trick.
The kids continued walking down the dark path, Cody was still telling stories to Dave while Brian was getting a little annoyed. That's when they came across a blue car, a blue car that was crashed into one of the tall trees, the car's front was completely destroyed and the engine was crushed, all the windows on the car looked like someone broke them, and there was a note attached to the car, this note read "HELP ME" in big black letters.
The kids began to get more scared at that point, and Dave just wanted to go home, but he wanted to look cool for his friends, so he decided to stay. "This is fuckin' crazy," Cody said. "Yeah, I wonder what happened?" Brian replied. "May-Maybe we should get moving?" Dave interrupted.
They all continued down the dark path, the wind began to slow down now as they continued deeper and deeper into the forest, and somehow it got a bit darker.
The whole time, Dave could feel something watching him. Like, the trees had eyes, and they could see their every move. Dave got chills going up his spine at that moment. The trees already looked like they had arms. It felt, eerie.
Cody and his friends continued through, talking to each other along the way when Cody heard some kind of rustling in the bushes, he turned to the bushes and shined his light at them, Dave and Brian turned around, and Brian asked: "What are you looking at?"
"I heard something in those bushes," Cody whispered to the other two kids. "I- Come on, let's just get going," Cody said before quickly turning around and walking down the path with Brian and Dave. It wasn't long before Cody heard rustling in bushes again, he turned around and still saw nothing, he started speed-walking now.
LATER...
The three kids came across another note, this one was on the ground in front of them, and it said "CAN'T RUN"
Once Brian read that one something came out of the bushes and pounced on him, pinning him down. It was a boy wearing an orange jacket and blue jeans. He was holding a rock up above his head, he quickly brought it down and bashed Brian's head in as Cody and Dave ran away, Richard turned to the other two kids as they ran, and he quickly followed them running quickly. He was right behind Cody, so he jumped on top of him, and he bashed his head in now.
Dave was running and running and he almost got back to the truck, but something appeared in front of him, it was tall, thin man wearing a black suit and tie, his fingers were huge and long, and tentacles came out of his back wiggling around, and the scariest part, he had no facial features what-so-ever. Just smoothness where the face should be, pale skin.
Dave looked up at him in fear, the more he looked, he began to hear a static-like sound, and he began to see static, getting thicker and thicker, before Dave's soul was taken away by the Slender Man. His soul literally flew out of his body. and Dave's whole body started to morph into something smaller until his whole body was just another one of those notes, this one said "HELP ME" just like the last one from that crashed car...
One of the Slenderman's large tentacles came out and grabbed the page, hanging it on a nearby tree, before the Slender Man disappeared, and Richard just stood there, wondering what to do next.
