Richard sat alone in the old abandoned cabin, looking at a small piece of paper on the floor which read "HELP ME" on it. Richard picked the piece of paper up and looked at it.

"Why do I follow HIS orders?" he said aloud to himself, he was feeling huge amounts of regret, becoming a proxy to the Slender Man, killing innocent people. Richard had no idea why he even listens to the Slender Man. He was crying loudly now, but he suddenly stopped, when he heard a shriek outside the front door. He slowly got up off the floor, walked over to the door, and opened it slowly, and he was horrified.

Right outside the door, standing right there was a tall dark shadowy figure, it had sharp claws and antlers on its head, and Richard knew who it was. The tall figure stepped out of the darkness and into the light and it was revealed to be a monster, it was one of The Rake's creations, it had blue skin and sharp claws, and two big antlers on its head, as well as sharp teeth, red eyes and ripped clothes, it was Dan.

"How? The Rake was killed!" Richard thought, but then he saw something in the trees behind Dan, it was another tall figure, but this one was completely MADE of darkness, it looked like a bunch of black smoke in the shape of The Rake. Somehow, The Rake came back after getting killed by the Slender Man, and now they were here for Richard.

Richard slammed the door closed on the two creatures' faces and ran to the corner of the room, he looked around looking for a way out, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be a slave anymore. He looked up at the ceiling, noticing a hole with moonlight shining through. Richard ran over to a table and dragged it over to the corner, he climbed onto the table.

He jumped up and reached for the hole and he grabbed the side with his right hand, he tried to climb up there and he got up mostly, he just had to get his legs through, he raised one leg up slowly and lifted it and got it over onto the roof. He then slowly tried to lift his other leg and a piece of his pants got stuck on some part of the roof, and he was stuck, as Dan and The Rake clawed at the door together, until they broke through.

They ran into the small cabin and Dan jumped on the table and jumped up at Richard, and luckily for Richard, he got his foot free and he fell off the roof as Dan reached for Richard, failing and falling back onto the table, snapping it in half as The Rake ran out the front door and ran around the side of the house as Richard got up, he looked behind him and saw The Rake right there crawling towards him fast. Richard quickly turned back around and ran past some trees, he ran for a while as The Rake's shadow chased him.

Richard continued running before his eyes caught something. There was a big fence right in front of him. Richard jumped up as high as he was allowed to, and he grabbed onto the top of the fence and quickly crawled over as The Rake slowed down and still bumped into the fence hard, and he fell to the ground.

Richard jumped over the top of the fence and landed on the ground. He was about to continue running, but his jacket got caught on the fence and he couldn't get it free, he then remembered that he kept a sharpened stick in his pocket. He pulled the sharpened stick out of his pocket and he cut part of his jacket off, leaving it stuck to the fence as he dropped the stick and ran away as The Rake and Dan both climbed the fence, jumped over and chased Richard down as he ran through the dark entrance of the forest. He looked around for a bit before continuing down the road leading back towards the city.

He ran and ran until he bumped into something. He looked up and saw another one of The Rake's creations. This one also had blue tinted skin like Dan, and this one had a beard and only one of his eyes was glowing, the other one was slashed open like it was cut with a knife. This one's clothes were ripped too and his eye glowed yellow instead of red.

He looked to be 50 years old and he didn't have sharp claws like the other two. This one also had big antlers like the other two. Richard backed up slowly as this new monster got closer. Richard quickly ran past it as it shrieked loudly and began to chase him.

Later...

Richard ran into a small neighborhood and sprinted through the dark street. He quickly looked around wondering what to do when he noticed a police officer putting some guy in a police car, Richard quickly ran over to the officer and swiped the gun out of his hands, stealing it, he pulled the guy out of the car and got in the driver's seat, starting the car up and quickly driving away as The Rake and the others tore the two people apart, eating them.

Richard drove really bad because he never drove a car before. He rolled down the window and pointed his gun out and shot at the monsters, hitting Dan in the chest first, and then the one-eyed one, and finally he shot at The Rake, but it didn't work, the monster was made of darkness, The Rake was out of his body, as a spirit. The Rake quickly chased the car, running right next to it and hitting it in the side, before flipping it over with his demon powers, the car fell over easily and the front window broke, glass shards went into Richard's shoulder and left knee.

Richard cried loudly as he crawled through the broken glass shards and climbed out the passenger side door, he got up slowly as The Rake climbed on top of the car when Richard got an idea. He aimed at the gas tank of the car and pulled the trigger, and instantly, the car blew up loudly, sending Richard flying back onto someone's lawn as the car exploded, one of the doors went through a window in a house, and one of the tires rolled across the street whilst on fire.

Richard was in unbelievable pain as his ears rung when he got a horrible headache, Richard grabbed at the grass and pulled himself up, and the ringing in his ears slowed down and faded away as Richard sat there on the sidewalk and looked at the destroyed car. The Rake was nowhere in sight, and Richard was left sitting there. He knew what he had to do next...
