Misery Rose

Chapter Seven: The Consequences

At this, Jeff decided it was a wonderful time to attempt to fuck around. "You wouldn't be able to punish any of us. We're fuckin' stronger than you." I growled at him, and Liz was furious. Liz began to override my control, as her emotions were resonating with my own, only fueling her anger. We glared at Slenderman, our eyes now a deep shade of blue. "We recommend that you get your dog under control, Slender. Unless, perhaps, he is of no use to you?" Slenderman looked puzzled for a moment, before realizing that Liz was at the surface. He shakes his head. "Calm yourself, child." We growled at this, and in a fit of rage, pounced at Slenderman. "Stop calling me a fucking child!" I tried to throw punches at him, but he tossed me aside as if I was a rag doll. I landed in the wall with a 'Thud', and went limp. '...I can't do anything, Liz. We're weak...he's right...' This only enraged her more, yet...she left me. Alone, as my eyes returned to their dull, hazel color. "Maybe you're right, Jeffrey...maybe I'm not...but my dear friend is..." I muttered, tears falling. 

"Sally...I promise I'll come back. I'm sorry for messing this up for you. Today was supposed to be a good day." I kneeled by Sally, giving her a soft smile, and giving her a kiss on the forehead. I stood back up and walked over to the front doors, and reached out to open the handle, but turned towards Slenderman for a moment. "...You should know where to find me, Sir..." With that, I left, and made my way towards the darker part of the woods. It wasn't long after that I found a hallowed out tree, and I sighed in relief. I squeezed my way into the hallowed out tree, and began to cry. "Why can't I fit in? Why can't I just...control it, and fucking listen?!" I shuddered, and pulled out a razor blade from my left boot. As I was about to slice into my "skin", I heard a twig snap and my head snapped towards the sound, only to see two of the four Slenderbrothers. 

'Dammit. What do they want?' I sighed, and tucked my razor blade back into its hiding spot, before looking up at them. 'Oh, great. One of them is the fucking rapist.' I growled, and turned my attention to Slenderman. "What do you need, Sir?" He seemed to be rather annoyed, which, to be honest, I found quite amusing. "You need to head back shortly. Sally has become rather worried, and it is not safe out here at night." I raised a brow questioningly at Slenderman. "Sir, that is understandable. But..." My eyes flickered over to Sexual Offenderman. "Why did he have to come with you?" I whined, still a tad bit furious at today's events. Sexual Offenderman seemed to smirk, and state something, as I ignored him. Slenderman sighed in annoyance, and only motioned for me to grab his hand once more. As I reluctantly agreed, and took hold of his hand, I absentmindedly brushed my forefinger over the edge of one of my razor blades, and closed my eyes, thinking about what my plan was. ...My plan...what was it, again? 

'To lead a life of simplicity, and protect those you love, such as Katherine and Emery,' Liz told me, in annoyance. I mentally flipped her off, and grinned at myself. "Slenderman?" I looked up at him, a look of hope in my eyes. "What, Samantha?" I pursed my lips, unhappy that he used my real name, before I brushed it off hesitantly, and smiled again. "So...I was, um...wondering...if I could maybe, um...bring my girlfriend to come live with me?" "Absolutely not, Samantha! The only way that a mortal could possibly live in this place is if their sanity is stripped away forcefully, and I am sure that is a pain that you do not wish upon her." I stopped walking forwards, and began to laugh, doubling over because of how he thinks of me. "Slenderman, I am afraid you are incorrect. I love Emery, and would give the world for her, however, I am rather selfish myself, and will do anything to keep those I love near me, unless there is no possible way to do so." 

He seemed to but nod at my response, and I began to poke him. "Can I, then?" He hesitates for a moment, before nodding to my request. "I will not be responsible for anything that happens to her here, though, Samantha. That will be your job." I nodded in glee, ready to fetch Emery and bring her to a life of freedom. "When can I get her, Sir?" "Whenever you would like, Samantha. It must be after you apologize to everyone, and after dinner. You will need to explain why this is going to happen to everyone." I groan in annoyance. "Fine..." Suddenly, we teleported in front of the mansion, and I stumbled forwards a bit, before regaining my balance. As we headed inside, Liz seemed to come back to the surface a bit, and was still infuriated with Jeff. As I search for Jeff, I put a finger up, motioning for Slender to give me a moment before I would do as I had been instructed. I peeked into the kitchen, only to have a knife thrown at me. I growled furiously. "Fuck you Jeffrey!" I shrieked, before sighing and heading back into the living room, only to see Slender is no longer there.
