My heart thumped loudly against my chest as I twitched and tried to forget the image of the shadow figure. Nothing is working...
Toby came home a few minutes ago. I'm glad he didn't see the figure. I wonder...if he'll tell my about Sally. Maybe I could compare the Sally he plays with to the Sally I've read about...
"Toby, come here." I say as I twitch and stand up from the couch. He comes down the stairs and sits on the couch. I smile and sit down next to him. "Tobias," he stiffens. "Can you tell me about Sally?" I ask as he puts his hands together and looks down.
"Well, she lives with her family," well, that defiantly can't be the Sally I've read about. She's dead. "Her step-father, Slenderman, is very nice. And her best friend, Ben is too! He plays video games with me!" He says enthusiastically as I widen my eyes in fear. T-they're real...
"T-Tobias...tell me more about her family," I say as I sit next to him and pull him into my side. He snuggles up next to me and I smile. He's not grown up yet, I still have my baby...
"Well, her friends, Jeff, Eternity, Lost Silver, Dark Link, Laugjing Jack, Suicide Sadie, and all the other are really nice. I've met them too. Though, Laughing Jack scares me a little, I still love hanging out with them." He says truthfully as I sigh shakily and look down. I can let him be around them, they might hurt him. And Slender...I can't risk him taking my child...
"Tobias...don't go around Slender. Any of the other you can go around, but not Slenderman. Okay?"
"Alright, mom." He says as he gets up and walks to his room. Whoa...I've never had a serious talk like that to him before...
Sighing, I stand and walk to the kitchen. I'm sure Toby is hungry, so I'll make some of his favorites.

I put the spaghetti on each of our plates then put the garlic bread on. The smell of delicious food fills my senses and I sigh happily. I hurriedly make my way to the dining room and lay the plates on the table cloths.
"Toby, dinner is ready!" I call as my phone buzzes. I watch as he comes downstairs and finally pick my phone up.
You made a mistake of spying on us-S
Wha-oh...n-no. Not Sally...how did she get my phone number, anyway?
I shiver before sitting down at the table and deleting the text. I clamp my eyes shut before opening them again and sighing. Toby sits next to me as he eats his spaghetti; completely obvious to the fact that he could be killed by his best friend.
I shake the thoughts from my mind before picking up my fork and dishing a spoonful of spaghetti into my mouth.
