Slenderman's POV

I looked at her in shock. I can't believe she would want to die. She was so young... and beautiful. No! What is wrong with me! I can't like her.  She's a disgusting human. I am Slenderman! I can't go soft. Besides, she will probably never date anyone, cause she is too weird.

I looked at her,  and was shocked to see the tears streaming down her face. I searched through her mind and found all the horrible thoughts I was thinking being repeated in her head. I opened my mouth to speak,  but she held her hand up to silence me.

"I knew that there would be no one out there to love me for who I am," she whispered. I immediately felt horrible. Pity flowed through me for this young girl. Claire looked at me and hissed "I don't need your pity. I will just end it all like I should've done a long time ago."

With that said, she turned and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. I ran to the door, first knocking and listen. Jeff, who was dropped from my grasp, jumped out of the window and ran off into the woods.

I beat on the door. "Claire! Let me in dammit! I didn't mean what I said!" I heard water running and something make a big splash in it. I busted through the door and saw a horrific scene. There was Claire, laying in the bathtub full of bloody water. There were cuts on her wrist and neck. I carefully lifted her up and lightly stepped out the window,  with the girl I hurt in my arms.

I teleported to the Slender Mansion, where I ran inside with Claire in my arms. I passed by Dr. Smiley and Eyeless Jack, who followed me without a word. I walked into the infirmary, and placed her on the bed. I looked at her and knew that she could be saved...

*Time Skip*

I paced back and forth beside Claire's bed. Eyeless Jack, Dr. Smiley, and I were able to save her. Along with keeping her human. The only thing was it put her in a deep sleep,  and she was supposed to wake up today.

I heard her stir in her bed,  and I turned around, walking over to her bed when she sat up. Claire looked over at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen. It broke my heart, knowing I was the one who put her in this situation.

I sat down on the edge of the bed. "Child," I said. "I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you. I didn't mean to be such an asshole to you." I looked over at her. "But I wonder, child, how long have you been able to read minds?"

She thought for a moment before she shrugged. "Since I was a little kid, I guess." Claire then looked at me, then she did something that surprised me. She leaned down into my chest and started to cry quietly.

I quickly wrapped my arms around her,  rocking her back and forth, and whispering consoling words to her. After a while, she fell asleep in my arms, her last words being "I want to forgive you, but you hurt me. I need time to forgive you Slendy."

I nodded, hurt that she couldn't forgive me right away. I sighed and took her to my room. I laid her on one side of the bed. I then  undressed and laid down beside her. "Goodnight Claire." I whispered, kissing her softly on the cheek. I snuggled down into the blankets, and fell into a deep sleep.
