"Slenderman."

"How?" I asked. Staring at him with disbelief.

"Same way he did with you. He stalked me, got into my head and told me to kill people. He saved me from the fire. He gave me everything I have now. A home, a family, and friends," he walked out of the room. "Give him time. He'll make it up to you," then he left. I stood in the middle of the room. I left my bags alone being to lazy to unpack, well I couldnt either. I walked around downstairs and seen BEN again, he was sitting on the couch playing a game on the giant tv I failed to notice when I first got here.

"Hello," he said pausing his game. I never noticed how much he looked like Link from The Legend of Zelda, sort of, he had black eyes with red pupils and he seemed to be crying blood.

"Hi," I said staring at the tv.

"Have a seat. I'm just playing a game," he patted the spot next to him. I sat down not wanting to be mean. He continued playing and may I say he was great at the game. I didnt know what the game was, but he was amazing at it.

"How did you get here?" I asked out of pure curiosity.

"I haunted a game. Pretty hard to explain, just google 'Ben drowned creepypasta backstory.' You'll probably find it there," he causally said as if I had a phone with me.

"I dont have a phone to look it up on," he stopped playing.

"Did Slenderman give you his dumb rule of no cell phones?" He looked at me. I nodded. "I have some you can choose from. Not the best but, they'll entertain you."

"Thanks," I said. Toby walked down the stairs. "Hello," I said getting up from the couch.

"H-hello," he said standing in front of me. "I see you've m-met BEN," he looked behind me. I nodded. "Cool. I w-wanna show y-you something," he grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside. The mansion seemed way smaller out here than the inside. He dragged me through the forest and dense woods. We hit a giant clear patch. Destroyed roads and houses stood. The breeze blowing by. "This is how he stalked you. You find your prey and follow them, learn their every move. Then you teleport to their world and then buh-bye," he started walking towards a house. Unrecognizable with all the decay. He broke a window and climbed in. I followed not wanting to be in the open. The inside of the house was living and music was heard very faintly. The smell of food and the sounds of sobs. I followed the sobbing. I walked into a room. A woman was on the floor holding something glitched out.

"Who's house are we in?" I asked looking around.

"Dont you recognize it?" Toby asked. I then looked around the room. My matress lay in the corner my desk was just how it was when I left. My window wide open to the view of the forest.

"Mom?" It clicked. I was in my room, mom was sobbing cause I left. "What's wrong? I'm right here!" I screamed sitting next to her.

"She can't hear you," Toby said. "She'll move on."

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked tears still welling in my eyes. He shrugged. He then walked out of the room. I got up and followed.

"Let's go to your school," he said opening the door. The door lead to the entrance of the school. Beaten up cop cars surrounded the front. Some lights still flashing. I looked back to see the house one more time, but there was nothing. I looked at the school. I walked inside. Blood stained everything. You couldnt see past the blood.

"I did this," I said proudly. I walked through the halls. Decayed bodies lay all around. I forgot how many I killed. I walked over the bodies. Sobs came from every direction. Clicking and clacking could be heard over and over again as well.

"Really? No help?" Toby asked doubt in his voice.

"Yes. And lied straight to the police about it as well," I walked to the office. Less bodies lay on the floor. But there was more blood. I beat everyone here relentlessly. I walked to the principal's office. Scattered broken bones lay on the floor. A fractured skull lay in the pile of bones. "I did this too," I kicked the skull across the floor and walked all over the bones crunching every last one.

I walked out of the office. Toby moved out of the way. I marched to the first teacher. His bones still lay by the board. The boards scattered across the floor. Axe marks clear in the wall.

"No way. Someone had to help you," I shook my head.

"No one helped. Other than the little voice in my head that kept saying more! More! More!" I laughed just as the voice did. "No one helped me. It was the beginning of the day, everyone didnt know what to do. They tried to run, but I was there, waiting, listening. Everyone that came into the hall died. I killed everyone," I said smiling.

Toby went silent. He grabbed my wrist and we left. We walked back to the mansion. He was still holding my wrist as we walked through the woods. His grasp was tight, but it didnt hurt. He let go as we walked into the mansion.

"Why did you hold my wrist the whole time?" I asked standing in the doorway.

"I d-didnt want you to go back," he said walking off.

"Ok."

I walked up to my room. I looked out the window. The world outside seemed grey and dark. The sun was coming up in the other world. I wonder why he walked so fast? I laid in the middle of the floor. I fell asleep sometime after light came in through the window. The house seemed to creak more when the light came in. I was too tired to care. I just fell asleep.
