I continued to sit with the creepypastas at the long table; finishing the last of my waffles. After eating twelve whole waffles to myself I was absolutely stuffed; I guess I hadn't realized how hungry I truly had been, it's been quite some time since I've had a fairly sustaining and filling meal that I'm surprised I was able to function as well as I had been since my arrival at the mansion earlier today.

Smiling and content, I went on with making small talk with some of the others; yearning to learn more about those I'd be living with from here on out. Once I arrived here, I knew there would be no turning back; not that I really had a place to go back to.

"So..." I began, "What do you like to do for fun around here Killing Kate?"

Killing Kate laughed. "Get drunk and play video games of course."

I chucked, "Sounds legit. How about you Ally? What do you like to do for fun?"

"I play outside or draw." Nightmare Ally replied.

I perked up at the mention of playing outside. "I love to draw and play outside too." I said to her. "It's quite fun to play outside, as long as it's not stupidly humid out."

"Yeah... I don't like it when it gets too hot out, but playing outside is still fun."

"Oh I agree one hundred percent Ally," I said with a small laugh. "The humidity just makes my hair go all frizzy and it takes me hours to get my hair tamed again. I like my hair smooth and silky thank you very much." I paused, laughing despite of myself. I sounded rather silly to be concerned about my hairstyle but alas it is what it is, and it's the truth.

I took one last look around the table before rising to my feet; reaching my arms up over my head for a good stretch. Once again I had found myself sitting for far too long and now had to deal with numb bum; I really should be more observant of time, not that I can read a clock anyway.

I can only read digital, so I kind of stare at analog ones just to try and figure out what the time is. I hope Clockwork never notices, because I've caught myself a few times staring at the clock face in her eye just to figure out the time it says.

Is that weird? I hope it's not weird... It's probably weird.

"Well guys, I think I'm going to go for a walk. Thank you for dinner."

I excused myself from the table, taking my plate into the kitchen to wash and put away before heading outside. After sitting indoors for quite some time, some fresh air was bound to do me some good. I shut the door behind me, taking a few steps forward before breathing deeply, catching the scent of the pond nearby.

It was good to be outside.

I made my way down the stairs that descended from the patio down to the yard, feeling my bones cracking and shifting within my body as I transformed; taking on the body of a wolf. This was one of my favorite forms to be in, one that felt free and unchained. I wandered around outside, making my way towards the pond; the sun had disappeared long ago and the moon was now high in the sky, cascading its beautiful glow across the water.

That's when I heard his warning. Slenderman was calling to me, but how? He was nowhere in sight.

"Watch out for the rake!" Slenderman warned, "He comes out at night!"

I shook my head, losing myself deep in thought; Aw crap! I forgot about the Rake... I continued to walk about the yard, lost in my own world. Oblivious to my surroundings, with my nose to the ground, I bumped into someone head first. It's a child. I blinked a few times and sneezed, followed by a snort.

"I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention." I admitted sheepishly.

"That's ok, I wasn't paying attention either." Said the child, "Who are you?"
