Slender Man

II

Something tickles my nose making my hand fly to my face. I gasp when i feel something sticky on my palm.

"Oh my god, you fuckers!" I gasp

Laughter fills the room, Samantha , Jason and Seth are standing above me laughing like there's no tomorrow. I sock Jason in the chest getting up from my comfortable bed.

"Ow." He pouts.

"This is disgusting."

"You overslept." Sam tells me giggling still. "come on, hurry and get ready we have a long drive."

After taking a quick warm shower i brush my long dark brown hair, putting on my outfit. I put on light makeup before grabbing my bags and heading down stairs to where everyone else is.

"Ready?" Ethan asks

I nod and he helps me grab my things. I smile following behind. We get in the car ready for the long journey ahead of us.

The car is turned on by Ethan and we drive off. I pull out my earphones, putting on the song 'All i want by Ellie goulding'.

I love her music, she's amazing. My head lays on the window as i stare out at the blue sky. The clouds make different shapes, like one being a turtle, the other looking like a bunny.

My eyes slowly close, falling asleep to the soft music playing in my ears.

I'm shaken awake by Seth "We're at the gas station, want anything?" He asks.

"No thanks. Is there a bathroom?"

"Yeah,"

I nod opening the car door, it's dark outside and it's cold out. I look at my phone to see where we are.

5 more hours away, we're in Indiana. I grumble walking inside the small building.

"Excuse me, where's the bathroom?" I ask the guy at the register.

He points his long finger in the back, i nod walking through the aisles until i find the bathroom. I open the doors scrunching my nose in disgust. I find a stall not wanting to sit down on the toilet seat. I pull my pants down squatting, no way am i sitting on this.

I finish my business before washing my hands, i look above me to see myself in the mirror but instead i see a paper. It says 'Help Me'.

I narrow my eyes snatching the paper from the mirror. I make my out the bathroom back to the car.

"You guys are asses." I growl shoving the paper in Jason's chest.

"What?" He looks at the paper then looks at me "We didn't do this."

"Yeah sure, you guys just won't leave me alone. That isn't funny."

"Scar," Seth frowns "We really didn't do that."

I look at the both of them gulping "then who did? It wasn't in the bathroom when i went in there."

"Ethan, did you do this?" Seth asks handing him the paper when he gets in the car.

"No?" He stares at it for a moment before speaking "That's creepy though," He says starting the car and starting to drive again "It looks like that one game.."

"What game?" I ask

"That game, what's it called? It's that one scary game. With that tall slender guy. Slender Man."

"The game is called Slender Man?"

"Yeah, but it's probably some joke. It's just a myth." He shrugs.

"So there's a story?" Sam asks feeling interested in the topic.

"There's a story to every myth." He smiles.

Jason takes out his phone typing in something "Got it," He smirks "are you guys ready for a bone chilling tale?"

"The Slender Man is a supernatural creature that is described as appearing as a normal human being but he is described as being 8 feet tall and he has vectors or extra appendages that are described to be as sharp as swords. The creature is known to stalk humans and cause many disappearances. He is described as a shadow creature that has missing a face. The creature fits into many mythologies in legends from nations such as germany and celts which brings up the possibility that he could be real. In mythology he was actually trying to save you from a painful death by taking you to the under world early."

"That's not a story." Seth sighs.

"I can see that, but we know who he is right?" He says shutting off his phone.

I didn't realize i was shaking until i looked down at my hands. I've never heard of this Slender Man and i feel as if i'm being watched. By him. But it's a myth right? He's not real. He can't be real. No one can have no face, or can be 8 feet tall without dying right? Isn't that unormal? So it's physically impossible.

I snuggle up by the window wanting to go back to sleep and forget about the stupid story. It's not real so why am i afraid? I close my eyes sighing. He's not real.
