( E.J's P.O.V)

I open my eyes to shouting outside my tent. I groan, putting my regular clothes on and put my mask over my face. I unzip my tent, seeing Toby in a panic, his phone up to his ear and it's ringing. Toby yells in annoyance, turning his phone off. " He won't pick up!" Toby yells, BEN pokes his head out of Jeff's tent. His face was pale, Toby looks to him. BEN steps out, holding Jeff's phone, five missed calls were on it. BEN was holding something behind his back. " What else did you find?" I ask, pointing to his arm. BEN sighs, holding out Jeff's knife and a note. I snatch the letter and the knife from BEN, reading the note.

Dear Slender-Man....

You should have just left my family alone. Now I finally have my son back, dare to come and fight me? Don't bother. He's right where he needs to be, ruling beside me. Don't send your emo kids for him or their heads will hang on your pathetic mansion. You've been warned

-Zalgo

I feel my eyes leak black tears, Jeffy was gone. Zalgo has him. Toby snatches the letter out of my hand. Toby reads it, then falls to the ground, crying. " Not again...not again!!" Toby screams while sobbing violently. I look to BEN, who was fighting tears. " W-we need to t-t-tell Slender-Man!" Toby says, I nod. " He needs to explain everything." I growl, grabbing my bag. I grab the keys from where Toby tossed them in anger and start the car. BEN quickly grabs and puts the tents away and sits in the passenger seat. Toby lays in the back seat, it's a long ride so he'll probably sleep. As we drive, I keep remembering all the fun we had until this. I think back to the last thing Jeff had said to me:

" We all can't live until we've died a little."

Those words whirled around my head like angry bees trying to protect their hive. He seemed so sad when he said that but tried to hide it behind his adorable smiles. My grip tightens on the wheel, I sniffle. BEN and Toby are asleep, which is good. They need sleep after everything that just went down. But still, it's too quiet even for me. Oh what i'd give to hear Jeff's music. After what seemed like a century of driving, I pull up into the driveway of the mansion. Masky was on the porch smoking, his mask covering his eyes. I turn the car off, grab the note from the back seat, and get out. I slam the door roughly, Masky jumps, almost dropping his cigarette. " Jesus what happened?!" Masky asks, I glare at him through my mask.

" Where. Is. Slender-Man?" I growl, Masky stutters out ' Office'. I nod, thanking him and go inside. I open the front door, slamming it. I can't control it! I get like this when i'm angry. I take a quick glance at the window, seeing Toby and BEN getting out. I sigh sharply, and walk to Slender's office. I don't even dare to knock, I swing open the door. Slender-Man turns to me. " What's wrong Jack?" Slender-Man asks. I hold up the note, " This fucking happened!!" Slender takes the note, reading it. He covers where his mouth would be. " No...no...he..Jeffrey..." Slender-Man panics, which only sets me off. I take the note from his, he looks at me in shock and sadness. " What did that fucker mean by 'son'?!" I question, Slender-Man sighs.

" Jeffrey and Liu are step brothers. Zalgo killed Liu's real father because Liu's mother, Margret loved Zalgo. Zalgo took Liu's fathers place, and had Jeffrey with Margret. They were a family with a dirty secret for 13 years until I found him and told him I was going to kill them all. He panicked and moved them, two weeks later Jeffrey went insane and killed everyone. But in reality, Liu and Zalgo lived and Jeffrey's mother died. I found out and took Jeff in, when Zalgo found out he vowed he would steal him back."

I shake my head in disbelief, and leave his office in a rage. I hold up the note, Jane grabs it and starts reading it out loud. When she finishes, I start explaining what Slender-Man just told me. After, Liu looked at me in disbelief. I hear Slender-Man walk in. I stomp up the stairs, I really wish we hadn't gone. I lock my door, sliding down the cold wood. I move my mask to the side of my head, black inky tears run down my cheeks and stain my hoodie and floor.

Where is my killer?
