The Nightmares

Chapter 11 - The Second Nightmare

What happened?

Were am I?

How did I get here?

These were the questions floating around in my head when I stood up and took a look around.

A forest.

It looked an awful lot like Stenderman's Forest, which didn't make me feel any better.

"Hello?" I called out to no one in particular.

I put my hands in front of me when I walked because it was pitch black and I didn't have a flashlight.

"Please tell me that Slenderman is not out here," and almost on que, I heard static.

"Oh, you've got to be f**king kidding me!"

I ran blindly through the forest, leaves and branches scratching my face in the processes.

I only slowed down when I didn't hear the static anymore.

I tripped over something, causing me to scrap my face on the gravel walkway. I felt blood run down my face. I put my hand up to my forehead where it hurt the most. Yep, there was a deep cut there, just like I thought.

I looked behind me to see a black object with a glass top.

A flashlight.

"Where were you five minutes ago?"

I stood up, grabbed the flashlight and turned it on.

The batteries were running low, probably enough left for ten minutes.

Not really helpful for my part.

I walked through the woods, following the path.

I've played Slenderman's Forest before and the only way to beat the game is to collect all eight notes.

"Or I die," I heard myself saying.

"I'd sat it'd be the second one."

I nearly dropped the flashlight.

"W-w-who's t-there?" I called out to the person who had talked to me.

"Why, I am, Miss Jessy," I shined the flashlight towards were I heard the strange voice come from, but all I saw were shadows.

Then suddenly a tall figure walked out of the shadows. I then heard static.

"F**k! I can't move!" I yelled when I realized my feet were planted to the ground and I couldn't turn my head away from the tall figure.

The static got louder the closer he got to me.

"I have that effect on people," once I was able to get a good look at him, my jaw dropped.

The figure was about eight feet tall with a blank, bald face and long, black arms coming out of his back.

"S-stay away f-from me!" I threw the flashlight at Slendy, not doing anything except taking away my vision.

I was blind.

I felt something cold and thick wrap around my neck and it started to strangle me. I fought to get in the last breath of air, just one breath of air. That was hard to do since I couldn't even move my arms anymore.

"Game over."

Static filled my ears as the only thing I saw was Slender's blank face.

---------------------------------------------

I woke up, soaking wet.

I was...outside?

I was standing in the woods that were behind my house.

It was raining so I was soaked from head to toe.

I had a flashlight in my hand and a terrible ringing in my ears.

I was sleepwalking.

"What the hell? I don't sleepwalk," my voice was scratchy and rough.

My throat also hurt badly.

I started walking back to my house, I couldn't help but look behind me every few seconds to make sure Slendy wasn't following me.

When I got inside I looked at the clock and realized that it was only 12:30.

"It feels like morning," I heard myself saying.

I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep so I took a long, hot shower.

There were leaves and branches tangled up in my hair. It took me half an hour to comb it all out.

Such fun.

But when I got out and looked in the mirror, I scared myself.

My face was scratched and scrapped. I had a cut on my forehead that was still bleeding even after the shower. Just like in the dream.

But what scared me the most was my neck.

I had a large red mark on my neck from were Slenderman strangled me.

Was it real?

Had that really happened?

I'm not really sure I want to know the answer to that question.
