A Fate Worse Than Death

A Fate Worse Than Death 10

The Blood On The Wall
(All throughout the house lay the bodies of the police and SWAT officers strewn about in Slender's twisted image . As he looks around one last time at his work he carries on up the stairs to bring it to a completion . As he ascends up he morphs back into Thomas . Once up the stairs Thomas follows the sounds of weeping . It is there he sees Rachel's mother clutching the body of her decapitated husband . Mourning loudly.  As Thomas witnesses this he can't help but want to grin at the efficiency of his work. Now the entire house is filled with the agony of trapped prey ... He steps over her and is behind the bed does he see Rachel and her brother cuddled together crying . As Rachel looks up and notices him she rises and begins to speak.)
Look at this Thomas . Look at what you've done . Is this what your mother would have wanted ? Is this ok to you? You killed Mark your best friend and your aunt Thomas... How could yo..(Suddenly Thomas grabs her wrists ).
Shut up! They all deserved it this was Mark's fault that traitor . No soon before they had even claimed to had put me in the ground he already was making plans with you. He never cared just like my aunt .
How could you say that Thomas? We loved you . I still love you and I know deep down your better than this . Your no animal !
(Slender Man in his head begins to speak saying..I've heard enough of this kill kill kill her!.. Thomas begins to drown out Slender Man in his head and focuses on Rachel)
Thomas I love you.
Love me ?
Yes I do !
If you loved me why were you and Mark hugging in the woods ? I saw you and don't you lie ?!
We were friends Mark and I needed that I've never given you a reason to think I'd ever try and ...
(As Rachel tries to reason with him Rachel's brother watches on horrified but her mother sees the switch blade Mark previously had and inches closer as Rachel and Thomas talk . .. Then suddenly Rachel's mother lunges forward thrusting the knife at Thomas but Slender Man quickly grabs Rachel's mother .) Thomas don't! Put my mother down please !..

(Thomas holding her up then glances briefly at Rachel as he fights to try and listen to both her and Slender Man . Then without warning Slender Man senses more police on their way soon and forces Thomas , unbeknownst to Rachel . To bite off the head of her mother ) There join your husband now ... Ah look at that they look like twins.  They say after you die you favor one another . Or did I get that.. never mind now where were we ?
(It is then Rachel confronts slender man standing in front of her brother who utters the words That's the tall man that kept trying to play with me in the woods Rachel !
Ah yes hello Jacob given the time I'd just as soon eaten you too. Shame I can't give you a proper death . But see I have to go now . I don't feel like continuing to slaughter these meat sacks with guns I have far more enjoying prey to tackle and hunt. ..
(Before Slender Man could leave though . Thomas forces him to transform back so he could try and apologize and console Rachel.  )
Rachel I'm...
Don't touch me ! Your a monster Thomas and if you leave with that thing you always will be .
Rachel I... I can't
Yes you can Thomas fight it and you can get rid of it ! He knows it!
(Thomas begins to struggle as he has a war going on in his mind as two minds fight go dominate one body . So much so that neither hears the officers storming into the house below as young Jacob peers out the window to see them . However Thomas throbs on the floor but then he stops moving .)
THOMAS?! Thomas ?! .. (Rachel shakes him and so suddenly as the police began to go up the stairs Thomas's eyes turn black as he grabs Rachel up by the throat and transforms into Slender Man again.) I told you boy what would happen if you didn't cooperate . Now I'll take control of your mind and your body and make you watch as I kill her in front of you ! (Thomas screams in their shared mind "Nooooooo!" As Slender Man consumes Rachel and Thomas agonizingly witnesses her screams and Jacob tries to run out of the room is caught by Slender man as he sobs. ) Oh I know its hard but theres no need crying over spilled blood . Besides you'll join her soon . (Just then Slender Man takes the young body and pulls him into the same darkness within him that Rachel herself was pulled into . Jacob then kicks and thrashes scraping the floor with his nails.  As they bloody as the tendrils wrapped around him begin to grow spikes and dig deeper into him . Just so suddenly the cops enter the room opening fire as Slender snatches Jacob in and roars in a powerful shriek. He then cuts off the leading officer's arm and uses it to shoot the others as he bursts through the window and flies off ... The remaining officers look out . As he dissipates into the air and Slender Man cheerfully, as he feels Thomas's mind broken inside of him. Slender Man goes on to say "AH no witnesses just like I like it." Before dissipating away.)
(Live News Montage :
Today authorities witnessed one of the brutalist scenes ever in the history of the suburbs of Port Richey . Authorities lay dead alongside the residents of the Everdean house . Also there was the body of Mark Anthony a close friend of Thomas Delaney and it is unreleased by police who murdered him alongside the dead officers. But it is believed to be the serial killer the masked "Slender Man " and perhaps the not so dead Thomas Delaney whose voice was apparently heard at the residence by witnesses.  Shortly after this grizzly event yet another took place just a few minutes later according to police as the bodies of Mark Anthony's parents lay massacred in there home and bodies were so badly mangled authorities say they were beyond recognition . Left splayed out in blood was this message taken by one of our reporters . Reading
"

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD .. WHO'S NEXT."
Authorities are refusing to answer anymore questions regarding this but promise to do a thorough investigation . All persons who may know anything please give a statement and a new curfew has been issued for the city as well as a heavy police presence.  If you see Thomas Delaney it is advised not to approach but to call the police....
( Now inside a diner where this news montage is being played the waitress speaks to Thomas.)
My goodness aren't people just horrible ? You never know what demons people are fighting on the inside. I tell you though , I believe that  boy is probably related to that killer somehow..
Maybe so ma'am (However just then she begins to ponder that he favors Thomas a bit but when she glances back down at him she sees a much different looking man .)
Is everything ok madame ?
Um yes sir it's just I thought ... Never mind what can I get you?
A coffee please .
Coming right up...(Waitress exits the dining area)
Ya know Thomas I can do many things besides just kill .
(As Thomas glances in mirror he notices his appearance changed to a red haired ginger .)
Holy shit!
Pipe down boy . Hurry up and drink up and let's get out of here .
(Suddenly  the waitress reemerges with the coffee and lays it out for for him .)
Enjoy sir!
Thank you .( Thomas begins to sip it but Slender teleports them out uttering the words "Too Late"!...  They arrive on a rooftop in downtown Tampa Florida. )
You know some of us have to eat ?
Why is that Thomas I've already eaten enough for the both of us . As long as you have me you won't need food or drink for that matter.
Doesn't mean I don't want them .
Needs come before wants now boy.
You sound like my... never mind.
Don't start with that again they are all dead ! It's time to move on you should be use to the grieving ya know with the whole dead paren... You know what never mind...
(As Thomas stood there on the rooftop. He peers out onto the rainy metropolitan city. He thinks about all the events leading up to now and realizes he will need time to cope. )
Slender ?
Take over for a while I need some time . Some time to rest . Honestly before I go though . Why didn't you kill me ?
And miss out on a host like you ? Your stuck with this nightmare but fear not I'll let you rest . I'll drive . You'll get use to this life Thomas . Besides it's not like you have a life anymore! Judging from how you view it your living a fate far better than most could ever dream of.
I don't know about that.. Well see you later... ( Thomas Begins to transform .)
Ahhh goodnight Thomas and goodmorning world! I think I'm going to like this place far more than I ever did that old place ...
(With that Slenderman puts a foot onto the ledge of the balcony and lets out a howling screech that echoes throughout the city . Tendrils flailing in the night air...
Slender man will return ......

The End
