Slenderman: Change of Mind

Chapter 7

Kate's P. O. V.

So another year passed. He had become more caring, lovely, and cute since our first kiss. I loved him deeply and so did he. I knew all about him and vice versa. I gave him all I had and so did he. We had already become one single skin under the moonlight. That night seemed to be, somehow, blessed and magical.

As I saw his daily pain for being how he is, I decided to release him from his spell. One morning, when he was asleep, I tiptoed away from him. Once I was out of sight, I started running. His words repeated themselves inside of my head like if I was hearing them in that instant: "Walking through the woods, past the dead tree, there is a pond as deep as the ocean. The last time I saw her was when I shouted her name to the pond and she emerged from it just to punish me once more." I saw the dead tree and knew I was close. In no time, I reached the pond. I shouted out her name

-Megan! (Kate)

I waited for some minutes, having a weird hope for her to come. Just then, a strong breeze started to hit the trees' branches. I covered my face, but, when I looked ahead, I saw Megan sitting on the water. She was horrible; her eyes were bleeding and her skin had cuts everywhere. She looked at me in a wicked way and said

-Oh, my. What do we have here? A young woman, I suppose? Around 17?(Megan)

I was astonished. How did she knew all this?

-Mrs. Kathryn Worth, am I right? Your biological parents left you for unknown reasons, they remained anonymous. Your foster parents are Henry Worth and Elizabeth Worth, now deceased. You stumbled into this forest and found love with my monstrous creation. (Megan)

-He's not a monster! (Kate)

-He killed millions of people in the last centuries. He has the blood of thousands and thousands of children. Isn't that a monster?! (Megan)

-You made him do it! (Kate)

She snared at this. But she then smiled and said

-You are right. He is my little puppet. My little monstrous puppet. But I have to make you a question. Why did you called me? (Megan)

-I want you to undo the spell you casted on Slender! (Kate)

-Awww, you are trying to save IT. So bad that he has no salvation except true love. (Megan)

-We ARE true love. (Kate)

-Jajaja! Stupid! He can't love! (Megan)

-But he loves me! He does! (Kate)

-Well then, jajaja. I offer you a deal. (Megan)

-What deal? (Kate)

-If you prove me that you love each other, I will free him. But, if you fail, you will have to pay the price. (Megan)

-What price? (Kate)

-Ooh. Are you doubting his love? (Megan)

-No, I'm not! You have a deal. (Kate)

She scratched my neck with one of her pointy and dirty nails, taking out a drop of my blood. She tasted it, laughed and disappeared. The wound healed almost instantly, but an intense pain persisted. I was so excited. I knew that he was gonna be free from that witch because our love's infinite. I ran as fast as I could to the place I left Slender. Our eyes met, and I tried to hug him, but he grabbed my shoulders tightly. He was mad, but I knew I would cheer him up. He said

-Where were you?! (Slender)

-I've got good news for us. (Kate)

-What? (Slender)

-I talked to Her, and she will free you! (Kate)

He seemed doubtful and scared at the same time. He said

-She never gives up something so easily. What did you dealt with her? (Slender)

-Our deal's that, if I prove to her that we are in love, she will free you. (Kate)

-Otherwise? (Slender)

-I don't know. (Kate)

He rubbed his head worriedly. He said

-Why did you do that?! (Slender)

-But there's nothing to worry about because we're in love! (Kate)

-No! (Slender)

-No? (Kate)

-No! (Slender)

-No what? (Kate)

-I just...! (Slender)

-What?! Tell me! (Kate)

-I don't love you! (Slender)
