Slender Man

X

I sit on the porch, looking ahead at the beautiful surroundings. How can a place so green have something so dark lurking around?

Suddenly, my phone starts ringing. Furrowing my eyebrows i grab it from my pocket.

The whole screen is black. What?

Words start to appear on the screen.

Play the game

I gulp. What would he do if we gave up? He can't possibly continue to torment us if we decide to ignore the situation.

I stare at the screen contemplating whether I should play or not. It could be a step closer to winning the game. If we win he'll leave us alone right?

Sighing I play the game. The character is in the dark woods, a flashlight being the only thing to help see.

I walk through the forest, looking everywhere for a sign. I find the one sign being 'help me'. I know when I find the ones I already found, there's going to be the one I have to go out to look for. Someone's either going to get hurt or-- die.

Quickly shaking that thought out of my head I continue to tap the floor. I'm attached to the game that I can almost hear the boots clearly as if i'm in the game. I look up from the screen and see a shadow, making my heart rate pick up.

I stand up as it comes closer to me, Taking a step back the shadow goes past me sending a chill down my spine. My feet follow the shadow inside the house, I don't know why i'm not afraid. Maybe it's because it's not trying to scare me. It's like the shadow is trying to show me something.

The shadow goes through a door I haven't really ever payed attention too. Opening it, darkness engulfs my eyesight.

The basement.

I switch the light switch, the bulb flickers making me see a little. I walk down the creaky steps before seeing the shadow stand in the middle of the room and in a second it disappears.

The room is dusty, with every step I take a footprint is left behind. A white piano sits toward the corner of the room, boxes are stacked almost everywhere. My eyes land on a box that reads 'do you remember?'.

I know damn well that box is for me. I take it down from the pile quickly opening it. I gulp when I see drawings of him, a little girl holds his hand and above her head it says 'me'. I go through more seeing so many drawings of Slender Man. I reach for a green diary, feeling the rubbery cover of the book. My thumb rubs the lock that's keeping me from knowing what's inside. I look in the box again, finding the key. I look closely at it, engraved in the key is my name.

It's no surprise there. Slender Man seems to have chose to torment me. I put the key in the lock hearing the click. Opening the diary to the first page I wonder why it's here? If all of this is mine why doesn't my parents have it? Sighing, I read the first page.

Dear Diary,

My mommy bougt me this diary. She said to write everything that happens in my life. I lover her.

I giggle at my lack of spelling and terrible handwriting. I flip to the next page.

Dear Diary,

It was the last day of seeing slender boy. I was crying my eyes out. Thats how sad i was. I told him that i will miss him. He told me that we will meet again and we be together forever. I smile at that. I was happy that i will seem forver. Hes my bestie and no one elses. (:

I flip to the next page and it's blank. My mom probably took the book away from me. Why would she do that? I close it and sigh. This goes way back when I was 6. Of coarse i barely remember, I never even heard of Slender Man until the game.

I stand up and make my way back up the stairs until i see him stand in the door way. I scream and the door slams shut.

"No!" I yelp running up to the door "Help!" I scream "Ethan! Seth! Jason!" I cry.

I bang on the door repeatedly not hearing anything.

"Guys!" I cry tears flowing down my cheeks.

The door swings open and I immediately wrap my arms around him.

"Are you okay?" Seth asks.

"No." I cry. "I'm scared."

"What happened?" Ethan asks

"He's after me."
