I gave the slender-port another try and found that if I'm in my faceless state it feels as if I'm going through a slide. I was able to breath easier too and I didn't feel like I was getting chocked. I looked at the apartment complex and looked for the number 87 (her apartment number).
I saw it was on the very top floor. I changed my look and slender-ported, not without hearing the loud scream of a passing woman.

'Fuck.'
Was my only thought as I appeared in the nicely furnished kitchenette of Maria Tank. I could hear yelling from a different room.

"I don't care! Get that money or I'm going to send my men to put some lead into you!"
I could hear a phone being thrown at a wall and angry footsteps coming my way. I ducked down behind a counter as the footsteps came inti the living room and could hear the air rush out of the cushions of the pleather couch as she flopped onto the sofa. I stood, quickly changing into slender form and slender-porting in front of her. She was my target.

A 37 year old Hispanic woman with black hair and a blue streak with light sun kissed skin and crows feet under her closed eyes. Her nose reminded me of Snape's from Harry Potter. She tried to block out the static I made but quickly gave up.
"What the h-"
She froze seeing me. One tentacle gripped her throat and held her in mid-air. She chocked hoping for oxygen but, got none. I looked into her fear stricken face as another tentacle came up and went at nearly the speed of light as it ripped through her skull. Blood and brain dripped from the tendrils as I dropped her back on the couch and saw the sun rise back up from her window. I gave the dead woman one last look before slender-porting home.
The first thing I see is everyone in their pajamas surrounding the flat screen, even my father and my uncles were there.

"Uhh, is this a bad time? I can come back later."
I saw heads whip towards me as they heard my voice. Jeff and Ben both ran up to me and gripped my shoulders, dragging my towards the Tv. I could see a police drawn picture of me in my slender-form.
"-could be Mai or a new form of the tale 'Slenderman'. Whatever this is everyone must be on the look out for this faceless creature." The anchor man finished up the report, once again showing the closely drawn picture of my slender-form. I just turned towards my family.

"Okay, so? What's the big deal?"
Zoe ran up and wrapped her arms around me with her trademark smile.
"The deal is that you're now a known killer, but know they think your the new Slender."
I motioned for her to continue the odd explanation that left me confused. Her smile disappeared with a flash.
"You need to show them your not Slender and show them who you are. And I'm gonna help. You don't want to upstage your dad, do you?"

I thought about it for a second. I didn't want everyone to forget my father, if it weren't for him non of the people here would have a home or family to turn to. I wouldn't be here, I'd be dead by my mothers hands with her and every other terrible person doing horrible things. No, that wouldn't do.

If anyone is going to kill people it was going to be us.
