(I had no idea what to put for the picture so I put something a little close to it??? idk)

Darkness. Darkness was all you could see. You looked around in search of something, anything, but you couldn't find anything helpful. You started hearing a river flowing behind you but when you turned around to see where it was coming from, you were met with the sight of a little girl, crying with her knees pulled up to her chest and her head hidden in her arms. You looked at your surroundings to find that you were in in woods but not too deep because you saw a few houses through the trees. You turned your attention back to the little girl.

You started towards the child when you heard a man's voice yell, "(Y/N)!" You and the girl turned to the man. He was dressed in a T-shirt that had the Jurassic Park logo on it, jeans, and boots. His hair was dirty blond and his skin was slightly tanned. As soon as you saw the man, your eyes widened in shock and fear but the girl only looked up at him. Her eyes were (E/C) and her (H/L) (H/C) hair was down. You realized that the little girl was you when you were younger and what you where witnessing was a memory you wished you could get rid of!

"Mom is looking of you, (Y/N). You know not to run off without letting anyone know! You know what that means, don't you?" Eric said, a smirk starting to form on his face. Younger you looked at him with confusion while you looked at him in fear.

'Please...don't do it...' you pleaded him in your mind but it was no use.

As he started towards younger you, you asked innocently, "What? What does it mean?" The grin on Eric's face grew wider.

"It means you have to be punished." he said menacingly. When younger you was in arms reach, he grabbed your shoulders in a steel-like grip and pulled you into him, forcing your lips to connect. You started to struggle to get out of his grip but before you could, Eric pinned you to the ground, using one hand to hold both of your wrists.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk...naughty, naughty (Y/N)...let me show you what happens to naughty children..." The look on Eric's face made you sick to the stomach. You desperately tried to save your past self but it was like you were super glued to the forest floor. You waited patiently because when you had this dream, you woke up by this point. But the nightmare never stopped. Eric took off his shirt and wrapped it around your mouth. When he started to unclothe you, you screamed so you could be heard but with the gag in your mouth, they were muffled. In horror, you wanted this nightmare to end but it didn't.

You felt like you were going to relive the whole memory all over again until the unexpected happened. You started hearing the sound of static in the distance. The sound grew louder until it was almost deafening. Suddenly, Slender appeared beside you, the tentacles on his back flailing in anger. Several went and grabbed Eric and lifted him off of you, him screaming until another tentacle covered his mouth. Other tentacles went to untie the shirt around your little mouth and started to dress you back into your clothes. When you were taken care off, he turned his attention back on Eric.

"You humans disgust me. You were supposed to care for this child but instead you decide that the child is just some toy to play with. If I find you in my woods ever again, I will rip both of your arms off, then both of your legs, then your head. Then I will hang your ripped body parts in your room just to hear your wife's screams of horror when she sees her disgusting husband hanging beside her. Do you understand me, human?" Slender asked, pissed off. You had never seen him get angry. Then again, you just met the guy with 24 hours. Eric nodded his head vigorously.

"Good." He said in a calmer tone as he put him down. As soon as Eric's feet touched the ground, he bolted for the neighborhood, leaving younger you to stare at the tall man in awe as he 'watched' him leave.

"Thank you, sir. Your my hero! What's your name?" younger you asked. He turned his head towards you and if he had a face, you thought he would smile at your younger self's innocence. He knelt to be closer to your height and put a hand on your head gently.

"I am called many things, young one. However, most people call me Slenderman. Are you alright?" he asked, concern laced into his voice. You nodded your head as a smile started to form on your face.

"Good. Now I have to do something so you don't remember any of this incident, but if you want, you can ask me one question." he said. You seemed to ponder the request when a light bulb seemed to go off in your head as your eyes went wide.

"Will we ever meet again?" younger you asked excitedly. Slender chuckled at the innocence of your question, because you didn't fully understand what he was or what he represented.

"One day, child. One day." he said With his hand still on your head, he started using his powers to make the static sound you heard before you saw him. Younger you seemed to become dizzy until she finally passed out.

"Damn it! She went unconscious before I could finish. I was only able to erase half of the memory and I can't continue it now because if I do, she could get major brain damage. Well, at least I erased the worst part of the memory." he said to himself. You stared in awe as Slender gently picked younger you up and teleported you to your room so he could gently place you on your bed. You were snoring a little but it was quiet and cute. Slender just stood in the corner of your room, watching you, but not in a creepy way. Footsteps quickly started to climb the stairs. Right before the door was burst open, Slender disappeared. Soon after, the room around you and everything else started to fade into darkness. When everything was gone, you felt happy to know that the tall, scary man who had let you into his home wasn't so bad after all. That is, until you heard a high pitched scream.
