My Family -A Horror Fanfiction- ONE HOLD

Chapter 16

Slenderman was invisable (visable to me) as I walked near Alex and his little friends.

"Hey, Ash. How's it going?" Alex asked, bundeled up in a navy blue Northface, two black gloves on his hands, and a blue beanie on his head. I shuffled my feet and hugged myself. It was chilly, with Halloween coming and all. I now wish I brought atleast a pair of gloves out here, if I was going to stay out here and have a conversation until the bus came.

"Eh. Good. My uncle's birthday is today..." I said, my voice hinting that it wasn't a very good ordeal. I mean, of course it's fun. Until Michael goes overboard.

"Cool. I guess. Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something about your family, if that's okay with you," Alex said. He then paused and looked at my house, which made me look at my house as well.

The forests where still being held captived by all the policemen and women, which were annoying, but I guess I couldn't complain. 

I stared at it intensly, and I could hear it. "Well! EXSCUSE ME, MR. I-KNOW-EVERYTHING-ABOUT-TAYLOR-LAUNTNER!"

Just take a guess on who's voice that was.

Yupperoonie (Yup-er-OON-ey. Made it up. Cool word, huh?), none other than Michael Myer's. Then I heard Esther's voice respond.

"Michael! I am NOT fighting with you on your birthday! Let's just cool down, and let me get the presents... we can all... calm down... and"-

I looked away towards Alex and decided not to listen anymore. 

"Uh-huh. Well then. Anywho, onto my question..." He said awkwardly. I looked over to his friends and saw that they were staring at my house as well. 

Well then... I thought in my head. Thanks for embarressing me, guys. You really out done yourself this time...

"Why doesn't your family come out often? I always see you out of your house, but never do I see your uncles or aunts," He said, glancing quickly at my house.

This is when I take my gaze over to Slenderman, who no one else could hear or see. I didn't know what to say. 'Oh yeah, my family are just crazed serial killers who don't come out because of all the cops.'. That would be horrific. 

"Ummm..." I started. Slenderman said to me, "Tell him that your uncles don't like coming out, and because of the forest being quarentined the cops give them a hard time with leaving, or something."

"Because of the forest being quarentined, they don't like going out. You know, the cops always questioning them. It's just a hassel," I shrugged, trying to act calm about the whole thing. Alex shook his head, "No, even when the police weren't here, they never came out. I mean, occasionally, but if they were ever to go outside to walk or to get some fresh air, they didn't. They are always cooped up in the house. And even if they did go out to get fresh air with you, they used the back door," He looked to me, and then to the house, back to me again, "You should bring them out. I bet they would love the fresh air."

I didn't know how to respond. I mean, I could say that they aren't the social type, which certainly isn't lying, but with all the stories I've told Alex about my uncles and me having a blast, he'd suspect something. Slenderman looked at me and shrugged, if he had a mouth he would be smirking. It's not like it would be terrible to show them to Alex. The only thing that I'm worried about is Alex seeing my uncles, and my uncles wanting to kill him. And if they don't kill him, then the worst thing that could happen is Alex getting too close of a friend, coming home everyday, and each day he suspects something. And then he finds out. Man, that'd be terrible.

"Uhh... Yeah. That'd be fun. I should," I awkwardly looked to the ground, and I could hear Slenderman snicker at me. "Maybe you should bring them to the 'Bring Your Gaurdian to School Day'. It's a fun and cool day in the school where you bring your gaurdian to school. They hold it twice a school year. I always bring my older brother or my mother. My step dad is too lazy to get off his butt to go to my school..." He grumbled the last part, but other than that he was talking in a joyful tone.
