YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

It is to give you a basic idea of what the Rake looks like and acts like.

I do believe in the Rake and Slenderman and most Creepypastas in this book but I don't believe that footage was real
~~~~~~

I wake to Dan unwinding herself from me. My arms reach for hers and try to hold on but my groggy mind can't think and all I can do is trail my fingers down her flesh as she leaves.

My head throbs from hitting my head on the wall so many times and my body starts to stick to the mattress with sweat.

I manage to sit up but my mind swirls like I'm going to fall unconscious. It's still quite dark, and I fumble around for the light switch.

When I look in the mirror I see a large gash on the side of my face, from the forehead to about where my ears are. It's not bleeding but hasn't quite scabbed over. A strange plastic cover is on it, standing out from the regular cuts and bruises on my face.

I hide it using my Proxy, like all my other facial scars. I quickly flash what my real face looks like, half being covered in bruises and the gash, the other with small cuts in my lips that I bit in myself.

I smile as I remember the first days that Dan left. I was so frustrated that I but my lip so hard it actually came off. Huh, that was hard to explain to Slendy.

I pull on my hoodie and walk downstairs for breakfast. Slendy is cooking - as per usual - and Sally is drawing with Dan. Both their drawings are equally dark, with blood and demons covering the pages.

"Training today for you, Jeff." I look up at Slendy who is now making a pancake for Sally. "Today we will be doing weaknesses." His head turns to signal it's Dan, meaning the pain caused by her, Jane and Marcey. I almost burst into tears from the thought of them all.

Slendy leads me down to the simulation chamber. I wait inside, Marces old mace at the ready. It feels... wrong to hold it. This is Maceys, not mine. This is for her hands and her hand only.

The simulation begins. Jane is tied to a chair, so I instantly run to help her. In punishment fire burns my feet.

"Help me Jeff!" she calls out to me. "please." I take another step and a knife hits my abdomen.

This was devised a few years ago. It stops me from sympathising with them.

It's Marcey next.

"Oh no, my dear..." My arm wraps around her waist as we start to walk down the road. "Come with me. Join us."

I almost nod eagerly, but I remember last time. I saw Dan being tortured instead. I shake my head and back off, running into the forest. As a gift hologram Dan joins me.

But I have never got this far, so when she asks to come back here I agree.

A acid rain covers the holograms so anything I touch, even the floor, melts my skin. I scream for about 3 minutes until Slendy decides to show mercy.

~~~

3 hours and 28 minutes later I come-to. I hear Dan upstairs, hurrying around with Slendy. Probably cleaning.

As I wander upstairs (Slendy just left me on the floor) I start to think. Is Slendy trying to keep me away from Dan, even when she is back with us?

I do a little head shake, Slendy likes Dan... Well at least I think he does... And even if he didn't, he would see how happy she has made me...

Maybe he can hear me too, maybe he is me. The Voice whispers. No... I've heard this voice since I was 12, years before I met Slendy.

The door opens as I get to the main hallway upstairs. I wander into the living room just as Tails enters, with The Rake following him. I smile and pick up Tails as I greet The Rake. He does a creepy wave with his long fingers, bending them in turn. His blank face turns to the stairs as Dan comes down and he drops to his hands and knees. He slowly crawls towards her, but she doesn't react. She watches him, interested as his long fingers click on the floor. he gets to the base of the stairs, but before he can pounce on her and rip her to pieces Dan transforms into her creepypasta mode, then speaks.

"Hello there. You're the Rake." She squats so she is face to face, then puts out her hand. "I really hope we aren't going to have any problems." The Rake wraps his slender fingers around her hand, then releases, showing trust.

A couple years back Slendy told me of relatives. A whole island found by English people back in the Middle Ages. Slenderman and the Rake sneaked onto the ship, getting back to England. Then they travelled with the Protestants to America. Slendy found a nice forest and set us his mansion, just a small hut then. The Rake traveled around more, feasting on the Indian-Americans.

Since they left it Slendy has had no contact with the island or The Rake. It's the first time I've seen him, but I have searched him up on YouTube and he does some scary shit.

He looks at me and let's out a strange sound, like a pigs squeal but deeper and more menacing. He crawls over and stands.

"Hi there." I say to him. His skin rips to form a crack in his face that then turns into a smile. Some teeth jut out from behind his mouth and I finally realise.

This isn't The Rake.

"Run!" I scream. Everyone obeys, as we agreed a year ago that if something is happening we don't explain, just run.

I grab Dan and Sally, dragging them upstairs. Sally doesn't protest but Dan uses her wings to fly away.

I carry Sally up to Slendys room, knocking quickly.

I can hear the Expressionless dragging itself up the stairs.

"Come in." Slendy says.

"Expressionless dressed as The Rake." Is all I manage to spit out. Slendy opens the cupboard behind him and gives me a shotgun.

"Keep it away from our own." Is all Slendy says. He then sprints out the door with Sally, ready to find others.

I wander into the corridor. I've fought many of these, but I've never battled one able to shapeshift. A chill runs down my body when I realise it isn't up here.

I do one shot into the floor downstairs as a warning.

"Just leave and we won't hurt you!" I scream into the air, hoping it can hear me.

A single scream in reply, coming from the basement.

Dans scream.
