Slender man

We all looked between each other, sitting in the Poseidon cabin, my cabin. My name is Perseus Jackson, but I prefer Percy. This is a demigod camp, full of people with crazy battle senses and bad back stories.

"What should we do?" Leo asked lazily, laying upside down, legs against the wall.

"Percy, search up something we can do. We all know you got a phone." Thalia groaned, sitting up, looking at me pointedly. I chuckled nervously as the others laughed at me, but I pulled out my phone, searching up fun things to do.

"What's the first result, seaweed brain?" Annabeth asked me, looking at the screen. "Who's Slenderman? Why you trying to scroll past it?" Annabeth asked, snatching my phone.

"No, anything but Slender man!" I said, taking my phone back.

"What's Slender man?" Jason asked me, looking at me curiously.

"How have you not heard of him?" Nico asked, snatching my phone from Annabeth, probably to get an image. Once he did, he showed everybody. "It's a faceless monster, takes away children." Nico said incredulously.

"I don't believe it, sounds like every fake story!" Leo said, flipping off of the wall, taking the phone. Are they playing toss with my phone or something?

"I've had kids at my old school do it and disappear within a week!" I said, looking at them carefully. "And the ones who weren't taken, they were crazy! Their eyes were always bloodshot, always said that he was faceless! Let's just find something else." I insisted worriedly, and the ones who didn't believe me laugh.

"Oh come on, we survived two wars, fought multiple monsters, and some of us have been to the pit, I think a faceless man will have no effect on us." Annabeth challenged, and I wanted to run, I wanted no part in it, but most of them wanted to, I couldn't wuss out.

"Guys, kids were taken, this isn't the best idea." Hazel agreed with me, she could see how clearly I didn't want to do this. I'm glad she agreed with me, I wasn't sure who else did, Nico did, so did Will and Frank, but the rest wanted to do it.

"Most of those reports are probably fake." Piper said, raising her eyebrow. "Leo, gimme your computer." She said, and Leo complied, and Piper did her quick research session. "They're probably all runaways." Piper said, handing me the computer. I typed what I wanted to quickly.

"Here are multiple sightings and drawings of him!" I argued. An idea came to my head, and I frowned, but they wouldn't listen to me unless I prove it! "Look, I'll prove it, I will summon Slender man, and you guys can see what happens." I said, crossing my arms.

"Nothing will happen." Jason said, crossing his arms. The ones who believed me or heard of the stories before looked at me in absolute shock.

"If you summon him, there's no getting rid of him unless he either kills you, or drives you mad! Nobody should do it!" Nico argued fearfully. It was strange seeing Nico like this, so afraid and paranoid.

"Percy, maybe if Nico's so worried," Hazel trailed off.

"I'll summon him if everybody else swears on Styx not to summon him." I crossed my arms, and the ones who didn't believe me were quick to challenge me, swearing on Styx. I made sure to listen closely to make sure they actually swore, and I made the ones who knew the myths were true swear on Styx to.

"Do you even know how to summon him?" Frank asked worriedly, and I nodded.

"Yeah, when I was younger, I had some people try to make me do it with them, of course I left." I said, searching up the link. Fear grasped at me, I shouldn't be doing this, I know I shouldn't, it was stupid and dangerous, but that's my life. I grabbed my headphones and plugged them in.
