The Devils Cat

What a boring life I got. It's always the same, but don't get me wrong I have great friends and a loving family. It's just that it's so boring, so predictable, so... Lifeless.

But today was different, I was later to catch my bus to get home. Perfect right. So instead of walking home like a good boy I should, I go to my second home... Slender. Now before you say. No it does not have slender man or any other creepy... Whatever they are.

So I'm at slender my (now) personal woodsy place. I walked around looking at every memory-inducing thing. Like this one time me and two of my friends would like this really high hill called Mt. view (good name huh?) and our little hut made out of branches that is now just a pile of sticks.

You know, I think the time I was here were one of the best times of my life... Well best two years of my life. You see I'm a junior in high school at the moment. And well my parents moved during the end of my middle school year. But I didn't care, not unlike my sisters and perfect older Brother, I didn't have any friends at all.

I was always like this. Anti-social as adults would call me or quiet freak to others. I didn't care about them at all, I was way smarter then them anyway so whatever.

Anyway I was walking around in the woods like I always do when I come across some strange man. He looked middle aged and was well dressed, but whatever.

"So, this is your... Slender? It's ok I guess. I've seen better." He said... Dick.

"Yeah, so? Who are you and how do..." I said.

"Well my dear boy before you ask that, may I say how this place got its name?" He interrupted... Major dick.

"Why should I tell you? First before anything, who are you and why are you here." I asked one more time.

"Sheesh. Sorry. Here I thought I could help you get a more interesting life... Felix." He grinned.

Ok now that's freaky. Have I met him before I thought.

"No. Before you say it, you nor I have ever met each other face to face. But trust me. You and I can help one another solve our little... Problems."

"If you'er selling drugs. I'm not buying."

"No no Felix, I want... Souls." He said.

"Oh I get it. I'm on some stupid tv show ARNT I or maybe you'er high on some stupid crap. Whatever it is you can keep or have it to yourself. Because I'm leaving!"

He stayed silent until it looked like I was surrounded by... Darkness. I turned to see him smiling, no not smiling... He looked twisted.

"I'm sorry Felix, but you will not want to refuse this. Take a look around you. You can have this power. And not just this, your senses will improve, your body will become stronger, your mind impeccable. What do you say? Interesting Is it not what you always wished for?"

It was sadly, I always wanted the ability to control darkness. But this, this is just impossible. Who is this guy?

"I guess I should tell you my name now shouldn't I? My name is...
