Today was the day that Cordelia was going to have to go through the official initiation. Although she didn't have to go through the usual tests they underwent, she instead had to make her first kill.

She didn't really want to, but it was a price she was willing to pay if it meant she could prevent her... Father... From killing everyone she cares about.

Slenderman assigned Cordelia to a popular lake, near a school, where she would claim a random victim.

As she sat with her knees sinking into the mud in the shallow end of the lake, she began to sing, only the upper half of her body visible.

It didn't take long for someone to approach her. And who could it be? Well, of course, it had to be someone she held a grudge with.

Before her, was her ex. Her ex-boyfriend, someone who had dated her because he had lost a bet and was dared to do it. And she had always hated him for it, for not telling her before she found out herself.

A glare took over her once soft features and she began to stand, walking backwards as he followed her into the water.

Once she was completely under the water, her singing stopped, causing him to snap out of the trance.

He looked around in confusion, and when he went to turn around and leave the water he was now waist-deep in, Cordelia grabbed his ankles and pulled harshly, dragging him deep into the water.

He struggled, trying to claw his way to the surface, panicking as he thrashed and waste every drop of precious air he had in his lungs.

It took a while, but finally, he fell limp, and Cordelia didn't hesitate to let go and slowly creep out of the water, drying off with the towel she hid nearby and taking off to where Slenderman met with her to bring her back to the mansion.
