I had this story saved in my notes for a while waiting for Halloween so i hope u guys like it!!!
In the darkest corners of the world, love was a dangerous game-one played between creatures who knew nothing but chaos, pain, and fear. In the endless expanse of a cursed forest, two beings once stood side by side, bound not by affection, but by a shared hunger for destruction.
Slenderman, the faceless harbinger of nightmares, had never needed anyone. Solitude was his only companion, the silence of the woods his sanctuary. But when he crossed paths with Sonic.EXE, the twisted, corrupted version of the heroic hedgehog, something shifted in the shadows.
Their connection had never made sense. It was wrong-two predators, united by something neither could name. At first, it was a rivalry, a collision of dark forces too strong to coexist. But in time, what had begun as animosity became something deeper, something neither could have predicted.
Yet in a world built on fear and betrayal, nothing stays whole for long.
When Gumball Watterson, an innocent soul from another dimension, stumbled into their twisted lives, the fragile balance was shattered. Sonic.EXE, drawn to Gumball's purity like a moth to flame, allowed a spark of temptation to flare. And in that moment, everything Slenderman thought he knew was destroyed.
Now, what was once a dangerous, fragile love has unraveled into hatred. Betrayed and enraged, Slenderman stands in the shadows, his fury growing. The bond they had forged has crumbled into dust, replaced by the cold bite of vengeance.
In a world where monsters should never have dared to love, all that remains is the promise of bloodshed.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
*****
