As I ventured deeper into the forest, the world around me seemed to transform into something strait out of a movie. The trees loomed taller, their branches intertwining like old guardians, and the ground beneath my feet seemed to pulse with an energy. The voice I heard earlier was like a constant companion as it led me further into this surreal wilderness. Its whispers became louder, clearer, almost as if it was walking beside me now, it urged me forward.
At times, I could sense a presence lurking just beyond my vision in the trees. Slenderman, with his featureless face and elongated limbs, tormented me with glimpses of his presence that made my head start to throb in pain and my vision blurred, forcing to look away, sighing in relief when he'd disappear.
I had found the 5th page, "FOLLOWS" it read with a pen sketching of a tree and the shape of Slenderman. The drums, got even louder, I felt like I could feel it in my heart. It sent aches through my chest but I knew I couldn't stop. I need to continue, I had too.
In the distance I could hear a familiar voice calling out my name.
"[y/n]!?" It called, echoed with the crunching of leaves under my feet as I continued, passing an odd old faded red silo.
"Where did this come from?" I thought, my thoughts felt hazy. I didn't care that much, I focused my view on a white page fluttered in the gentle breeze. Th 6th page. I grabbed it with my hands shaky, it was another drawing of Slenderman with words surrounding him "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO"
I could feel my pulse quicken as I could feel how close I was to finding them all, I hurried to continue on but my foot hooked onto a lifted tree root causing me to trip and fall forward onto my hands and knees. I hissed in pain at small jagged rocks and sticked poked and scraped my skin. The voice called out again, this time it sounded like two.
"{y/n], come back!" The second one, sounded more mature, motherly. Both familiar. I pushed myself up from the forest floor, pausing to breathe slowly, just in front of me was another page however. My exhale came out shakily as I reached out for it, the 7th one. "DONT LOOK OR IT TAKES YOU"
I heard a branch snap behind me and my blood felt cold through out my body. I breathed in slowly and let out a shaky breath.
"[Y/n] Don't!" I heard the same voice yell, and I couldn't help it. I turned my body to to look behind me.
There looming tall above me was Slenderman but this time more sinister looking, inky black tendrils basically covered his tall form, his hands where longer and more boney looking and sharp like claws of an animal or a demon , His face, had shadowed contours outlining where his eyes and nose would be, but his mouth.
I felt my face pale as I felt fear shake me to my core.
His mouth, this time, was ripped open from the normal white abyss of nothing, it looked like a spiders web that was torn and stringy and through it, I could see a inky black sharp tongue, it dripped with thick black ooze.
I screamed just as he lunged at me, Slenderman's lunge was swift, his elongated limbs closing the distance between us in an instant. Panic surged through me as I stumbled backward, my scream echoing through the eerie woods.
Just as Slenderman closed in, a figure burst from the shadows. I couldn't believe my eyes, as I noticed the familiar [m/h/c] hair, It was my mother, (Because moms know everything!) her eyes filled with determination She collided with Slenderman, a force of maternal fury, and they tumbled to the forest floor.
"Leave my child alone, you monster!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the trees. "[Y/n], Run!"
I stood there, frozen in terror and disbelief. And I knew deep down that my mother was no match for the dark entity that was Slenderman. She had risked everything to protect me, to give me a chance to escape, but it was a battle she couldn't win.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched the struggle, Slenderman's inky tendrils writhed and lashed out, while my mother fought back with all the strength she could muster.
The forest itself seemed to watch in silence, as if holding its breath, as they continued. The drumming sound that had haunted me was now louder, a relentless, thundering rhythm that shook through the very ground beneath my feet. My head was throbbing, a splitting headache overcame me.
"HOLD ON!" I heard the other voice from earlier shout, as something zipped pass me. I could see, in the light of the moon, Alfie. She rushed towards the intense struggle between my mother and Slenderman, her movements swift and determined. Emitting a light that stunned him enough for my mother to seize this opportunity to scramble to her feet, gasping for breath and clutching her side where Slenderman's tendrils had grazed her. Blood seeped through her fingers, staining her clothes. She turned towards me, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and relief.
"[Y/n], run!" she pleaded, her voice strained from pain and exhaustion. The drumming sound grew louder and more unbearable, pounding in my head.
But instead of fleeing, a strange compulsion overcame me. I couldn't ignore the overwhelming urge to plead with Slenderman, to try and reason with this malevolent entity that had tormented my life for so long.
"Please," I whispered, my voice trembling, "please, don't hurt them. I'll do anything you want. Just spare them."
My words hung in the air, the forest silent except for the relentless drumming that beat in my skull. Slenderman paused, his shadowy form hovering ominously, tendrils still poised to strike at Alfie.
For a moment, I dared to hope that my plea had reached him, that there might be some flicker of mercy in this monstrous being. But my optimism was short lived.
With a swift motion, Slenderman's tendrils lashed out at Alfie, Her body was flung through the air, and she collided with a tree with a sickening thud before crumpling to the ground. A pained gasp escaped her lips, and I watched in horror as she lay motionless.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized that my plea had fallen on deaf ears, that there was no reasoning with this abomination. Slenderman's evil knew no bounds. I gasped softly, bringing a hand to cover my trembling lips.
My mother, despite her injuries, crawled towards the fallen Alfie, her maternal instinct overriding her own pain. (Aw) She reached out a trembling hand to check on her, her face etched with sorrow. I could see the tears in her eyes, tears of both physical and emotional pain.
Slenderman loomed over them, He almost seemed to feed on their suffering. I felt a surge of anger and helplessness, knowing that I had failed to protect them.
"I SAID STOP!" I shouted, my brows furrowed in anger, Slenderman turned his attention to me and I stood firm as the drums reached their highest volume now, my heart pounded in rhythm with their relentless beat. The forest around me seemed to pulse with energy, and the world grew darker with each passing second.
"What to you want!?" My voice quivered as I shouted, He was now looming over me extended his long, bony hand toward me. It was twisted looking, fingers were like skeletal branches, reaching out for mine.
I could hear his voice echoing in my mind, it was like a chilling whisper that sent shivers down my spine. His voice sounded like it held an insatiable hunger.
"You," He hissed, a echo of whispers and tormented souls resonating in the background.
I hesitated for a moment, my gaze locked onto that outstretched hand, feeling the weight of all the terror and despair that Slenderman had brought into my life, But as the drums pounded louder, drowning out every rational thought, I knew there was no other choice.
Thoughts of Jeff came back to mind, My mother and then finally Alfie's lifeless body. I blinked away tears that stung in my eyes and I sniffled, with trembling fingers, I reached out, my hand inching closer to his.
The world around me started to fade to black, and the drums' rhythm engulfed me entirely. It was a deafening crescendo of darkness.
Finally I felt his cold slender fingers intertwine with mine, sending an unknown feeling through me and in that final moment, I was consumed by the unknown, my fate forever intertwined with the entity that was Slenderman.
And then, there was nothing. Just the relentless beating of those drums, echoing into eternity.
End
