Candyman Imagines

❤️ Your Mine Now 🐝

I've lived in Cabrini Green all my life, and for as long as i can remember, there has always been rumors of the Candyman. He's the monster that's apart of this neighborhood. Even the mere mention of his name sent chills down everyone's spine. Kids at school whispered about him in the halls, parents used him as a threat whenever their child would act up

" you better stop before candyman gets you " that's what they would say. They say that if you call his name five times in the mirror he'll come for you, breathing down your neck. Before he slashes you to death with his hook for a hand. And while everyone was always so scared at even the mention of him, i was always on the more fascinated side. I did everything i can to learn more about the candyman, like his origins or where he comes from. And why do they call him the candyman. I guess you would say I'm obsessed with him in a sense. The legend intrigues me

Over the years, there hasn't been much talk about the candyman in Cabrini green or Chicago alone, until now....years later, I'm a senior in high school and the talk of candyman has shaken up Cabrini residents again. Multiple murders been committed, even one right here in Cabrini green, in the same building where i live. It happened on the third floor, me, my mom and brothers live on the first floor.

I was walking back from the corner store across the street with my two best friends, moesha and jake. They were brother and sister. We walked back to Cabrini green and sat on the monkey bars at the park.

" girl i can't believe tanya got killed this sh*i is crazy " moesha shook her head

" yea i heard she was split in half, like all her organs were hanging out and sh*t" jake shook his head while shoving Doritos in his mouth

" i know who did it " jake said, looking at us both

" who?" I frowned

" candyman " he said, looking around like somebody was watching him

" jake please ain't no such thing as the candyman now stop trippin " moesha rolled her eyes

" oh yea? How do you explain all these murders then? They all got merked the same damn way, slashed to death, ain't no normal Ni**a gon do that, gun shots ? Now that's typical in Cabrini, but slashing and gashing hell nah, name one dude you know in Cabrini that would do some sh*t like that?"

Everybody stayed quiet, " that's what I thought " jake said

" we'll look, I don't believe in no damn candyman , I didn't when we was little and I still don't now " moesha said, rolling her eyes

" he do got a point though moe " i shrugged
She looked up at me like i was crazy

" y/n please everybody know you obsessed with candyman , you've been ever since we were little, remember those drawings you used to make of him "

I shook my head trying not to laugh. It was true, i used to draw when i was younger, really well actually, and most of my drawings were of the candyman, or at least what i thought he looked like from my point of view. I've never seen him, no one has

" yea you def obsessed with him " jake laughed " I'm surprised you ain't say his name yet" he smirked

I raised my eyebrow " in the mirror?" I frowned

" nahhhh, in the bedroom " he mocked, moesha started dying laughing and i shook my head

" for real though y/n, you mean to tell me as obsessed with the candyman as you are, you've never called his name in the mirror?"

I sat there for a while starting at the ground, nothing in particular, totally spaced out. They were right. I never did, I don't know why, i guess there's a part of me that doesn't believe it, and then another part of me that's cautious about it.
