"I....I had to think for a while that's all."
"Well I'm glad you came back." Sally told you as she hugged you tighter. You remained silent and hugged her back. You looked up and saw Ben looking at you. Sally let go of you and Ben stepped up. "(Y/N), I'm sorry fo-"
"You're not the one who needs to apologize, Ben." You said with a small smile, then began to walk inside the cave. You stopped for a while then quickly turned around to looked at the outside. "Uh... are you okay, (Y/N)?" You spent the next few seconds scanning the wooded area. "Yeah. Something just... doesn't feel right." Ben quickly walked up to you.
"What do you mean?" He asked. "I-I don't know! All morning I've had a feeling like being watched, but every time I look, no one's there." Ben looked you in the eyes then led you inside. Once you got inside, you took out your phone to do some research on your paranoia. Something inappropriate popped up on your phone, but you quickly dismissed it. Suddenly, you got a notification that something was downloading. "Huh?" Then another notification appeared, then another, and another. You started panicking. "I didn't download anything." You whispered to yourself. You clicked on one of the notifications and a porn video popped up. You let out a small, quiet yelp and powered off your phone. "I'll just go get my computer I guess." You told yourself as you stood up to get your laptop that was in Ben's room.
As you walked down the hall, you smelled a strange smell like something had died. You ignored it and kept walking, but it got stronger as you got closer to the room. 'What is that smell?' You thought to yourself.
You opened the bedroom door and saw something on the bed—a fox— but it didn't take you long to see it was dead. You let out a disgusted, yet frightened, scream and walked out of the room. Jane, Sally, Jeff, Ben and Jack all rushed by your side. They all questioned you, asking you what happened and why you screamed. You told them what you saw as you looked at the floor crouched near the door. They all rushed inside to take a look. "(Y/N), there's nothing here." Jane said from inside Ben's room. You quickly lifted your head shocked. You got up to take a look yourself. "Wha-?" You scanned the bed. "But it was right here. It was right here! I-" You paused then looked around at everyone. They were looking at you like you were crazy. "You guys don't believe me? Or is this some sort of prank?"
"We... aren't pranking you." Ben said.
"Yeah," Jane added. "But you are acting a bit.... weird, (Y/N)."
"Maybe you need some food or a nap." Sally suggested.
You took a deep breath in and out then walked out of the room. "What happened to her?" Jeff asked. They all looked at each other than at Jack, who's been silent this whole time. He looked at everyone else then shrugged his shoulders. He was as clueless as the rest of them.
~Time Skip~
You took a nap like Sally said, but you still saw dead animals everywhere you went and now something new. There was this figure popping out of nowhere then disappearing that looks like slenderman, except he wore a trench coat with no shirt underneath, a tie, a hat, and a pair of black jeans and his sharp teeth were shown as he smiled.
You went into the kitchen to find something to eat and searched inside the fridge. After finding a slice of pizza, you closed the door, revealing Slendy who showed up behind it. You jump and clinched your shirt where your heart is. You sighed in relief. "Oh my god! My heart stopped beating for a second." You said.
"(Y/N), are you feeling okay? The others told me about what happened earlier and you seem a lot more jumpy-er than normal." Slendy said. "Well...last night, I came across this guy in the park, blah, blah, blah—not really important— but ever since then, weird things have been going on like the dead animals, the downloads, a figure following me, the—"
"Wait what figure?" Slenderman asked midway through my sentence.
"I don't know, but....actually.. it kinda looks like you."
Slendy stood there silent, told you not to move then teleported down the stairs in the living room. "Can you guys make sure (Y/N) doesn't leave the cave? I'm tryna ask her a few questions." Slendy whispered to those who were in there.
"Sure." Sally said, eyes glued on the tv.
"Yeah whatever." Jane said not paying attention.
"Yeah." Ben said playing the PSP.
"Alright, thanks." Slenderman said then suddenly teleported back to you. "Don't move. I'll be right back." With those words, Slendy teleported again. You grabbed a soda, sat down at the table, and finished your pizza. You started to listen to Slenderman when he told you not to move, but as the seconds went by the feeling of you being watched returned. You got up and walked toward the stairs. "Hey guys, I'm going out for a walk." You told the three bodies in the living room.
"Cool." Sally said.
"Alright, have fun." Jane said.
"Ok- wait should I come with you?" Ben asked, standing up. "No I'm fine. I need some time alone to clear my mind." You told him and left. "I feel like Slenderman told us to do something but what was it?" Ben thought out loud. "Hmmmm....I don't know." Sally said. Ben remained silent and sat back down and continued his game.
~Meanwhile with you (your POV)~
I took my first step outside the cave and looked around. Everything felt fine at time moment so I felt like I could finally walk peacefully without feeling worried. "I don't know what's been going on with me today. It's been like this since...the park." Realization finally hit me. I never thought about the guy near the rose bush. None of it really make sense, but I could at least ask someone for help. I reached into my pockets for my phone but it wasn't there. 'I must've left it inside,' I thought to myself. 'Well, since I have some type of idea what was going on I'll just head back and tell the others.' I turned back around towards the cave.
Suddenly, I heard a whisper and stopped in my tracks. "Turn around." It said. I listened against my will and saw a path of (F/C) rose petals in front of me. I got a strange urge to follow the path and did so. I was aware of what I was doing, but I felt like I couldn't control myself. I continued to walk until I reached a (F/C) rose bush identical to the one in the park.
I finally gained control of my body again and looked at the the roses. I looked around at my surroundings, but everywhere I looked, there were trees. I looked back at the bush and shrugged my shoulders. I hesitantly picked a rose from the bush and observed it. Its color was almost mesmerizing and distracted me from everything else, including thinking about my allergies. Out of nowhere, there was a gust of wind blowing flower petals around and shaking the trees. I looked around at everything going on at the moment then felt a strange presence. I slowly turned around and saw the same slender figure I've been seeing all day.
"Hello love~" He said before restraining me with his tentacles and placing a cloth over my mouth and nose. I tried to fight it, but I failed then everything went black.
~Meanwhile with the others~
Slendy teleported back into the kitchen to meet up with you. "Okay, (Y/N)-" he realized you were missing. "Why couldn't I see this coming?" He mumbled to himself. He teleported downstairs, powered off the TV, took Jane's phone, and took Ben's PSP. The room filled with whines and grunts then silence when Slendy's tentacles expanded, showing off his anger. "Where's (Y/N)?"
Everyone remained silent and looked at each other after realizing the mistake they've made. "How long has she been gone?" Slendy's tone made it clear that he was upset with them. "She just left not too long ago like 4 minutes ago." Ben said. "C'mon, all of you. She could be in trouble." Without hesitation, the three irresponsible sitters got up and followed Slenderman. "Okay what's going on?" Jane asked.
"I'll explain it later but first we need to find (Y/N)." Slenderman replied then stepped outside. They walked a little until they came across a path of shriveled up rose petals. Ben and Sally told the others that there weren't any petals out here earlier. Slenderman silently squatted down and touched the petals then teleported.
He reappeared at a rose bush that was also shriveled up and abandoned in the middle of nowhere. He looked around and saw a single rose on the ground and picked it up; it was still in good conditions.He picked a petal off the rose and crumbled it up in the center of his palm. When he opened it, the (F/C) petal turned to gray ash and blew away. He teleported back to the others and got bombarded with questions.
Slendy sighed before speaking. "I didn't find her, but I think I know what happened."
