Ch 1. In the beginning

(14 years ago)

She was a small little girl who I had followed around for a while now, she didn't t have a lot of friends in kindergarten and wasn't like any other 7 year old she was different. I chose one day to finally approach her when she was all alone in the backyard, I walked out and stood above her she stopped in her tracks and looked at me.

"hello their child, how are you?", her eyes grew wider each second that she looks at me, I braced myself for her screaming in fear of me and running away.

"Wow mister you are really tall, what s your name" the little girl said to me smiling and looking at me as if she sees something like me every day. "Mister ..what s your name"I was so surprised at this I didn't know what to do after this.

" I'm the Slenderman but you can call me Slendy if you wish child" I said to her she had something special about her I have never notice in any other children I have seen in a long time.

"My name is Diana, but do you want to play ball with me or swing we have a really nice swing?" she said to me pointing at the swing that was tied onto a tree branch.

"I would love to swing with you my dear" Diana" she giggled and dragged me to the swing.

"Umm could you push me mister Slendy?" she ask me trying to use the swing herself Of course I will my dear

It felt like hours in silent as I pushed her on the swing it was strange for me to be pushing a little girl on a swing, i mean think about it Zalgo's job he had given me was to capture human children and bring them to him to create proxy s for his army

"so do you have any friends Slendy?" Diana asked.

"Well...I...no I don't Diana." I told her truthfully, she jumped out of the swing and gave me a sadden look on her face.

" I don t have a lot of friends ether, would you be my friend slendy?" It took me awhile to think about it, if Zalgo ever found out who knows what he would do to me or to her. But it felt like that no matter the consequences I wanted to help her.

"Sure I can be your friend Diana" I told her and once she heard that she tears up and ran to hug me

"thank you" is all she said I placed a hand an her head and wiped the tears from her eyes

"no thank you"

The first few months was the happiest months I had in a long, long time, our plan was after school as her parents were fixing dinner I would sneak in her yard and we would play ball, swing, or a tea party... once in a while. However when she turned 8, things have took a turn for the worst for the both of us, I found out when I went to her house when her parents left her with a babysitter that just talked to her boyfriend on the phone.

"Hello there my dear" I said as I walked in her back yard but I saw that she was crying tears were rolling down her face as she looked at me "Diana what s wrong, is everything ok" she started to shake her head no quickly.

"My...my...parents said that were... Moving in a few days" she said trying to talk a single sentence due to her crying so much, to be honest I was upset about this as well.

"Did they tell you why?" I asked

Th... they said that...that daddy has... . Got... an important . job to do for work in a place called Atlanta" she wiped her eyes and snot was dripping from her nose.I grabbed the handkerchief that I kept in my jacket pocket and handed it to the crying Diana.

" It will be ok my dear maybe Atlanta won t be so bad" the truth is that day, I had bad news for my little friend as well.

"Will you still come see me you said that you can go anywhere you wanted to right slendy?" what Diana just asked me made my immortal heart sank.

"Di...Diana I need to tell you something" I had to tell her and I had to tell her now.

"Slendy?" she looked at me new tears starting to fall as she looked at me

"you remember what I told about my boss, well he's sending me on a new assailment and I won't be able to see you due to that my new student has to stay with me at all hours of the day" Diana looked like she when from sadness to depression.

"Wh...what?" She said as she wiped her eyes with my handkerchief "can't you just sneak way and come see me in Atlanta once in a while" she asked I lowered my head to ashamed to be hurting this little girl.

"I' m afraid not if my student starts to wonder about it, and if zalgo finds out about you, I... just can't risk having you getting hurt worse, a lot worse than your hurting now" I told her, I wasn't even supposed to have a human as a friend It was forbidden in my line of work.

Diana was upset she ran in her house crying, I didn't hear from her for the last week before she moved, and before I was stuck being some newbie's mentor for the next few years. I watched her at a distance I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't see her leave when her parents called her to get ready to leave I noticed that she had something in her hand I looked close to see it was my handkerchief that I let her use. She saw me in the watching her, she smiled with a few tears in her eyes and wave good bye to me. That was the very last time I saw her who knows if she remembers me at all.
