Hiya, if you`v read my other fanfics/storys then you know that I`m Mizu and this is my second "more then one chapter" fanfiction lol anyway, this chapter is basicly the intro and sorry if any words are misspelled (i`m not a very good speller lol ^^"") anyway, here we go
It was a normal day for me I guess, today I went to school, sun was out...the normal nice bull-crap I guess. Before I start to tell my story though...I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Jenna Elizabeth MoonRose...god, I hate that middle and last name...anyway, you can just call me Jen. I`m your normal, average skate punk I guess you could call me. I live a...normal-ish life in a small apartment in the town known as RoseRoad in the middle of what people now call "The Forest of Shadows"...by the way, yea I know, RoseRoad and my last name is MoonRose, I know the ironicness of it. Oh, and by the way, when I say "in the middle" I mean the town is actually IN the middle of the forest. The entire town of RoseRoad is surrounded by trees, bushes, forest. Now, before I answer your first question and yes, I know what it is, your asking yourself, "why call the forest, the forest of shadows?" and like I said, I`ll answer your question in a second. Anyway, now, the town of RoseRoad is one of those towns where you would enter and think that the town was from some romantic or some...disney kids movie or something. And what I mean by that, is that RoseRoad is one of those "perfect" or rather, "peaceful" looking towns. The people who live there are nice and the type of people that, I guess you would call the "happy happy all the time" almost. The road of the town is brick and there are roses and many other flowers everywhere and trees grown on some of the streets and the town even has a big park in the middle. And me? well, I`m 15 and I live in a small apartment with my mom Marry and my...step-dad, Dave...damn I hate him...I don`t even completely know why, I just...have this feeling. Anyway, now to answer your question. The forest wasn`t always called the "Forest of Shadows", before it was just the forest but, a week after I moved to RoseRoad, people started disapearing and by "people", I mostly mean...children and afew of the teens here had gone missing as well. There was only ONE of the missing teens, a 14 year old girl named...i think Jewlee (like Jewel-y, i guess) that they found hiding in a big hollow in a tree alive in the forest covered in cuts and blood...some not her own..and when they finally got her to come to the hospital, they asked her what happened and she kept mumbbling about a tall, faceless man in a black suit, crazy sounding right? but then, people started saying they saw a black suited man standing in the forest and staring at them, but they said they couldn`t see his face and more and more started to believe the chick and some started saying that there were shadows moving in the forest, then another week past and more people started disapearing, the Jewlee girl discribed the "faceless man" better and said that he was very, very skinny and the black work suit he wore made his skin look paper white, and he stood about 9 feet tall, and his arms where long enough to go about two inchs passed his knees and had other arms coming from his back like shadows and lastly of course, she said that he had no face, just completely white and blank. Not even empty eye sockets, no trace of a nose or mouth...nothing. Just plain, nothing. Then, two days later, she was found in her hospital room dead, hanging by a hospital bed sheet around her neck and with a weird symbol actually Carved into her flesh on her stomach. I saw a picture of the symbol and it was really weird, it was a perfect circle but with some odd looking "X" through it. But anyway, thats why, the forest is now called the "Forest of Shadows". Oh and one other thing, they started called the "thing" or "man" in the suit something...oh what was it?...uh Oh! they started calling him the "Slender Man". Odd huh? eh, maybe it`s just me. Anyway, sorry for probably taking like 20 minutes to explain most of this, but on with the story I guess.
