All her life all she ever heard was, "Beware of the woods," or "Don't go in the woods," and always the occasional "He wants the children, he wants their souls,". It drove her to the point of hiding in her room sometimes when she was younger in all honesty. She wasn't dumb, she knew they were talking about SlenderMan. A tall, thin, white yet faceless man they say roamed the woods eating children and killing adults who got in his way. She, however, refused to listen. Always saying the same thing since she turned old enough at the age of five to hear the stories, "I WILL MARRY THE MAN IN THE WOODS! NO MATTER WHAT!," she would say as loud as she could muster every time her parents would say something about getting a boyfriend, especially when she turned seventeen.

Now that she was eighteen, her parents were even more concerned and more forceful. "Mitsu, we don't want to have to do this but it's for your own good. We have decided on a husband for you and are sending you off to meet and live with him and his family shortly after school lets out for spring break," it was her mother who had dropped the bomb on her. After that she told her mom that she refused to marry someone that she didn't even know and she wasn't going to spend two weeks in a stranger's house, she had a part time job as well as spring break homework she needed to complete. However her mother wouldn't listen, so she ran off before she did something she would regret later.

The sky grew dark as the sound of waves and her own crying assaulted her ears. She wondered what she was thinking, chastising herself for falling in love with a supposedly dangerous yet mysterious man she knew nothing about really, except for the stories. She watched as the waves crashed against the rocks below her. It was about a 215 kilometer drop (about 750,381 feet, could be wrong just a guess)with sharp rocks sticking up like hard jagged teeth at the bottom. She was contemplating on jumping when the soft sound of light static entered her hearing. She felt something like a tentacle but not really wrap around her all the way across her body and back around, stopping at the base of her head.

She then felt it lifter off the ground and turn her to face the very person she had always wanted to meet. There in a black suit, dark tie, with a white and yet faceless, tall, thin man standing right in front of her in the direction she had been turned in, was SlenderMan. His presence giving off an aura of unwelcomness and worry and yet fear. He was scared she was there, she felt it and gave a resignated sigh. "Why are you in my forest," his voice was deep and had a hint of somewhat softness. Like he was actually worried she was going to decide to jump. "I thought you wouldn't mind too much if i came alone to be alone and to cry. If you don't want me here that's fine too either way. Mr. SlenderMan," she spoke so softly it was barely a whisper.

She didn't try to struggle or fight against him, knowing that doing so would probably make the situation worse than it already more than likely was. "What's to stop me from killing you right here and now?," he asked her slowly little by little tightening his grip on her. "Nothing if that is what you wish, I was contemplating killing myself anyway," she said and turned her hazel green eyes to look at the ground. She had the strength and resolve to carry out and go through either situation. "A young adult, why?," he asked. He then noticed the embarrassed blush that came to her cheeks. "Because everyone calls me a Monster Lover. All because ever since I was a child, I had always wanted to meet you, no matter what people said, no matter the price I had to pay," she said tears starting to form in her eyes.

'You did it, you finally met the only one who had stolen your heart since you were a child,' she thought to herself. "Why would a child want to meet a 'child killer'," the man that held her asked seeming to be dealing with conflicting emotions. "Because I didn't want to believe you were a 'child killing monster' for no reason," she said and let out a seemingly pained exhale. She felt it then, his hurt and his fear, they stood out like a clown in a pep rally. She felt him tighten his grip really strongly and really quickly that it gave her a little startle and caused her to gasp. "If you're scared that I'll tell everyone to come after you then you can kill me if you like," she said before adding a sudden, "I would've rathered you kill me anyway." and closing her eyes. She felt him pull her closer to himself and when she opened her eyes, her face was mere inches from his. Her black hair was falling around her face, quite effectively framing it making her look much older than she actually was. She felt his inner turmoil, like he was struggling to come to a decision. Finally she felt herself being put down onto the ground where she fell to her knees looking up at him. "You should go home and never return here," he said his voice sounded... well hurt... like he really didn't want her to go but was expecting her to agree with him.

She felt her heart flutter, her long time crush on the mysterious man causing her to start to tremble. She didn't want to leave him, not yet, not without at least confessing before she was sent off to marry and hopefully (according to her parents) forget about her obsession with Slenderman and focus on raising a family. "I'm afraid, I have to disagree with you," she said softly trying not to tear up, she was failing and she knew it, but at this point she didn't care. "Why is that," he asked her. If he had a face, she knew he would have an expression of relieved curiosity. "Because I always said that once I found you, I would never leave your side," she said tears now rolling down her face.

She heard him inhale deeply as if he were trying to hide a gasp. "Why would a human risk everything just to stay by my side," he asked quietly for some reason. She noticed he had turned away from her slightly, 'It's now or never. Tell him the worst that can happen is you end up dead, which is better than being taken by someone you don't love,' she thought and took a deep breath. "Because nobody... all my life all I ever heard were hateful and mean things said about you, about how evil you were, how you had no emotion. Not one single person ever told me to try and understand, I did that on my own and was ridiculed for it. I don't know why but, every time that someone poked fun at me, it didn't bother me. I was okay being the weird girl who like Slenderman, I was fine with it, but, when they called you those names it hurt me to the point I refused to eat, sleep, or even drink anything. It hurt so much and I didn't know why," she said her voice finally cracking and tears streaming down in almost rivers down her face. 'I just don't understand it,why would it hurt so much," she said then crying harder. She never liked crying in front of anyone, not even her parents. She always had went to the edge of the woods and hide and cry when she was little. She heard him shuffle as if turning to face her, "When I was little, though I can't remember when I heard it for the very first time, but I do know is that when I heard your name for the very first time, I fell in love with you. I swore to myself one day I would hopefully become the one child that married Slenderman, but now, it's not going to happen. I am being shipped off ASAP to marry someone my parents picked out in an attempt for me to become a 'normal human'." she said and hugged herself. She felt him use one of his tendrils to lift her chin so she was looking at him. "Name," he said softly.

His voice with that one word question became deeper to her causing a shiver. "Mitsuki Fumitake, Mitsu, for short." she said unable to take her eyes off of him. "Tell me, why would a child love me," he questioned. In this moment, it was gentle curiosity that laced his voice. "Because without love, even the most strong minded, lose their way," she said softly. Suddenly a cold gust of wind whipped around her and she shivered. It had got very dark and with that very felt him use a tendril to gently grab her waist and pull her into a surprisingly warm embrace. "You always believed never once doubting me and yet you were treated terribly because of it," his words were soft and spoken with an awed yet sad tone. "Can I stay just a little longer, I promise no matter what, I won't run just, please I don't want to go home to a house where I am bound to be sent off to be married, I had refused it but my parents won't listen. So I don't want to go, not yet," she said softly. After she said that she felt him move to a rock and sit down where she in turn sat on the ground and leaned against his legs. "Thank you, Mr. Slenderman," she said as the smell of the forest and the sounds of waves caused her to start drifting off to sleep. "You can just call me Slender, Mitsu," he said and stroked her hair. "Alright," she said before finally drifting off to sleep.
