The first thing you need to know about me is that I was cursed before I was even born. I come from a family of witches and a rival witch got furious because my dad chose my mom over her. She placed a curse on me while I was developing and I was born with wolf ears, a matching tail and bright yellow eyes. There was no reversing the curse, so my parents had to live with me having wolf abilities. But they loved me no matter what. Because of my wolf features, my parents named me Lupin. I was their "Little Luna". I was the happiest girl in the world...until my parents were killed in front of me. I guess even in the modern world there were witch hunters. My mother told me to hide under my bed and stay there until the hunters were gone. My bed was in the living room because we lived in a one room cottage in the woods. I watched in horror as my parents were beaten and stabbed numerous times. Their blood pooled around them and seeped into the carpet. My mother looked at me as she died. She tried to smile at me one more time, but her body gave out. Tears spilled out of my eyes as I looked at my parents. I was ten years old then, just learning how to use magic. To be a witch and an orphan then...was like a death sentence.

~Seven Years Later~

I woke up crying again. It was the nightmare of my parents...again. I always remembered what happened to them, every detail. I lost my innocence that night and possibly my sanity. No child should have to see their parents murdered. I was just one of the unfortunate ones. I sighed as I looked up at the stars through the trees. Me, Meeko and Jayda had been in these woods for a while. We never seemed to get anywhere, just went deeper and deeper into the forest. I didn't mind though. I was raised in the woods, so any forest felt like home to me. I stretched and laid back against Meeko. The white wolf groaned and moved his head towards me with a nudge. I laughed and scratched behind his ear. I felt a nudge on my foot and looked over into magenta eyes. Jayda wanted a scratch too.

"You want a scratch too?"

The husky marked hybrid nudged me again. "Hehe. I'll take that as a yes. Come here."

Jayda laid on my legs and I gave her a scratch behind the ear like Meeko. The moment was nice, just me and my furry friends. The night was quiet and I was able to hear almost every little sound. After a bit, my ears twitched at a familiar sound. The sound of someone running through the woods. The first thought that hit me was food. Food? Food! I know it might be gross, but I had turned to eating people when I was thirteen. I had a hard time getting normal food, so I turned to hunting people that I came across. I let the wolf instincts kick in and fed off people. They actually didn't taste that bad, not when you cooked the meat right. I pushed Jayda off me and started to follow the sound. My wolves followed me, hearing the sound as we got closer. My instincts kicked in and I went into hunter mode.

I followed the scent the person left. It was a man and he was terrified. I was curious as to what made him scared, but I didn't really care. All I cared about was hunting him down and tearing into his flesh. I ran after the scent and soon found the man. He was looking around, almost like he was watching out for something. He had papers in his hand and was reaching for another paper that was pinned to a tree. As he started to move on, there was this static noise. It got louder by the second and then, there was this guy that suddenly appeared. He was tall and white, but didn't have a face. He had these black tendril things that sprouted out of his back. The man with the papers saw the faceless guy and screamed. He tried to run, but the tendrils wrapped around him. As I watched, the faceless guy ripped the man in half. I gasped, but not out of fear. I was shocked by how easily he ripped the man apart. Wow. He's strong. I think I like this guy already. I watched to see what the faceless guy would do next. He stood there, looking at the torn corpse of the man. Two boys appeared, no...make that three boys. One wore a tan jacket and had a feminine mask. He had brown hair in the typical hairdo boys have. Another one wore a yellow hoodie with the hood up. He had a black mask with a red frowny face. The last one wore goggles and a smiley mouth guard. He twitched every few minutes. The yellow hooded boy picked up the papers and gave them to the faceless guy. They seemed chill at the moment and didn't seem like they were going to do anything with the body. Maybe if I ask nicely, they'll let me have it. Meeko and Jayda could use something to eat. I stepped out from behind the tree I was peeking from and walked up to the guys. They didn't seem to notice me, so I stopped and cleared my throat.

"Um, excuse me, sir."

Everyone turned around when they heard me. I perked up my ears curiously, my tail swaying a little. I smiled, trying to seem nice, but I don't think they understood. A black tendril wrapped around my waist and slammed me into a tree. I yelped in pain. The boys seemed surprised I made a dog noise, but the faceless guy didn't seem to care. He held me up against the tree, tightening the tendril. I yelped more and even managed to let out a howl for help. Meeko and Jayda came over, growling fiercely. Their eyes were glowing, something that only happened when they were mad. The boys jumped back and got in defensive positions. I saw that the boy with goggles had hatchets and it seemed like he was going to attack.

"N-NO! D-Don't...hurt th-them!"

Tears started to flow a little. I struggled against the tendril, which had actually loosened. I looked at the faceless guy and saw that he had his head tilted to the side. It almost seemed like he was curious. Without saying anything, he stuck two fingers in my mouth and pried my mouth open. I don't know what he was looking at. The only interesting thing in there were my canines. He took his fingers out and then put me down. I got confused.

"W-why did you put me down?"

"Because, child, you are different than any other person I've come across in this forest. What, may I ask, are you?"

I looked at him nervously. My tail lashed from side to side and my ears were back. "I, uh, um, I'm a, um, witch. I was, uh, cursed before I was born so that's why I have, uh, wolf features."

The faceless guy seemed to be looking me over, taking in the details. "Very interesting. What is your name, child?"

"Lupin...and these are my wolves, Meeko and Jayda."

Upon hearing their names, Meeko and Jayda came to me. They still growled, but not as much as they were. The faceless man looked to the boys. They nodded after a bit. The faceless man clapped his hands together and seemed happy about something.

"My dear, how would you like to come live me and the rest of my family? From the looks of it, you and your wolves have been traveling in the woods a long time."

I thought about it. It seemed like a nice offer. Being in a warm house and around other people for once. Having a family again seemed like it would be nice too. I looked up at the faceless guy and smiled, my canines showing.

"That would be nice. Thank you, uh…"

"Slenderman."

"Thank you, Slenderman."

"Well, now that that's settled, let's go home."

I started to follow, but stopped when I remembered the body. "Uh, Slenderman?"

He turned around and looked at me. I think he had concern on his, uh, face. "What is it, my dear?"

"Can I eat that?" I pointed to the corpse. If he had a face, he definitely would have been surprised.

"Uh, you're a cannibal?"

I felt a little embarrassed. "Yeah. Sorry if that's weird."

A snort came from one of the boys. "We already live with a guy who eats kidneys. Another cannibal won't be that different."

I looked at Slenderman, waiting, and smiled when he nodded. "I suppose you can have it. But, make sure you eat what you take before entering the house."

I gave a salute and went over to the corpse. I grabbed an arm and yanked it off the body. Then I used a spell I learned awhile back and cooked the arm within seconds. The skin fell off, leaving the muscle. I dug in instantly, my tail wagging with delight. I heard laughing and growled at the boys. They coward back, but continued to laugh. I rolled my eyes at them. Meeko and Jayda looked at me, waiting. I gestured towards the body and they went dug in. It looked like a scene from a documentary.

"Lupin, why don't you go on in. We'll be in in a bit."

"Just walk in? Is that a good idea?"

"Of course. You'll be fine. Here. Take this. If anyone asks about why you're inside, show them this."

Slenderman took out a piece of paper with a note on it. I shrugged and went on to the door. I whined nervously before going inside. The house, or rather, mansion, was nice on the inside. It was better than any place I could have imagined. It was mostly white, but well decorated.

"Wow. Slenderman sure knows how to decorate."

I closed the door and walked in further. My eyes wandered over everything. It was truly a sight to see. It was much better than the cottage I grew up in. I felt sad at the memory of the cottage, but brushed the thought aside. I started to wonder where the other people were when suddenly, something barreled into me. I flew to the ground, only to have whatever knocked me down on top of me. I growled loud and bared my teeth. My now red eyes looked into grey eyes.

"Get off!"

"Hahahahaha! I'm afraid I can't do that, puppy. You look like fun. Hahaha."

I glared at the black and white clown that sat on me. He was sitting on my waist, which was pretty uncomfortable. He had a pointed nose, white skin and shaggy black hair. He had pointed teeth too. He grinned at me and seemed to be enjoying my struggle to get him off. He had my arms pinned back, so I couldn't anything. I started to think of something to do when the clown was torn off me. I looked to see snapping at the clown, who was picking himself off the ground and holding his side. Jayda had managed to bite him when she tackled him. The clown was glaring at Jayda.

"I killed a mutt once. I can do it again."

The clown stepped up and prepared to strike Jayda down with his clawed hand. Jayda stood her ground, growling and snapping. I didn't want to lose my beautiful wolf hybrid and got up, running straight in front of the claws. They slashed down across my body. They weren't deep enough to penetrate my organs, but they were deep enough to leave scars and bleed heavily. I screamed in pain and fell to the floor. My scream rang out through the whole mansion. Footsteps came running and I saw many people running. I hurt too much to move.

"LJ! What the hell did you do!?"

"I was going to kill that stupid mutt, but this girl got in the way."

"Are those dog ears? And a tail?"

There were so many voices, but I couldn't figure out which voice belonged to who. The note Slenderman gave me rolled out of my fingers. A boy with a white hoodie, about my age, picked it up. He looked at it and then swore.

"We are so screwed. Slenderman's gonna have our asses."

"Why?"

"This is why." The boy showed the note to everyone and they gasped and looked scared. The note explained who Lupin was and why she was at the mansion.

This is Lupin. She will be living with us from now on. I expect everyone to respect her and show her around. I will be home shortly. No harm is to come to her while I'm gone. If there is even one cut on her body, the giver of the wound will face severe punishment by me.

-Slenderman

Everyone looked at the clown, who now looked scared. I layed on the floor, whining and crying. Deep inside me, I felt anger towards the clown. Anger because he hurt me and anger because he tried to hurt Jayda. Looking at him, I summoned my strength, enough to cast one spell. I focused on the clown, who was looking at me now. My eyes turned purple and glowed. I saw the clown back up a little, scared further.

"Dolor."

At once, the clown doubled over, screaming in pain. He was feeling the same amount of pain I felt. He fell to the floor, clutching his side and screaming. I passed out at that moment, the floor stained with my blood.

Slenderman P.O.V

My proxies and I were walking back to the mansion after putting the pages back up on the trees. Everything was quiet...until screaming erupted from the mansion. I ran for the mansion and looked in horror when I got inside. Laughing Jack was on the ground, writhing in pain and screaming. Lupin was passed out on the floor in a pool of her own blood. Everyone stared at me, terrified. I looked over at Lupin and saw her wolves beside her. They looked terrified and coward away when I approached. Turning her over, I saw that four slash marks covered her front. They went from her shoulder to her waist. I knew Laughing Jack was the cause of it because I could see the blood on his hands. I grew angry and looked at the others who were standing around.

"What happened?"

Everyone shook their heads. Ben looked at Lupin and then me. "We don't know. All we heard was this loud scream and then we came out and saw the girl lying on the floor. LJ was the only one with her. After a bit, she looked at LJ with glowing eyes, said some strange word and then LJ fell screaming."

Slenderman looked over at the screaming clown. He deserved what Lupin did to him. Slenderman sighed and carefully picked Lupin up. Her ears flopped down and her tail swayed a little.

"EJ. We need to get this girl fixed up immediately. If we don't, she will die. As for Laughing Jack, get him to his room."

Everyone hurried around, doing what I said. I started to walk off when I felt a tug. I looked down to see Sally. She looked sad.

"Slendy? What about the doggies?"

She was pointing to the two wolves that were with Lupin. "Well, why don't you see if you can calm them down. They looked scared."

"Alright!"

I left and brought Lupin to EJ's room. She was starting to look pale and I was afraid that it was too late. I just barely met the girl, but it felt like I had known her for years.
