"The woods are darker don't you think mistress?" I glanced at Thrax. As much as I need him I still hate him, but I'd rather have him then no one that knew me. I nodded.
"Why don't you talk anymore? Anyone would think that you cut of your own tongue." I didn't say a word, but kept walking. Thrax doesn't know what I'm doing, but I do. I need to make sure that the family is okay after my fake death. Jeffery would be heartbroken, yes. Slender Man, I do not know. Heartbroken, most likely because he lost another female that he was close to. I never meant to cause them the pain, but I had to go back to the pack and lead them again. I kept walking until I got to a cliff. I looked over the edge and saw a figure move. I glanced at Thrax and darted my eyes to the figure. He nodded and went to the figure.
"Who the fuck are you?" Thrax laughed. "The name is Thrax. My mistress you know. Do you not?" The figure clutched his knife. I saw a smile. Jeffery….. "I don't know who your mistress is and I don't care so leave before I make you." Thrax wrapped the chain around his hand again. "My mistress was Broken Shadow. Do you know her, or should I say did you know her?" A tear dripped off of Jeffery's cheek.
"Kimmi? Yes I knew her. I loved her you bitch! Why did she die? Did you kill her?!" Thrax's smile disappeared. "Why would I? In fact why don't you ask her yourself." Jeffery's pupils shrunk. "S-she's alive?" Thrax nodded and pointed where I was. Jeffery looked at me. A flash of lightning made the sky light up. I imagined how I looked to him. A black bandana over my mouth, my hair now black, and a black hood over my head. My eyes green no longer red.
"Kimmi?" Jeffery took a step forward. I walked down to where Jeffery stood and looked at the lagoon that was under the cliff, then back at Jeffery. "It's Broken Shadow now….Soon however it won't be…" Jeffery hugged me. I didn't hug back. Jeffery pulled back and looked at me. "Why is there a bandana over your mouth?" He pulled the bandana down and gasped. I knew what he was gasping at the lip piercing on the right side of my bottom lip. No shock there. I pulled the bandana back over my mouth.
"Where is Slender Man, Jeffery?" I looked him dead in the eye. "Behind you." I turned around and saw a man with a suit on. He had no face. "Slender Man about time I see you again." Grief, rage, and guilt flowed from Slender Man.
"Why are you here, human?" I smirked. I knew no one would see it, but I couldn't control it. "You know why I'm here. It's time the Family and the Pack become one. To kill Curso, of course." Slender Man's hands went into fists. "Never."
"Very well…. Then…" Slender Man relaxed a little. "Then what?" I turned around grabbed a knife and faced Slender Man again.
"I challenge you to a Trail Of Long Knives!" Slender Man didn't react. Thrax stood by my side. "If you reject my mistress will lead the family until someone challenges her." Slender Man nodded. "I accept then." I handed Slender Man a knife and took out another knife. "Shall I go fist?" Slender Man nodded.
I put the blade against my skin. The blade was cool…and got colder. I relaxed my arm and slid the blade across my arm. The coldness from the blade streamed into my muscles. Blood dripped from the wound after I lifted the blade. Slender Man looked at the wound. "Your turn Slendy." Slender Man took off his coat and pulled up his sleeves. He drew the blade across his arm, and blood sprayed from it. He's tense. This shouldn't last long then. I drew the blade under the wound that I already did. Slender Man did the same. I drew the blade again. Slender Man did the same as before, only this time he swayed. "Give in?" Slender Man didn't answer. "GIVE IN?!" Slender Man shook his head. "Never." I growled and drew the blade again. Slender Man did as well. I drew it one more time. If he doesn't give in now I'll be working on my right arm next. Slender Man drew the blade as well.
"Give in?" He shook his head. I growled and drew my sword. "It is clear no one will win this way. We fight and who ever gives in that way will lose. Shall we?" Slender Man nodded and soon his tentacles came out. I stayed standing still. Slender Man stood straight. "No. I will not fight you alone. Zalgo, Branden. Join me! Family watch." Soon Zalgo and Branden were standing beside Slender Man. The family stood beside Jeffery. I heard Masky gasp. I heard Sally cry. I understood why. They think I'll die…. I didn't get into a stance. Zalgo ran at me with his sword. I met him. I pushed him back and drew my other sword.
"Do you think you can beat me? I AM STRONGER THEN YOU ALL!" Branden ran at me. I dodged a blow to my knee, and swung my sword aiming at his head. Slender Man grabbed my sword. I cut off his tentacles. "WAIT!" Everyone looked at me. I took out my phone and earbuds. I put in the earbuds and turned the volume to one hundred. I then turned on 'Don't You Dare Forget The Sun' I put my phone away. "Okay." I grabbed my sword and swung at Zalgo. He dodged and I used my other sword to stab him. I got his right leg and he howled in pain. I took it out and looked at Branden. I ran at him then changed course at the last minute and went for Slender Man.
I swung my sword and cur off his left arm. "I WILL WIN!" Fear burned in everyone's eyes. I looked at Sally. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Seeing her…..crying…. No….stop for her sake….Don't kill her friend… I looked at Slender Man. "Oh God…" I put my sword away and hit the ground. I looked up. Curso was standing with Branden. "Well well well. Look at what I've found. My dinner." I looked at Branden, Zalgo and Slender Man. They were all looking away.
"Time for the fun Broken Shadow. Also why do they call you that?" I closed my eyes and blocked my mind from Curso. "I lost someone a long time ago….Someone I loved." Slender Man gasped. No one knew that….. "And shadow comes from my brother that died…or my step brother. Death Shadow was him name…..Shadow Heart killed him…. His own flesh and blood….." Curso looked at me. "How sad. Oh well time for you to join him." Curso whispered something that I couldn't hear pain erupted from me. I cried out in pain and the world went black.
