***Okay, so I decided to take a small break in writing my other book and write a different book in a different genre. The Slenderman's Shadow Map Slender Elementary inspired me to write this short fic. It'll probably be four chapters long, so I have a right to call it "short." But I've always wondered who that little girl is… and why she might want those teddy bears…

Well anyway, this is just a little story supporting my theory. It's only a THEORY. A stupid one, maybe. If this gets popular I might write it more. This is just to fill my boredom gaps when I'm not writing other FanFics.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Slender or Slenderman's Shadow.

Well, without further ado, presenting Chapter One!***


One: In Midst…

The girl didn't know her name.

Nor did she know why the school was empty. All she remembered was-

Wait, what do I remember? She thought, perplexed. Her cold, short fingers ran through the cracked and dirty tiles. Why am I on the floor?

She picked herself up slowly. The girl rubbed her eyes groggily and looked around. Sure enough, the school was empty. She nervously made her way around the abandoned school. Where am I? She asked silently, all I remember is drawing those pictures and…!

Now she remembered. Her name was Allie. But what am I doing here?

He might have brought her here. But as far as she knew, she never saw him after she drew the pictures for him. He loved them, she knew that. They would always share the pictures, and he would always keep them. But then there was that time when someone took them away.

Allie could never forget how angry he must have been. He was a stoic, always showing no expression. But that didn't matter. He probably doesn't trust anyone human now. Maybe he wants them all to die… As Allie made her way to the courtyard of the school, she saw the body impaled on a tree with no leaves. That was my teacher, Allie thought, my teacher got poked by him.

She tried to think about something else. But she couldn't remember what she was going to do. Most of the halls were caked with blood. It was a grueling sight, even for a little girl. Strewn papers were scattered on the floor. Allie felt her hair stand on end. It was getting cold. Am I being followed? She wondered. Allie turned around. Nothing.

She sighed in relief. Why would anyone be following me? It was quite silly thinking about it. Right now I've gotta think of a way to get out of here. I don't know what to do. Might as well leave.

She couldn't take her eyes off the hanged body. Allie grimaced sourly and made her way back inside the school.

It was still cold. She couldn't get any warmer. Allie's teeth chattered as she continued to walk around the school. She then found a note on the floor, accompanied with a rusty metal pencil case.

Miss Allison:

You have survived, I am guessing. We have met a bad end. Most of us are dead…or have been taken. Now listen carefully.

There is a chance to save us. It is slim, but we are counting on you. I scattered puzzle pieces around the school. Find them. There are thirty-two of them. Four of them are attached here on this letter. That's twenty-four left here. Find them and assemble the puzzle! The answer to the key is hidden in the puzzle. Now hurry! He'll be watching…

HELP ME!

Allie was only a six-year-old kid. She couldn't read most of the words on the letter, but she fully understood what was going on. So I have to find these puzzle pieces and save the day? She panicked. Allie was never good with puzzles, and having the lives of the school in her hands made her feel worse about the situation. She felt her stomach flop in different sides.

She opened the pencil case that held four puzzle pieces and read the note again from the top. What do they mean taken? Allie wondered. She shrugged and put the note and pencil case inside her pocket. She fluffed her little pink dress and walked over to an empty room.

A flashlight was on the ground. Allie immediately picked it up and turned it on. The room glowed in a menacing green light. She was nervous, no doubt. The light wants me to go crazy. She took a deep breath and exited the room.

The school seemed to change. Gone were the screams and cries of the school bully's victims. Gone were the droning principal's orders that echoed through the halls. Gone were the colorful decorations that lined the rooms. Now all that was left was the hollow, quiet, and gloomy atmosphere of the abandoned school. Allie shuddered as she heard the sound of her footsteps echo throughout the empty halls.

Something caught her eye. She walked nervously to her left until she came face to face with a large knife. A teddy bear was impaled on it. Curious, Allie jumped to reach the teddy bear and slowly pulled it out of the knife. She looked at the gap that was made on the center of the bear. There was something inside it.

Scanning the room, Allie knelt down to the ground and put her hand inside the cut. Her fingers only felt the fiberfill material inside the bear. She was about to give up until her fingers suddenly felt the rough edges of cardboard. Cardboard?

Allie was really curious now. She put both of her hands inside and took out three pieces of what seemed to be puzzle pieces. That's three puzzle pieces…

She could hear the sound of bass drums vibrate in her ears. But is that my heart beating, she asked herself, or is it a totally different sound? Whatever it is, I'm scared…


***Okay, that was kinda short. But if I get any more views and reviews I think I'll continue working on it. Thanks for reading! Reviews, criticism, and corrections are needed and welcomed!***
