The forest was teaming with life as the sun was shining through the lush trees of green with birds singing and white clouds floating in the blue sky. Insects happily flying around. The forest was beautiful.

"Slendy!" An excited voice cried. "Slennnnddyyy!"

"What?"

A tall and slender man dressed in a rainbow polka-dot suit with a matching top hat walked in a clearing of the forest with a grin of a black mouth and black eyes. "Have you seen Offender?" He asked as he approached another tall man, but faceless and in a black suit and tie.

"Probably looking for a girlfriend," a third smirked. Trender was his name and the third youngest. He dressed in skinny jeans, a white under shirt with a tan sweater with converse shoes; sitting by a tree and reading a book with glasses over his eyeless face. Did he even need those things or did he just like them?

"He has been gone lately, hasn't he?" Slender, the eldest brother, questioned as he looked at the sitting slender brother. "Hopefully he-"

At that moment, the sound of steps crushing on grass walked in with an annoyed tall and thin man dressed in a black coat, slacks, leather shoes, and a fedora over his bald, white head with a thin frown on his lips and hands in his coat pockets.

"Found him," Trendy called neutrally.

"Never mind," the oldest brother muttered.

Splendy beamed at the sight of his second-eldest brother. "Offend-"

"Leave me alone, Spendor," Offender growled as he carried on walking straight.

The child-like Slender brother frowned, crushed by his brother's words. He hated seeing his brothers sad and Offender was certainly bothered by something.

"I'll talk to him," Slender mutter softly, following his mysterious brother.

Offender just carried on walking, past his brothers and to a nearby pond. He just stood by the edge, looking down as his faceless reflection with heartache and disappointment. He tried to change. Oh, God, how he tried to change from a dark and deranged predator to a true creature with a heart. He just wanted someone, a human woman, to be called his. After all his years of using them, he finally wanted to have that once special woman. He was wasting his time, he knew he was.

"Offender?" A cold voice asked from behind.

"What?" He asked with his smooth voice colder than his very own organ called a heart.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes," he growled. "I'm a monster and always will be one." If he had eyes, he was glaring death into his rippling reflection.

His older brother sighed as he stepped beside him. "Trying to still change, I see."

"It's not about lust anymore, Slend. I want more than that," he admitted.

"Love?"

Offender said nothing.

Slender slowly nodded his black and pale head. "At least you're trying, brother, that is all you need."

"You don't want me to fall in love," he said emotionlessly, knowing that it was true. Slender never trusted humans and was never fond of his brothers trying to be with them, let alone talk to them.

"I just want you to stay alive," Slender replied, then walked away.

Offender heavily sighed as he hung his head, just wishing and hoping that for once, he will not be seen as a monster. Just once would be nice.
