The WYDISM One-Shot Series
So lately I've been receiving a lot of OC requests from various authors. One of the OC requests was also from the One-Shot winner. As you know I've gotten Oc's before from other artists. I was able to use Morpheus, property of Morpheus Davol, and The Black Widower, property of AgentMaryland93. I have been able to add those characters and the story's going great!
However the WYDISM one-shots are starring two new Oc's.
Victor, the sole creation and property of Dust the Hedgehog.
Sheridan, creation and property of joshuathecomposer.
For now the news Oc's in the story will be them alone. However I will take OC requests from willing authors. The characters from authors, besides the ones listed above, will be shown after the first two chapters.
~o~
Victor didn't really know what possessed him to come to Colorado in the winter of 2014. He just felt that, in his gut, it seemed like a good idea after all the various wandering around he'd been doing lately. He remembered briefly that this was rumored to be the home of the Slender Man. It was a rumor so he was skeptical.
He was in an alley right now observing. He stayed in the shadows as he observed parents walking with children, groups of teens relaxing together on their Christmas break, and the couples walking close together while warmed by the presence of the other. Watching the loving couples, young and old, sent a sharp pang of guilt and jealousy shooting through his chest.
It reminded him of the painfully short time that he'd gotten to spend with his beloved all that time ago before those bastardly men killed her. His sweet Karie, so different from everyone else…She'd given him a chance…she hadn't seen a monster in him. He clenched and unclenched his fist, knowing those damned men had killed his beloved to get to him. In a sense he had put his love in danger…but then again, if humans weren't so dense in the head there wouldn't have to have been danger.
He no longer trusted humans, especially males. He never felt conflicted when destroying a male, rearranging his internals and organs, and then finally dragging the unworthy sap to hell with as much pain as he could inflict. As the Midnight Demon, as he'd been given the title ages ago, it was his job to do such things.
Once he pulled himself from his thoughts he saw a group of teens walking and talking as they made their way down the sidewalk. One of them had shiny black hair, crystalline blue eyes, and pale yet beautiful skin that accented her other features. Beside her was yet another girl with long brown hair that had been neatly straightened. She also had blue eyes and seemed to be a cheery person given the very faintest of smile lines starting to indent her cheeks. Next to her was a boy, he assumed that was the gender, but his face was expertly covered by the raised hood of his pearly white hoodie. The hooded teen had his arm slung protectively over the brunette's shoulder. She seemed to blush when he looked her way.
He sniffed the air and growled as he identified all three of the adolescent children. It was impossible not to know Jeff's scent but he'd only learned, and now knew, the others' scents because they were becoming a rather popular point of discussion among the demons and creepypasta community.
He identified the brunette as Casper Vega. In hand-to-hand against someone like him she wasn't a threat but it was rumored that she had some secret skills for running and knives…yet judging by the happiness he ruled out knife skills and gave her due credit for her toned legs indicating she had trained for running. More than likely she had done track training in school.
He growled again as he recognized the other as Hannah…the daughter of the ever-infamous Slender Man himself. She seemed to be a level-headed child at first glance and there was some noticeable muscle on her arms and legs but it wasn't enough to pose any threat to him. She did have a boyfriend as he was sure of that. The rowdy Slender Teen Gunner was currently courting her.
He did not know of the relationship between Casper and Jeff. He firmly believed Jeff was incapable of loving a woman and meaning it. He merely dismissed his arm, so casually slung around her shoulders, as a flirtatious pass that she was too polite to tell him off for. She seemed like a very submissive girl at the core.
He decided to follow them. It was being rumored among the other demons that he was quite possibly becoming stronger than the Slender Man. He was eager to challenge the authenticity of that specific rumor. He'd follow them until they went home. After that it would only be a matter of time before he found the perfect opportunity to strike.
~o~ Hannah ~o~
I giggled as I watched Casper and Jeff be all close and somewhat romantic with each other. It was nice to see him so close to someone again. It was even better to see he'd found the girl of his very fantasies. She probably didn't have the looks or exact personality of his dream girl. Casper was close enough to it for him to be happy. Casper was staying here in Colorado with Jeff for the week before going back to her hometown to spend Christmas with her family. Thank god Casper was sensible girl she was. If it were anyone else I'd be very suspicious and reluctant to let her stay alone in a house with her boyfriend for an entire week. But after witnessing first hand what happens to a person when they attempt to make a sexual pass at her I wasn't worried very much.
I'd been feeling a chill ever since we'd began walking back to the house to warm up and get something sweet to eat from the kitchen. Though I had a gut feeling the chill had absolutely nothing to do with the frosty winds blowing through Colorado this far into winter. We finally arrived at my house. We all removed heavy clothing and stretched sore leg and arm muscles. Jeff and Casper made their way to the living room to start a fire, and more than likely kiss, as I considered poking around the kitchen for hopefully a few freshly made cookies.
My thoughts of such things were shelved when I noticed my dad was home earlier than usual. "Daddy!" I squeaked gleefully and nearly knocked him to the ground as I rushed forward and threw my arms around him in a glomp. "I missed you so much!" I squealed as I buried my face in his suit. I breathed in his spicy scent and sighed.
"Hannah," he complained playfully, "You're acting like your uncle."
"Which one?" I joked as I looked up at him feigning a blank face.
That jab got a laugh as he rubbed my head affectionately with a tentacle and hugged me firmly around the waist with the same tentacle. I was so happy to be back in my normal house in Colorado. I mean sure Christmas at the Slenderfolk village was fun but after spending so much time there, practically my entire "summer break" in fact, a little over a year ago I was still too glad to be back in my own home. I then noticed the arrangement of brightly wrapped boxes and gifts held by the multiple tentacles protruding from my father's back.
I managed to slip a hand free and poke at a box with my name on it that happened to be within reach. "I wonder what's in here." I mused aloud with curiosity just oozing from my tone. My father immediately noticed and quickly pulled the present from my reach.
"Hannah," he scolded gently at my pout, "Can you please try to make it without peeking this Christmas?"
"But I want to know what's inside." I whined and put on a puppy dog face.
He smirked and even though he lacked eyes I could tell he'd be rolling them if he had some. "You know that doesn't work on me." He chuckled.
"It never hurts to try." I shrugged as he unwrapped the tentacle from my waist.
I suddenly felt another chill as the feeling of being watched returned. "Dad, I feel like I'm being watched." I confessed to him.
He stared at me with some evident amusement. "Considering I am your father it wouldn't surprise me." He replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I know, but this feels different. It's colder and…it's not like when you watch…" I muttered.
My dad patted my head lovingly and bent down for a moment to plant a quick kiss on my cheek. "Try to relax little one," he murmured soothingly, "I'll be there to protect you." He stood up straight and went into the living room.
I shook off my unease and went to the kitchen and found my mother making cookies.
Perfect
~o~ An Hour Later ~o~
I couldn't help the small snickers that escaped as I tried to hold back the laughter burning in my throat. I was only a little surprised that this was only the fifth Christmas my dad had ever celebrated with us as a family…or at all really. Even the other times he usually just observed my mother go about the decorating, cooking, gifts, and festivities and offering his help or giving it when asked. This was the first time he'd ever participated as well as been asked to set up the tree.
It was just too priceless.
Fake pine needles dislodged from the fake tree clung to his suit and shirt as he tried to twist the separated branches around and find their colors to match them to the slots on the base of the fake tree. He growled as he looked up and saw my barely hidden mirth.
"Laugh it up Hannah," he complained, "You could have at least started helping me by now."
"But you're doing so well." I said as a snicker escaped past my lips.
"HANNAH!" he bellowed and tackled me to the ground as he mercilessly tickled and prodded at my sides. I squealed and begged for mercy. "Oh no child, you will not escape my wrath this time!" he cackled playfully.
We soon became tired and dad lay down on the floor as I curled on top of his chest. He sighed and I sensed him roll his nonexistent eyes. "You are such a troublemaker." He sighed again and lifted me off him.
"We'll be outside." Casper suddenly giggled from the doorway.
I grinned mischievously as she was firmly in Jeff's arms as he nosed her neck. "Have fun you crazy lovebirds." I gave them a cheerful wave.
"Oh shut it Hannah." She sighed and they went into the backyard.
~o~ Victor ~o~
I watched as the Killer and the girl he'd been with earlier trekked out into the snow in the backyard and giggled like children. I would've rolled my eyes if I had them. I was a Slender that worked in hell. It's not that abnormal. I watched as they cuddled in the snow. He was really playing with this girl's heart wasn't he?
"Having fun so far?" Jeff asked Casper.
"Yeah, it's nice to spend time with all of you during the holidays." She giggled.
"What about me?" he pouted playfully.
"Of course I like spending time with you." She declared.
"That's good, because you'd to have a hard time getting rid of me by now." He leaned in close and to my shock he kissed her.
I was shocked at the display of affection. It was almost too realistic to be fake. Jeff hadn't truly fallen in love with the human female had he? I shook my head. It was preposterous. I jumped from the roof and landed with a loud thump in front of the two. I snarled at them and unsheathed my claws.
I had a mission to accomplish. I had no time for their foolish affections. "Where is the Slender Man?" I asked with a hiss.
Casper jumped up and Jeff blocked me from being near the girl. "Why would you need to know Victor?" Jeff growled.
"Who is this man?" Casper asked softly.
"He's a hell-slender. He works for demons instead of the Creepypasta community." Jeff explained.
"Yes, now I have a bone to pick with the violent Slender. Now where is he?!" I bellowed.
"Who's asking for me?" a new voice came from behind the children.
I looked up and chuckled darkly as the Slender Man himself stood in the snow in front of the door. A curious feeling leaked from his aura. He seemed suspicious as well. I stalked forwards as the children backed off to the side.
"What do you need from me?" the Slender Man asked with a dangerous calm laced in his tone.
"I need to prove I am the stronger being." I growled and lunged.
He rolled to the side and jabbed at me with hardened tendrils. I rolled to the side to dodge and lunged again as he lunged. We collided in a flurry of tentacles. We coiled them around each other and pulled or squeezed. My air was cut off as his arms were pulled. He yanked his arm free. We both began to grow in size as his giant maw appeared and we hissed and bit with vicious intent. As I went to strike him in the chest he sunk his sharp teeth into my shoulder. I howled angrily.
He threw me aside. I leapt up and slashed my claws across his chest soaking his suit in black blood and in turn he stabbed a tendril through my chest. Some blood flew past my lips but I ignored that and went to bite him. I sunk my teeth in his side as he stabbed many tentacles through my chest and pulled at my organs. I groaned in pain as he howled angrily twisting violently in an attempt to dislodge me from his side.
Minutes later he'd thrown me back and attacked with his aura clouding my mind. I began inflicting my aura showing him his fear. When he didn't stop to scream in horror I became slightly panicked. The great Slender Man didn't truly fear nothing…did he? I snarled at him and lunged as he knocked me aside.
"Why do you try to torture me?" he demanded with a hiss as we collided.
"I am the stronger Slender. You will no longer carry that title." I howled.
"I couldn't give a damn less about being the strongest!" he thundered.
That surprised me. "You would not care if you were the strongest?" I demanded as I backed away but still intending to inflict damage.
"Once upon a time I had," he snarled as we circled one another coiling our tendrils, "But now I have my family to focus on. I don't care about titles anymore." He snapped.
"Why are those humans so important?" I demanded curiously.
"I love Winona. She is so different from anyone. And now that I have Hannah I realize how petty being the strongest Slender was to begin with." He growled.
"But why?" I shouted.
"My family is more important than my title." He said calmly, "You'd be wise to realize that yourself." He glowered and turned away.
I lunged at him in that moment and raked my claws across him. He howled and threw me a good distance away. "You would be wise to stay away from my family and I before I really do release my full power." He threatened.
I snarled but heeded his warning and returned to hell. I needed time to think. I gave a last look at the snow covered area before disappearing.
~o~ The Next Day ~o~ Hannah ~o~
I woke up early that morning in black silk PJs designed with spider webs. They were a gift hand made by my Uncle Trender Man. I giggled as I saw it had snowed even more outside overnight. I threw on some black socks and pulled on a black hat before racing downstairs and throwing open the back door. I sailed into a snow drift and laughed as I fell through. I laughed like a crazy person as I made snow angels at five-thirty in the morning. Suddenly I felt another chill and was up in seconds ready to race to the door for safety and gulped.
Victor was leaning against the door and blocking my escape. I blinked somewhat in fear. Was he here to attack me? "Um, Victor?" I called uncertainly.
"I figured you'd be able to see me being Slender's daughter and all…" he grumbled and stood upright.
"Why are you here?" I asked curiously.
"I want to know why you're so special. Slender cares more about you than being strong." He stated.
"He has someone who loves him. You've had to have someone you've loved right…?" I asked.
~o~ Victor ~o~
"He has someone who loves him. You've had to have someone you've loved right…?" she asked.
I looked away…
Karie…
~Flashback~
"Why are you not scared? Why do you not flee me?" I demanded.
"I believe you are more than you appear. I do not see a monster." She said in a delicate voice.
"You are a fool." I growled.
"I believe you are misunderstood." She responded.
"And for that you are a fool!" I bellowed.
"Then a fool I shall be." She smiled.
Later Days
I held her soft and small hand delicately in my larger clawed ones as we walked through the fall leaves and forest. She offered me a soft smile before daintily balancing on the tips of her toes and pecking my cheek. I lifted her up in my arms and kissed her cheek in return.
"I love you Victor." Karie giggled.
"I love you too Karie." I rumbled happily.
Final Moment
"Karie, I am sorry for the delay…KARIE!" I shouted as I found her home in tatters. A note lay on her bed.
'You want you girl back then come to the village square.' It read.
I saw red and transformed into a hell-beast as I tore through the town for my beloved. I found her in the town house lying on the table but very still.
"Karie, please be…" I fell to my knees as I spotted the knife through her heart. I looked to the corner where the men were; ready to capture me…They were soon reduced to a sea of blood with torn scraps of clothing. With tears rushing from an empty face I blessed her and gave her the ancient rights. She would be in a heavenly paradise for an eternity like she deserved.
"I will never put another lover in danger. I will never love another." I whispered as I buried my beloved Karie
I set beautiful roses and daises on her grave.
'Karie Dallas, my One and Only Beloved…The Angel of Earth…'
~ End Flashback ~
I refused to let the tears of suffering fall from my eyes as she watched with concern. "Victor, are you alright?" she asked.
"I know what it means to love." I growled, "But I don't love anymore."
I stiffened as I felt small arms wrap around my waist. I looked down to find the girl trapping me in an embrace. "Well, whatever reasons you've got you understand that nothing matters more than the people you love…" she smiled and walked inside her house.
I watched in silence as this happened before looking towards the sky. "Karie…" I whispered…
I left the backyard to slender walk over to Iceland and visit the grave of my lover. I could still make out the faded words etched into the gravestone.
I brought a single red rose from my pocket and placed it on the grave. 'Maybe I can learn to open up again…' I thought hesitantly.
"What do ya say Karie?" I asked the sky.
I could have sworn in that moment that the small amount sun that peeked through the clouds shined just the tiniest bit brighter.
~o~
For the first chapter in this series I've got to say I think I've outdone myself. I love the way this chapter turned out. I hope if anyone enjoyed it that Dust the Hedgehog enjoyed it. Victor is sole creation and property of Dust the Hedgehog. You want to use his character you ask him, not me.
Please review!
