GLASS EYES
I might be obsessed with South Park at the moment. That's why I'm starting on my sixth fanfiction of it. I had no idea what made me think of this idea.
By the way, they're all still ten years old in this. Keep that in mind.
Chapter 1 – In Which Butters Takes a Walk Through the Woods
Butters was generally a pretty easy kid to get along with. He was almost always seen with a smile on his face, and very few things upset him. It was very hard for anyone to truly hate him.
As Butters walked through the woods, he sang to himself happily, not a care in the world. Leaves crunched under his feet as he walked. Spring had given way into fall, and the leaves were starting to fall off their trees. Butters made a small jump onto some leaves and listened to the satisfying crunch.
"Boy, days don't get much better than today," he said to himself. But that feeling suddenly dissipated as a weird feeling entered his stomach. Butters stopped and looked around, trying to see if there was anything out there.
In the distance, he thought he saw an odd creature standing and staring at him. It was too far away to tell what it was. It started to walk towards Butters, but he blinked once and it was gone.
"Gee, that sure was odd," Butters muttered. "I must be hallucinating again."
He walked on and soon came across a small pond. Smiling to himself, he went over to it and stared into the water to see if there were any fish. He saw his reflection smiling back at him and waved. His reflection waved too.
"Heh, heh, this is fun," Butters laughed to himself. He looked back at his reflection, but something was off about it. It was still smiling like Butters, but now the eyes were blank and glassy looking. Butters blinked and rubbed his eyes, then looked back into the water. Now his reflection was also giving him a toothy grin.
"Wh-What's going on?" Butters stuttered, backing away from the pond. His reflection started reaching towards him.
Suddenly, the reflection started reaching out of the pond. As Butters stared in horror, his reflection climbed out of the pond and slowly started morphing into something else. Something inhuman. It started stretching and growing, and its skin grew pale. Soon a horrifying creature stood in front of Butters, a terrible smile stretched on its face. It had pale, almost see-through skin, and was completely hairless. It was tall and lanky, but hunched over so that its spine showed. It was skinny, so much so that Butters could see every rib. Its arms were long enough to touch the ground. It had a long rat-like tail. Six tendrils of flesh hung from the side of its head. The only features on its face were the wide grin, and those pale glass eyes.
Butters stared in absolute horror as the creature slowly started walking towards him, reaching one bony arm towards him. Finally, Butters found his voice, let out a petrified scream, and ran for his life. He ran as fast as his tiny legs could carry him, praying that his legs wouldn't give out on him.

All the other fourth graders were at the school playground, hanging around and having a good time. Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman were playing basketball with each other (Cartman refusing to pass the ball) when suddenly they heard screaming in the distance. After smacking the ball out of Cartman's hands, Kyle stopped.
"Hey, do you guys here that?" he asked.
Stan stopped as well. "Here what?" he wondered.
"It's sounds like screaming."
"The only thing I hear," Cartman said, dribbling past them, "is the sound of me winning!" He tossed the ball at the hoop, where it bounced off the rim, then sailed back and hit him right in the face. Cartman fell back onto the pavement, holding his nose. "GOD DAMN IT!" he shouted angrily.
Everything came to a halt as Butters suddenly burst out of the woods, screaming. All the kids gathered to see what was wrong as Butters ran headlong into Stan, knocking them both to the ground in a heap.
"Butters?!" Stan was confused, "Butters, what's wrong?"
"It's after me!" Butters babbled, "It's coming!"
"Whoa, calm down," Stan said, standing and helping Butters to his feet. By this time all of the other kids had gathered around them. "What's coming? What's after you?"
"Th-That thing!" Butters cried, "Terrible! Horrible! With those claws! And that grin! That grin! And oh, so fleshy! But those eyes! Those terrible, horrible eyes like glass! Staring and watching!"
"You're not making any sense, Butters," Kyle told him, "Try to focus."
"Yeah," Cartman agreed, "Babbling incoherent nonsense is Tweek's thing."
"What?" Tweek growled, glaring at him.
"(Don't worry, guys,)" Kenny said, stepping forward, "(I've got this.)" He calmly took the front of Butters' shirt, then suddenly and violently started shaking him. "(GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, MAN!)" Kenny shouted at the boy, "(YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!)"
"Waaaahhhh!" Butters screamed as Kenny shook him.
"Kenny!" Stan scolded, "You're not helping!" He gently swatted Kenny away and stood in front of Butters. "It's ok, Butters. Just calm down and tell us: what's coming after you?"
Butters took a moment to calm his shivering. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were wide.
"A monster!" he exclaimed, "There's a monster in the woods!"
