OMG! I just noticed how short the last chapter was DX My bad! Lets see what I can conjure up for this chapter XP LOL ENJOY! Now let me tell you before I forget, my perspective of the slender man is way different from what you believe slender to be lol You'll see once you read it. Remember! I don't update regularly.
Slender Man P.O.V.
Yes this boy, I've seen him before in the small town. Thaddeus I believe was his given name. I haven't seen him in the longest time, that's probably because I've been to busy watching over the children in the town. What a charming young man he's grown to be, but... why does he grieve? The aura around his frail body gives out negative energy, which gives me the impression that he's in a foul mood. I hid myself behind the shadow of tall tree and watched as he grew closer. His face was drenched in what I believe are tears, he had a faint crimson color over his cheeks, and his left eye was swollen and purple. What has happened to this poor child?
"Why am I the reject of the school..." he said to himself, nearly falling over a twig and saying other things about being a pest and a mistake. I tilted my head to the side as he passed by the tree i was hidden. Thaddeus? Is this really the cheery little boy I use to play with? Who's caused this poor thing to be so depressed after I worked so hard to make him smile? A low grow erupted from my throat, not loud enough for him to hear though. No one is to cause harm to my children, no one.
"It's not like I did it on purpose!" he suddenly yelled, startling me. He smashed his fists against the tree and fell to his knees. If I had eyes they would have widened at the fact that my child is dripping blood from his knuckles. I silently teleported behind the tree he leaned against and let one of my appendages sprang from my back. It slowly made it's way down towards Thaddeus knee and consciously let it brush against it. Luckily, Thaddeus didn't seem to notice as he continued to mumble to himself.
I searched his thoughts as he groaned in pain. I saw a tall, broad, young man roaming over Thaddeus body with three others beside him. My chest tightened as they punched, kicked, and insulted Thaddeus. Despite him pleading for them to stop the boys continued their assault on him. "How about you do us all a favor and kill yourself? the boy laughed as Thaddeus remained curled up like a ball on the ground, sobbing. A growl threatened to escape my throat as my claws extracted and the appendages in my back were itching to come out and hurt Thaddeus attackers. How dare they lay a finger on my child? When I find them I'll make them experience so many different kinds of pain?
"I would but I don't think God or the Devil want me around them," Thaddeus said, laughing sadly. Who was he talking to just now? Was he answering his attackers question? He stood up from his spot slowly and gazed off toward the horizon "Should I go home?... Hmph, No one wants me around... I should just keep moving forward until I'm nothing but a memory," he said before pushing himself off of the tree and walking off. I detached part of my appendage from my body and let it stay attached to Thaddeus ankle. I walked out of the tree's shadow and watched Thaddeus walked away. I continued to search through his thoughts, listening to all the cruel things that have been said to him throughout the years. He covers his ears as he begged for the torments to stop.
My chest tightened in pain. All I ever wanted for my children is for them to grow up happy. Now that I look at Thaddeus down on his knees and weeping continuously, I know now that I wasn't enough help to keep that smile on his face. He looks like a lost puppy, a kitten even. I'm not going to let things continue like this. Thaddeus, I will return that smile you had so many years ago to your face. So please... Do not weep my little kitten... I whispered in his head as I hid behind the shadows and neared myself closer to him.
"Who's there?" he gasped as he got to his feat. I can hear his heart speed quicken and the aura around him shifted.
Do not be afraid... I assured him as the voices in his head disappeared. At least I managed to make him forget about the torments. He questioned my person as he walked around the forest, looking for me. I continued to roam the shadows and came across a large tree. I attached a piece of paper to the rough wood that said 'I will protect you' and quickly hid myself.
When he finally spotted the paper he walked closer. My mouth parted and exposed my jagged teeth in delight. Once he receives this gift I will have permission to be in his life. Hesitantly he reached for it and finally received it. Now I have access to his life from now on.
Thaddeus P.O.V.
The forest became silent, the wind has became steady and the world around me seems to have stopped. My eye's were wide, my mouth was a gap, and my heart was running a mile. "W-Who..." I managed to say before drifting off. Roaming over my body was a tall, slender being, wearing a black suit and tie. His face was pure white and... "W-where?" I mumbled as I looked over his features. He had no eyes, nose, or a mouth! "W-what are you?!" I dared to ask as I slowly crawled back from it.
Do you not remember me, kitten? he asked, tilting his head to the side and standing tall. H-how did he speak without moving his mouth? I swallowed the lump in my throat as I shook my head 'no.' Do not fear me, I am your friend he said almost in a whisper.
"W-What?!" I asked, suddenly having a hard time breathing. "D-don't hurt me..." I begged, letting the tears run down and taking long deep breaths. He hunched down closer to me and my body began to tremble.
Thaddeus... he said, reaching his hand out towards me. I flinched and shut my eyes tightly, awaiting a slap to the face or something but...it never came. I jumped when I felt a cold, colossal, hand stroke my cheek gently. I opened my eyes and stared up at the being in front of me. My kitten... I will protect you from now on.
My heart skipped a beat at hearing those words. "What... Why... Who?..." I asked as the world around me began to spin. My vision began to blur and I suddenly felt light headed. I think I'm fainting. "...Who?" I asked again.
I'm the Tall Man you use to play with, he said before my eyes slip shut. I'm the Slender Man.
"-WHAT?!" I gasped as I sat up from my bed. Sweat ran down my face, my heart was running a mile a minute and my shirt stuck to my body. "W-was that a dream?" I panted, running my hand through my hair and looking at my surroundings. I was back in my room! Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. What was that all about, and who was that monster? It felt too real for it to be a dream. A breeze blew inside my room, causing me to shiver. That's funny, I don't remember leaving the window open. Come to think of it, I don't remember coming back to my room. "How did I get here?"
I swung my feet to the side of the bed and stood up. I made my way towards the open window and closed it. What happened earlier today? All I remember was waking up and having an argument with Anna, going to school and having the shit beaten out of me by Gerald, and going to the forest and...
...Thaddeus...
His voice echoed in my head. I shook my head and slapped my cheeks with my hands. "Stop thinking about it, it was only a dream," I assured myself as I made my way to my bathroom. I turned on the light and hissed from the brightness. "Damn," I cursed as I rubbed at my eye lids. After letting my eyes adjust for a moment I looked at myself in the mirror. That's weird... "I thought a bruise would form on my eye..." I removed my damp shirt from my body and gasped in shock. My body was perfectly fine and had no sign of bruises at all, my scars seem to have disappeared as well. "What's going on?" I asked, backing away from the mirror. My back then hit the door frame, causing something to fall from my pants pocket. I gulped as I slowly picked up the crumbled piece of paper and straightened it out. My eye's widen in shock and my hands trembled.
I will protect you
"It w-was real?" I asked as I let the paper fall from my hands. "S-shit!"

Okay so here's the deal with Slendy! He is a touch telepathic, which means he can read and communicate through people's minds just by touching them, he also teleports, which I think was necessary to include because really who like's walking? lol, and he can heal people, which makes no sense xDD As you read through the story you will learn more about the origin and morals of the slender, and I might include more freaky abilities as I go on xD Again, this is my perspective on the Slender man and I'm entitled to change what ever the hell I want XP It is fan fiction after all! Ha! So review/subscribe if ya liked it. Remember I don't update regularly and I'm making this story up as I go. Have any suggestions then leave a review!
Bye!
