The Plan of Some Sort:

Young Kate and the mysterious CR sat alone at the entrance of the abandoned mine. It was approximately six o'clock. Kate ate her packed lunch, while CR sat there; quiet as a mouse. He reached into the front pocket of his backpack and pulled out a notepad. CR took a quick breath before speaking.

"Alright Kate," he started. "Shall we finally begin our plan of action? After only an hour, we've gotten to know each other a bit more."

Kate raised an eyebrow. Surely, the two talked, but she didn't learn anything new about the man. Still, he never mentioned his real name. Though this is the first time they've actually met face to face, ever since the briefing at the mental institution, he's been constantly writing letters, texting, drawing pictures and assuring her that he will bring the both of them to safety.

CR scratched his head before continuing, "I remember being strapped to a metal chair at the mental institute. It was cold, dark, dismal, and the people – oh the people – visitors, nurses and doctors alike would spit at your feet and treat you like dirt." Kate noticed the change of tone in his voice; it was full of sadness. "Of course they wouldn't believe me. But when I was told about...well about you and how you seemed to have had a similar story or "hallucination" as they like to call it, I jumped at the chance. So I wrote letters, managed to reach you in hopes that one day we could see each other and both escape from our prison; the prison of our minds, of society, and of this creature." CR threw the notepad aside, and frantically searched his backpack. His hands began to shake as he continued to speak, "I never told you my experiences with this…man of some sort" –

Kate interrupted. "I remember you telling me that when you were fifteen, you went fishing. And during that night, you saw a strange man."

"Yes," CR scratched his nose. "I was fishing. I rented a canoe and went out on the water for an hour or two. During that time…well while on the water I saw an extremely tall man loitering at the shore…just watching me." CR swallowed. "This man was very tall, but the length of his arms went past his knees. He wore a clean suit, and he was faceless."

"That's exactly what I saw too," Kate interrupted. "After the fishing trip that night…he followed you home. He followed you all the way back home!"

CR nodded. "Yes. The only thing that stopped him from catching me that night was the door. I had no choice but to hide. And I hid until daylight. After that, he was nowhere to be seen. I went back into the woods during daylight. I felt something strange…like he was there, but there was nothing. I then came to the conclusion that his physical appearance only comes out at night, and his mental appearance comes out in the daytime; constantly keeping you on your toes. You go crazy I guess. You never want to go outside again."

Kate took a deep breathe. He rested her hand under her chin.

CR took out a large book from his backpack. He flipped to a specific page, and thrust it at Kate. "This is what we saw." He pointed at a picture of the tall, faceless creature. "His name is Slender…or Slenderman. A faceless mythological creature, that if seen causes hallucinations and paranoia. No one really knows what happens when he catches you, because no one has ever survived to tell the tale. No video, no voice recorders, no nothing. It states here that he stalks children. It is his only prey. You are seventeen now aren't you? Your birthday was last month, I presume; which means that you saw him when you were sixteen. And from your letters, you saw him not that long ago."

The young adolescent suddenly felt uncomfortable. "So, if you were a kid when you saw Slenderman, he can still get you when you are an adult? Only if you see him?"

CR quickly closed the book. Dust flew which made Kate sneeze hysterically. "Kate…I've lived out here for the longest time. When I saw that man on the shore, I was fifteen. It wasn't until two years ago that my parents told me that I only had a fourth grade education. They stated that I was in rehab for a very long, long time. Turns out, I had acquired amnesia; and they weren't sure how. That's when I discovered; that I wasn't alone. Slenderman…had been following me…since I was ten years old. I'm almost thirty now. I saw him as a child. I've seen Slender four hundred and seventy two times. I attempted to explain what I saw to other people, but it was no use. The adults couldn't see him. Slenderman did not go after them as children." As CR continued, his pace of speech grew faster and faster. "I've been haunted by this creature for a very long time. And I'm SICK OF IT! I know I can't kill him, or stop him, but I can run, I can run far, far away. So I have a plan of some sort."

Kate rubbed her forehead and leaned to the side, resting her head on the cave's wall. "Okay CR; so what's the plan?"

CR opened the old book again. "Kate I have a secret house past these mines and up into the mountains. This house, will be our meeting place, our place of escape, our headquarters."

Kate shrugged. "So…"

CR spoke at an uncontrollable speed. "The house I grew up in is a couple kilometers from these mines. I'm no longer safe there. Slenderman is restless. He wants me, and so for that, he's eventually going to teleport inside my house…to kill me. So since I am no longer safe, I'm leaving next week and heading to the headquarters. Now, you can make the decision whether or not you want to come with me next week. Once we reach our destination, the house, I have a vehicle that we can use to escape; to get far, far away from here. Now, if you decide to come later, or we get separated…your landmark is the radio tower. Follow the path that leads to the radio tower. It's a very small wooden cabin. It's a little out in the open, so it's not hard to spot."

Kate could see the distress in CR's eyes. His voice shook as he thought of the plan. He stared down at the ground and kicked some loose dirt.

CR slurred his words. "If I had the choice, Kate, I would leave tonight."

She nodded, and curled her lips.

The man slowly raised his head. "I want to be in this together. Most people believe that in situations like this, that being alone is the best key to survival. No…I believe that having a partner or friend of some sort could save your life; however, this is your decision." CR paused for a moment. "You have two weeks. After two weeks, I will be in my vehicle heading toward the city, and even further than that; for aid…without you."

"That sounds fair." Kate replied.

"You have my number Kate. If anything goes wrong text me, and we will sort everything out. I have guns and weapons with me. Unfortunately, bullets don't seem to stop the man."

Kate spoke, "So I have two weeks to reach your house?"

"Or come with me! I'll be out of the house by next week!" CR exclaimed.

Kate glanced at her watch. "It's almost eight. We should get going before nightfall; unless we want to see Slenderman…for the four hundredth and seventy third time. How's my survival bag?"

CR smiled. "From what I saw earlier, you seem to have the necessities. Water is very important along with food, a flashlight, batteries, and a notebook. I suggest bringing some underwear, socks and an extra sweater with you. Oh, and don't forget toilet paper, or you will regret it later." CR rose from the barrel he sat on, and started to exit the mine. "Now let's go…like you stated, with our luck, once the sun sets. Slenderman will be out there following us. He's most likely waiting for us…at this very moment.

Chapter 2 coming soon…
