A/N So, I've been sick the past three days, and having nothing much to do besides feel like crap, I decided to look at my cosplay group's email, only to find seven new messages...all from the same person XD So I felt the need to give a shout out to Lil'MissEya, thanks for your reviews! Also, I tend to cuss a boatload in my head when I get scared, so beware the language in the chapter.

I sat down next to Gumi in her carrot pajamas, and Len plopped down next to me. He slowly put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer. I tried to slap his arm away, but he didn't budge, the girls weren't much help either, they just stared in rapt fascination.

"So, what kind of scary stories are we talking about now?" Len questioned.

"Luka and Miku were telling us about..." Rin paused adding to the suspense.

Both Len and I leaned in a little closer.

"The moonlight rider." She finished.

I glanced at Len and then we both turned to give a questioning look to Luka and Miku.

Miku picked up one of the flashlights and held it under her face, like they do in all those cliché movies before they launched into some type of horror story. So, we were off to a good start.

"There once was a motorcyclist who died in Arizona," She started.

~0~0~0~

"And they say that if your one of those people who see his ghost, you're going to die in a horrible car accident!" Luka finished.

Both Len and I gave a small yawn, not in the least bit scared, the story was actually pretty lame.

"That's not nearly as terrifying as I was hoping." Len commented.

"Well, what was wrong with it?" Miku asked, getting slightly defensive.

Sensing a fight coming on, I did a noble thing, and responded, "I think Len just meant that since it doesn't affect us here in Ohio, it's really not as scary."

"I'd like to see you tell us a better story! Nothing ever happens here!" Miku replied, clearly upset with my response.

I couldn't argue with her. Nothing truly ever happened here. That's why I plan on going to college somewhere far, far away.

"That's not true, Miku." Len stated.

Everyone turned to him, I had a bad feeling growing in the pit of my stomach. He wasn't going to bring up that, was he?

"I know a creature that lives in these very woods," He continues, motioning towards where we had previously been playing sardines.

I quickly shot him a look that said 'Don't do it, Len, Don't F*cking do it' Was he nuts? Telling that story to a bunch of girls, that were frightened by a story in Arizona? They'd never sleep again!

"A creature know as slenderman."

He did it.

That asshole.

Len, when you die, I'll have been the one to kill you.

Seeing the utterly pissed look on my face, Len laughed and then playfully pushed my head down into his crotch.

Jerk.

Ignoring my frantic wriggling and slapping, he continues on with the tale.

"The story dates back centuries ago possibly before even written time. The first recorded record of this beast, however, was in medieval times, where an artist drew a picture of a knight in armor being skewered completely through by a creature with no face, and eight tentacle-like appendages coming out of it's back.

Said creature had been constantly seen around town, late at night, and mornings following the sightings, dozens of townsfolk's bodies were seen shish-kabobed on the branches of the trees in the forest that surrounded the village.

Almost half the village had been murdered in a single night.

But the people of the town, though frightened, could not leave the town, knowing that if they tried to go through the forest, the creature with no face would get them, and they would join the rest of the bodies on the trees.

However, quickly the town's supplies grew thin, due to their trade with the neighboring villages being cut off. If only there was a way to reach the villages just outside the forest without being killed, there may still be hope for the people.

Eventually, a mother set out with her two twin daughters into the forest, in a desperate attempt to get help."

Everyone was now leaning towards Len in anticipation. (Except me, whose head was still firmly pressed into Len's crotch area.) I gave a small sigh. They hadn't even gotten to some of the scariest parts yet.

Luka glanced uneasily at the dark area we were sitting in, before moving closer to Gumi.

Len continued on.

"And so the trio set out into the forest, leaving the father behind to fix up the house.

They made it halfway through the forest before the creature came for them, appearing silently in front of them, almost as if he had teleported there.

The two girls clung to their mother in fear, but their mother stood her ground and stared, as if hypnotized, into where the creature should have had eyes.

'He has agreed to let me go forth. If you two strangle each other.' The mother calmly told her children. 'So kill each other, immediately.'

One of the twins fell under Slenderman's spell and agreed to murder her sister, the other however did not wish to die and bolted through the forest, back to her home, and her father, despite her possessed mother's cries.

The small child quickly relayed the the story of what had happened to her father and was sent off to her room, as the man could see the mother's figure approaching in the distance.

The small girl complied and dashed to her room, she dove onto the bed and hugged herself tightly.

She could hear her mother and father yelling through the door, before there was a loud scream.

The door to the bedroom was pushed open and in walked her mother, carrying two bloody heads by their hair. The lifeless faces of her sister and father stared back the girl.

'You refused to die in the forest, and now your punishment shall be twice as great.' The mother whispered evilly.

The next morning, four decapitated heads were found inside the house, the entire family of four. Each of their bodies were impaled on a nearby tree."

All of the girls were hugging each other and shivering. But I knew the story still wasn't done.

I shifted myself uncomfortably so that I was staring up at Len. I gave him another look that said "Tell the abridged version if you don't want this to go on for hours."

Len gave me a small nod and skipped all of the truly horrifying things about slenderman.

"There are a few more things I should tell you girls, seeing as it's obvious you won't be able to stand hearing the full story. Len commented cockily. "Even Piko got farther into the story than you four, and he's one of the biggest babies I know."

"HEY! I shouted angrily, getting mad. "I heard the whole story and you know it!"

"True, but how well did you sleep that week Piko-kun?"

Dejectedly I glanced down. I hadn't slept that week at all.

"And besides, I never told you this part. Some say Slenderman stalks this very forest, but there's never been any proof, until tonight."

Everyone looks at Len in shock.

"We're all going slendy hunting." He says, tossing us each a flashlight. "Inside his tunnel."

Oh fuck. I had entirely forgotten about the tunnel in their forest. Len and I had been inside it before, but only in the daytime. Why had I never noticed all the similarities between where Len lived and where slendy was supposed to.

Fuckityfuckfuck.

Len grabbed onto my shoulders and forcefully shoved me to my feet.

"Come on, Piko, Don't be a baby."

~0~0~0~

I shivered in the cold night air. I don't know how in the hell he did it, but Len had somehow convinced us all to go out and into the forest.

I was huddled next to him, trying not to appear nervous, though, I think I was failing miserably.

Eventually the tunnel cam into view and we all slowly approached it. I felt my legs shaking beneath me, but in an attempt to be brave, I continues onwards, pulling Len with me.(If slendy was truly out here, I and not dying alone.)

Once we got to the entrance of the tunnel we all stopped and slowly stared inside. No one but Len wanted to even attempt to go in.

The girls huddled in a group and refused to even peek inside one more time.

I started walking towards the girls, figuring we could go back inside the house, but before I could, Len latched onto my wrist and dragged me inside.

My breathing quickly grew unsteady and my hear was pounding inside my chest.

"Aww, come on Piko, man up, this isn't scary at all." Len commented, his voice cracking.

That hypocrite. He was just as scared as I was to be in here.

Suddenly, Len let out a scream, and instinctively I pulled him to the side, and we both collapsed on the floor. My heart was about to explode.

"E-ehehe, sorry Piko, I just walked into a spider web."

I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you. Slowly and painfully.

Shakily, we both rose to our feet, and continued on through the tunnel.

Out of nowhere, both our flashlight's gave out and we were surrounded by darkness. Instinctively, we both screamed and Len pulled me to his chest protectively.

We blindly made a mad dash towards the end of the tunnel, but before we made it out-

We bumped into something.

Frozen in fear, Len and I stared at the creature in front of us .

A blank white face, with no eyes seemed to glare at us in the dark. Eight tentacle-like appendages were resting on the ground, ready to spear us through at any second.

I turned to face Len for the last time.

"Hey, Piko," He started slowly.

"Y-yeah?"

"I love you."

I wish I had, had the chance to reply back, "I love you too." Before everything had gone black.
