~Penni~
I walk out my last class on Friday. Most seniors adore Fridays, I don't. Ever since my father's death when I was seven I've hated Fridays. They meant two whle days with just my mom, my twin sister, and her boyfriend.
Although ninety nine percent of the time I don't even talk to them. I've always been more of a loner. I honestly think they can't wait until I move out. Mom knows the day I turn eighteen I'm out. And she knows my sister isn't going anywhere until she's engaged. Or even married knowing her.
I sigh. Two months Penni, two months and you're out. I think to myself as my kind of friend Connor walks up. "Hey Pens."
"Hey Conner." I say. It's obvious the poor kid has a crush on me. Too bad the feelings aren't mutual.
"So, whatcha doing tomorrow?" He asks.
"Kathrynne and Jason are going to the movies and I'm being forced against my will, so yeah I guess I do have plans." I say, coming up with something. I know Jason and Kat are going to the moves but why the hell would my sister drag me with her? I stop walking as we approach my car.
"Oh well, see ya Monday Penni." He says leaving. Thank God..
I get in my car and drive home. The ten minute drive gives me peace and quiet. And after seven hours of hell and Conner flirting with me, I need it.
When I arrive home I don't bother going in the house I just grab my gym bag and I go out into the woods, one of my favorite places to think. Ok more like stalk. But I don't stalk humans. I stalk mythical creatures. And technically I look for them. Can that even be counted as stalking?
"Penni I swear you're the stupidest person on Earth. Trying to find things that aren't there. Get a new hobby." I mumble to myself as I walk to my favorite tree. It has a short branch so my-five-foot seventeen-year-old-self could easily climb up it. But today I don't climb it. I just sit on the low branch and turn on my iPod.
About an hour passes of me listening to Ed Sheeran on my iPod and watching until anything interesting happen, considering nothing interesting usually happens. I see a figure about ten feet away at least eight foot. He's dressed extremely nicely. A black suit with a blood red tie. But the faceless features catches my attention. Only a small shape of a nose without nostrils. Slender Man, only my least favorite myth. He catches my gaze. Oh fuck, I'm gonna die.
"P-please don't kill me." I whisper, even if I can't see his eyes I know he's looking dead at me, and that scares the living hell out of me.
~Slender Man~
I've been watching her for years. Ever since she was seven and moved into that house. Yes, it is extremely creepy, and yes I should go to Hell for it but I'm Slender Man. It isn't like anybody's going to be finding me that I don't want to find me.
Today she's sitting on the lowest branch on her tree. She's listening to her iPod and just looking out, waiting to see if anything happens. I do not ever let anything happen. Nobody else will even step into these woods, and if they do they regret it forever. But never her. This is her safe place.
I think after ten years of stalking her I should approach her. In exactly two months she'll be eighteen and why wait. The sooner she's away from that mother of hers, the better. She doesn't deserve what I'm at fault for.
I appear about ten feet in front of her, trying really hard not to scare her. Although when your me, that's rather difficult. It takes her a few seconds to notice me. Her eyes widen. Looking if I'm real or just a fragment of her imagination. Finally though she speaks.
"P-please don't kill me." She whispers. I gaze at her a moment longer.
"What makes you think I'll kill you Little Human?" I question her.
She rolls her eyes, sighing before speaking. "Your Slender Man, have you ever let a victim go?" She did have a good point, but I'm not about to let her win.
"No. But most of my meals aren't interesting." I retort. Oh she's going to be a very interesting little human
~Penni~
Damn. What could I say now? He had me. Why doesn't he just kill me? Wouldn't things be easier?
"Hmmm… and why am I interesting?" I question. Probably not the smartest thing to do in front of a creature that could kill me in a second, but what am I supposed to say to Slender Man?
"I don't know Little Bird, you just do."
"Cool. Now I'm gonna go home and ummm… hope I'm not crazy." I say getting my gym bag and heading back to my house. He appears right beside me.
"Soon again Little Bird. Soon." He says and he's gone. Just like that. Great. Now I'm probably crazy. Welcome to Hell Penni, there's no turning back. The voice in the back of my head says. And today I believed her.
Alright, this sucks, I KNOW! I swear I have like eieghteen chapters already written and they get soooo much better and more interesting. Thanks everyone who's reading this! I LOVE YOU! -Vannnah
