Chapter 3: Billy's Dilly Dallying
Billy began to go play hide and seek as Mandy had to do the rest of the job in finding the other pages.
"Hide and seek, hide and seek, now to count to one hundred, one, two, three, uh, gee what comes after three?" thought Billy to himself.
"Four?" replied Slenderman as he was right behind him.
"Hey, you didn't give me time to count, I want to do it again!" cried Billy.
"Why should I?" asked Slenderman.
"Cause I'll do something like this" said Billy as he started to make some annoying sounds.
As for Grim, he caught up with Mandy with his page detector.
"Hey, Mandy, I brought me page detector" laughed Grim, "it'd help us detect the other remaining pages from Slenderman! Hey, where the heck is Billy?"
"He's busy distracting Slenderman" continued Mandy.
"Time to get those other pages" laughed Grim.
As Grim turned on the page detector, Slenderman was getting frustrated with Billy.
"Okay, I'll let you have another chance if you'll stop making all that noise!" roared Slenderman.
"This time I want you to turn the other way around and don't look for me until about a an hour!" laughed Billy.
"Oh this is going to be harder than I thought" sighed Slenderman.
Slenderman waited for an hour in the dark for Billy, he began to look at his watch and pace a bit.
"Well it looks like it has been an hour now, let's see where that kid went" laughed Slenderman.
Slenderman typically felt he could find Billy in the forest, but as he began to look at the usual locations where he could find his victims, Billy was nowhere to be found, he looked high and low for Billy.
"Darn, hmm, maybe I should wait until he has found a page or two" laughed Slenderman.
Indeed, Mandy had found another page along with Grim.
"Yea, four down, another four to go!" laughed Grim.
Suddenly Slenderman appeared before the two.
"So, you two have been using Billy to distract me, interesting" laughed Slenderman, "but that won't save you now, at least it won't save Mandy!"
"Run Mandy, it makes no sense to stay and fight!" cried Grim.
"I thought the point was to trap Slenderman!" cried Mandy as she began to run with Grim.
"Oh, are kidding me!" cried Grim, "Even with all of me powers, there is nothing more powerful than Slenderman!"
Grim and Mandy raced away from Slenderman as fast as they could, Slenderman knew he was catching up with them pretty fast.
"Ha, I am going to get ya!" laughed Slenderman.
But as Slenderman continued to chase those two, Billy who was hiding in the bushes, didn't know he had put his foot out and ended up tripping Slenderman.
"Hey, you found me!" laughed Billy.
"So does that mean I can take you?" asked Slenderman.
"No silly, that means I have to find you!" laughed Billy, "Means you have to go hide and seek!"
"Oh, I was afraid he was going to say that oh well, I am going to go hide and seeking that way" laughed Slenderman pointing to where Grim and Mandy ran off.
"Okie dokie" laughed Billy, "I'll count to a thousand!"
Slenderman thought that'd be enough time for him to get even with Mandy and Grim who had ran off, Slenderman headed off in the area where they were located.
"Okay, we still need to find four more pages" said Grim, "and get this over with."
"I found one" said Mandy as she was trying to catch her breath.
"Come on, don't fail on me now girl" said Grim.
Slenderman soon appeared right behind Mandy.
"Hi Grim, I am going to take your friend now" laughed Slenderman.
Suddenly Slenderman felt something grabbing him.
"Found you!" laughed Billy.
"But, I thought you were going to count to a thousand!" cried Slenderman.
"I did!" laughed Billy.
"He doesn't know his numbers right" replied Grim.
"I want you to play hide and seek, with me hiding this time!" laughed Billy.
"Again, please this time can I take you if I find you?" asked Slenderman.
"Only if you play another round before that" replied Billy.
"Oh that'd be wonderful!" laughed Slenderman.
Slenderman then turned around hoping that it'd give Billy the chance to head off.
"Come on Mandy, Billy's stupidity gave us the slip" said Grim as they headed off to search for the remaining three pages.
As both Grim and Mandy headed off, Mandy soon found another page.
"Great, we're down to just finding the remaining two" said Grim, "but knowing how long Slenderman will give his word, it won't be soon enough for him to find Billy."
Slenderman was indeed looking for Billy again, this time proved to be more difficult for Slenderman.
"Where the heck could he be?" said Slenderman who was getting annoyed.
"Can't see me, can't see me" laughed Billy who had covered himself in mud.
"I hate to see what he's covered it, I hope it's mud and not something stinky" said Slenderman.
"Can't see me, I'm invisible!" laughed Billy.
"I can see you" said Slenderman.
"Well what I rolled myself in wasn't mud" laughed Billy.
"Yuck!" cried Slenderman, "Clean yourself up, seriously, that's gross!"
"Aw come on" said Billy who wanted to touch Slenderman.
"No, get away!" cried Slenderman.
Slenderman knew he had to stop Mandy and Grim from getting the two remaining pages as it'd be the only way to get away from Billy.
