*the next day*
"Are you guys ready?" I asked they nodded and we walked into the forest. We walked for hours before we found a spot that we thought looked ok. "I'll set up the tent" Tanner said "and I'll collect the fire wood" Tracy said soon Tanner had put up the tent "hey tanner could you come with me please I need to get some fire wood and I don't want to be alone" Tracy asked "yeah sure hey Jade you good here alone" Tanner asked he was a nice guy when you got to know him "yeah you guys go ahead" I said he handed me the extra flashlight he brought and then he left. I began messing around with the flashlight flashing it on and off. Suddenly the flashlight wouldn't turn back on "dumb flashlight" I muttered hitting it a few times before it came back on what I saw made my heart drop into my stomach there he was almost as tall as slender man but slightly shorter I was only a few inches in height away from him in a black suit only instead of a black tie like slender man he wore a red tie he seemed to be staring at me "um h-hi I'm J-Jade" he seemed shocked at first then what seemed to be a smile appeared on his none existent face suddenly I heard a booming voice "I'm Slender teen but you can call me slend" he said "o-oh hi slend" I began to take my iPod out to listen to music suddenly a tentacle ripped it from my hands "hey!" I exclaimed his vision went from the iPod to me I shrank back slightly "I-I wasn't going to use the camera I was going to put on some music" I said the tentacle put the iPod back in my pocket "I really should go but I'll see you soon my little proxy" he said disappearing before I could ask what a proxy was. Tracy and Tanner ran over to our campsite panting "d-did you see him he was chasing us" Tracy said "no I um hey I have a question what's a proxy?" I asked "we can talk about this later we need to go like now" Tanner said suddenly I heard that voice again slends voice "go now my dad's coming he must not know that you're my proxy no one must know go now I said go! NOW!" he yelled I picked my stuff up and my friends and I bolted from the forest and into my house "back so soon?" mom asked Tracy and tanner where out of breath I responded "yeah mom can Tracy and tanner spend the night?" "Sure sweetie" she responded we went upstairs and after I shut the door I heard Tracy shriek in terror "h-he's outside" she stuttered running into her brother's arms I walked over to the window and smiled it wasn't slender man it was Slend I waved he smiled and waved back he then disappeared "he's gone Tracy" I said when I looked back at Tracy her face was pale
