-Chapter Three-
Victoria groaned as she rolled to her side, burying her face in her soft pillows.
Everything hurt, the kind of hurt when you recover from the flu and it spreads through your veins. It drew another groan from the irritated young woman as she fought to roll onto her side and drag herself out of bed. Inwardly she wished it was the weekend, but the angry blare of the alarm told her this wasnt the case. How unfortunate.
Bedraggled she barely managed to free herself from the duvet cocoon, trudging towards the bathroom and flicking on the light.
Splashing water from the sink onto her grungy feeling skin, her memories slowly caught up. The woods... pages.. man... bit-
She jumped and grabbed the towel, drying her face hurriedly and glancing at her neck in the mirror. Her jaw dropped in shock as she realized it hadnt been some crazy dream. However instead of teeth marks there sat a odd tattoo like marking shaped like a circle with an X through it. She brushed her fingers over the mark and trembled with the memory of the bite. She blinked slowly and raised her eyes and nearly scream, the sight of the faceless man positioned just behind her in the mirror startling her. It was hard to tell but she was pretty certain he was amused, and this fact proven by his low chuckle made her glare slightly.
"A tattoo? How the... why a tattoo?!"
Slenderman seemed a little taken aback by her bold question but as always he remained expressionless save for the slight tilt of his head. "It is my mark, not a simple tattoo..." Her face screwed up in disbelief. "Greeeeat. Okay wise guy, why a mark then!" She huffed turning to face him and jumping slightly. She hadnt realized he was so close and actually had to crane her neck slightly to meet his... nonexistent gaze. She wasnt sure how tall he was, bt it was enough that the top of his head when straightened just barely kissed the ceiling. More than enough to irritate the shorter girl.
"I have marked you, as agreed, as my apprentice."
Victoria stared at him for a long time, stunned by the proclamation. His apprentice? She remembered her wish from the night before and her frown eased some. "So... I have powers now?" she queried as she eased past him, dragging a brush through her hair. If she didnt get ready soon she would be late.
"Untrained but correct... you have inherited at least some of my own powers. Which ones I am unsure of but I would assume all of them would be accessible to some degree."
He stood in the bathroom frame as Victoria moved around the room, fixing herself up. "I see..." her expression was thoughtful. "So what would those be and how do I learn how to use them? Im assuming your going to teach me?" she spared the tall man a glance.
"My own powers consist of Teleportation, Alteration of the Psych, Summoning Tendrils, Height Change, and various sub talents." All the while as he spoke Victoria watch the slight shift of the mouth split with slight awe where others would have felt fear. It moved so subtly that it was easy to miss, easy to think he wasnt using a mouth at all. Victoria shook her head and refocus when she realized a silence had stretched between them for some time.
"Some of those sound pretty cool... Im not sure I like the idea of tentacles... but I wouldnt mind getting a little taller.." she cracked a tiny smile at her joke. "Now turn around I need to dress." she huffed and waited until the immortal beings back was to her before peeling off her clothing.
By the time she was done getting ready she risked a glance at the clock and nearly fainted. She was going to be so late! She needed to hurry! She felt panic set in and spun to Slenderman.
Everything became all blurry as she spun and she stumbled. Firm hands steadied her and she pressed a palm to her eyes with a groan. "Whoa easy there Tori..." A silken British accent washed over her. An uncomfortably familiar one at that.
Her eyes widened as she took in the familiar school halls and her crushes puzzled expression. "Are you alright?" he repeated as he reluctantly released her. She nodded, mute, and after a moment he shrugged and continued on.
Somehow, as much as she tried not to believe it, she had teleported.
She had teleported to school.
