The Slender Man kept watching through Seth's window until her parents came to put her to bed. Afraid of being seen, he backed out into the forest once more, and simply strolled the forest looking for a victim; The Slender Man always has room for prey in his stomach. He had very soon felt a presence in the forest and went to investigate. He found that it was indeed Seth, but wasn't she put to bed? She must have snuck out, and she was carrying a flashlight. Slender Man didn't understand at first until he saw her searching for something, and he knew she was looking for the pages. Her mother must have told her about the Slender Man's game of tag. It can even be called a 'summoning ritual', since he'll always appear if you take the pages in his forest. Eventually, he was mindlessly following Seth from a distance until she picks up a note, then he would get closer and closer.
Walking in the woods, Seth was getting bored and started calling out his name.
"Maannn innn blllaackkk...guy I know...with the weird...smile on his face..." Seth stopped calling and found a note on a tree.
"Hey a note..." She went over and picked up the note to read.
"Always watching..." She read off the note, and then put it in her pocket.
"I don't get- he doesn't have any...that doesn't make sense, but okay...moving on!" She continued to walk to the place where the next note is, looking behind her- once in a while-if her friend was there.
The Slender Man clearly heard Seth in the woods, her voice ringing amongst the vast emptiness filled with trees. He didn't understand why she said "weird smile", since he had no mouth. He didn't understand she was joking. He sensed her frail childish hands plucking a note off of a tree, and he got closer to her as she read it over.
Seth jumped a little, hearing noises behind her.
"M-Man in black…?" She said, scared as she turns around and points the flashlight toward Slender.
"Oh…..hi friend…..what are you doing standing there…?" She said giving a smile, until she started seeing static and her head began to throb with pain.
"Owy….my head….." She shook her head and the static got worst.
She turned around and the pain faded away. She started to walk with the note she had to the next one on a damaged carriage. After a bit of walking, she found the carriage and collected the note. It had Slender, and a bunch of 'No's' everywhere on it. She read it over.
"No…? Why no? He is a bad thing? He's my friend….he can't be bad" Collecting the second note, went on to the next one.
As Seth turned to the Slender Man, he knew he was hurting her and he knew for sure it hurt, but he hardly control his ascending closer and closer to Seth as she collected another note. He would just get closer and closer until he'd probably rip her spinal cord out her throat.
Her pain grew larger, the more he came closer. Seth tried to ignore it and head on. To get away from the pain, she decided to do a Speed run Cast. She sighed and put her teddy down under a tree, and then come back for it. She did the hand sighs and her eyes were white,-saying that the cast was activated. She ran straight through the woods, collecting three notes, and then stopped at a healthy oak tree, with beautiful colored red leaves. She put her hand on the tree, panting, looking over the notes and her Cast was now used up.
"6 more, huh? Can't be too hard…..She said to herself. She pointed the flashlight, and went on for the next notes.
