Ch 4: I understand if you want to leave?

Last night mad me the happiest creature in this world or any other world, Diana somehow manage to give me one reason to trust a human, and only one human and that was her. i had to see her again, she was like a drug to me that I could not get enough of.

"Good morning Jeff" I said to him as he left the teen looked at me like i was some sort of stranger "ok who are you and what have you done with slenderman"

I shrugged at him as I walked into the kitchen to get my morning coffee; even we monsters need something to wake us up in the morning. "It's me Jeff, I'm just in a good mood today that's all" Jeff gave off a sarcastic laugh "since when are you in a good mood" I ignored his comment and walked to the table thinking of what me and Diana would do the next time we meet.

That afternoon I had nothing to do Jeff was playing Xbox or whatever type of game system he would stare at for next 5 hours until it was time for him to do his field test...again!.

So without anything to do I just roamed around the woods near town, so if I did see Diana we could talk if she had the time"

"Hey Slendy" I looked over to were the voice came from it was Diana right beside me smiling. "Diana, how did yo..." she places a finger on my empty face to were my mouth would be. " did you forget the picnic that we planned for this morning before you left last night" she said.

"Picnic?"

-Flashback-

"It won't I promise"

I downed the rest of the wine and headed out the window but stopped and looked back at Diana "you know we should have a picnic in the morning"

She smiled seeing that the wine took a toll of me "ok where"

"At that place...what you humans call...a... park that's it". I said to her and stumbled down her fire escape and back to my mansion.

-End of flash back-

"Oh man how much wine did i drink last night" she giggled at me, "come on, i got away to make it up to you"

...

"soooo, where are we going" she asked me,

"We're almost there" I told her as I had her follow me deeper and deeper into the woods

I stopped at a few bushes that were too tall for Diana to look over "were her" I told her, she seemed to think I was joking as she looked at the bushes

"Umm there nice bushes"

"Well.." I said to her and moved one of the bushes a little so she could see the cave that was hiding behind the shrub, it was filled with water with a small patch of land at the center, the cave had a small opening at the top were light shined and aluminate the water.

"oh wow...this is...is...amazing" Diana told me in amazement as she saw the blue and white lights seem to dance onto the caves wall.

"I come here when I want to be alone, this is the only place were I could find beauty in the world of darkness" she looked at me and smiled, my heart skipped a beat and I felt an emotion that I have never felt before in my life. And I couldn't say anything I could only look into her green eyes.

I snapped out of this trance when I heard something coming towards us all that I could think was that one of the monsters would find us and would report this to Zalgo, i turned ready to fight I was not going to lose Diana again, but as I turned I saw...a rabbit.

"Wow easy there I don't think that bugs bunny's going to hurt you" she said "what's wrong"

I shrugged "its nothing" I picked her up and started to walk her to the small island that was surrounded by water in the cave; I didn't want her to get wet.

"Thank you Slendy" she said to me as I set her on the green grass, she looked around the cave her eyes filled with happiness and bliss "how often do you come here" she asked

"About 2, 3 times a week" I told her as I sat down beside her "that many, how come" she asked me with a concern look on her face.

"well I bet you heard story's that say I'm a killer and that I do what do for fun it right" I told her almost ashamed to even have said that about myself.

"I have" she said

"Well I'm not...I mean I am but….. I...look. after I started to work or zalgo 200 years ago I need to kill for him, I have no choice to kill" I am afraid to continue of what would she think of me "not only that but I need to meet a quota for zalgo ...that why I come here to forget of what I haft to do" there was a pause for what seemed like hours to me i could even look at her at that moment. "I understand if you want to leave"

"You know" she started "what if I don't want to leave"

"What" I said shocked at what she said

"I don't want to leave Slendy, even if you kill people I don't care, you were my only friend I ever had and you never killed me" she reached into her pocket and handed me an old white cloth it was. It was my handkerchief that I gave her as a little girl.

"You...you kept this" I chuckled "after all those years" I unfolded it to see that there was a and old handmade doll...it..it looked like me.

"I made that the day I got upset and ran into the house as a little girl, I didn't talk to you because I thought you were mad at me doing that" she held my hand again " I made that so I could feel like you were with me no matter where I went"

I felt something wet slide down my face I wiped it to see, that it was tears "slendy are you alright your crying" she asked

Crying? How could I be? I have never cried before even when Diana left all those years ago I was saddened but I never cried but these tears were not of sadness.

"To be honest" I said "I've never been so happy"
