Chapter 11
The flashlight hit the floor with a heavy clack, everyone frozen in their places.
The girls were frozen in fear, Janey whimpering while Donna stood with her mouth hanging.
Zack was frozen in disbelief, his blue eyes sunk back into his head.
But Jim…
Jim was frozen in awe, the smile on his face growing bigger by the minute. Holding his camera up to the being, he laughs out loud.
"Amazing…so fucking amazing!" He keeps recording, the being turning his attention to him.
"I have my proof! I will finally prove to the world! That the Slenderman is real! He's real and I'm the guy to get the footage!"
Of course, he didn't know that his camera was going haywire at this point.
Slenderman tilts his head towards the laughing boy; a tendril slowly moves towards his form, blending in with the darkness of the room.
Heather whimper in fear behind the girls, her breathing panicked and quick at the feeling of his evil presence.
The bluenette stood tall, Janey desperately attempted to hide the poor girl from his demon appearance...
Even though she as well wanted to hide away from him and never be detected. The migraine in her head was going crazy, his mere presence sending waves of pain into her brains. But she stood there, blocking the shivering ravenette from the tall beast, and daring to keep eye contact.
'G-Go away…Go away!'
Donna quickly searched the floor for the flashlight, the darkness making her feel venerable.
Zack looks on in growing fear, backing away towards the caved in-door. He never looked away from Slenderman, panic reaching his beating heart.
"Jim…back away from him."
The blonde turns to his brother, a wide grin plastered on his face. "C'mon dude! Why aren't you celebrating?!"
The camera was the only light at the time, and the others could clearly see a tendril sneak up on the oblivious boy's body.
Zack turns his gaze to Jim, seeing the camera crumble to the ballistic and wild static.
Starting to reach out with his hand towards him, the redhead felt his heart thumped wildly as he began to fear for his brother's life.
"Jim…get AWAY from him!"
"No way man!" The younger boy laughs in excitement. "I'm gonna be rich! Do you hear me?! I'm gonna be fucking ri—"
"SiLLy MorTal…"
Before Zack could reach him and yank the blonde back, the tendril wraps around the boy's waist and yanks Jim into the darkness.
Zack stared in horror as the camera dropping to the ground, static still appearing on the screen.
"JIM!"
He only gets answers of pathetic whimpers echoing in the blackness of the room.
Then, a diabolical laughter echoes around them, becoming louder and more demonic with amusement.
It surrounds the group, striking dread in the hearts of their souls.
"yOu CaN't EsCAPe…"
The whimpering grows louder, more desperate as crunching sounds began echoing.
"I'LL AlwaYs FinD yOu…"
Jim's pathetic whining turn into cries of pain.
Around them in the darkness, the group was powerless as their ears were subjected to the sounds of his ultimate demise.
His cries turn into screams of pain as the sick satisfying snapping of bones filled the air. Ripping sounds penetrate Zack's ears as he's forced to listen to Slenderman ripped his brother apart.
"Oh GOD, IT HURTSS!" He screams in sheer agony, his voice becoming more and more distorted. "IT HURTTSSS!"
Zack grips his fists in bubbling anger: "YOU BASTARD!"
More sicken laughter filled the air, fusing with the horrid mincing of the boy's life.
It all sounded so monstrous...so demonic and unearthly...
"pRoTEST aLL YoU WanT…"
Slenderman croaks with amusement, the dying of Jim music to his sadistic nature.
"YoU wILL aLL sUFfER!"
Donna yanks the flashlight and jumps up, relief in her features for a bit.
"I got it!" She flashes the light forward before blood splats across her face.
Her smile faltered weakly, not really knowing what just happened.
"O-Oh god…"
Blood flows down like a waterfall, Jim's body mutilated and torn as it lays limp in bony white hands. Dark blood spilled to the floor, spreading along the cold stone towards the others.
Zack watched his feet, seeing the crimson stain his shoes slowly before trailing his eyes slowly up the slender being to his brother...
One tendril had a tight grip around the dead boy's ripped torso while another took hold of his mangled legs.
His heart felt like bursting at that moment, as his breathing quickened, growing louder and panicked as his mouth quivered.
"No..."
Jim's torso hung upside down, blonde hair was stained red and fluids dripping to the floor.
"NO..."
His mouth hang open lazily, blood slipping down his face as his blue eyes stared at his brother...
Dead and cold...
"NO! JIM!"
Donna tried to hold Zack back while Janey protected Heather's shaking form. Her own breathing was quick, her eyes wide in fear.
Crunching sounds echoed from his head, and the palish skin moves grossly as Slenderman swallows his heart.
He doesn't bother to wipe away the blood on his face, raising a crimson strained hand towards the cowering teens.
With such deadly grace, he raises a thing bony finger, blood dripping in large drops. He points towards Janey, making her heart drop.
"TiS tIMe, ChiLd…"
He slithered towards them, tentacles aiming to kill them all.
"NoW…GIVE ME YOUR SOUL!"
Donna, on instinct, chucks the flashlight at him with force, her face as panicked as the rest of them.
As it bounced off his head, she tosses Heather over her shoulder and grabs Janey's wrist, swinging them towards the stair well.
"C'MON!"
She pushes Janey through and trails after her, Zack not far behind. The tendrils shoot at them, breaking through the rest of the door and trailing upwards towards their retreating forms.
They raced up the staircase, slithering tendrils gaining on them. Janey pumps her legs hard, her breathe hitched as she made her way up to the first floor.
Light shines through as the ebony bluenette lunges out from the stairs, Donna and Heather right behind her. They fall to the ground in a grunt, Heather falling over them.
Zack was making his way up, the tendrils gaining towards his heels.
He almost makes it to the doorway before a tendril grabs him.
"N-NO!"
He grabs onto the frame with a vice grip, pleading for the girls to help. Donna rushes to yank him forward, but more tendrils wrap around him in a tight grip.
They pull him back while his hand grips onto Donna's tight. Even though she tries in vain to pull him back, they prove to be too strong for her.
The black tendrils yank back, ripping the red haired boy away; in the process, his skin tears and blood gushes as his wrist ripped apart, causing Zack to grit in suffering.
A loud cracking of bones and hand is ripped from his body. Donna stares in terror as his wailing body in pulled back into the darkness, his hand still clinging onto hers.
Suddenly, tendrils shot out to grab her; Donna falls back as one grabs her ankle, and Janey immediately slams the door on it. Breathing heavily, she grabs a wooden shard and stab into the flesh limb. It gushes black goo and let's go, flailing around under the weight of the door.
The girls step back, looking at the door as tendrils pounded against it...
The sudden snorting made them gaze around in fright as more laughter started again.
Quickly, Donna grabs Heather and runs out, Janey following after with the darkness taking over the shack.
They race out the front door and towards the clearing they came from.
The laughter echoed louder, becoming more distorted, more insane.
"yOu tHiNk YoU Can esCAPe ME?!"
They ran faster into the dark woods; fear was the only feeling alive in their body.
"YoU ThInK yOu cAN hide?"
Everything whizzed past them; the darkness seemed to continue on and on…his voice echoed in their minds, mocking them as they ran through the forest.
"RuN, Run…"
Janey whimpered as she tried to run even faster.
"… aS FaSt As yOu cAn…"
Donna huffed in tiredness, but her mind pushed her to keep going.
"…I'LL alWAYs fINd YoU…"
Heather laid slump on Donna's back, her silent pleads sobbed into the brunette's shirt.
"…I'm slENDerMaN…"
