The Tale of Mr. Slenderman: Chapter 11
***WARING*** contains gore, language, and violence.
About 3 weeks have passed.
During that time, Abby and I saw, talked to, and hung out with Slenderman frequently.
He was so interesting to talk to.
He and Abby seem to have a real father-daughter relationship going on.
It's sweet actually, he will brush her hair, give her piggy back rides, and she'd swing from his tentacles.
He seemed so misunderstood. Kinda like…. Me.
So this is what it's like to have a friend?
Today he said he wanted to show us something.
"Slenderman, are you here?" I yelled out into the forest.
He quickly stepped from the shadows.
"Hello friends!" he signed. He waved to me.
"Mr. Slenderman!" Abby signed. She ran to him and gave him a hug.
"Hey kiddo, how ya been?" he signed as he swept her up by one of his tentacles.
"So what did you want to show us?" I asked grinning.
"My home! But I have to say, it'll take a bit to get there." He signed.
"That's fine." I said eagerly to see where someone like him lived.
We walked about a mile into the forest till we came upon a tall red shack.
"Well, this is it!" he signed sliding Abby down his tentacle.
We looked weirdly in awe.
I slid my finger down the wall, and the red rubbed off.
I smelled it.
"Blood?" I looked up him.
He nodded, ashamed.
"Cool!" I smiled.
He gave me a fist bump.
Abby gave a confused look, and tugged on his jacket.
"Mr. Slenderman, how do you eat?" she raised a good question.
"I knew one of you would ask this sooner or later." He signed to us.
"Yhea, you don't have a mouth, so I always wondered…" I trailed off.
"Well, it's hard to explain, but perhaps I can show you, here sit down.
We sat down on the dusty floor, and he stepped in front of us, as if giving a presentation.
"Well, unfortunately, I am a demon," he singed as if embarrassed, "and there for have no soul. So what I do is simply eat souls. June, you know that girl you hate so much? Niki?" he asked.
"Yhea, she's a total bitch, why?" I was confused.
"Would you like to see me eat her soul?" he offered.
I paused for a moment.
No fucking way! Best day ever!
"Hell yes!" I was excited now.
One of his tentacles dragged her unconscious body out from a corner.
She looked so harmless passed out.
He took another tentacle, and split her face down the middle.
Instead of blood seeping out, it was a gelatinous blue goop, glowing in quantity.
"Now for the fun part!" he signed looking hungry.
He unbuttoned his coat and a giant mouth with thousands of teeth, sharp as daggers.
It sucked up the soul like cheerios into a vacuum.
It almost looked like it hurt him to eat. Yet the giant mouth was smiling.
It was finally over.
Abigail was just sitting there slapping and laughing, as if she had just seen a magic show.
I have to admit, that was freaky.
Niki's body was laying there in a mushy pile of skin and bones.
Slenderman buttoned up his jacket.
"That was so cool!" Abby signed as he hugged her then propped her up on his shoulders.
"It's getting late," he signed "here, I'll take you home" he took my hand.
We walked for what seemed hours in the dark forest.
We finally reached the edge of the woods.
Abby was asleep on his back.
"Well, before you go, I have a present for each of you." He signed and pulled out a switch blade.
"This is for you, to protect yourself." He put a hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"And this is for Abby." He handed me a teddy bear.
He put Abby on my shoulders and attempted to kiss her head.
He slipped the bear under her arm, and patted me on the head.
"Get home safe." He signed.
I was about to cry, someone finally cared.
