Chapter 12-The Terrible Wrath of Slenderman
"We got ye now," yelled the men coming near to her. She was trapped. She swung her tentacle at the nearest man, hitting him, but more men came closer to her in a leering grin. It was over now, she could feel it…
"Don't touch me…!" she yelled as she covered her eyes and crouched in a corner away from the men…" it was over now…
"Says who little girly?" said one of the men in front of her
"Says me," snarled a familiar voice behind them.
Lyra sprang her eyes open, and the heads of all the men turned around chuckling…only to have their expressions filled in horror.
Slenderman stood at the doorway impressively with his slender legs apart looking at the men who were frozen in fear. Even though he was faceless, he seemed to implement a daunting silhouette that chilled even the bravest man. Lyra's heart leaped in her chest joyfully seeing him come to her rescue; she quickly darted away unbeknownst to the men who were staring at him open-mouthed in terror.
"You dare touch the woman I love?" he snarled again, and for full effect that seemed to tear the entire house apart he thundered in a voice that vibrated the entire house; "NOW YOU SHALL PAY-COWER IMPUDENT SCUM!" All eight tentacles from his back sprouted out.
It was at this moment that Lyra finally understood the reason what made Slenderman so horrifying that had men scramble away from him all these years…because at this moment, she would witness his very wrath that would terrorize all to the point of insanity.
He fell down on them like a terrible storm.
In a flurry of flash like a terrifying spirit, he flay the men mercilessly with his tentacles that repeatedly rose in the air, striking them like lightning, his body moving in gorgeously cruel positions. The men screamed, trying to protect themselves as they scrambled out of their way to escape the menace that was ongoing. They grabbed any weapons they found-daggers-shields-plates…even a broom, hopelessly trying to fight the terrible monster that had appeared on their doorway like a terrible demon…the one who would put justice to this entire ordeal-but to no avail; for Slenderman, outraged with his blood boiling, teeming the rest of his body on fire, was bloodthirsty at this moment. Lyra lay huddled in a corner to stay away from the fighting as she covered her ears from the terrible screams.
The air was filled with ripping sounds-human flesh was torn apart from the men's very bodies! The tentacles as well as Slenderman's arms resembled claws now- the air was filled with the scent of blood as it came gushing…no-squirting in all directions unchecked as the howls and shrieks were the only discernible noise that tore the night air. The sound was so horrifying and disturbing that Lyra shut her eyes and ears as much as she could…but she could still hear the piercing yells as they rang in her ears…
The men gave up hopeless and with terror as they abandoned any sign of fighting, scrambling over each other to get away and injuring their fellow friends in the process. The complete disarray and confusion of the men being torn apart was everywhere-bodies flying, decapitated men still standing before dropping dead- the blood running profusely over the floor that was covered in crimson blood; Yet the Slenderman came at them with an expression too terrible for human eyes to look at. He didn't stop his bloodthirsty frenzy as his body twisted in wild positions and impaled limbs left and right, but only after the screams that split the night air from the men were too unrecognizable to be distinguished between animal or human…
And then it suddenly stopped.
There were no more screams, no more men, and no more bodies, though they were so terribly slashed to a pulp that they were destroyed beyond recognition. There was dead silence
"Lyra?"
Lyra opened her eyes to find herself looking at Slenderman, whose face was bloody from the frenzy. His face was no longer terrible…but of a concerned tenderness. His suit, however, looked immaculate, probably because it repelled any blood that flew unchecked from what was left of the men. But next second, when she looked up, his face was just as clean, void of any blood.
She flung herself at him crashing her lips against his as the Slenderman wrapped her in a tight embrace. His hand was around her head while the other gently around her back (his tentacles had disappeared), pulling their bodies together…
Suddenly Lyra opened her eyes from this heaven to find her aunt peering in terror at the pair of them. Her aunt, she noticed, held a dagger as though preparing to fight for her life.
"Auntie you're ok!"
She broke away from her lover's arms to dash forward to her aunt. "It's ok, we're alright, the men are gone! There's no need to worry!" Her Aunt, shocked for a moment suddenly threw aside the dagger and scrambled down the stairs with arms open for a tight embrace. Aunt Rose's body wracked with uncontrollable sobs.
"Oh…Lyra…oh Lyra…" She pulled her head from her shoulder to look at her niece. "Are the terrible men gone? Who is he?"
She motioned to Slenderman, scared that he would hurt her; but Slenderman only chuckled and brought his head to a polite bow and crossed one arm over his chest as he did so, "Good evening Madam Capricorne, I come with polite intentions-please forgive my appearance from earlier, the pleasure is all mine."
Her Aunt Rose blinked for a moment before relaxing, realizing that he meant no harm. "N…no by all means, the pleasure is all mine…" she said weakly, then faltered, "I…ah…sir…who are you?"
Lyra responded before he could with a smile. She pushed her dark hair from her eyes and said earnestly, "Aunt, you don't need to sound scared, he was only trying to protect us…his name is Slend-Colin. Colin Silvestri: My friend and my lover."
Her Aunt seemed too taken aback to respond, but when she found her voice, all she could say was, "Your…your lover..?"
Yes Aunt, I love him very much-you have no idea how many times he has saved me from death." She looked up lovingly at him at which he returned right back. Then something escaped her brain and she turned to Slenderman, horrified.
"Fausto-I mean, the leader of the group-he was nowhere near here…He fled!" she gasped out. "I have to find him!"
Slenderman put both his hands on her shoulder, and bending his head to look down at her wide, gorgeous emerald orbs determinedly.
"Then we'll do it-together, and give him what he deserves!"
The story isn't over yet! Stay tuned to find what will happen to Fausto! :D
