"Okay, so Noah and Rachel just called me a while ago and they're in New York now", Vince told me and Jeff as we all sat in his basement. "Noah said him and Rach' will be here on Saturday and that they'll let us know when they're on the train here".

"That's good. Maybe the stuff Habit gave them will give us an idea what to do", Jeff said.

"At the moment I doubt that", I muttered as I inhaled my cigarette.

"It's all we got at the moment", Vince sighed. "So, is there anything else we need to talk about?"

"Habit's posted up his final task on Twitter", I stated. "It does'nt even make sense. Just something about the last five, keeping their bodies breathing, or something along those lines".

"Really?"

"Yep", I replied in a dull tone. "Sounds pretty threatening though if you ask me".

"Where's Evan?", Jeff suddenly asked.

"Err, I think he's with Steph-"

"No, he can't be", I cut Vince off. "Steph said she was going to visit a friend out of town for the week. Remember?"

"Oh. Right".

"So, no one knows where Evan is?", Jeff asked slowly, the look on his face seemed as if he was piecing together a puzzle.

"Well... No". Vince and I both nodded before Vince asked, "why?"

"Well, is it just me or does... Does something seem a bit off with Evan lately?", Jeff questioned us both.

"Well, in all fairness Evan's always been a bit... weird, to put it lightly", I pointed out before taking another drag from my cigarette.

"I know, but seriously, I think something's wrong with him", Jeff told us.

"I know the viewers are saying things but-"

"They've always been looking out for us", Jeff cut Vince off quickly. "Sure, one or two are idiots, but the majority are helping us as best they can and I don't think they would have brought this up if they did'nt think it was serious".

"Well, now that you mention it...", I trailed off before Vince groaned in annoyance.

"C'mon guys, we can't start turning on eachother".

"I don't think Jeff's trying to suggest that", I said before Jeff could speak. "I think what he means is that if something is wrong with Evan, we should have some caution".

"He's our friend!"

"Look, I trust him, and the both of you...", I gestured to both Vince and Jeff. "...With my life. Hell, I love you all like your my brothers. But I have to agree with Jeff somewhat".

"Don't you think it's weird that the same time Habit started Tweeting, Evan got a laptop?", Jeff brought up. "I just seems a bit too... coincidental".

"Your both worrying over nothing", Vince grumbled. He was clearly suppressing the urge to start yelling at us both, though I could'nt help but consider that he was really trying to convince himself everything was okay. "Let's just... Let's just talk about something else".

"Sure, sure", I mumbled as I put my cigarette out in my glass which was empty except for some ash. "So, who's going to go pick Noah and Rach' from the train station?"

"Er, I was going. I was thinking we could all go together", Vince said.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure if I can leave Alex alone for too long", Jeff said.

"Well, he could still go. I mean, we're going to your place right Vinnie? So I can just walk", I said with a small shrug.

"You sure?", Vinnie asked.

"Yeah. I'm sure".

"Well, okay then. If you say so".

"Also, are we going to be doing anything with them on Sunday? Because I have to go to New York that day to visit my mom", I told Vince.

"I doubt it so you don't have anything to worry about".

Well, Saturday night soon came. I was in my living room, playing a bit on my piano. The guys were undoubtedly on their way to the trainstation by now. Maybe they're there already and on their way to Vince's?

Looking at my watch, I decided I could stay for an another half hour, then I'd head over to Vince's place. I was'nt really in too much of a rush anyway.

But I noticed something reflecting off of the wood of the piano. I could'nt make it out too well, but it seemed to be coming from outside ny window. I slowed my playing to a stop and quickly turned my head to look behind me.

But there was no one there.

I swallowed as I stood up and walked to the window and looked outside. There was nothing outside as far as the streetlights could let me see. I walked away from the window and grabbed the camera I had resting on the coffee table and walked up the stairs. Maybe it could'nt hurt to start packing.

When I had gotten upstairs, I looked at the door that led to what was Eve's room. I'm not sure why but I felt a need to go inside and look.

It looked the same as it did the day Eve died. None of her clothes had been removed. None of her books and others possessions. It was pretty much frozen in time I suppose you could say.

I walked over to the window and looked at the back garden to see nothing imperticular. It was the same old, same old. A tree, grass, some shrubs. Nothing really made it unique. I broke my attention from the garden for a few seconds when I broke into a small coughing fit but when I looked back up I felt my soul leave my body as I saw that a new figure was standing in my back garden.

Slenderman.

"N-no. No fucking way", I mumbled as I stepped away from the window. My breath became a bit heavy and I quickly ran to my room and shut the door behind me.

"Gotta the fuck out of here!", I muttered as I quickly took my phone out of my pocket and dialed Jeff's number quickly. "C'mon, pick up, pick up". It felt like forever before Jeff answered. "Jeff, where the hell is Vince?", I asked quickly, not waiting for Jeff to say anything. I tried not to sound panicked but I pretty much failed there.

"Claire, calm down a se-"

"Where's Vince?", I cut Jeff off looking out of my window nervously and glancing at my door.

"What?"

"For fu- Where the fucking hell is Vince damn it!"

"Well, he's driving right no-"

"Tell him I have to go to his house tonight", I interrupted again as I pulled a backpack out of my closet.

"Can't you go to-"

"He's closer!", I snapped. I did'nt have time for bullcrap.

"Oh", Jeff was all Jeff said.

"Are you going to tell him or not?", I resisted the urge to yell since I did'nt want the panic I was feeling to rule over my thoughts.

"C-calm dow-"

"Just tell him, please".

"Okay I'll tell him, I guess", Jeff said. I could faintly make out talking before I froze as I heard a noise downstairs. However Jeff's returning voice brought me back.

"Um, Vince says okay but why-"

"How far away are you from Vince's?", I asked quickly, wanting to get out of here as fast as I could.

"Uh, I think we're about twenty five minutes away from-"

"See if you can go faster!", I said as I looked out my window once more.

"What?"

"You heard me!", I said before moving the phone away from my ear.

"What's going on? Do you want us to pick you u-" But I ended the call before I let Jeff finish. I then started to pack as quickly as I could. I just grabbed some spare clothes incase I stayed at Vince's place longer then expected. Now let's see. Clothes, got 'em. Cigarettes, got 'em. Lighter, got it. Medicine...

Fuck.

They were'nt in my room, so I must have my spare bottle in the bathroom. After a small search of the medicine cabinet, I found them a stuffed them in my pocket.

"Okay. Time to go", I muttered to myself before I moved swiftly down the stairs, my backpack hoisted on my back and my camera in my hand. But when I got off the stairs I suddenly felt a huge pain in my headand fell onto my knees. It was like there was a fire hurricane in my skull. I looked towards the kitchen and saw the Slenderman standing there, his non-face facing towards me with his head tilted. I nearly struggled to get back on my feet,. dropping the camera as I stumbled to the door, trying to unlock it while trying to ignore the pain that seemed to get worse.

Looking behind me briefly, I saw that the Slenderman was halfway in the hall now, still looking at me. I breathing got ragged as I fumbled with the lock.

I managed to open it and forced my way outside and locked the door after myself before I quickly stumbled down the steps and ran across my lawn to the pavement. I thought I heard someone calling me, but I did'nt stop out of fear of who or what it could have been.

"Claire, slow down damn it!"

Wait, was that-

I then collapsed to the ground and broke into a coughing fit.

"Fucks sake, what the hell happened?" I looked up and saw Evan crouching down next to me. He grabbed my arms and forced me to sit up as I countinued to cough and slapped my back.

"What was that call about?", I looked over and saw Vince and Jeff just coming over.

"He- he was in my garden and-"

"Who?", Vince aksed.

"You damn well know who!", I snapped before I stared coughing again. "He just showed up in my hall too".

"You serious?", Jeff questioned.

"Do you really think I'm going to make this shit up?"

"Look, let's just get you in the car. Okay?", Vince mumbled as he helped me stand back up. "Need help to the car?"

"No, I'm fine".

"That means yes", Evan dryly joked and I scowled briefly as Vince put my arm around his shoulder to help me to the car. I guess I should be thankful though. My legs did feel a bit weird.

Seeing dark, curly-ish hair and long, blonde hair was a clear sign that Noah and Rachel were right there outside the car. I felt a bit embarresed that my meeting with them was'nt as smoothe as it probably was with the others.

"You gonna okay?", Evan asked me as we got to the car and Vince hesitantly let me go.

"Yeah, let's just...let's just get to Vince's place", I mumbled as I walked over to the back seats and sat down. It was weird how my legs seemed slightly better now, so quickly, but I was going to wait untill we got to Vince's place before I made myself certain of this.

"Well, since Claire's in the car we may need to find a way to fit all of us in", Vince said as he looked at the car in thought.

"Rachel can just sit on my lap", Noah said simply as Jeff and Alex got in.

"Wait, what?", Rachel asked, looking surprised and embarressed when Noah suggested that.

"C'mon", Noah said as pulled the blonde onto his lap before she could protest. I could'nt help but smile a bit. It was so obvious (to me at least) that they had a 'thing' for eachother.

Hopefully they'll have a better ending then me and Seth.
