Sophia's Perspective
"What?" I asked, not quite understanding what he was saying.
James elaborated for him, "Well, you started acting really weird and scary. Then you got smacked with a tree branch. Then you woke up, and didn't remember anything," He explained.
I frowned, confused, "What are you talking about?"
James explained in more detail what happened to me.
I turned paler, "We have to go! What if He's here?"
TJ and James jumped into action, and we all ran for the forest entrance.
I didn't dare look back, but James was stupid enough to, "HOLY SHIT! IT'S HIM! RUN!" He screamed.
Instinctively, I turned back to see what he was screaming about. There, next to the tree, stood a tall, faceless man, in a black business suit.
I screamed in sheer terror.
We all ran even faster. We burst out of the woods, and hopped on our bikes. I swear to God, I've never pedaled so fast in my life.
None of us dared look back, much less talk to each other. Without a word, James turned on to his own road.
Once TJ and I got back to our houses, we hurried inside. I put my bike away, and went to the front door. I fumbled with my keys for a second, but when I went to put it in the lock, I found it strangely unlocked.
I was so freaked out that I didn't even question it. I just ran inside, shut the door, and locked it.
I wasted no time going to my room and hiding under the covers. I couldn't get that face out of my head, or I suppose blank expression, since the Slenderman doesn't have a face.
It was terrifying, but oddly exhilarating. I mean, it wasn't every day you ran into an interdimensional monster. There was a kind of excitement, a thrum in my bones that could only be described as something primal.
The fear mixed with the excitement mixed with the determination burned in my soul. It was an intoxicating mixture. A sort of tingling sensation.
I laughed at the line from Jeff's story popping up in my mind. It was ridiculous, relating to a fictional, poorly written, slasher.
My mind suddenly turned serious, as I rethought the word fictional. If The Slenderman was real, then could that mean that they were all real? Jeff, Jane, Clockwork, Ticci Toby, Eyeless Jack, and the others.
I suddenly got a gut feeling that we were part of something much deeper than could be imagined.
Because if the Creepypastas were real…
That means we just invited them in.
