Hello again. I'm sorry that I haven't updated this story for a while. But let's get right into this, shall we?

Enjoy!

Chapter 3: The Slender sickness?

I was standing in the middle of a forest. It was big, but yet seemed like the darkest and creepiest place of the world. Everything was pitching black, the trees were leafless and surrounding them was nothing but darkness and silence.

Every step of mine made quiet footstep sound, and my knee-length pure white dress flowed along with my step. Every step of mine seemed to bring something closer to me, which caused me shiver.

Suddenly, there was a figure, very high figure. His face was pale and blank, and he was wearing a black suit with a black tie. He was walking toward me very slowly. I saw him, I was about to run, but my feet seemed to be so scared that they were frozen in their place.

He approached me, closer and closer by every minute. As I looked at him, he spoke up with its invisible mouth.

"We will meet one day."

My eyes snapped open as I sat up very quickly. I was sweating so hard that my face was wet, and heavy breath came from my moth to my hands, which were gripping to the blanket. My head was a bunch of messy hair. I put one hand over my beating heart to calm it down.

"That… that was a nightmare… A terrible nightmare…" I huffed heavily. "What is going on with me…? I've had enough of all those craps and now I had this nightmare… about the man I recently caught sight of!"

Flashback from the day they played "Slenderman"…

"No, it's just… I felt someone was watching us."

"Weird, I don't feel anything… Come on Konna, maybe it was just your imagination, or it was because you're scared of the scary atmosphere of the game 'Slenderman'."

"I hope you're right…" I said and sat back down the chair next to her.

"Cheer up Konna! Let's finish up this game!" Delin beamed excitedly as she got the second page. I just giggled at her childishness. But… I still felt like that someone was stalking us. And why didn't Delin feel anything while I did?

Five days later…

I was packing my book bag for tomorrow's school day. We had Biology class tomorrow, so I was excited because it is my favorite subject. When I was done, I dusted my hand and said gladly.

"There, all done." I then looked at the bookshelf. "Now, it's time to read the new book I bought yesterday!"

The book I bought was about every animal around the world, from Africa, Europe to Australia! It can tell you where each animal lives, how it survives their condition for living, etc…Well, actually, I already have a lot of books like this, but this book is very thick, so I thought it will be very interesting and informative!

As I reached my hands up to grab the book, I suddenly felt something wet at my nose. I wiped the thing out of it, but my nose kept getting wet. I wiped one more time and bring my hand to see what the thing was.

"… Blood?!" I yelped out. "Oh god! I'm having nosebleed! I need to make it stop right away before it worsens."

So I grabbed the book as fast as I could and quickly went to my bed. I flopped onto it and enjoy the book while waiting for the nosebleed to end.

"And who could answer this question-" The teacher was cut off suddenly. "Konna, are you feeling okay?"

"Uh… huh?" I said quietly. I realized that my face was on the table along with my arms. I was laying there very tiredly. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Wek!"

"You don't look very well, Konna. Do you want to go home?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No, I don't, sir. I'm feeling ve… very… wel-" I said before everything went black.

The next moment, when I woke up, I was at the nurse room with Delin sitting beside me. She looked worried.

"Konna, you're awake!" She said when she saw that I had woken up. "Oh my god! How are you feeling now? Are you alright? Do you want something to eat or drink? Do you want me to take you home-"

"Geez, Delin, calm down." I cut her off before she could ask more questions. "I'm feeling fine now. So don't worry about it, okay?"

"Thank god…" She sighed in relief.

"But what happened Delin? I was talking to Mr. Wek, and the next thing I know was me ending up in here."

"You were talking to him… before passing out! I really panicked, and asked for his permission for both of us to skip that class. Jesus Christ, you scared me! Why don't you just go home for the first place?!"

"I… I don't want to miss that class. It is my favorite class, and the lesson was very important." I said with a rather weak voice.

"Yes, I know that. But you should at least think about your health!" She said before reaching out her hand and put it on my forehead. "Good, the fever's gone now."

"I had a fever?"

"Yes, you were having a temperature, and you were hot like a fire."

We the heard the sound of the door opening, and the nurse came in. "Oh, you are awake now. Good, I was worrying for you."

"And the fever's gone." Delin added.

"That's great. Konna, you had a very bad cold, so no wonder you passed out. You should rest some more and remember to stay warm. Here are some pills, along with some painkillers."

"Thank you. My head is pounding madly." I said as I took the pills.

"Do you want me to help you go home, Konna?" Delin asked with a worrying voice when I stood up.

"Thanks, but I can go home by myself now. You should stay here, you don't wanna miss any class." I replied as we both went out of the nurse room.

"I will let you borrow my notebook and maybe explain the lessons then."

"Thanks, Delin."

"No prob!"

When I walked through the gate of my university, I sighed tiredly. Maybe I wasn't keeping myself warm enough. The weather was getting colder recently, so I should do what the nurse advised me to do. I let out a small sneeze before continued walking.

When I reached the crossroad, the green light was on so I stood there and waited. As I stood there with the other people who were also waiting, I noticed a person wearing a black suit and a black tie across the road. I first thought that it was a business man because of his suit, but then I started to feel strange about his unusual height; he was very tall, seriously. He was standing behind a tree with big bushes surrounding it, and I could barely see him at all.

Wait… is he faceless?! His face was nothing but an oval with pale skin without anything at all!

Just after I rubbed my eyes, he was completely gone. I was scared. Where did he go?

But now to think about it, Slenderman has no face and unusual height as well, right? Oh god… don't tell me that I just saw…!

I felt very scared now, but when I noticed people started crossing the road, I quickly joined them and forgot about that. It was probably my imagination because I hang out with Delin too much.

It had been 2 days after the day I got sick and had to go home. I was chatting happily with Delin as we were walking toward our class.

She then asked. "Hey, have you revived lessons for the Math exam?"

I got confused. "What Math exam?"

"What?! You don't remember?! That's unbelievable! You never forget about exams before."

"Honestly, I don't remember our Math teacher saying about the exam you are talking about."

"I have evidence!" She said as she took out a small handbook from her bag. She showed me the newest page that she had written on recently.

October 5th.

There will be a one-period exam next week, on October 8th. Mrs. Allison told us to revive lesson 14 and 15 more carefully because they're important.

"Oh god! October 8th is two day later! How could I forget about that?!"

"You better revive your lesson today, Konna." Delin said as she put the handbook into her bag. "Oh, do you remember to bring me my book that you borrowed yesterday?"

"Ah yes, that book-" I was cut off when I remembered that I left it at home. "I'm sorry, but I forgot." I scratched my head embarrassingly.

She just made a mocking pout and said with a chessy grin. "That's okay. You can bring it tomorrow."

We continued walking until I started to feel very bad in my stomach. I quickly covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom, leaving a confused Delin there.

A few minutes later, I walked out from the bathroom as I wiped my mouth. Delin was already there waiting for me.

"Hey, are you okay Konna?" She asked.

"Yeah… I'm fine now, since I just vomited."

"You vomited?"

"Yes. And speaking of that, this week has been very terrible." I complained. "I kept getting this to other. First, I had nosebleed, sometimes I felt headache and pains all over my body, then I often forgot a lot of things, I had strong cough, I vomited. I even had bloodshot in my eyes, and I rarely stay up late."

"Hmm… nosebleed, headache, pains, amnesia, strong cough, vomit, bloodshot… These sound familiar…" She rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Oh right! They're the symptoms of Slender sickness!"

I rolled my eyes and sighed annoyingly. "Delin, this is no joking matter."

"I'm serious! I read it on the Internet, and you're having the same symptoms of the Slender sickness! Apparently, he has just begun stalking you for a while. And hey, have you recently caught sight of him?"

"Um… no. But one time, I saw a man that looked like him."

"Then that's his first encounter with you!"

"Come on Delin, snap it off." I groaned. "It's probably just a coincident that I have the same symptoms as the Slender sickness's. So don't take it too far, okay?"

"Um… maybe you're right. Come on, let's go to class then."

End of flashback…

"Now to think about it…" I balled myself close to my knee under the blanket on my bed. "I think that I may have Slender sickness just like what Delin said…"

I went silent for a while before shaking my head slightly. "Nah, what was I thinking? That was absolutely silly. Come on Konna, forget about that and pull yourself together."

I looked at the alarm clock on my nightstand. It was 1 o-clock in the morning, so I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Wow, that was quite long, right? I was glad that this chapter came out quite well.

But anyway, leave me a review to tell me how I did and I'll see you in the next chapter.

Bye!
