Hey guys! I'm back!
*Glare*
Uh… why are you guys glaring at me like that?
*Point at the last update date*
Oh… uh… yeah… It's has been a long time… right? *chuckle nervously* Okay, you really need to stop that. It's creeping me out.
Get. To. Work. ASAP.
*beep*
Hello again, my dear readers! I'm sorry that it has been such a long time since I update. But since I'm here, let's jump right into this chapter.
Enjoy!
Chapter 7: Eight pages
I was walking along the street at night. I just came back from work, and it had been already 9 PM.
Oh, did I tell you that I have a part-time job? Well, I work night-shift at a café as waitress, from 5.30 PM to 8.45 PM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and sometimes Sunday. The café is pretty famous for its delicious drinks and treats so it's always crowded and I'm quite busy all the time. That could be tired, but at least I got quite high salary as it has a lot of customers everyday, and plus, the waitress uniform there is super cute! It's a knee-length cream-colored dress with white sleeves and frills at the end of the sleeves and at the rim of the dress. It goes with a white apron at the front and a matching-colored crown with white frills and two bows at its sides. I wear black legging and black heels to match.
Anyway, it was kind of late, yes, and I sighed. I was really tired lately because of the big amount of homework recently… and about that thing about Slenderman.
I still remembered about that, but what I remembered most was that party night. He loomed down to me, telling me to keep myself safe from Davin with unusually-soft look and the just… teleported away. People always describe him as a mindless murderer, but why would he tell me that? Did he want to protect me from the evil side in Davin… or did he just… do it?
I shook away my thoughts. I really needed to stay my mind away from it.
But why Slenderman…? Why wasn't it just a random guy who knew about Davin's plan and just happen to come out the garden, where we were? Why the Slenderman himself…?
I'm so confused.
I decided to forget about this completely. Just relax, Konna. Maybe when I came home, I could get a snack and lied lazily on the bed while watching videos on YouTube.
Suddenly, something covered my mouth as strong hands held me tightly. I tried to squirm to free myself, but the arms held me firmly in place. I tried to yell for help, the cloth which was the thing that covered my mouth, prevented me from doing it. I soon realized the chemical smell in the cloth when my eyes slowly drifted into unconsciousness.
I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the ground. I rubbed my eyes and groaned painfully as my head ached. I wasn't wearing the outfit I had a while ago; instead, I was wearing a knee-length strapless white dress and I had no shoe. Slowly picking myself up, I realized that I was in a very dark woods. The ground were nothing but just dry dirt, there was no flower or even grass – just very dry dirt. The trees weren't helping, as they were deadly dry as well, not even a single leaf hanging on the thin rough branches. Seeing this made shiver went down my spine a little.
I started to step forward. "He… hello? Is anyone there?"
No answer was heard. I called out once more, but got the same result. I gulped and continued to walk through the woods.
As I looked over my right side, I saw something white on a tree. Stepping closer, I realized that it was a white pieces of paper. I took it and read what it said.
HELP ME
The words were written in a very rough and possibly creepy way. Shiver went down my spine one more time. I was thinking about putting the paper back to where it originally was, but something told me that I should take it along with me along, and I did the same thing. I held the paper close to my chest and continued to proceed.
As I went deeper, I thought of something. This woods… It seemed awfully familiar to me. It looked like the one in the Slenderman game Delin played before-
No, it couldn't be it.
My body shook a bit. I suddenly stepped on something, which cracked loudly, and made my jumped.
"AHH!" I yelled in panic. I looked down and sighed in relief when it just happened to be a dry tree branch.
I looked at my left and saw another piece of paper.
LEAVE ME ALONE. It said, and beside the words was a poorly-sketched drawing of a tree-like thing. This paper… seemed familiar to me as well.
Crap… No, it couldn't be it. No way… No.
Ignoring the thought, I walked forward, but this time faster because this was starting to creep me out and I wanted to get out as soon as possible. Not long after, I spotted another one and my eyes double in size upon looking at it.
This piece had no words. Instead, it was a drawing of seven trees and a tall figure standing in the middle.
There was no doubt. This was the woods where Slenderman was, the woods in the game Delin played. My whole body shook fearfully as I thought about that. Delin said that in order to win 'the game', you have to collect all the eight pages. And I had three now.
But… that wasn't the problem. How did I end up here?! I was just walking on the street and now I just ended up here in a game I haven't even played a single time? What the hell is going on?!
I took a deep breath and looked around. Enough of that, I had to collect the other five pages so I can get out of this unbelievable crap.
Soon after, I found another piece of paper between the walls that were randomly located in the woods.
CAN'T RUN, it read. Under the words was a circle, a big pile of messy pencil sketch and an X at the left corner of the page. I sighed. "Of course I can't run, as I'm stuck here… unless this is a dream." I secretly wished the last part was true.
After just a few minutes, another paper came into my view, on the wall near the last place I was at. It was a drawing of Slenderman in a clearer view, and on his sides were twelve no's, six on each side.
"These are surely weird."
Right after I said it, static covered my view and rung in my ears. I jumped and tried to shake it away, but it refused to. But luckily, it was gone shortly after a few seconds.
Oh god, I forgot about Slenderman being here as well. Well, it was quite obvious, actually, because if he isn't in here then how could this be a Slenderman game? But the part that worried me the most is that he will follow you all the time and if you couldn't find all pages before he gets you…
He will kill you.
I quickly turned my head to look at behind me as my mind urged me to, but found no one. I looked from left to right. Still no one was in my view.
"Fuck…"
I quickly ran away and looked all around the place as fast as I could, trying to find all of them. Static rang and covered my view again, and I tried to ignore the fear that was still in me.
I saw another one. It was another drawing of Slenderman himself, on the left side of the paper was a drawing of a tree as tall as him, and on the right side of the paper was a word FOLLOWS arranged into a straight line.
The next page was a stranger one. The words ALWAYS WATCHES were on the top part of the paper and drawn underneath them was a rough thick line of rough pencil sketch. In the middle was a circle with two Xs on its sides and another line of words came after, which read out NO EYES, under it was another similar line of pencil sketch.
I counted all the paged I got. Seven. Only one more to find.
I tried to run, but was unable to due to the weakness of my legs. I panted as I tried my best to walk fast, Luckily, I was able to find the last one. On the top part of the page were the words DON'T LOOK above a line of pencil sketch. Under the line were the words OR IT TAKES YOU, under them was another pencil line. On the top right corner of the page was a X and on the bottom right corner was a sketch of a stickman which I assumed was Slenderman.
"Don't look… or it takes you…?" I read them out again confusedly. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I couldn't bring myself to look back as they became louder by every second passing through. I brought all of my courage to turn my head and then my whole body. My legs started to shake as I saw the one I expected to see.
Standing behind a tree was an unusual tall figure with black suit and a featureless face. Yes, it was Slenderman himself, standing at the distant. For some reason, I felt his invisible eyes staring straight at me and my heartbeat increased. We just stood there in silence, no one made any move or said anything.
He then walked away from his position and very slowly walked toward me.
DUN DUN DUN DUN! Things are getting a little intense, aren't they?
And yes, I left another cliffhanger there. *Savagely laughed*
But anyway, thanks for reading this chapter. I didn't expect this to happen but… stuff happen unexpectedly sometimes. Please leave a review and I'll see you again soon.
Bye!
