So you're back for more? I'm delighted. That means my brain control is getting stronger, so sit back, relax and read the chapter. Remember how my husband Slender Man promised not to kill my friends, or their following generations? Indeed the promise is intact, but he never said anything about anyone else.

It's rather dis-heartening if you care to think about it, which I prefer, (for your sake) that you don't think about it. That is, if you don't want slender to find you. He'll always find you; as he comes for anyone who thinks on him too regularly.

You see, my friends have started to die in their old age, and I have to experience the pain (which we slenders feed upon) and you cannot fathom what it's like to see the people you gave your life for, die anyway. Their children come to the forest and alert me of the tragedies, and the times of the funerals, but when Keiran's daughter comes, and I can tell it is his, and tells me of her father's death, I quit.

I quit my promises not to hurt a soul, and I quit being strong, if my eyes were existent I would be crying through them. Now is not the time for remorse, now is the time to get off my high horse, go to his funeral, love my husband and children forever, and stop living in the past.

This of course might be easier said than done.

How did you know of my woods? I ask the quivering girl, enlengthining my arms to wrap around her. (At this point I am rather tempted to strangle her.)

"Father spoke of you regularly, and where to find you, but didn't know if I was protected. So he never brought me here."

Yes you are protected. I promised not to hurt my friend's children, or any of the future of their line.

"How are you the way you are?" She asked, morbidly and incredibly curious.

I became this way, and married the slender, to keep your father and my other friends safe. They would have died if I had not. Would you like to come to my mansion for tea, and I could tell you the stories of the past?

"Please ma'am." She quaked in fear of the woods, and I knew it would be better to take her elsewhere.

Even if my husband, children and I are kind to you, don't think the same on your friends. We will kill them as the day is long. I tell the girl so she doesn't get any ideas. Sweet tea?

"Y-yes please. How did you know my father?"

He was my love in the time that we went to the forest, and the last survivor of all my friends. When did he meet your mother?

"When he was twenty one. I miss daddy."

I miss your father too. I whisper.

Who's this? Slender man asks.

Keiran's daughter, I project to him alone.

Keiran as in, the boy you were fond of? He projects to me only.

Unfortunately yes. He is gone.

I'm sorry my love. The slender man is not so scary to me anymore.

But I just shake my head. It's time for you to go sweetie. I project to the girl.

"My name is Estelle, and I'll be back." She swears.

I will tell you more at that time. Good luck in the world.

"I need it, my mother is gone too."

I turn toward my husband, can we take her in one of these days.

No. You know we cannot.

Maybe I do know, but maybe knowledge should be spared for someone who lost everything.

NO! THAT IS FINAL!

Someone arrived in the woods, and he made his leave.
