"Slenderman! Where are you?" laughed Jerome, his flashlight tracing the dark pine trees that was scattered across the night. Everyone giggled, except for Amber who hung onto Alfie tightly
"What if shes here?!" she whispered to Alfie
"He's not! I promise" Alfie said, before crossing his fingers behind his back smirking. He had a prank. A fantastic glorious prank he was going to pull on the others.
Amber sighed, and looked around, scanning the woods for any trace of 'Slenderman'. Everyone was having a fun time, as they knew he wasn't real anyway, but it was fun to 'search' for him. Amber shivered as she felt something strangely onimous. Something wasn't right..
Willow hung around looking for something interesting. She pulled out her compass and started to look around.
"THIS WAY IS NORTH!" She yelled out, startling everyone.
"Willow! Inside voice!" whispered Fabian, obviously annoyed. Willow giggled and skipped away, her two little pig tails flopping in the breeze. Jerome grinned. She could be so crazy sometimes.
"Eddie I'm scared!" Raine suddenly said, hoping for some sympathy from Eddie. In the darkness, Eddie held her hand but secretly rolled his eyes. 'Yacker would love this' ran through his head over and over. Patricia would be enjoying this hunt for slenderman. 'She'd probably wouldn't be scared a bit' he thought. Eddie moved his flashlight around, the light cutting the darkness in half. He was getting bored now. Nothing was happening at all. He sighed and continued to walk around
Alfie slipped away from Amber and went inside the house and into his room. He opened his wardrobe and got his black suit out and put it on, then he found a white mask and slipped it over his head.
"Now for the fun and games to begin!" he joked, while looking at himself in the mirror. He looked exactly like slenderman. Tallness and everything. He slipped out the back way and ran into the woods where the others were searching.
Amber suddenly panicked
"Wheres Alfie?!" she cried, panicking and going over to Fabian
"I'm not sure" He replied, running his hand through his brown hair. Alfie smirked to himself and made a rustling noise in the bushes.
Everyone jumped in surprise
"Probably just... a squirrel!" said Fabian quickly, trying to calm everyone down. Willow looked shocked for a second and then continued to skip around. Everyone else sighed and continued their search
"I think we should go back inside now" said Mara, shivering a little. Jerome gave her his coat, comforting her
"Its just cold" he said to her, pulling a strand of lost hair behind her. Mara giggled.
Alfie snuck behind Fabian and Amber, and waited for them to turn around. Well, they did as soon as they heard twigs snap behind them. A owl suddenly hooted and the air felt awkward.
Amber screamed and Fabian ran inside, and then as soon as the others heard what happened they bolted inside. Well, Eddie, Jerome and Willow stayed. Willow wasn't scared at all. She laughed and tried to make friends with the slenderman
"Willow its me" Alfie told her, taking off his mask. The three laughed and high fived Alfie. That was the funniest prank of all time.
"Lets go inside" Willow said, walking inside with Alfie and Jerome following her. Eddie stayed behind and slowly walked inside. Pieces of brown hair fluttered from the window above where he was standing.
"Weird" he thought to himself, shining his flashlight upwards to see where the hair was coming from. He immediately recognised it as Patricia's window, and as soon as he saw the hair he yet again recognised it as Patricia's. 'Oh god' he thought to himself, slipping a strand of her cut hair in his pocket. Surprised at his actions he went inside to see what the rest of the house was doing.
Patricia sat on her window sill, hidden from the shine of Eddie's flashlight from before. She partly gasped at the fact that he noticed and no one did. She looked at herself in the mirror and immediately regretted her decision. Her chest length hair was now not even as short as her shoulders. Patricia knew she had to do something about it. She couldn't go to school like that. Only the anubis house residents should know. Or even just Raine or Eddie..
Patricia looked at the time. It was only 9:15pm. It was still quite early since the party had started at about 5:30pm. Patricia was starving. Sure she'd eaten before but this whole thinking thing had made her feel hungry and angry again. Patricia slipped a beanie on her head and walked downstairs. She braced herself for the reaction of the others. It was not going to be pretty.
Eddie walked over to the fridge to get the rest of the whipped cream -in-a-can- that wasn't ruined from the earlier episode with Patricia. The thought of the whipped cream made him think of the time they first danced
'Im just a tin can, standing in front of a tank, asking her to dance with me'. Eddie immediately pushed that thought from his mind.'I'm with Raine now. I shouldn't bother with Patricia'.
Patricia walked into the room, missing half her hair. The room fell silent. Alfie dropped his glass and it smashed in the floor, Willow stopped rambling on about ponies for a second, Amber and Joy gasped, Raine smirked, Jerome almost fainted, KT and Mara almost fell over and Eddie did nothing, just watched as Patricia walked in with her panda eyes and cut hair.
"Pa-Tri-Trix... What happened?" stammered Joy, trying not to sound shocked.
"Thought it was time for a makeover" replied Patricia, shaking the reactions off her back as if they were sand. Jerome stood up, trying not to pass out. Patricia walked past everyone, and sad in an armchair, adjusting her beanie. Raine looked at her and kept her laughter in.
'If only if she could see how stupid and jealous she is' Raine thought smiling to herself. 'My plan is working perfectly'
