Part 2

(Li-Wei)

I snuck out of the cave and away from the others. Daddy nor my older brothers noticed I had left. I knew I would probably get into a lot of trouble for this but I hated seeing Daddy so down. He was constantly worried about either us and Momma or his friends and owner, Jeff. I knew I shouldn't have invaded his personal space like that but when I saw him with that deep-in-though look in his eyes, I knew I couldn't just stay out.

I dug through his memories and found out what Jeff smelled and looked like. I blushed a bit when I saw him. He was quite attractive. Then I found a safe path Daddy used to take to go to and from the mansion he used to live in when he had gone on his killing sprees. It was safe enough to make sure I didn't into any mean people. So, I followed the memories I saw in my daddy's head.

I may have been small but it was extremely easy for me to maneuver myself through all the tree roots and brush. Daddy didn't know but I could already turn into my human for. Which is the form I am currently running in.

In human form, I had hair that was the same as my night sky fur and it traveled down my back to my ankle like a long mane, which is exactly what it was. My hair was also messy and kind of wild but it was soft and silky to the touch. My skin as white as snow and my eyes were a pretty cobalt blue rose color. They tended to changer color depending on my mood or any emotion I feel. I was also still pretty small for my age but that only made Daddy and my bigger brothers much more protective of me. I also have my wolf ears and tail that were the same color as my hair. I didn't like hiding my ears and tail, though I already knew how.

I could tell I was getting close to the mansion Daddy used to live in. Then one with Jeff in it. I suddenly felt something long and thick wrap around my tiny waist and hoist me up, away from the ground. I was then staring into a faceless pure white face. He seemed angry at me for being here, though I don't know why. I had never met him before.

"Slendyman?" I yipped cutely.

"Yes," he said looking surprised and a bit happy at his nickname, "who are you little one?"

"I'm Li-Wei," I smiled cutely at the tall being, "but Daddy calls me Lili."

"It's nice to meet you Lili," Slendyman said.

"Do you know where Jeff is?" I asked him cutely tilting my head to the side.

"Yes," Slendyman said, "Why do you need to see him?"

"I need to tell him something," I told him.

"I'll take you to see him child but don't be surprised if he attacks you," Slendyman said worried, "he's been rather upset since Smile left."

"Don't worry about me Slendyman," I giggled adorably, "I can take care of myself better than everyone thinks."

Slendyman blushed a bit and smiled at the name I had started calling him. He carried me in his arms, much like how a parent would hold their child, back to the mansion I had been looking for. He set me down on the ground and opened the door for me, seeing as how I was too short to reach the nob. I walked inside with him right behind me. I turned and faced him.

"Thanks Slendyman," I said cutely tilting my head up and to the side, "I can find him on my own."

"Alright," Slendyman chuckled, "if he doesn't listen and you need help with him just call me alright?"

"Alrighty Slendyman!" I giggled and skipped to Jeff's room, which wasn't hard to find.

I knocked on the door softly, not wanting to disturb him is he as sleeping. I heard a deep grunt from the other side of the door. Then I heard shuffling and the rustle of clothes. The door opened to reveal Jeff, who was dressed in a pair of faded jeans and a black t-shirt.

"What do you want kid?" he growled grumpily.

"I'm sorry," I frowned slightly feeling guilty for not waiting for him to come out of his room, "I didn't mean to wake you up."

"No it's fine," Jeff sighed, "I was trying to go to sleep because a certain elf kept me up all night last night. Now what do you need from me kid?"

"I came to tell you about Smile," I said a small smile adorning my face, "may I come in?"

"Sure," he sighed again.

He opened the door wider and stepped back, allowing me access into his room. I walked in and sat down on his bed. He closed the door and walked over to me, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well," he said, "what about Smile?"

"I came to tell you that he's alright," I told him, "He's worried about you and all of the others. He knows how worried all of you are about him. But he can't come back just yet. He will soon though."

"How do you know all of this?" Jeff asked surprised.

"Cause I heard Daddy's thoughts while he getting lost in all of his worries," I said.

"Daddy?" Jeff said, then realization dawned on him.

'So that's why Smile left,' Jeff thought.

Jeff smiled at me warmly, his eyes softening. He looked really tired. I probably really had woken him up. He most likely told me all of that other stuff to make sure I didn't start feeling guilty. And like that I started feeling guilty again. Jeff guessed at why I had suddenly gotten a guilty look on my face.

"You wanna take a nap with me?" he asked.

"I'm not *yawn* sleepy though," I mumbled.

"No lying to me now," Jeff chuckled, "you can barely keep your eyes open. By the way, what's your name?"

"Li-Wei," I yawned again, "it's Chinese. My mom named me. But Daddy calls me Lili."

"What's it stand for?" he asked curiously.

"'Beautiful Rose'," I yawned no longer able to keep my eyes open.

Jeff chuckled. He took off his jeans and climbed into his bed in only his t-shirt and underwear. He laid down in the middle of the bed. He pulled me against his broad chest. He pulled out his sleeping mask and put it on. I felt his arms wrap around me protectively as we both fell asleep.
