Chapter 26: The War For Her Life Part 2
The crowd was silent. Slenderman stood unmoving as he watched his love fall to the ground. Her eyes rolling back. Her mouth spewed saliva. Jeff fell to his knees. "PRUDENCE!" He screamed. Prudence's parents begin to break the crowd trying to get to their daughter. But when the crowd of police and paramedics began to head towards her seizing body, Slenderman did something he wished he would have done in the beginning. His tenticles break the surface of his back and they head towards the crowd. Stopping them from getting to her. Almost like a force field was stopping them, Slenderman kept his eyes on Prudence. Jeff was crying, screaming, threatening God with words that would make anyone cringe.
"Prudence, please answer me, please!" Slender begged, lifting her to his chest. She wasn't twitching anymore. Her eyes stopped rolling back and she was crying.
"I-I'm sorry. I don't want... I don't want them to take me back. If you can't have me... I'd rather no one can..." Prudence managed to whisper. Slenderman turned his head towards Jeff. Who was on the ground. His eyes meet Slender.
"We need to go to the hospital..." Slender said. Jeff nodded and ran over to the crowd.
"See what you ass holes have done?! She is dying! I hope you're happy! Because of you she would risk her own life for Slenderman!" Jeff screamed at the crowd of awestruck people. Which were just growing in size. News reporters were holding their microphones as close to Jeff as they could, but to no avail, Jeff refused to give them what they wanted.
"Come on Jeff! It isn't worth it! We need to get to the nearest hospital!" Slender demanded. Proxies were trying their best to hold back the crowds, so Slenderman could transport with ease. Jeff grabbed onto Slender's shoulder and within seconds they disappeared. Leaving the crowd baffled.
"Did you get that?! Did you see what I just saw?!"
"He's real! He really is!"
The hospital was nearly full of proxies, doctors and nurses watch as a deranged serial killer and a tall faceless man carrying a dying girl run rapid in the hospital.
"We need to find a room!" Jeff suggested. "We can't keep passing these rooms. Who cares if they aren't perfect, Slenderman!"
"Almost all of them have patients, Jeff!"
"Just hurry!" Jeff was getting impatient as was Slender. When they were finally satisfied with the ER they went inside an empty curtain room and laid Prudence down gently. She was gripping her chest and stomach. Her eyes watering.
"She drank poison, how do you suppose we get it out of her?!" Jeff asked, he was panicky and grabbing as many knives as he could and holding them to the curtain. He didn't want a curious doctor to come in. Slender managed to turn off all electricity except for the curtain room they were occupying.
"She is going to have to throw up..." Slender said, grabbing Prudence's neck and holding it up. Jeff rolled his eyes.
"It's probably already working past her system-"
"IT DOESN"T HURT TO TRY!" Slender snapped. Jeff nodded and ran out of the curtain room. The darkness was corroding him, trying to gather his barrings he found a trash can near an office. The nurses and doctors tried getting in, but when Slender destroyed the electricity, it also destroyed the door locks.
"Here! Here!" Jeff said dumping the trash can all over the floor. Slender gestured for him to move in front of the bed. In the process, Slender held Prudence forward. Tilting her head so he can shove his fingers down her throat. She gagged and fought, but Slender's tentacles managed to keep her still. Jeff turned his head, not wanting to watch. Within a minute, she finally lost her stomach. Slender held her head firmly in his hands. When she was finished, Slender repeated the process.
Shove his fingers down her throat... Wait... And pray.
When things were looking bleak, Slenderman turned to the curtain. As if he had X-ray vision. Jeff knew what he was thinking.
"We are not asking those idiot doctors for help..." Jeff said, stern. Slender shook his head.
"I love her... Regardless if they will snitch. I was already spotted. I would rather be considered a monster, hunted down, strained and questioned then watch her die..." Slender said standing up. He turned the electricity back on. His tendrils ripping the curtains down in a domino effect. Jeff did not approve, but he knew Slender was right. Jeff walked over to Prudence who was on her back. He began to rub Prudence's forehead.
"The doctors are going to save you now, Angel... Because we love you... I love you..." Jeff whispered to her. Prudence's eyes were cloudy. Her skin was losing color. She placed a frail hand on the back of Jeff's neck and pulled his closer.
"I'm sorry..." She said. Kissing him. He held her there. His tears falling on her cheeks.
"What happened? What did you do to her you monster?!" Said a doctor running in. Several of the crowd from the meadow was filling the ER with cameras. One news crew managed to come in.
"We are here with the Slender being and Jeff the Killer. It appears they carried the missing girl Prudence here. Could they actually care for her? Why would such ugly, infamous beings care for such a sweet and innocent child such as Prudence Lynn?" Said the news reporter.
The doctor hooked Prudence to a machine. Jeff still handling Prudence's hands. The doctors and nurses gave the carved smile boy discussed glances.
"If you don't mind... We would like it if you left-"
"Shut your whore mouth, Dr. Er... Dean," Jeff said reading the doctor's name tag. "I'm not leaving her..." The doctor rolled his eyes and started shouting commands to the nurses, who obeyed his every command.
"I wouldn't disrespect your elders, Killer," Said the doctor who was pumping fluids in Prudence's arm through a needle.
Prudence shut her looked around. Everything was becoming blurry. She knew she was going to die. Matt had told her. Scarlet watched with fiery eyes. She knew it was what she had to do... Was she stupid? Maybe. She knew that. She was becoming rather cold. She couldn't feel her fingers. It soon gravitated to her arms and legs till she couldn't move at all. Her eyes shift to Slender who stood in the darkened corner. Watching with utter silence and probably pain stricken. She was a fool after all. But they were fools. They who infest the world without a fuck given. They are the monsters... Not Slenderman. They want to prove his existence so bad... They think he is a murderer? They are the murderers. Society killed Prudence's dreams, telling her she would never find love. She would never amount to anything. Telling her to stop believing in Him. But he's right there. He loves her. She is his prodigy. She did amount to something. She may not have been able to protect Slender and Jeff... But she did make a point. She made a statement to all who try to center the void of ripping emotions into society.
Prudence smiled to herself. She was brave enough to prove a fact. In fact... She was a genius. Though she didn't know it yet... But she DID save Slenderman and Jeff. She just had to die in order to fulfill such a destiny...
She takes one last glance at Slender and then at Jeff. She wanted to remember their features. Jeff was beautiful. Whether or not he believed so. His mouth was carved into a forever smile, yes, but that only emphasises his beauty and creativity. Prudence laughed to herself. Jeff's skin was smooth on hers. She bit her lip, remembering all his kisses. She closed her eyes only slightly and shifted them to Slender. So many memories corroded her brain but only one left her heart beating heavily. The moment he played the piano for her and they exchanged that passionate kiss. If that didn't signify that he loved her, then she didn't know what would.
She began to feel her body grow weaker. Her mind just spewing nonsense now like a dream. She felt almost relaxed. Her heart was slower than ever. Her eyes heavy. As she stared up at Slender, who was staring back at her. Soon things became fuzzy. She lost her vision and everything was white. She suddenly didn't feel cold anymore. She was growing warmer and warmer...
"We are losing her!" Shouted a nurse who held an oxygen mask over Prudence's face. Her eyes had long past shut. Her breath was already becoming slow. Jeff squeezed her hands tighter.
"Please, Angel this is not happening!" Jeff said holding her hand to his forehead.
"She... She has flatlined..." The nurse announced. Her eyes on the doctor who shifted them to Slender. Slender's anger shot back up and he pushed everyone out-of-the-way. Rushing to Prudence's bedside. He grabbed her other hand. Jeff let go of her hand. The doctors and crowd went silent, out of respect the nurses and doctors kept their distance. Giving the two men a moment with Prudence.
"Prudence, don't be dead. You can't be. You're just sleeping. Soon you'll awake and I will take you home. We can live in the mansion together. I can play the piano for you, I know you like it when I do. Please, just look at me," Slender said to her. Her eyes grey and cloudy. Still staring up at the ceiling. People who were wearing hats shed them. The sound of some cries came from the crowd. Listening to such a monster pray for a human wasn't to be expected.
Jeff stood up and put his hand on his eyes. He ran away from the crowd to find a janitors closet. When he reached one he shut himself inside. He stood there for a moment. Letting everything to process. As if he thought he were dreaming.
"Prudence..." He began... That's when it hit him. He fell to the ground. Lifting his legs to his chest. His arms cross and rest on his knees. He buries his face in his arms and begins to cry. He was crying so much he began to hiccup. His chest hurt.
"Prudence, don't go to sleep. Please don't go to sleep. Don't go to sleep... Please!" He said to himself. Breaking under his own weight.
Slenderman placed his head on Prudence's stomach. To which did not move in and out like it should be doing.
"Sir..." Approached a doctor to Slenderman. "We can give you a-" A nurse silenced him.
Slenderman was in denial. Obviously. He kept whispering to Prudence she will awake and that she was okay. But in reality... She had died. She wasn't coming back.
Jeff finally walked back in. His eyes on Slender who sat up and looked down at Prudence's face. Slender instantly remembered what she had said about her mother singing to her every morning to wake her up. She sang Dear Prudence... Slender took his hand and started rubbing Prudence's forehead. Looking down at her.
"Dear... Prudence, won't you come out and play...?" Slender began to sing. His voice beautiful, setting everyone in the hospital back. "Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day... The sun is up. The sky is blue. It's beautiful, and so are you..."
"What are you doing, Slender?" Jeff asked. Slenderman ignored him.
"Dear Prudence, won't you come out and play?"
"Singing won't bring her back, Slender!" Jeff tried again. Slender pressed his now visible lips to Prudence's. Then moved his forehead to hers.
"Dear Prudence... Won't you... Open up your eyes... Dear Prudence... See the sunny skies..." Slenderman continued. Everyone was silent. Prudence's mother saw this and her heart dropped.
"The wind is low, the birds will sing, that you are part of everything. Dear Prudence... Won't you open up your eyes...?"
"He... It... Slender... Man is singing our daughter's song... He's singing her the song I sing to her..." Said Prudence's mother. Her eyes already swollen from witnessing her daughter's death. The news casters that were catching this was going worldwide. People everywhere were witnessing a monster crying. Loving her... Caring for her...
Jeff was baffled. He knew Slenderman knew Prudence wasn't coming back. But seeing how he still sang to her gave poof to new meaning of love. His proxy took off their masks. Each one of them. reveling their identities. Not like it mattered anyway. Everyone knew who Slenderman was.
"Dear... Prudence... Won't you open... Up your eyes..." Sang Slenderman.
