Chapter 4: Another Killer
"If a world such as this were to rot in a day, the majority of the world's population would be in a state of panic. This panic is categorized as paranoia. If this world were to be in said state... would that be the apocalypse?" Questioned May, his eyes shifting up at his master who did not make a sound.
"The apocalypse is a fantasy every human seems to worry about. It's a form of thought being that of worst-case-scenario..." Slender answered. May's intelligence is intriguing but how does he cope with being perfection. The dark corrodes them with silence. The silence wasn't too unbearable, even though it lasted for a good twenty minutes. It was almost overwhelming for May. Who only wished to be excepted as the autistic child he was. Yes. He indeed was autistic. No child his age should be referred to as a "robot." He in fact came off as asexual and androgynous. Intelligent and the definition of perfection.
Slender thought for a long while. His mind filled with different scenarios and explanations as to why BOTH May and Prudence were so... Different... What could it possibly be? If Slender was real as well as all these monstrous happenings... Then... "A fairy..." Slender broke the everlasting silence. May, who never gets scared shook a little.
"F-Fairy?" May stuttered... Who never stuttered.
"Nothing, my sweet child..." Slender said silently. He placed a hand on May's shoulder who only shrugged it off slightly.
Slender continued to think. I've noticed Prudence's behavior has changed. She's acting more like May. Even though they don't really communicate with each other. May does not go near sunshine. He is constantly afraid of making the decision to go near any human being or light for that matter. Prudence has been leaving lights off and never comes out side to tend to her garden any more.
Although Slender's accusations could be incorrect and/or invalid. He still kept making assumptions that May in fact could be-
"We have to go..." May whispered under his breath.
"What is it?" Slender asked clueless. The sound of rustling and barking came from the distance. The sound of police sirens were growing more weary.
"I hear... A dog..." Slender said.
Jeff stood on a roof top. His eyes narrowing to a boy who stammered inside the alley just below.
"I'm sorry! I tried to show them! They wouldn't believe me!" Pleaded the boy. Jeff cocked his head to one side. The boy peaking interest of near insanity.
A bark came from the distance. The boy shook and sputtered at the noise. Jeff carefully skidded from one roof to another to get a better look at his awaiting victim.
"Calm down, boy. Soon I will end your sanity," whispered Jeff.
Another bark roared through the wind. The boy was holding a shitty phone in his hand and looked down at the screen, screaming, "ITS COMING ITS COMING!"
Jeff pulled out his rusty blood stained knife. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A darkened creature came running into the alley. The clouded night sky made it hard to understand what the creature was. It growled and scoffed at the boy who clenched onto the phone for dear life. "Pl-Please... Please leave me alone!" The boy begged and pleaded.
The creature continued to approach the boy slowly. "Spr-" The creature let out a muffled noise. "EAdd.." it continued. "Th-Th...e.."
What was happening could not seem more insane. "Word..." Jeff became even more intrigued and yet seemingly annoyed. That was HIS victim. Not that ugly beast's. Jeff gave it a second thought to rush down there and save his victim just so he can kill him himself. But the creature gave off a vibe that made Jeff... A bit creeped out.
"RUFF RUFF!" The creature barked. Was it... Was it a dog? Of course it was! The dog came into the light from a dim street lamp. The sight was terrifying. The poor thing looked possessed and demonic. Giving off a blood-red coat and sharp grinning teeth. The fur was so ruffled and caked in what appeared to be dried blood it almost didn't even look real. It looked to be only seen in nightmares. The boy curled onto the floor, praying to be accepted into heaven's gates and he awaited his death. In a matter of moments the dog stepped out of the light and rushed at the boy. Tearing him limb from limb. The screams of the boy were so excruciatingly loud people began to freak out and call the cops. Not a second too soon the creature dog looked up at Jeff who sat just above him. The eyes of the dog made Jeff cringe, but Jeff did not cower. Instead he kept his smile wide.
"Good doggie..." Jeff whispered. The dog began to whine and beg with his eyes. He seemed almost ashamed of what he did. Jeff looked up and seen the lights of the police cars. The dog began to look less terrifying and more like an actual dog. The color of the dogs coat became less of a blood-red and more grey. It was more easy to identify what kind of dog it was.
"Run... They'll get you..." Jeff coaxed the dog, who actually gave off a nod and stumbled away. Barking and yelping for help. As he did... Jeff smiled, jumping off the building and landing near the remains of the dead child. He looked down and noticed the phone was still intact in the boys fingers. He pried it from him and looked at the screen. A picture that would offend anyone was cropped in place... "What a beautiful husky..." Jeff said, letting out a small chuckle.
Prudence looked out the window, her eyes focusing on the forest just beyond her garden. The sound of expecting police sirens and barking still rang through the night. Her eyes began to water, her face began to grow red and grew puffy. She felt nauseous and somewhat dizzy. The barking grew louder and louder.
Ruff... Ruff... RUFF... RUFF!
Prudence lied herself down on the bed. The room was spinning uncontrollably. Her eyes sight grew blurry. That's when everything went black...
Suddenly the feel of a warm body pressed against her stomach woke her from her corroded dreamlike state. She looked up to see two beautiful ocean blue eyes staring down at her. Freaking out just a bit she scooted up and propped her head on the head-board of her bed. The sound of two heart beats sank in the air and instantly she realized what was occupying her stomach. A beautiful grey husky.
"H-How did you get in here?" Prudence whispered. The dog sat up and majestically pointed its head towards the window. Prudence seen it had been left open. But she distinctively remembered shutting it.
"What on earth are you doing here?" Prudence continued to badger the dog as if it could understand. The dog whined and began to cower as if it were to be punished. Prudence carefully petted the dog's neck and felt something dry and crusty in the dog's fur. Moving up the dog's neck to its muzzle there was the same brown crusty substance.
"Is-Is that blood?" Prudence asked. The dog shut its eyes and almost looked to be nodding. Prudence stood up fast and looked suspiciously at the dog on her bed.
"Say hello to my new pet, Pru..." Jeff said just beyond the window. Her eyes shifting to the white skinned, carved smiled boy in her window.
"New pet?! What the hell, Jeff?!" Prudence said in a huff.
"Yeah, I think he can help me with this whole... Er... Insane thing you know?!" Jeff said overly enthusiastic. He pulled out a phone and jumped in Prudence's window. "I have to show you something though... I found this dog... Um... with a boy... Um... her actually was killing the boy-"
"Killing the boy?!" Prudence panicked. "This dog was killing someone?!" She jumped back as far as she could and ran to the farthest corner of the room.
"Relax, kid. He's harmless now. I think..."
"You think?! No you obviously don't if you let an insane killer in the house?!"
"Hey now, you let me in the house," Jeff said with a slight chuckle and shrug. "Besides that... This dog is different. it's special like Slender and I. He can change..."
"Ch-Change?"
"Yeah. I saw it happen. The boy he was hassling was holding this phone. On the screen was a picture you need to see..." Jeff said walking over to Prudence calmly. He lifted the phone closer to where she could see.
"It's a picture of a deranged dog in red lighting. See how demonic and creepy it looks. Well.. It's not just the lighting of this picture. it's really what this dog can look like. The boy was holding this phone and before the dog attacked him, he said, 'I'm sorry! I tried to show them! They wouldn't believe me!'"
"Stop, Jeff!" Prudence begged. Her eyes watering.
"I'm not trying to scare you, Angel. I swear!" Jeff promised, holding her hand to his chest.
"Prudence?" Came a call from Slender just beyond her bedroom door. Prudence and Jeff gave each other heavy glances.
"I have to show Slend-"
"Prudence no!" Jeff said, quickly placing a hand over her mouth. "We cannot show Slender... He must not know of Smile..."
"Smile? You named it?!" Prudence said angrily.
"No... Actually the picture on the phone had a text named, . It just came natural you know?" Jeff said with pleading eyes.
"Prudence, are you awake sweetie?" Slender asked through the door.
"Please, Pru. Help me hide him," Jeff begged. Prudence rolled her eyes and carefully walked over to the dog, who wagged its tale and began licking her face.
"Just a minute!" Prudence shouted. Jeff jumped for joy and ran to the dog. Kissing its head and petting it.
"I'll be back for you, Smile. I promise!" Jeff said. Prudence smiled at Jeff's behavior towards this animal.
"Go! Before he barges in," Prudence said to Jeff. Jeff wrapped his arms around Prudence and thanked her a million times before jumping out the window. Prudence hid the dog in her closet and hushed it a few times before letting slender in.
"I need to talk to you," Slender said with much tension.
"What is it, hon?" Prudence said, acting a little too suspicious.
"There's a new monster loose near here... You must not let it near you.." Slender said sincerely. Prudence gulped.
