Chapter 5: Unannounced and Corrupt

"Sl-Slender.." Prudence stuttered. Her hands were shaking.

"I just came to warn you, because I need you to be safe."

She nodded and watched as her master turned to leave. A sudden pang of loneliness wrenched in her heart. She felt almost obligated to latch onto Slender who hadn't given her much attention at all lately. Her eyes began to water. Her heart began to flutter. All she could hear were pounding heart beats. Her rib caged ached and she felt words get caught in her throat. She began to cough, thinking words would just spew out. Her eyes shifted back and something began to happen. Slenderman stopped walking towards the door and turned to see Prudence seizing in her bed.

"Pru?" He began, she didn't answer. "Prudence!" He ran up to her and held her face in his hands.

He looked her over. Her hands clenched up and her face grew pale. Something was happening and he didn't quite understand what it was.

"Jeff!" He ordered in an angry voice that boomed through the air.

"Yes sir-" Jeff stopped in his tracks as he climbed through the window and seen Prudence in such a state.

"She's having a seizure?" Jeff asked Slenderman.

He nodded and handed her head to Jeff to hold.

"I need to go to the bathroom and get a wash cloth. Hold her still and make sure she doesn't hurt herself." Slenderman was acting as calm as possible. He wasn't scared, nor was he mad. Jeff held Prudence as she shook. He suddenly heard the rustling in the closet. The sound of whimper and growls filled the air and the stench of blood was heavy in the room's atmosphere. He knew what that was, Smile...

"Open her mouth, carefully!" Slender said, he tentacles broke through his back and went everywhere. Jeff obeyed, slightly terrified by Slender's current appearance. Slenderman was a "man" on guard. He gently wrapped the towel in a roll and placed in Prudence's mouth.

"This is clearly the work of a demon," Slender said. His head tilted to one side. Jeff clung tighter to Pru. "And it's in the closet. Jeff..."

Jeff's heart stopped.

"Y-Yes?"

"What the hell is wrong with you, why would you bring that dog into this household? Especially anywhere near Prudence!?" Slender stood tall, he had to end over in order not to hit his head on the ceiling. Jeff opened his mouth, reaching slowly towards his knife which rested in his pocket.

"He was lost, Slender," Jeff protested.

"You specifically.. Knew.. What this dog was capable of," Slender began, his voice muffled in the sound of a million voices. Jeff admitted to himself how terrifying Slender can become.

"She can DIE!"

"She died once," Jeff once again protested against Slender's wishes. "She clearly can survive your side effects she can survive Smile's!"

"Don't you dare give that thing a name!" Slender's tentacles blocked the closet door, which was being rammed and scratched by the demon inside.

"You like to play god, Slender... You like to think you can boss everyone around because you have all these stupid Proxies, you aren't god and you never will be," Jeff said in anger. Prudence quick shaking and was sound asleep in Jeff's arms. Blood dripping from her mouth. Jeff looked down at her. Her skin grew pale.

His eyes were gentle than.

Slenderman stayed in one place, though the ceilings were roughly ten feet high, he still had to crouch. His palms face outward, his long pointed fingers came to a point like thin medal claws. His "suit" looked like silk, his soft milky white skin cracked with gray. This wasn't his worse state of anger. Jeff liked to label Slender's anger stages with numbers up to ten being the most angry. He figured this was only stage five.

"Look at her, Slender. Look at your precious little Pru. You brain washed her just like the others," Jeff felt it was wrong to continue to anger Slender any more. But at this rate his heart wasn't just filled with fear and guilt, but also jealousy.

Slender began to shrink to a reasonable eight foot. "Brainwash..? Only the ones who feel my existence is valuable for the world to know. I only 'brainwash' those who seek me and ask for just one picture! Only those who feel it is pleasant to terrorize others and who feel it is alright to harm others who have potential to be my next prodigy. Those who use my name in vain against pure anger and insanity! Those who do not know real pain, mortals who beg for immortality, selfish, greedy, lustful beings who crawl on this earth with any chance of personal pleasure! People who fear me! Jeff!

People who feel it is in their absolute right... To ever... Lay. A. Finger. On. An. Angel! To ever take her purity and ram their little precious desires and harm her! To ever take her, and please her when she begs not to be please! To who can ever... Ever.. Take her breath away and shove it six feet under without a name for her grave!"

Slender than began to grow once again. He back arching and his fingers growing sharper.

Stage six.

He grew a mouth, his voice shaking the windows. "Prudence, is to whom I will never brainwash. Prudence is to whom I swore I'd taste every purity she had and protect it. She is to whom asked me. She is to whom made me promise to love her and protect her. She is the only one I have ever promised anything to. I plan to keep that promise Jeff, and for you to spit on that is a pure shame. I loved you Jeff, but not like I love her. Nothing even close. You may spew your impurities onto her well-being, promising her the same. Loving her the same. Caring for her the same. But they mean shit! THEY MEAN SHIT WHEN ALL YOU HAVE DO IS LIE, SCHEME, HARM, KILL!

kill

kill

he's a killer?

Master sees all lies..

Proxy voices filled the air as Slenderman spoke. The sound of howling came from the closet. Jeff knew this wasn't Slender. Slender would't be s cruel, especially in front of Prudence would he ever transform into his demon. Jeff had to think. He lifted Prudence into her arms and held her like a baby.

"I have to get her out of here," He said to himself. "Slender! Please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it and neither did you!"

Prudence stirred in her slumber. Jeff can her Smile's growls. Smile.. It's smile! Slender was right about Smile being a demon.. It must be the dog that's causing Slender to act in such a peculiar way.

Slender shrieked.

Stage seven.
