Chapter 3
Tina stood by herself a moment, trying hard to remember every detail of Toby from when before they met, and why all of a sudden she remembered him and Jeff and Ben to. She looked up at the grey a moment before turning back towards the Slender Mansion. She walked at a slow pace, smiling every time she remembered something about her and the others.
There was still one question on her mind as to why all of a sudden she was found and brought here. That's when she heard a twig snap from behind her, and she spun around quickly to face-to-chest with the tall, skinny Slender Man. She didn't gasp or scream, only looked up. She knew he could read minds and tilted his head slightly as if to say, "What my dear child,".
"You know don't you ?" In response all he did was nod his head. She started to get a buzzing in her head, like an old radio trying to find a sting signal for a station. Ever so slightly a deep but not to deep voice started sounding.
"You were one of us once dear child. I had to hide you away awhile. Could not risk what would have happened if you stayed by my side.."
"What did happen that night?" She asked proceeding to take his hand and walk with him.
"Toby tried to save you, at the expense of loosing his own life. I wouldn't let him though, I had you well hidden, even as the bounty hunters drew near to you, you were never found. When we had our backs to the wall and loosing out fight and the mansion itself as these humans claimed to hunt down killers for gold themselves. Soon after we had to retreat, I had forgotten you, and when I returned to collect you, you were gone. Do keep in mind you were only a small child." He said looking down, " A couple must have heard your cries and found you, taking you in as there own. You were very different in every way. So I let it play out, sending Toby to keep a watchful eye over you. Everywhere you went he went in hopes that when he was allowed to show himself, it would remember him."
"But what that have to do with him being so into me?" Tina asked another question.
"Many many questions." He chuckled. "Toby was suppose to be your lover from the day you were born as my child. You mother didn't live through the process of your birth, most of the killer women don't, that's why I highly forbid any acts as such. Toby had promised to keep you safe till the day he could call you his wife.." He let go of her hand as they arrived at the Mansion. She didn't move only stood there for a minute before making her way in the stairs.
Nobody said anything when she walked in, hardly even noticed her, except one, Zalgo!
"Why if it isn't miss half breed still shady from the mothers womb." He pipped up pushing everyone out of the way. He must have been in his human form because she didn't recognize him till she heard his voice.
"Zalgo?" She questioned.
"Right right, you remember me as my demonic form." He quickly shifted back, and the some memories came back.
"Where's Toby?" She cut him off, walking past him and his own hanging jaw of disappointment.
"Upstairs in his room." Answered Ben.
Tina nodded and heading upstairs to the room marked with Toby's name. It didn't take her long. She stood at the door waiting to knock.
After moments of just standing there, she finally knocked. She didn't notice the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
He opened the door, and with what she thought was a smile, said...
"Hello Love, care for some waffles."
I know it's a terrible ending, but it's like midnight and I just got off work so I'm brain dead. Bare with me I know the story is getting mushy, but it won't for much longer. Will hopefully finish this story before the school year ends and I have to turn in my iPad so stay tuned!
