A/N: This is a small story based off the 2K14 movie. I thought this would be fun to do, and c'mon, let's face it, who WOULDN'T want to see Donnie and Mikey play Slender Man? XD
I OWN NOTHING!
Enjoy...
...but don't look, or it takes you...
Pages
"Okay, Mikey. You roped me into this, so where do we start?"
Practically bouncing on his toes next to his brother's chair, Michelangelo beamed from ear to ear as he held onto Donatello's shoulders. "Okay okay," he began, "so you just gotta press this button to walk –"
"Yeah, yeah okay."
"Right, and then you press that button to turn your flashlight left and right –"
"Got it."
"And then if you want to turn the flashlight off then you gotta press that button, okay? You got it bro?"
"Yes, yes, Mikey, I've got it," Donnie sighed with a roll of his eyes, adjusting the large glasses on the bridge of his nose out of old habit before he flexed his fingers, ready to attack the keyboard and get this stupid game over and done with as soon as possible. It had been after his younger brother had practically begged him that Donnie had finally given in and let Mikey drag him to his computer screen to play this new game that April had (accidentally) introduced him to on her laptop the other week. It was pretty popular on the internet at the moment, with tutorials and reaction videos posted all over YouTube, so it was hard to miss. It was called 'Slender Man', and if he remembered correctly, it was based off an urban legend of some kind.
The aim of the game was simple; collect the eight pages hidden within a deep dark wood (why that was and they needed these pages in the first place, Donnie had no idea) and all the while you had to avoid the clutches of Slender Man, a faceless creature that stalks you as soon as you find the first page (again, Donnie couldn't understand why that was). If Slender Man catches you, you die, and whether or not you choose to start the game from the beginning is up to you.
It was said to be one of the scariest games out there, but Donnie had his doubts. He often found horror movies or games or anything horror related to be quite…well, to put it bluntly, mind-numbing.
However, it indeed sounded an awful lot like something Mikey would want to play, or something that Raphael would tell to Mikey to scare the pants off of him. Nevertheless, Donnie couldn't back out now.
After cracking his neck from side to side and letting out another sigh, Donnie clicked the start button. "Okay. Here we go, Slender Man here we come," he said, rolling his shoulders backwards.
"Cowabunga, brah!" Mikey cheered, gripping Donnie's shoulders tighter out of excitement as Donnie began to wander through the dark forest on the screen.
"…okay, I'm sorry, but how heavy is this person? I can hear their footsteps and their already breathing heavily just by walking? What's wrong with this person?"
"I know, right? That's the weird thing about this game –"
"Wait, so you don't think a faceless white man in a suit is weird?"
"Eric Sachs, dude. He was the closest thing to Slender Man, just take off his face and put him in a suit and you're –"
"Okay, okay, do not need that mental image. Sheesh, where is that first page – oh, oh, I think I've found one!"
"Aw sweet, Donnie! You got dis, brah! You got dis!"
"Alright, what does it say… "Don't look, or it takes you." Huh, okay. I'll take that."
"Okay, the games' officially started, you can't back out now –"
"Whoa, whoa, w-where's that music coming from?"
"Oh yeah, the music starts playing when you take the first page. Means Slender Man knows you're here and he's gonna come out and try to kill ya."
"…okay then. Let's keep moving. I bet I can find all eight pages before I even see Slender Man."
"It's been done before already, dude. But don't get cocky; he can smell your fear…"
"If you're trying to scare me it's not working, just so you know."
"Pssh. Whatever. Oh, look look look look! Another page, over there over there on that truck!"
"Aw yeah! BAM! Got you too! Okay, it says "LEAVE ME ALONE." Alright, that's a little creepy, I'll admit."
"Oh dude, the music –"
"Ignore the music, just focus on helping me get the pages."
"…do you see any yet?"
"Nope. I have to go to the bathroom, don't I?"
"…uh, don't ask me, dude. If you gotta go then you gotta go –"
"No, no the bathroom in the game, numb-nuts!"
"Oh! Right! Yeah, you'd better go there first before it starts getting too crazy."
"I'm not scared, Mikey. Okay, which way do I go…jeez, it's pretty dark in here. Where is this place anyways?"
"Try goin' left…"
"…Oh there it is! There it is, I found it!"
"Aw cool! You're on fire, Don!"
"ALWAYS WATCHES, NO EYES." Well, I guess that's true. Grab that and let's get –"
Suddenly, the screen began to malfunction, revealing the misshapen shadow of a tall, foreboding man in the corner of their vision. Their eyes went wide and their hearts seemed to miss a beat.
"Oh my god did you see that?!" Mikey cried, pointing a frantic green finger at the screen.
"Oh my god what was that what was that?!" Donnie squeaked in a high pitched voice, his voice going higher near the end of his sentence.
"RUN, RUN DUDE!"
"I'M TRYING! OH CRAP WAS THAT HIM?!"
"I DUNNO I DIDN'T SEE HIM CLEARLY!"
"Okay, okay, we're back outside, we're safe…"
"Are you crazy, brah?! You're never safe from the Slender!"
"Of course not. Oh dammit, okay, you were right, this is a little nerve-wracking after all."
"Told ya. Okay, we got three pages, right? So we just need five more and we're home free."
"Yeah, okay, deep breaths, we can make it."
"We're stayin' alive, bro."
"Oh yeah, stayin' alive…"
"…stayin' alive, stayin' alive –"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"
"Stayin' alive, stayin' alive!"
"Ah, ah – AAAAAH!"
"HOLY CRAP RUN RUN RUN!"
"OH MY GOSH THAT WAS HIM! THAT WAS HIM I SAW HIM!"
"OH MY GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE!"
"Nonononono, I think we got away, I think we lost him…"
"Ooooohhhhh man! Dude I think I gotta change my pants."
"You think we should get Leo and Raph to play this?"
"Nooooo, they'd kill us."
"Yeah you're probably right."
2 pages later…
"Mikey I have no idea how you managed to get me into this game I mean – holy crap this is scary!"
"I told ya! I warned ya dude, but you didn't listen!"
"Stop grabbing my shoulders Mikey, your hands are all sweaty! And you said nothing about the fact that he an teleport!"
"I never got this far! I got scared!"
"Ohhh, Splinter help us…okay, okay, I-I think we can do this. W-We just gotta – OH MY GOD WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!"
"HOLY CRAP DONNIE RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!"
"I CAN'T – HOLY MONKEY CATS ARE THOSE TENTACLES?!"
"HE'S GOT US HE'S FREAKING GOT US!"
"NO NO NO NO NOOO –"
The terrifying image of the pale, featureless man flashed on the screen before the two mutant turtles were plunged into darkness. The 'Start' screen appeared once again after several seconds, inviting the player to try again. Trembling with fright, their heavy breaths the only thing breaking the silence, Donnie and Mikey slowly turned to each other, their eyes wide and pupils dilated as they then turned back to the screen. "NOPE!" they both cried in unison, and with the speed and grace of a deer in the headlights they scampered away from Donnie's computers, letting the 'Start' screen continue to blink.
They whizzed past the large brooding bulk that was Raphael, nearly knocking into him in their plight as he watched them run like a couple of wild geese. "Hey, the hell's wrong with you two?" he barked after them.
"DAAAAAAAD!" they wailed helplessly, their pace not slowing until they reached the dojo, where their rat master and father sat confused as his youngest sons clung onto him like a miniature furry life line. The old rat looked down at their quivering forms as they buried their faces into his robes. With a befuddled brow raised, he then looked up to his red clad son with a query in his black eyed gaze. Raphael, just as bemused as his father, held his hands up and shrugged his large shoulders.
Interrupted from his meditation in their shared bedroom, Leonardo entered the room to bear witness to the sight of his little brothers hugging their master, both of them muttering something along the lines of "he's watching us," and "Slender is coming". The blue clad leader looked up to Raph. "…any ideas, Raph?" he asked.
Again, Raph simply shrugged. "Bro, I don't even wanna know," he replied.
