I have decided to post chapter one of my story. A preview if you will.

Chapter One

I sat in my living room. The blinds were closed and the curtains drawn. My mother snoozed on the couch. Beer bottles all around her. “In other news, seven bodies were found in their homes. Locals are calling it another Proxy attack. Now for the wea-” I turned the tv off and grabbed my backpack. Slinging it onto my shoulder. I knelt down and lightly kissed my moms forehead. “Love you, see you after school okay.” I whispered gently. I picked up the bottles and headed outside. I shifted the bottles to one arm as I shut the door and locked up. I threw the bottles away. I glanced down at the crumpled pieces of paper I threw away yesterday, I had been drawing strange symbols for weeks now, I don’t know what they mean though. I adjusted my glasses.I rubbed my head, I have been having headaches for months. At times a faint ear splitting static noise. I checked my watch, it's cracked glass making it hard to see the time. 6:30 a.m. I opened the front gate and made my way to the bus stop. The walk was a short but cold one.

The bus stop was bustling with students. It was loud with talker. Talk about the recent murder and death fresh off everyone's tongues. I made my way through the crowd. Getting closer to where the bus would pull up. Better to get on quick then troubled by everyone else. I stood with my hood covering my face. “Isn’t that her?” I heard a gruff voice asked. The muffled talker and laughter. “Hey, I heard you were the slut to talk about cheap blowjobs.” said the gruff voice. “Piss off.” I told him as I stepped back one. Ever since I pissed of Vicky snow I had been branded a school slut. Not surprised people believe what she posts on the Web Stream. I checked her Jaber page. The most recent post was about me with 6 million views so far. I heard talk about the man people call Slenderman. He was last seen 17 years ago and his picture still circles the Web Stream.

I tucked my phone back in my pocket and waited for the bus. When the bus pulled up I rushed on. I sat in the seat behind the busdriver. The bus ride was a short one, but full of taunting. When the bus pulled in at the school I rushed off and vanished into the crowd. I entered the school building. The walls were brown and dirty with grey floors. The whole school was worn down. I walked quickly with my head down. Heading for my locker. I passed by Vicky and the cheer team. I glanced over and locked eyes with Vicky. I could see with the anger flare in her eyes. What I did to her, who knows. “Hey bitch, come here.” she yelled.

I kept walking not really caring what she had to say. I could here her heeling clacking on the worn floor. As she jogged after me. “Hey, i’m talking to you.” She said in her squeaky voice. “Oh? I didn’t hear you.” I said. “How could you not.” She said. “Well the last time I checked my name isn’t bitch.” I said. Walking off. “You will pay Harlea, Pay!” She screamed. I rushed to my locker. Shaking with silent laughter. I scanned the halls for my friends. “Where are you guys” I mumbled as I grabbed my books. I walked to my class and waited for this day to be over.

#######

The last bell of the day rang. I got up and took my time walking to my locker. Hoping to catch a glimpses of Cassidy or Tiffany. They were nowhere to be seen. I threw my books inside and walked out to the courtyard. I glanced around and made a split decision to walk home. I would take the scenic route. Near Rufford Woods also nicknamed “Slender Woods”. I walked the quiet streets. Checking my watch making sure to make it home on time. Mom would need her medication. I heard laughter and talking behind me. I glanced back to see the boys from this morning. Holding beer bottles in their hands.

I could tell by there partly slurred voices and swaying walks it wasn’t there first bottle. I quickened my pace. “Hwey it's the Slute” Josh yelled. The group broke out into laughter. “Lets get her guys.” Josh yelled. Breaking from the group in a run. I glanced over my shoulder and looked for a place to run. The forest. I bolted in the woods, as I went into I saw a very pale in a suit. I tried to get a better look but was shoved from behind by Josh. I rolled down the small hill. Hitting rocks and falling branches on my way down. Josh laid not far away. My vision was blurry, my glasses had gone missing when I fell. I slowly rose up and looked around. A faint static sound rang in my ears.

Josh got up. He swayed as he walked over to me. His friends ran down the slope. Laughing and stumbling on the way down. Josh groaned, his head was bleeding. From the red running down his blurred head. “Look what you did.” He yelled walking over to me. I stood up scrambling backward. Josh grabbed me and threw me onto the ground. “Josh, What happened to your head.” One of his friends called. “This bitch made me fall.” he yelled. His voice becoming less slurred as his anger came out.

I tried to get up but he stopped on me. Knocking the air out of my lungs. I gasped for hair. I waited for him to turn away so I could run. My ribs hurt where he stepped on me. When he turned to yell at one of his friends I jumped up and rammed into his gut. He stumbled back and I bolted. “Get back here!” He yelled. I kept going till a loud band rang through the forest, and I was on the ground screaming. I could feel the blood pouring from my wound. I could hear Josh's footsteps as he neared me. “Josh, why do you have that!” One of his friends yelled. I glanced over my shoulder to see Josh point his gun at the guy.

I forced myself up, and tackled Josh to the ground. He fell and his gun went off hitting my shoulder. I fought for the gun with my only working arm.

He was dazed from me tackling him. I grabbed the gun and forced myself to stand. I pointed the gun and shot Josh in his leg. His friends ran. I tossed the gun as far as I can. My body screaming in agony. I took a step forward. Then another before collapsing. My vision blurring and my head being filled with the sound of static.

#######

I heard the mummer of rushed voices and metal on metal. “Give me the bandages. She's bleeding out!” an unknown voice yelled. My mind was slow and dazed. I couldn’t put two and two together. Only the throbbing pain kept me from falling into oblivion. It was like this for hours. My body slowly grew numb as time passed. Till I could no longer hear anymore talking. I was trapped with my thoughts. I tried to open my eyes. “I think she's waking up.” I males voice said. My eyes cracked open, I never thought the first thing I would see was a glazed face with no eyelids and a cut in smile. But I was scared of the person either. “Then go get Slender.” A voice yelled. “Shut up lui.” The teen said.

“Make me Jeff.” the other voice said. Who are these people? I could hear a distance voice which sounded like the news lady from channel six. “Breaking news, Two killers are making themselves known. The have been tagging there names on every crime scene. Tonight a couple was slaughtered in there home. Beside there bodies was the killers names and a Web Stream, web address. We will have more information in a few, back to you Ned.” Chills ran down my spine. “Thanks Tina, tonight a student from Preston High that was found last week is back on his feet. Josh Whaley was found in the woods with a gunshot wound to his leg. The person in question is Preston High student Harlea Johnston. There are eye witness reports that she was at the crime scene. She has been charged with An Attempt of Murder- The door opened, “Is she up?” I deep voice asks. My breathing quickened this man was speaking in my mind.

I opened my eyes a bit more to see the main I saw before. But he was taller still in a suit with pale skin and no face. Slenderman. He looked at me as if he heard me. “Leave, both of you.” he said. They grumbled but left. “Hello my dear” He said. “Hello.” I whispered in a soft voice. “Now you have two choices, You join me or you’ll find yourself in the custody of the police.” He said. “Wow, blackmail.” I said. Thinking over my options. I nodded and said, “I’ll join. Don’t feel like becoming a Conner.” I said. Slender nodded then asked, “Where would you like the symbol you’ve been drawing.” He asked. “My neck left side.” I said. “Also you will have a spell type thingy put on you that I control. Call it a curse if you will.” He chuckled at his own joke. “If you are captured by my enemys or on an important mission. You can’t tell anyone about it. Only I will know the details. I will decide when you can remember your mission. Okay.” He said.

“What the fuck man N to the OW” I yelled. Slender started to trace my neck. It burned like a bitch. He raised he finger of my neck and said, “To late already did it.” He said. I looked at him. “BITCH!” I yelled. “Thats boss to you.” He said as he unstrapped me to the table. My wounds where bandaged. They were numb from some sort of satidive. Slender handed me some crutches. I stood up with the crutches help and followed Slender up the steps. Slender had to help me up after a few slips when going up the dark staircase. When we reached the door we walked out into what looked to be a living room. It was quiet and no one was to be seen. “Sorry, but your slow on crutches.” Slender said as he picked me up with on of his tendrils. “What the hell. Put me down.” I said. “In a minute” he said as he started up the stairs to the upper floors.

He set me down when we reached the third floor. “See? Much faster than your stumbling.” He said. Asshole. “I heard that.” He said. He opened one of the doors and said, “This is your room. Will fill out your form tomorrow. Goodnight.” He said as he walked past me and back down stairs. I slowly made my way into the bedroom. I threw my crutches to the floor and shuffled my way to the bed.I took my glasses off and tossed them on to the bed side table. I layed down and fell into an unrestful sleep.

I awoke to my door opening. I cracked my eyes open and glanced at the door. My vision blurred since my glasses were off. The figure walked slowly and quietly through my room. Making there way to me. I tensed up at this. They crept closer my heart beat went faster. As they neared my bed I got ready to spring up and attack. They were right next to me and knife swished out of its holder. I jumped up and on to the person startling them. I fought for control my gun shot wounds bursting with pain at my movements. The person hit me in the head, knocking my head back onto the floor. The person grabbed the knife and stabbed down. There hand covered my mouth covering my screams. I looked in to my attackers eyes. Taking them to memory so I could kick there ass later.

I felt a roll of power, a source of energy. Like a switch had been flipped inside me. I pushed on my attacker sending him into my ceiling. He dropped back down with a groan. The room filled with a dim light grey light, I sat up and glanced around the now clear room. I saw my attack run from the room. My floor was cover in my blood. I glanced down at my stomach. My clothes cover in my blood but no cut was to be seen. My vision was near perfect as I looked around. My glasses rested on the night table. My bullet wounds were no longer hurt. I heard rushed footsteps coming up the steps. I turned to look at the door, Slender was standing there. He glanced around the room before asking, “What in the actual fuck happened here.” He said. “I was attacked.” I whispered. Wrapping my arms around me and thinking about the punishment for jacking up the room. “Who?” he asked. I shrugged.

“Well you don’t look hurt.” he said. I nodded. “What happened to your hair, and your wounds looked healed.” He said. “I don’t know. I just felt this energy swell inside me, like a switch was flipped. I threw my attacker into the ceiling. My wounds are gone, and I can see clearly without glasses. There was a light grey light surrounding me. I don’t know what is happening to me.” I said in a panicked voice. He glanced at me, then said “Come with me.” He left my room and I followed after. Jumping three steps at a time to keep up. When we reached the ground floor we went to the left in a hall. We turned to the right and entered a hospital looking hall. “Where are we?” I asked. “Smileys Hospital Ward. I gave it to him for good behavior.” Slender said.

“Dr.Smiley?” I ask. He glanced back at me then turned and kept going. We entered a large room. Four medical tables lined the walls. A larger table was in the back of the room. A man with black hair and a medical mask was fooling around with chemicals. Causing mini explosion inside the trash bin. The loud bangs rang through the room with each concoction he threw in the trash bin. “Smiley! I need you to run a blood test on…” he turned towards me. “Lost Shadow, but you can call me Shad.” I said. I threw my old name behind me and took up my new role. “Sure, Slender. I’ve had nothing better to do.” Smiley said. He patted on the stool next to him. I walked over a sat down. Smiley got his nettles readiy as I sat and waited.

Smiley grabbed my arm and tied a leather strap around my arm. He found a vein and stuck the nettle in. Drawing blood from me and into a vile. He pulled the nettle out and put a cloth on the wound. He took the blood and started the tests. “What am I looking for Slender?” He asked glancing up from the blood. “The immortal gene.” He said. I glanced at Slender with shock in my eyes. Smiley glanced at me with wonder in his eyes. He went back to studying my blood. We sat in silence for what seemed like hours. He finally looked up and nodded. Slender glanced at me then turned towards me. I stood up and followed him out of the room. I glanced back at Smiley as I left the room. Giving him a small smile before leaving.

Slender was nearly down the hall. I rushed after him, “Slender! What is wrong with me.” I asked him. “Nothing is wrong, you're just…….Immortal.” he said. I stopped in my tracks. “Immortal” I whispered. “Yes.” he said. “I have a job for you.” He told me. “Yes?” I asked. “Go pick up your friend Tiffany. She’s becoming a thorn in my side since you disappeared. You’ll pick up Cass in a week. This is a test, if you pass this there's another mission. Here.” he said. He handed me a nettle with a clear liquid in it. I tucked it into my pocket and ran into the living room. I ran out the front door and into the woods.
