S.L.E.N.D.E.R.
"C'mon, Era, there can't be danger coming, it hasn't happened in months." said Steve. They lived in the small town of Jerrinton. Who am I talking about? They were the Spectacular Seven: Steve, Larry, Evan, Nott, Devin, Era and Rall. Era isn't like the rest, she is a psychic and can sense danger (as she does now).
"Hey, Steve, wanna play?" asked Rall
"Yeah, sure, where?" replied Steve
"What about the forest?" suggested Larry
"I don't know. Is it safe? What do you think, Devin, Evan?" asked Nott. Devin and Evan were brothers.
"Me and Evan aren't allowed to go there" said Devin
"Yeah" replied his brother
"It's alright" said Rall
"Yeah c'mon" said Larry
"Alright, alright! We'll come" said Evan. Evan gets stressed out easily.
So off they went, into the forest. They found the forest as scary as a witches' ritual. "Hey, guys?" said Era, breaking the silence "The sense is stronger now"
"What do you mean?" asked Steve
"The sense of danger" Nott spoke for Era
"C'mon guys, you can't actually believe that stuff, Right?" Said Larry
"Larry, last time she sensed danger someone turned inside-out. The only reason we don't believe it now is because she said she saw Slenderman in her dreams," said Steve
"It's true, I did!" persisted Era.
"What was that?" exclaimed Rall.
"Enough, Rall. You aren't fooling anyone" said Nott.
"Though what did you see?" asked Evan.
"It was someone in a suit. I saw it for a flicker" he replied.
"What do you think, Era?" asked Steve, turning around, but Era wasn't there. "Era? Era! Guys, do you know where Era is?" Steve turned again, but no one was there. "Guys this isn't funny!" he yelled. Just then he heard scurrying and turned again. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he heard a smooth but spine-chilling voice: "Hi, Steve..." Steve turned around and saw it. He saw the one, the only... Slenderman.
Steve couldn't move, he couldn't scream, but worst of all he couldn't run, he could only stare. It was as if Slenderman had cursed him to not move.
"Come, let's go to my house." he said in that horrible, spine chilling voice.
Steve couldn't decline as he was forced to walk and couldn't do otherwise.
Slenderman's house was a wood cabin, scary and deep in the woods. After what felt like hours of walking they finally found it. When they went inside Steve could finally move and collapsed.
"Oh don't worry, you can talk now," said Slenderman.
"W - w - what are you?" asked Steve. His voice came out tiny and scared.
"Well," he said, sounding offended, "I am the myth, the legend SLENDERMAN!"
"Where are my friends? What have you done with them?!" Steve tried his best to yell, but his voice still came out tired and scared.
"Oh, don't worry, Steven," he said, "your friends will be right next to you soon"
And by soon he meant soon, as before Steve could think of a reply he found himself inside a cage that smelt like rotten cheese with Slenderman outside staring at him like he was a zoo animal. The cage had a low ceiling so he had to sit and... could it be? His friends! But before he had a chance to speak, Slenderman started talking "Steven, Steven, Steven..." said Slenderman, "You trust people too soon. That's the problem with humans nowadays."
"Steve!" exclaimed Nott "are you okay?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Nott, thanks" Steve replied.
"Hey, Steve" said Devin
"Hi, Devin, where's Era?" he asked.
"Oh, Era is nice, I like her. I like her power and that rage, it's so vibrant even you can sense it, oh wait you can't," it was Slenderman, he snickered and continued, "So why don't you see for yourself" he flipped a switch and somehow the wall opened! Steve heard a high pitched scream and turned around to see Larry in complete shock. Steve turned back around to see the wall had opened up fully and inside was a capsule. Steve squinted someone inside: Era!
"I've been doing a couple experiments with her and this is the best one. I even made the effects longer just for you." Slenderman gave a laugh that sent a shiver through Steve's spine. He clicked a switch and the capsule broke and a humongous vantablack hand came out... then the next... and then came the head. Deep red eyes, yellow teeth and big broad horns that start thick and get thinner and thinner the longer they go on. Contrary to the arms, it's legs were tiny and looked thinner than Slenderman's. No, I can't say 'it', that's Era. Thought Steve.
"So, what do you think?" asked Slenderman.
"You monster!" yelled Nott.
"SILENCE, MORTAL. OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE SHE CAN!" yelled Slenderman
"Excuse me?!" exclaimed Rall.
"Oh, didn't I mention?" asked Slenderman his voice as if nothing had happened. "She can't hold her anger anymore; she kills whatever she finds. Except me of course; I'm immortal."
"You can't do this!" screamed Nott, falling into the arms of despair.
"Oh, but I can, you see, ERA ATTACK THESE HUMANS WHO DON'T BELIEVE YOU, NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL!" commanded Slenderman.
Instantly Era rushed forward and wailed "YOU NEVER BELIEVED ME WHEN I SENSED DANGER, NOW YOU MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!" and the last thing Steve saw was a big, black hand pelting toward him.
Thank you.
