Slenderman's nicer side? part1

"Demon, wake up." I heard a voice. Was it my roomy? He sounded a bit in distressed. "Wha... What?" I yawned. Josh, my roomy kept tugging at my arm. "I'm being stalked." He said scared. I sat up and opened my eyes. "Huh, who's that?" I said tired. Josh screamed and before I knew it my body and his were pierced by black tentacles. I coughed up blood then faced the creature. It had a black suit on and a pure white blank face? Or could I better say blank head? Anyway I looked over to my roomy. "Oh that's just great, now I need to find myself another roomy that is willing to pay for my food." I said annoyed and pulled the black tendrils out of my body. The creature tilted his head. "This display is rather strange, how can it be you aren't dead?" A deep whisper sounded in my head. I looked at the creature that appeared to look like it was confused. I jumped on top of my bed to meet the blank head. "That is because I'm not human, I'm a half demon." I said. I only got a more confused look from the creature. "Have you ever seen a human with a tail and small horns?" I asked which the creature replied no on. "Well these things I have are real, see." I said while moving my tail. The creature cocked his head backwards in surprise. "So now you know what I am and how I'm not dead yet. The question now is, who are you?" I asked the creature. It let out a sigh. "I'm the Slender, a being from the forest." It said in its deep voice. I looked questioning at the Slender. "If you're from the forest then what are you doing in the city?" I asked.

The Slender tilted it's head. "I'm not sure myself. I was just created by the real Slenderman." It said with a sigh. "Wait, there are more of you?" I asked. The being arched its shoulders. "I guess, at least there are four members of the Slender family. I'm just a shadow of the real deal. I guess you could call me a far descended." It said. I looked confused. My brain tried to progress all the information it just got. "But who are the Slender family?" I asked. The being appeared to be surprised. "Those are Slenderman himself the oldest, Sexual-offenderman the second older one, then there is Trenderman the third older one and is obsessed with fashion. And then you have the youngest which is Splendorman. He is quite much the opposite of Slenderman." The Slender said. I had heard of Slenderman, he was a horror game based on a legend that was created on the web. But despite knowing those things the legend wasn't a legend at all. It was real! "So if I get it straight, Slenderman is a ruthless child killer or human hater, Sexual-offenderman speaks for itself. Trenderman is the fashion god, and Spledorman is the happy, cheery, soft, good guy." I said to confirm if I was right. The being nodded. "And you were created by Slenderman for what purpose?" I asked. The Slender arched its shoulders again. "Honestly I don't know." The slender said. I grabbed the being by its tie that he was wearing. "Then why the hell did you come in here and killed my roomy?!" I asked annoyed. The being brought its arms up to at least try to defend itself. I noticed the hands were black like the tendrils.

I listened to what the being had to say. "I couldn't help it, I just did it! Like it's build in!" It said shakily. I let the tie go only to hear a thud behind me as I walked away. "Then I guess we should find out what purpose you have." I said with a grin and walked to the door. The Slender grabbed me with a tentacle and pulled me back. "You can't go, the Slender family will kill you and probably me too." The Slender said. I guess that he had a point. "How else do you want to find out your purpose?" I asked. The Being thought for a while as he sat me down on the floor again. "We won't be able to talk to them if they're together. But we can try them one at a time." He said. I nodded in agreement. "So where do we start?" I asked excited. The being stood up and wiped its suit off. "I think we should start with Splendorman, he is the nicest and he lives near this place." The being said. It was quite scary to know that one of the Slender family members lived near my home. "Okay well then let's go." I said. Again I was pulled back by one of the Slenders tendrils. "What now, what is it now?" I asked annoyed. The being pointed to my dead roomy. "I need to eat. I've been roaming for days without food." The being said. I had a disgusted look on my face that I tried to hide. "Yeah, go ahead, I'd probably dragged you back here anyway to clean up the mess you made." I said while turning away for a moment. The being smiled with its mouth that I just noticed. "Thanks, I owe you a lot." It said and began to gulp my dead roomy down. "Just hurry up." I said while I had covered my ears.

The black fingers peeled my hands from my ears. "I'm already done." The being said. I shuddered from the sudden grim voice behind me. "Shall we go?" The being asked as his voice changed back to the regular soothing tone. I nodded and opened the door. The city streets were empty if you excluded all the people that roamed the streets at night. I grew a bit anxious. I had never seen so much different shapes of weirdness in my life. One guy with the same features as me walked up to me. "So you are the one that is not afraid of daylight, you're the one called Demon?" He asked. I only nodded. The guy wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Then I've got something to say to you." He said slightly grim. I gulped and the Slender's tentacles grew out of its back in a sort of protecting way. "Welcome to the nightly world, those who are the same as us come out and have fun. We all admire your courage the most. How do you do it?" The guy asked to my surprise. Also the Slender seemed a bit off. "I'm not the kind of type that will hide even though I'm different. That's just in my nature. If you want to excuse me now, I have to help my friend here." I said. The guy released me and swirled around it a graceful gesture. "But of course, oh courage's one. Call for me whenever you need my help. I'll roam in the shadows." He said and left. The Slender grabbed my shoulder. "For a minute I thought he would abduct you." It said. I let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah, me too. I'm really glad you're here with me though. It's kind of scary." I said grabbing its sleeve shakily.

The being grinned. "So you have never been on the streets at night?" It laughed. I looked down and nodded. "Wait really? You have never been on the streets at night?" It repeated worried. And once more I nodded. "B-but don't worry, I'll be fine as long if I'm with you though." I said and tried to hide my sudden fear with a smile. I had never felt this afraid. We went on. "Where do we go anyway?" I asked. The Slender smiled. "If we want to see Splendorman we should go to the lake. Most of the time Splendorman is ice-skating there." The Slender said. "Hold on, but the ice is not thick enough yet." I said. The Slender laughed at me. "During day time it isn't indeed. But at night the ice-nymphs are often playing around on the lake making the ice thicker." The Slender said. I thought everything was much weirder at night than at daylight. "Here we are." The Slender said. I ran to the side of the lake just to see a shadow, rather said a long shadow sliding over the ice. It had a small top hat. A nymph stared at me. "Courage's one, courage's one." It whispered and flew rapidly to the middle of the lake where the ice-skating shadow was at. The shadow had stopped his majestic movements and stared at us. He gestured to come near him. I looked at the Slender, which gulped. "You said he was the nicest of the four, so let's go." I said and took a step on the ice. An ice-nymph rapidly scooted underneath my feet. "Thank you, sweet nymph." I said. The nymph purred and lightened up brighter. It was pretty nice to know that even these creature felt compelled to nice words.

The Slender said the same and also he was rewarded with a purr and brighter light. With each step we took the light touched the ice to make it stronger. Finally we were at the middle of the lake. The figure named Splendorman look rather happy to meet us. "It is a honor to meet the courage's Demon. What can I do for you?" He said brightly with a majestic bow. "Likewise, I'm here to ask you about the newly created Slender. And how come everybody knows my name?" I asked with an sudden feeling this could go wrong any moment. "Ah, so you are the newborn, I've heard about." The tentacles of Splendorman appeared on the end there were small bells. He looked a bit like a Nar with his suit covered in colorful dots and a small top hat with a brightly colored feather in it. "All I know is that my brother wanted to get rid of something, and I do not know what that is, I'm sorry that I cannot help you with that. But about you..." Splendorman's voice became more grim as his attention changed to me and pushed the Slender aside. "Everybody knows you. You're the one that spends time at the time of day." Splendorman said. The bells on his tentacles changed into sharply teethed mouths. They grabbed the Slender just to get it out of the way. The Slender was lift into the air. The being struggled but after a while it shouted in pain. "Don't struggle that much it will tighten the bells mouths, Slenderman still needs you for some reason." Splendorman paused. "You on the other hand shouldn't get too much involved with this newborn." Splendorman finished and looked at me.

I slightly stepped back. Splendorman charged me but he slipped thanks to the ice-nymph that helped me get here. Splendorman bumped into me and we fell down onto the ice. "My bad, my bad." The nymph repeated with a slight laugh and went away quickly. "Ouch... Sometimes nymphs can't be trusted." Splendorman said while rubbing his head. He grabbed my face and stared at me. "I'm not much of a killer, so for beginners Slenderman wanted to get rid of me too, once. But I'm safe now, he acknowledges me as a brother after all, especially after what happened a decade ago. I was once attacked by humans, while I didn't do anything wrong." Splendorman told me. I felt a tear made of blood slide down over my cheek. I had no idea why but it was probably out of fear. Then I had a flashback. My parents never wanted me so they threw me on the streets. I was rescued by some shady figures which were actually very nice to me. One of the seemed invisible to me but was there all the time. Then it ended. I cried. "I know what you mean, my parents threw me on the streets just because they didn't want me. Looks like you brother cared to much about you to do so." I said. Splendorman looked surprised at me. He quickly stood up and straightened himself. "I guess you're right. I wish you good luck on finding your answers young one. I believe you're in good hands. As for you Demon. I have warned you, my brother doesn't really like it when people get involved with thing he does. But even though, if you must, I wish you the best of luck too. By the way be conscious with those tears of yours. It smells really attractive to some." Splendorman said and vanished.
