Pressing forward

My head hurts so bad! But according to the doctor I don't have a concussion. Laura said she actually has a friend around these parts that wouldn't mind if we crashed at their house so were heading there now. So let me try my best to explain what happened last night.

We decided it would be safest if Nick and Laura stayed at the car. Actually scratch that I decided it would be safest. So armed with nothing but a dagger I took off into the forest. It was just as I had remembered it. Tall, dark, and ominous. Especially now that I knew what lurked in them. It took me around 2 hours to get to my house. My house is actually located in a small clearing at about the center of the forest.

When I saw my house it brought back a number of unsettling memories that I may or may not get into in the next post. It was rundown looking as though no one had set foot in it for years. Which I guess makes sense because I'm pretty sure nobody had. My house wasn't exactly large, it was more of a small cottage.

I knew HE was following. Slendy isn't exactly subtle. But I went up to my house any ways. I opened the door which looked ready to come off the hinges. The next thing I knew I heard "Suprise!" Right before something cracked me in the back of the skull. I blacked out at this point.

It's impossible to say how much time passed before I woke up. My vision was blurry at first. What I saw in front of me was... Utterly terrifying. We were in my living room. Izzy was to my right flipping the dagger I had brought with me. In front of me was Nick and Laura hanging upside down from the ceiling. At this point Izzy noticed I was awake. She gave me a wicked grin.

Than all of the sudden she got angry saying how mad she was that I had replaced her. She walked over to Laura and put the knife to her cheek drawing a small cut. Asking me 'what this bitch has that I don't!'. She calmed down. Laura looked really scared. I tried to get up and I noticed that my hands were bound behind me.

Izzy told me we were going to play a little "game". She told me I had exactly 10 seconds to choose which of my friends I wanted to see die. She started counting down. I couldn't choose to kill someone. I begged her not to do it. By the fifth second I was crying tears streaming down my cheeks I was on my knees begging. Saying if their was any of the old Izzy left in her the one I loved she wouldn't do it.

She simply gave off a cruel chuckle. She walked over to Nick saying she guessed she would have to kill them both. She put the dagger,my dagger, up to his throat. I was screaming for her to stop. It didn't matter she slit his throat blood shooting from his neck. All I could do was sit their and watch in horror. She said that it looked like daddy wanted my new girlfriend for himself. That's when I saw slender standing in the back of the room, his tentacles slowly wrapping around Laura. Laura was screaming.

Something inside of me snapped. Between seeing Nick die and this bastard trying to take someone else. I'd been bottling my emotions since Izzy disappeared. But this was my breaking point. What I felt at that moment could be only described as pure rage. I jumped to my feet, hands still bound. I bull rushed the bastard. One of its tentacles shot forward. Then this amazing thing happened....... I dodged around it. I felt this amazing burst of energy. Speed and strength I hadn't had before. His tentacles started shooting forward one by one and I just kept dodging until.... I tripped over my own feet.

He lifted me up and brought me close to his face like in our first encounter. But this time he touched my forehead to his. This song exploded in my head. I can't even describe it. All I knew is that it hurt. I needed it to stop! I did the only thing I could in the situation. I reared my head back and head butted slendy. He actually staggered(this may have been my imagination) and he almost seemed surprised? It felt like slamming your head on a block of steel. I thought head butting a proxy hurt this was about 100x worse.

Even though my head hurt terribly, it had the desired effect. He dropped me and Laura. I looked around and noticed flower petals in the air. This was bad sign and I knew it. I looked behind me and saw him for the first time. I don't remember much about his appearance other then the fact that he was smiling. I knew this was the smiling man. I checked if Laura was okay, once she assured me she was she unbound my hands and we got up and we ran.

I only looked back once and I saw smiley and slendy having a stare down. Slendy's tentacles were swaying angrily behind him, as if he was angry at smiley's appearance. We ran and ran all the way back to the car, not stopping once. Laura jumped in the drivers seat and we drove fast away. It was a miracle we weren't pulled over. When we got far enough away she stopped the car and pulled over. I went to ask her why she stopped when I saw her face. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked so scared. I hugged her and she cried on my shoulder. Before I knew it I was crying to.

HIS song is still playing softly in the back of my head.

I can't mourn for Nick's death. I'm sure slendy isn't gracious enough to grant me a mourning period. So I must press forward.

I have to get stronger for Laura and for myself. It happened again because I was to weak. I don't know how I'll get stronger. I have no one to train me.

Ill have to find someone to train me, maybe another runner. We're at her friends house now so I'm going to take a nice long shower. God knows I need it.
