The Day

Today is the day.

So much has happened in what feels like such a short time.

The Second woke me and told me to bring my laptop.

He said today is the day all my questions are answered.

Today is the day my life will end.

He picked me up and carried me out of my bedroom and we emerged in the Path.

We walked for a while.

I had worn shorts and a t-shirt to bed the night before because I figured I wouldn't be given time to change.

This turned out not to matter.

As soon as we entered the path I was wearing a black lace dress.

I don't know how long we walked for.

I wouldn't be surprised if a day or two passed of us just walking.

He didn't seem to be tiring at all from carrying me.

After a short time the appearance of the path began to change.

I can't really describe it.

It seemed older.

The trees grew larger and more gnarled.

The leaves created a black canopy almost like a solid ceiling.

The path was heavily worn with the passage of many.

Yet at the same time I got the feeling no one but us had walked through here in years.

We stopped.

The Second put me down.

"This is the aged path."

"It's the oldest part of The Path."

"This is where it all started."

I asked where The Master is.

He smiled.

"Don't you have another question?"

I must have looked confused because he continued.

"There are no more secrets now."

"There's a question you've asked me that I could never answer I can now."

I realized what he meant.

The Second what?

His smile grew wide.

"The Second Form."

As he finished the words his arms, legs and body began to stretch.

His hair and face disappeared and The Master was standing before me.

We watched each other for a few moments and then he returned to the form of The Second.

You're The Slender Man?

He shook his head.

"Not quite."

"The easiest way to explain what I am is a persona."

"The Slender Man isn't human."

"He can't be human."

"He can't truly understand humans or interact with them in a proper way."

"So if for any reason he needs to interact with a human he uses me."

"My ability to interact with humans isn't perfect, as you've witnessed on some occasions, because my abilities are merely based on his observation of human interaction."

"I think he got me down fairly well though."

I nodded.

But what about The other Slender Man in the Path?

"It wasn't The Slender Man."

"It was merely a denizen of The Path"

"In The Path The Slender Man's and therefore my powers are absolute."

"I called it to me and forged it a new form to deceive Xerox."
"Now then."

"I'm not often used and usually when I am it's just to spy on or deal with his proxies."

"You were a special case though."

Why?

"Because you weren't supposed to be there."

What?

"His targets are chosen carefully."

"He is extremely careful of who sees him and under what circumstances."

"That day you first saw him."

"You weren't supposed to be there."

"You somehow managed to be in the exact right place at the exact right time."

"Don't think that you just got lucky."

"This is something that should be impossible."

"There is absolutely no way you should have been there without him knowing you would be there."

"The Rake called you an anomaly."

"You are an anomaly."

"An unexplainable phenomenon."

"You surprised The Slender Man"

"This is something that doesn't happen."

"He tried to leave you alone."

"Figured you were just a fluke and that it would just go away."

"But then you came after him."

"Started disrupting things."

"He needed to step in."

"So he sent me."

And you fell in love with me?

He looked sad.

"No..."

"I can't really love you."

"I'm not actually capable of it."

"I just thought it would be easier to fulfill my duty if I had feelings for you so I manufactured some."

"I know it sounds horrible and you probably feel pretty betrayed and I'm sure it's no consolation but..."

He paused.

"You never really loved me either."

I tried to protest but he stopped me.

"That night when The Rake attacked you."

"The slender Man embraced you with his arms and manipulated the hormones in your body."

"He made you fall in love with me"

"Sorry..."

I didn't speak.

"Any other questions?"

I shook my head.

"Then it's time."

"Your life ends now."

"There's nothing left for you in the normal world."

"Despite our efforts you will never be free of this."

"If we leave you alone The Rake will come for you."

"You can't live forever as a human among the proxies."

"You don't want to become a proxy."

"There's only one alternative left for you."

What is it?

"Become part of us."

How is that different than being a proxy?

"You will retain your memories and self."

"You will be untouchable by all."

"The same as me."

"You will have power and you will be able to live on."

"Merely another part of us."

"Your appearance will have to change though."

"Join us."

"Become The Third."

He transformed again becoming The Slender Man and held out his hand.

He's just waiting.

I don't know how long he'll wait...

I need to make a decision.

I'm going to take his hand.

Goodbye everyone.

Tuesday 11 December 2012

I was fully happy to go off in silence.

But I realized that wasn't fair.

Tomorrow is the day.

I don't know what's going to happen.

But I'm not scared anymore.

I don't know if I'll be able to communicate with any of you again afterwards.

So this is my goodbye.

With any luck It won't be my last but I make no promises.

Goodbye everyone.

Good luck to you all.

The Worst Date Ever

So for our date The Second took us on a romantic stroll through The Path.

Unfortunately along the way we were stopped by a "friend".

The god damn Rake was standing in the middle of The Path.

He was smiling at us.

The Second shoved me behind him as he faced the creature.

The Second: "How did you get here?!"

The Second: "This is The Master's domain!"

The Second: "You can't be here!"

The Rake laughed.

The Rake: "I had my new ally bring me here."

At that someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me back I felt a gun press against my back.

The Second turned and his eyes flared angrily and black temporarily.

The Second: "Xerox what are you doing?!"

I couldn't see who was holding me but apparently it was Xerox.

Me: "You didn't kill him?!"

A sharp intake of breath came from right behind my head.

Xerox: "You wanted him to kill me you bitch?!"

The gun jabbed hard into my spine but The Rake made a sound and Xerox calmed.

The Second: "He's not being controlled..."

The Rake laughed again.

The Rake: "Why would I need to control him."

The Rake: "You did well enough turning him to my side on your own."

The Second: "You despise being just a pawn for The Master so you join with The Rake?"

The Second: "Trading apathy for contempt is not a wise choice."

The Second: "You're stupider than I thought."

Xerox: "It's not too smart insulting the guy who has a gun pressed against your girlfriend's spine either!"

The Second: "The Master won't let her die here."

The Second: "You idiots have put yourselves in his domain."

The Second: "His power."

Xerox: "The Master can't do a thing cause I'm looking at him right now!"

Xerox: "That's right Lisa. You're little boy toy there is in fact The Master."

Xerox: "How's it feel to know you banged a monster?"

The Second laughed.

The Second: "If I'm The Master then who's that behind you."

Xerox turned dragging me around as well and The Master was standing there looming over us.

I heard Xerox make a choked whimpering noise.

The Rake: "No! Keep your eyes-"

Xerox was suddenly torn off of me and I turned in time to see The Second shove a knife into his face.

He turned and placed his hand on my chest just as The Rake lunged at us.

Then we were both standing in my room.

He looked at where his hand was and then pulled it away.

The Second: Sorry...

I was too shocked by what had just happened to care.

Here and Now

Tomorrow I'm going on my last date with The Second.

Today however I'm watching a proxy freak the hell out.

Apparently one of the other proxies made use of Fracture's Free Market shop and bought The LSD Laced Lollipop and proceeded to give it to one of the other proxies as a gift without telling her what it really was.

She is now in my room.

Why my room?

I have no fucking clue.

She just came in here rambling and then sat in the corner and continued mumbling to herself and occasionally doing something crazy...

I feel like I should just leave the room until she calms down but there's a stubborn part of me that despite all logic says: This is my room she should leave.

So I'm sticking here and still reading blogs while she jabbers like a mental patient and dents the wall with her head.

Speaking of blogs...

So...

Mr. Roark apparently got stabbed...

Somehow he then proceeded to post about his death...

Yeah not buying it.

We know you're still alive so just give us the details already.

Um hmm what else updated recently...

Oh yeah JP got captured again...

Part of me's looking forward to talking to Veigar again.

Sorry JP.

Ok... She's started singing very loudly now and off key so fuck it I'm out.

7 days

I think...

12-5=7

Yep.

The Second said he would take me on another date before the day.

He said we'd go on the tenth.

Till then I'm just catching up on blogs...

I had really been neglecting to pay attention to the people who had helped me along.

Two of them died while I wasn't paying attention.

Swan but I found that out pretty quickly...

And Gargoyle who died Months ago and I just found out now...

He died awesomely at least but still it's sad to know he died and even sadder to know that I had completely stopped paying attention after I had gotten what I wanted from him...

I completely failed to notice he had died...

I am an absolutely terrible person and each new revelation makes this more obvious.

I'm a prejudiced, manipulative, horribly dependent and selfish bitch...

The Second must be crazy to love me...


Monday 3 December 2012

So after that last post I really need to find something to do.

So I've been talking to proxies.

At least the ones who don't hate me.

I've also been catching up on blogs.

I've missed so much while being absorbed in my own problems...

I mean I thought Swan was dead but then I checked and there's this whole big thing going on now and he might not be dead...

The Second's been really busy probably preparing things for...

The 12th...

I wondered why that date.

Then I realized it was 12/12/12

People always put importance on things like that...

11:11 is the wish hour.

June 6, 2006

Maybe repeated numbers actually do have some sort of power or importance...

Either that or The Master is just choosing that date because we put importance on it...

Or maybe it's just a coincidence...

I wonder if The Rake will try anything.

With so few days it seems unlikely.

Still though good idea to be ready for anything.

Sunday 2 December 2012

Question?

Hey Um Second...

I haven't seen you around and there's a question that's been gnawing at me ever since...

Um that conversation we had...

You're not human right...

But um and I really shouldn't be asking this on here but I need to know...

You do have human male reproductive organs right?
