Trapped

Chapter Four

I woke up with a sharp feeling someone's watching me. I could hear the person breathe. I felt unusually cold.

I immediately opened my eyes and he was the very first thing I've seen. He was just standing there, watching me as I put my feet on the floor and tried to stand up.

My head was hurting and my throat was burning. I felt as if someone hit me before I passed out, I couldn't really remember anything.

I finally looked at him, to see him completely. His hair was dark and he was pretty tall. Of course not as tall as Slenderman. That's, as I believe, impossible for a human being.

Suddenly, I heard him speak up:

"Wow, you're finally awake," he seemed to be annoyed and his voice was deep. I chose not to speak. He frowned a little, after he realized I'm just not gonna say a word. "What? You're not gonna ask me why I'm watching you sleeping?"

"Then tell me," I muttered under my breath. He laughed. What's so funny?

"You have bigger problems than that. I'm sure I'm not the only one who watches you sleeping," he smirked. I wasn't sure if he was being serious.

"You wanted me to ask," I frowned. I seriously couldn't understand this guy's way of thinking. I just wished I knew his name, since I don't know anything about him.

"I never said I wanted you to," he shrugged and smiled. I just stared at him in confusion. None of us said anything for a little while.

"Anyway, I'm Tim. Nice to meet you," he kept on smiling. What? How did he know I wanted to know that?

"I'm -"

"I didn't ask you for your name," he hissed at me all of a sudden.

"I was gonna say I'm not telling you my name," I grinned, trying to hide the fact that I'm probably the one being stupid here.

"You really expect me to believe that?"

"I mean, it's the truth," I stated quietly. He looked me straight in the eyes, making me feel nervous. I quickly looked away. He was quiet for a while, he let out a slight sigh afterwards.

"You know I can just ask him," he stepped closer to me.

"But you won't."

"You are right. I won't. You are not meant to be here anyway," he said. What?

"I am more than just meant to be here. It's not that hard to believe, now is it?"

He seemed to be completely ignoring what I just said. Instead he stepped even closer to me.

"Okay, I think that's enough, jeez."

He didn't listen to me, instead he took one more step closer. "If you're gonna get even closer, I swear you're gonna regret."

"And then you're gonna regret for making me regret."

I waited for a second to see if he's gonna say something else.

"Whatever. Is he here? Is he close?" I asked. I wanted to know if my head was aching because of him being near me, since I'm always hurting when he's close and the more he's getting close, the more it hurts.

"Maybe, maybe not. Late at night it's hard to tell. You know, shadows and so on. If he is with you, you should know. You will feel his presence. If not, you are probably not worth it. Although it's very possible it's just paranoia and you should be aware of that."

"What?" I didn't realise it was night time before he told me. I looked out of the window. "Fuck!"

I'm not entirely sure what exactly was going on in my head at that time, but I left the room and I ran down the stairs. He was following me. I then found the door to leave the mansion, I was outside and there was fog all around. He was right behind me. I then ran to the nearest tree and I turned my back. I sighed, looking at the abandoned mansion. Someone was watching me and it was not the guy I just met.

"Dude, what the hell, I didn't expect that," he whined. I just looked at him. He then mumbled something. I tilted my head to the side. "Oh my God."

"What?"

"Don't. Turn. Around." I understood what he meant. There was Slenderman behind me and I could not do much about it. I just sighed.

"Really? Now?"

"What do you mean?" he probably wanted to know. I don't think he expected me to be this calm.

"He's always watching, isn't he? He knows everything," I took a few steps backwards to where I thought he was.

"Goddamnit, don't go there," he shouted at me. "What the hell do you think you're doing? He's gonna kill you!" I then stopped walking. It's not like I was gonna listen to his every word, though.

I then waited a few seconds to do the next thing, pretty much expecting his reaction.

"Good." I started to slowly turn around as he started to run to me, he then grabbed me by the arm and swept me off my feet making me fall onto the ground. I'm not sure what exactly made him fall down after me, but he ended up falling on me."What the fuck were you thinking?" he totally snapped at me.

I just stared at him. We were basically looking into each other's eyes and I could easily tell he was really mad at me. I didn't care. I knew I could have been dead right now, I wasn't thinking he would do that. I was expecting him to let Slenderman kill me. Because, after all, he said I don't belong here. It also doesn't seem like they would let me go and live my life ever again. It just doesn't add up.

I kept staring at him, up until he finally dediced to get off me and somehow managed to stand up, while shaking badly. We were both shaking. I was on the very verge of death, and he was, I believe, annoyed by my irresponsibility to even keep myself alive.

"Seriously, the very least you could do is staying alive. Don't just run to him like that. Someone who is in their right state of my mind would know to stay away," he said.

"Someone in their right state of mind wouldn't be stalked by him and wouldn't be stuck in this place, not even for a day."
