Within the trees (Slenderman x reader)

Chapter 19

The sun began to set as the proxies began to pile into the cabin, after a long day of work and baby sitting. Slenderman followed behind them, ready to make tonight's meal.

Toby rushed in then jumped over the couch, Slenderman tried to stop him but it was already to late.

A sudden yelp was heard, Toby jumped up in surprise, "s-sorry!"

Slenderman walked over to the pair, "Toby you must be careful, really."

Toby looked sheepishly at the female and stuttered another apology. Slenderman looked down at the female as she rubbed the sleep out of them.

"It's alright Toby. It was an accident, I shouldn't have fallen asleep on the couch." She said groggily.

Her voice was sleepy and soft in the way she spoke. Slenderman was internally affected by this, he hadn't really heard someone speak so cutely before.

He regrouped his thoughts and spoke, "how about you make dinner with me (Y/n). We could have a nice chat as we do so."

The (brunette, blond, ect.) looked up at him sleepily and nodded. As she got up she answered back, "yeah sure, what are you planning."

Slenderman walked back to the kitchen, motioning for the female to follow him back, "I was thinking spaghetti, simply but we've all had a long day."

The female followed him as Slenderman telepathically sent all the proxies upstairs. Finally reaching the the kitchen, Slenderman grabbed all the ingredients to make spaghetti, not whole made but they've work all day so it was understandable. Slenderman then grabbed the pots and set them one the stove.

How am I supposed to 'help' make spaghetti, it's literally a one person job. The female thought.

"I don't really need you help to make it, I just needed to go over tomorrow's schedule with you." Slenderman states.

"Oh..." The female trailed off awkwardly.

"At 6:00 we will start training, until 7:30. I'll have Kate help you with combat, she knows her way around it. Then breakfast, then we get started on the mansion build." Slenderman says, making sure that the female was paying attention.

"Alright..." she starts, "but I still don't get the whole mansion thing. Like I get it's purpose, but I don't get what made you think it was a good idea to build it in the first place."

Slenderman sighs looking out the window at the sun setting behind the build. Finishing putting together the spaghetti onto the stove and lighting it, waiting for it to be done.

"When you've lived for thousands of years alone, things get more then lonely." He says sorrowfully.

"Along time ago when I was first brought into this world, when I woke up here not even knowing my name, I walked alone for a good while. Then I came across a village, I noticed at the time that the wore something on them. I will be the first to admit that no, I did not wear clothes at the time. As embarrassing as it currently is, I did not know what clothes were." Slenderman rubbed his temple and continued, "I wanted to be like them, so I stole fabric and wrapped it around my waist like I saw men wear them.

Then I proceed to attempt to make friends, of course that didn't go well. I had never looked at myself since I woke up so I never realise that I wasn't human and had no face, I just assumed I looked like them but taller. Then after being chased out of the village, I eventually came across a pond. I looked at my own reflection and was horrified by my looks.

I lived like that for a good while, staying completely away from humans all together. It got lonely, then one day in the forest I seen a group to kids throwing rocks at something, or someone who was curled up, but from the looks of it; he looked like me.
I scared the kids away, then it- or he- looked at me. He looked almost exactly like me, except he had a mouth with sharp, jagged teeth."

He sighed again remember on how his brother is now, and wondering were he went wrong as they taught each other about the world.

He continued, "he was so scared and afraid of me, but eventually we got along. After the whole "scaring the children away" the told everyone around them what happen, and that I attacked them. Soon enough they started calling me "tall man", but few referred to to me as "Slenderman". I enjoyed that and took it as my name.

My brother though still didn't go by a name yet, however. To make a long story short we found another one of us he looked exactly like me but had such poor vision. Then eventually we found one more, he didn't really look like us, he was some what similar. Tall like us, similar powers, but he was more on the light peach. Not only that but he had a large black smiley face, it was odd but we excepted him none the less. He was called Spleny, an when I told him mine and that the other two didn't have names.

He got all excited and change his name to Splendorman, saying the he "wanted go rhyme with my name" so he wanted all of our names to rhythm. Took him a while but he gave my other brothers names, they fit perfectly with them."

His tone changed to a joyous one as he finished up make the spaghetti.

"Although my brothers and I are split right now, because of this whole "mansion" thing. But my point is: I don't want people like me to be horrified on how they look, I don't want them to feel lonely and like nobody cares like I did for thousands of years before I met my brothers. I want them to know that they have a family, a big one too, that will help them.

I've grown to hate humans because of how they've treated my brothers and I just because of how we look. Then I started to kill them, but I want to take in murderers and monster to save them from themselves. Of course I know I wont be able to take in just anyone, so I plan on taking in the worst of the worst, the most insane criminals to face this planet."

"That's why I do it. That's why I wish to build a home, for people like me to call "home"." Slenderman explained.
