The Tree man

(A Slender Man fan-fiction)

In the dark forest I see you hiding, the moon is full and the trees do not give you away. But I know you’re there for I know very well that you are the one that took them away, you took them to your wonderland, you took them away from their families and friends, and you took them away from me.

I try to fight but I’m too scared, I try to run but my legs won’t move, why do you continue to make me suffer, and what do you want from me? Why me? WHY?

You hide in the trees watching me, waiting for me; I slowly stand and move for cover; through the forest, past the cabin, up the bridge and down the ditch. I run but I can here you, you’re calling my name, you sound wispy and evil; the sound of a dying victim.

Climbing the ditch, under the old bridge, past the rabbit skins, falling and tumbling as I run in a panic; stumbling to catch my balance and turn behind see you are not where you are. Stopping in my tracks and catching my breath while wiping the sweat off my head, my eyes dart from left to right up and down and I saw only the trees…

What do you want from me?

I see your symbol on the trunk of a tree and one set in with rocks on the dirt. I see your signs that you are coming, so why do you not show?

I hear the wispy mumbles, I run in a panic, my heart pacing fast but my legs are not moving fast enough and my lungs are not taking in enough oxygen. I see my salvation; a place to hide but I start to slow down, everything begins to move slow, the leaves, the wind even my body, my reaction is not fast enough, I try and run but I can hear you again. Your mumbles from your past victims, I hyperventilate trying to move faster, “leave me alone!” I pick up speed! I move like I’m on the track! Everything moves high speed I start to reach my destination, running, running, running is all I can do, the air I breath was filled with fear and hopelessness and then with out looking…it all went black.

“Uh…” the warm taste of blood was in my mouth, my nose was sniffing the Metallic odor that dripped, I looked up and saw a tree branch covered in my blood. I looked to the sky and I saw droplets of rain from the evil black storm clouds, I’m too tired to move, I forgot what was chasing me, my eyes slowly looked to the corner and I see the cabin and I saw the symbol on the door…my eyes widened with fear as I struggled to stand, trying to get off the ground that seemed to have me magnetized to the ground, I see the darkness of the forest and the orange glim of the orange moon on the wet leaves. My breath is heavy and my eyes are dry, my voice sounds Wheezy and my skin shivers from the touch of rain. I can hear the screams and I run.

I run through the forest away from the cabin in your territory, I stay away from the trees as they seem to move and follow me.

The dark lullaby began to echo in my ears and I look to my side and I see…

The black as the plague suit, the figure of a tree, the limbs of slithering snakes, and your face…no…your head, the head as white as a corpse, your not even moving and you seem to be getting closer. I feel the tree’s grabbing at my clothes, the branches wrapping around my legs and arms. I struggle from the grip but it only gets tighter, I see you getting closer and faster, the dark lullaby gets louder and louder. I can’t take it any more as my sanity breaks out and I give a blood-curdling scream. As I see your head coming closer and then…everything. Goes. Whit-
