One Shot Series

Frank's POV:

Great. What have I got left to live for? My friend Ray got killed a few weeks ago, my parents hate me, my friend Bob committed suicide not that long ago, I'm bullied, I'm gay, I'm depressed, and my life is shit. I've heard that rumour about this being named slenderman. Apparently he's this scary monster that lives in the woods. I mean nobody wants me here anyways so I can't think of a better way to die. I like the woods anyways.

I leave my shithole of a house and start walking towards the woods. The one that everyone claims is haunted. I could honestly care more. I don't care if there's a monster in there. I just came here to die.

I start walking into the deep woods with nothing but my clothes, a last meal, my favourite guitar and myself. If I am going to die I want to die with the few good things I have left. I only want to be with the things I like. If only Ray and Bob were still here.

I reach a small river cutting into the forest. There is a small rickety bridge but I decide not to cross it. I sit at the base of a big old tree and close my eyes for a minute. Nothing is around me. I'm a tad hungry so I pull out my food. Pasta. My homemade pasta. I hear some rustling in the bushes nearby. A small kitten walks out. It shyly walks towards me. I put part of one of my meatballs out for it and it eats it. I give a light smile and it walks up and sits in my lap. I give it a small pet. I grab my guitar and string it over my shoulder. I start playing a few songs I know. The kitten is cuddled on my lap quite happily.

"Hey little guy. Your owner must be worried about you. I wish I could keep you but I'm going to die soon. I guess you can hang out with me until then." I tell it softly. It stays in my lap and purrs. I stare down at it with tears in my eyes. "You must have such a simple and happy life." I tell it quietly even though I know it won't understand.

I lay there with the cat for a while. I don't care how long I have to wait. I'll die here if I have to. It's a bit cold out but I hope that can help me with my plan of dying.

I hear something big rustle through the forest. It's approaching quickly. Maybe this will kill me. I stay seated and look at the cat and the ground. Suddenly I see two feet infront of me. Both clad with black converse. I look up. This must be slenderman. He's faceless. He's lanky and is dressed in all black. It just keeps its head turned towards me. I just sit there looking at him/it.

"Hey." I say quietly. He cocks his head in a confused an jerky matter. "I've heard the stories about you. You give people three chances to escape you. Most fail. I'm just going to ask. Please kill me now. I don't want a chance. I don't want to live." I tell him/it quietly. It reaches its hand out to me. I pick up my guitar and the kitten and grab its hand. It pulls me up.

"You aren't scared of me?" I hear a voice ask. It sounds like a boy my age. And he's from Jersey too. That's rare to hear in California. The man keeps... I guess looking at me? I don't know but he's facing me.

"No. I'm not afraid of death and things like that. I've been waiting to die. My only two friends died. My only friend now is this kitten." I tell the being infront of me. It grabs my free hand.

"I know how you feel. That's my kitten, his name is Mikey. I'm not going to kill you. You are an odd kind. Just come with me please." It says to me softly. Although it has no mouth it seems to talk just fine. I nod as it leads me through the forest and to a small log cabin. We walk in and he closes the door and turns the lights on. "Welcome to my home." He says shyly.

"Thank you." I reply shyly. He grabs my hand and leads me through his house and to the living room. He sits on the cusco and pats the seat beside him.

"I'm sorry. Um, this isn't really what I look like but I'm some kind of monster so I can change forms. Let me just change back into what I really look like." He tells me. I nod. I see his body shift as it transforms. Once he's done a kid about my age is sitting with me and boy is he the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He's tall but not as tall as he was. He actually has a face and it's so beautiful. He has these amazing green eyes, pale skin, a small nose, cute little square teeth, fire red hair and has the cutest shy smile. "Sorry, I didn't properly introduce myself. My real name is Gerard. I heard that I'm known as slenderman though. What's your name?" He asks me quietly. I give him a shy smile.

"Um, nice to meet you Gerard. My name is Frank, the most hated kid in town." I say. He moves closer to me and pulls me in a hug. It's weird. I've only been hugged when I was little and not a fuck up.

"I'll save you Frank. There is a reason I do what I do. My parents and little brother were killed years ago. He was just a baby and I was very little. My mom told me to eliminate all evil in this world and that's what I have been doing. So far you are the only good that has come into these woods." He tells me. I start sobbing. The thing is, I'm not good. That's what I have been told. I'm the worst you can get.

"I'm not good Gerard. I'm apparently the most evil you can get. I'm willing to die, I have no friends, I'm failing school, I'm mentally ill, I'm gay, I'm the monster here. Please end my life Gerard." I tell him as I break down in tears. He pulls me on his lap and rocks me gently. He hushes me.

"Shhh. Calm down. I must be as evil as you then. Look, Frankie. You are so good. There is a reason you are willing to die, I'm your friend if you want me to be, it's not your fault you are failing school, there is nothing wrong with mental illness, I'm gay as well and there is nothing wrong with being gay, you aren't a monster. I'm not even a monster. I'm just different because I can do things normal people can't. I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to protect you." He tells me in a hushed and caring voice. For someone that kills people he's probably the nicest person I've met.

"T-thank you Gee." I say quietly. He looks in my eyes and smiles softly. He kisses my forehead and holds onto me gently.

"It's no problem Frankie. You can live here with me. I have tones of food and I know how to keep us really safe. I scare a lot of people. I know who's bad and who's good. Everyone has an aura. Your aura is the purest I've seen. You wouldn't leave the forest though. I wanted to know why. I saw you with Mikey. Mikey usually doesn't cuddle up to people like that. I didn't know why someone so pure like you would come to the forest. I needed to get you out or protect you in some way. I though I'd scare you out. You weren't scared though. You are very special Frankie. I do have to warn you though. If you are near me for even a day or two you could end up becoming what I am too. You are already being exposed to a lot of supernatural powers and they change people. When I go and kill the evil people they aren't exposed to the power properly. They will never turn. Just warning you of that now if you want to stay with me." He tells me as he continues to hold onto me. I don't care about what I become. He's the only thing I have other than my guitar.

""Thank you Gee. I'm a good cook. I don't care if I end up like what you are. You are the only good that has happened to me in a long time. I don't have any clothes and stuff though and you are a lot taller than me. I can see auras too Gee. That's the one thing odd that I've always been able to do. I can't see my own but I can see yours. It's so pure. Nobody from the outside world has one as pure as yours. A few people have pretty pure auras but you. Your aura is amazing. I wanted to die. Thank you though Gee. I'd love to live with you. I'm not scared of a lot. Mainly just spiders." I say with a bit of a giggle. He giggles a bit too.

"Hey Frankie. How about we go back to your old place and grab all of your stuff. I'll keep you safe. I promise." He says to me and kisses my forehead again softly. I smile and nod. I stand up and he does too. He softly holds my hand as we walk out the door and through the forest. I lead him to my place. My parents aren't home. Phew.

We walk in my old house and go up to my room. I grab the biggest suitcases I can find and he helps me pack up. I pack my clothes, my laptop, my music, my makeup and a bunch of blankets. I grab my earrings, my lip rings and my nose rings and pack those too to finish it all off. "Oh, grab your legal certificates too. We don't want any evidence of you so we can start off new." He tells me. I nod and grab my documents. I grab a few bags and he grabs a few bags. He holds my hand once again and leads us to our home. I have all of my movies on my computer so that makes me happy.

We get back to our house and sit on the couch again. My hand still in his. Both of us don't make an effort to pull away. A movie is thrown on and we both end up cuddled into each others side. It's comfortable.

"Thanks Gee. Thank you so much for doing this for me. Nobody has ever been this nice or caring to me." I tell him and play with his hair with my head on his chest. He hums lightly.

"It's not a problem Frankie. I'll treat you properly. I won't let you get hurt. You are the pure in this world Frankie. I'm here for you." He tells me softly as he plays with my hair too. "I'm going to ask something I don't know how you'll react to but if the answer is no I hope we can still be friends." He tells me. I stare up into his beautiful eyes. "Would you maybe like to be boyfriends?" He asks shyly. I smile and sit up properly. I kiss his cheek.

"More than like to. I'd love to be your boyfriend Gee. Even if our relationship does end can we still be friends? You are my only friend Gee." I tell him. He kisses my cheek. We both smile.

"Of course Frankie." He says. We cuddle against each other again and fall asleep somewhere during the movie.
----------------------
It's been a few days since I started living with and dating Gee. I'm like him now. Apparently we are shapeshifters. I scared him once by making myself look like him, then he made himself look like me.

I've been helping him hunt evil too. He goes into that slenderman look and I look like a little girl who follows him around. Apparently it's really scary.
----------------------

He cowers back in fear. My own father. I give that creepy girly giggle that comes with the form. Some forms change your voice. I find that pretty cool. Anyways, Gerard and I stand staring at him. Well, me staring and Gerard looking in his vague direction with his faceless body.

Gee holds up three fingers and puts his hand down. I giggle again. "He says you have three chances to escape. If you fail you die." I say with another giggle. Gee and I hold hands all throughout this to make it even creepier. "Run." I say in a voice deeper than my real one. My dad stands up and runs.

Long story short, we catch him. Easy catch. Too scared to run far. Gee's way of killing is interesting. He gives them heart attacks. I sit watching in awe. Before my dads final moments on earth I change back into my normal form and stand over him.

"How does it feel Dad?" I hiss at him. Gee stands behind me and changes to his normal form. "Being a jerk can kick you in the ass." I growl at him. Gee sighs and kisses my cheek. My Dad's aura faded out meaning he died. "Thank god. One more asshole down." I say and Gee giggles. I hear cop cars in the distance. Gee and I go into hiding. Only two of them. Their auras are rotten. They need to be killed. They reach my dad and speak over the radio but it doesn't work. Gee and i's presence fuck with the signals.

He smirks. "Make yourself look like a kid who's been running from something." He says. We both look like beaten kids. We start running towards the cops and yelling for help. "Please help us. We saw something and it was trying to kill us. It was a tall man in a suit and a little girl!" Gee says with a shreak. I nod frantically.

"Calm down. We just need to pick this guy up and we'll bring you back home." One of the cops says and they both turn away from us. Gee and I transform into that slenderman and little girl duo. We grab each other's hand.

"You should never turn your back on someone in these woods." I say with a giggle. They turn around with a horrified look. I see Gee put his hand on his heart and point to both of them. I get the message. "Oh! He says you two will die now." I tell them and bounce. "Can I kill one of them?" I ask excitedly. Gee nods. He walks to one cop and I walk to another. I rip the guys heart out of his chest and giggle. Gee snaps the guys neck. We leave the scene without a word.

We get back home and revert to our normal forms. We fly into a hug and quick make out session. Gee changed my life.
