Day One: I have to do this. It killed Twilight. I've started seeing it too. The others, they don't believe me. I haven't confronted Luna yet, I don't know what I would say. I'd found the note. The note I wasn't supposed to find. And I read the last part. It's in the Everfree. And that's where I'm going.
Day Two: I don't want to do this. Celestia's sake I don''t want to do this. It's gotten worse. I think it knows what I'm trying to do. I've been having amnesia, and I think I'm hallucinating. I haven't even gone near the forest yet and it's already unbearable. It's like where ever I turn I feel it behind me. Even when I'm surrounded by ponies, nopony sees it. It can't be a coincidence, it's just like how Twilight described it. And it's horrible. But I have to do this. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going.
Day Three: I'm not going.
Day Six: I thought maybe if I stopped it would stop. It didn't. I couldn't take it. I'm a coward. It's no wonder Rarity doesn't love me, I'm weak. I'm a pathetic excuse for a dragon. That's why I have to do this. I'm doing this for Twilight. For my friends, Luna, myself, and anypony it's killed. I'm leaving now.
Day Seven: This is worse than I ever imagined. In Ponyville, I was surrounded by friends. People I loved and knew. Out here, there's nothing. I'm alone. I tried to find Zecora, maybe crash with her for a night, but I couldn't find her. I stuck to the path Twilight told me about, but it just ended. I think it, Slender Man, might be behind this. It wants me to be alone. None of the animals will go near me. Manticores, cockatrices, hydras, harpies; they all avoid me. I think IT's behind this too. I think it's preserving me. I need to hurry. I found a stash of gems in a small chest. I don't know what to think about that.
Day Eight: I see it more frequently now. I just catch glimpses of it. I can't bear to look at it. It just stands there. I'm scared. The only thing that keeps me going is the though of Twilight. I'm still her Number One Assistant. She gave one last task, and I'm going to fulfill it.
Day Nine: I have it. I have the book, and it's massive. Over two thousand pages. And now I don't know what to do. I never thought about it. I just focused on getting here. And now... When I grabbed it, I felt dread. Dread, sorrow, anger, guilt; a jumbled mess of horrible emotions that made my head pound and my body shake. I swear it was right in front of me.
Day Eleven: Three days here, and I still don't know what I'm doing. This journal has been the only thing keeping me sane. I swore I saw Luna. She was cut, bruised, filthy, and scared. But she was alive. I called out to her, but she didn't answer. I tried to follow her, but she lost me in the forest. Now I'm lost. I don't know which way leads back to Ponyville, or even the castle. The canopy is too dense, and all the branches are too high to reach. The book has been doing strange things. It moves when I'm asleep. It will be open when I turn around. I've read through it. It's a picture book. All mouth drawn. They all show Slender Man. There's rambling and diary entries. Letters and notes. One night, I awoke and found it open. Page 2341. Twilight's note from her desk. All the pages after are blank. I think these might be letters or drawings of ponies it's killed. I wonder if mine will join them.
Day Twenty?: I'm loosing track of time here. I'm running out of gems. I'm running out of time. I've made a campsite in a small clearing. It's a tent made of branches, grass, and mud. I've been reading nonstop for the past nine days I think. I'm only to page 1465. So far there's a common occurrence. The book, and The Alter. I don't know what The Alter is, but I have to find it.
Day Twenty Two: I heard Luna. She was talking to somepony. I couldn't find her, but I kept hearing her. She was shouting in anger. I got lost looking for her. All I have is the book. It slowed me down, but I think I'm actually getting some muscle. I wish I was with Rarity. I wish I was with Twilight. I wish everything was back to normal. I wish this thing never existed. I wish I could just live my life. But I can't, and it won't go back to normal. Not until I stop this thing. I've been reading. The Alter, it's deep in the Everfree. It's in the epicenter of the forest. I don't know how to get there, but I need to find a way.
Day Twenty Three: I'm starving. I ran out of gems to eat, and all the animals run from me. Slender Man is getting closer. It hovers over me when I sleep. When I read. When I write. I'm making progress though. I'm getting closer I can feel it. I'm tired now. This might be my last entry. If so, Luna, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't help more.
Well, I live another day. Barley. I don't have much time now though. It doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would though. It's kind of a relief to know that it will all be over. The Alter, it's what created Slender Man, and it's how to destroy it too. It needs to be destroyed by a highly concentrated bolt of magic. Luna. She's the only chance. I can send this to either Princess with different flames.
Luna, you need to have strength. Don' let Twilight's death be in vain. Don't let my death be in vain. Kill this thing. Do it for your sister, do it for Equestria. Do it for everypony this thing has killed. And whatever you do, don't fight it. Good luck Luna.
~ Spike, Twilight Sparkle's Number One Assistant
Okay, so this story wasn't meant to be a series, but I've decided to make this into a three part story. I've done the best I can to adapt it into a series format, and I hope you all enjoy! Pressure's on now, I had no idea this would be so popular.
If I've made any mistakes, please let me know!
This thing killed Twilight and Spike. Luna your our last hope...
1076572 I feel like Luna doesn't get enough attention, despite her massive fan base.
Let's hope someone FINALLY kills this bastard.
I'm too much of a coward to watch Marble Hornets.
1076610 That's not the only one! There's also Tribe Twelve, and Everymanhybrid!
1076638 I know, but if I can't with 1, I sure as hell can't with 3. Off to watch Disney music video!
1076643 XD, yeah, the thing about Everymanhybrid, is that there is a lot more action. They attack Slendy with a bat, run him over, chase The Rake with knives and machetes, punch possesed people, do karate. It's pretty fucking badass. Scary as hell, but awsome.
I've always been terrified of Slender Man... I've also had my fair share of fear from the 'Weeping Angels' in Doctor Who, but Slender I find more creepy.
Thanks for terrifying me further, good work. Sorin
1076686 That's what I'm here for!
Great! just great! Now I'm gonna have nightmares again and I got work in the morning! >_<
1076838 Another day ruined! It's okay, whenever you start to fall asleep at work, just know, that Slendy is watching you over your shoulder. That should keepy you awake!
1076862 He might as well take me or I can call in sick.
Lol I'm probably gonna rewatch marble hornets again.
Btw have you played the slender game?
NOOOOOOOOO, not Spike! Luna, kill that fucking son of a bitch once and for all. And now that I've said that, I really hope Slender Man doesn't come after me now.
1076908 I have, and I started playing right when they added the fucking fog. The most I've gotten is five. Also, Marble Hornets isn't the only Slender Man channel. There's also Everymanhybrid, and Tribe Twelve. If you watch Everymanybrid, go to their wiki, because their videos aren't numbered so it can be confusing.
1076953
Slendy sees all. Slendy hears all.
No one's gonna hear you,
When your body starts to fall.
Hope that helped.
If you kill Spike, you kill the Source of Swag in the world.
1076982 No, didn't really help. Oh god, why did I yell at Slender Man. I'm looking out my window right now and I swear I saw something.
No where is safe! You can't hide. Even the immortal gods fear, The Man of Slender.
In laymen terms, we are f***ed.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! The suspense is killing me. LITERALLY!
1077294 There's only one more left.
1077016 I've done the same thing. When I was writing the second chapter of Aliens, I had just finished watching Marble Hornets, and Tribe Twelve, and I kept seeing shadows in the reflection of my soda can. After throwing it away, I would see them reflected in the phone screen. I said fuck it, and went to my bed, locked the door, and fell asleep with the light on. And there is NO shame in that when it comes to Slendy.
1076988 Sorry sir, Swagster Spike sacrificed his sacred soul to save us from Slendy. Let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine alliterations in once sentance! New world record.
1077729 Right, I think I'm going to do the same thing because I swear to god man, I keep seeing a figure in the corner of my eye and every time I try to look at it, it disappears. Also, when do you think it's worse time to see Slender Man? When you're by yourself or when when there are other people around and you're the only person that can see him.
you do realize what you've created though. By typing this into the internet, you've created a way to kill SM.
1078108 Oh, it doesn't kill him, it just moves him somewhere else. Specifically, here.
at least as good as the last time! I expect great things from you, sir.
1078859
If it moves us here, t would be sending slenderman back in time. But since slenderman is immortal, he wouldn't really be effected by the alter at all
Part 3 is going to be epic
I see you manged to hit the spot here.
This much attention with about two thousand words. (Amazing words, if I may)
All I can say is:
i.imgur.com/x5GwX.gif
And I'm saying this as a fellow Slenderman fan (If you can call us "Fans") and a writer of a Slenderman story. Yours seemed to have something mine missed.
I'll be most excitedly waiting for more.
1079550 Thanks man! I think it might be the simplicity of it. It's a characters thoughts, emotions, and reactions being told out to explain a story, all in the past tense with no back story. I had no idea that it would be this popular, and I wrote it off the top of my head in about twenty minutes! Oh, and thanks for my first Gif!
1079629
Simplicity strikes again...
The curiosity of the mankind. The secret of success. And you managed to wake it up. I'd post that gif again if I just hadn't.
The best ideas are those that just pop into your head. My story was one of those, and I think I could consider it as a mental jackpot. At least in my standards.
But yours is reaching the borders of a physical one, total of 1,000 views. Best of luck for in achieveing that.
And you're very welcome. I have too much of those gif's, just lying around in the dark corners of my computer, waiting to be pulled out.
Keep writing, and you shall become something great!
1079661 About 90% of my story ideas are thought of when I'm listening to music. As for simplicity, my second actual novel's main characters are exteremly simple. They are two teenage siblings that have no education, and have lived their entire lives in the metro tunnels of London. It takes place roughly thirty five years after the end of the world. They're thought processes are complex, but dialouge and actions are simple. They are compulsive, hot headed, and fear the unknown. It's slow coming because I've never written characters like this, but it's one of my favorite pieces.
1079888
Music is an amazing friend. It helps me, too.
Listening to music while lying on your bed, just relaxing. That's how the ideas are made.
And good luck for the second piece!
NOOO SPIKE..........should i feel bad for not careing to mutch?
1083637 Nah, but I kind of do. That means that I have failed my duty as an author. NOOOOOOOOOOO!
1083745NOOOO The storys awesome bro Its just when something happens too spike,,,,,,,it doesent make me sad it makes me chuckle
1083801 I find that statment ironic, because I was just talking about cold mother fuckers on the Distorted Worlds comments. You would make for an excellent villian my good sir.
1083833Thank you my good sir, Being a villain would be quite awesome
Very nice. To be honest, not as good as chapter one, but still great . I was a bit confused at the beginning, but you built up the suspension nicely. Well done, keep it up :3
I'm gonna favorite this and read in the morning. Because... I... Uh... Need to go to bed! Yeah, that's it.
I'M NOT SCARED!
Ded.
