It was Saturday, and Lana was chilling at her desk in her room, her desktop fired up. She was doing research, but it wasn't for school.
She was still bugged from Thursday night, and she just had to get to the bottom of whoever, or whatever, that was in the woods, this... Slenderman...
She was surprised she had never heard of Slenderman... the whole internet seemed crazy about him/it. She spent two hours reading and watching anything and everything, trying to learn all she could. He was an urban legend, started on a forum called Something Awful in 2009, and grew quickly from there. There were many theory's on how and why he existed. Some references said someone made an exact replica, and then took a picture or filmed that replica, forcing Slenderman into existence. Another theory said he was from a whole other dimension. No one seemed to be 100% sure of how he came about.
It was unclear as well exactly what he did with the people he stalked (stalking includes standing and staring from a distance, dreams or visions, or staticy sounds and videos.) Some say he stabs his victims, take out their organs and impaling the person on a tree. Others say he sends his 'Proxy's' to do the dirty work. Others say he simply freaks the hell out of people, and nothing more.
Lana continued looking through search results, until she stumbled upon a news article. On May 31st, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, there were reports of a stabbing in the woods, involving three 12-year-old girls. The three of them were classmates, and had a sleepover together. Two of them had brought the the other out to the woods, and stabbed her with a long kitchen knife 19 times in the legs, arms, and abdomen. The victim then dragged herself out of the woods, and made it to the side of the road, where a cyclist found her and called 911. She was rushed to the hospital, where they performed surgery on her for six hours. The attackers had barely missed her heart, but had stabbed two major arteries. She barely made it, and is now going about life normally.
The two attackers claimed that they had good reason to try and kill their friend. They were scared Slenderman would hurt them and their families. In order to prove themselves, and hopefully become Slenderman's 'Proxy's', they had to kill someone as a sacrifice to him.
Well then... that's intense... Lana thought. She sat back and thought for a moment. She spun in her chair to face her window, which faced the woods. She didn't see anything, which comforted her. She spun back towards her desktop, and started playing with her brown hair, draped over her shoulder. Obviously, there was a Slenderman. She glanced down at her cellphone, sitting on the desk. She quickly grabbed it and punched in some numbers. She had no idea what to do with any of this new information.
But she knew someone who might.
