Slenderman X Reader (Part 1, Prelude)

"God, Damn, It's hot." You mumbled to yourself, fumbling through the seemingly endless garbage in your pockets. "Hottest summer ever." You finally found the cigarette you brought and lit it helplessly in the torturous heat.

"Miss ____!" A child ran up to you. You hurried to put out your only cigarette and hide it.

"And just as I found it, too...tsch." You mumbled to yourself "What is it, kid?" Your mom was a baby sitter, so you'd grown to know all these children, but it just fueled the hatred you had for them even more.

"Your mom told me to come ask you to take me and the other kids to the play place! She's busy today she said! But she said you would do it!" This kid was a bit older. Boy. Maybe Seven-years-old or so. brown, properly cut hair, blue eyes.

You let out and angered sigh, upset that your mother always signed you onto things that she knew you wouldn't accept. But you nodded, not allowing this to get to you.

"Sure thing, squirt. Go get your buddies." At least this gave you a reason to be out tonight You were out of cigarettes, now anyway. You walked up to your moms van and started it. It smelled like stinking, unbathed children, bad McDonalds, and too much perfume for an attempt to cover up the awful smell. You tapped your fingers, impatiently waiting for the kids.

Before you knew it though, the car was filled.

"You guys ready?" You started the car and drove off, turning on RadioDisney. The kids sang along happily and giggled in the background. You weren't fond of it, but it was better than them whining, crying and tattle-tailing to your mother.

But that's when it happened. There was something in the street. It looked like a man. You swerved off the road, losing control of the car and crashing into the ditch. You felt the car roll and heard the screams of the kids. It felt like you hit something, and you blacked out. In your unconsciousness, you thought of where the man could've come from. He hadn't been there, and suddenly, like the static on a tv, he appeared.  

You woke up and attempted to open your eyes, but blood pooled in them. The car was turned right side up. It was upside down when you'd lost consciousness.

"K-kids?" The children weren't in the car. Blood and clothes replaced where they had been.

"What the hell?" You unbuckled yourself in panic, and clumsily stumbled from the car, holding your hands to your bleeding stomach. The heat had made you delirious, even while you weren't awake. "Kids?" You shouted again, leaning against a tree.

You looked around, rubbing the blood from your face. The temperature seemed to be dropping drastically.  Your vision was blurry and your knees weak. You couldn't stand any longer. Against the same tree you rested upon, you allowed your body to fall to the ground. With eyes closed, you felt tears stream down your face. Those children were gone, your life may as well be...

A bitter, nipping wind chilled you to the bone. You opened your eyes, a tall figure stood in front of you, he Seemed to be emitting the icy gusts.

He cocked his head at you, moving closer.


"W-what the hell?" Your sudden fear caused you to attempt to stand to your feet, but they failed you, causing you to stumble and land, once again, on the ground.

He was directly in front of you now. Nothing prevented this thing from killing you.

Was it over? What was he...
