Chapters The SLENDERMANE and the eight pages
1: Starting with the book
It was a normal sunny day in equestria The Cutie mark crusaders were doing their normal thing trying to get their cutie marks but this time the failed, so they went to Appleblooms house
As they went in her room and sat on the bed they thought to themselves what the next plan.
Scootaloo shouted "Adventuring" Sweetie belle and Appleboom looked at Scootaloo in confusion
Scootaloo Sighed "We should go on a quest, a mission"
"Were doing that already, remember" Sweetie belle squeaked
Scootaloo was trying to get those two to understand what she is talking about "I'm talking about an adventure like daring doo does"
"Ohhhhh, now i get what you mean" both Applebloom and sweetie belle now fully understood
As sweetie belle was finishing her sentence Applebloom cut her by saying "But what adventure shall we go on?"
Scotaloo paused for a second "Oh oh, Maybe Twilight has something in her Libray, a book of something like Treasure or something"
Sweetie belle and Applebloom agreed on that, Applebloom suddenly said "But can we do it tomorrow after school, it's getting late and i am pretty tired"
Scootaloos smile, turned into a frown "Ok, then see you tomorrow"
The next day, school was done for the day and Scootaloo ran to sweetie belle and Applebloom "So ready to see Twilight?"
Sweetie Belle forgot that they were seeing Twilight to find a book on some sort of adventure or something that would earn their cutie marks in Adventuring
"Oh?...oh yes! of course Scootaloo, lets go" Sweetie belle said with a smile
And so the Cutie mark Crusaders trotted up to Twilight's door and Knocked
Twilight open the door and looked down at The little fillies "Oh, hello girls, can i help you?"
Applebloom smiled "Twilight have you got a book on an Adventure or something"
Twilight Paused and went silent for a minute "Well, what are you looking for specifically?"
Scootaloo Shouted and jumped in the air "ANYTHING!!"
Twilight at this point if very worried of what their up to "Why are you looking for an adventure anyway?"
The CMC all shouted at the same time "TO EARN OUR CUTIE MARKS!!"
Twilight gave a big sigh "Ok, come in"
The Cutie mark crusaders dashed in the Library and started their search
after an hour of looking though all the books, Sweetie belle found a dusty book that was found behind the book shelf, the book looked like it had been there for years "oh Scootaloo, Applebloom i found something
They all sat around Twilight's table, then Twilight's voice came from next door "Is everything alright?"
Scootaloo shouted "Yes, we've found a book so were done searching"
Twilight was glad that they were done they made a bit of a mess on trying to find an adventure "That's great to hear"
The Cutie mark crusaders looked a the title and they read it, the title said "The Chronicles of the Slendermane"
The next thing you know Twilight bursts through the door "WHAT! WERE DID YOU GET THAT!!"
The CMC looked at her, Applebloom wanted to say were they found it, she didn't want to, she let out a big sigh and said "Sweetie belle found this behind the book case"
Twilight was still in shock, "Don't you dare try and encounter the slendermane!"
The CMC looked at each other and looked back at Twilight they all looked puzzled "What's the Slendermane"
"It's only the darkest creature in all of equestria and he's in....." Twilight stopped
The Cutie mark crusaders stared at her waiting for he to finish her sentence. "The ever free Forrest" Twilight managed to finish what she was saying
"The ever free Forrest?!" The CMC cried out Twilight is now regretting what she said
She sighs "Yes, the Everfree forrest but don't you even try to go in there"
The CMC all sighed "Yes, Twilight"
Of course The cutie mark crusaders break their promise and think of going in there the next day
It had been 3 days of planning to go in the ever free Forrest to find the SlenderMane
The CMC we brave to do such a crazy thing like this, they read the Chronicles of the slendermane book, but they did not read the dangers of him and what he does to ponies
The CMC also thought that "since he was very tall it should not be to hard to find him and he won't find us because he has no face" they may laugh now, but when there in the Forrest, it'll be hell.
so as it hit Wednesday afternoon the Cutie mark crusaders were ready, they got their Torch, map, the Book they have everything,
As they were standing Hoof-to-Hoof with the Ever free Forrest the path though it went on forever, the Three little fillies all took a deep breath and went in.
It was getting late Princess Luna had raised the moon and Celesta lowered the sun, the cold dark Forrest was spooky and before
you knew it they were lost as Scootaloo put the torch in her mouth then turned it on
with her Nose Sweetie Belle said "We are lost aren't we Scoot?" "nah, were not lost you see theirs that tree we past when we entered" Scootaloo shouted
Applebloom slowly walk over to her "Scoot, that's the tree we saw 5 minuets ago, we've gone in a circle" Scootaloo had to face the fact that they were LOST.
Sweetie Belle was starting to cry, "But....but we can't be lost, we just can't" and then Sweetie Belle sobbed quietly as applebloom and Scootaloo both sat next to her trying to comfort her
"Don't worry Sweetie Belle we will be out of her in now time, if this stupid map was correct" Scootaloo tossed the Map at a tree which had a note on it saying "Don't look or it takes you"
"Huh, that's strange" Scootaloo pulled off the Note and looked all over it, "Why would someone put this up here especially this far out in the Forrest"
But what they did not realise that it was a warning.

sorry for the mistakes of spelling
The SLENDERMANE and the eight pages
The Note on the tree took the Cutie mark crusaders off guard and they forgot about being lost and focus more on who was the pony that put up this note, why were they out here, this far out in the Ever free
forest, but there thoughts were interrupted by a couple of strong hoof steps, "Applebloom stop making those noises" Scootaloo snapped, applebloom turned to Scootaloo and said "uh that's not me or Sweetie belle"
They all looked around them trying to find out whose making those hoof steps, the steps got louder and louder then stopped, it was silent for a while "Who was that" Sweetie Belle squeaked, then Scootaloo could
feel like there was somebody behind her.
Applebloom realized that too she saw a shadowy dark figure winging behind Scootaloo. Scootaloo, wanted to see what was behind her but she was to afraid to do so, she manged to
get her confidence and turned around very slowly, only much to her surprise their was no pony their. The cutie mark crusaders were very confused, especially Scootaloo, she was the most confused, Sweetie Belle was
still sobbing a little bit, but she said "There is somepony watching us isn't there?" Scootaloo put the Note in her saddlebag and then saw some hoof prints on the ground leading to the darker part of the forest. but
thank Celestia that the sun was rising and the Cutie mark crusaders could now see were they were going, Applebloom spotted the Exit "Hey ya'll, i found the way out" both sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at
were applebloom was pointing, "Alright lets get out of here" Scootaloo shouted, The cutie mark crusaders Ran toward the way out of the Forest, then they were out finally. "We are not going in there again"
Applebloom said while panting, sweetie belle agreed "We should of listened to Twilight"
They noticed it was a school day the cutie mark crusaders ran in the school and were just on time but they still cant stop thinking about what they experienced last night, even Ms Cherlee noticed their lack of
The school bell rang and school was done for the day once again, The cutie mark crusaders still can't get the thought of what happened that very night. They didn't know what to do, do they find this thing
and finish it off, or do they leave it and let it do it's own thing, as the cutie mark crusaders walk through ponyville, they all thought that they should try and ask ponies if they know a pony that but up the notes in
the forest, Scootaloo had the note in her saddle bag and so the Cutie mark crusaders went around town trying to find some answers, so far nopony knew any notes in the Everfree forest, the Cutie mark crusaders
were close to giving up, but Sweetie Belle had just sparked an idea, "I think i know whose got the answers!" Applebloom and Scootaloo both looked at her "Well, who" Applebloom asked, Sweetie belle gave a big
smile "you know who, Twilight" Scootaloo Said "We can't tell Twilight, she'll kill us" Applebloom agreed with Scootaloo, but Sweetie Belle wanted to tell Twilight because she will know what to do and what
all this means, i also looked like that Twilight knew about the Slendermane. So the Cutie mark Crusaders Trotted to Twilight's Library door and knocked, Twilight's voice came from inside "Coming!" after a few
seconds later the library door opened and Twilight stuck her head around the door "Oh hello, again girls" Applebloom reveled the truth "Twilight we all got caught up the the Slendermane book and we all
went in the everfree forest and searched for this thing and we got lost and we found a strange note that said Don't look or it takes you and we want to know what that means and we thought you might know
something about this Creature" Twilight was in shock but was also very angry with them "I told you not to go in there- wait....what note?" Scootaloo pulled the note out of her saddle bag and gave it to Twilight "oh
my gosh, how many of these did you see?" the Cutie mark crusaders all looked at each other, Sweetie Belle turned to Twilight "Just that one" The CMC could see that Twilight was shaking "Oh no, oh no oh no, this
is bad, really really bad when those notes are taken of the place that they were put that Slendermane gets you!" The Cutie mark Crusaders all jumped in shock this was not the best idea for the CMC to do, now
they have don't know what to do, "Twilight can you help us?" sweetie belle said, Twilight was unsure of doing this, but she wanted to finish the job once and for all, Twilight Sighed "Ok, i'll help you" the Cutie
mark crusaders jumped on Twilight and hugged her "THANKS TWILIGHT" they shouted. Night came, Twilight and the Cutie mark crusaders were a few feet away from the everfree forest, Twilight turned to the little
fillies "Are you girls ready?" Sweetie Belle did not want to go in the Everfree forest again after the first time they went in, but she
was glad a grown up was there with them, and she and the others wanted their cutie marks on finishing the Slendermane.
The SLENDERMANE and the eight pages
3: The Forest
Twilight and The cutie mark Crusaders were wondering around the forest trying to find the rest of the notes, Twilight was saying to the CMC that their were 8 Notes, well there were 7 now, since they had picked
up one already. Twilight was still cross with the Cutie mark crusaders, but it was her fault of telling them were Slendermane was, after a few hours of searching they found the 6th note it had a rough sketch of the
slendermane and on both sides of the note is said "NO NO NO NO NO NO" Twilight knew that they were getting close to him, then suddenly they heard Hoof steps, coming toward them, Twilight froze into place
"Girls don't move" the Cutie mark crusaders froze into place, then they all saw a shadowy figure walk pass them, it was the slendermane, it was very tall skinny and faceless, it did not see Twilight and the CMC
behind the trees, then he stopped for a second it turned its head around slowly and then walked off. Twilight was relieved that he was gone "Ok he's gone" Twilight grabbed the 6th note and put it in Her
Saddlebag, so the Cutie mark crusaders and Twilight all kept going to find the rest of the pages, The cutie mark Crusaders are now wishing they never came in the Ever free forest, then Twilight had a plan
"You three i have a plan but your not going to like it" The CMC were not sure of listening to the plan but they need all the help that they
what the cutie mark Crusaders would say but she said it anyway "If we are going to find these notes before dawn, we have to split up" the cutie mark crusaders stopped, and thought to each other and they
agreed, "Ok, Twilight" Twilight gave them directions, "Ok Applebloom you go left, Scootaloo you go right, Sweetie belle you go
forward, and i'll go further on" So the four trotted to their positions, the owls were
hooting, the trees were rustling in the wind, the forest was quite was quiet Applebloom was finding her way around and came across some old oil tanks, she shined her torch light on them it had a label saying
"Equestria oil refinery" Applebloom inspected the Oil tanks a bit more, then found the 5th page it said "HELP ME" applebloom was in shock, but she didn't let paper get her off guard, she picked it up
and put it in her saddlebag before she could think of anything else, she saw the Slendermane...Right...In...front...of...her, Applebloom stopped right in her tracks, there, she was face to face with the
SLENDERMANE, Applebloom had no idea, on what to do, she slowly walked backwards, not taking her eye of the Slender mane, then Applebloom tripped over a log, and then when she looked back at the
slendermane- "Wait, he's gone" Applebloom thought. Sweetie Belle, was wondering around shaking of fear the entire time, but then she found a building that looked like and old bathroom, Sweetie Belle without
thinking ahead, trotted right in the Building, the building was old and it was cold, it's been here for years, Sweetie Belle searched the Building high and low, she could not find it, then she heard Hoof steps it was
not the sound of hoof steps on the dirt and grass, it sounded more like tile hoof steps, and Sweetie Belle found out that the building she was in, had a Tile floor.
The Hoof step sounds on the tile floor, gave Sweetie Belle the shivers and Sweetie Belle didn't think anymore she just ran out of the Building as fast as she could, Then as she was still running, she saw the 4th
page on the tree next to her, there was two things that Sweetie Belle could do, she could Grab the page and most likely get caught,
or she still keeps running for her life.
The SLENDERMANE and the eight pages
Sweetie Belle made her mind, she kept running and hid behind a tree, she put her back on it, she stood silent, then hoof steps appeared, Sweetie Belle was praying to Celestia that it was not the Slendermane
She, slowly turned her head around the Tree that she was hiding behind, then she was thankful that it was just Twilight pulling of the 4th note, Sweetie Belle wanted to go over there to tap her on the back, but
she forgot that they were in the danger zone, Twilight is going to be on guard, "ah ha!, the 4 down 4 to go" Twilight said while looking around, Sweetie Belle wanted to tell Twilight that she was there, but she did
not want to scare her, so Sweetie Belle made Hoof steps and came out of the shadows "Hi Twilight", Twilight jumped out of her skin "AHH!, Sweetie Belle, don't sneak up on me like that" "Sorry Twilight"
Sweetie Belle apologized, Twilight gave a smile "It's OK Sweetie Belle, have you seen the Slendermane anywhere?" then a flash of static blinded Sweetie Belle and Twilight in a split second, "What was that?" They
both said to each other, then another flash of static ran through their eyes, Sweetie Belle grabbed Twilight's leg "Twilight, i'm scared, whats going on?" Sweetie Belle said while looking around, Twilight turned to the scared little filly "I'm scared too,
but we have to stick together, he's around here somewhere" then the static flashes became stronger and they were hurting their eyes, Twilight shouted "Ah, my eyes, the static is too much, RUN!" so Twilight and
Sweetie Belle run away from their location, still running, BAM! Slender mane spawned in front of them, Twilight and Sweetie Belle were blinded by the static of the SLENDERMANES dark power their ears were numbed
by the sound of the crackling static, they could not see or hear. then next thing they know, they blacked out. Meanwhile Scootlaoo just found the 3rd page, "yes, found it," Scootaloo was interrupted by the
sound of a shriek from Twilight, "Uh oh, that can't be good" Scootaloo followed the Scream and then she stopped and briefly saw Slendermane Vanish, "oh no that's not good, APPLEBLOOM!!!" Scootaloo shouted
AppleBloom was wondering in the forest and then heard Scootaloo shout her name, Applebloom ran towards Scootaloo, after a while of running about she eventually found Scootaloo, "What's wrong scootaloo?"
Scootaloo, was in panic, "I-i-i-uh-sweetie-uh-Twi-Slender-got them!" Applebloom just looked at her in confusion, "Uh, come again?" Scootaloo twitching got mostly out of what she wanted to say "Twilight
and Sweetie Belle got caught by Slendermane" Applebloom looked shocked "Oh, well let's find them!" Scootaloo replied with "But the thing is i don't know were they went!" "Thanks Scootaloo, you really helped"
Applebloom said sarcastically. Scootaloo just thought of a plan "well, i think the SLENDERMANE went that way, maybe we can follow him, Applebloom stared at Scootaloo in shock "Uh, no, were not going to go after a
tall faceless monster pony, IT'S SUICIDE" "is saving Sweetie Belle and Twilight suicide, hm" Scootaloo snapped, Applebloom paused and thought for a moment, "Well no-" Scootaloo shouted "Exactly and i say we either
stay here and get lost again, or we go and get Twilight and Sweetie Belle and hopefully find the rest of the Pages and end this nightmare!"
there was a long silence, "Well..." Scootaloo said, Applebloom at this point think encountering the SLENDERMANE was the stupidest idea they ever done, but Twilight and Sweetie Belles lives were at risk, Applebloom gave a big sigh "OK let's do it!"
The two fillies rushed to were the Slendermane was heading, they knew it was dangerous but they were brave , they were the cutie mark crusaders!
an hour passed and there was no sight of the SLENDERMANE or Twilight and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo was getting tired of running
about while panting Scootaloo finally caught her breath "UH Applebloom can we stop for a second my hoofs are killing me"
Applebloom stopped to see to her friend "Ok fine, but not for long we've got a skinny pony to find!" Scootaloo looked up "I don't think
Scootaloo stood up "Because Ponies don't blind you with some kind of static-" Then a flash of sciatic interrupted
"Run" Applebloom turned to Scootaloo "I'm sorry what?" Scootaloo shouted "I SAID RUN!" Scootaloo and Applebloom ran as fast
as they could, then Slendermane chased them, the Two fillies ran for a mile, until the last bit of the mile was going down
AppleBloom and Scootaloo fell down a ditch, and hid in the bushes, they saw the Slendermane look all over the place, he gazed and the floor and trotted off, "Whew that was close" whispered Scootaloo, "Too close" said Applebloom.
That ditch that they landed in, only spelled their doom.

sorry if these feel short

5: Cave dwellers
As this Ditch that Applebloom and Scootaloo fell in did not feel like a normal ditch it was a very deep, that's for sure. Scootaloo turned
to Applebloom "Hey, this ditch is very strange, don't you think?" Applebloom had to agree that there was something odd about this
area, "Well, what do you think we should do?" Applebloom said. But the ditch was deep and long, so long that it had a path leading
somewhere, so the two fillies had the bright idea of slowly following the path, just after a few minutes they found a cave,
"Uh Applebloom did you see a cave here before?", Applebloom looked at Scootaloo, "No, i didn't see any cave here" so the Scootaloo
and Applebloom both thought that the Slendermane could be living in here, because they saw a strange shape on the side that was his
Cutie mark, the Shape was a circle with an cross, and Applebloom and Scootaloo both thought that the Slendermane
took Sweetie belle and Twilight in there. "Hey Applebloom, do you think they are in there" Scootaloo said, Applebloom was in thought
of another plan "I don't know, but we better get help because that thing is going to hunt us down!", Scootaloo scowled "Applebloom
there is no time, we have to get Twilight and Sweetie belle NOW!" The sound of Scootaloo's yell echoed around the forest, then there was silence,
but not for long.
Scootaloo and Applebloom heard Hoof steps coming from the forest, they both go the bright idea of trotting to the cave.
The two fillies were now in the cave, they had no idea were they were going, but all those two know that, were they were was the danger zone
this cave that they were in was no ordinary cave, it had red marking on it saying "Help" "Don't enter" and "Tread lightly"
"Hey Scootaloo, is this the best idea we could come up with?" Scootaloo at this point didn't know how to respond, "Well...it's all we can do"
They have been walking around the Cave for an hour and had no idea on what to do, then they both cane to an unusual area, it was very open the biggest part of the cave in fact,
"Applebloom, do you have the torch?" Scootaloo asked, "Um...got it" Applebloom then tossed the Torch at Scootaloo,
Scootaloo caught it and turned it on, what they could see were Pony bodies hanging from chains their eyes were black
their mouths were gone, Applebloom looked around in fear, hoping that Sweetie belle and Twilight did not end up the same way
then thank Celestia Twilight and Sweetie Belle were OK, but it looked like that they were knocked out, "There they are!"
Applebloom shouted, Scootaloo covered Applebloom's mouth "Shh, we don't want to end up like them, do we?"
Scootaloo pointed to the dead bodies. Applebloom Nodded "Your right" The two fillies trotted up to Sweetie Belle and Twilight,
Scootaloo tapped Sweetie belles head trying to wake her up "Sweetie Belle?" AppleBloom Looked at Sweetie Belle and then punched her arm "Wake up!"
"Sweetie Belle? Twilight? are you two wake?!" Scootaloo shouted but then AppleBloom Shouted as loud as she could
"GOSH DARN IT YOU TWO WAKE UP!" then there was a silence for 3 second and finally twilight and Sweetie Belle woke up
"Huh, what...what happened?" Twilight asked Sweetie Belle woke up and looked all over the place "Ahh, whats going on?"
Twilight used one of her spells to get her out of the chains she did the same with Sweetie Belle, "Applebloom? Scootaloo?
what happened?" Twilight was so confused but AppleBloom and Scootaloo both wanted to say something to Twilight,
"Twlight we are sorry we dragged you into this, we just wanted our Cutie marks so badly" Twilight Smiled and said "You know, there is no such thing as a perfect accomplishment we all had 3 more notes to find and got caught, but i'm just glad your all safe"
So Twilight and the CMC all hugged
but were there reunion was rudely interrupted, by a crash of some rocks, and you know who was there!
Twilight put her arm out in front of the Three little fillies "Girls, get behind me!" The SLENDERMANE was back!
The Slendermane walked slowly towards Twilight and then looked down to her and stared at her
with nothing to stare with just that eternal blank expression Then Twilight stared talking with the Slendermane
"Now listen here you can't just go around the Everfree forest and capture ponies whenever you feel like it!"
The Slendermane looked at her for a while and then was about to walk off but then Grabbed Twilight, Twilight was unable to move
then she stared to feel weird. the Slendermane was Sucking Twilight's Life out, The CMC had no idea on what to do then
Applebloom shouted "HEY LET HER GO YOU...YOU...SKINNY FUCK"
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's jaws dropped, then The Slendermane stopped and dropped Twilight and walked up to AppleBloom
The CMC were corned, but Princess Luna lowered the moon and Celestia raised the sun and the Slendermane Vanished, he only came out at night
The CMC saw Twilight's Body lie on the Ground they rushed over to her,
Scootaloo Checked Twilight's pulse...There was none
Sweetie Belle Pressed her Chest...Twilight did not move
Applebloom nugged Twilight...She did not move
Twilight Sparkle was Dead
