Chapter one.

It was night. He was watching the happy pink one again. She always made him happy with her smiling and cheerfullnes. But he can't smile, he has no face. She was going to Sugarcube Corner, where she makes all her candy and cake. But he can't eat, he has no face. He always wanted to meet her up close, but he would probably scare her again with his faceless white head, his dark suit and his long arms. But tonight, tonight, he was going to try to meet her up close.

'If only I could talk, that would make it a lot easier.' He started walking faster towards her, decreasing the space beteen him and her.

"Hm hm hm hm-hm hm- hm?" She turned to see who was behind her but he had already hid behind a corner. She shrugged and started humming again.

He started walking towards her again.

"Hello?" She turned again but he hid again. "If you're playing hide and seek, you're really good at it!" She turned back... And met face to (?)face with him. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed as loud as she could, waking up the whole town. Some of the ponies looked outside and saw him in front of her. She started running as fast as she could and he started to chase her.

'Not again...' He was hoping this wasn't going as he thought it was.

They reached the town square. He tryed to grab her but instead of catching her, his claws cut through her hind legs like a hot knife through butter.

'Not again!' "UUUUUNNNN!!!!" He screamed in agony but the ponies thought it was a victory scream. If he had eyes, he would be crying.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" She screamed in agony. Blood was gushing out of her wounds.

'I messed up again...' He was trying to leave but a purple aura surounded him, preventing him from leaving.

"You did this to her!" The purple one was suddenly in his (?)face. He main and tail were frazzled, her left eye was twitching and a malicious grin was spreading on her face. "You're going to pay!"

While she was readying her spell, he made himself dissapear in the darkness of the night, leaving the purple one confused.


"Where is it!? Where!?" She was looking around like her life depended on it. The she noticed a piece of paper on the place where it was before.

"I'm sorry" It said in barely readeble letters.

"Is it trying to apologize?" She had calmed down a bit.

"Twilight, I'm taking her to the hospital." Rainbow dash had picked Pinkie up.

"Yeah... I'll look up what that thing was." Rainbow flew to the hospital and Twilight went to the library to look the thing up.


He had returned to the old castle inside of the forest.

'Why does this keep happening!? I never wanted to be like this! Before HE came, I had friends and family. A happy life. But HE had to turn me into this! I don't even remeber my real name anymore. And this voice in my head, telling me to kill them all. Why me?! I just want a friend... Someone that understands me, who isn't scared of me. I just want to go back to my world!' He was freaking out again and was holding his head in his big hands.

"Great work, Scootaloo! We're lost!" He suddenly heard the voice of a filly.

"It's not my fault! Applebloom should know her way around here!" Another voice. He started walking towards the source of the voices.

"That ain't true! Ah only know the way to Zecora!" Another voice. He was close to the source now.

'What are they doing here this late?' He walked through the bushes and saw three fillies. He recognized them.

'Aren't they the Cutiemark Crusaders?' Applebloom looked his way and immediatly started screaming.

"What's the matter Applebl-AAAAAAHH!!" Now Scootaloo was screaming too.

"AAAAAAHHHH!!" And there goes Sweetie Belle. They started running. The voice started screaming:"Follow them! Get them!" Just to make the voice stop he started chasing them, but without trying to catch them.

"It's following us!" "Don't look back!" "AAAAAAHHH!!" All three of them were freaking out. Suddenly, Applebloom tripped over a rock. The other two were to busy running for their lifes to notice it. In a little while the other two were gone and Applebloom was left behind.

"Scoots! Sweetie Belle! Help!" She was panicking. He looked at her left front leg and noticed it was twisted. He picked her up and brought her too the castle. She was trembling and crying of fear.


'Ahmgonnadieahmgonnadieahmgonnadie!' The thing had picked her up and was taking her with him. They reached an old castle.

"Lemme go! Agh!" She tryed to get out of it's grip but her leg was broken. It sat her down and gestured her to stay still.

"Ah need to get out of here!" She tryed to get up but her leg was killing her.

"Ahm gonna die..." She started crying again.

After a while it came back with some wooden sticks and a piece of cloth. The cloth was white with a mark. It placed the sticks around her leg and started tieing it up with the leaves. 'It kinda looks like sumthing they made at the hospital.'

"Uuuh, thanks?" She wasn't expecting it to spare her. And the least she expected was that it would help her.

It sat down in front of her and seemed to be waiting for something. She noticed it's long arms, it's faceless head, it's long and slender body and it's dark suit. It started humming some kind of song.

"Ummm, who or what are ya?" She wondered if it could talk.

It took out some paper and pen and started writing:"I am the Slenderman. I don't remember my real name."

"Slenderman? It kinda suits ya." She wasn't as scared as she was first anymore.

"I didn't want to look like this. HE came around and turned me into this."

"Who's HE?" She lifted an eyebrow.

"No one knows for sure. I've been in this form for the last 70 years."

"That's long. Could ya bring me back to the town? Mah sister's probably worried."

"I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Why not?" She raised her other eyebrow.

"Because I almost killed someone in town." He looked sad.

"Ya did what?!" Her fear was returning.

"I tried to stop her from screaming and running, but instead of catching her, I accidently cut through her hind legs with my claws."

"Oh. But who was it?" She knew she wasn't going to like the answer anyway.

"Pinkie." He seemed ashamed.

"What?!"
