The slender one.

Chapter six.

While Twilight was going to ask some questions to the victim and her parents and The Doctor was searching for clues in the house, The Slenderman was heading towards Canterlot. He was currently passing Sweet Apple Acres.

'The ghouls can be fun to play with, but I really want to go for a bit of sight seeing. That castle, Canterlot was it?, seems like a nice place. It's 6 pm, so It'll be dark soon.' He took a quick look at the farm and continued walking.

"Wait!" A familiar voice called out to him. He turned around and saw a familiar filly with a familiar bow running towards him. "Where are ya going?" Applebloom asked.

"To the castle over there." He wrote and pointed at the castle.

"To Canterlot? But aint that pretty far by hoof?" The yellow filly asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have long legs." He replied.

"Can ah come too?" She started using the puppy eye look, and he knew this was an unfair battle.

"Fine, but don't blame me when your sister gets angry. I don't want her to buck me again." He shuddered at the thought. He picked the filly up and continued walking.

"Ya know, walking isn't a very fast way ta travel."

"I know. Hold on."

"Wait whaaaaAAAA!!!" He suddenly started running at insane speed. He was litterally zooming over the land. At was almost like he wasn't touching he ground anymore. The red maned filly was grinning from excitement.

"Do you like it?"

"How are ya still able ta write?!" She said, still grinning.

"Magic." He replied, but the red maned filly wasn't even listening anymore.

'I'll take that as a yes.' The Slenderman thought to himself. He looked around him and noticed a few cities and villages. Suddenly, a all too familiar voice started talking again.

Kill her! It said, pure hate and madness eminent in it's voice. He tried to ignore it but after a while he felt the beginning of a headache. He stopped running when they neared another forest and sat down behind one of the trees, putting Applebloom down.

Kill her! Rip her apart! I want to hear her *scream*! The headache became worse.

"Why did ya stop?" The filly asked, looking a bit worried. "Are ya tired?"

Poke her eyes out! Rip her tongue off! KILL HER!

The headache became near unbearable. He grabbed his head with both hands and started shivering.

"Slendie? Are ya sick or sumthing?" The yellow filly looked scared.

"Ittie, bittie, little foal, how I wonder what's your goal!" This time, Applebloom heard the voice too. She started backing up, never losing sight of Slenderman.

"I am going to make you pay, no there is no other way!" Applebloom faintly saw chains attached to his body, and all of them were covered in small scribbles, circles with a cross on it. It didn't take her long to figure out they were drawn with blood. She started crying and lie down, practicly scared out of her mind.

"Ittie, bittie, little foal..." The voice paused and chuckled madly. At this point Slenderman was in a state of pure panic, shaking madly. When the voice continued it was darker, lower and filled with hatred. NOW I'M GOING TO TAKE YOUR SOUL! As the voice finished his mad singing the filly's mind couldn't take it anymore. She fainted and as soon as she lost conciousness, Slenderman's migraine became bareble again.

'How long has it bin since I had one of those moments? And why didit  have to be with Applebloom around!' He punched the ground out of frustration and desperation. Frustration, because he had almost decided to kill the red maned filly and desperation because he was sick of it. Sick of being a monster, sick of killing, sick of the mad voice, but most of all, he was sick of being alive. He justed wanted to die, but he could only die if another creature like him destroyed the grip He had on him.

'I hope she'll forgive me.'

Good luck with that, *Slendie*... The voice replied mockingly.

He walked over to the quiet body of Applebloom. 'She's still alive and in one piece, I hope her mind is too...' He picked the filly up and looked at the sky, noticing it was as good as night, enabling him to move even faster. He took a step... and dissapeared.

Applejack was sitting in the dining room, waiting for Applebloom to come home.

"When that filly returns ahm going to give her a scolding of a livetime!" She said furiously. She looked at the clock on the wall and noticed it was almost 8 pm, worry replacing her anger. She started pacing anxiously around the room.

"Ya sure ya don't want to go to bed? Ah can wait for her if ya want to." Big Mac said, just as worried as his sister.

"Ahm not going to bed until that filly is back home again! She didn't even finish her chores!" The orange mare said, angry again. Big Mac sighed. He knew he wasn't going to convince his sister, but he couldn't help but try.

*knock knock* It sounded from the door. Applejack walked to it and opened the door. At first she saw nothing but then she noticed a shaky breath. She looked down and gasped in horror.

"B-B-Big Mac!" The blond maned mare said shakily. The red stallion walked over and his eyes went wide too. Applebloom lay in front of them, looking pale and breathing shakily. There was a letter next to her. While Applejack carried their little sister upstairs he picked up the letter.

I am sorry for the state Applebloom is in and you can blame me if you want to. I wasn't carefull enough and I'm afraid I traumatized her. Again, my cincerest apologies.

~Slenderman.

When he finished reading his eyes narrowed and he snorted.

'When ah see that motherbucking creep ahm going to buck him till he's black and blue.' The red stallion thought, and boy was he angry.

Slenderman had almost arrived at Canterlot. The sound of the voice still echoed through his head.

'Ittie bittie little foal... Huh... Sounds familiar...' He mentally sighed and hung his head. He didn't notice he was walking towards a wall until he walked into it. Rubbing his head he saw that it was one of the castle walls. He took a step... and was suddenly on top of the wall.

'I never thought it would be usefull in this way. Probably because I didn't get out much.' He thought to himself. He took a look at the city and it's breath taking vieuw. This city was a lot different from those ugly modern cities in the human world. Allmost all the buildings were made of a beautifull white marmer. And the castle, oh, the castle was more beautifull then anything he had ever seen. It was also made out off white marmer, but the form of the castle was simply amazing.

'Let's take a closer look... And I really should stop having mental conversations with myself.' He jumped of the wall just as a night guard came around the corner. The guard ran towards the edge, he looked down and saw nothing but the road. He shook his head and muttered:

"I really should take a day off." Before continuing his patrol.

Slenderman was walking stealthily towards the castle, taking in the beautifull buildings. When he walked around a corner he saw a young filly sitting lonely next to the road. He backed up a bit to stay out of sight and took a look at her. It was a pegasus with a light blue coat and a green messy mane and tail. Her mane and tail were too long, she was covered in dust and she looked like she hadn't eaten for months.

'She can't be much older then Applebloom! Why isn't anyone helping her?' He thought. A stallion in fancy clothes, carrying saddlebags, with a brown coat and dark brown mane and tail walked towards the little filly. The filly looked up at the stallion and said:

"Do you have some food for me mister?" She asked weakly.

"And why should I give food to some worthless filth like you? It's scum like you that ruin this society. Now get out of my sight!" The stallion replied. He turned to walk but bumped into something. He backed up to see what it was and in front of him was Slenderman. And Slenderman wasn't happy. The stallion opened his mouth too scream but Slenderman grabbed him by the mouth and took the saddlebags. He tightened his grip on the stallions mouth and the look in the stallions eyes said he had gotten the message: scream, and you'll never scream again. He dropped the stallion and the stallion scurried away as soon as he was standing again.

'I hope not everyone is as stuck-up as that guy.' He turned towards the little filly and saw that she had retreated into an alley and had covered her head with her front legs. He carefully walked towards and sat down in front of her. She took a quick look but retreated again with an 'eep!'. He opened the saddlebags and found some bread and some water. He placed both of it in front of the blue filly and patiently waited.

She slowly took away her front legs and slowly crept towards the food, the hunger stronger then her fear. She looked at him, expecting him to attack her but he instead pointed at the food and then to her. The green maned filly slowly started eating, never looking away from him. When the filly finished eating, hegot up and continued his walk towards the castle.

'Poor thing shouldn't be left alone like that.' He thought, actually wanting to help the filly some more. He heard something shuffle behind him. He turned around and saw a bit of green hair poking around the corner. If he could, he would have chuckled at the sight. He pretended that he hadn't seen her and continued his walk, mentally smiling at the blue filly's attempt to follow him. He walked around a corner, waiting for her to come around the corner too. As expected she bumped straight into his legs, making her fall over. She got up and looked at him expectantly. The fear in her eyes were replaced with curiosity.

"Tell me, why are you following me?" He wrote.

"You helped me out and I have no where else to go, so... I wanted to come with you! Can I please come with you?" He was taken aback from this. 'I'm not turning into some Mary Sue character, right? And how do I even remember what that is?' He shook the strange feeling off and wrote his reply.

"Depends on how quickly you get scared. Are you afraid of death?"

"Not really. It can't be worse than having to eat rotten fruit for dinner and starving for months." This filly was different from most ponies or people. She reminded him of... 'No! I promised myself to forget her!'

"Fine. But I hope you don't mind sleeping in a forest."

"Yay! Finally something else to sleep on! The road isn't nice to sleep on." She walked past himntowards the castle.

He tapped her on the shoulder. "Where are you going?"

"To Canterlot castle! That's where you were going right?" She continued trotting towards the castle.

'She's smart, I'll give her that.' He shrugged and followed her.

Author notes: I apologize if you think this was too rushed, if you think it's another unnecessary character or if you think Slenderman is becoming a Mary Sue character. I was planning on adding this character for a while and this was the best way I could think of.
