Marble Hooves

Entry 7 (Hotel edit: looks like I caught them up to our real entries. Oops. That's confusing.)

I just met with White Cloud. He seems to be okay. I... Made the mistake of asking about his family. They disappeared after that tape was filmed. I din't tell him I had any tape, or anything like that. but he knew... He reads this. Which makes me worried for whoever else might read this. I don't know if I'm going to post these anymore. This may be the last one I post. (Hotel edit: Woops. Well, I'm just gonna disregard past-me for now.) I caught glimpses of the Slendermane while we were out there. But i remained calm. If I don't fear it, it can't get very close.

"You know, for somepony who's supposed to be hiding, you're doing a f*** up job." He said when we started walking into the woods. We had started at an open field, and now we were going through the woods. I was confused, but I kept walking, I had to know more. But I couldn't let him just talk crap about me like that.

"Yeah, well where were you? I could've used some help when I started writing! I know you've been reading them all. You're my Ponysquare friend, and you follow my brother on his story sites, where I've been posting!" I yelled. He just turned to me.

"I'm honestly not here to help you unless it helps me... I'm looking for Lyh." To this I just shot him a look that said 'at least you're helping now... but that's really selfish.'

He continued talking as we passed an odd tree. " Do you see that tree? about 700 years ago, ponies used to tie criminals hooves to the trees. on hoof to each branch. They believed it would pull them apart and kill them. Most of them died of thirst or hunger though. But there was one pony, he killed seven foals. he was a unicorn until they ripped off his horn... his face came with it. But he was into some dark magic. He vowed he wouldn't die, and he didn't. where his face once was, healed up to nothing. His mane fell out from old age. His body was stretched apart by the tree. The villagers at the time of his hanging, thought that is would be fitting for him to die in his nicest suit. But when he didn't die, they tried to cut him down, and kill him themselves... He killed them all... it was a massacre. And the only pony who could have known about it, died last year. 6 months after I went to him for information on my stalker. The Slendermane has dark powers beyond pony magic. and now he has my Lyh..."

I looked up at the tree, and down again. It was terrible. "You didn't take me here to tell me some fairy tale. What do you need from me?"

He sighed. "I just need your notes." As he was a pegasus, he motioned me to hand them to him with his wing. I gave him a set of copies I printed.

He took them and told me to meet him back at this park the same time the next day. That's tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

Clay's note: whatever that thing is... I've found a friend. WhiteCloud. one of Remy's friends I think. He wants me to meet him and talk about it tomorrow at 3:00 pm. I have a bad feeling. I can't read his mind, he has some kind of lock in his brain.

Hotel edit: I wonder, is WhiteCloud the reason we're here? What happened at the park? I'm worried that what I'm going to read isn't going to end well. We don't know how to open the safes in our rooms, but Clay says that he must've written it somewhere. For some reason, my room is strewn with scribbles of Slendermane... I'm worried that I drew them, but I don't remember.
