Chapter Two: The Start of an Unusual Friendship

       Without further ado, I head deep in the woods to look for the "Tall man" they're talking about. It was late afternoon when I realized that they have left the area. But I didn't give up, so I chuckled and head again to the woods until I bumped into what I thought was a tree.

       "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there. Let me help you get up." The voice said to me.

       "It's okay. I'm not hurt at al-." I paused for a moment when I remembered that trees can't talk. Instead, I saw a tall, large, faceless man with things that I refer as appendages. His large hand came close to me and gesturing as he would like to help me get up. I decided to handle the situation I'm in. I took his hand and finally got a chance to speak.

       "Hello there. Thank you for helping me up. By the way, my name is Sarah Marrie Linn, or you call just call me Sarah. May I ask for your name Mister?" I calmly asked.

       "Me?" He said quizzically. "I have lots of names. Der Rifer, Grosse Man, Tall man, all of those are my names. And I am known for them, but you can call me Slenderman. And it's nice to meet you Little Ms. Sarah Marrie."

       "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Slenderman." I replied.

       It's really fascinating, seeing that I'm actually talking to a tall, faceless man. And the funny thing is that I can even tell his emotions and feelings on his face. I can tell right now, he's actually smiling at me.

       Mr. Slenderman said that it's his first time to have a human friend. He's also a loner, just like me. Many people are afraid of him. The townsfolk treated him differently and he began sick of it. So he decided to hide in the woods because they were the tallest things around. He was really surprised to see a girl would innocently come to him and became his friend. He also said that a bunch of kids would come into the woods to play a prank on the other kid. I knew he was referring to those bullies and their victims. So I told him about it and he said that he can handle it by himself.

       Suddenly, I remembered it was almost dinner time and I need to go home. I bid farewell to my friend and promised that I would come and visit him whenever I can. I even gave him my extra sandwich as a sign of our new friendship.
