Chapter 2

Raven's P.O.V.

My name is Raven, my life wasn't as happy as any other. My mother was called Lila Lockhart and my step father is called Peter Lockhart. I have been with my stepfather since a baby, and even though no-one ever told me I know he is not my father.

I have red eyes and white hair, and he doesn't have that, neither does mum. I inherit my mum's personality, kind and welcoming to everyone. I always smile, even when I put up with my step father.

Ever since I was five he has abused me, but my mum doesn't know about it at all. She is oblivious to everything, he keeps it from her and threatens to kill me if I say anything.

I pity my mum, because she lives life smiling, every single day she has smiled, laughed and just talked to my stepfather and me. Not knowing what pain he put me through. He puts a show on for my mum, and I pity her because she is living a lie, she doesn't know who her husband really is. But I bet, if she did....

My mum is currently out, so you know what that means...

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him growl and throw another punch towards my already bruised face, it did hurt, but not as much as his worst punishment. I get locked in a torture room for up to a week. He lies to my mum saying I've gone to my friends house. If only she knew that I was an outcast without friends... If only...

"Are you not listening to me!?" He screamed in my face, spitting everywhere. My face scrunched in disgust, now I have his germs all over me.

"I'm s-sorry." I stuttered, scared of his next move. His face was red in utter rage, and sometimes, he just never stopped himself, until mum's car pulled up in the driveway.

"Right! That is it!" He growled and dragged me by the hair down to the basement where the torture room was. No, no no no no no!

"Please! Stop, don't do this to me!" I pleaded "I'm sorry!"

"You need to learn." He huffed and chained me to the wall, sticking a ball gag in my mouth and restraining my hands and legs with rope, just to make sure I couldn't get out, but with the gag and restraints.

Getting out was impossible.

He was always telling me that I need to learn. But what? What do I need to learn? It's him who needs to learn! Tears already threatening to spill. He advanced towards me, a creepy smirk on his face. Almost like a pervert's.

"I'm trying a new tactic." He spoke, grabbing my thigh.

What is he going to do? He rips off my pants, cating them to the side, so i'm only in a tank top and underwear. Oh god! Please no! He takes a pair of scissors and cuts my tank top off, along with the rest of my clothing. He eyes my body hungrily and I just burst in tears. His hand moves up to caress my breast causing a whimper to leave my lips. He removed his clothing and grabbed my restrained hand and made me cup his manhood. He kept one hand on mine whilst he trailed down to my womanhood.

"It's going in either way Raven. Don't deny it." He growled

He made me rub his manhood before he took my hand away and slammed into me. I screamed into the ball gag in absolute pain. It was so loud I bet the next door neighbours could hear.

Over and over again he did it. After about the tenth time I lost all feeling. The only sounds came from his grunts and breathing. By the time he was finished I felt totally disgusted with myself. I hear a zipper being zipped, telling me he is getting dressed. I really hope this was the end of it but knowing my luck it wasn't.

I was correct. He went over to a table and grabbed the biggest knife he could find, it was a massive butcher knife. My eyes widened like saucers as he walked over to me slowly, letting every moment seem like a lifetime.

When he finally got over to me he held the knife up to my face.

"What would happen if I moved a little closer? You'll have to learn." He growled and inched closer, making the knife pierce my skin. He dug the knife in more and started to move it around the edge of my face, near the bone, which hurt.

I screamed into the ball gag again as he yanked the knife out full speed. Before he moved it to my shoulder and stabbed it in again, dragging it down my arm, creating a cut what must be half an inch deep, like the one on my face. I could feel the blood seep out of my wounds.

He continued the same process on my other arm, stick it in the same amount, drag it the same length and pull it out at the same speed.

He done it on my stomach and legs, until the blood ran down my body and dripped on to the concrete floor. My vision started to blur but he carried on, everywhere. He always found a different place to stab.

Soon enough I passed out from blood loss.

I wake to the feeling of falling. What is this? I look around. I can't see! Why can't I see, what is wrong with me.

Then something pulls me to one side. I look up to see a faceless man. So I could see, but the darkness must just be the place. Where am I?

I look quizzically up at the strange man, why am I here? Why did he save me?

"If you become my proxy, I will give you food, shelter, good care and you will have a family, as there are more of us." He spoke

That sounded like a great deal, maybe I will have a great life here... Maybe... But I wanna take the chance.

"I accept!" I accepted the deal.

"To get started my name is Slender Man. And this here is my daughter Diriel." He points to a girl behind him. The girl behind him was giggling with a massive grin on her face. She lept over to me and grabbed me by the shoulders, and started shaking me.

"O-M-G!!! HI I'M DIRIEL!! OH WAIT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT! JUST CALL ME DIRI! WE GONNA BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER AND EVER!!" She screamed, still shaking me.

"Diriel, let go of the poor girl." Slender Man scolded

"Yes, dad." She spoke in defeat and walked back over to him.  Wow this girl is just, hmm what's the word for it, oh yeah. CRAZY! I sure am gonna like her.

"Oh it's fine. My name is Raven Lockhart. You can just call me Ray if you want to."

"Cool name." She grabbed my hand and dragged me through this black hole with Slender Man walking behind us, shaking his head.

I looked to see a big mansion in front of me. I stared up at it in awe. I had never seen anything like it.

"This is the Slender Mansion!!! Your new home!!" The girl Diriel squeals again and drags me inside. "You need to meet everyone!!"

"Okay!" I giggle and let her drag me around the mansion.

"EVERYBODY WE GOT A NEW PROXY!!!!! MEET IN THE LIVING ROOM!!!" Diri yells on the top of her lungs. Soon everyone starts piling in. I looked around at the type of people I would class as my new family.

They looked awesome, but it's like my whole world slowed down when I looked at one of them. My pounding heart beat was the only thing I could hear. Me and him were the only two people and he was moving closer, was getting closer to me.

Until I snapped back into reality. I wiped my mouth just in case I drooled. He was amazingly good looking.

He has grey hair and bright red eyes, he looked like an evil shadow. He also bore a resemblance to the video game character Link.

He was really cute. Woah, slow down there Raven. How can you fall in love with someone you don't even know?

"So, uh... My name is Jeff." A guy spoke up. I let out a mini high pitched squeal at hearing another person.

I went into a dream world again, where there was only me and this mysterious person. I blushed in embarrassment  as everyone snickered slightly but soon stopped.

"I'm Dark Link." The mysterious person said. I can finally put a name to face!
