Hey...my name is (Y/N) (L/N), and this is my story of how I came to be one with the Creepypastas, and most importantly, grew close to the four entities that forever changed my life.

I was originally a normal loser attending high school everyday like most people do. I had a caring family of three; my mother, father, and my older sibling. My older sibling had already left off to college, sooo I had lived only with my two parents. Considering it was my last year in school anyway, I was preparing to leave myself. I didn't necessarily have many friends, so I was either sharing small talk with an acquaintance or just sitting around by myself.

I'm eighteen years old, and currently, I don't attend school anymore. I'm pretty good with a bayonet, and I'm an expert at navigating my way through the woods. I've gained a strikingly expert sense of fashion and I know the difference between what is acceptably okay to wear in public and what is not. Somehow, I've managed to become skilled at being a real seductive motherfucker—which is actually quite worrisome, now that I think about it. I'm also able to be the most cheerful and fun-loving person in a room, and even do a few cool magic tricks to impress a child. I have lots of friends now, unlike in my past...although I sort of think of them as family. And lastly...well, I'm also this thing called a Creepypasta.

So, you're probably wondering how I became what's classified as a psychopathic 'killer' and what's my story in the first place. Well, you already know the deal, with those murderers called "Creepypasta". They start off with these crazy lives that lead them to their eventual downfall, and then they go mad and get taken in by the mysterious Slenderman.

How I became one—well, my stories a bit different. Way different. I didn't go mad or have something terrible in my life happen to me to make me change.

It all started when I first met.... The Splendorman.

It was a few years back; I was wandering around on my own one day, exploring to the point I eventually got lost-in the woods nearby the town I live in. I became scared and figured I would never find my way home, so I sat beside a tree till the sky became dark, hoping someone would find me. To the very least of my expectations a, very tall man wearing a colorful polka dotted black suit and a top hat appeared to me and offered to helped me find my way home.

I was seven at the time, so because I was so entranced by his happy nature and his bright colors and cheerful face, I gladly accepted his help. He introduced himself to me as Splendorman, and I told him my name. We talked like we were best friends all the way out of the forest. When I saw that we had reached outside of the forest and I knew my way home from there, I had begged The Splendorman to come home with me.

He said he couldn't come home with me, but he said he promised that he would one day return, and he would remain my best friend forever. He kept that promise.

Months later from our first meeting, I began to see The Splendorman again. He would visit my home and we would play together all the time. He'd even give me brand new toys from the place where he lived; he'd say he got them from one of his friends he lived with.

I began to get curious about The Splendorman and I wanted to know more about him and where he came from. He told me about this place he lived—a huge mansion where a lot of people lived. He told me they were killers, but didn't want me to refer to them as killers, since it wasn't a "nice term."

He told me about three other brothers he had—The Slenderman, The Offenderman, and The Trendyman. I was so fascinated by the fact that there were more strange looking tall beings like Splendorman, and I badly wanted to see them.

Splendorman told me that it was too dangerous for me to meet them, and that it would be safer if I only stuck with knowing him.

"But Mr. Splendorman! I really want to see the huge mansion and play with the Creepypastas and meet your other tall brothers!"

"Now now (Y/N), I'm only trying to keep you safe. It's already dangerous that I am here with you like this. I assure you....one day, I will take you to the mansion to meet the pastas. But for now, please be happy that I am here with you. And I promise, I always will be."

To this day, The Splendorman has kept his promise to me. It had been quite a few years since I first met him in the woods, and he still came to my home everyday. We didn't really play much anymore, since I'd gotten older, but we did other things like play video games and watch TV and make cookies and stuff. Well...at least Splendor did the cookies.

The best part about all of it is-Splendor never got caught or seen by my parents...which was pretty damn convenient!

You see, my parents were always busy folk, so I'd spend most of my time at home alone. Whenever I came home from school, Splendy (as I liked to call him since childhood) would already be waiting in my bedroom to greet me. If I had a rough day at school, he'd always comfort me and cheer me up. Then, we'd play video games together or eat a bunch of snacks—only if I had my homework done.

The only sucky thing about Splendy was that he got serious when it came to my homework, and made sure I had it all done before we could play, especially math of all things, which sucked. He said he probably picked it up from his brother, The Slenderman, who is always interested in work.

Anyways, me meeting Splendorman and him sticking around all those years was only the beginning of my journey into the world of Creepypasta, and the first step taken to me meeting the three other entities that would change my life forever.

Now that you know my brief story, here's how it all started...how I first got to meet my new family; the killers and the Slender Brothers.

»»————-　➴ 11 years ago ➴　————-««

My mom said I was allowed to play outside alone today. She and dad have a lot of work to do so they can't come with me to watch me. My big brother (B/N) told me to get lost and didn't want to play with me, but that's alright. I'm old enough to do things by myself, right? I'm 7 years old it's no biggie, I'll have fun all alone.

I'm standing outside the front door of my house, looking so excited at the trees just across the street. Looks tempting...I wanna go inside and explore a bit. I have a piece of paper in hand...a map that I drew myself. It's a really neat map, I like it a lot. I even put cool stickers on it. I'm pretending that there's treasure in that forest and this map is the only thing that's gonna get me there.

I'm not allowed to go past the driveway, but mom and dad are too busy to notice, I think. I just wanna see what it looks like! I won't tell them so I don't get in trouble. I zip up my jacket since it was cold and start sneaking like a super cool spy towards the woods. I start to run across the street and sonic dash into the woods, a smile on my face as the tall trees begin to surround me on all sides.

I stop running once I'm surrounded on all sides by trees and start walking taking a look at my super treasure map.

"I wonder how far I am from the treasure!?" I say out loud, looking around the woods like it's a fantasy world with dragons and fairies and elves and monsters surrounding me. I kept skipping around, looking through bushes and crawling on the ground as if I'd soon come across a big red "X", you know like X marks the spot?

I'm at this for.....uhhh ten hours I think I don't know what time it is and I start to get bored...it's also getting a little dark.

"Welp, It was fun while it lasted" I exclaim, throwing the map on the on the ground because I don't want it anymore and I start walking in the opposite direction I was headed.

Well I'm walking for a while and I can't seem to find my way out...and it's dark...I'm starting to get kinda scared. I hold my hands behind my back and I sonic dash for a while, I'm hoping I'll find my way out but there's only more and more trees. I wish I can actually run fast like Sonic but I think I'm pretty close.

"Hey Mom!!!! Mom!????" I eventually stop sonic dashing, not feeling like playing around anymore and start yelling to see if mom would hear me and come get me. But all around me was trees and bushes cricket sounds.

"Daaaaaaaad!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, feeling my body starting to shake and my eyes beginning to water up. "(B/N)....??"

It's getting so so dark and I'm scared and I don't think mom or dad are ever going to find me in here. I run up to a tree with a huge circle with an "X" marked through it and I sit down and start crying...

I bet my map could've helped me maybe, I know I drew it but what if actually worked and helped me get home? I wish I didn't leave it behind. Now I'm lost.

This is the worst day ever. I wrap my arms around my legs and start crying because I can't help it anymore, I just want my mom and dad or my brother. I don't wanna play in these dumb woods ever again.

As I'm crying, I start hearing something...it kind of sounds like bells. I thought that would scare me more but the bells sound...nice...it's really calm.

I slowly pick my head up from my knees and look ahead where I hear the soothing bell sounds.

Up ahead there is a very tall something that's shadowy and walking right towards me. My eyes get so super big, but I don't feel like screaming... the bells are so nice and I don't feel that scared.

I kept staring as the big something making the bell sounds walks up to me. Is it Santa Claus?

It's a...it's a man! He's so tall and he's got lots of colors on his clothes, and he has a walking stick in his hand. And and and he's got arm thingies behind him that have color spots too and there are bells on them that make nice sounds! And also, and also his face, he looks like a cartoon character and he has a tall hat, like that president Abraham Lincoln.

I don't feel scared at this guy, he's smiling at me and I feel like laughing because he looks so funny, I can't believe a cartoon came to real life! I've never seen this one before.

The cartoon man asks me if I'm okay and I say yeah. He smiles wider and claps his hands. I smile wide because his face looks so goofy as he smiles. He asks me my name and I tell him my name, by the way my name is (Y/N). The cartoon man said his name is The SplendorMan...that's so weird because I never heard of that tv show. I asked him what show he came to real life from and he laughed saying he's not from a show so maybe he's from a video game, I don't know.

The SplendorMan asks me why I'm out in the woods by myself crying and I told him I was playing and I got lost but I didn't mean to and I really want my family to come get me.

The SplendorMan gasps at me and then turns for a bit and then he turns back and says with a wide smile that he's going to help me. I get so excited when he says this and I stand up looking at him happily.

He reaches and takes my hand and it feels so warm and nice so I hold his hand tightly and we start walking through the woods together, talking at the same time.

I know I'm not supposed to talk to strangers but he's so super nice I don't think mom or dad would even be mad because he's so nice. I told him about my favorite TVs shows and my favorite type of toys and my favorite games and my favorite food and my favorite everything! And then he told me all of his favorite of everything.

He's so nice and cool, I wish he was my friend. Anyways The SplendorMan actually helps me out of the woods! I see my house up ahead, just across the street.

"Mr. SplendorMan let's go to my house and we can watch TV. No wait...we can play defend the fort?! We can build a huge fort and—"

The SplendorMan stopped me and shook his head saying,

"I'm sorry my child...it isn't a good idea for me to stay with you for much longer. But worry not! One day, we shall meet again and we'll never spend a day apart, do you hear?"

I look at The SplendorMan and I kind of feel upset because he won't come with me but I don't want to be a stupid baby and cry so I hold it back.

"Can you promise that you'll come back and be my best friend forever then?" I ask, holding out my pinky finger. "You have to pinky promise."

The SplendorMan looked at me for a bit before laughing and he wrapped his pinky around mine. "I promise, young (Y/N)! You will see me again...and we'll be best friends. Not only that, but I promise I'll look after you as long as you live. Isn't that splendid⁎⁺˳✧༚?"

I nod at him smiling and then The SplendorMan tipped his top hat to me before turning and walking back into the woods. As he got farther away it kind of looked like he just disappeared.

I watch after the tall man till he disappeared, feeling shocked by everything I just saw. I hope more than anything else that I get to see him again one day. After getting over my shock I then run back inside my house and prepare to get in big big trouble.
