《Pure Heart {EJ x Reader}》Chapter 25: Finding You Here
Advertisement
I looked up at the tall figure, he was almost as tall as the trees surrounding us. I've had a question on the back of my head since it first happened, when I met slenderman the first time I didn't get a chance to ask because I was worried about Jack but now that we're alone...
"Slenderma-"
"" I gave him a confused face before opening my mouth again. "What do you mean it was...you.." My mind had the sudden realization on what he meant, my eyelids widened along with my mouth. "" Many emotions went through my head, they spun around trying to organize themselves. First it was sad, then angry, then confused before looping again, I just said the first word that came to mind.
"Why?"
"" His face didn't show anything but his voice was serious and stern, I took a deep breath before matching his serious tone.
"I understand your reasons on why you did it but I can't accept an apology, even if you didn't say you are sorry. I care for Jack probably just as much as you, I know it's only been a couple months but those have been the best months of my life. If Jack hadn't shown up, I'd have probably killed myself sometime between those months and if not then I would have died to those people who came to kill me. Though I respect you I can't sympathize with you, I have done everything in my life for others and now I want to do something for myself. I want to BE selfish, even if it means Jack changed his mind about me and hates me now." I gave the tall slender man a stern face, he blankly stared at me for a couple seconds before a long sigh passed his non existing lips. I looked at him with a confused face, how did he do that?

"" And with that, he disappeared into the empty space. I sighed before looking around my surroundings, I thought about what Slender said. "A place where flowers bloom with no trees? Ok, Slender said he was tied to a tree somewhere but the place he's at is where no trees are...No, he said all but the dead. So the tree he's tied too is old and dead probably, the place he's talking about is also a meadow." I snapped my fingers before smirking, I'm so smart. The direction I started at was to the north, more into the woods and away from civilization. "I hope he's ok.."
"Ugh, what happened?" My vision was blurry along with my body being numb, I couldn't see anything but a black abyss around me. Once my vision started to clear up, my surroundings turned into a field of sunflowers that were at least 5 feet tall. I could feel my mask on my face and my regular clothes on my body but something was wrapped around my waist and arms, holding me down tightly. I tugged at the rope that is trapping me in between it and the tree I was tied too, the bark of the tree was soft and hollow on the inside from what I could feel.
"Slenderman!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, I couldn't believe him. He had to just tell me what happened, knock me out, then tie me to a dead tree in the middle of a FUCKING sunflower field. I struggled against the rope around me, it loosened a little but not enough to get me to wiggle through. Something didn't feel right, I had to get out of this rope before whatever it was happens and I wasn't there to stop it. I kept struggling against the rope, profanities past by my mouth as I kept struggling.

"SHIT!" my voice rang out, if only I could get out of these ropes. I struggled more, it was tiring but I didn't stop. A sudden pain hit my stomach, I stopped. Looking down, I could see my scalpel sticking out of my hoodie pocket. My eyes widen, an escape was finally possible. I relaxed my body, tense muscles became relaxed along with my scalpel relaxing in my pocket. I shook my body side to side, trying to get the scalpel to fall out.
It slid down but stopped, it was caught on something in my pocket. "Shit, come on-" I bright my hand up as far as it could come, it was only inches away. The scalpel blade would lightly glad across my fingers, opening little scratches that seeped out blood. My middle and pointer finger clamped onto the blade, I smirk before pulling the scalpel until I could grab it was my hand. After getting hold of it, I was able to flip it so it was against the rope. I finally started to cut through the rope.
"Come on, come on." I repeated to myself, it was coming loose. I stopped cutting and pulled against the rope, in a couple seconds it snapped. Getting up quickly, I ran towards the flower field and right into an invisible wall. My face smacked right onto it, I held my face in my hands. "What the fuck!?" I looked up. Where my body had collided with the wall, there was now little ripples gliding across it until it flattened out. I took my mask off and wiped the blood from my nose, licking it off my fingers. My stomach growled.
"Just great," I hadn't eaten in days. I was starving.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!
