This Forest wasn't here before, but it is where I shall reside for now, since there is a town so close to it that I couldn't bear to see it be attack by the creatures in this forest. *Thump-thump-thump-thump... thump-thump-thump-thump...* Ah, it seems like I have a visitor, for someone has found one of my pages. I look around and switch my vision from normal to, what I call: Animal Sight, which allows me to see beings through the forest, whether or not they are hiding or covering their tracks. I then teleport myself to a tree in front of them, and walk out from behind the tree. I switch my sight back to normal and see a young earth pony filly with saddle bags standing before me.

"You shouldn't be in the forest," I stated, gesturing to area with my elongated arms, "there are many creatures out here that would want to bring harm to you."

"I-I'm s-sorry mister," the filly said, "but I went o-out here on a dare to p-prove to some ponies that I'm not a scardy-cat."

"I see," I said in thought, "these ponies wouldn't happen to be bullying you would they?"

"Y-yeah," she nodded with a frown, which then turned into a look of determination, "but, can now prove that I have been to the forest, and prove that I'm not a scardy-cat."

"Is that so?" I asked, she nodded in response, "Very well,
how do you plan on doing so?"

"W-well," she stuttered as she looked at me with the puppy dog eyes, "I would like you to come with me to prove to them-"

"I'm afraid not little one," I said sadly, "I prefer to have as few ponies as possible knowing about my existence, but don't worry, I'll leave you something that not many can claim to have...
however..." I held out my hand to her, "I need to borrow the paper that you found for one moment."

Her eyes widened at that statement, she then turned her head, opened one of her bags reached inside with her hoof (the physics of those things in universe confound me!), and pulled out a familiar paper related to me.

"How did you know I had that anyways?" she asked.

"Well," I started, as I channeled energy into the paper, "whenever someone enters my land, it is the first thing they see, so, in curiosity, they pick it up. So I placed a spell on it, so that I would be aware of someone within my forest." I then pulled the paper in two, causing a bright flash of light effectively blinding us for a moment, and when I looked back to my hands, I had a perfect copy of the paper in each hand, yet both still had the spell, so I absorbed the magic from one and placed a portion of my essence into it.

"There we go," I said causing the filly to open her eyes and look at me.

"What happened?" she asked, then looked at what I was holding, and her eyes widened in amazement. "Wait did you make another paper?"

"Replicate would be the proper term, but... yes," I stated, putting the one with the spell into my suit, "however, this one is different, for it no longer has the spell the original did, but instead it now has a piece of my essence within."

"Cool!" the filly exclaimed," reaching for it.

"Wait one moment," I said impatiently, "there is one more thing I want to add." I pulled out a marker from my suit, turned the paper over, and wrote: from: Slender Man, One of the Faceless Ones'.

"Alright, here you go young one," I said handing it to her.

She grabbed it with her hoof in excitement, "Thank you mister..."

"Please, just call me Slender Man, or just Slender if you want," I said as I bowed.

"Well, hope to see you around Slender," she shouted as she left the forest.

If I had an actual mouth to express emotions with still, I would be giving a small smile as I said, "We'll see... we'll see..."

"Here she is Twilight Sparkle," said the older mare.

"Thank you Mayor Mare," Twilight replied, closed the door on the way in and turned towards a filly, "You must be Silver Spoon?"

"Y-yes," the filly answered nervously.

"May I see this paper I've heard so much about?" Twilight asked.

"It's in my bag," she answered, and ruffled through her bag, and pulled it out and showed it to Twilight, "see?"

Twilight was startled by the image, but did not show her reaction.

"He said he did something along the lines of... putting a bit of himself into it or something?" she said with uncertainty.

Twilight raised a brow at that statement, then went wide-eyed as something clicked. She scanned it with her magic, and sure enough there was the essence of a living being within it, yet... exactly what the living being was is whole other question, considering that the magic was unidentifiable.

Twilight turned it over and read the back as she asked, "And you say the creature wrote this one the back of the page itself?"

"For the hundredth time, YES!" the filly shouted in frustration, "How is that so hard to believe?"

"I'm sorry, if this so frustrating," Twilight apologized, "but I just needed clarification."

"Fine," the filly said as she looked out the window, and suddenly went wide-eyed, "No way..."

"What?" Twilight asked as she walked over, and looked at what the filly saw, and it shocked her.

It was the same figure from the drawing that she was just looking at, waving at them from the Everfree Forest, when she blinked it was gone.

Twilight then looked over at the filly with a slightly less shocked expression and stated, "Well, I guess your story, holds some truth."

Author's Notes:

Hey guys, what do you think of the way Slender Man's speech is written? If none of you like it I might change it. Is it interesting how he operates in the forest? Again, if there is anything you might like to point out, then go right on ahead.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I made a reference to a story made by this guy right ---> here <---
Go check him out.

Edit 2: Forgot to put this in the first edit... *sigh*... anyways anyone who can guess the story I referenced will get a free interview chapter with a character of their choosing.

Edit 3: Someone guessed the reference correctly we will see the bonus chapter soon...
