Above is a picture of a bow and arrow my husband made for me. It has a blue Jay feather at the top. He said it was the closest thing he could find to a mokingjay. This is the bow Annette will use.

(Slenderman's point of view)

I turn around and see Offenderman lounging on the couch.

"Sup." He says.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Just stopped by for some small talk. Nice weather. How ya been? How come you didn't tell me my niece was in a coma?!" He says.

Dammit.

"Look my head hasn't exactly been clear lately. So if your here to rant you can leave." I say.

"I'm not here to rant. Much. Why didn't you tell us? You got Splendor all upset." He says.

"I didn't want to say anything until I figured everything out." I explain.

"How long?" He asks.

"A little over 3 months."

He sighs and looks at the ground. "How did this happen?"

"Jane. She used a forum of torture called The Thousand Cuts." I say.

"Damn. I'm surprised she isn't dead yet."

"What?"

"Well The Thousand Cuts. Slendy, I've never seen or heard of anyone surviving this long." He says.

"So you're familiar with it?" I ask.

"I use a similar technique. Remember 1000 bloody roses?"

"Yes. You use it on you're 'special' victims."

"Well, it's a variation of The Thousand Cuts. Instead of cutting them 1000 times, I cut them with 1000 blood red roses." He explains.

"I see. Has anyone ever survived it?" I ask.

"I'm afraid not. Annette would be the first." He says solemnly.

I let out a sigh. What am I going to do now?  "So where is Splendorman?" I ask.

"Oh you don't want to know. He's pretty pissed that you didn't tell us."

"How did you even find out?"

"We're connected remember? If any of us are in trouble the others will know." He says.

Right. I forgot about that.

"Can I see her?" He asks.

I nod and lead him to the infirmary.

(Jeff's point of view)
*Still dream*

I ran over and knelt beside her. She was just starting off into space. Her breath was hitching.

"Annette? Annette can you hear me?" I ask. She's shaking terribly. Her eyes twitch in my direction.

"J-Jeff? W-why?" She asks.

"Shh. It's OK. I know where you are know." I say.

"I-I'm c-cold."

I take off my hoodie and drape it over her shivering body. "That better?" I ask. She shakily nods her head. "Damian, I need you to stay with her. Can you do that?" I ask.

"Uh... I don't know, I'll try. Damian?"

"Yeah, Damian. I'll explain later. Just stay here." I say.

"Ok but you better hurry."

                ~end of dream ~

I sprung out of bed and rush to Ben's room. I swung open the door, and he jumped like his ass was on fire.

"I found her!" I say.

"Wh-what? How?"

"No time! Come on now!"

He nods and we race out of the mansion.

Damian how is she?

Fading fast. You better hurry.

Got it.

"Ben! This way!" I yell.

"How do you know where you're going?!" He asks.

"I'll tell you later!"

It takes me all of fifteen minutes to find the spot. I see Damian. Wait, what?

How can I see you?

I've already shown myself to you. That's how. But it was only this time. I'll be going back now.

Ok, thanks.

"I see her!" Ben yells.

"I'll go get Slendy! You get her home!"

"Right!"

I run ahead while Ben grabs Annette. I get back to the mansion faster than expected. I burst threw the front doors without a second thought. It practically flew off the hinges.

"Slendy! We found her!" I yell.

Within seconds he's standing in front of me. "Where is she?"

"Ben is on his way. When he gets here, he and Ms.P will have a lot of work to do." I say.

"Right. I'll wake Ms.P " he says as he teleports to her room.

Not a minute later, Ben comes in and rushes to the infirmary. I follow and Ms.P comes in with Slendy trailing behind her. Ms.P casts a special spell to make Annette visible. She isn't solid, more like transparent. She still has my hoodie....That's right. I put it on her before, and then again a little while ago. Ben and Ms.P ask Slendy and I to leave the infirmary. Slendy is reluctant.

Damian, stay with her. Tell me what happens.

Ok. No problem.

I leave and damian stays to watch over her. Slendy and I wait in his study. Slendy is pacing while I sit on the couch, waiting for news. Any news.

Damian, what's going on?

I'm not sure. I think they're trying to bring her back. Ben is working on her while Ms.P is working on her body.

Is it working?

I think so. She seems brighter than before.

"That's good."

"What is?" Slendy asks.

Good going dumbass.

"Shut up!"

"Excuse me?" Slendy asks irritated.

"Sorry not you Slendy."

He looks at me and....

Dammit!

"Ok so my insanity talks to me alright! He's in there with Ms.P and Ben." I say.

"What? How is that possible?"

"Fuck, I don't know! All I know is he can do things. He usually scouts out the houses of my victims before I kill them. He found Annette, that's how I knew where she was." I explain.

"Well how is she?" He asks.

"Not sure. Damian says she's brighter." I say.

"Damian?"

"Long story short, he wanted a name. That's what I came up with." I say.

"Is there anymore news on her condition?" He asks.

"Don't know. Hang on." I say.

Yo, any other news?

Something went wrong. She's getting dimmer. This isn't looking good Jeff. Not good at all.

Well keep me informed.

Don't tell Slender yet.

"I already know." He says.

"How?"

"I read minds remember."

That's why I didn't want you to tell him! Now I'll have no privacy!

Why do you care about privacy? You're in my head!

I have reasons!

Whatever, damn.

She flatlined! Ms.P is trying you revive her now!

Something inside me snapped. She flatlined....she's dead. She died. She's dead now and it's all because of me. It's all my fault. I hate myself. She shouldn't be dead. I should. I should be the one dead not her. Wait, I hear something.

Eff. Jeff! Jeff! Answer me, dammit!

W-what?

She's ok! Ms.P revived her! But her spirit is gone. Ben thinks she might have returned to her body, but we're not sure. Slendy needs to get in here now!

Before I can say anything Slenderman is gone. Now all I can do is wait.

Jeff?

What?

Are you ok? I didn't like those thoughts you were having a moment ago.

I'm fine. Just stay in there and let me know what happens.

Ok. Just do me a favor and don't think like that anymore.

No promises.

(Slenderman's point of view)

I teleport in and see Annette on a respirator. Ben looks in my direction.

"S-slendy. Uh, look man we tried. She flatlined in the middle of everything, but Ms.P brought her back. I can't see her anymore..." He says trailing off at the end.

"Does that mean she will wake up soon?" I ask.

"It's not that simple." Ms.P says. "It could mean that she'll never wake up. I'm sorry Slendy all we can do is wait."

"We'll leave you two alone." Ben says.

They leave and I sit in a chair next to Annette, gripping her hand in mine.

"Hey babygirl. You know uncle smexy is here to see you. You've got us all pretty worried..... I never thought I would want to hear your voice so badly. Or have you talk back to me, or order Jeff around...... Masky and Hoodie miss you. And your Oreo cheesecakes. Thanksgiving is soon. I'm making your favorite. Spiral honey and brown sugar ham. I just hope your awake to enjoy it." I say.

Of course I don't get a response. I wasn't expecting one. I hang my head. Why did all of this have to happen? Why did this have to happen to my daughter of all people? I need to dig a little deeper into this issue. I stand up from the chair, and exit the infirmary. I go into Ben's room.

"Ben I need you to do a little research for me." I say.

"Uh, sure. What ya need?" He asks.

"I need you to do some digging on Jeff, Jane, and Annette. They all went to the same middle school. There must be a reason why Jane attacked her." I explain.

"I'm on it." He says, as he pixilates into his laptop.

(Annette's point of view)

It's so dark. It's just empty, blackness all around me. I-I hate the dark. I'm all alone. Where is everyone?

"Dad?" I call out. "Ben? Masky? Hoodie?! Jeff?!!"

My voice echos in the void. I start crying. I feel so alone. I'm just floating in an endless abyss of nothingness. It's so cold here. It's a good thing I have this hoodie.

Wait...where did this come from? I-it's Jeff's. H-how did I get it? It still has the cut in it from the first time we met. I smile as I think of him. He must think I'm a real bitch for the way I treated him. I never said I was sorry. I need to get out of here. But how do I do that?

Wait. I just heard something. It sounds like voices.

"Hey Annie."

Hello? Who's there?

"I wish you would wake up."

Yeah, I do to.

"This is the last time I'm visiting. I can't do this anymore. I don't even really know you."

J-Jeff?

"I don't want to get my hopes up."

Jeff? Jeff? Please! Come back!

He's gone.

He left.

He gave up on me! Jeff! You bastard! How dare you give up on me! No one ever gives up on me! I'm gonna kick your ass you son of a bitch!

I feel heat race through me. The next thing I know, I'm opening my eyes to see the infirmary surrounding me. I rip out the tubes in my arm and, teleport straight into Jeff's room.

(Jeff's point of view)

Static rings through my ears, and I look around my room. What I see before me shocks me to the very core. Annette is standing in my room.

"A-Annette? Oh my god I can-"

I don't get to finish, because she punches me square in the jaw. I hit the ground and look up at her in surprise.

"How dare you give up on me?!" She hisses.

Oh shit. She heard me didn't she?

Yeah.

Shit!

"Look Annie I didn-"

"Shut up!"

She kicks me in the head. Then she throws me through my door.

Damn that hurt!

You shouldn't have given up on her.

You told me she wasn't gonna wake up!

Don't believe everything I say.

Dammit!

She goes to lunge at me but Slendy steps in.

"Annette?" He asks.

She looks at Slendy and her face lights up. "Daddy!" She squeals, as she runs up to him and hugs him.

Daddy? Oh fuck. I'm dead. So very, very dead.

Yes. You. Are.
