So, Isaac and I have someone else helping us now, I guess. A girl from our college, Katy, came over the other day. Apparently she was a bit worried about us, as we haven't been at school in a while, and when we actually go we're pretty quiet. We got to talking. Told her we've been a bit busy with a stressful project. Isaac did most of the talking, as I really wasn't up for chatting, nor did I really know her that well. Isaac explained that we were doing a project on a local legend. Of course, it being a big thing around here, she guessed Slender Man. We chatted a bit more, and she agreed to help us with researching and things of the like. Apparently she has connections at the college, so her helping us might be beneficial.

Good news? Kinda.

Well, I finally have some good news. As some of you probably remember, my sister went missing a while ago. The local authorities finally found her. Slightly less good news, she seems a bit... traumatized. She keeps talking about a man in a suit. I denied knowing anything about it when I was asked. The one thing I'm concerned about, besides her well-being, is how she got away from it though.

Isaac's made a breakthrough with the studying. He's been swamped with homework though, so he's not going to be able to post on the Twitter until at least tomorrow. I guess that's what he gets for neglecting the schoolwork.

Okay, I finally have all this straightened out. Took a while for it all to solidify.

So, as you all know, I went to meet thetreeswatch. At first, I wasn't sure if he was going to show up. I waited in the spot (the same spot Isaac and I saw the man in white) for about twenty minutes. I was about to leave when I heard a voice behind me. I turned around... and saw a face in the trees. I almost freaked out because I thought he was just a face. I looked harder and saw that he did, in face, have a body. Before I could get any closer, he spoke.

His voice was so calming. I felt like all my worries were being washed away. He told me to relax. That I was safe. And he continued by telling me what was happening.

Now... here's where it gets weird. As... far as I understand it, there's a... demon or... something of the like going around... turning people into... basically a mirror image of itself. But not only do these people look like it... They act like it too. Going around doing the same thing the original does. Like a disease of some sort.

I started to wonder how he knew all this, but, as if reading my mind, he stepped forward and gave me the answer.

Thetreeswatch is one of these... Slender men. Not fully, but... He's on his way there. His body was tall and skinny. But his face... his face was normal. I could see some signs of changing. As if... As if it was eating him from the feet up. I tried to run, but... I couldn't. I was stuck to that spot. He went on.

He told me that it was him that I saw on that first night. He was the one watching me, as I was watching him. Apparently he's been around longer than that, watching and protecting me. He wouldn't... tell me why this thing is after me. What I did to antagonize it. He told me all the answers would become apparent over time. And with that... He left. Leaving me with more questions than answers.

Isaac's still been studying. It's been interfering with his schoolwork, not to mention his sleep and eating. He seems really dedicated...

I'm feeling a hell of a lot better. I can actually walk with a minimum of pain.

So, saying that, I'm going to meet with thetreeswatch tonight. I don't know if he's going to be there. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what he wants, but I'm going. He has to have some answers for me. He must know why this is happening. He must know how to stop it.

I'm leaving in half an hour. I hope nothing keeps me from getting there.

-Neverlookback

I feel like I'm slowly dieing. My cuts are throbbing and, suffice to say, haven't healed yet. I can barely get out of bed, let alone walk down the hallway to go to the bathroom. Isaac's still hitting the books pretty hard. I glanced at his Twitter last night and saw that he was studying how to contact the light. At least I know he's doing something productive.

I don't think I'm up for meeting with thetreeswatch just yet. It's not just because I can barely walk, but I'm not sure if I trust him 100% yet. He seems like he wants to help, but something just seems off about him.

Maybe I'll feel like meeting up with him when I heal up. Until then, I'm gonna lay around in bed and watch movies.

-Neverlookback

Apologies

My fault. Subdued one, lost other, three on two, losing battle, scales tipped in unfavorable direction, don't know the course of the rapids. Dreamers dream, going through life with eyes closed, we see, going through life wishing we could be like them again, wishing we didn't know the truth, didn't know the end. The end of the story book, no happily ever after, no sleep of dreams, merely dreamless reality full of despair, with him watching at every corner. No, not him, they.

Tried to deny it, cannot any longer. We must meet, you and I, at a safe location. The woods, hiding in plain site, hoping he won't catch on.

You must not inform Isaac.

You ever have one of those times when you wake up and you instantly think "Fuck"? Yeeeeah, that's how I'm feeling right now.

I... I'm not exactly sure what happened. I remember... being surrounded by darkness. And I remember... three figures. If I try to remember more I start getting a head ache.

Apparently Isaac found me passed out in front of our door. Apparently he was about to go out for a walk and clear his head. He patched me up a bit, brought me to my bed, and has been studying pretty hard ever since.

You'd think I'd be able to sleep after something like that, but I can't seem to get any shut eye.

where am i. who am i. how am i.
how did we get here? why are we here? what point is there in our existence?
do we serve some greater purpose? or are we just... here for no reason?
if we're here for no reason... then what's the point in even being here?
if we serve some greater purpose... what is it? how do we go about fulfilling it?

the darkness comes again.

help. no one can help. nobody. nowhere.

only light can help. but the light hides.

the sword.

the shield.

the bow.

isaac knows. the light knows.

no one is trustworthy.

dreams. what are dreams good for? a glimpse at the past? a look at the future? a simple vision of what we desire most? maybe it's all of these things. maybe it's none.

but let's say dreams are all those. then what would nightmares be? a glimpse at our untimely demise. a vision of terrible things that have happened to us. a look at what we fear most.

dreams. nightmares. light and darkness. opposites.

the welcoming warmth of the light. and the harsh cold of the darkness.

i am caught between them. the light and the dark. i can't see anything. it's dark, but i feel warm. i can't be dead. i refuse to be dead. if i were dead...

they're coming again. the noises. screaming. screeching. it's terrible.
