Evan's Pov
After a little while of comforting Y/N and having a discussion about what she should and shouldn't reveal about her past I head home, my mood much more somber than it was when I went to visit my friend. I wasn't completely sure if he was trying to find out about her or not so I had to be sure, and it scares me to know he's digging deeper and deeper into her. I fear for her life but most of all I fear for her sanity. As easy as it is for her to hide it just by looking into her eyes I can tell Y/N is close to her breaking point. She's lost so much already and has worked too hard to get to the place she's at, she doesn't need to be hurt any more.
"You're late and you didn't say where you were going," a deep voice says, all amusement gone as I look up at the tall being looking down at me with a terrifying glare that most would cower beneath. "And you're in your human form."
"I had an emergency at the hospital. I worked hard for this job," I says simply, giving my shoulders a light shrug.
He knows it's as much of a lie as I do but doesn't push me further on it as I begin to head up to my bedroom, wanting to sleep and gather my thoughts. I would need to find a way to divert my caretaker's attention.
"I won't ask the reason you're lying to me but know this. I don't take kindly to someone hiding a threat to this family even if they are a best friend. Eyeless Jack," the being growls behind me, causing my lips to rise up into a smirk behind my now dawned mask.
"I would never bring any harm here Slenderman, but I have things I like to protect as well." I say softly before continuing on my way up the stairs. I'll protect you Y/N, even if it costs me my life.
Your Pov
After Evan leaves I find myself much more calmed down and relaxed, something that always happens after his visits. He didn't seem quite himself but he gets like that after a particularly hard case and I know on his next visit I'll be able ask him about the case. I brew myself a fresh cup of tea before heading to my room and crawling into bed, resting myself against my pillow as I reflect on everything that's happened today. I don't exactly come from a sparkling diamond of a background but I hope Slender can understand even a little bit. You don't exactly choose what you're born into but I wouldn't change my situation for anything. The only thing I would change is the day I lost those that mattered most to me.
