Mark and his daughter- Lauren moved from city to small village after Mark's wife's death. They had to... In city too many things reminded him about Marie. Mark needed to take anti-depressants pills. Unfortunately, it hadn't worked. Moving was the only option.

Lauren didn't like the idea. She had friends there. She didn't fancy starting all over again. Anyway, she was only 14 and her opinion didn't really mattered.

The begginings weren't easy. Duh, they've just moved and Mark was without job. Fortunately, after some weeks he found a job that he's always done. He got puppeteer job. It wasn't so colorful with Lauren. People in her class were total jerks, every second was a nerd or plastic doll and nobody had even done something to get to know her. She was lonely, his father knew that. He didn't want his daughter to be as lonely as he was years ago.

He couldn't found her friends by force, he knew it well. Mark decided to do something he can the best... create a puppet. Not so ordinary, because it was going to be human-size. He remembered how Lauren had loved puppets when she was younger, so maybe this gift would satisfy her.

He spent whole days on the creation of his work. OK, maybe not whole days, because he had to work and doing shopping. What like what, but people have to eat something. So he spent most of his time in workshop. He hadn't even realized that Lauren found new friends... unfortunately, it wasn't a pack of happy teenagers... no...

Lauren joined the sect... dyed her hair black, similar to one her mother had, instead of brown. She started wearing black clothes with punk accents. Mark noticed the change in his daughter apperance, but he thought it was just a time in growing up and didn't really care.

Finally, he finished his work. The puppet had so light ,,skin" that it was almost white. It had pink hair and even purple at the ends. Unfortynately, he hadn't got anything that could be used as normal eyes, so the left one was whole black and the right one had glassy lens. The only matching dress he bought by internet. It was black, shoulder straps fells and ends with frills. He dressed her in ping corset just like her hair with three belts and purple interior. The only shose pair he could have foud were similar to DMs platform shoes.

He wasn't sure how would the whole combination look, but it came out perfect. The last thing was a name for puppet. He was thinking about it for some time and finally he came up with the idea... He called her Tik. That's because of the clock that was the only thing making any sound during the process of creation. On the puppet's neck he whittled inscription that said ,,Tik".

He finished his work just before Lauren's birthday. It was going to be her birthday gift. It the said day he unfortunately had to go to work. So he left Tik in his daughter's room with birthday card and left.

Lauren decided to do the party after getting home after school. She invited her friends and she still had hour. When she saw Tik she run to amok. As I said, the girl had changed. She was not longer satisfied with small gifts. She was expecting something better, even money and she just got stupid puppet... he hit it with her fist with so much force that she fell on the ground and broke from the right corner of her mouth to half-cheek. Lauren got the scissors and cut Tik's dress at the bottom. After that she calmed a little.

She'd cleaned the house and her quests started to showing up. Alcohol poured down in torrents. Someone even brought drugs. When it got late, someone threw the idea of calling spirits in Lauren's room, because she was new in sect adn she had to experience the first seance spiritualistic.

They only had to had something that would have worked as the subject of visitation... after entering bedroom they knew what it would be...Tik...

They gathered in group, light candles and started...at the begging nothing had happened...until the ligths came down and the storm started...they heard steps getting closer to bedroom's door. Lauren was terrified, but she couldn't have shown that...not now. Steps were lauder and someone started bumping at the door.

One of the girl's friends walked hesistantly to the door... everyone in the room were scared, mainly because of the alcohol. He slowly opened the door...on the other side was Mark, Lauren has never seen him so angry before.

"Out! Now!" everyone gone out the house

"What are you doing?!"

<p data-p-id="be1373493ca1c9755e71f66ba84475df">"I'm ending this party! You abused my trust! Alcohol? Drugs? You're only damn 15! You've got serious problems right now!"

<p data-p-id="656863a3698b80e0aed88040e3e05cbc">"You've always were like that! Mum wouldn't yell but talk and wouldn't embarrassment in front of my friends!"

<p data-p-id="9672f6fe4cb96db3687072953cdb60f6">"Don't you understand mum is no longer here?!" with that Mark slams the door and walked to his room.

<p data-p-id="c7ffe56b450d158697a55430fb2cfc86">"Old fart" Lauren said annoyed and went to sleep.

<p data-p-id="e23d0826b578a528e60ec07a82a9c871">Unfortunately, neither of them knew that nobody had end the seance...the connetion between the dead'd world lasted...and Tik was still in the middle of pentagram...

<p data-p-id="469850e9282494bb697a193309227524">In less than an hour everyone were asleep. In house was completely silent and dark. The only thing you could saw was the rays of the full moon falling into Lauren's room.

<p data-p-id="c3ee0bde165a55b1904aa66e9574c205">The light beam fell on Tik's face... It wasn't something ususual, only that the puppet blinked.

<p data-p-id="d8477fc932545a4cde0b8175946fb769">Her eyes scanned the room and stoped on Lauren's sleeping form. Tik got to her feet, at first she moved crookedly but after moment she didn't have any problem with that. She walked..no...flown to sleeping girl. She was watching her for some time and her face expression changed from expresionless to full of hate...

<p data-p-id="b8deb1158612d1dfe034922b45e84b13">There's nothing to wonder, Lauren had destroyed Tik's dress and she has broken cheek because of her...but that's not the thing that anger her the most. It's because the girl was ungrateful, irresponsible and impudent. She had everything someone could ever asked for and despite this she chose to join the sect and intervene in dead's world...

<p data-p-id="86d059f1069bd5a5ea48a416f396e21f">Tik knew that she's no longer the usual puppet, no...she's something different now...she was sure. And that's because of Lauren, so she had to repay her.

<p data-p-id="de6d0d8fc38b53f5424dc34d8538e7c2">Red strings went out from her fingers and tied artound Lauren's body. Suddenly, they tightened so much that from exposed parts of body started pour out the blood streams. The gils immediately woke up. When she saw her, until recently limp, puppet, she wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She felt the strings tied aroud her body and blood. Her eyes got filled with tears, she knew it's the end.

<p data-p-id="938b42719c68686c551b986773363f4e">Tik tightened the strings to such an excent that they cut the skin and muscles to bones. With one tug she cut them too... In front of her were corpse of someone who she was given to, someone who broke her. Unfortunately, she wasn't pleased...her purpose was one more person...Mark

<p data-p-id="62696c15e026cb9d5a7048372071686e">From Mark and Lauren's house you could hear loud scream and the sudden silence...Tik knew she couldn't left this ike that. She spilled petrol everywhere she could and burn the house.

<p data-p-id="b560fddf559094d0e7f41ed9901233c2">She were standing in front of the burning house. Her glassy eye chance it's color to the same she had in front of her... fire color, flames that were devouring the house...her house, her creator's corpse, her owner's corpse.

<p data-p-id="368c388c422e092148475b1270b14da1">She knew that in the moment people would gather around and police and fire brigade. She couldn't stay here any longer...despite this she feld the urge to kill again...it was something exciting, she felt that it's the only option for her to feel ,,alive"...but for now she had to gone away from that place.

<p data-p-id="617f45e3b333f401128835a7989b637c">She went in the forest...She felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She turned around, there were a boy standing behind her...at least he remind a boy... His eyes and mouth were glowing yellow, he had dark shoulder-lenght hair and a skater hat on. He was wearing grey hoodie and black coat.

<p data-p-id="3cde2e99f96828253c3db98c78801bf6">"Who are you?" She asked

<p data-p-id="62ee5918a20798654c046cdb4ca4541c">"You perfectly know who I am...what is the matter is, who are you?" he smiled at her

<p data-p-id="a4ed7e24170d8351ac938cd51b6b1de0">"What do you want from me?"

"To take you to your new house...to take you to Slender Mantion...you're one of of us..."<ac_metadata title="Tik"> </ac_metadata>
