Hello, everyone! I'm happy to be writing this. The first one was just too much fun to NOT write another. It also got a LOT of attention. I didn't realize that it was as popular as it was. I mean, it wasn't as popular as most authors, but it was amazing how many reviews I got to that story!

In this author's note, I'd like to discuss a few things before I start writing. For one, I got a lot of reviews asking or talking about Slender having sexual feelings towards Arthur or that it was Francis. But, no. As hot as I unknowingly made it sound, haha, Slender has NO sexual feelings towards ANY characters in these stories. I made Slender the way he was because, to me, Slender seems like the type of man who has extreme fun at doing what he does. He also seems the type to really enjoy being sarcastic.

And, I'm sorry FrUK fans, but I don't see Francis and Arthur being together. I know I made Francis a tad bit overprotective when he heard of Slender stalking Arthur again, but I see their relationship more as a strained brotherly type of relationship. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Francis. He's amazingly funny and really enjoyable to write, but I just don't see it that way.

I've also come into a bit of a problem. I want more characters to be involved this time around. Such as Lovino, Antonio, Gilbert, and Matthew. But, I also wanted to put Arthur's brothers in...I'm just very unsure about it. I've read tons of fics with them in there and they've all got different views on their personalities and I'm a bit wary about putting them in. That and, how would they come in? You know? I don't know, I'm starting to ramble, I think!

Now, about the story, this one will be longer, hopefully scarier, and more bloody. I know I may have slacked off slightly during the first one because I was a bit distracted while writing that one, but I assure you...this one will be bigger and better!

I also want to thank all of the amazing people who favorited me, the story, and reviewed. You guys were so supportive and I wouldn't have been so inclined to finish it if it weren't for everyone voicing how much you guys liked it! So, thank you and this sequel is mainly for you guys!

One more thing, because Slender is making a reappearance, I will be searching up more things to make Slender scarier and creepier. So, I will be using more than one Slenderman wiki and I probably won't remember the sites that I get them from, so I will announce it right now that, yes, a lot of my information for "Slender 2" will indeed be from wikis and the games and I do not own any of them!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, Slenderman, or the Slenderman Wikis.

Dark. Cold. Damp.

That's all he could feel. His blonde hair stuck to his forehead as he ran through the trees, dodging and weaving through them to get away from his assailant. He didn't know how it was, but he knew that the person was very dangerous. Why did the voice sound so familiar though?

Blue eyes darted around the scenery warily as he searched for whoever it was that was chasing him. He knew they were there. But where were they? Why were they taking so long to attack? What was with the game?

'You won't escape me long, I promise you. I will finish what I started. You won't stop me again.'

There it was again. That voice. Who was it?!

'You and your friends and anyone who gets in my way is doomed, my lad! I will win!'

This guy had a huge obsession with winning, whoever he was. The blonde growled, deciding to keep up his pace of running. Why search for something when it's obviously going to search for you? He kept running, attempting to find some way out of the trees. Everything was starting to run together. Like the branches were connected. And didn't he see that tree before?

'You honestly think you can slip me again? You and your friends caused me a world of trouble the last time. I'll be damned if it happens again.'

The blonde cried out as a hand wrapped around his ankle and the ground below him opened up, the arm pulling him down into the dark depths of the crater

Ludwig sat up in bed quickly, panting and sweating. His heart was racing as his blue eyes darted around the room quickly. He hadn't seen Slender since what had happened to Arthur, but his dreams were about nothing but. Slender was haunting him and he was obviously pissed. He hated them all for foiling his plans. But was he really here? Could he still be alive? He was, regrettably, probably older than Ludwig himself. Maybe younger than his brother, Gilbert...but not by much according to Arthur's books.

The German jumped when his phone went off. He sighed, rubbing his tired eyes and grabbed it. His eyes glanced at the screen before answering.

"Ve~...Germany...?"

"Ja. It's me."

The Italian on the other end sighed, "Thank God. I was afraid I wouldn't get you!" he perked up a bit, "But, I've been wondering...have you been having...dreams..?"

"Dreams?"

"Mhm," Feliciano hummed out, "About...him."

Ludwig went silent for a minute before answering, "Slender?"

"Ve~...Slender..."

Arthur walked around the kitchen straightening random things up from breakfast. Alfred had left a few hours ago to meet with Matthew. Something about a "brotherly outing". When did they start that, exactly? Either way, Arthur was left with the cleaning. They had let a few things go over the week and Arthur had to make sure that the house was entirely dirty incase Matthew decides to come home with Alfred.

But, God how he hated being alone.

The house him and Alfred had moved to was as far away as they could possibly get from anything resembling a forest. As dense as it may have been. Arthur wouldn't allow it and Alfred didn't feel comfortable with it anyway. So it was a mutual agreement between the two that the forest was a no-go. Living in town wasn't exactly a bad thing anyway.

His phone went off and he pulled it from his pocket. He had changed his God awful ring tone a long time ago after everyone, especially Alfred, picked on him about his choice. Something about it being obvious and the like.

Without looking at the caller ID, he hit the answer button, "Yes?"

"I was afraid I wouldn't get ahold of you, what with the move and all."

"It's no trouble, Ludwig, really," Arthur smiled.

After everything had happened, it really strengthened his and Alfred's relationship with Ludwig and Feliciano. Despite the trouble they had gone through, it actually helped in the work place between the four. Less fighting was a plus in their meetings, that's for sure.

"So, is everything alright over there?"

"Ja. More or less. I was woke up last night by Feli calling me all night..."

"No he wasn't! West had a nightmare!" Gilbert cheered happily in the background.

Said blonde growled, "Ignore him. It makes life easier."

Arthur just shook his head, "Honestly, is everything alright? I've been worried about you guys as of late. Is Lovino still not allowing Feliciano to call me?"

Ludwig let out a short laugh, "If you thought Lovino hated you before..."

"Well, what with Feliciano obviously stretching the truth, I'd be pissed as well if one of my brothers came home telling me they were almost killed by someone like Slender. How'd he get Lovino to believe him anyway?"

"Antonio."

"Makes since." Arthur laughed out as he walked up the stairs to the bedroom.

"Say, Arthur," Ludwig started from the other side of the cell, "Have you been seeing strange things?"

"Not since what happened a year ago. Why?" The Brit asked while cleaning his and Alfred's room.

The German sighed, "No reason. It's just...it feels different for some reason."

Arthur went silent as he sat on the bed gently. Slender had taken his toll on everyone. Not just Alfred, Francis, Ludwig, Feliciano, and himself. But everyone around them. Gilbert had become more protective, even if he wouldn't admit it. If Arthur remembered right, Feliciano told him that Lovino had blocked the doors and locked the windows and told him that he wasn't allowed back to Ludwig's house. Francis had pretty much went MIA from possibly a mix of fear and guilt. The poor bastard still blamed himself. And, well, Alfred and Arthur had each other. But it still didn't stop the nightmares...

"Look, your brother is there, right? You've nothing to fear. After you told him what Slender had said to you, he hardly ever lets you out of his sight," Arthur laughed.

"Ja, tell me about..."

"Well, I've got to go. It's almost time for Alfred to come home and I'm not even remotely done cleaning."

Ludwig bid his goodbyes and hung up. Arthur got up off the bed and picked up a few dirty clothes, slipping his cell phone into his pocket. He wasn't entirely over the incident and being in their house alone made him a bit uneasy, but he knew he had to deal. Alfred was coming home soon after all. It wasn't like he'd be alone for much longer.

On his way out the door and down the hall, he spied something dark out of the corner of his eye. Turning around to see what it was, he dropped everything and his eyes went wide. There, at the end of the hall between the guest room and the bathroom, stood the nightmare that had been chasing them all the entire year. The Brit stood frozen as he stared back at the man, eyes as wide as saucers.

Before the man could even attempt to get close, he darted into the room he and Alfred shared, closing and locking the door. He practically ripped his pants' pocket off to get to his cell phone, dialing Alfred. He backed away from the door, looking at it in pure horror. His breath quickened it's pace. His heart was about to beat out of his chest. Why and how did he come back?!

"Yeah babe? What's up?" Came Alfred's cheery voice as he answered.

"He's back.."
