A lot of people didn’t like the cult. I mean, who would? ..Besides the brain-washed people that are genuinely devoted to Slenderman.

But no one joked about leaving the cult. Due to fear, finding it pointless, or.. whatever reason. Besides, Slenderman has his way into forcing the people inside.

Tobias was a different case.

Whenever you were around him, you’d note that he made jokes about how much he hates this place and how he wants to leave. Which is probably the truth.

For example, “I’m gonna leave this place.” “This cult sucks.” And you wouldn’t blame him if everything he said, he said it with honesty.

But when Tobias decided to actually leave the cult, it was a surprise.

You two were making pancakes. You’d ask him if he wanted waffles, but he vouched against the idea. Rambling about how much he hates em..

Suddenly, out of the blue, he tells you, “I-I-I’m leaving this c-cult. Sle-sl-Slenderman doesn’t have a-any co-control over me an-any-anymore, and I don’t FUCK! c-care if it costs an a-arm and a l-le-leg to leave.” With his back faced against yours.
