House of the Eighth Gate

This is all fiction. I do not condone any actions taken in my stories in the real world. This is simply for fun, hardly anything I write will be canon. This will contain o.c x canon, if you don't like, leave and block me. Allusions will be made to the Slendermansion au, I know Hoodie and Masky are not actually proxies, but in this universe I've written. they are, simply as that's what I'm most familiar with.

If any of these things bother you, just ignore and block me. I don't want to deal with any drama, I just want to chill with my silly little guys and stories.

Narrative Summary

On 10/28/2025, complainant reported that their daughter, Annalise Carter, failed to return home following a Halloween party attended with her college roommate. Initial canvassing and search efforts conducted by Seattle PD yielded no trace of the subject. After two weeks, search operations were suspended due to lack of leads.

Family members reported that Annalise’s Nikon N4004 camera (black body with distinctive red strap and “A. Carter” written in marker) was missing from her personal effects.

On 12/29/2025, two months post-disappearance, Idyllwild Substation (Riverside County) recovered the missing Nikon camera inside a weathered canvas bag discovered near a hiking trail outside Idyllwild, CA. Chain-of-custody established; evidence logged under RSO Case #25-12-455.

Film rolls inside the bag were processed by SPD Forensics. Images recovered include:

Abandoned Summer Camp: Numerous frames depicting a wooded campground in Idyllwild National Forest. Notably, the location appears maintained and intact in photographs. Upon in-person investigation, deputies confirmed the site is in advanced state of abandonment (collapsed cabins, vegetation overgrowth).

Children: Multiple photographs depict two unidentified juvenile females. Their apparent ages are between 5-14 years. Both faces obscured in every frame (motion blur, cropping, or obstruction). Children appear related (possible sisters). No immediate distress visible.

Local Residents: Series of candid photographs of Idyllwild townspeople, taken both outdoors and through residential windows. Some subjects identified, others pending. None reported personal contact with Annalise Carter.

Unidentified Figures: Several images include a tall woman (unidentified, loosely recognized by some locals though no confirmation yet). Additionally, repeated images show a tall male figure in formal suit attire; his face consistently obscured by shadow, blur, or angle.

The provenance of the photographs remains unexplained. It is unknown how the camera traveled from Seattle to Idyllwild, approximately 1,200 miles away.

Current Status / Disposition

Seattle PD Missing Persons Unit and Riverside County Sheriff’s Office coordinating investigation.

Identification of juvenile females ongoing.

Efforts underway to determine if camp depicted in photographs can be correlated with historical property records.

Camera and negatives secured as evidence; digital copies archived.

Annalise Carter remains listed as missing.

Trigger Warning!

Non-consensual impregnation and assault of a minor by a medical professional, victim blaming

"Our daughter was a sweet child, she always dreamed of helping others, and she was dedicated to going to med school since she was 10. We..We never could have imagined something like this could have happened. Doctor Harris was such a kind man who was helping our family and giving Roweena a chance at a better life." - Loralei Jameson, the mother of the missing woman, Roweena Jameson

Name: Roweena Jameson

Age: 17

Location: Mother's Manor

Rank: Child of Intentions, sixth of Mother's children

Voice: AJ Michalka as Catra

Small Backstory Overview: They say never to meet your heroes. Roweena Jameson never thought that could apply to her, after all, her heroes were doctors. She admired them and strived to be one since she was 10 years old. But oh, how she never could have known how her life would be altered by one day at 15. Her parents took her to a beautiful flower field for a picnic. When they were only 20 minutes into eating, a storm suddenly brewed, lightning struck throughout the field, and then, in the blink of an eye, Roweena was struck. Her parents rushed her to the nearest hospital, where she was put in a medically induced coma to help her body heal.

Though it lasted longer than first intended due to her brain swelling not going down as fast as they anticipated, it went from a one-month coma to a five-month coma. As her parents were losing hope, it was revealed by a nurse that their daughter was pregnant, 4 months along. Roweena's main doctor came forth and admitted to assaulting their daughter regularly, saying that she looked much like his late wife when they were teenagers. Her parents, to soothe their conscience about this happening to their only daughter, said that this was all part of a greater plan and never pressed charges, and helped pay off nurses to never report this or to ignore test results.

So poor Roweena wakes up at the 5-month mark from her coma to being pregnant, and her parents say that once she turns 18, they expect her to get married to her doctor since she is having his child. They told her this was a chance for her to have a better life.. They pulled her from school, and the doctor, Edward Harris, came to visit almost daily, always touching her stomach and talking about the wedding. Her parents even allowed him to attend all the prenatal appointments. When she went into labour, 4 months away from her 17th birthday, her body could not push the baby out, her hips tooo narrow, so she had to get a C-section. And while she was healing, she saw her daughter once, to name her.

Then, the doctor took the baby to his home and started ignoring Roweena's parents' calls. And he filed a motion to revoke Roweena's parental rights. She escaped the hospital while recovering, the rage of a child and a mother wrapped into her being as she broke into Edward's home and killed him with a butcher's knife from the kitchen. She castrated him before craddling her daughter, Rosaline, and escaping. She ran and ran and ran. She headed south to Idyllwild, a town only about a 6-hour walk from her small hometown. She stayed near the woods with her daughter, stealing medical supplies from homes during the night to keep her wounds clean.

When a woman found her, she had blonde hair and spoke with a Russian accent, saying that she knew of a group that could help her and her child, keep them safe and well fed, and all they asked for in exchange was help with medical care, as it seemed Roweena had some knowledge. This freaked Roweena out as this meant she had been watched. But she accepted nonetheless, as she could not stay on the run forever. Soon, she was helping the normal members heal simple things like broken wrists and sore throats. Rosaline would get babysat by a small group of middle-aged women, and Roweena would get all the medical textbooks she could want. She became close with the blonde woman named Marzanna. Though she soon discovered that this was not a normal retreat like she was told.

It was a cult, and the leader, Marzanna, and the other leaders were killers. She at first tried to escape, which led to a personal meeting with the Mother, who offered her a place as a leader and promised to personally help with Rosaline. In exchange, Roweena will start to personally help take care of what she calls her "Children." And train others to be basic medical assistants for the more normal people of the cult. Roweena reluctantly agreed and soon was being sent on missions only with child predators, and she started to find fulfillment in cleaning up the world.

"I recall once there was a young girl in this village, who would probably be in her twenties now. Her father hated the poor girl, her mother died in labour, but none of us could help her, her father was the backbone of our small village, as the only blacksmith. Though before that girl left, everyone believed she killed her father, even though no body was found." - A quote from a local from a small Russian village where

Name: Marzanna Kuznetsova

Age: 22

Location: Mother's Mansion

Rank: Child of Concentration, Third of the Mother's Children

Voice: Alice Malakhov as Yenisei

Small Backstory Overview: Corgito Ergo Sum. A phrase in Latin meaning "I think, therefore I am." A statement of existence, you live and exist through your own brain and how you think. But what a hard phrase to live by when you're Marzanna Kuznetsova, a girl whose father ignored her very existence.

See, Marzanna was born during the winter solstice, a strong and bitterly cold blizzard raging outside, preventing any doctor from coming to her mother and father's aid. Her mother was the village's herbalist and a witch. Sadly, due to the lack of medical attention, her mother died from hemorrhaging. Her father, consumed by grief, named her Marzanna for she took the light of his life away from him, and he would never forgive her. He ignored her existence for many years. The poor child nearly died many times.

One night, when searching for more warm items to use during a cold night, Marzanna found her mother's journals of witchcraft, and she devoured those books, reading them all with a passion, wanting to know as much as she could about her gone mother. She began practicing nd became skilled. By the time she was 16, she was fairly strong and well-versed. And she was also angry, angry at her father for ignoring her, abandoning her, hating her, angry at the townspeople for never helping her. So one night, when her father was eating his soup, she cast a simple hex, one to slowly stop his heart. After he collapsed, dead before he hit the ground, she took him to the cellar and hid his body in some loose wall paneling.

Then she went upstairs and slept the best she had ever. In the morning, she awoke from a dream, telling her of a forest in America that she must go to. Sh doesn't know why, but feels in her gut that she must. She booked a one-way flight to Idyllwild, California, and packed her few items she owned into a simple suitcase, and that evening, she left the only home and country she knew. Thankfully, she took an English class during her schooling, so she could communicate in America. Once she arrived, she quickly headed to the forest. She knew that in this place, she would learn more magic and play a hand in taking the lives of those who have harmed others. As she headed inside, she sensed a darkness that was warm and welcomed her inside, like a hearth welcoming home a tired and hard worker.

The first notice of the disappearance of Analiese Carter, posted on Facebook by an aunt of hers. Police are attempting to get in contact with her family to ask why her camera could have possibly appeared in California when she stayed in Washington her entire life.

"We are hoping that by releasing some scans, someone will come forward with information or a location. It may not be the best option but it is one of the few we have as of now." -A statement made by a police officer when asked if it was wise to release such photos to the public

"We believe the camera we found belongs to Analeise Carter, a missing woman from Washington. We are unsure how her camera came to be found in a California forest, and our forensics team is currently combing through the film we discovered." -A Californian police officer on the case

"If you visit the Blythe Home in England during the springtime, it's said you can catch glimpses of the Blythe Heiress who died on her wedding night. Apparently, a man broke in and murdered her after the wedding night at her family home." - A British historian focusing on the Victorian Era

Name: Morweena Blythe - The Unholy Ghost

Age: 17 forever Location: Mother's Manor Rank: Child of Mindfulness, second Child of The Mother Voice: Emily Watson as Victoria Everglot Small Backstory Overview: Morweena was a soft-spoken lady, just as her mother and father raised her to be. She could dance with perfect grace and sing as well as the ladies of the court, her embroidery perfect. She was the perfect child for her parents, and they set her to be wed to her father's partner's eldest son. A smart man and a physician. Though there was something no one knew about Morweena. She was plagued with gruesome nightmares, voices echoing in her head, and visions lingering in her sight. She hid it well, but her fiancé discovered it when he snuck into her room one night to visit her, only to find her thrashing in her bed, sobbing over the people in her room. He was horrified that his perfect fiancée was a madwoman. He could not break off the engagement now without backlash, so he plotted. The night their two families had dinner together to celebrate the wedding, which had happened earlier in the day, the fiancé slipped Strychnine into her soup before the dishes were passed out. As the dinner was winding down, Morweena had a seizure and struck her head against the floor. She died within a matter of minutes. The fiancé said that they should not release the true way she died, for what if the public believed something was wrong with the entire Blythe family? Morweena had two younger brothers, and what if no young ladies would take them as husbands out of fear of the family's health? So everyone agreed to fake a break in the story. Never knowing that Morweena's soul never left the house, it anchored to an ornate silver mirror. Forever trapped to stay with the mirror, which was passed down to her youngest brother's eldest daughter and down to the rest of her descendants, until one joined the Mother's cult and offered the mirror as a gift.

"They say there's a figure from the Bible that never made it to the english translation, that she was cast out for her origions. She only was mentioned once it's said." - Quote from a college professor who teaches a Bible lit class

Name: Permila - The First Blood Age: Estimated 6,000-7,000, though around 24 mentally Location: Mother's Manor Rank: Child of Speech, first Child of The Mother Voice: Susan Egan as Megara Small Backstory Overview: Rage. Cold rage was the first thing to be felt by her. An all-encompassing feeling that fueled her as she dragged herself from the ground, it was dark out, and she was ever so cold. The wind was howling, her head was heavy, as she drags herself from the riverbed where Abel's blood had mixed with water, forming her body. As she stands up, legs trembling, she sees a man relaxing on a large stone, in simple cloths dyed black, with hair as dark as the sky above her. He smiled simply and offered out a hand. "What an odd creature you are. Born of the first murder, life born of life taken. You do intrigue me, I suppose I shall keep you as an underling." She simply blinks "Who even are you?" Her voice, one she somehow recognizes yet doesn't at the same time, is hoarse and raw. The man simply hums before responding, voice as smooth as the river down below "I am known by many names young one. Though you may call me Lucifer." He then stands, towering over her "I suppose you must have no name yet. Should I gift you one?" She does not know how to respond, what even is a name, she ponders "Is a name important?" He grins, leaning down "Oh quite, names bring power young one. And for one born such as you, a name is of great importance." He seems to ponder for a moment, eyes tracing what she looks like before he finally responds "Permelia would suit you, a name meaning sweetness, duality is always a strong blade to wield." Permelia pauses, the name sinking in, past her skin and into her bones, nestling deep inside her. One word that feels...correct.

"There's this cult in the woods, run by this crazy bitch. My gramps says that she looks exactly the same as she did 36 years ago." - Quote from local in Idyllwild, California where the cult known as "The House of the Eight Gate" first emerged

Name: Sylvia Reika Thomas - The Mother Age: 36, eternally Location: Idyllwild, California Rank: Leader of The House of the Eight Gate, high ranking proxy under Slenderman Voice: Erika Harlacher as Shinobu Kocho Small Backstory Overview: Raised by a Japanese immigrant mother and a white father was hard. Especially when the bombing of Pearl Harbour hit and all of Sylvia's friends began to ignore her, her teachers grew mean to her, and within a few months, her mother was taken away. Her father, unable to deal with a reminder of his wife, shipped her off to an all-girls boarding school and arranged a marriage for her at the age of 23, though it barely lasted a year before it was found that Sylvia was infertile. Her husband divorced her, and her father disowned her for ending hi bloodline. She ran in the forest hoping to die, only to be met with It a faceless entity who spoke nothing, yet she could hear word ringing in her mind. The being disappeared, and with It, Sylvia's sanity. She devoted her life to studying It, knowing It. Making a cult dedicated to It. And eventually, poisoning all her followers in Its name, that night, It came to her, offering a deal. Prolonged life and the ability to create what It called Proxies, but to her, Children. All in exchange for keeping up the cult and feeding Its power through prayers and sacrifices. She agreed, naturally, and was granted the alias "The Mother". Sylvia Reika was no longer, and soon, The Mother would find her first Child in the strange form of a biblical figure unknown...
