So, Cameron is in her early twenties. She's been passionate about photography for most of her life. She saw it as an escape from an unhappy life. Her mother left when she was younger, causing her father to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism and turning him into a deadbeat. Her older sister was ill from a terminal illness and died when Cameron was in middle school, causing her to be stuck with her dad. She turned her passion for photography into a job, lying about her age early on to get a job at a local newspaper and occasionally taking pictures of nature. During a photography session through the woods, she notices that her camera is acting up. When she gets home, she realizes that she'd accidentally photographed Slender Man. So, Cameron doesn't know who or what Slender Man is, and she becomes obsessed with him after trying to photograph him more. She goes through the usual Slender victim stuff. Built-up of paranoia, isolation, nosebleeds, bouts of Slender sickness, nightmares, coughing, and resorting to draw the creature obsessively. She stops going to her job, eats less, and rarely goes out, only if she has to. One night, Slender Man decides that he's played with his food long enough. Cameron is sitting in her room on the brink of insanity until she hears screaming in the living room. She goes downstairs and sees Slender Man grabbing her father by throat with one of his tendrils. She begs him to spare his life, but remember, Slender Man is a cruel monster who just doesn't care, so he snaps her father's neck and then leaves her to mourn. After a while, Cameron goes into the woods and tries to find Slender Man, but Slender Man finds HER, and uses his tendrils to grab Cameron. He throws her into a broken tree branch and she gets impaled. She passes out, believing that she was going to die. But when she wakes up, she realizes to her horror that she is still alive, except she has a gigantic hole in her chest. In some iterations, Slender Man has the ability to prolong someone's death or pain, essentially keeping them alive. Now, Slender Man hasn't fully stopped the process, it will just take a much longer time for her to die. She is completely aware of her surroundings and what's going on, but she has absolutely no control over her body whatsoever, being turned into a mere puppet. She can't even scream even though she wants to every second of her new 'life'. She now serves no other purpose than to carry out Slender Man's commands until she truly dies, which will happen soon, but she never knows when.
