- She is in stable condition, but was 'a millimeter from death' after a stab wound nearly cut a major artery

The Slender Man is a prevalent internet myth that has been a viral sensation since it emerged online in 2009
Geyser and Weier told police they read about the fictional character on a website known as Creepypasta Wiki, where scary stories are submitted by users.
One of the suspects is understood to have told police a user must kill someone in order to climb into the Slender Man's realm.
When the victim escaped in the midst of the assault, her assailants grabbed her and pulled her into the woods and told her to lay down and be quiet, hoping she would bleed out and die, according to court documents.
'I thought, "dear god, this was really happening"
-Suspect Anissa Weier told police about the moment she saw co-conspirator Morgan Geyser flash the knife she was holding in her waistband as they headed to the park to attempt to kill their friend
She eventually crawled out of the woods, covered in blood after being stabbed in the legs, arms and torso. A passing cyclist saw her and called police. The girl was taken to the hospital and is expected to live, despite being stabbed a dozen and a half times.
Surgeons say she was a 'millimeter from death' - one of the stab wounds nearly sliced open a major artery.
'It was weird that I didn't feel remorse,' one of the girls told detectives.
'The bad part of me wanted her to die, the good part of me wanted her to live,' the other girl said.
Both girls are charged as adults with attempted pre-meditated murder. If convicted, they face 65 years in prison and are being held on $500,000 bail each.
The criminal complaint spells out how the Geyser and Weier initially planned to put duct tape over their friend's mouth while she was sleeping and then stab her in the neck as she lay in bed, but then they thought that a bathroom would be a better scene for the crime because it would be easier to clean up after, according to CNN.
