Work Text:
I laid in bed on my phone texting my friend since middle school. The room was dark and silent, everyone was asleep except myself since I was known to be quite the night owl.
At two in the morning, I always feel the hair on my body stand straight. I always wait. Looking around for anything sinister, but no luck. I came home for the weekend from college and my friend decided to text me while I was watching videos.
It was strange that she texts me at this time of night. I opened up her message to see that she wanted me to join her at this house party that was actually near me.
While looking at the address she gave me, I asked her who was there.
She told me just a few people.
I narrow my eyes as I looked at the word 'few'.
My friend and I are practically night and day.
She has the hype, bubbly, go lucky personality while I was the one silent and lone wolf type. She practically adopted me in school and took me everywhere in school.
School.
Recently, I have been thinking back to when I was in school.
Thinking about things I regret,
could have done better,
stuff that I enjoy and dont regret,
shit like that.
One of my biggest regret was not confessing.
There was a boy.... similar to me.. personality wise. He never spoke. Never once heard his voice. I dont think anyone has.
During the middle of the school year, I noticed he was getting..... sicker?
At least that was what I am guessing but, not long after, he suddenly vanished. I have asked my friend about him but she didn't recall the male existing. It was understandable since usually silent people tend to be forgotten but it still didnt make sense.
As I ponder the memory, my phone goes off. My friend sent me pictures of the party and just as I thought. Her 'few' was over fifty people. She sent me videos, telling me I was missing out.
I scoff at this and told her the definition of few. In the end I just got dressed cause I know she will only drive over to my house to drag me there.
I look at the clock and notice it was thirty minutes past two. The feeling was gone and I felt more relaxed.
After slipping on a hoodie, I creep my way through the house and out the door. A car suddenly parked at the end of my driveway, the window rolls down to reveal my blonde friend.
"Let's go bitch!" She calls out while jamming to a pop song that made me cringe.
"Quit being so loud Wendy.." I said as I open the car door and slipped into the seat. Wendy bobbed her head to the music as I just pull out my phone but I didnt do anything on it cause it was only taken away from me.
"Wendy! What the fuck!" I yelled, annoyed that she took my property. She starts to drive and gave me a stern look.
"Nah uh! You will not be on your phone at this party! You always do that when I take you places and I am going to stop it. You are going to socialize and make some friends." She said as she tries to look both at the road while also looking at me to speak to me. I roll my eyes and glare at her.
"Besides you need to get laid, you are too tense." She send under her breath. I gawk at her.
"Don't fuckin set me up with some drunkard!" I yelled with a heavy blush on my cheeks but she only ignores me and laughs.
Once she parks her car, I quickly felt sick. The smell alone was sickening. Smells like sex and alcohol.... puke might also be in there.
As I stepped out of the car, I can feel the thumping on the ground from the bass of the music. People littered the property with both themselves and beverages.
I follow my friend closely as she started to walk with confidence into the house. The music was extremely loud and people flooded the place like an ocean. The smell was stronger as I weave through the the people to go and get a drink for myself. Wendy went straight for the dance floor and I knew she had my phone on her, so I was kind of stuck and quickly became bored out of my mind cause I read a lot on my phone.
I grabbed a beer from the fridge and decided to just loosen up a bit since I dont know when my ride was going to finish her little party fever. Silently, I prayed she didnt do any hookups in the rooms here cause then I would be forced to walk home. I pop the top and took a swig and cringe at the flavor but I was going for the effect it would give me later.
After two bottles, I was slowly starting to join in on the dancing. I even danced with some pretty hot dudes and it shot my confidence way up when they grindded against me.
I was slowly setting my eyes on another hot male that was dancing on me, when I felt that strange feeling again.
The hair on my body stood proud, making me pause my form. The male questioned me. I never got his name but I didnt care if I did.
While I was looking around the room, he tried to get me back into our rhythm of our erotic dance but I pulled away. I came to my senses quickly after and noticed something... blue.
The guy called out to me when I walked away but I ignored him and walked towards the back of the house. The sliding door was open and it was strangely silent. I look around slowly as I noticed the passed out people in the lawn, just like the front yard. I scoff as I was going to turn around but paused when I noticed the person next to me.
A young woman, most likely around my age, was slouched against the wall of the house. She held a common red solo cup and as I walked closer, I got a full body view. A black tank top and ripped jeans.
The tank top looked soaked. I was going to turn away thinking she spilled her drink on her but I noticed her drink was straight vodka.
My hair was on the edge.
Telling me to run.
I look down and noticed red. A dark red puddled around underneath the said woman. My eyes widen as I quickly reached and lifted her tank to up. There. The cause of the red liquid was a deep gash on her abdomen. I was studying to become a person in the medical field and I knew that what was caused this was no accident.
It was a surgical cut.
I checked her pulse and sucked in a breath.
Dead.
I looked at the other people that laid on the ground. I noticed that they were all faced down. I quickly stood up and jogged over to the nearest person and checked their pulse.
Dead.
Dead.
Dead!
Everyone on in this backyard is dead! I panic and quickly make my way into the house. I try and find Wendy as quick as I could and find her against a wall, making out with some guy.
"Wendy!" I called out to her repeatedly and finally she turned to me looking annoyed.
"What! Can't you see I am busy?" She hissed as she held the neck of the male and I stopped her mid kiss making her frustrated.
"What!"
"I need my phone!" She rolled her eyes.
"Go and socialize y/n! You dont need it!"
"But I do! I have to call the police!" She stopped as she was about to go back to her make out session again.
"Why the hell do you need to call the police?" She asked loudly. I raised my hands and her eyes widen when she noticed the color red. She quickly does as she was told and I called the police.
The party was quickly disbanded as I had to explain to the host that there was at least six dead bodies in their back yard. The police and ambulance then arrived at the scene.
The body count was seventeen.
All died from blood loss and were each missing organs...
Kidneys.
I was being checked up on by a medic before I was able to leave. Wendy wasted no time in taking me home. The sun was at its peak and I was dead tired. Wendy decided she was going to hang out with me because she felt unsafe going home while her parents were not home from their night shifts yet.
Once inside, I told her to remain quiet since I was at least respectful of people sleeping. I enter my room and go into my connected bathroom and showered to get the blood off of me. The room was silent besides the shower that run under me.
It was strange.
I have never felt that feeling twice in a same night. I reached and rubbed the back of the neck. The color blue came to mind. It was a blur but I could of sworn I saw it. It stood out from the crowd. All black but possibly a blue mask. I remember I was looking out in the backyard when I saw it.
'Is that the killer?' I thought as I felt the water turn cold, making me flinch. I quickly shut it off and got out, drying myself off.
After getting dressed in some comfy cloths and handed a pair to Wendy who was in the middle of making a makeshift bed. I guess she plans on napping as well here. She thanked me quickly before changing in front of me with confidence cause I didnt really mind nor cared.
I got under the covers and listened to her as she got under her covers. She tossed and turned to find a comfortable spot and soon her breath slowed, meaning she fell asleep. It took me a while to get into a sleeping state. Eventually I did but that didnt stop me from having night terrors of last night.
I woke up in cold sweat as I heard my mother calling for me. I groan as I sat up. Wendy left but she didnt bother to clean up the mess she made.
"Fuckin sloppy.." I mumble as I fixed my hair. It was noon and I ate lunch with the family. My sister who was high school was doing her homework as she ate. She was grounded because she failed a test.
"This is stupid. I dont understand why this answer was wrong." I hear her whisper. I was guessing that the test was on meaning of countries and events. Mom set a plate in front of me.
"Well its wrong." Dad said as he dug into his sandwich.
"But Paris is the city of love! It read that it is the most romantic country in the world! The teacher is the one that is wrong!" My sister hissed in annoyance. I chewed my food in silence as I listened.
"Just because they say it is a romantic country doesn't mean that it is. It's Italy that is the city of love, Paris is actually the city of light." I told her boredly as I set my sandwich down. My sister glared at me cause I made her sound stupid in front of our parents.
My dad nodding at me in approval but I only roll my eyes.
"Going back to the dorms tomorrow?" My dad asked as I nodded.
"Yeah but I just messaged Wendy a bit ago that Ill be leaving today so I can clean up a bit." I explained. Wasn't actually my real reason, I just wanted to get away from here.
My Dad watched me as I ate and didnt say anything as he followed in suit.
Afterwards, I packed my stuff that I would be taking back with me to the dorms and put in the back of my car.
The thoughts from last night still lingered and through out today I would get phone calls from the police to ask me questions about it, which doesn't help me trying to forget the incident.
I decided to leave a lot earlier than I planned. I bid my family good bye before driving away. The drive was silent and like a blur, I was parked into a decent parking spot near my dorm. I was lucky to have enough funds to have a single room so I didnt have to worry about people bugging me.
I exited my car and paused. The feeling wasn't there but there was something that quickly caught my eye.
My eyes shook as I looked over at the forest line. It was dark because of the shade of the trees but the blue face stood out.
And it was staring in my direction.
Cold sweat dripped down my forehead and I backed away, deciding that I can grab my stuff later, it wasn't too important. I entered my dorm room with a shaky sigh. Putting my keys in a bowl, I lay down in my bed as I recall the image. I scowl as I try to compare from last night but I didnt really have a clear image of that night. I shrug it all off and decided to study. Becoming a doctor or whatever isn't easy anyways.
Night came and I set a plate of food on my desk and sat down in the swivel chair with a tired sigh. While eating quietly and reading my text book, the hair twitched on the back of my neck. I freeze and sat up straight.
It was then I noticed the change in temperature.
I look over and noticed the flutter of my curtains. The window was open. My mouth was dry as I slowly got up and walked over to the window. There wasn't anything there so I shut the window and carefully locked it properly.
Looking out the window quietly, I finally turned around only to slip and fall on my ass. I hit my head on the nightstand on my way down, making me yelp in pain. Cradling the side of my head, I wince until the pain submerged. I blink rapidly and looked for what I slipped on.
The floor was clean but then I noticed droplets. I stopped breathing so I can hear. Ragged breaths can be heard.
Reaching out, I touched the droplet with my pointer finger and I brought it up to the source of light. Dark red. It was blood and the smell of metal it was giving was a dead give away.
'Is someone injured?' I thought but another question came one after another.
'But why are they here? Why are they not going to a hospital?' More questions flood as I shakily stood.
Following the trail, it led me to my bathroom. It was pitch black and the ragged breathing has stopped. It was silent as I stared at the darkness.
Slowly, I reached out and flicked on the lights. There was no way out for them.
The bathroom was a mess. Red painted the walls and the floor. The first aid kit was open and medical supplies was everywhere. A figure sat on the toilet, a black figure. They were facing away from me and stood still like a statue.
For some reason, I couldn't help but say.
"You are a terrible thief..." I froze as I saw movement. The figure fell to the ground and stopped moving. I flinch at the sound before cautiously walking over. Eyes widening, it looked like they were stitching up their own wound but it seemed like blood lost got to them first.
Instinct kicked in and I grabbed a rag and other supplies. Laying the figure down, I clean the wound and started to properly stitch the wound up to stop the bleeding. They were lucky that the wound missed their vital organs. I stopped after cutting the sting to notice the color of their skin.... it was a sickening gray color. A dark gray in fact. I took in the appearance and flinch when I look at their face.
A blue mask.
Upon closer inspection, black ooz came out of the eye sockets but where was the source of it? I reached to grab the mask but a sudden gloved hand grabbed my wrist tightly. I gasp in pain and try to yank it away. I didnt know they were awake. They sat up and judging from the body type, 'they' was a he.
He was silent and simply stared at me with a stare that seemed endless. He turned his head downwards before standing up. Letting go of my hand, he quickly runs. I flinch and quickly try to follow him. I turn a corner than lead to the window outside. I only saw brown tuffs of hair and his black hood before he jumped out the window. And just like that, he disappeared without a word.
I was left to clean up the bloody mess all by myself of that stranger. I grumble as I scrub the last of blood on the wall. I wipe the sweat off of my brow and realized that my tv was on. I dont watch a lot of tv so I arched my brow in confusion. I got off my knees and walked out to see the same guy sitting at the edge of my bed watching the tv. I was astounded on him coming back here.
"Oi!" I called out with clenched fists. He ignored me and stared at the screen intensely. I scowl and turn my head to look at what he was watching, hoping he wasnt somehow watching cable porn on my tv but it was the news.
I blink when I see a house on fire, looked to be a cabin in the woods. I listened as I stood near the silent male who just remained still. After the change in topic, I look down at him.
"Can you at least look at me?" I asked a bit annoyed. The male complied after a while and stared. Again his eyes were pitch black...
it was like staring into nothing.
I pointed to the screen on the tv.
"Was... Was that... your house?" I hesitated as the screen showed the burning building again. He looked back at the screen and ever so slowly nodded. I ran my fingers through my hair. I cant tell if he was telling the truth. I dont think that injury from just a few hours ago was part of the house fire.
In fact, that house fire was said to just be burning for at least an hour before someone discovered it. Thinking back on his injury, it was just.. a circle. And while I was observing the wound at the time, the further I look, the narrower it got so I suspected he was pierced with a cone shaped object.
I pulled myself out of my own thoughts and stared at the back of the guys head. Staring at it... seemed to remind me of something similar. The height and the color was the main thing, even the kind of clothing. I couldn't put my finger on it. Another thing I dont understand is why he keeps coming over here.
"Do you know me? Or better yet, do I know you?" The man looked over his shoulder and nodded his head slowly again. I narrow my eyes. It's seriously late and I have class tomorrow.
"Look, if you need a place to sleep just... sleep where ever, just dont kill me in return." Not really caring anymore, I walk over to the window and reached out to shut it but a gloved hand prevented me from doing it. I look to see him looking out the window before quickly using his free hand to shut and locked the window then pulling the curtains.
He let go of my hand before sitting on my floor with my bed supporting his back and his legs to his chest. I watched him for a bit. I couldn't hear his breathing so I cant tell whether or not he was asleep of not.
I fidget before going to my nightstand and pulling out a small mirror. I walk over to him and looked at his mask and saw that there was indeed holes but they were pretty small. I raised the mirror near the holes before sighing a relief to see fog appear.
'He is not dead thankfully... I dont think I can handle another dead body right now..' I thought. I put everything away and slipped into bed. Strangely, despite there being a stranger, even though he confirmed that we both know each other, I slept.
Morning came. Thankfully on my second year of college, I stopped doing morning classes cause they were hardest to attended and were indeed kicking my ass alone.
I sat up in bed and looked at the clock to see it was ten in the morning, my class doesn't start until two so I had plenty of time. I look at my bed side to see nothing. Leaning, I saw nothing. My guess was that he left early. I got up and started to at least get ready for the day.
After grabbing my clothes, I did my morning routine after showering and had a light breakfast so I can have lunch later in the day.
After reading my text book for a good hour, I got ready to leave but paused when I opened the door. I look over to the window and walked over to it. It was unlocked so he went through the window this morning.
Without thinking, I cracked open the window slightly. I guess I was just making it easier for him to enter my room.
After that, I left the building.
When I came back it was late. Wendy wanted to study with me cause I was better at math than her and she was planning on owning her own store in the future. Don't know of what but that's her plan not mine.
Chucking my bag at the entry way, I heard the tv going again. I step further into the room to see the man sitting on my bed again with the tv on. I step closer to notice he had one of my textbooks on anatomy in his lap. He was actually reading it before looking up at me with that dark stare.
"...Hey." I said casually which he only nodded his head before going back to the textbook. I was in need of that textbook for my class tomorrow so I go and get my bag from the entry way and placed it next to my desk. I pulled out another textbook that talked about medicine and first aid before I walked over to him.
"Hey I have to use that book to study, I dont need this one. Mind if we switch?" I asked. He stayed still for a while before shutting it. He hands it to me and took the other book from me before flipping to the beginning.
'Is he interested in the human body?' I thought as watched him for a minute. My stomach growled and I realized that I haven't eaten since breakfast because I skipped lunch.
Too lazy to cook, I decided to order out.
"Hey! Do you want anything to eat?" I offer as I nudged his shoulder gently. He shook his head no without looking at me while I decide to order from a pizza place so I know I have leftover for him to have later.
After eating my fill, I looked over at him. He was against the wall on my bed like he was hiding from the view of the doorway, just reading casually. I eyed his abdomen curiously as I think back to his skin.
"Are.. Are you sick?" He doesn't look up from his book nor does he answer as he flipped a page in the textbook. I breath deeply through my nose a bit annoyed.
"Can I at least see the injury to make sure it okay?" I asked and this time response and that was a head shake.
"I need to at least put bandages on. I didnt get to do that last time." I said trying to find the excuse to look at his skin again. He only shifted where he was and lifted his hoodie slight to show that there were bandages on him. Clean ones. He didnt show any skin which made me huff.
'Did he do that himself?' I wondered as I leaned into my chair.
"Can I have a name?" I asked after a bit silence. He remained quiet before lifting his head again. I guess he was staring at me blankly. I tilted my head curiously, waiting for him to speak but he only went back to the book.
"Looks like your 'Hey' from now then.." I mutter as I turn back to my desk.
This goes on for weeks. He would be at my dorms after I come back from class and sleep the night before disappearing in the morning. Seeing him read, I picked up books from the library for him that Wendy seemed to question my choice in books.
Speaking of, the guy usually disappears into thin air when someone other than me enters my doorway. I had Wendy over to has a study session a few times and he is no where to be seen until she leaves. It was like he didnt want to be found.
I have never seen him eat before. He refuses all the meals I offered. He took care of his own injuries thanks to the textbooks he was reading.
He was strange and what was even stranger was that i started to feel uncomfortable when he wasnt around.
When I got home late, I was shocked to see the said male struggling with a guy with a different mask on. A jacket with no hood was orange yellow and his mask was white with a painted face on.
He was holding the guy with the blue mask down and was trying to stab him with a knife. I didnt know what to do! I then hear a whimper as look at the guy putting his knee on my friend's stomach.
'He knows about that?' Shakily I ran. I charged the slouched man and tackled him to the floor, holding him still.
"You damn bitch!?" He yelled as he slammed his fists repeatedly into my head. I saw red drip down into my eye when I realize he was fitting hard enough to cause my head to bleed. I was blind in one eye practically until the beating has stopped.
I was ripped out of the strange guys grasp and into a protective hold.
"Don't fuck with me EJ! You have a target, now get it over with!" The strange guy yells at whom I assumed was EJ.
The grip on me only tightened.
"No? Then Slender is not going to be happy.." the man spoke threateningly.
'Slen....der?' I blink my good eye slowly. I was in a daze. I think I might have a concussion.
The male disappeared in a blink of an eye and the man I assumed was EJ, quickly picked me up and carried me into the bathroom.
Setting me on the toilet, he turned his back to me while I watched tiredly. I felt a sharp pain looking at his back. A fuzzy image, a memory, was beside this tall figure. Though I was aware that the image wasnt real, it showed something similar. A dark back.
Though in the image, he was sitting. The boy... Jack was his name. The guy who disappeared all those years ago. I look towards EJ, who was looking for mesh bandages but he looks kind of panicked.
His figure was very similar. My mouth felt dry as I opened my mouth. Nothing came out as I watched him silently walk towards me.
The sound of running water can be heard as he starts washing the wound on my head and cleaning the blood on my face. As the plush towel touched my cheek, I stared at his mask.
"Jack?" It came out slow and I wasnt even planning on saying his name but it was the pause that EJ had that confirmed it. He ignored my words as I questioned him while he treated me. Tears prickle the corner of my eyes cause he wouldn't speak to me.
After finish treating me, he turned and left the bathroom. I panic. Was he going to leave me? I dont want that! I run out of the bathroom to see him opening the window but I grab him from behind before he could lift his foot.
"Don't!" I yell at him. He flinch and froze. I hug him tighter as he tries to pull away.
"Please dont leave!" I cry out to him. His body then shook. He lifted his hand and for the first time he took off his mask. A deep growl made me look up and my eyes were sausers. I was right about his gray skin. The color reached his face. His chestnut hair was everywhere, he had shark like teeth, His tongue was black but not as black as his eyes.
His eyes were the abyss.
There was nothing, no trace of the iris.
Black ooz that was on his mask was too on his cheeks. He hissed at me but I just stood there. His jawline, his nose, his cheeks.... they were all the same... which made me cry even harder.
"Jack.." I was sure of it... this was the same jack that went missing years ago.
Jack flinched at the name and narrowed his brow. He twitched when I reached out to his face. He bared his fangs and even bit my arm once I touched his cheek but I didnt care. He didnt sink his fangs with an attempt to hurt me. His body shook in fear. He crumbles to the floor with me.
Slowly he removed his teeth from my arm, watching the blood drip from my arm. More black ooz poured out of his empty sockets as if he was crying. I wrap my arms around his neck, my fingers curling into his brown locks and cradled his head.
"Don't leave me again... please Jack.." I cry softly into his hair. He slowly wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. We stayed like that all night until the morning.
Jack didnt leave my side that morning until he was forced to stay when I left for classes. Jack still doesn't talk to me but I didnt force it on him.
I went to class and Wendy was having a worried frenzy over my injuries. I told her that I just felt down the stairs and managed to cut my arm while trying to find a vending machine at the dorms. She took the bait but still gave me question looks. Wendy hung out that night and I notice that Jack sits outside my window when someone comes over. I felt safer knowing that he was close as I try to have a fun time with Wendy.
The weekend quickly came and I had to go grocery shopping. Jack was silent as always while he was watching tv. I slip on a backpack that had stuff in case of an emergency before facing him.
"Do you need anything from the grocery store? I am running low on food so I will be a while." I asked poking his shoulder. Even since he showed me his face. He sometimes takes it off for me when I ask but refuses other times cause he felt uncomfortable.
He looked up at me and know that I can see his expression, I could tell her was thinking. He sees my list in my hand before getting up towards my desk to grab a pen. He holds his hand out to me and I gave him my list. He didnt read it to even check if I wrote down what he wanted before handing it back to me. In messy handwriting the word 'kidneys' was written.
"You like... kidneys?" I asked slowly with an arch brow. He looked away from me before slowly nodding. I didnt think much of it but nodded.
"I am sure there would be some at the store. I dont usually see people eating them so it was a strange request. Oh no offense of course!" I said before quickly adding that cause I thought I offended him. Jack just stares and shook his head, giving me his okay. He goes back to where he was sitting on my bed while I leave the room.
After an awkward look from the butcher and a long wait in line at the grocery store, I made it back to the dorm with a lot of bag and made my way to the kitchen.
"Jack! I am back." I called out. I hear footsteps and him poking his head into the kitchen. I showed him a bag of kidneys.
"I dont know if they would ok in the free-" I pause seeing Jack drool at the side of his mouth. I tilted my head.
"Would you like me to cook some now?" He quickly shook his head no and gave me an open palm facing upward. I tilted my head questioningly and placed the bag into his palm. Jack left my sight quickly as I was putting away groceries.
When I walked back to my room, Jack was munching on a raw kidney on the floor. I narrow my eyes.
"Jack that's raw. I dont think raw kidney is good for you.." I said touching his shoulder. He only shook his head and kept eating it. I sigh and didnt question it. I offered him different food to go with the kidneys but he refused everything. In fact, he looked at the food and nearly gagged. We ended up watching movies together until we both fell asleep.
As I sleep, I felt the sweat build up and the air became cold. Next thing I know I was smelling vomit and sex. When I opened my eyes, I was back that house party that happened almost two months ago.
As I looked around, I noticed I was in the backyard again. I was reliving that moment. My body was moving all on its own. The dead girl and the other bodies in backyard was all the same. The surgical cut, the blood, the smell, the missing kidneys....
the missing kidneys?
My mind goes back to Jack when he wrote down that word on my list. The way he gagged at the other food I offered him. Him refusing for his kidneys to be cooked.
Jack.... Are you the killer?
Next thing I know I snapped awake. Jack looked down at me with a worried look on his face. He was shaking me away. I noticed my breath was rapid and i was covered in sweat. I sat up slowly as he place a hand on my lower back. I held my head in my hands as it swallowed the lump in my throat. I dread this question.
"Jack..?" I asked softly. I felt the bed dip and I can feel his stare on me.
"Did you kill all those people at that party two months ago?" I slowly as I looked up at his face. It was dark but I can see the outline of him. There was a long pause and I hear him shift on the bed. I held my breath and nearly cried when I saw him nod.
Tears flow down my cheeks. For the first time in a long time, I felt scared. Jack can sense this as he got up from the bed and slowly sat on the floor facing away from me with his knees to his chest. I watched the back of his head silently as tears flowed down my cheeks. He hasn't moved in what seemed like forever.
I pushed the blankets off of me as I got out of bed and fell silently beside him. I look at his face but I noticed he held his mask firmly against his face. His body shook when he realized I was beside him.
"J-Jack?" I called out to him but like always he was silent. I reached and grabbed his wrists gently.
"D-Do you plan on hurting me?" I asked shakily. He flinches and slowly looked at me and immediately shook his head no. With a sigh of relief, I moved closer to him.
"We are going to have a talk Jack.." I told him sternly. He remained silent as he noticed that I was starting to reach for his mask. He pulled his head away to get away from me.
"It's either you talk with the mask or stay quiet without the mask." I said through my teeth. He stayed silent but complied as he removed the mask from his face. He knows now I can read his expressions so I didnt need him to speak. I sat in front of him with a determined look before questioning him.
"Again you killed those people two months ago at that party?" He nodded.
"Did you know I was there?" He tilted his head and waved his hand side to side.
"Did you know I was there at first?" I asked rephrasing the question. He then shook his head and I nodded before thinking about the bodies.
"Other than kidneys, do you eat anything else?" He shook his head no. Well that explains why he would gag at other food.
"Were you hunting for food that night?" I asked slowly. He paused and looked down shrugging making my eyes narrow.
"You dont know?" I asked as Jack looked at the floor. I was about to open my mouth when he got up. He pulled out a bag from underneath my bed. A bag I know I dont own and pulled out a black book.
The cover only had a red circle with a 'X' going through it. The book itself looked old as it torn and burnt around the edges. He handed it to me. When I opened it, there were pictures of people with info under them. Some of them had red 'X's over the picture and some dont. Most of the pages were covered in blood. As I was turning, I noticed a familiar picture...
of me.
Then I realize this was some sort of kill list. I freeze as I looked up at Jack who had his face facing the floor.
"I was your next kill?" I whisper as I watched him. Tears blurred my vision but I saw him nodding his head. Tears stained the tattered book and I try to wipe them clean. The night of the attack with that stranger came to mind next.
"That guy... with the white mask? Does he do the same work as you?" He hesitantly nodded. I swallowed.
"Does he eat organs too?" He shook his head and there was a long pause.
"This... Slender.. is your boss?" There was a long pause before he nodded.
"Was he the one that caused that fire.... and that injury?" I asked slowly before watching him nod. Tears roll down cheeks faster now and it was hard to stop them. I felt a warm palm on my cheek causing me to look at Jack. He gave me a deep frown as he wiped my tears with his sleeve.
After he did he reached into his bag and pulled out a small object. He grabbed the book from me gently and the sound of tearing rang through the silence. I wipe my tears to see he tore out my page. Suddenly a small flame glowed in the dark room. He held the lighter up to the paper while looking at me.
Without a thought, he ignited the material in his other hand. I was watching it silently in awe. The fire ate the dry paper quickly before Jack crushed the last bit of the corner that remained, leaving it to ashes on my floor.
He swiped his arm horizontally with a angry expression on his face.
"You never attended to kill me?" He rapidly shook his headand swung his arm again like he did before. His brows were low and he got on his hands and knees and moved closer to me slowly. He reached and cupped my face in his gloved hands. His expression softened as he gently pressed his forehead against mine. He eyelids shut closed and as he pets my cheek with his thumb.
I blush at our closeness as I placed a hand on his cheek and wiped the black ooz that constantly run down his cheek. He opened his eyes to reveal the nothingness of where his eyes used to be and nuzzled my hand gently. I leaned in and gently pressed my lips against his. It was brief and I didnt allow him to respond before pulling back.
His expression was in complete shock and his cheeks were a darker color than usual. I gave him a shy smile.
"I... Honestly I never got to confess to you back in middle school... you kinda disappeared before I got the chance." I nervously scratched the back of my neck. His lip quivered as he gives me a sharp smile. He was leaning in until the sound of glass shattered.
Jack rushed and shoved me to the ground with him covering my body with his. Glass shards litter the floor as pitch black tentacles slip into the window. My head started to hurt as I hear loud static in my head. I grip my head in pain as Jack held me protectively to his chest.
A figure crawls through the window and stood tall... from what I was guess was more than seven feet. He wore a black business suit with a eye popping red tie. His complexion was white as paper and he had...
no mouth..
no eyes...
no nose...
no ears....
Just a head.
Three bodies followed him. One of them I regonized that attacked Jack before.
Next to him stood a figure with almost the same color hoodie but he had a ski mask with red string stitched into it to make a frown.
The sound of loud cracking came from the person. A male with two hatchets on his belt loop. He wore a mask that covered his lower face and word a pair of neon orange goggles.
A low growl came from Jack as he nudged me away from them. The pain was still there but I can tell what was going on. The tall figure was staring at Jack. He may not have features like Jack but I can see the skin moving.
On his head to see that this creature was furious. Jack seems to have a conversation with him as he was shaking his head continuously. Next thing I know I was suddenly picked up by Jack and making a way out the door.
The person with a ski mask then pulled out a pistol and shot at Jack. I clutch his hoodie tightly as Jack shuts the door quickly behind. The bullet made a hole beside his head on the door and Jack made a break for it with me in his arms.
With the sound of the gunshot, every one was now awake and was now doing common procedure during a lockdown during a shoot out. Jack heads for the stairs as I watched my door break off of its hinges and the black tentacles seep out of the room quickly. The three boys were the first out and were looking for us.
Hearing the door to the stairs close, they quickly make their way there. Jack pulls out his mask from his hoodie pocket and slipped it on him as he ran down the stairs. The loud footsteps echoed and it didn't help the ringing in my head. We made it outside and Jack quickly makes his way to the parking lot.
He hides beside some vehicles and watches as the three boys scatter to find them. Once Jack was sure they were not near, jack checked the cars between us and opened the passenger seat to one of the vehicles.
I looked at him curiously as he moved quickly and slipped me into the seat. He gently pushed my head down to tell me to stay low and pressed a gloved finger where his lips were on his mask. He quietly shut the door before bolting.
I watched him go back to the dorms before lowering my head. I can hear the footsteps of their others. They were close to me. The sound of glass shattering made me flinch. I shakenly look to my side to see a hatchet going through the radio. A loud crack was heard.
"F-F-Found ya!" The boy with a tic yelled at the back of the car. He has thrown the hatched through the back window. I looked at him in fear as he moved to the driver side door and opened it.
"E-E-EJ r-r-real-ly h-has gone s-s-soft.." He male grunts as he yanked the hatchet from ther radio.
"N-n-n-no har-rd feel-lings!" He made a loud crack as he raise his hachet over his head. I was about to open my door to try and escape but a scapel was jabbed into his shoulder. The boy wasnt fazed by it and he was quickly tackled to the ground. The sound of grunts can be heard outside as the door to the driver seat was shut.
Once it was quiet, the door suddenly opened, making me flinch but relax to see Jack climb in. He pants were ragged and was bleeding but he waved me off when I reached for him.
He tossed a bag into the back seat and slid seat back to hot wire the car. I wasnt going to question it as he started the engine. The other two were close and the boy with the ski mask even shot at us a few times. Jack shoved my head down while he pulls out quickly and sped out of the parking lot.
Jack released my head so I can sit up straight. I look at him quietly and I see him clutching his side tightly. I reached and gripped his hand which he reluctantly allowed me to look at. I lift his hoodie as he drove and bite my lip.
I was going to cry again. I touched the tender skin as it bled heavily. It was very much similar to the wound when he first entered my house.
"D-Do you have a kit in your bag?" I asked and he nodded as he kept his eyes on the road. I reached for the bag he tossed in the back seat of the car. Sure enough there was a white box with the famous Red Cross on it. I pulled out the lighter as well and put it onto my lap as I search for other supplies I was going to need. I searched for a cloth and luckily there was also some clean shirts and water bottles in the back seat that seemed to be forgotten.
I worked on cleaning and stitching his wound as he drove. Jack flinched a few times before he remained still for me to work on him properly. Once I was finished, I took in my surroundings but I didnt recognize anything. I quickly bandaged him up and relaxed slightly into the seat. Jack glanced at me before he pulled onto the side of the road and parked.
He got out and went to the back to grab his bag before going over to my side and opening the door. He helped me out of the car and and grabbed my hand gently before walking.
We walked silently for several miles. Jack put me on his back cause I was barefoot and I was tired. Looks like my adrenaline wore off. The sound of critters reached my ear causing me to wake up.
"Aren't I heavy?" I asked feeling bad since he was still in pain, but he only shook his head and looked around. I was able to convince him that I could walk on my own and we walked together hand in hand. He gently pulled me with confidence as we came into view of a small cabin. It was deep into the woods so it was well hidden.
He opened the door and tucked me inside. It smelt like pine inside and it was furnished. Jack staggered once he took a few steps and I panicked as I ran to his side. I gently held him and attempted to carry him to the couch.
After laying him down, I quickly shut the door and shrugged the bag off my shoulders. I kneel beside him and tugged the hoodie carefully off to see a black shirt underneath. I accidentally knocked his mask off to reveal his sweaty complexion. I quickly lifted his shirt over his head as well before looking at the damage.
His bandages were soaked through and he had long scratches all over his chest. I glance at his hoodie and finally noticed that it was damages in several places. I grabbed the medical supplies from the bag again and started to work on Jack.
It took nearly an hour, there were several stitches that needed to be done and Jack passed out from blood loss so I struggled to change his bandages. I sigh tiredly when I noticed the sun was up. I can feel the bags under my eyes as I looked at his sleeping form. I didn't realize I was crying until I sniffled. I wipe my tears and let out a sigh.
Jack then grunts awake. He sits up hissing in pain and I quickly moved over and pressed my palm against his chest. He flinches at the skin to skin contact. He slowly looked at me and down at my hand. He gently grabs my wrist with his gloved hands and carefully pulled me in his lap. He slowly laid back down with me in his arms before he suddenly fell asleep again.
I looked at his hand before grabbing one and carefully pulled the glove off. His hand was entirely gray which was no surprise at all to me but what was interesting was the shape. His fingers were more pointed, like claws.
I traced his palm gently before I watched his fingers twitch and overlap my fingers into a gentle hold. I blink before looking up to see he was awake but in a daze. I adjusted myself so I was facing him. He turned his head towards me and watched. I slipped my hand out of his grasp as I gently cupped one of his cheeks while supporting myself with the other.
I felt his arm drape across my waist lazily. I leaned down and kissed him carefully. Jack was quick to respond and kissed back. His lips were surprisingly soft. The kiss itself was slow and passionate. I tilted my head to deepen the kiss more as I traced his jawline which he seemed to like.
I feel him carefully nip at my bottom lip to ask for permission for entry. I opened my mouth slowly for him, just enough to slip his black tongue into my wet cavern. There was no battle as I allowed him to explore and take his time to claim every inch before playing with my tongue with his own.
His free hand thread through my hair and carefully pulled me away since we needed to breath. He angled my neck and peppered my neck in kisses with his new access. I shudder as I felt the cool air touch my newly wet skin.
His hand slipped up my shirt but I grab his arm. He looked at my flush face curiously before untangling himself from me.
"S-Sorry. I would feel more comfortable doing that when you are in a better condition." I admitted as I looked at his abdomen. My blush worsened as I now looked more closely to his stomach. I didnt realize he had a v line peeking out from his pants and had a nice flat stomach that I would love to scratch my nails down on but I didnt want to do that when he was so injured.
Following my gaze, he understood and agreed with me with a nod. We left it at that and decided to sleep for now on the couch.
When I woke up from my deep slumber, Jack was running his fingers through my hair carefully. He felt me stare, making him look down at me. I blush faintly which he seemed to like since he gave me a smirk in return. I sat up quickly making him growl lowly because I moved away from him.
"You just rest. I am going to clean this place a bit." I said shyly as I got off the couch. Jack huffs at me and just sits up to watch me.
I find some cleaning supplies before starting the journey to clean the house. When there was a place I couldn't reach, he would instantly be behind me and cleaned that spot for me.
After a while I notice he was slouched on the couch and tweaking at something. I look over to see that he had my phone and he disassembled it.
"Jack! What are you doing?" I asked with a worried tone. Taking a pair of tweasers he handed me a tiny drive that was crushed.
Upon closer inspection, it was a gps. Looks like he was removing the gps locator off of my phone so no one can trace it back to here. I sigh as he puts my phone back together and handed it to me. I shake my head and let him have it before kissing his lips.
"Thank you but I dont need it right now. I'm almost done." I said and his skin darkened from the affection before nodding.
Weeks have passed and thankfully no one has been close to coming here. Jack was able to get better and was able to do stuff on his own without him grunting in pain. I was the only one that was able to go to the nearest town to get supplies while Jack dealt with house work that needed to down at the house.
He somehow got the power running again and gave us running water as well. I came back with some cleaning supplies and started to put everything away. I started to notice it was dead silent.
"Jack?" I called out. I heard no footsteps and I slowly reached over and grabbed a bat I bought for self defense in the corner.
Jack thought it was solid weapon and easy for me to use even when I wasnt experience in combat. I searched the house and found out that no one was home. No struggle.
I hear the door open and close which made me assume it was him. I walked to the front of the house to see Jack and he was covered in blood. My eyes widen as I jog over to him. He made a gesture that told me to calm down. He opened the door and dragged in a dead deer.
"Geez you scared the living fuck out of me!" I playfully pushed him as he smiles playfully in return. Jack taught me how to skin animals and how to clean the meat. We threw out the bad and I gave the kidneys to Jack since he was going to eat them raw anyways. Jack ate them happily on the counter near the sink.
"This is pretty big. I would have been fine with a rabbit." I chuckles seeing as I was the only one that can eat this. Jack licked the blood from his lips before eyeing my stomach. I gave him a curious look as I watched him play with his food while watching me. He jumps off the counter and walked over to me, taking my hand in his. His empty eyes looked at me and his free touched my stomach. I arched my brow. He has been doing this gesture a lot lately.
'Am I too thin?' I thought which I never thought I'd say. Jack silently pulled away and walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth like he usually does after he eats. Some of the meat from the kidneys get stuck in his fangs and it annoyed him a lot.
I finish putting the fresh meat away before wandering into the living room and sitting in the couch. Too bored to watch tv, I sat straight up and saw there was a magazine. Shrugging I reached over and decided to read what it was left on. After reading a few pharagraphs, I look at the cover. '101 Examples on Parenting?' I read the title before flipping through briefly.
'Does... Does Jack-" My thoughts were broken when Jack came out of the bathroom, looking like he also showered in there seeing the lack of clothing he has. He goes to the bed room in just a towel as I ponder while staring at the word 'Parenting'.
"Does he?" I mutter as I looked at the closed door that we both slept in. I blush darkly. I have thought about a family and I have had lewd dreams with Jack but I would never admit that to him ever. Bitting my bottom lip, I get up slowly, grabbing the magazine with me and walk to the bed room.
I slowly open the door, not bothering to knock. He was starting to put on a plain black shirt while he lower half was covered in a pair of sweats. I blush until he noticed my presence. He tilted his head curiously as I walked over to him. I press the magazine on his clothed chest.
Carefully he took it from me and realizing what it is made his skin on his cheeks darken. He looked at me as I wrapped my arms around him, which he automatically moved his around my waist. I felt him fidget with the magazine in his hand behind my back.
"Jack.." I call out softly. Making him look up at me with a nervous expression.
"Are you sure you want to be one?" I asked as I bring one hand and traced his jawline. He didnt think about it as he slowly nodded into my hand. I felt the heat on my cheeks as I wasnt expecting him to answer me so quickly. I felt him grab my wrist and kissed the palm of my hand.
"Want to try?" I asked with a lazy smirk as my free knotted his hair which he loved. He nodded slowly with a mirrored smirk. He dipped down and landed a kiss on my own. Filling my mouth with tongue as he explored it. He made sure to lick ever nook and cranny he could find and claim it as his. He took his sweet time and each time he did this, always left me breathless.
When we pulled away, a string of saliva connected us and Jack broke it as he went back for more. I felt his hands run down my lower back. He lifted my shirt slightly to let his claws lightly tracing on my back which never fails to make me moan softly as he kissed. The kiss was hot and passionate. Returning loving favors to one another.
I gently bite his lower lip as he growl lowly as a warning. I giggle as I pulled my head back. He took the chance to yank my shirt over my head and before he could get to my bra, I tugged on his shirt. He grunts a bit annoyed that he didnt get his prize first.
"Take it off and Ill let you." I teased with a chuckle. With a simple exchange, Jack quickly removed his shirt despite him just putting it on.
He scars were pale against his dark skin. I reached and pressed his palm against his bare chest, lightly dragging my nailed downward.
"Your injury turned out nicely." I mutter off topic as I traced his scars that seem to make his breath hitch. I chuckle at his reaction as I pulled away. He whines quietly as I made him sit on the edge of the bed. He shuts up right away once I straddle his waist.
I kissed his jawline while I reach behind me and unhooked my bra. I teased him slowly, knowing that he was eager as he squeezed my thighs to keep me in his lap. He wouldn't allow me out of his lap as he leans me back and kissing my neck slowly. He took his time to leave various obvious marks he likes to leave behind when I leave for town. It was a dangerous warning to other people, even women, as he makes a silent promise.
His face soon met my mounds and quickly took one into his mouth. My mouth opened and I let out a quiet moan. He sucked and teased the bud slowly. I grip his hair and tugged lightly which earned me a graze from his fangs against the sensitive flesh. I mewl under his care which made him grip me tighter to keep me still. He worked on teasing each of my breasts for a few minutes until he thought he deserved to go to the next round but I wanted to tease him more.
I felt soaked down there and I want to at least release some friction. I spread my legs more and grounded his pelvis into my own. He shudders in pleasure as he add his own friction by thrusting upwards. I panted as I continued to grind against him through my clothed slit.
It was so hard to do it in my pants so I unbutton them and he seemed to get the message as he helps me out of them. He eagerly removed his sweats but left his boxers on along with my panties. With the thin fabric as I grinded into length, I whimper in pleasure.
There was a huge difference as I felt him rub against our clothed privates. I moan into his ear to encourage him. He lets out grunt and a hiss in pleasure. I was soaked.
Dripping.
And he could feel it just as I feel him het harder and harder. Jack growls lowly as he suddenly lifts me and lays me down on the bed. I blush deeply as he lightly drags his claws down my stomach. I felt something long swipe across my clothed slit. I moan as I realized it was his tongue.
He gave the panties a good few long swipes of his tongue before he used a finger to pushed the fabric to the side to he can taste the flesh. He gave me a teasing lick which made my back arch. I moan softly as he dug into me. He played with my clit and teased my opening with just his tongue alone.
I drool from the pleasure as I cry as I felt his tongue enter me again. He thrusts his tongue in and out repeatedly, making sure to rub my walls as he pulled out. I reached and curl my fingers into his hair and yanked lightly. He grunts against my cunt and I moan as I felt the vibrations.
Carefully, he slips in two fingers with his tongue which made me squirm. I let out a loud moan. Though it hurt a little bit, the pleasure completely over powered the pain. He was carefully when he curled his fingers as he thrusted them slowly before picking up the pace.
Wanting to see my reaction, he replace his tongue with a third finger. I moan and arched my back.
"A-Ah fuck~!" I cry out.
"P-Please faster~!" I whine under his touch. His free hand reached up and roughly grabbed my breast and he complied to my request and went faster. The knot that I felt in my stomach was tighter than ever as my walls wrap tightly around his fingers. He hums and lets out a low moan as he watched his finger move in and out of me. I got embarrassed and try to close my legs but he didnt allow it.
"D-Dont stare~! It's embarrassing~!" I whine as he pin my leg down as he continues, ignoring my request to not stare. I squirm and arched my back again.
"F-Fuck I-I-I- AH!~ So close!~" He twitched in response as he started creating scissor like movement which made me cry out and it didnt help when his thumb pressed against my clit, teasing it in tight circles.
Feeling that I was about to snap, Jack quickly pulled out and reattached his lips where his fingers were. He sucked and inserted his tongue again which was enough to make my cord snap. I let out a throaty moan. Jack gripped my hips so he could swallow everything as I came into his mouth. He was greedy as he licked my entrance till it was clean and I was a panting mess.
He got off of the bed and quickly yet struggled to get his boxers off. I got on my hands and knees before putting my feet on the floor. I had him sit on the edge of the bed once more while I kneel on the floor. I helped him slip his boxers off which made him blush heavily when he realized he was being very eager.
His proud length stood tall and even brushed against my cheek. He groans at the feeling of release from his cage. His length was more than I expected and I felt Jack's hand run through my hair to encourage me.
I swallowed and sucked it up as I licked the side of his length along the side. I could feel it twitch each time I run my tongue along a vein. His petting turn into a grip on my hair as I tease his member more. I kissed the tip and tease the slit before taking the head into my mouth.
He hissed in pleasure as he lightly bucked his hips to try and get as much as himself as possible into my mouth. The warmth was overwhelming him greatly as I hollow my cheeks and sucked. Slowly I bobbed my head up and downwards, each time making my way downwards till I get to the hilt.
I nearly gagged but I held it back and sucked while dragging my tongue along the side. Jack loved the sight. He watched intensely as he carefully assisted me by keeping me at a steady pace that he liked.
He groans and moans. He bit his bottom lip and threw his head back panting. It was taking everything in him to not thrust into my mouth, but Jack didnt want to get rough with me just yet.
I soon felt a twitch at the back of my throat. I quicken my pace and before I knew it, I was overwhelmed as he came into my mouth. There was so much and some of it came out of the corner of my lips. I swallowed everything before pulling away with a pop.
Licking my lips clean, I watched as Jack groan and panted heavily. He quickly pulled me into the bed and laid me down onto the mattress. He wasted no time as he spread my leg wide. I felt his rub his bare length against my clothed entrance and he growls.
Instead of taking it off normally, he tore it before eagerly going back and allowed his length to rub against me cunt bare. He moans as he held me. He was wanting and it showed as he kissed me sloppily. His tongue tangled with my own and I allow him to swallow up my moans as I felt him. I hug him and gripped his shoulders. Pulling away from the kiss, we both pant loudly. I traced his jaw with one hand.
"You dont have to be gentle.." I said reassuringly. Though it was my first time, I wasnt going to let pain get in the way with ruining what is supposed to be my most pleasurable moment. I can see the hesitance in his expression as he slipped a hand and pet my cheek as i nuzzle into it.
He nodded before using his free hand to spread my folds wide so he can slip in. I arched my back as I slowly felt him enter me. I grit my teeth as I felt the pain but I had worse so it wasnt as bad.
"G-Go." I said to him as he attempted to wait to let me adjust. Giving me a worried look, I only nodded. He trusted in my choice before he started out slow. I wince at first as he held my hips still kept my legs wide open since he enjoys watching both my expression and him thrusting into me.
He licked his lips at the sight before he his pace got rougher. The bed creaked and moved, echoing along with the sound of skin slapping skin and loud moans and grunts.
"AA-AH~! F-FUCK!~" I cry out as I felt him push deeper into me. I wrap my legs around his waist as he thrusts at a rough steady pace.
"F-Fuck J-Jack~! Faster~ H-Hard- AA-AAH der!~" I whimper out as he happily complied as he noticed that I wasnt in pain anymore. I thought the bed was going to break at this point. He was so rough but I didnt mind, it felt so damn good!
I claw his back as I felt his balls slap my ass. I whine and cry for him not to stop. He bites into my shoulder carefully but still drew blood. He lets out throaty moans as I squeezed my walls tighter. Licking the blood, he felt himself getting closer to release.
When I felt him twitch, I moan loudly as I grinding into him. Arching my back, I felt a sudden release as I came on him length. I twitched in his arms as he pressed me harder against his chest. His thrust became sloppy and when he felt his release, he gave a last rough thrust and filled me with his release.
My belly felt warm and Jack stayed for a while to keep it from spilling before slowly pulling out. With heavy pants, Jack collapse on top of me and tried to be careful with his weight on me.
He laid his head on my chest as I ran my fingers through his hair. It was calming for the both of us. I grew weak and tired, it didnt take long for me to fall asleep.
Noticing my soft snores, Jack lifted his head and combed my hair gently.
In my ear...
I thought it was a dream...
It was husky yet quiet...
But I heard the words....
"I love you.."
