Trick And Kill~~Jeff The Killer X Reader X Eyeless Jack

Chapter 32 Lights Out

~~~Heavy Violence Ahead~~~
 
 
   Smiling slyly to yourself, you made your way through the forest, running at full speed. It was a hell lot easier than you thought to slip out of the house unnoticed and escape inside the dark forest. You were a bit taken aback by the easiness your task surprised you with and couldn’t help but wonder if they did notice and they were just hot on your tracks. But being the careful huntress you are, you stopped many times and checked, using your hearing and sensing to check if anyone was behind you, but the result was always the same. No one. Still, even if they didn’t know now, it was a simple matter of time for them to notice your absence. So you must hurry up and return without them finding out anything.

  You hated that you went out despite the restriction that Slenderman enforced, but there was no other way to find your family’s killers before it was already too late. They were unable to understand the burden that you were carrying with you since the start; as the only living member of your family, it was your responsibility to take revenge for their deaths. You owed it to them as well as to Evan. It was the first –and last- innocent one that you brought into this and who payed for the wrongdoings of his friends, so it would be a sin from your part to let the others escape and not fulfill your promise to him as well. Even in death, Evan was still helping you a bit out, since every time you had a nightmare, with all the heartless people coming after you, he appeared out of nowhere, smiling to you kindly and lending you a helpful hand. You knew not, if there was life beyond death and if it was truly him or a fraction of your memories of him, but he did help and you owed him. The monster inside your head silently agreed with you, fueling the anger and insanity you were feeling against the remaining killers more and more. Yes, you were insane; but there is a matter of pride and duty even among the crazier people that walk on this pained planet. Thus, you had to find them. You hadn’t spoken to anyone about your nightmares or Evan appearing in them or any of the ‘visits’ Cady gave you, not even speaking to EJ, but you just couldn’t drag them into this as well. It had only slipped out when you were yelling at Jeff that you had nightmares and you had immediately regretted it. You were still mad with the smiling killer, since if he wasn’t as stubborn as f*ck, then the restriction wouldn’t be up and they could also help you out if they were that worried about you. But noooooo, we had to do this the sneaky way.

  The forest around you was as the very first day you entered it.

 The bright moonlight was pouring through the trees, falling on the newly fallen snow that covered the cold earth, reflecting the silver light all over the mystical place, giving it a fairytale tint as you raced through the tall trees, your feet submerging in the snow, only to be ejected forward in mere milliseconds, as you nearly flew between the trees. A few stray snowflakes were dancing here and there, carried away by the cold wind that filtered through the rough scenery around you, making your skin react to its cold touch, sending a few shivers down your spine, but not affecting you as much as if you were a human. The whole forest was submerged in a strange silence, making all alerts inside your mind go off. As if Nature herself was preparing for the upcoming storm, not even a single soul was seen anywhere, which was rather strange for such a deep forest; not even the Rake was anywhere to stumble across your path. Something was coming and everyone knew it.

  As you took your very first step in your hometown’s premises, you noticed two things.

  First, there were no lights in the streets. The whole town was submerged in complete darkness, giving the whole place a nightmarish aura, pushing your limited sanity to its limits and making the monster inside your head growl loudly, giving you a ringing in your ears and making you look around in high alert. Of course, your heightened sight was not so much affected by the complete darkness, as you made your way to the road with exceptional ease, looking around you for the possible threat that might come out at any given second. Secondly, there was not a single soul walking around the entire town. Usually, even at this late hour, there should be just two or three people making their way to their homes, or even walking towards the towns’ few bars, usually talking loudly among themselves, making their voices be picked up immediately by your ears. But right now, there was nothing. No one was outside, no one was seen or sensed, walking towards any direction.
