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

Chapter 43 Cirque Des Damnés Part #1

 ~~~Trigger Warning: Scenes of intense violence and torture up ahead. Readers with sensitivity should not read beyond the line inside the text. You have been Warned. Thank you :) ~~~

‘Place her at the chair Jeffery. Carefully. Make sure she is positioned well. Good.’ Slenderman instructed the smiling killer as he placed you at the only chair inside Slenderman’s office.

  Everything was prepared.

  The Proxies were coming and going inside the room, carefully moving all possible furniture and decorations, leaving only one single chair, where you were already sat, arms touching the armchair’s arms and eyes plainly staring at the empty void in front of you, with the irises still not appearing and without reacting at your surroundings as well. Toby was complaining in a low voice about the chores the master of the house made them do, but an almost silent ‘shut up’ from Masky’s side made him seize to talk altogether. Slenderman had already scolded the goggled man about his constant complaints, saying that now was not the time to be quarreling, but rushing at your side to help you while there still was time.

  Jeff had carried you all the way to the master’s office, with EJ following close behind to make sure you were okay. Right after he announced his plans to the killers, Slenderman demanded that they started the procedure immediately, in case time was running lower than they thought. So emptying the whole room, the preparations were made and they were ready to enter your mind. All of them knew that it was rather odd for them to actually enter your mind and find out where the problem is, and usually they would have questioned the Master further, but now it was definitely not the time.

  So as Slenderman made sure that everything was prepared and you were comfortably sitting on your armchair, he straitened his tall, slender body once again, turning towards the others, his featureless face falling on each and every one of them.

   ‘For this task I will require the help of only one Proxy. Toby, you will remain by my side while the rest of you will depart immediately.’

  At his words, hell broke out.

  ‘What? Why Toby, Slender?’  Masky asked taken aback, as Hoody stood behind him silently.

  ‘I-I’m S-Slendy’s fa-favorite!!!’ Toby cheered, hopping up and down.

 ‘Like hell we’re going to leave!!’ Jeff announced, drawing out his knife and waving it into the air.

  ‘We are not going anywhere Slender.’ EJ crossed his hands on his chest.

‘Children, the task at hand is of great importance. I am acquiring Toby to escort me because due to his condition, he is unable to feel any physical pain. The moment we will enter her mind, she will react to deprive us from going any further in. I cannot allow any of you exposed into any unnecessary danger.’

  ‘We don’t f*cking care!’ Jeff protested.

‘We’re coming with you Slender whether you like it or not!’ EJ said lowly, but menacingly.

  The master of the house was definitely not pleased with the responses he got. It was obvious with just a look on the killers determined faces that they were here to stay and that there was nothing he could do about it. Alrighty then, maybe this one will actually teach them a lesson to take things more seriously and not be reckless to rush fast in a situation.

   ‘Alright then. You shall remain here. Masky and Hoody, guard the entrance. Do not, under any circumstances let anyone inside before I say so. Understood?’ he addresses the two Proxies who just nod and leave the room, closing the door behind them.

  ‘As for the two of you children, you will suffer the consequences of your actions.’ He says and when he moves his hand lightly, three Operator symbols appear, one under each of the three men, except the master himself ‘These Operator symbols will protect you from anything we encounter inside her mind. Do not, and I repeat, do not dare step foot out of them at all costs. It will be very easy to be trapped inside her mind if you do and there will be no way back for any of you. Her mind will detect you as a threat and exterminate any of you. Am I making myself clear?’ he said, raising his voice a little bit, to draw Toby’s attention, who had already started playing with his circle, jumping in and out all the time. Under Slenderman’s gaze through, he stopped and behaved himself.

  ‘Crystal clear. Now let’s f*cking cut to the chase.’ Jeff growled impatiently, throwing dagger glances to Toby, in case he decided to do something stupid.

  ‘How much is it going to take?’ EJ asked.

The faceless man sighed lightly, as he turned his back to his children, only to face you, his daughter, before he actually gave a response, thinking through the information that he should let them know. But in the end, he decided ‘I do not know how long it will take. The mind is a treacherous place. What I know, is that it is consisted of five veils, or levels if you prefer this term. The first veil is the External, which is consisted by the current information that the living brain absorbs. The second veil is the Personality; that, my children, is how the brain analyzes the information it takes in. It’s where the memories lie and the very place that the reactions are formed. The third veil is the Acquired Character; here lie the secrets and the thoughts that the living person forms every single day. After that, we shall enter the fourth veil, which is the Essential Soul, the subconscious mind. This is where we’ll be heading for. I believe her problem rests there. It will take some time to be lead there, but we will eventually arrive.’

  ‘And what is the fifth veil?’ EJ asks cautiously.

  This time, Slenderman turns his tall body in order to look at his children with his blank face. When he speaks, it is obvious that the seriousness in his tone does not allow any quarreling to occur ‘The fifth veil children, is the Soul. It’s where our spirits lie. We must not disturb this veil. Because if we do, we shall not return.’ His tone was grim and made the killers tense up by the seriousness of the situation.

  He once again turned to you and straightens his slender body, allowing his prolonged arms to fall on his sides and his tentacles appear from his back, slowly waving at the air around him, ready to defend and attack anything that could possibly stand in their way. In this action, the three killers behind him brace themselves. It was as if they were going on an open battlefield. Toby wore his goggles and made sure that his mouth guard was in its right place, the orange of the goggles shining brightly on the light. Jeff growled and stuffed his hands on his hoodie pocket, carefully grabbing his favorite knife that rested within, his never-blinking orbs falling on your petite and dark figure. From his side, EJ made sure that his mask was properly in place, not a single strand of hair protruding from anywhere under his black hoodie, before he looked up to you, his eyeless sockets dripping slowly with black ooze.

   Slenderman spoke only once ‘We shall begin.’

    The moment these words left his featureless face, there was an immediate change around the group. Static started to be heard, coming from every possible corner of the room. At first it was just a low static; nothing to worry about, it wasn’t even able to affect the three people that where standing behind the Tall man, especially Jeff and EJ, since Toby was practically immune. It was a low noise. You could easily block it out if you wanted to; it was that easy. But that didn’t last too long. The static, though it started out as just a buzz, started growing and growing, becoming louder and louder with the passing minutes, reaching such high levels, that the room around them started to glitch and blur, as both EJ and Jeff tried their best to keep themselves unaffected by the sheer pain the static caused. Their vision started to fade and come back and for a few times both of them could actually swear that they weren’t on the office, but somewhere else, somewhere….disturbingly different. But the other three people that were in the same room –if Slenderman could actually count as an actual person- seemed completely undisturbed by the high-pitched static, as if they were just casually having a staring contest, without the pained groans from the two other killers.

  And just as Jeff and EJ started realizing that they would be unable to go any further with this kind of torture, the static completely stopped. Both of them stared in total shock, still holding their ears securely, but the total absence of any kind of sound made them realize that this was reality. The static had been cut completely; one moment it was there, and the other moment it was gone, leaving back no traces that it ever existed, other than the sheer terror that it had spread over the killers’ un-beating hearts.

  Looking around them, everything was normal; only that it wasn’t.

 When their gazes fell on you, they immediately realized that something was going on.

  You were sitting on the comfortable armchair, arms and back resting casually on it. The red velvet of the chair highlighted well your abyss-like orbs, as you simply sat there, looking right at them without really seeing them. But you were already different. Your long/short (h/c) hair fell loosely around your face, but instead of remaining completely still, like they were supposed to, they didn’t. Instead, they appeared to be moving; as if an invisible current of air made them move, no, like gravity was absent from the room, your beautiful hair floated calmly around you, framing your beautiful face majestically. At that very moment, the scene that was unraveling right in front of their eyes was that of a surreal dream. Blinking calmly, as your skin turned more and more lighter/darker on its tint, with your hair turning at a more vivid shade, slowly but steadily, black rose vines started appearing from behind the armchair.

  Circling calmly around the rich velvet, they reached more and more towards you and started wrapping around your body. Touching your delicate skin, they twisted and turned on it, enveloping your hands, your bosom, your legs, your neck into their haunting embrace, with black roses budding here and there, adding more to the nightmarish scene and to your unearthly beauty. They had you completely tied down on the armchair, but you did no move to escape them. Just continued to stare right forward, with your soulless stare.

  And then, from right behind your armchair, the room started crumbling down.

  Cracks started appearing on the tall walls of the office, spreading fast all over, covering every possible corner of the room, with the void among them allowing clear and bright light to enter the space. There was a rumble noise that lasted for only a split second, and before EJ’s and Jeff’s very eyes, the walls and the reality around them started to crumble down to the ground. Large pieces of wall and glass fell all around them, seeming to fall right in front of them, but without touching them to the slightest and with bright light piercing through the cracks that were made, as everything started disappearing along with the floor under their feet. They didn’t want Slenderman’s observation to realize what was going on.

  ~We are entering the first veil.~ his voice boomed inside their minds.

 And then, everything around them was pure white.

  Even if you tried, you would fail to locate the horizon, as well as what was up and what was down. The only things that had some color and life inside of them where the killers themselves, that where now looking around them as if they were lost. The complete awe and wonder that overcame them surely did make them think things through for a little bit. They were inside _____’s mind, they were inside your mind.

  ~Be prepared children~ Slenderman warned them telepathically, as all of them turned and looked at you instinctively, only to realize that you were no longer there; surprise penetrated all four men at once, when their eyes didn’t meet with your petite figure. You had completely disappeared and were nowhere to be found. They all looked around them, trying to locate you, but to no avail; you were gone.

  ~What the f*ck is going on?~ Jeff was surprised to find out that instead of his voice, a telepathic message was transmitted to the others.

  ~Where is ______?~ EJ added to the question.

~I-I don’t l-like it h-h-here.~ Toby popped his head, a sound that wasn’t heard, not even to EJ that was standing closer to the Proxy, as if there was no sound around them at all.

~Silence children. Worry not about trivial matters and focus on the task at hand. What feeling do our surroundings give you?~

  The Pasta looked around them.

~The feeling of void.~ EJ suggested.

~Emptiness.~

~N-numb.~ Toby added.

‘I see we have visitors.’  A voice made all of them freeze on their spots, they didn’t know from where it was coming.

  ‘Hello.’ The voice sounded again, and in front of the killers eyes, a little girl appears, standing just where your self was a few seconds ago. Upon looking at her, it was obvious that she was barely over seven years of age. She had long, curly (h/c) hair that cascaded gracefully down her back, all the way to her petite waist. Her face was sweet, with a pair of big (e/c) eyes to make her beautiful white skin seem even whiter. She was looking so innocent and fragile, but there was something else on her appearance that warned the killers to know better than that. And that was the fact that she was wearing an all torn witch costume, that was so bloodied, that little drops of blood were falling down on her feet, staining the pure white floor, as well as a huge slash that graced her little face, starting from above her left eyebrow, all the way to the right side of her small lips. She was looking at them steadily, her face showing no emotion ‘My name is Cady. Who are you?’

~You are ____’s little sister!~ EJ exclaimed surprised, before he could stop himself.

Cady turned her (e/c) orbs to the blue masked killer ‘And you must be Eyeless Jack or EJ. You have grayish or ash black skin, with complete lack of eyes and a black substance dripping from the holes that no one can identify, while your hair is auburn colored. You stand at 5’ 8’, your weapon is a scalpel, you are a cannibal and usually prefer eating the kidneys, excellent at the medical field and you smell like medicine and cherries.  Your usual attire is a pair of jeans, a black hoodie and a navy-blue mask with no features. My sister told me a lot about you.’ she says to a dumbfounded EJ.

  ~H-how do y-you k-know all t-t-these d-damn things?~ Toby says, reaching for his hatches, suddenly on attack mode.

  In response, Cady only turns her gaze to him ‘You are Toby Erin Rogers, Ticci-Toby or Toby for short. You are the third Proxy of Slenderman and you suffer from Tourette Syndrom. You stand at 5’ 6’, with black eyes, white skin and a wound on the left side of your mouth. You wear jeans, a black shirt and a hoodie, along with a pair of orange goggles and a mouth guard. Your weapon of choice is a blunt hatchet and a sharp hatchet, you smell like honey and cinnamon, you love waffles and you are in love with Clockwork. You are my sister’s best friend.’

  ~Child, how do you know all this?~ Slenderman questions the little girl.

‘You are Slenderman, Der Großmann or Der Grosse Mann. My sister contains all information about her surroundings and thus I am aware of them as well.’

 ~Well can you f*cking take us to her?~ Jeff draws the attention of the little girl.

Cady looks at Jeff ‘You are Jeff the Killer or Jeff. You stand at 5’ 9’ almost 6’ 0’, have burned white skin, black eyes with no eyelids, coal black hair and have slit your mouth into a smile. Your attire is black pants and a white hoodie, your weapon of choice is a knife and your only companion is a dog named Smile. You smell like lavender, were the only one that did not accept my sister immediately and you have a brother named Homicidal Liu or Liu for short. Why should I tell you where my sister is?’

 ~Because we must f*cking take her back with us.~ 

‘Oh really? Why should I do that? I trusted you my sister once and you failed me. So I was the one that she turned to when she needed help. I was the one that protected her. So why should I do anything you say?’  Cady gives them a small, devious smile.

 ~We want to see her Cady.~ EJ stepped up.

‘My sister is currently in a deep slumber. You cannot see her at the moment.’

~Then you shall take us to her child.~ Slenderman announces strictly.

Cady turns to the tall Master and her adorable face is immediately lightened up with a big smile ‘Then, you will all die.’ She starts laughing, a laugh that is both insane and maniacal.

   Then, the ground starts to shake violently. The killers all look around them surprised, yelling and cursing heavily, as the ground starts to shake so violently, that cracks start to appear all around the white scenery, just as it did the very first time they attempted to enter your mind. This time though, the cracks are in the color of a very deep blue, and move faster that the ones in the start. The killers braced themselves for whatever was about to come their way. Because they knew what was going on. They were entering the second veil. Personality.

 To their ultimate surprise, they found themselves on a beautiful valley inside the woods.

  The sun was burning brightly above them, lighting the place with its strong, life-giving beams, falling gracefully on their skin, allowing its warm touch to envelope the killers who stood right in the middle of the large field and looked around them as if they were lost. The sky was absolutely clear, without a single cloud threatening the serene atmosphere with its promises of rain, allowing the sky to glow above them blue and vast, full of wonders. All around them, the beams were enlightening the place majestically. The tall wheat had a rich, gold tint on it revealing that summer was slowly starting to reach its end, waving lazily on the faint breeze that was the only source of a breath of cold air for the killers, who were not used to such illuminated places. Still, you couldn’t disagree that the whole place was serene.

  In the distance you could easily spot a vast mountain, while all around the field of wheat, the tall pine trees gave you a feeling of mystery, since not even the bright sun was capable of reaching down the ground among them and dissolve the shadows that crept their way on the field, but where forbidden from entering any further. And among the tall pine trees on their left, there was a small cottage placed in the middle of the forest, a few inches before officially entering the lighted meadow. It was small and simple, with only a small garden to decorate it, full of black roses, which kind of gave off a strange feeling, since they didn’t seem to blend in with their surroundings.

  The door of the small cottage opened, and a middle aged woman, barely around 38 years of age came out, wiping her hands messily in the apron she wore around her waist. She had a very sweet face but her eyes still seemed tired, as if she had a few days to sleep well.

  ‘______! Cady! Time for lunch girls!’ she yelled loudly, her voice echoing around the meadow.

 ‘We are coming mommy!’ a small voice answered and a little (h/c) girl popped out of nowhere among the tall wheat, with a homemade crown of flowers around her head, almost unnoticeable as the tall plants almost hid her completely ‘We made flower crowns mommy! Look!’ she yelled loudly.

 ‘Cady not so fast, you might trip.’ A soft, girly voice sounded from right behind the little girl.

  As EJ’s and Jeff’s stare fell on the other girl that was rushing behind the little girl, they couldn’t help but feel their un-beating hearts drop inside their chests. EJ’s mouth half opened in awe under his navy-blue mask, while Jeff clenched his jaw firmly, with his brain unable to take in the information that he was presented.

 There was a girl running behind the little girl, trying to reach the little kiddo that seemed to be running with all her might. The second girl was probably around fifteen years old, with (h/l) (h/c) hair that gracefully surrounded her beautiful face that was just now transitioning into the face of an adult, and was still holding onto some of her childish characteristics. Her skin was (s/c) and was fitting rather well with her full/thin lips and bright, full of kindness (e/c) eyes. She smiled brightly as she caught up with the little girl, taking her hand in hers, a smile that all the killers had never seen in her before. Because right in front of them, was ______ standing. But not the you they knew from the past, no, this must have been your human form, before they met you and before you were turned into the girl you are now.

  You were wearing a simple white dress that barely reached your knees along with a wreath on your head, made out of lilies of the valley.

 ‘Cady, it’s your birthday in two days. What do you want me to get you honey?’ you asked, picking the little girl in your arms.

  Cady thought about it for a little while, her eyebrows furrowing over her adorable face, before her eyes lit up ‘I want big sister to love me forever! Then I’ll be happy forever!’ 

 ‘Well Cady, I already love you. No matter how many years pass, I’ll always love you.’ you say and give her a tender kiss in her forehead.

  But then, your eyes fall on EJ and Jeff. The two of them are immediately shocked, since they believed that you couldn’t see them, since this was a past memory. You turn towards them, with Cady still on your hands, as you walk up to them, your figure passing right through a surprised Toby, only to stand right in front of the two other killers. But instead of looking at them, your gaze falls on their feet, where some flowers stood.

  You smile at the little girl ‘Look Cady, these are resurrection lilies. Aren’t they beautiful?’ you ask, pointing at the pink flowers and leaning down, you cut some of them, handing them over to the little girl, with a big smile on your face.

 The little girl takes them in her hands, sticking her little nose in them sniffing, before she smiles to you and passes them on your wreath ‘Here _____!’ she says as you help her place them, under the constant stare of the two boys.

  ‘How do I look?’ you ask.

 ‘Beautiful.’ Jeff thinks.

 ‘Breathtaking.’ Ej automatically responds.

‘You are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!’ the little girl exclaims, waving her hands in the air ‘I love you ____.’

And everything around the killers vanishes suddenly. The valley, the wheat, the house, Cady, you. It all vanishes out of thin air, making them wonder what was going to happen next and for a split second they remain inside the complete darkness, before another image flashes around them. This time, they find themselves into the kitchen of the Mansion.

  Sitting on the marble counter is you, with your appearance completely altered to that which you normally had, with your bright orange eyes and the scars that adorned your beautiful face. EJ is also surprised to see that his own self is sitting right next to you, pushing a plate with a freshly acquired kidney towards you, as you look at it trying to decide if this was a good idea or not. EJ smiled to himself. He remembered this one.

 ‘Are you sure I can eat it EJ? I mean, I haven’t tried before…’ you sounded hesitant.

  ‘It’s just a thought that came to me. You can try and if you don’t like it, it’s okay.’ If only you knew that he was smiling at you.

You swallowed hard ‘Okay, if you say so. But don’t be mad if I don’t like it!’

 ‘I won’t be mad, I promise.’

  You take the kidney in your hand, eyeing it with your face full of worry, before you let out a small sigh and bring it to your mouth. Quickly, before you give yourself more time to think, you take a small bite out of it. You chew fast, but the reaction is immediate. The kidney falls back on the plate, while you eject yourself to the sink, spitting out the kidney bite loudly.

  ‘At least I tried.’ EJ laughs.

‘Yeah, at least you did.’ You say, still disgusted.

  And the scenery around them changed once again. This time, they found themselves into a half broken down kitchen, inside a once cozy house. There were two bodies lying lifeless on the hallway, one female which was pretty beaten up, one male who’s neck was lying open to the bone, while right where the kitchen was, the table was broken down and right on it, you laid there, your face carved and bloodied and the rest of your human body all beaten up severely, making Jeff and EJ, as well as Toby, to clench their fists hard around their weapons. Five men were standing all around you, walking up to you threatenly, while you were completely unable to defend yourself and so you just laid there, looking at them coming towards you, weapons at hand.

‘ No!!! Stop hitting MY SISTER!’ a voice said and the little girl that they recognized as Cady, stood right in front of you, raising her hands to stop them, with a fearless gaze on her small face, determined to protect you with all she had.
 
  ‘Ca…dy…..no!...’ you tried to stop her, your voice barely above a whisper, as you choked up a good amount of blood.
 
The five men laughed hard ‘Whose that?’
 
‘Her little sister.’
 
‘She’s trying to protect her. Hahahaha.’
 
‘What a little piece of sh!t.’ one of them said and took some steps towards the small kid, who didn’t even flinch as he approached.
 
 ‘Cady……RUN!!!’ you tried to warn her, raising your hand towards her, barely managing to keep it in place.
 
There was a sharp flash. The murderer’s hand had moved abnormally fast, but not so much as to go undetected by the supernatural killers that where watching the scene. Their emotions did fluctuate to many extends as they saw a large gash appear on the little girl’s face, before she fell on the floor lifeless, but they agreed in one thing; murdering these men on spot. 

‘CADY!!!’ you screamed with all the power you had left. Slowly, your eyes rolled over on your skull and your hand fell down on the floor lifelessly.

  And the scenery changed once again. This time, they found themselves in their casual living room, which was now empty. Or close to empty.

  Jeff saw his own self, sitting on his usual chair, looking outside the window to the snowy weather, paying no attention to Smile who tried desperately to get his attention. His unblinking gaze was lost inside the forest that spread over the backyard, with his mind wandering in thoughts that were better off left untouched.

  You walked inside the living room, with your soft and comfortable slippers muffling the sound of your footsteps, as your gaze fell on Jeff who was sitting on his armchair as usual, seeming gloomier than before. Sighing, a sound ever-so-faint, you walk up to him, with two cups of hot coco in your hands.

  Sitting on the arm of the chair, you offer the black mug to the smiling killer, who doesn’t even acknowledged your presence.

 ‘Here you go Jeff. It’s just as you like it, with extra sugar. I think you need it.’ You grace him with a soft smile.

  ‘And what the f*ck gives you the d@mn idea that I need it?’ he growls, still not looking at you.

 ‘Because, it’s the best remedy for a night full of nightmares.’ You whisper lightly, trying to get on his good side. 
                                                                                                
  ‘Who told you I had nightmares?’ 

You let out a sigh ‘No one told me Jeff, I heard you screaming in your sleep last night. But don’t worry, I’m not going to tell anyone. Promise me that sometime, you’ll tell me who Liu is okay?’

  He takes the mug and murmurs lightly ‘I’ll tell you someti-’

~AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!~ a piercing scream reverberated on the memory, making the three teenagers jump by surprise and look around them frantically. It was your own voice, more pained and desperate than they had ever heard it. It triggered their insanity and brought them on the edge.

  ~Where the h3ll is she?!~ Jeff screamed, looking around him.

~Who hurt her? We must find her! Now!~ EJ was already looking for a way out.

 ~Calm down children, contain your emotions and we shall see what is happening.~ Slenderman advised them all.

~AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!~
