I didn't quite understand Jeffs plan as he told me the entire walk back to the mansion. By this time, we were already in the forest.
He basically wanted to pretend that I was a new victim he had caught and brought back to torture. The blood on my overalls acting as proof of capture.
"Jeff I doubt Slender and anyone else left at the mansion is going to believe that. You're more of a.. kill on sight.. type of person."
Jeff grunts, kicking a rock that lay in the dirt as he sighs, leaning back against a tree.
"Besides, even if they do believe you, the moment they find out its me, they'll kill me.. AND you for that matter.."
I didn't want to bad mouth Jeffs plan too much but I did have valid points. He needed to think about this carefully. This is going to be harder than the hospital. They were just everyday people, these are experienced killers..
"They want to kill me anyway so what does that matter?"
Jeff chuckles lowly with a sigh as he leans his head back, pushing it against the tree.
"What do you mean? Why do they want to kill you?.. Jeff, what did you do?.."
I knew they weren't happy about Jeff because of me, but why would they want to kill him?
Jeff just huffs, standing away from the tree, scratching the back of his head as he slowly paces.
"I Uh. I killed EJ-"
"WHAT?! Jeff! Why did you!-"
"Because he was going to let the Rake kill you!"
I didn't know what to say. He killed one of his closest friends, just to try and help me, try and save me..
"I'm sorry Jeff.. I knew EJ was your friend and-"
"Pfft. He's no fucking friend of mine. I don't need friends. Friends are just pathetic excuses for people who don't want to be alone."
He grunts, pulling out his knife and smoothing the blade. His fingers smudging the blood that was not yet dry.
"Oh.. I see.."
I lower my head. If he doesn't need friends, what does that make me? Just some doll he uses when he wants? I'm such a fool..
"What's wrong?"
He asks in a somewhat, uncaring, matter. I just shake my head with a sigh.
"Nothing.."
"Hey, I didn't mean that about you. You know that right?"
I slowly lift my head to see Jeff glancing at me from the side. Despite still feeling a little sad, I couldn't stop a smile forming when looking at him. He was so harsh yet always knew how to make up for it.
Although, I hadn't noticed Jeff was also covered in blood from killing the receptionist. I couldn't help but chuckle as I try and wipe away some of the blood on his face. But, as I reach up to him, he flinches away at my touch, causing my to gasp, smudging the blood at his movement. He just sighs and looks away.
He was so hard to understand.. he'd happily kiss me and let my hold his face in my hands, but won't let me touch him to try and help him.. oh Jeff..
He coughs awkwardly, rolling his shoulders before giving a questioning expression as he looked me up and down.
"Hmm.. needs to be more...convincing.."
He approaches me with his knife, slashing it across my arm. I couldn't help but scream out in pain, pulling my arm up, holding it to my chest. Pressing down on the wound to stop the bleeding.
"What the hell Jeff!"
I snap angrily. Hissing in pain as I press down on my arm.
"I thought you couldn't feel pain? When we first met, you-"
"Well I can now! Thanks to Candy and his little magic trick of making me look like someone else! I'm lucky to still have my ability.. if I had lost that too.."
I don't even finish my sentence. I just sigh, closing my eyes, lowering my head. I hated my ability for so long. But now I've grown to love it so much that, if I no longer had it.. I wouldn't be me..
"Sorry.. [Name]."
My eyes slam open as I lift my head to look at him. His apology caught me by surprise. I couldn't stay mad at him, it just feels so wrong.
"I.. I forgive you.. but that doesn't mean I'm not getting you back later! You better watch it!"
He chuckles humorously before taking a deep breath, holding up his knife. Giving a serious and determined expression by which I found extremely attractive. Having to try and shake my head a little to stay focused.
"So, you ready?"

 "So, you ready?"
