Sarah's POV

the cold black tar oozes from my eye sockets, I've looked over my life countless times yet never get more than a glimpse in my own body. Whenever I wake up for that second of life, I see jack only he looks different. He doesn't have his mask on, his skin seems to be a darker gray than usual, and sometimes his face is streaked with human tears. Those short moments are what keep me hopeful. Without them I would have given up long ago. "Sarah?" I turn to meet Ben's eyes, he's at the end of his wall. "Tell jack I love him." I say just before he fades leaving me alone in my own personal hell.
Ben's POV

My eyes fly open. Sarah's words still eco in my ears. I climb out of my bed and run down the hall. Just as I assumed, Sarah's body is laying on her bed and Jack is maskless beside her. "She said she loves you." Jack turns to face me. Holy shit no wonder he wears a mask, he's fuckin hideous! His skin is dark gray and horribly shaped. He's worse than Jeff. I try to hide my cringe before leaving the room. I run back to my room and grab my knife before leaving to hunt. I've been dead for 528 years.

Sarah's POV

I need to get out of here, every time I see jack he looks worse. I watch my life unfold yet again for those short moments of life. Just as I reach my death, I'm determined to hold on this time, I will not let my life slip away again. I watch the knife impale me and feel the tug as I'm pulled back to life. I see jack as usual above me. Using all my strength, I struggle to inhale oxygen. I make a soft squeaking sound as it runs down my dry throat. Jack's eye sockets widen I'm shock. I feel his hand join with mine and squeeze lightly. I manage to make my stiff muscles from a smile. "Welcome back. Sure took your time." Jack says with a chuckle. "H-How long?" My throat feels like sandpaper. "1263 years 72 days 16 minutes." He says with a sad smile. I begin to feel warm tears falling down my face, all this time he's been with me. Every day he's stayed by my side. Jack gently brushes away a tear before pressing a soft kiss to my lips. I've missed him and his kiss is even better than I remembered. The moment is ruined when I'm snatched from jack into Ben's crushing hug. He dramatically lifts me off my feet and spins me in circles before setting me back down. I watch as the room around me continues to spin and fall onto the bed. Ben and Jack both laugh at my dizzy haze.
