You look as EJ with bewildered eyes. Is he f*cking serious? You?! A human?!

  He keeps the demonic smile on, as he reaches with his scalpel and places it right where your heart is. Even if Hoodie’s warm shirt protects you, you somehow manage to feel the ice cold blade touching you.

 ‘Me? A human?! Don’t make me laugh.’ You say, trying to breathe as his steely grip has started to choke you.

 He just smiles widely, shark teeth shining in the bright light, as he raises his hand in the air, holding the scalpel strongly and preparing to stab you with it. This is the time when your instincts kick in. your mind slips into insanity once again, the monster inside your mind awakens and opens its bloody red eyes and immediately, your vision turns red. Your left arm moves and grabs EJ’s arm that holds you tightly, sinking your nails on his sleeve, tearing the fabric of the hoodie and reaching his arm underneath, as you loudly growl to him, earning an even bigger smile. It soon disappears. With your good leg, you kick him straight in the belly with your knee, putting all the strength you had.

  He falls back away from the impact, failing to maintain his and your weight at the same time, leading you both to fall back on the snow, with you landing on top of him. Both of you growl, but you are the first to collect her thoughts and pop up, making a run for it, towards the open space in front of you, whichever way you can, trying not to put too much weight on your pained leg.

    But as you run, you feel a hand slip around your ankle and grab you tight. You lose your footing and fall face-first on the ground. You turn and see EJ, still on the ground, smirking widely and insanely to you, as he starts pulling you towards him. You turn and try to stop him, sinking your fingers on the snow, trying desperately to stop the pull, but it is all in vain, and the moment he sees you trying, he lands his fist on your burnt leg.

  You scream loudly, tears falling from your eyes in pain, but anger blinds you. You release your grip and you let yourself be pulled, as you reach on your waist, grabbing one of the knives. Now that you are almost close to him, you turn and with a wild scream, stab his hand right in the middle of his palm. He screams and releases you, pulling his pained hand towards him and cuddling it, giving you the edge to stand up and run. This would slow him down for a little while. Or so you thought, when you felt a sharp pain on your good leg, immediately feeling your control over it to fail and you fall back to the ground.

  ‘I am not letting you run away!’ you hear him yell behind you as you turn to your back and pull your leg closer to you, screaming till your lungs limits. Your Achilles’ heel is slashed open, blood gashing out, cut wide open by none other than your own knife, that EJ skillfully threw against you.

‘I wonder.’ He said slowly, and through your tears, you see him walking towards you casually ‘How did you manage to fool even Slenderman, human?’

 He comes to a stop right beside you. You see a black shadow and blood comes out your mouth, as his kick finds you on the stomach, sending you flying on the tree opposite from him. Your back hits the tree trunk heavily, and you fall in the front, cursing loudly and with more blood coming out. You see him walking towards you again, slowly and menacingly, while your mind is blinded by the monster inside it that growls violently, making your body shake. EJ kneels in front of you. You feel his hand tangle inside your hair and he pulls your head up, at the same height where his eye sockets are, so that you can see inside his eyes, and he can do the same. Still, there is a black cloth in the way and you can’t clearly see his eyes. When he speaks, his voice is cold and full of curiosity.

  ‘The Achilles’ heel is the most vulnerable spot in human anatomy. Once cut, the human is unable to walk or run, leaving him terribly vulnerable against predators. It is quite easy to get eaten after that. On the contrary, Creepypasta anatomy allows the healing of the wound faster than that of humans’.’

You feel yourself being ejected forward with immense speed, as he throws you in the middle of the clearing, slamming hard against the snow, filling it with tones of blood as you once again cough up. The blue-masked killer walks up to you and turning you that you face upwards, sits on you, making you unable to move at all. You try to punch him in the, well, mask, with the empty expression that you think its mocking you right now, but he easily grabs your hands and pins them beside you, while he lowers his face, inches away from yours. You try to hit him with your head, but he grabs you firmly, and raising his mask a little bit more, revealing his nose, you feel him lean in on your hair, all the way down to your neck, sniffing slowly the odor of your skin.

  Your mind and the beast inside of it go completely numb, as your eyes open wide with surprise.

  ‘Your scent is so sweet…’ he purrs slowly, his breath falling on your skin softly ‘I will enjoy eating your organs. Maybe I should keep some of them. Maybe the lungs..or the heart.’

 You gulp without controlling it, chills going up and down your spine and….Ba-dump, Ba-dump, Ba-dump.

You feel his razor-sharp teeth graze your skin, as he smiles menacingly ‘There is the little heart.’ He pulls himself away, while still sitting on you and he lowers his mask again, only to cover his nose ‘’Let’s see now, little human.’

  He pulls the edge of your hoodie, placing the scalpel on the verge. You hear a sharp tearing sound, and the shirt is cut in two, revealing your white tank-top and exposing your skin to the cold air. But with that movement, your fear is once again vanquished and the insanity steps forward. You grab a nice handful of snow and throw it exactly on his eyes. An exclamation of surprise leaves his lips, soon followed by the powerful push you give him with your hands, sending him five meters away, slamming on the cold snow. A menacing growl leaves your lips this time, as you stand on your burnt leg, completely ignoring the pain it gave you and charge with a jump against EJ. He barely manages to wipe away the snow, before you land on him, grabbing him by the waist and throwing the two of you on the ground, with you smashing on top of him. Just like when you were at the clearing the first time you two met, you trap his hands under your legs, freeing your hands completely.

  You raise your left arm and punch him straight in the face.

He swears and a coughing sound is heard, as blood comes out of his mouth, but this doesn’t stop you. You hit him again and again and again, with a victorious cry coming out of your mouth every single time your fist comes in contact with his mask. But you don’t limit yourself in just his face. You hit him everywhere within your reach; his body reacting strongly with every hit and his growls become even louder, his clothes getting dirtied by all the blood that comes out of your wounds. Still, you are in a maniacal frenzy, hitting him with all you’ve got and with the beast inside of you feeling more content with every hit. At some point and as he growls in pain, you take out your knife and make a deep wound on his neck. Blood immediately comes out and you lean in immediately, sipping the luxurious red liquid, before the wound closes. The moment it goes down your throat, you feel its warmth spread throughout your body, electrifying your very core and healing your wounds, at least to some extent. It is shiny red, it is warm despite coming out of a cold body and it sets your whole body on fire. EJ yells loudly as you bite more and more onto his skin and begins to twist and turn; trying to get you off of him, but the only thing he manages is to annoy you even more.

  You back away as soon as the wound closes, only to find him still turning.

‘Shhhhhh.’ You place your bloodied hand on your mouth ‘I’ll tell you a story now.’ You smile threatenly to him.

  He somehow manages at that moment you reach for your slashed ankle and squeeze it. You shout out in pain and fall to your left, failing to hold him down. He turns and nails you once again to the ground. You smile cockily to him, while you bend your waist and tangle your legs around his neck, tackling him to the ground, giving you the edge to stand up.

 ‘You know what I enjoyed most as a human?’ you ask him, as you stand up and punch him on the stomach once again ‘I enjoyed the fact that my father choked on his own blood.’ You say, the monster inside of you finally taking control over you. You place your hands around your waist and laugh manically, a crazy, unstable laugh that reveals the extend of your insanity, sending shivers even down EJs’ spine ‘You should have seen it! Hahahahaha! What a splendid sound! Hahahaha!’ you move your finger on your neck, making it look like you slice it ‘It pained the f*cking walls! He drowned in his own blood! Hahahahahaha! Delicious blood!!’

 With another jump, you tackle EJ once again, shoving him down face-first on the snow. You pull his hoodie down and grabbing his messy chocolate brown hair, you shove his face inside the snow, laughing.

  ‘There is no greater glory in life, than seeing your own mother get beaten to death! Right EJ?’ you say as you stand up once again, allowing him to growl and try to raise himself.

 You grab your crutch that was left some inches away and putting it on your slashed leg, you start walking in circles, observing the now beaten up EJ, trying to raise himself from the ground, stumbling clumsily. You knew his senses had blurred a bit from all the beating up, as you knew where you hit him as you hit him.

 ‘I SAW MY OWN SISTER GETTING SLASHED OPEN EJ! THERE WAS NO MORE FUN THAN SEEING HER SOULESS BODY HIT THE GROUND AND HER BLOOD SPLASHING ON MY F*CKING DAMN FACE!!!’ you scream and grabbing the crutch, you hit him with all your power in the face, making him fall back down.

  You insanity and bloodlust are overwhelming you. The monster is now permanent on your mind and you accept it as a long-awaited friend, as you feel the little pieces of your conscience fall inside the black lake of your mind and disappear completely. Numbness is spreading throughout your whole body. Violent sobs are making your whole body shake uncontrollably, as you walk towards EJ, who is now holding his head, while looking at you. Insanity and bloodlust has overwhelmed you, to the point where you can’t recognize where the one stops and the other begins. And along with them rests another emotion. An emotion you didn’t know you had up until now. Sadness. Pure and strong sadness. It makes itself noticeable just now, as large, cold tears go down your face, tracing the slashes the murderer of your family gave you for a friendly reminder. Still, despite the fact that you are crying, your whole body shakes uncontrollably by the loud laughter that comes out of your mouth.

‘Hahahahahahahahahaha, I have hahahaha, no clue why my heart is still beating! Hahahahahahaha!’ you laugh as you sit down in front of him, playing with your knife with your good hand.

 ‘It should have stopped a month ago! Hahahahahahaha! Or at least I wished it to! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!’

EJ watches you silently as you have your insanity breakdown, sitting across from you, still holding his pained sides. He has grown quite quiet, something that you don’t notice, but means that he is deep in thought. He watches you closely, measuring all your movements and filing all your words. His previous anger has seized for the moment, sending his insanity to the back of his head, as he watches the crazy girl mumble and laugh maniacally in front of him, taking in the information. His instincts and supreme senses didn’t fool him. Her heart gave out a few beats, but was now silent. Did he make a mistake? No, that would be impossible. Then just who exactly is this girl.

  ‘You once asked me my dear EJ, how did I turn! Hahahahahaha. Well, after I lead the murderers of my family to my house, the attacked and killed them all!!!! Ahahahahahahaha! Ah, they cut them open and allowed me to watch their amazing piece of art! How lucky I was! Hahahahahaha!’

  You continue to laugh, your body rocking back and forth, as you have tucked your legs under you and holding them, you rock yourself. You barely have the image of EJ in front of you, as your mind and insanity allow you to relive the night your life came crumbling down.

  ‘They killed them all! They even tried to kill me! But no, nononononononononono, it didn’t work.’ You suddenly pouted ‘The monster was there, right inside my mind EJ!’ you place your finger on the side of your head ‘It asked me ‘Do you wanna die?’ and I said ‘No!’ so it brought me back! Hahahahahaha.’

 ‘What happened next _____? What did you do?’ the man in front of you asks cautiously, and you almost heard him.

    You smile insanely ‘I got up! Just like that! Hahahahaha! But boy was I angry! My precious little sister was dead! DEAD!’ the laughter freezes on your face, as the numbness spreads even there. Under his mask EJ is looking at you closely as you look down with teary eyes.
  ‘…..I chased them down….I chased the f*ckers with all the strength the monster gave me…but they got away….’

  A sob races through your body.

‘I tried EJ….. I tried to kill myself…… In fact I tried thirty seven times…. I fell in front of a bus…I jumped off a cliff….I sliced my stomach open….nothing worked…when the monster told me what I wanted, I never thought I would be unable to die at all…No matter what I tried..it always fixed me up.’

 Suddenly, before EJ had even the chance to think, you grab your knife and slice your throat open. Blood gashes out immediately and EJ ejects himself forward to help you stop the bleeding, helping you lay down on the snow, as you laugh your heart out. But it’s a dark, painful laughter. Your blood paints the snow underneath you, as you place your hand on EJ emotionless and eternally crying mask.

 ‘Don’t worry EJ; It will heal.’ You say as the blue-masked killer tries to stop the bleeding, tearing his sleeve and placing it against the wound.

You take his hand in yours and gently place it on your heart. The cold-bloodied killer stops on his tracks when you smile gently to him, your consciousness starting to fade.

 ‘Please….please EJ….kill me please…’ you smile to him.

  You head tilts to the right and you pass out.

There was no pulse! There was no f*cking pulse!

  EJ’s anger and thoughts were messing with his mind, making him unable to think straight as he raced among the trees. Your sleeping form was safely tucked in his arms, the cut sleeve carefully wrapped around your neck, holding your neck together. You had sliced it quite deeply, almost reaching your larynx. Luckily, it wasn’t damaged and you were able to breathe somewhat normally. EJ made sure all your wounds where tightly wrapped in a hand-made bandage, made from your sliced open hoodie.

   EJ swore lightly as he thought that he had to buy a new one for Hoodie now, and he would probably not hear the end of it from Masky, but _____’s safety was first. Why? Why, was he blinded by a heartbeat of a mere second?! It was just a heartbeat! Swearing again, he kept thinking about it.

  He had almost two weeks to hunt down properly and his stack of organs was running low. He was starving, as he didn’t find any good victim after his hunt today. The heavy, luxuriously deep beating of _____s’ heart was like an alluring music to his ears, making him lose it. But this was dangerous. The traumatized girl was sleeping quietly now, but her life was indeed in high risk. She was running dangerously low on blood.

   The way she had looked at him. The pained smile and large tears that stained those big orange eyes with the black sclera would be more than enough to make his cold heart beat again. She had begged him to kill her. She had begged for death.

No!

 He wouldn’t let death take over those lively orange orbs even if he had to put his life on the line. He would make it up for her, no matter what. Otherwise, he would be able to live with such sin.

  The door creaked and flung open as EJ violently kicked her with all his might. Many of the Creepypasta that were sitting on the living room immediately jumped up to the impending danger, only to see EJ storm inside, an unconscious and bloodied _____ on his hands.

 ‘________!’ Sally screamed and ran towards EJ.

 ‘What the hell happened EJ?! Who attacked you?!’ Ben jumped over the sofa and rushed to EJ, as he was now walking towards the back of the house.

Along the way, Hoodie and Masky popped from a corner and a more ticky-ish Toby ran to them.

 ‘Why is _____ beaten up?’ he asked in the sight on you.

‘I’m taking her to my lab right now.’ The blue masked man threw over his shoulder.

‘Is she dying EJ?!’

‘Even if I have to freeze hell itself, this girl is not dying no matter what! I swear my life on it!’
