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

Chapter 14 Behind The Surface

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26

   After the incident with Ben hiding inside the bathroom, you were surprised to find out that his videogames were confiscated for the rest of the week and Slenderman himself made him come and apologize to you for his rude behavior. The reality was, that you weren’t in particular mad at him, you found it rather clever that he hid inside the radio. Still, in the process of EJ trying to make Ben come out of it, something inside of the radio broke, so to make it up to you, he offered to repair it and truthfully, he made it better than before. So you were again in rather good terms as always. After the relaxing bath, your mood seemed to improve radically and you were no longer your moody self. But that didn’t mean you weren’t planning on going after the first murderer. His scent had settled inside your heart and mind and you were sure you would be able to recognize it, even in a massive crowd of people. It was just a matter of time for you to chase him down and end him once and for all.

      Therefore, you were training daily, trying to get as good as possible in every aspect of fighting. Slenderman himself was training you for hours and hours each day, making you come through every possible case scenario and improve both your physical and mental abilities through them. Your evasive abilities were perfected in a short time period, making it almost too hard for even the faceless man to capture you in one of his tentacles. You were literally slipping away from his grasp with exceptional skill and every time he used more and more tentacles to raise the difficulty level for you.

    The same went for your enhanced senses as well. You were now able to defend yourself with only your hearing ability or even your sense of smell. Slenderman would often cut off many of your senses and train you to use them one at a time to defend yourself from the enemies. At first it was more difficult than it looked like, since you could pick up more things than necessary, but after a while, you were able to focus solely on one particular thing and shut down any other distractions. The Proxies also helped him in various cases. Still, there was only one thing that you couldn’t even begin to have and that was raw strength. No matter what you tried, your strength was almost zero and you have to rely greatly on techniques to make it through brawls. It was frustrating, but you couldn’t help it; even the demon inside you couldn’t be of any help. The result was that you had to avoid showdowns that required only strength.

     On the other hand, your secret examinations that EJ made you go through almost every day weren’t progressing as you would like. Both of you were puzzled that your heart seemed to start beating out of the blue and then stop again but no matter what you did nothing seemed to approach the issue. EJ put all his knowledge on the examinations. Cardiograph examinations, microbiological examinations, X-rays, EEG, hematology examinations, nothing seemed to explain your heart condition. As nothing made it start again. Throughout all these examinations, your heart was still and silent as every Creepypasta’s heart. You had begun to get frustrated whereas EJ was getting more and more into examining every little aspect. Though, it was a dead end and both of you knew it.

  ‘Maybe it was just our imagination.’ You finally breathed out one afternoon, while you swayed your legs back and forth, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed.

 ‘I would highly oppose that. It wasn’t just the two of us that heard the beating; it was also the cause of Rake’s attack. I just can’t figure it out yet.’ EJ said, while he pinned a small bottle with a needle and drained the liquid out.
