My body felt limp and heavy, I couldn't do anything but slump on the floor.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Jack asked.
"Do I look like i'm alright?!" I shot back. Obviously i'm NOT alright! I can't even feel my legs, they're friggin' numb.
"Sorry, you know, the reincarnation takes a lot of energy, it might even kill you."
"What the fuck?! I didn't have this in my planner at home!" I said exasperatedly, but the bastard just chuckled. The hell?!
"Calm down woman! You're funny though.."
"Ha. Ha. Right, but if you'll please help me stand, I still have classes to attend." I said sarcastically which earned a scoff from him.
"Class? Who takes that shit?"
"Then why are you here? It's a school for goodness sake!"
"School is cool when you have money, but right now i'm broke so it sucks. C'mon, let's go home."
"Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean 'let's go home'? I still have a quiz!"
"You can't stand, that'll be enough as an excuse." he said.
"I'm not leaving school!" I countered back.
"Yes you will." he said then carried me upside down.
"Let me down!"
Oh my god! My butt is sticking mid-air and probably up to his chest level. Can this be even more embarrassing? He kicked the locker room open and a bright light showered upon us. Too bright it hurts.
"Just be a good girl and stop screaming." he hissed.
"Let me down! Let me down! Help!"
"Oh for devil's sake! You're ruining my ear!"
"The hell I care! Let me down!" I screamed which echoed in the hallways.
"Fine." he dropped me in the floor like a sack of potatoes. Damn, that hurts.
"What do you think did you just do?!"
"You said to let you down." he shrugged.
"Not that way! I can't believe you!" I tried to stand on my own, but my knees felt really weak, I slumped back in to the floor.
"See? Just ... let me carry you."
He carried me properly this time and we are coated by an awkward silence. Should I talk to him, or clear my throat? I mean, i'm not a very talkative person but I hate these awkward silence. He cleared his throat.
"So what's your full name?" he asked.
"I shouldn't tell that to a stranger, should I?" I said and he just laughed. A throaty laugh.
"Fine. I'm Laughing Jack. The truth is, Jeff, Eyeless Jack, those three idiots, we're a gang. Slendy is our boss. Weird right?"
"Does that mean, you kill too?"
"Pretty much."
Great, just great. I'm surrounded with physcho killers and I don't even know how the hell I got myself involved in this shit.
"You're involved because Marionette is inside of you." My eyes widened like a Frisbee.
"How do you-"
"In case you're wondering how can I read your thoughts, simple, I just do." he said.
"Wow, terrific explanation." I said sarcastically.
"Enough about me. Full name, remember?"
"Right. I'm Raine el Nikk, just transferred here, and immediately surrounded with killer idiots and was told that I am a vessel of another killer woman, and already fed up with life. That totally summed up my life." I said with a dull expression.
"And you already killed a person, haven't you?"
"What- . . yes." I sighed as the memories of that day flooded back like waves.
"You know what, let's not talk about that. What's your hobbies?" I said changing the topic.
"Eat candies, kill people, sleep, and shop for clothes. You?"
"Sleep, read a book, eat, cook, play online and video games, and collect pebbles."
"You collect pebbles?" he said looking at me.
"Yeah! I have a lot of them at home. Collecting pebbles helps me gather my thoughts about something, and well, I really love those little rocks."
"..pretty much like Kata...."
"What did you say? I didn't quite catched it."
"Don't worry I didn't throw it." he said.
"Shut up." he just laughed.
