A Gruesome Romance (A Jeff The Killer love story)

Chapter 11: Who?

Authors Note: LMAO I LOGGED INTO THIS ACC AFTER LIKE 6 YEARS HAHA. I'm 19 currently and thought it would be super funny to finish this little story. I know the past chapters are filled with errors but maybe this time I can make the story a bit better with my new and improved grammar/vocabulary!!!  (I dont really think people would be reading this but if you are, welcome!)

Back to Katherine's POV:

     I asked everyone at the mansion. No one seems to know where Jeff went. I guess I shouldn't be so worried. I mean he IS a killer after all, yet something still lingers in the back of my mind. Who was that woman? How does she know Jeff?

    I decide to walk around the estate. Ive been hauled up inside and haven't really explored. This is the first time I've been by myself here since the past 4 weeks. Normally I would be absolutely terrified of my kidnappers. I hold my childhood trauma responsible for that though. I grew up in a small house with a mother and father. I can't recall a single pleasant memory from the age of 5 to 12. You see, my father wasn't a nice man. I don't know why and I never asked, but he was an abusive-alcoholic who stayed home a majority of the time while my mother went to work leaving me with him. The living room was riddled with empty cans of alchohol; Coors, Budweiser, Corona, you name it. 

    Though I can't recall much, I remember the fear I had with him like it was just yesterday. He would get angry with me if I didn't bring him his beer fast enough. By 'angry' I mean he would pull me up from my hair and slam me to the ground. When he didn't want to deal with me, I was subjected to a dark room at the end of the hall. It was locked from the outside. I had to comfort myself in the dark room alone. I was a kid. I didn't know what I could have done to make him punish me, but I knew it was my fault. Eventually when my mom came home from work she'd let me out. 

    When not at school I stayed home because I wasn't allowed to go anywhere else. My mom made sure to treat my bruises. She didn't really put a stop to his abuse but she was just as scared as I was. I don't blame her. He hit her too. But I think after so many years she just couldn't take it anymore. We packed our things during the day when he was out, and long gone by the time he came back. We didn't leave a note, we had nothing to say. I forgot about my own mother. She must be so worried! I have to call her and tell her that Im okay.

    I suddenly stop walking and look up. How long was I in my brain for? So many things were happening all at once, I guess I just needed time to process them. I look around me. I was met with a willow tree. It seems ancient. The roots made their way to the surface and the branches hung so low I could almost touch them. It had to be taller than Slendy. I walk up to the trunk and trace my fingers over the bark. There appears to be some scratches etched into the wood. I try to dust off the webs and dirt. The scratches are deeply carved and I could almost make out the words. "Jeff and J___" I can't make out the rest. I look up towards the sky. It's getting dark I should head back. 

    I walk into the mansion and brace myself for the onslaught of yelling and screaming from BEN and Sally. It's quiet, too quiet. No one's here. "Hello?" I yell. No response. I walk towards the living room and sit on the chaise lounge. "We don't know that!"I turn my head. That sounded like Jack. I focus on the voice to follow it. "It's been too long, this isn't right". The voices grow louder as I head toward the basement. I creep my head out into the doorway. Jack, Sally, Ben, Slendy, everyone is gathered around a table. "You know how he is, this isn't new" BEN insists. "This is DIFFERENT I know it is!" Jack hisses. After holding my postion for so long my muscles give up and I stumble into the room. "KATHERINE!!" everyone practically screams. "Hey guys I was looking for you" I rub the back of my head in response. "We were looking for YOU, where have you been?!" says Jack. 

    I explained my little journey and everyone takes a sigh of relief. I notice that someone is missing from the group. "Is Jeff not back yet?" I question. "...We don't know where he is..." BEN whispers. "He went out to meet his death quota for the week. He should've been back by now though" Jack explains to me. Have you seen him at all today Katherine? The booming voice in my brain startles me at first but Im reminded that this is how Slendy communicates. "No I haven't seen him since yesterday. I thought you guys would know!" On instinct I start twiddling my thumbs. I feel nervous. "Have you seen anything strange while you were out?" Toby asks. I think for a moment. I remember what that Jane woman told me. "I met a woman. She told me to tell Jeff to 'be prepared' or something like that." The room is quiet. "..A woman?..What did she look like?.." Jack hesitates. I stop to think. "Uhh well she looked alot like Jeff. Long black hair, petite, pretty-looking. She was carrying some sort of knife. She said she knew who I was and then she just...left." Slendy stops moving suddenly. "Oh fuck...it's Jane.." Jack whispers. "Yeah! THATS what her name was!" I yell. What else did she say to you? asks Slendy. The group seems panicked. "Nothing, she didn't say anything else. She left right after, but what's going on?"Jack takes a deep breath before stepping forward, "Her name is Jane the killer...she's...she's Jeff's ex-girlfriend.." he says. Im so surprised. I can barely get a word in. I only manage to say one thing, "Who?".
