It was hard to keep up with this man running. I kept almost tripping. He was so fast he was practically dragging me down the hallways. It seemed like he knew where he was going. We practically slid to a stop once we got to a door. Opened it and pushed me in and slammed the door behind him. I looked around and saw we were in a stairwell.
"Follow me." He demanded and hurried down the stairs. I quickly followed him.
I heard the door open up the stairwell and heavy footsteps stomping down the stairs behind me. I fasten my pace and reach the bottom where I trip.
The pale man scoops me up, carrying me bridal style. He pushes us through the heavy doors that lead us to the mall parking lot.
He bolts to a black Camero and pushes me inside and hurries to the front seat and before I know it we hit the road, speeding down the street.
I breathe heavily and look around the car wide-eyed, wondering what the fuck was going on. The man stayed silent and watched the road.
My phone rings again and I pull it out of my bag. I look at the screen to see my aunt is calling. I don't know if I should answer it or not. I don't even know what to say to her. I don't even know what going on right now.
"Answer it" the man demanded in a calm tone.
"Okay," I say quietly"Hello, Chloe?" My aunt speaks
"Yes, hello can you hear me?"
"I can. I'm sorry I can't come to get you, I've been held back at the office so I won't be home till late.. Were you able to find a ride?" She asks.
"Uh, yeah I found a ride," I answered nervously as I looked around the car again.
"Are you okay Chloe? You sound worried." She questioned me
I don't know if I should tell her what's going on or not. I pause and look at the black-haired man driving. He turns his head and nods yes.
"Uh, yes everything is okay, We ate at the food court and I'm feeling like I'm going to be sick," I explain to her
"Aww, Well get home and take some medicine and rest. I hope you feel better. I've got to go, I have a meeting. I'll see you later honey. I love you!""I love you too, thank you."
She ended the call.Suddenly the car comes to the stop and I realize I recognize my surroundings. We were parked across the street from my house.
The man gets out of the car and walks around to the passenger side door and opens it.
"Let's go." He says as he grabs my bag and walks away. I step out of the car and shut the door and follow him up to my house. He reaches into my bag and pulls out my keys and unlocks the front door and lets himself in. I follow and lock the door behind me and shut all the curtains.
Behind me I hear the cupboard doors in the kitchen opening and closing.
"Do you guys have anything good to eat?" He calls
I walk to the kitchen and just look at him.
"What is happening?!?" I ask as I throw a bag of chips at him hitting him in the face.
"Hey! Thanks!" He exclaimed as he bent over and picked up the bag of chips
Who is this man?!? He just comes into my house and looks for food and he won't tell me what's going on.
"Now tell me who you are!" I demand!
He casually walks past me, into the living room sits on the couch and turns on the TV.
I reach for the remote and turn it off.
"Hey! I was watching that!" He complains
"I won't turn it back on until you tell me who you are!" I yell at him
"Whoa whoa, calm down princess, that's not how you speak to the person who just saved you." He looks me dead in the eye and puts on a charismatic smile.
"Please just tell me who you are." I insisted.
He pats the cushion next to him telling me to sit down.
I sigh and roll my eyes and take a seat next to him.
He puts his arm around my shoulder and turns the tv back on.
This is weird and I don't know what to do. So I just sit and watch the tv with him.
"I'm Jeff " he calmly states and continues to eat chips and watch TV.
I turn my head and question him. "Okay Jeff, why are you in my house eating my food and watching tv?"
"Because I'm tired from running and carrying you away from those damn cult Z ers." He reaches his hand in the chip back and throws one in his mouth, not breaking eye contact from the tv screen.
I abruptly stand up from my seat "so they are back?! They are coming to kill me" I pace back and forth panicking
"Relax, nothings going to happen to you here." Jeff finally breaks his gaze from the tv and now is seriously staring at me
"How do you know that?! They know where I live, where I go to school.... They want me dead!"
"Quit your spazzing, they won't come near here, you are safe" he looks me in the eye
"Yeah? And how do you know that?!" I question him.
He stands up from the couch and walks over to the window and pulls back the curtains.
"You see that?"
I gaze out the window. "The woods?"
"Yes. That's slender's woods. The Zers won't come here because it's under slenders protection."
I'm confused. Does he mean slender like slender man? I've heard legends of people wandering into the woods and never coming out and the ones who did escape were scarred for life. But those are just legends right??"You mean like slender man? The legend?"
"Yes, exactly" I replied and shut the curtain and sits back on the couch
I can't believe this! Is everything true then? Like eyeless jack? And Freddy Kruger and everything?!?? I'm freaking out.
"B-but they are just stories, legends that aren't real. They are just stories made to stop children from going in the woods right?" I question him sitting down and taking a deep breath.
"I mean I'm right in front of you aren't I?!" He looks me in the eyes and I just stare at him confused. Is he a legend too? Jeff? Jeff who???
His looks change from one of concern to one of confusion.
"You've heard of me right?" I slowly shake my head
"Umm no?"
"You've got to be kidding me! Jeff, Jeff the killer?" He stands up and motions his hands up and down his clothes.
I scan his body and think. Nothing comes to mind. I shake my head again and he puts a palm to his face and thinks. Then he just points to his face.
"You know jeff the one who killed his whole family? Go to sleep? Crazy with a smile carved on his face?? No eyelids?? You've never heard of any of this?!??" I ask in disbelief.
"Nothing is coming to mind jeff I'm sorry. " he sat back on the couch and huffed.
"Have you heard of eyeless jack?" He asks me and I feel a pang of fear strike my body.
"Oh yes he steals organs and eats them, and he has a blue mask! He's one of the reasons I don't go out at night or walk-in alleys." I explained.
Eyeless jack had been something that Justice and Jake had told me about a few years back. Justices cousin claimed to see him and has never been the same afterward.
"You've got to be kidding me. You know about Jacko but you have never heard about me?!? JEFF THE KILLER!" He seemed super agitated by this. I didn't know what to say. So I just stayed silent.
"I think I need some water. Do you want some water?" I asked him but he never replied. He just sat on the couch with a pissed look on his face.
I shrugged it off and started to head to the kitchen. The next thing I know I am pinned On the floor, with my wrists pinned down in one hand by jeff, the other holding a knife to my throat.
My heart is racing but in a different way, I'm not scared.
He whispers in my ear "you can remember this, I can kill you right now and no one would know"
I feel shivers run down my spine. I can't think of a reply
I say nothing and just stare at him. He stares back at me and I see a smirk begin to form on his face. He leans back down to my ear and whispers. "do you understand?"
I say nothing again. I don't know how I'm supposed to react to this. So I did the only thing I thought I could do in this situation. I raise my knee up and knee him right in the crotch.
Instantly Jeff rolled off me immediately and curled up in pain.
I get up. My heart still racing.
"I understand completely," I say with a smirk as I turn around and walk into the kitchen and grab a glass of water. I opened the freezer and grab a bag of frozen peas.I walk past jeff, who is still on the floor, and throw the bag at him and he surprisingly catches it from his curled up position.
He groans as he picks himself off the floor and throws the bag back at me. I duck and it goes over my head "You know it's not nice to knee the person who saved you in the balls!" He yells.
Jeff was definitely pissed.
"And it's not nice to threaten to kill people!" I yell back at him. He looked like he was going to yell something back but the sound of the lock turning in the front door silenced both of us.
Jeff grabs my wrist firmly and drags me up the stairs before anyone could enter the house.
