Please, Kill Me (Jeff the Killer x Reader)

Chapter 27 ✓

The golden morning light felt like a physical weight on my eyes. As the haze of sleep lifted, I found myself tangled in the sheets with Jeff, the warmth from the night before still radiating between us.

"Did you get enough sleep?" he asked, his voice low and unusually soft.

"Yes," I whispered, brushing a thumb over my cheek as I smiled up at him. "I haven't slept that well... since I was a child. How about you?"

He shook his head, his gaze never leaving mine. "I never sleep like you humans do, Y/N." He sat up, the muscles in his back tensing as he reached for his hoodie. He had already pulled on his pants, moving with a silent, feline grace. As he began to gather my things, his mouth moved, but suddenly, the world went cold. I can't hear him all of the sudden. The sound of his voice became a muffled hum, then vanished into a high-pitched ring. I clutched my ears, my heart hammering against my ribs.

A sudden confusing thoughs echoes in my mind..

Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here... and who is the man with the carved smile looking at me?

I think I am going insane, and this deafening sound keeps ringing in my ear until---

"Y/N! What's wrong?" The static cleared, by his touch on my shoulder. The deafenig ringing stops immediately and eerything vanished. The confusing thoughts, the echoing and the man's face sharpened back into the person I loved. "Jeff?"

Jeff? Right.. I am with Jeff.

"Yes? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He gripped my shoulders, his unblinking eyes wide with a frantic, protective panic. I took a shaky breath and forced a bitter smile.

"I'm fine... just a bit dizzy."

A rhythmic thudding at the door made me jump. "Breakfast is ready, lovebirds!" LJ's voice cackled from the hallway. I try to calm my mind and took a deep breath. I don't want to ruin this moment with him just because.. of this stupid---

"We'll be there," Jeff growled, his tone turning instantly defensive. I try to ignore what I thought and focused on Jeff. After the clown's footsteps faded, Jeff turned back to me, his brow furrowed.

"I have somethig to tell you later," I promised, touching his cheek to reassure him. "For now, let's just eat, okay?"

We headed downstairs, the smell of bacon and coffee filling the air. The dining hall was chaotic. I saw Jane sitting directly across from us; she didn't eat, she only glared at Jeff, her eyes promising a reckoning that hadn't finished in the woods.

"Ugh! I didn't get a wink of sleep last night," Candy complained, dropping into the seat next to me and propping his chin on his hand. "Did you get a good night's rest, Y/N?" Candy's smile is a knowing grin as if he knew what was happened last night.

"A-Ah... yeah, of course," I stammered, focusing intently on my plate. Beside me, Jeff suddenly grabbed his water glass and took a long, aggressive gulp.

"Hmm... I wonder where all those noises were coming from," Candy mused loudly. Jeff choked on his water, coughing violently.

"Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I heard it too!" Ben chirped from across the table. "You guys hear that? Sounded like a wounded animal in heat."

"I did," Masky said, his voice flat and bored behind his mask.

"I-I-I h-heard it t-too," Toby added, twitching as he reached for a waffle.

"I even heard someone clapping!" Sally piped up innocently. Rogue immediately reached over and smacked Ben upside the head.

"There's a kid here, moron. Shut up," Rogue hissed. She looked at me, her gaze sharp and knowing. I couldn't meet her eyes and I feel my face burning up in embarassment.
