Your Devotion - Slashers x Reader [Book Two]

[Chapter 66: Let's Keep Walking]

Thrilled by your response, Jason tugged you by the hand; both of you heading in the direction of the lake and leaving the camp's entrance behind. His bubbly behaviour felt almost alleviating, his heartwarming frame of mind cheering you right up while he contentedly walked besides you. Not to mention how heavenly the lake looked; what with the sun shimmering against the water and brightening up the camp's ground in general. Spending your Saturday with Jason...It was turning out to be tremendously refreshing. You didn't even need to do anything in particular. No activities, no plans, no nothing. Just holding hands and continuing to wander around.

"I can see why you like protecting Crystal Lake so much." You mentioned with a mellow voice, looking around the lake before complimenting the area. "It's beautiful."

All of a sudden Jason stopped, your comment causing the childlike killer to curl his arms around you and pull you into a tight hug. "Th-uh...an...k-uh...y-uh...ou..." He mumbled gratefully; his masked face hidden within the top of your hair. "Th-uh...an...k-uh...y-uh...ou...s-uh...oh...mu...ch..." [A/N: "Thank you...Thank you so much..."]

"Oh no, please don't grow upset...!" Hugging back, you wrapped your arms around his body in return and tried your best to stop the sudden tears that pricked at the edge of his eyes. "All I meant was—"

"N-uh...oh...one...ev-uh...er-uh...ap...pre...cia...t-uh...es-uh...C-uh...am...p-uh...Cry...st-uh...al-uh...L-uh...ake..." Jason explained in a hurt tone, his hold on you tightening whilst he treasured your previous praise. "N-uh...oh...one...ex...ce...pt-uh...y-uh...ou..." [A/N: "No one ever appreciates Camp Crystal Lake...No one except you."]

"Well...that's a good thing then, isn't it...?" You shyly pointed out, attempting to cheer him up. "Maybe I'm the first, but it's good that I admire and marvel at said scenery, right...?"

"Mmhm...!" The childminded male agreed cutely; pulling away slightly so he could nod enthusiastically. "B...B-uh...es-uh...t-uh...th...ing-uh...th...at's-uh...ev-uh...er-uh...h-uh...app-uh...en...ed-uh...t-to...th...is-uh...p-uh...lace...!" [A/N: "Mmhm...! B...Best thing that's ever happened to this place...!"]

"I don't know about that, but hey, anytime." You breezily laughed, feeling amused when Jason held you by the waist and whirled you around like a little kid would. "I was just telling the truth. It truly is a wonderful place."

"It...'s-uh...b-uh...ett-uh...er-uh...w-uh...ith...y-uh...ou...in-uh...it-uh..." He told you affectionately, his reply causing your heart to melt and pink to paint your cheeks. [A/N: "It's better with you in it..."]

"You're too sweet—" Before you could finish your words, your phone rang; causing you to bite your lip and dig it out of your pocket. "I'm sorry, worry you mind if I picked this up real quick...? I kinda forgot to silence it."

"F...F-uh...ine..." Jason grumbled in a clingy tone, watching you answer the call and hold it next to your ear curiously.

"Hello...? Who is this...?" You answered quizzically, not recognising said phone number before frowning. Wait, could it be—!?

"Hello again..." The previously-blocked person piped up a second time; their tone forcing your thoughts to flood with fear and start to panic. "How've you been...?"
