Bound

Chapter 3 ( the Nintendo 64)

It's been a couple hours since Jackie quit her job.  you could barely keep her away from the whiskey. saying that it'd be worth it if she did. but Jackie being the most stubborn creature ever to Grace the planet. in your opinion. just ignored you and went to her office. before she eventually. passed out at her desk. which worked out for you. but

Didn't at the same time. but now you were just sitting on the couch watching whatever was on the TV. if you thought it was stupid enough. Or it wasn't to your liking. you would change the channel. currently you're watching the news. saying that someone has escape the asylum. but you never really cared. you were sure it was nothing. and if it was something they probably catch the person. However your thoughts were interrupted.

Bye a knock at the window.  now you've seen horror movies before. to know how this goes. so instead of investigating. you went straight to Jackie's office. and knocked on the door for the fifth time in a row. "Jackie come on. I know you're pissed about today. but if you're awake. maybe we can watch a movie?" you asked before you heard a swift knock at the door. you wernt one to get paranoid. but it did bother you a little. so you went to Jackie's room and grabbed her pocket knife. Jackie wouldn't mind you borrowing it. that is. as long as she doesn't find out. you crept downstairs to see Rachel sitting down. With a wrapped box on the glass coffee table. but Rachel looked a little bit shaken. "hey are you

okay?" you asked. ,oh yeah I'm fine. just  a little bit worried. but never mind that. I got Jackie something. you know how she's always talking about vintage video games?" responded as she sat her bag in the chair next do the couch. "well yeah. all the time. if she's not talking about her ex-boss or her work. she'll usually talk about that." you responded turning off the TV. "what are you doing with her pocket knife?" Rachel asked. You sighed and confessed. that you thought you heard something outside the window. but it probably was just a tree branch. Or the wind. Rachel sighed softly and waved It off.

"Speaking of. Jackie. where is-". Rachel cut herself off. seeing the finished bottle of whiskey on the glass table. Rachel looked at you with the slightly disapproving look. before you laughed it off and said. "come on we both know she's very stubborn. and I'm pretty sure she still in her office. last I checked....." sighing Rachel Rachel looked at you. "well in that case. Let's check to see if she's okay." Rachel said as you followed her up the stairs. into Jackie's office. upon entering the office. you saw her laying face down on the desk. with a pen in hand. "man, even when she's drunk. she never stops working." you said

Softly. Rachel just chuckled. and said "you go high and I go low". with that you lifted up Jackie's head. and put your arms under her shoulders. while Rachel grabbed her legs. swiftly you you both carried her to her room. letting her sleep in her bed. not long after that you and Rachel did the same. but something told you. to make sure all the doors and windows were locked tonight. but judging by Rachel's paranoia. you knew the doors and windows. would be locked like a safe by the time you went to sleep. so you didn't bother with it. you stared at your ceiling and went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning was basically the same. you woke up to the smell of breakfast and got up. Jackie was always the last to wake up. but for some reason. there she was. making some breakfast for the two of you. but where was Rachel. "Uh hey". you said walking into the room. "hey". Jackie greeted back.  "So ...... wheres Rachel?" you asked. "she said that she was leaving. but she didn't say why." Jackie responded.

To be honest you are kind of weirded out by this. I mean Rachel was a very loving person. but she only went to the shop to help out her sister. if anything she'd avoid that place at all cost. you definitely had to ask her about it later. but for now you were just going to enjoy the weekend. "So..... what's in the box?" Jackie asked taking a bite of her pancakes.

"since you kind of had a shitty day. yesterday Rachel went ahead and brought this from the shop." You as you  hand the box over to Jackie. And finished up your pancake. Jackie slowly unwrappes the box. and sees a faint. 'don't play this game'! written on the box. but Jackie assumed it was probably a donated item. so maybe it was just some kid trying to scare her. so she opens the box to reveal a Nintendo 64. with 'Majora' written on The Top in Black Sharpie. Jackie was ecstatic. She haven't played Majora's Mask. since she moved out of

her aunts and uncles house. Jackie used to have a Nintendo 64. but one day her friend was over. and accidentally spilled some water all over the Nintendo. destroying it completely. of course Jackie was pissed off at her friend. But after that. She eventually  got over it. Jackie said the box aside. and hugged you. and softly Mumbled a soft 'thank you' to you. you couldn't help but smile at Jackie's childish behavior. this is been the happiest you've seen her in a while.

But little did you and Jackie know. That Jackie was in for terrible fate.........
