Roter Sand

Chapter 20, My Demons.

Jeffrey was washing his hands in the sink, then he looked up to see another side of him, and he blinked a couple times. He stared, shocked, and looked at himself, " Who are you?" he questioned as the imagery of himself grinning was so creepy when his blinked eyes turned black and then back to normal. Jeffrey took a step back in, shocked by that. " I am you, but in demon form. " The imagery tells him. " How...? this is impossible for this to happen because this ain't real. " The imagery chuckles and looks at him in the eyes, '' Oh, this is very real. " He shook his head and left the bathroom until, in the corner of his eyes to see the imagery standing beside him. " You know, you can't pretend you don't have a dark past and self. You're gonna down the same path as last time. " Jeffrey glared at him and continued to ignore him.

The imagery follows him on the wall with the black shadow and watches him, " You can't ignore me forever. I am your demon~" Jeffrey stopped and glanced at him, " No, you're not. " The imagery shrugged his shoulders and looked at him, '' Yes, I am. You know how I was created for you and Norman. My friend still wants your friend to snap!" The imagery grinned even more, and his eyes widened with excitement. " He won't snap; he knows what his triggers are," he says as imagery huffs and crosses his legs while looking down at him. " Like you?" Jeffrey avoided the question from him and continued to walk down the hallway. He arrived in the room to see Jess sitting at her desk with no emotions behind her eyes.

Jeffrey goes to her with a pleasant smile as she finally glances up to see him and looks back down at the journal she's been writing. "What are you writing about in that little journal of yours?" He asked as he sat down at the desk. '' That's none of your business. " She responded to him, and he narrowed his eyes toward her. " You gotta answer me properly." He stated as she rolled her eyes, not caring about that. Jeffrey growled and roughly grabbed her chin to make her look him in the eyes, as she was just emotionless about this action by him. " Don't you dare roll your eyes at me, darling~" He sternly told her as she kept her mouth shut?

' Why isn't she arguing like last time? I mean, she hates it when I do this to her, so why?' He thought. The imagery appeared again, but this time next to Jess, " maybe she finally came to terms with the situation she is in right now. " the imagery guessed as he looked at her face. '' She ain't showing any emotion behind those pretty eyes of hers. " Jeffrey let her chin go and sighed while continuing to look at her, " Has something happened to you?" he asked. She glared at him and scoffed.

Jess has a fake smile and rests her head on her hands, " When did you care about me? You have yet to manage since you brought me here in the first place. " She pointed out while getting up, and Jeffrey observed her movement. " Stop acting like I don't care about you, but I do. " He tells her as she looks away from him. " You have a funny way of showing it.''

Jeffrey got off the desk and strolled over to her. Then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to his body. He leaned down towards her, and his hot breath went to her ear; she shivered as he smirked, " You know I love you, Jessica, ~" He whispered in a husky tone as she small blushed, " No, you don't. You just think you're in love with me because Charlie told you. " He twirled her around as his hands landed on her hips, and she was now facing him. " That's not true; I love you so much that I am willing to risk everything for you, my love~." He declares as Jess looks at him with doubt written on her face.

" Jeff...you don't know about real love here because this isn't real love. " He looked at her, confused. " What do you mean?" Jess soft sighed and closed her eyes while taking a deep breath, then opened her eyes again. " You don't kidnap the person if you love them and make them go through hell because you think it's right. That isn't real love." She speaks with reasons. Jeffrey still needs clarification on this as his mind has a lot of questions about this. " I don't understand..." he utters as Jess gently puts her hands onto his chest, " Then let me help you understand. " she pleads as he looks down at her hazel eyes to see the hope and a hint of love?
