After figuring out all my plans wouldn't work. I gave up and dozed off. I woke up later that day. I realized all the white sheets protecting the furnisher were gone, and sitting on the left nightstand was a sandwich and a glass of water. I pick up the food and start to eat when I spot a note by the plate. I read as I eat. It read.
" I know you can identify plants and make medicine out of the plants, you're hear to make them. If it doesn't work, you will die. There's a piece of paper and pencil under this note. Tell me what you need to make medicine."
Sure enough under the note was a paper and pencil. After I eat I start writing things I need on the paper. I get out of bed and walk to the window, the chain rattles with every step. It's nice outside. It's around sunset and quite Windy out there. I watch as the leaves dance in the wind. Soon I see Jack walk to the house with a satchel by his side. He walks in and out of view. I run to the bed and shove the pencil under the mattress. I hear him walk up the stairs. I cover my self up and pretend to sleep. He walks in and grabs the things on the left night stand. He stands there before he violently shakes me awake. I sit up. " Where's the pencil" he says as he puts out his hand. The way In Which he spoke was more of a demand then a question. I shrug. " I don't know" I lie. He looks around and back at me. He walks out of the room and I sigh out of relief. He walks back in with a chair. He sits down. " I'm not leaving until you find it." He states. I pretend I'm looking for it. This goes on for 2 hours. He's looking at the selling and has been ignoring me for at least an hour. He had to have fallen asleep. I grab the pencil and charge him aiming for his neck. He looks at me, grabs my arm with the pencil. He stretches my arm behind me and forces me to drop it. Jack slams my face against the wall and pins me. He stretches my arm to it's potential breaking point and his grip on my wrist titans. " That was stupid, you were slow, too loud, and completely naive to think that would work. I'm faster, smarter, and silent. And if you ever put a stunt like that again I'll rip out and eat every shred of your insides and make you watch." He said in a low deep roar. He slowly lets go. He picks up the pencil and drags it out. I didnt see him again that night.
