Captured (Jeff the Killer)

Lithium

~Jeff~

"Darling, I forgive you... after all,

Anything is better than to be alone.

And in the end I guess I had to fall.

Always find my place among the ashes."

I sing to myself quietly. I know that Charlie has fallen asleep so she won't hear me singing. 'Was it a mistake that I let Charlie read a few of my poems?' I think to myself, not expecting the voices to answer back. 'Of course it is you dip shit. You really think that she'll be here to comfort you and make you sane again? Think not.' 'I don't know why you're even trying. Just kill her. She's asleep next to you. It'd be so easy to just... I don't know. Slit her throat? Stab her in the stomach? You decide.'

"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it!" I scream, sitting up; waking Charlie in the process, gripping my head. "Jeff... are you okay?" I hear Charlie say, her voice breaking through all of the voices in my head. "No I'm not!" I scream, not knowing that my voice is vibrating off of the walls. "Jeff. Calm down." "I can't." I say, not screaming this time, Charlie's voice echoing in my mind. "It's okay Jeff. The voices are gone. It's just mine. There is no one else here. I'm fine; you're fine. Just come to me." Charlie whispers, putting a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me more. "Charlie. Get away from me." I hiss, looking at her, causing her to jump back, scared of me. 'That's the last thing that I wanted. Was to scare her.' I think to myself, standing up and pacing back and forth. "Jeff. Please." her voice echos in my head again, her voice cracking. "You're scaring me and I don't like it. You're supposed to be protecting me from Jane." she says once more. Standing up and walking towards me; grabbing my shoulders, forcing me to stand still.

"Don't touch me you little bitch. I didn't give you permission to touch me." I hiss grabbing her hands off of me, and squeezing them tightly, causing her to fall to the floor on her knees, whimpering. "I expected you to know now not to touch me unless I give you permission." I growl, ripping her up harshly and straight into my chest. Obviously getting pissed off at my actions, she shoves me away, breaking her finger in the process. "You're an asshole. I want you to leave this house and come back when you're calm enough to hold a normal conversation with me without breaking my damned hand!" she screams at me, slapping me across the face as hard as she could. I growl in pain but run out of the room and grab my knife heading back to Liu's room.

I hear the door slam and a lock. "Open the door Charlie." I say in a sing song voice. "No!" is her reply. "You should listen to me CharChar." I giggle maniacally. I hear her let out a loud sob. After five minutes of me pounding on the door, I finally calm down. "Charlie... open up the door please. I'm sorry." I whisper, stabbing my knife into the wall. I hear the door unlock, but her body weight holding the door shut. "Do you promise?" she whispers. "Yes Charlie. I promise." I mumble. I watch as the door opens slowly revealing the tear stained face of Charlie. "I'm so, so sorry." I whisper, hugging her. I feel her tense before slowly hugging me back. "You know, you were really scaring me. You don't do that to the girl you're supposed to protect you know." she says in a whisper. "I know that I promised to protect you from Jane, but, I don't think I'll be able to make the same promise of protecting you from myself. You know that right?" I ask, grabbing her wrists gently this time, looking over the bruises I had just created. "Wait. Shit. Charlie, you broke your finger." I whisper, grabbing it gently, causing her to whimper. I sigh and pick her up bridal style and carry her downstairs to the kitchen. "Stay here and I'll make you a make-shit finger cast." I say, grabbing some utensils. Once I finish it, I slip it on her finger carefully. "You're finger should be healed in the next two weeks. I'm only guessing then because it's a small fracture. And before you question, Slender Man taught me all about injuries since I sometimes get injured. Now, I'm going out to kill. I'll be back really late tonight. Or, early in the morning. I'm going to lock the back door and all of the windows. You have to lock the front door after I leave, so in that way, no one can get to you. I have a spare key." is all I say, running around and locking everything but the front door. "I'll be back. Stay safe. And get some rest." I say, pulling my knife out of the wall. "Jeff." Charlie says, staring at me a little. "Yes?" I ask, putting my hood up and my knife in my pocket. "Thank you for casting my finger and protecting me from Jane." she whispers, walking over to me and giving me a big hug before kissing me on the cheek. "You're very, very welcome Charlie." I whisper, kissing her forehead before walking out to go and kill.
