The Killer In Me (Jeff the Killer) COMPLETED

Chapter Five

As this strange figure appeared from the dense forest, I started noticing some of their features. They wore a black and white mask with an orange hoodie and that was all I could really see other than small strands of brown hair behind the mask.

"Hello there beautiful." The strange figure spoke, his voice was soft and sweet. "What has Jeff done to such a lovely lady like you to make you upset?" He questioned, taking a seat on the swing next to me.

"Who are you?" He looked at me and I saw his mask shift, making me think he was smiling underneath. "I'm Masky, will you now answer my previous question?" I sighed, not knowing who the hell this so called 'Masky' is.

"He killed my best friend." I began to tear up at the thought of Nelly.

"Right, I thought it might've been the usual 'heartbreak' or something." His voice sounding sincere. What did he mean by the usual? I chose to ignore it and stared at the ground, kicking the dirt as tears started streaming down my face and I let out small sobs. I felt arms wrap around me and looked to see Masky hugging me tight.

"It'll be okay. In time, she will be nothing but a memory." At first I was angry at what he said, but began realise how right he was. "I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh." He apologised, removing his arms from around me. "No, no you're right." In all honesty, he was! I sighed and continued to kick at the dirt.

"MASKY! What the fuck do you think you're doing!?" I jumped at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. "Shit," I heard Masky mumble. He stood up from the swing and turned around, I did the same.

He wore an orange hoodie and mask just like Masky, but his mask was black with red around the eyes and mouth. He advanced forward and glared at me, I glared back, noticing him draw a knife from his hoodie pocket. Masky threw me behind him, "Don't you dare touch her!" He yelled defensively.

The other guy stopped in his tracks, Masky, who I had only just met a few minutes ago was now standing up for me against a killer. The other dude groaned as Masky threw his arm over my shoulders. "Hoodie, Skylar. Skylar, Hoodie." He introduced us. Hoodie extended his hand as if to shake mine. I reached out and shook his, he had quite a firm grip.

"I'm Masky's brother..." I nodded "sorry about pulling my knife on you" I accepted his apology and we stood in silence. "I-I have to go home." I said quietly staring at the ground and putting my hands in my pockets. "I'll walk you home!" Perked Masky and Hoodie and the same time, shooting each other a glare. I rolled my eyes and just started to walk, with them eventually following.

We finally reached my house after the one hour walk. We walked in complete silence except for the occasional bickering of Masky and Hoodie, ending with one of them being slapped or punched. As I walked up the last few steps of the back door I turned to say goodbye.

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys around..?" As I gave a small wave. Masky just waved back whereas Hoodie walked up the steps, held my hand up to his mouth and have a small peck onto my hand. I felt my face flush as he said "Of course, see you next time." And with that he walked back to Masky. As they turned and started leaving Masky gave Hoodie a shove and whispered, "What the fuck was that? You're such a flirt!" Hoodie just ignoring him and continue walking. I giggled to myself as I entered my home.

Jeff's POV

I chased after Skylar, but let her go. I saw her run to the park and sit on the swings. I was about to step out of the shadows when I saw a figure wearing an orange hoodie and black and white mask. "Masky!" I grunted to myself. I continued to listen the Skylar and Masky talk and as soon as Masky wrapped his arms in a hug around Skylar, I was furious.

That should be me!

When I saw Hoodie step out of the shadows cursing and screaming bloody murder, I just stood and watched.

This should be interesting. I watched intently as Hoodie drew his knife but surprisingly, Masky stopped him an they all wandered off, heading back to Skylar's home.

I followed, staying hidden in the bush as they walked along the small dirt track. I stared as Hoodie kissed Skylar's hand and they all said goodbye.

He's such a fucking flirt!

Later that night after I worked off some steam killing a family of 5, I decided to head home. Not my log cabin home, I mean, home home. Where I lived at Slender Mansion. My small cabin in the forest was just some place I found and chose to stay at when I went out for a few days at a time.

Once I saw the mansion I jogged up to the door, turning the large metal doorknob. As the door creaked open, the sounds of the busy mansion started playing in my ears. I walked down the hallway and to my left, in the living room was BEN and Eyeless Jack playing what looked like some fighting combat game with Masky and Hoodie cheering them on and Sally playing with her dolls.

I walked in and leant against the doorway to see how long it would take them to notice me. Sally looked up and her eyes filled with joy. "Jeffy!" She screamed as she ran up and wrapped her tiny arms around my waist, I hugged back. "Hey Sally." By this time, the others had turned around an noticed me too. They all stood up and rushed over, saying their hellos and what not, then walking back to their game.

I couldn't see Slender anywhere. "Where's Slendy?" I asked. They didn't even flinch from the TV screen. BEN shrugged, "I think he's in the kitchen.." Replied EJ (eyeless jack). I nodded and made my way to the kitchen.

Sure enough, there he stood, hunched over the stove, looking back and forth from a cookbook. He slowly turned his head and nearly jumped for joy. "Jeff! I was wondering what all the commotion was!" He rushed over and hugged me tight. I chuckled, shrugging him off.

We talked for maybe 10 minutes about anything really, where I had been, how I was and.. Skylar.

I began to smell something like... charcoal? I don't know, something burning. "Uhm.. Slendy. What's that smell?" I questioned curiously.

He stood up like lighting. "The lasagne!" He shrieked as if the world was about to end before pulling a burnt dish of what was supposed to be lasagne from the oven. "Let's hope it will still taste fine." He spoke sadly. I rolled my eyes and left to go to my room.

I passed Dr.Smiley's room and he gave a small wave, the same with Mr.Widemouth. As I opened my door I was greeted by a large fur ball leaping on my and coving my face in slobber. "Smile! Hey boy!" I eventually pulled him off me and led him outside.

Once back in my room, I crashed onto my bed and fell asleep.
