A/N: HEY THERE, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!Word Count: 1197-------------------------------------------------------------------------Jeff awoke with a start. The sun was shining brightly, and the ground was warm beneath his body. He yawned and winced as a dull pain erupted in his arm. Jeff shaded his face and rummaged around for his backpack. "Jack? Hey Jack, where's my backpack?"
Silence.
Jeff looked over and saw the empty space where Jack had lain. There were dirt tracks in the ground that lead away from the spot. Jeff stood up in a flash. "JACK?" He searched frantically. Except for the dirt tracks and pawprints around the spot, there was no sign of him. Wait. Pawprints. FUCK. Jeff grabbed his backpack and started following the prints, fearing the worst. Liu, you son of a bitch. Joke's on you, I can't afford to leave Jack in your twisted hands. God knows how you'll manipulate him.
***
A strong paw nudged Jack's leg, slowly waking him. "What..?" Jack mumbled groggily."Up." A snarling voice said. Jack heard paws clicking on stone ground, then over grates, and finally the dull thud as the thing headed upstairs. Jack fully opened his eyes and yawned, his stomach growling. He heard the basement door open and soft steps walking down.
"Hello again Jack," Liu took a seat in front of him again. "How was your rest?"
"Not very pleasant, my arms are sore from this rope," Jack sighed. "And I'm hungry. Is there any way I could get out of this, like maybe just tie me to a pole so I could at least move?"
Liu made a sympathetic face. "Sadly I don't think so, I can't really trust you as of now, so you see why I can't let you have some freedom. You could easily break free and try to kill me and I'm afraid I just can't let that happen. As for your hunger though, I can help. What would you like? I have some fruits, ramen, and some other things."
"Well, actually I can't eat any of that..."
"Really? You cant?" Liu leaned forward, interested.
"Yeah, I mean I can eat them, but they taste disgusting to me."
"Fascinating," Liu studied him like a therapist observing a particularly special patient. "So what do you eat?"
"Kidneys."
Liu's face twisted into one of mild surprise. "Strange. Does normal food still satisfy you or do only kidneys work?"
Jack thought for a second. "Normal food will do the trick for a while, but if I don't eventually get kidney, I could starve."
"I see, I see. Unfortunately, it being daytime, I can't go out and get you kidney until tonight or tomorrow night, so if you want food, it'll have to be normal food."
Jack winced, "I guess that'll work as long as I can have kidney soon."
"Great! And you understand that I'm very sorry about not being able to give you what you need, but I promise that you'll have kidney soon," Liu stood up and walked back upstairs.
Jack sighed, his arms going number by the second, and tried to talk to Chernobog. Hey. Are you there? I need your help to get out of here. No answer. A thin trickle of ice ran through Jacks veins, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. I don't fully trust this.
Liu headed back downstairs holding a bowl of ramen. "Here you go." He sat down in front of 
Jack again and held the bowl in his lap.
Jack wrinkled his nose at the smell. It smelled like rancid garbage juice and fisheyes.
"Open your mouth," Liu smiled pityingly and held up a spoonful.
Slowly Jack opened his mouth and grimaced as the soup hit his tongue. "Ugh, I'd rather wait until you get a kidney if you don't mind."
Liu smiled a small smile. "Well would you rather starve? It's going to be while, I told you that."
Jack shook his head, "I'll be ok. Just please take that away."
Liu set the bowl down and walked over to the side of the room, pulling out a set of keys from his pocket. He slipped the key into a lock on a door Jack hadn't noticed before. Liu took a chain, padlock, and a knife from inside. He headed back over to Jack and looked down at him. 
"I feel bad for not being able to give you the food you need so here." Liu wrapped the chain around Jack's neck and locked it to a pole on the other side of the room. He sliced off the rope and stepped back. "There you go. I'll leave the soup here just in case you change your mind. I'll be back." He headed upstairs, leaving Jack alone with a cold chain and a disgusting odor.
Jack groaned and shuffled away from the small bowl on the floor. God, this is such a mindfuck. First, I'm promised that I can get food and maybe a bit of freedom and now I'm chained to a pole with a putrid smell filling the room. I guess the chain is better than being bound to a chair. I am grateful for that.
He sighed and turned away from the food, nausau rising.
A crash echoed from upstairs. Jack sat up. The door to the basement slammed open and Liu sauntered down, but he was altered. The way he walked was stronger, more aggressive, with confidence. His eyes were sharper and more toxic. His smile widened and he stalked up to Jack and kneeled down.
"Hello Jack, we haven't formally met. My name's Sully." Liu, or not Liu grinned.
"What?"
"I'm his other personality, his other side if you will. Basically, I'm his fucking cooler side," Sully grabbed Jacks chin, forcing him to make eye contact. "And I'm the side that'll do what needs to be done." Sully pulled a syringe from his pocket.
Jack struggled, "No what are you-"
Sully turned Jack's head hard to the side and stuck the needle into his neck. "Liu's been interested in the way your fucked-up mind works, why you can only eat kidneys, and how you live cohabited with a demon, but he wasn't gonna go ask you, so here I am. Don't worry, it'll all be over in a bit," He laughed. "Actually, I don't know when it'll be over, so good luck. I hear Liu is an excellent surgeon."
Jack struggled and lashed out, scratching Sully as he passed out, the world fading away.

Jeff groaned as the sun began to set. "At this rate I'll never find him. God fucking dammit."
A twig cracked behind him. "Je-Jeffery."
Jeff turned and faced the boy with orange goggles and a face mask, holding an axe in his hand. 
"Wh-where've you b-been for the last t-t-two months and wh-where's the new recruit? Slenderman h-has got some questions f-f-for you."
"Toby," Jeff sighed and kicked the ground. "What the fuck."­­­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------------------------------------------A/N: WOAH guys I'm on a roll, I hope y'all enjoyed!Q: Favorite music album?A: Probably Placebos second album "Without You I'm Nothing" (1998) but I can't really choose.See y'all next time!-C
