Secret Desire {Jeff The Killer Story}

Their happy ending {Two year timeskip}

Third POV

Two years. Two long, lonely, painful years. Yearning for her. Yearning to feel her warmth, to feel her touch, see her smile, hear her laugh, see those beautiful honey brown eyes again. Yearning to finally be one with his girl again.

Yet here he is, staring at Eboni's motionless face- with no witch in sight.

The war against Zalgo came to a bittersweet close a year ago. Today is the anniversary of Eboni's untimely semi-death. The witch fell alongside Zalgo in order to save everyone. It broke Toby to pieces, thinking his love was gone forever.

But Jeff thought otherwise.

He remembers the look in Luna's eyes. The determination was edged into those annoying glowing blue eyes was evident. She had a plan up her sleeve, maybe one that took longer than she excepted. Jeff doesn't like Luna by any means, but he took his time to observe everything that tried to center themselves into Eboni's life.

He knows when Luna tells a lie, no matter how small. He knows the way the glow in her eyes dim when she's preparing herself to lie. Her eyes glowed the brightest he'd ever seen them when she made her declaration over Eboni.

A knock comes from outside the door, EJ letting himself in to complete his daily checkup. "Hey."

"Hey...." Jeff grunts out, his eyes never leaving Eboni's form.

EJ checks her vitals before changing her IV and healing serum bags. He pulls out another bag from his cart and hooks it up to the feeding tube. He holds hit gently, looking at Jeff.

"How is she? Any signs of movement in her limbs? Twitching if her fingers?"

"No...none....still as lifeless as ever EJ...stop asking me dumb shit."

"You never know wh-"

"I do know! Shes been the same since this shit happened! No movement, no twitching- NOTHING! So stop asking me THE SAME BULLSHIT EVERYDAY!" he snaps out, leg bouncing as he digs his nails into the palms of his head, trying to keep himself under control.

He knows he's in the wrong, but he's nearing his breaking point. Today makes Two years of him having to deal with the hollowness deep within his heart. It's been two years of waking up to a ice cold back. It's been two years of having to be on his best behavior with slenderman. Two years of having to hold back from gutting Taylor like a fish.

Two years of trying to stay sane, all for her.

He lowers his head, his body trembling slightly as he releases a shaky breath. "Jack...I don't know how much I can take..."

EJ closes Eboni's feeding tube after cleaning around it, taking the sit next to Jeff. "I know man...I know.." he whispers, voice lace with sadness & understanding.

EJ still blames himself for not being able to save Eboni and their unborn child. He feels the weight of it grow every time he sees Jeff like that. He, too, is loosing his patience and temper with Taylor, Jane, and Clockwork. The same can be said about the others. Dina was forced into the White room for two weeks after beating Taylor to near death. BEN was sent to electro shock torture for nearly electrocuting Jane to death. And Helen was locked away into the underground, a place far worse than the white room for slitting Clockwork's throat. Unfortunately the woman lived.

Needless to say, the mansion has become a place of pain rather than a place of solace. Everyone is at their breaking point, and everyone is nearing their boiling point.

"I...I miss her." Jeff whispers, feeling tears prick the corners but refusing to let them fall. "So much...so-so fucking much." He gulps, trying to force the lump back down. He told himself two years ago that he wouldn't cry over her anymore, but for some reason- his heart feels much heavier than usual.
