Chapter Sixteen

(Jackie POV)

I followed the voice singing. I felt guilty. I didn't want to hit mommy but I couldn't control myself. The voice made me do this.

Mommy started bleeding. I'm sorry mommy. I was walking through the woods. The same woods where I lived. The same woods where I played. The same woods where I grew like the trees in it. I didn't want to leave. This voice is going to take me away from my woods.

My life began here, I don't want to leave.

I approached a very scary man. He made me want to run but, I couldn't. He looked like a dragon. A black and red dragon. He had many mouths on various parts of his body. He had what looked like horns on his shoulders and head. His large menacing wings stretched out. He had what looked like horns on top of those too. Out of all of his mouths, the large one in the middle of his chest was the scariest. When he spoke, his voice came from all of his mouths.

"Hello little girl, I've been expecting you."

(Lilly POV)

"Lilly!"

I started to wake up.

I could tell I was being held.

"Lilly please!"

My eyes were twitching. I'm tired and my head hurts.

"God-- Lilly, please wake up."

My eyes fluttered open. My vision was blurry and my head was reeling. What happened?

A sigh of relief came from the person holding me. The arms around me tightened. I tried to speak but I was too tired. Too tired. Where am I?

My vision gradually began to clear. Jack was holding me. My lips were cracked and my throat was dry. I took a moment to generate spit and lick my mouth. God I wish I had some lip balm. Something felt wrong. I couldn't figure out what.

"Jack? What happened? Where's everyone?" I asked looking into his sockets.

"I thought you were dead. You were hit- God when I find the bastard that hit you. I found you in a puddle of blood, the fucker cracked your head open. I stitched it up though. When you didn't wake up, I started to panic." He confessed. He's worried. Jack only rambles when he's worried. It was honestly kind of cute.

I put my hand up to the source of pain. Jack's right, I had stitches. Ouch.

"Where's Jackie?" He asked. Then it all hit me.

"Jackie! Oh my god Jackie! She's gone, they took her!" I cried. "Who? Who took her?" Jack asked holding me closer. "I don't know. She didn't tell me" I buried my face into his chest. "It's all my fault!" I cried. I'm so angry, I can't forgive myself.

Jack ran his fingers through my hair. "Don't say that, it's not your fault."

I shook my head.

I was in front of the entire household. "I don't  understand. How'd they find us?" Jeff asked angrily. "How'd they find out about her?" Masky asked. The situation rose more questions than answers. "Well whatever happened, they must've known when, where, and how long we'd be out." Ben said bitterly. Ben glared at me.

Oh no is he blaming me too? I deserve it. I've been a terrible mother. A failure. Slenderman put a hand on my shoulder.

"We'll find her."
