The Killer In Me (Jeff the Killer) COMPLETED

Chapter Sixteen

For the entire day, Slendy stayed in his office, looking through files and investigating. I continued to watch more American Horror Story and stay hidden up in my room, only venturing out when I need to eat or something like that.

I tried focusing on my TV show, reading a book, playing my phone and listening to my music but I couldn't stop thinking about my healing abilities. There's something wrong with me. I know it. Something just isn't right about myself anymore.

A knock echoes around my room, interrupting my deep thoughts.

"Come in." I mumble and the door opens, revealing Masky. I give him a weak smile and he returns one.

I pat the bed next to me and he obeys, "Why are you here?" I ask looking into his eyes, well mask thing. I still wonder what he looks like underneath that mask and I always will. But I doubt he'd ever show me.

"Well, we never ended up going back to your old house to get your stuff. So maybe we could go now. To get out of the mansion as well." He suggests and I nod.

"Sure, just let me put some warm clothes on."

*~*~*~*

We reach my backyard and it's dark out. We stay hidden behind the trees, careful to not be seen.

There's police tape all around my house and I notice a piece of paper on the telegraph pole near the road. It's strange that it still looks like this even after over a week.

"Okay, we need to be quick." Masky whispers and I nod. I get side tracked and head straight for the pole. I tear off the paper.

It reads:

MISSING PERSON
Skylar Jade Martinez, age 17. Has been missing since the end of August....

It continues on and has a large picture of my face plastered in the middle of the page.

"Sky, come on." Masky tugs on my arm.

I drop the paper and charge towards my house. We sneak in and begin packing more of my things. I pick up my phone, surprised that it's still there.

I click it on but it's out of battery, so I pack the charger as well.

Once we're done, we sneak back out and head for the forest once again. As I'm crossing my backyard, a light male voice calls out.

"S-Sky-kylar?" I turn to see Albert looking over the fence with a surprised face. Shit, shit, shit. I'm so fucked.

Next thing I know, a pair of arms are wrapped around me and I struggle to get out of them. Albert squeezes me tightly and pushes his head into my neck. I swear I can hear him like breathing in my scent or something but I finally get out of his death grip.

I don't say a word and scurry to the tree line where Masky waits, hidden in the shadows. I hear Albert call after me but we continue to run.

*~*~*~*

We pant rapidly as we reach the door to the mansion. As soon as it opens, yelling and glasses smashing is all that can be heard.

We curiously round into the kitchen to see Sally hiding under the table, hugging her knees and crying, while BEN and EJ are trying to stop Jeff from destroying everything.

Hoodie stands, attempting to clean the mess also. I run over and pick Sally up, carrying her away to her room.

Walking back to the kitchen, a drunken Jeff continues to yell and throw useless punches along with pots and pans, followed by a series of plates and bowls.

"For fucks sake Jeff, would you stop!?" EJ yells, tugging at Jeff. I rush over to the little cupboard filled with Sally's toys.

I rummage through them and pull out the wooden baseball bat, scurrying back to the kitchen.

They all turn to look at me, seeing the baseball bat and letting go of Jeff. He's still screaming and yelling threats but drops unconscious when the baseball bat connects with the back of his head.

"DAMN THAT FELT FUCKING GOOD. You have no idea how much I've wanted to do that again." I scream, with a large grin on my face.

"Wait. Again?" Toby cuts in.

"Yeah, I knocked him out once before." I say as though it's nothing.

"Damn girl, you're fucking brave." BEN adds. "I like it."

I roll my eyes and head to my room, ready to start unpacking my bags and charge my phone.

I stop at Sally's room and make sure she's okay then continue on my way.

I plug my phone in first then turn to my wardrobe emptying my clothes and neatly start placing them in.

I hear a bing from across the room and see my phone light up, which means it's turning on. I jump up and see how many missed calls and text messages I have. All from friends and unknown numbers. I decide to completely erase my phone and start fresh.

*~*~*~*

Making my way downstairs, I see Jeff laying flat out, face down on the living room floor.

Everyone else is either playing video games or just chatting away. I laugh at the sight of Jeff and sit next to BEN, grabbing a controller and begin playing the game with him.

After around 2 hours of gaming, we stop for a break and start hearing small murmurs, grumbles and groans from behind the couch.

I look over and see Jeff stumbling to his feet. I laugh as he rubs the back of his head and hisses. He turns and glares at me.

I immediately wipe the smile off my face and turn back to the TV.

"Oh look who's finally awake from their forced slumber. Sleep okay princess?" Hoodie teases.

Jeff pushes him up to the wall with a huge force. "Shut the fuck up, freak." He hisses.

Jeff drops Hoodie after blowing a punch to his stomach and starts to storm off. I jump up with anger boiling up inside of me. I run over and push Jeff from behind strongly.

"What is wrong with you!?" I yell. He growls and turns around.

"Don't. Touch. Me." He growls once again.

"Fuck you, I do what I want, you psychotic asshole." I retort.

Jeff pushes me to the ground in 2 seconds flat.

"You don't do what you want. You're just a worthless, unwanted orphan. That's all you'll ever be from now on."

Tears threaten and fall and Jeff's face softens a little, as though he regrets what he said. He gets off of me and storms off to his room.

Slendy stalks in and picks me up with one of his tendrils.

"Child, you're always causing trouble." He laughs. "Don't listen to Jeff. You're not worthless or unwanted." He adds and I nod, although I really don't believe him.

And with that, he stalks off back to his office.

"Sky, you're one ballsy, tough-assed bitch!" BEN laughs and goes back to his game.

I laugh as well and sit back down next to BEN.
