Escape the Sanity

Welcome Home, Darling

Chapter 6: Welcome Home, Darling

Emily slowly started to wake up, she looks around to first see a light shining through the window the rest of the room was a dark brown color. Her vision was still blurring, but she could still make out her surroundings; she tried to get up to feel around, but there was something wrapped around her...it felt like a pair of arms.
" W-where am I?" She asked herself. Suddenly she felt breathing on her neck and...saliva?" What the hell? Who the fuck? W-what's going on?! Where am I?!" She freaked out and started tossing and turning to break free of whoever was holding her.
Jeff started to notice her freaking out after spacing out all night and decided to calm her down. He put his hand on her mouth and started rocking her.
" Sshh, it's okay-it's okay baby I'm here don't be afraid." He told her. Emily was shocked, confused, and scared out of her mind. Why was this dude calling her 'baby'? She knew this wasn't her boyfriend, then she remembered...last night...someone was in her bedroom...and then she blacked out.
Jeff uncovered her mouth and wiped the drool he accidentally left on her neck with his sleeve." Sorry, didn't mean to drool on you." Jeff said.
" Who are you?" Emily asked scared and shaking.
" It's me Emily, Jeff. You don't remember? I rescued you from those people...now your save with me." Said Jeff.
Emily tried and tried to remember what happened last night, but it was as useless as trying to remember the things you did when you were drunk as hell. She did remember one thing; one creepy and frightening thing...Jeff's face. She remembered the black circles around his eyes, his bleached skin, and his smile...that one smile that was so haunting it scared her lifeless. He had carved a smile onto his face and now he looks like a madman, why? What could of caused this?
" Emily, look at me and say something, my love." Jeff told her. Emily refused to look at his face; that damn face of his was just so...awful!
" Look. At. Me. Emily!" Jeff said with a little aggravation in his voice, he hated being ignored especially by her. What other choice did she have? She slowly turned her head over and closed her eyes, she wasn't ready to see his face in the daylight yet." Open those gorgeous eyes of yours baby." Jeff said.
Emily opened one eye and then the other one and stared at Jeff completely; she didn't freak out, she didn't scream, she didn't even gasp, she just stared wide eyed at Jeff. She didn't even feel frightened by the sight of him, she felt...safe, somehow. Emily put her hand on Jeff's cheek and rubbed her fingers down it; it felt leathery and kinda greasy.
" What do you think of my face?" Jeff asked. Emily didn't know what to think: weather it was beautiful, gross, scary. And then she answered, a simply answer and surprised even Jeff.
" It's a wonderful face." She said with some kind of flirty tone. Jeff smiled shoving off his white teeth and started to laugh, but it wasn't a friendly laugh it was some sort of insane friendly laugh that made Emily giggle a little bit." What's so funny?" Emily asked.
" Nothing's funny," Jeff said," I'm just happy."
" Why?" Emily asked.
" Because, you like me; you like my face." Jeff said with the biggest smile on his face, Emily grinned. Jeff pulled her closer to her and kissed her cheek, smearing all kinds of blood on her face.
" Jeff why did you bring me here?" Emily asked.
" Because I wanted us to be together." Jeff answered in a creepy tone of voice and played with her hair. Emily suddenly got a cold chill down her spine and she got goosebumps on her arm, the feeling of Jeff touching her was...weird and different. It's a feeling that Emily has never really felt before, it made every piece of hair on her skin stand up and she couldn't control it. Jeff pulled out his knife from his hoodie pocket causing Emily to go wide eyed and turned as white as Jeff; Jeff noticed her face reaction and giggled while putting the knife down on the bed." I'm just putting it aside Emily...don't be scared." Jeff explained to Emily who was still shaking, but she breathed with a sigh of relief. Jeff hugged her tight and rocked her back and forward to try and get her to relax; when he remembered the shots, he still had some in his pocket, but didn't want to knock her out again because he wanted to spend the day with her.
Emily curled up in a fetus position in Jeff's arms and tried to calm herself by breathing in and out slowly. Jeff rubbed his head on hers and nibbled on her ear; Emily was starting to get a little creeped out, but she sat there and took it.
" Jeff..."
" Yes, my darling?"
" Can we...go home?"
Jeff started to laugh at the thought of going home, Emily had a confused look on her face." What's so funny?" She asked.
" You are that's what. We are home silly, this is where we live now." Jeff said while still giggling and smiling.
" Jeff...I meant back at my parents house...my house...and your house."
" It's too late for me to go home." Jeff said in a low voice, scaring Emily a little bit.
" W-what do you mean?" Emily asked.
" Mommy and daddy went bye bye Emily, they didn't like me anymore...Lou went bye bye too!" Jeff said in a child like voice only with a twist of insanity. Emily was processing in her mind on what he meant by them going 'bye bye' no, he couldn't possibly.
" W-what do you mean? Where did they go?" Emily asked frightened.
" I sent them away," Jeff started laughing like a madman," I killed them, I killed all of them! Mommy lied to me about my face and they were gonna shoot me Emily...shoot me! So, I stabbed them...really really good...Lou was scared of me, so I had him join mommy and daddy," Jeff started crawling up to her face and smiled like a madman," nobody lies to me, nobody!"
Emily hid inside her arms and closed he eyes in fear, hoping that he would go away. She knew it! She knew that he had killed his family! He's completely insane who else has he killed?! She needed to know, she wanted to get away from him, she wanted to get out of there and go home.
Jeff unfolded her arms and kissed her cheek with his blood covered lips making Emily tense up a little bit. She wondered how he managed to even break into her house and kidnap her, did he kill her family too? So many questions in her mind, but she was to scared to ask.
Emily felt her hair and how gross and tangling it felt, she felt gross an sticky an knew she needed a shower. Jeff noticed the disgusted look on his loves face and started to worry a little.
" What's wrong darling? Is there something wrong with me?" Jeff asked.
" It's not you," Emily said," it's me...I smell bad and feel gross and greasy...I need a shower, badly."
Jeff put on his thinking face...which was no different from his psychic face.
" Does the water work here?" Emily asked.
" I'm not sure darling, but ya know...I think your beautiful dirty or clean." Jeff flirted, Emily smiled a little bit and blushed. Jeff ran out of the room and started to find the bathroom, which he didn't know that the bedroom Emily was in had its own bathroom built inside it.
Emily rolled her eyes, got up, and walked to the bathroom. She searched for a light switch, when she found it she was surprised that the house still had electricity in it. She walked over to the bathtub and turned on the hot water knob...wow! This place still has water too! Surprising.
" My love?! My love?! Where are you?!" Jeff called out a little worried.
" I'm in the bathroom, Jeff!" Emily answered. Jeff raced his way to wherever she was, burst through the door, and breathed with a sigh of relief.
" I discovered water!" Emily said with excitement," and electricity! It's like this house is brand new or something." Emily said with more excitement. Jeff smiled at the sight of his love being happy, as long as she's happy he's happy too. Jeff left the room to give her some privacy and walked back and forward to think of things he needed to do. What other things did they need?
" Let's see...we got a house to hide in, we have water, electric that we won't be using very often...or else the cops will be suspecting...I don't need any clothes these clothes are perfect for me, but Emily...oh, my beautiful Emily needs clothes. Good thing I stole a lot of her stuff from her room when I brought her here...what else is there?!" Jeff said to himself as he sat on the bed and thought long and hard while his love was showering.
When she got out Jeff's body flew up from the bed and wrapped around her like a blanket. He kissed her cheek at least five times and squeezed her in a right hug." Jeff...!" Emily said," I can't!...breeeeathe!"
" Oh," Jeff loosened his grip," sorry...I just got so excited to see you." Jeff said.
" Jeff...do we have any food?" Emily asked.
" I'm not sure Emily, I'll go see." Jeff said and sprinted to the kitchen. He flung open the fridge and found nothing...he found it a little surprising.
" Nothing?" Emily asked as she came through the entry way of the kitchen.
" Nothing," Jeff answered," but I know where to get some!" Jeff said in that psychotic voice and put on a crazy smile, he looked over at Emily who looked a little...scared, mainly because she was hiding behind the entry way of the kitchen and only half her body way showing. Jeff grew a little considered and went over to comfort his love, but she quickly backed away from his open arms.
" What's wrong darling?" Jeff asked. Emily froze in her place and looked down away from Jeff to try and hide her face of sadness, tried to hide her tears. Jeff got ahold of her and held her in a loving hug and turned her side by side." I know darling, your hungry," he lifted her head and wiped away a tear," don't worry I'll take care of everything. Tonight I'll get some food."
" But-"
" Sshh-" Jeff placed his finger on her lips," you don't have to worry about a single thing...just relax in my arms."
Emily hoped that he wasn't gonna do what she thinks he's going to do, but then again he is insane. A blood lusting killer who Emily can't do anything about...it's more than likely he was going to kill...and steal.

Later on that day Jeff had guided Emily back up to her, well their room to put her to bed after passing out almost completely on the couch.
" Jeff? W-where are we going?" Emily asked half asleep and in Jeff's arms in bridal style position.
" It's okay dear, it's time for bed." Jeff said while laying her down in bed and put the covers over her.
" B-bed time?!" Emily said nervously.
" It's okay it's okay! Don't be frightened darling, everything is okay." Jeff said in a soothing voice. Wow, he sounds more like a father than a boyfriend...in Emily's opinion. Jeff laid down with her and cuddled with her to make her go to sleep.
" Jeff...h-how are you suppose to sleep? Y-you don't have any eyelids." Emily asked.
" You don't need eyelids to sleep darling!" Jeff answered," our bodies are weird like that! We can slowly go unconscious without even closing our eyes...then we wake up without actually being asleep."
Emily remembered learning about that in health class, he has a good point. Emily still found it very...disturbing having his eyes open all the time, she guessed that it was suppose to be creepy.
" Now, go to sleep." Jeff said as he slowly shut her eyes and waited for her to drift off to sleep. A few minutes flew by and she was finally asleep, perfect. Jeff grabbed his knife and slowly and quietly made his way out of the room and out of the house. Time to hunt. Jeff thought about stealing food from his old house but...the police probably already surrounded that place so he knew he couldn't go back. He sprinted towards the closest house and began to invade. This house was just a simple trailer that was a little bit small for a regular size trailer. Jeff ran up to the window and started to open it, he climbed through the window and landed on his two feet, he saw someone in the kitchen getting a drink...looking straight at him, it was a little boy. Jeff smiled widely.
" Hello little boy!" Jeff said psychotically happy, like a demon.
" Y-your not Santa!" The boy yelled.
" No! I'm not! But I'm something much more better than that fat-ass pedophile!" He pulled out his knife and ran up to the boy and grabbed him by the shirt," now little boy it's way past your bedtime...time to go to sleep!" Jeff said. The kid screamed bloody murder and Jeff quickly started stabbing the kid and slaughter him open, he heard people running in and a gun loading so he froze. A woman screamed and the other gasped.
" Oh my god! What have you done to my baby?!" The woman yelled.
" What have I done?" Jeff said," what have I done? Stupid questions deserve a smart answer madam...you see I simply did-" Jeff threw the knife at another boys head and watched him fall down to his knees and instantly died," this." He finished his sentence.
The man with the gun started shooting, but Jeff dodged all the mans shots. Jeff found the knife collection and ran up to the man and woman, first he attacked the man with the gun by splitting his head in two and stabbed his heart; next he stabbed the woman in the stomach, covered her mouth, and slid the knife in her heart.
" You should of just stayed in bed...now shut your eyes cause it's beddy bye time." Jeff said as the woman died shortly.
Jeff put on a pair of gloves and started to search through all the cabinets and under the kitchen sink to find a bag of some sort that he could shove food and other things in for his beloved. Jeff shoved in the bag a bag full of apples, two boxes of Mac&cheese, some yogurts, some bread, a first aid kit (for Emily of course) a few bottles of water, some canned fruit, a can opener, some soup, and jar of animal crackers. Then he went into the bathroom and grabbed some lady materials for of course Emily that she might need in the future, ya know? Advil, pads, etc. he also grabbed other bathroom stuff and started making his way out of the house, quickly.
" Poor Emily, what if she woke up and she's scared and can't find me? What if she ran away?! What if someone kidnapped her and now she's gone?! I have to get home!" Jeff said as he raced his way back to his house with the bag full of items. He tried to get there as quick ad possible by taking the woods and just followed the trail, then he heard sirens." Oh dammit! Oh well, I'm too deep in the woods now...those bastards will never find me." Jeff said while still running and started to laugh, it was the laughing of a madman...again.
