It Is You I Have Loved (Cancelled For Rewrite)

Chapter 2: Somebody That I Used To Know (Revised)

By morning Kirenia's suitors had all planned something for her, based on what they knew. Daniel was going to have his bees give her a bouquet of black and purple roses, her absolute favorite kind of flower. Norman knew that she loved sweet things, so he had planned on getting her a peach mango smoothie, fruit smoothies being her favorite drink. Leatherface knew her favorite kind of meat was a human heart, so he was going to go out later and acquire a few. Lecter had decided on some new outfits for Kirenia, knowing very well of her love of fashion. And her newest suitor Jason, had chosen to tell her who he was, having had the realization of her identity after their encounter yesterday. Kirenia awoke early, having to take Titan out to the bathroom, his whining doing the trick to wake her up. "Hold on Titan. Let me get dressed, and we'll go." Kirenia pulled out some black yoga pants, a yellow camisole, and white sneakers. After getting them on, and tying her mostly sunshine hair up in a tie, she was off. Titan practically dragging her outside, doing his business, before dragging her back inside. "Titan what's the rush?" Titan dragged Kirenia to the kitchen, and went straight to his food bowl. "Oh. You want breakfast. Ok, one doggy deluxe breakfast coming up. And I got your favorite brand Blue Buffalo." Titan went nuts at hearing that, having learned to recognize the food brand, and digging in the moment his bowl touched the ground. Kirenia stepped away to grab a protein shake from the fridge, when Norman walked in with a Jamba Juice cup, and walked over to her. "I heard you liked smoothies, so I went out and got you one. It's peach mango." Kirenia's face lit up at the prospect of her favorite flavor. "Thanks Norman, that my favorite flavor!" Kirenia kissed him on the cheek, while receiving the beverage, Norman going beet red, and dashing out. "So sweet." "What is?" Kirenia turned to see her father standing behind her, a cup of coffee in his hand. "Norman is, he just gave me a smoothie." Freddy smiled at that, figuring that at least one person was on the right path the winning Kirenia's heart. Suddenly, bees carrying a bouquet of roses entered the kitchen, gently dropping the blooms into Kirenia's other hand, they turned into the outline of a heart, before leaving, both Kirenia and Freddy's jaws dropped. "Quite impressive." Both turned, and saw Lecter, several bags in his hand. "But I doubt that'll compare to what I've brought for you Ms. Krueger." Lecter handed her the bags, and smiled, having seen her face light up at the sight of the clothes. "Thank you! I love them!" Kirenia once again gave a kiss on the cheek, instantly turning Lecter's face red as well. "If you'll excuse me." Lecter promptly left, most likely to go and take care of his blush. "I'm going to go and get these hung up. Daddy could you help me carry these?" "Anything for my princess." Freddy grabbed the bags, and proceeded to follow his daughter up the stairs. Leaving the bags just inside her door, before heading to the porch to enjoy his coffee. A sudden yip from behind Kirenia had her turning, and she nearly fell over at the sight, the Great Dane from yesterday was behind her, but her shock was quickly quelled, when the dog dropped a bouquet of wildflowers in front of her, barking once, before trotting off. "That was...different." Kirenia then took the new bouquet, and her other one, and placed each in a separate vase in her desk, with a knock on her door sounding out just as she put some water in. "Enter." Another one of her friends Grudge walked in, holding what looked like her boyfriend's knife. "Let me guess, Ghostface broke his knife?" "Yes. He jumped from a window after shouting "I am the night" as an escape plan and landed wrong, the blade came out of the handle. Can you fix it?" "Easily." Kirenia smiled and took the knife, carefully fitting the end of her bladed tail into the slot where the knife would fit into the handle, and sprayed a small amount of webbing, watching as the sticky black substance slowly seeped in, before pressing the blade in, holding it in place for a few moments, before handing it back to Grudge. "Let this sit for about an hour, and it should be good as new." "Thanks. I'll tell him. And did you see the dogs playing with Titan? I think they might be friends." Kirenia turned to her friend quickly. "Which way?" "Front. I think the guy with the hockey mask owns them. He's out there on the porch watching all three" A sudden loud yelp which Kirenia recognized as Titan's had her in a panic "Thanks Grudge, I gotta go." Kirenia proceeded to rush past her friend, and head straight for the front door, running into something once she got out. She brought her head up from the ground, and began to look for her beloved dog. "Titan. Here Boy." Kirenia watched as her dog limped over, his front left paw bleeding slightly. "Titan!" Kirenia suddenly felt whatever was under her shift slightly, and looking down she saw the stranger from yesterday was under her, on his back, and she was laying across him, making her scramble to get up. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! It just that I heard my dog yelp, and I panicked! You're not hurt are you?" The stranger shook his head, and proceeded to stand up, dusting himself off. "Once again I'm sorry. But if you were out here. Do you know what happened to Titan?" He nodded, and held up what looked like a bloody piece of glass, then pointed to Titan. "Did you pull that out?" Another nod came her way. "Thank you. But I'd better get Titan inside and get his paw patched up. Come ere' Titan." Kirenia walked over, and attempted to pick up all 150 pounds of her dog, only to have the stranger come over, place his hand on her shoulder, and pick up Titan like he weighed nothing. "Thanks again. I guess you want me to show you to my room?" A third nod. "Ok. Come on this way." Kirenia proceeded to lead him towards her room, hearing Titan pant happily, and lick the stranger's mask, making Kirenia swear that she heard a faint chuckle once or twice. After opening the door and stepping aside so the stranger could step through, she noticed that he had to duck slightly to get through the door. "You can just set him on the bed." The stranger did as suggested, and got another big sloppy kiss from Titan. "You can go now if you want." The stranger nodded for a final time, and exited the room, feeling his face heat up at the sweet smile he received from Kirenia. On his way down the stairs, he was confronted by Freddy. "HOCKEY PUCK, WHAT THE FUCK WHERE YOU DOING IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM?" That's when he stopped dead in his tracks, knowing exactly what was going to happen next. "I'VE ASKED YOU A QUESTION, AND I EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER ME! Oh that's right, you don't talk. So tell me mamma's boy in whatever way you can, why were you in Kirenia's room? Did your precious mother tell you to?" That's when he lost it, nobody insulted his mother, and what Freddy just said, he took as an insult to her. In a flash Freddy was pinned to the wall, with a hand around his throat, and for the first time in years Jason used his voice. "YOU KNOW WHAT FREDDY? I WILL TELL YOU! I WAS UP THERE BECAUSE I WAS HELPING RAVEN CARRY HER DOG UP THERE AFTER HE STEPPED ON SOME GLASS, AND HURT HIS PAW! AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE! IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM HER, THEN YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING! BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE WANTED TO BE WITH HER AGAIN! I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO SEE HER SINCE I WAS NINE AND I DROWNED, EVER SINCE THEN, EVERYDAY I'VE WANTED TO SEE HER AGAIN! TO THINK THAT SHE WAS UNDER MY NOSE THIS ENTIRE TIME, YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW STUPID I FEEL! AND DID YOU KNOW THAT I ACTUALLY REGRET CUTTING YOU FUCKING HEAD OFF, KNOWING THAT YOU'RE HER FATHER, AND THINKING OF HOW MUCH HEARTACHE I MUST'VE PUT HER THROUGH, IT MAKES ME HATE MYSELF MORE THAN I EVER HAD! IF SHE KNEW THIS, SHE MIGHT NEVER LIKE ME AGAIN! I FUCKING LOVE HER, AND I DON'T WANT ANY HARM TO EVER COME TO HER!" Freddy suddenly got a very smug look on his face. "She already does." Jason turned, and saw Kirenia on the stairs, tears in her eyes. "J-Jason, I-I-I.."Kirenia turned swiftly, and ran to her room, slamming the door behind her. Kirenia grabbed her giant suitcase from under her bed, set it on top, and began to gather her things. "Titan wake up, we're going home." Said dog woke up, and looked to Kirenia, tilting his head. "I can't stay at the Motel with Dad anymore, it's too much." Kirenia was now stuffing her clothes from the closet into the bag, pulling out Titan's crate while she was at it. "Titan up." Kirenia stuffed a pillow, then a blanket into the bottom of the crate, helping Titan in, before closing the door. Kirenia had just finished packing the last of her stuff, when her door was knocked on. "What is it?" A voice came from the other side of the door. "Kirenia, it's me Michael. Everyone was wondering if you're alright, it seemed like you got a pretty big surprise." "I'm fine for the most part. I need you to put the ramp down." "Can I ask why?" "I got a full suitcase, and dog crate with a dog in it." "Are you leaving?" "Yes Michael. I'm heading back to my house, please don't tell anyone, and if they ask, tell them I'm going on a trip." "Alright." Kirenia heard heavy footsteps, before the sound of sliding, just as she tied her suitcase to the top of the crate, before wheeling it out, heading towards the staircase which now had it's ramp pulled out. Freddy was the first to notice Kirenia coming down the ramp. "Kirenia, where are you going?" Kirenia didn't respond, and merely continued on her way, Jason leaping up when she got to the door only to have Michael stop him. "Let her go, she's still processing what happened." Jason nodded, and sat back down, watching as the door closed, wondering what was going through Kirenia's head. Meanwhile outside, Kirenia had just unlocked her hummer, and was putting the crate and suitcase in, having already pulled out the ramp, hearing Titan whine. "Sorry bud, but it's what's best right now." Kirenia finally got the crate in, and secured it. Just as she got into the driver's seat, Kirenia could see Titan in the rear view mirror, and he looked seriously depressed, and the sudden rain storm wasn't helping. Kirenia grabbed a tea towel from the glove box, unfolded it, and covered the front of the crate, making sure she couldn't see Titan. "Sorry bud. But I need you out of sight for a few hours, just until we get home." Kirenia was just a few miles from her house, when This Is Halloween started to play on her phone, telling her Michael was calling, so she pulled over, pulled out her phone, and answered in her normal fashion. "Hoi. What cha' need?" "We've got a problem. After you left, your dad and Jason got into a nasty fight. Your dad has broken legs, and he somehow managed to break Jason's arm. The bone is actually sticking out. Are you coming back or you still heading off?" I'm getting ready to teleport right now. Let me put you on speaker. Ok, now tell me how the fight went." "Ghostface got it on camera. So when you get here you can watch it." A sudden scream in the background was a brow raiser. "Oh shit! Your dad's bones are sticking out too. His pants got caught, and your mom is giving him the stink eye. She walked in just as the fight got heated." "Damn. We're gonna get cut off for a moment, hold on." Kirenia closed her eyes as the bright light surrounded her and her car, and when she opened her eyes, the motel sat in front of her. The only thing anyone saw was a black and yellow blur, only realizing who it was, when the sunset pink banged girl came to a stop, her head whipping left and right, looking for her childhood friend, locating him, and running to his side, just as Lecter got to him. "Jason are you alright? This is all my fault, if I hadn't gone off, you and my dad wouldn't have fought." Jason took his good arm, and wrapped it around her, pulling her close, and turning the girl beet red, while also shutting her up. "Sorry. It's just having you around again makes me protective, if camp was anything to go by." Jason smiled behind his mask, and remembered how many people she sent to the ER, before having to hold back a scream as Lecter grabbed the exposed bone. "Mr. Voorhees, from the looks of it, you'll most likely be in a small cast and sling for at least two months." Those grey eyes couldn't have gotten wider. Kirenia quickly spoke up, a nervous smile plastered on her lips. "At least you're better off than my dad." Jason nodded and looked at Freddy, the man fuming from the wheelchair he was now stuck in, his wife Luna standing next to him, the Xeno queen turned human chewing him out. (That's her at the top, I couldn't find the one I wanted, so I got stuck with this.) Jason turned back, and screamed when Lecter shoved the bone back into his arm, the doctor pulling out a needle to stitch the wound closed. Jason not seeming to notice when he was getting stitches, because he was too busy focusing on Kirenia who had gone over to check on her father, and only now was he noticing how much of a beauty she had turned into. Her hair had become much longer, and he was sure it was beautifully soft, her bangs were now pink, and it made her unique eyes pop, the gemstone orbs seeming to sparkle when the light hit them just right, although now they seemed a little grey. The change in color had Jason worried, fearing that she was possibly going blind, that being a problem he was dealing with right now, his vision nearly gone, and he hadn't told anyone, not wanting to worry anyone. "Mommy, Daddy, Sissy?" Kirenia's head whipped away from looking at a small cut on her dad's cheek, to looking at the tiny boy at the top of the stairs, her eyes going wide as she rushed up next to him. "Lavi?! What are you doing up?" Lavi's tiny blue eyes looked into the slightly grey ones of his older sister, the five year only instantly latching onto his sister's leg. "I heard a noise, and felt Daddy get hurt. Where is daddy?" Kirenia got down to his level, and Kirenia a hand through his purple black hair. "Daddy is downstairs, he got into a fight and got a little hurt. He's going to be fine." The boy's tail instantly perked. "Can I see him?" "Sure Squirt." Kirenia picked up her little brother, and carefully walked down the stairs, feeling the gaze of their father land on Lavi. "Here dad. He sensed you getting hurt." Freddy nodded, before taking the tiny boy into his arms, carefully setting him on his lap, starting to rub Lavi's back after he saw the casts, and began had to sob. "Alright Mr. Voorhees, the cast is on and set. Come back and see me in two weeks so we can remove your stitches." Kirenia turned, and saw Jason attempting to get up from the low couch he had been sitting on, having trouble since he could only use one hand. "Hold on. I'll help." Kirenia stepped over, and took Jason's hand, carefully pulling him up. 'Thanks.' Jason quickly signed to Kirenia, before walking out, not noticing the giant grin on Freddy's face, while Kirenia did. "Dad, what's with the grin?" "Nothing pumpkin. I was wondering how do you feel about cats?" "I'm fine with them, but what does that have to do with anything?" Freddy snickered, and wheeled away, Lavi jumping from his lap, and getting into his mother's arms, wondering the same thing as his sister, who was going after her father. "Dad, what did you do to Jason?" "I'm not telling. And I need you to put down the ramp." "Fine, but if you did anything to Jason so help me I'll.." "I'm your father and you will not threaten me." "I'm 20, you don't really control me anymore." "Damn it, you're right. Speaking of age. Your 21st is coming up quick, anything you want?" Kirenia suddenly got a gentle smile on her face, and soft tears graced her eyes. "The same thing I want every year. If it's somehow possible, I want a rainbow rose bush, and a galaxy rose bush for my garden. I've seen you breed roses, and those roses have always sprouted in my dreams, so I figured you'd be the one to do it." "I'll try, but my legs have to heal first. You feel like helping me out of this thing?" Kirenia nodded and followed her father, knowing that he would need help getting ready for bed. She got up to his room, and began to help her father change, quickly noticing that he didn't have any pants on under the blanket that rested on his lap. "Dad where are your pants?" "Had to cut them off. Help me with my sweater please." Kirenia nodded, and stepped over to her father, helping him pull off the sweater. "Hand me a t-shirt." A plain white tee was tossed Freddy's way, before Kirenia left to retrieve her mother so she could handle the pants, thankfully running into said queen in the hall, the royal actually on her way to help Freddy. Kirenia decided to just try and teleport home. Kirenia stepped into the pouring rain, and placed a hand on her hummer, before gathering energy, and letting it burst out, finding herself at home in an instant. Kirenia opened the door, and opened the crate, watching Titan bound out, and enter the mansion that they called home, through the dog door, while leaving his owner to walk through the rain alone with her suitcase. After a couple hours of watching the entire Friday the 13th series just so she could get the scoop on Jason, Kirenia was ready to go to bed, and spy on a certain someone's dream, then intervene if she had to. Kirenia changed into a Markiplier Tiny Box Tim t-shirt and some Warfstash pajama pants, got in bed, wrapped her arms around Titan's neck, and closed her eyes, feeling sleep wash over her.

(meanwhile at Camp Crystal Lake)

Jason had finally managed to get his jacket off, and was finishing his routine. Helping the dogs onto the bed, before getting on himself, pulling the blankets over him, and laying his good arm over both dogs, feeling one lick his mask, making him smile lightly. The sudden sensation of a dog getting up, had Jason shooting up, and a look around the room revealed that his Great Dane Rusty, was pawing at the door, indicating that he needed to use the bathroom. Jason managed to get up, and unlocked the door, feeling cold night air blast over him, while the sound of the pouring rain made him shudder. Rusty did his thing, and came back, his coat dripping wet. Jason grabbed a towel, and began to dry his dog, not wanting the water in his cabin, and Rusty being Rusty, shook, spraying Jason. Jason held back a scream, and continued drying, feeling satisfied after twenty minutes. He motioned for Rusty to get up on the bed, and layed down himself, noticing that he was starting to feel a bit dizzy, and this was a sensation he recognized. Freddy must had used some tranquilizer on him, and it was starting to take effect, making Jason sigh loudly, knowing that he was in for a dream beating and a possible vomiting episode when he woke up. The full effects hit him, and Jason closed his eyes, sleep coming like a tidal wave to him.

(back to Kirenia)

Kirenia opened her eyes, and found herself in the Dream Scape, she could hear yelling, and clashing metal. Walking forward, she could see Jason, and her dad, fighting. Kirenia noticed the loose pants her dad was wearing, and pulled out her phone, knowing what she was about to record would come with her to the waking world. Kirenia ran forward, got her hands on the waistband, and proceeded to pants her dad, getting his reaction, then Jason's, then running away like a coward, Freddy chasing her and yelling, getting onto her for the embarrassment. Kirenia kept running, looking back every once in a while, just to see if they were still after her. Jason seemed to be trying to get past Freddy, while Freddy was focused on catching his daughter. Jason succeeded in getting to Kirenia, and scooped her up, before hightailing it the other way. "Ok I think we lost him." Jason nodded, and stopped, setting Kirenia down carefully. "Thanks." Kirenia kissed the cheek of Jason's mask, and dashed out of the building, Jason standing there dumbstruck for a few moments, before going after her. Unaware of Freddy laughing at him, because such a little show of affection and appreciation was enough to shut the killer down for a few moments. Kirenia dashed into the back door, and ran into her father, seeing that he'd been laughing. "What's so funny?" "You managed to stop Hockey Puck for a few seconds. And to think all it took was a little kiss." "Right. Jason was always a sucker for mushy stuff, but those emotions were always the sweetest. I can't wait till my birthday, the world sharing all that love, and I can draw from it." Kirenia sighed, not noticing the world was starting to distort indicating that everyone was about to wake up, until her dad yelled. "You might want to buy some cat food."
