Chapter Three

Kerigan

I did get a wake-up call at three am, but it wasn't from Toby. It was from Jack yelling at me, pulling my pain filled body out of bed and dropping  me on the floor. I yelp in pain, and groan as I try to push myself up. The bottom of a sneaker pushes me back down from in between my shoulder blades.

"Good morning, faggot, you're going running. Grab your shoes and shorts, let's get going. You have thirty seconds." He snapped, and I rolled over to glare at him.

"What the fuck, Jack? Seriously? It's three-"

"20 seconds." He snaps, and I groan, getting up as quickly as I could. Grabbing my shorts, and shoving my feet into my shoes, I look up at him in confusion. He grabs my arm roughly and pulls me outside. I grunt as he shoves me into the cold, and shuts  the front door.

"Let's go! Four laps around the property, and every time you slow down or fall behind me, adds another lap." I wince as he starts running, full out sprinting. I whimper and run as fast as I can to catch.

From starting at three, we don't finish until almost noon, and what was four became thirty fucking three. I couldn't feel my legs, and I was gasping for breath. I doubled over, wheezing, and he stretched beside me.

"Take three minutes, then you're doing suicides." He snapped. My anger exploded as I rounded on him quicker than I thought my jelly legs could move.

"I'm about ready to fucking commit suicide! This is fucking ridiculous, Jack!"

"One and a half minutes now. Catch your breath, ass wipe." I winced at the name. He had been using them against me all fucking morning and I had had it up to *here* thirty seven fucking times already. I take deep, calming breaths, and rub my eyes.

"Forty suicides from here to the house. For every one I don't see you touch the ground is another three." He hisses, crossing his arms. Jeff watched from the porch, along with EJ and Masky. I grunted and started hard, then realized he didn't give me a time restriction. I slowed it down, and only ended up getting six more, my abs burning. I about collapsed, as Jeff brought us some sandwiches and water. I only got half a sandwich though, which pissed me the fuck off. Why should he get more! He's not the one fucking working!

"This is bullshit, LJ." I hissed at him, and he looked up at me, narrowing his eyes.

"Insulting me again? Hand over your water bottle." I jumped up.

"Excuse me?" I screamed, and he grabbed it, chugging the whole thing. My eyes widened. I was burning in anger, and my whole body was shaking in rage. He wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Inside to the punching back. Let's work on your biceps and calves." I gritted my teeth and hissed obscenities , but followed him regardless.

While there, he wrapped my hands and said to hit the bag as hard as I could. I curled my fists, and attacked the bag viciously. My knuckles ripped open long before I stopped, and when I did, my arms hurt from how hard I was attacking it. Jacks face split into a huge smirk.

"Good job, fuck face."

Snap.

I suddenly launched at him, my long nails ripping into his skin before he could deflect me. I screamed, and banged my fists into his head, breaking his nose and knocking him onto the ground, hard, before Jeff and EJ finally grabbed me, yelling at me to calm down. I squirmed and kicked, yelling back for them to let me go. My vision was red, and I wanted to fucking murder him, with all the shit he'd put me through.

"You're goddamn motherfucking lucky I don't have my fucking knife, clown boy!" I screamed, and blood dripping down his face, he slapped me. Hard. I froze, and slowly turned back to look at him. His eyes widened in fear for a moment before my knee connected with his crotch. Hard. I suddenly went limp, and the two holding me were not expecting my full weight, and dropped me.

Don't ask how, but I dropped and spun on my back, sweeping EJ and Jeff off their feet as well, as LJ collapsed in pain. I jumped up and backed into a corner. Masky and Hoody ran in, finding me barely holding off Jeff and EJ with a two-by-four. They came over and tried calming the situation when Slender suddenly peeked into the room, his loud booming voice scaring us all into freezing up. He took one look at the situation, and immediately headed for me. I screamed and knocked EJ upside the head hard, pushing him and Jeff into Hoody and Masky, who in turn smacked into Slender. I ran out of the room, and upstairs. Slender followed.

"Kerigan! Stop! I was not going to hurt you! I was trying to save you!" He yelled, and I pushed the dresser against the door, tears of fear forming in my eyes. I backed away, sinking against the opposite wall, the tears starting to make wet tracks down my cheeks. I yelped as static broke through the air, and he appeared before me.

"Kerigan, please, calm down." He whispers, sounding like someone dealing with a wild animal. My adrenaline was wearing off and boy hardy did I think I hurt the day before. My tears of fear slowly became sobs of pain, pure searing pain.  "I'm proud of you, Kerigan. You took down all my sons, something not most people can do, let alone a human."

"Y-Yeah well most humans have never felt than angry and terrified." I whispered very quietly, and his chuckling voice rang through my mind as I winced.

"That is true. But you did very well. I will speak to LJ about leaving you alone. For now, you deserve a good solid meal and some TLC. I'll fetch Ben and Sally."

He moved the dresser, and I tried catching my breath, wheezing and sobbing loudly in pain. Blood was dripping down my arms from my knuckles. Soon, Ben and Sally walked in, Ben with some food and Sally with bandages. She carefully cleans my knuckles, smiling at me encouragingly. I whispered as Ben gave me pain killers, and the food that I ate slowly.

After that, they helped me stand up and climb into bed. I smiled and gently kissed each of their heads, even though Ben wiped it off, in thanks. Leaving, they turned off my light, and closed my door. I sighed and closed my eyes.
