Chapter #12- Runaway

-Jeff's POV-

We walked into the cabin, just before I stormed upstairs, I look back at Lucy. Her long burgundy hair ratted, and and fell on her pale face, just covering her vibrant eyes. I hated being like this to her, I always felt drowned by her beauty. I couldn't let her get away with this just because she's one of the only beautiful women I've ever seen. After all, she came with me that night I met her. She shouldn't of assumed that this was going to be a piece of cake.

" I suggest you listen to me, and I am keeping my promise." I turned from her, and continued to stomp upstairs. Did I really mean that? No. Of course not. I hate that I love her so much. She's a pain in my ass. I hate that I have to worry about her so much. Why can't she just be a little housewife until she's not pregnant anymore? I don't think I could ever understand her logic. I look over at the crib as I walked in our room, Snow. She's pretty ugly. Well, all infants are. I'm not sure if she will even grow up to be beautiful, she doesn't have neither Lucy's or my own features. Sure you couldn't compare what I look like now, to my children. But, I'll see if they grow up to be beautiful as Lucy and I.

I took my clothes off, except for my boxers and slid in bed, it's ironic how I make people fall asleep for eternity and I also "go to sleep". But hey, i didn't magically turn into a demon.

As I was drifting to sleep, light from the hallway nearly blinded me. I looked to see it was only Lucy. Great, what did she want? Every time I got mad at her she would either, not sleep, sleep on the couch or beg for forgiveness. I nearly give in every damn time. I can't explain the love I have for her. Nor explain why I do love her, and why I haven't killed her yet.

She undressed and slid into bed next to me, I turned my back to her, I didn't need to deal with anymore bullshit from her. But surprisingly, she just slid her arms around my chest, and held her freezing body to mine.

" Jeff?" I pretended to be asleep. " Jeff I know you're awake." I sighed and answered.

" What?" I spat.

" I hate how much I love you.." Was she reading my mind? I let out a chuckle.

" You're not so easy to love either."

" I know you won't forgive me. But, I'll do what you want. I don't want anymore conflict between us for the last 5 months of my life." She paused. " So I guess we can pretend to be a happy family for a little whil-" Her words were drowned by sobs. I can't stand it when women cry. It's pointless. Why do that and complain about your problems? It's not going to change anything.

I turned to her, and kissed her forehead, thank God she shut up. Her glossy green eyes, looked up at me. I looked away and held her in my arms.

" Just shut up. Enjoy what we have now, okay?" I whispered in her ear.

" I do love you Jeff." She whispered.

" Me too." I muttered, then drifting to a deep sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I startled, from the crashing thunder. I shot up, shivers tingling all down my body. I looked at Lucy, her arm still hugging my waist, quietly snoring. I gently laid back next to her. Playing with her hair like I used to. I placed my hand on her stomach. After a few seconds, I felt a soft kick. I chuckled at the thought of us having a daughter.

What should her name be? Should I name her after something I love? Hah. There's not a lot of things that I can even stand. Maybe a poem? From Edgar Allen Poe? ( The only poet I like) I tried to remember my favorite pieces from him. The Raven was my ultimate favorite. Raven.

I smiled. Such a beautiful name. I closed my eyes, and drifted back to sleep.

~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up from the sun coming through the blinds, I turned to see snow climbing onto my chest. Mumbling her own words, and looking at me like she expects me to know what she's talking about. I picked her up and walked downstairs.

Eyeless Jack was sitting in the kitchen with ben, munching on some half frozen organs.

" Can I eat that kid?" He laughed.

" Sadly no, Lucy would be pissed." I joked back with him. Ben just shook his head.

" I'm telling Lucy that you said that!" Sally cried. Where was she anyway?

" Wait, where's Lucy?" I asked.

" Outside." Ben pointed to the porch. I ran back upstairs to get dressed and put on Snow's coat. Then walked back downstairs and went out to the porch.

" Why are you out here?" I asked, shutting the door.

" Thinking."

" About?"

" My 'normal' life." She said.

" Don't tell me you're regretting everything now." I spat.

" Oh! No of course not. " she paused. " Just when things started changing. Getting urges and all. It was just so sudden. I made one life changing decision in less than 10 minutes."

" Yeah so? That's almost how I got to who I am now." I said cooly.

" But what if I got caught by the cops? What if I had to go to prison? Or a mental ward."

" Why does it matter? You're here with me now. You have protectors like Slenderman, you have children, you had glorious murders, and you have me. Stop questioning fate." She nodded and continued to look at the the falling snow.

" You're right. I'm sorry." We watched the snow in silence, no disturbances. I couldn't help but think about the promise. I don't know if I really should kill her. She's a liar, and a cheat. But at the same time she's the only woman I could ever love. Maybe if she proves to me that she can be a good wife, then I'll let her stay. But what if I'm the reason she's rebelling. I only keep her inside because of what she's done, and she's pregnant. Which I'll admit, I didn't enjoy getting her pregnant. I was drunk, and outraged. I regret doing it off of anger. I know it's suppose to be out of love, but I don't think I can look at her body the same way since then. It reminds me of everything, her body was shared with Masky. I don't know if they did anything of course, but it's possible. And the fact that she was even held by another man pisses me off. I even hate kissing her, because I know she kissed him. Just last night, my body grew hot, because I know he held her at night. Whispering lies in her ears. Touching her stomach like it was his child.

My thoughts were interrupted by Snow's cries, I realized that I've been squeezing her. I instantly let go of my grip, her cries soften.

I stood up and handed her to Lucy. And ran through the forest, ignoring Lucy's calls.

" Jeff!" She called. I couldn't stop running, I whipped out my knife. I needed to go hunting. I needed to bring my anger out on someone. Taking someone else's life, because of the fucking stress she's brought onto me. I was never like this before her. I enjoyed my damn life before I met her. Even if I took her life, I'd still would have two daughters.

I picked up my speed, surprisingly dodging every obstacle that came in my path.

I'm the damn problem, I'm the reason why she rebels, I didn't treat her right like I should've. That's why she left with Masky. I got her pregnant by raping her. Thinking that would make her stay. Thinking she would love me. She doesn't love me. She's lying. She hates my guts. She's only telling me these lies because she wants to live. Like every damn human does. They all do whatever they fucking can to live. When no one has anything to live for. No one is free. But they rather live a coward than to die by standing their ground. That's what she's doing. She's living like a damn coward. All because of me. If I left, she can get back to her normal life, and still kill in the night.

I'm leaving, because this is all my fault. Is that cowardly too?
