Our Perfect Insanity

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Fifteen

My fists clenched angrily as I looked over at the two that were standing in the trees. 

As I blinked, the woman disappeared, though Jonathan was still standing near the trees, watching me with a sick, sinister smile on his face.

“You guys go ahead… I need to talk to someone.” I said, shooing my bestfriend and my boyfriend away from me. 

The two exchanged looks with each other, before nodding at me and walking away. 

I turned towards the trees, where Jonathan was still standing.

I felt rage build up inside me as I made my way over to him, watching as with every step that I took, his evil grin grew and his eyes filled more with malice. 

My fists clenched and unclenched in anger, as I strode over to him.

“Why did you do it?” I questioned darkly, stopping in front of him. He grinned, his teeth looked… sharpened? 

He smirked at me, his eyes glinting.

“Do what? Dear, I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Jonathan mused, tapping his chin in thought… fake thought. 

He was only pretending to be confused as to annoy me.

“Yes, you do. Why did you kill my mother?!” I asked, my voice rising. 

Jonathan’s head snapped to face me quicker than I thought humanly possible, and his eyes flashed with emotion that I couldn’t place.

“I didn’t kill her… I never hurt her…” Jonathan whispered, and for a second his eyes lost that insane glint, before he shook his head and sighed.

“Yes, you did! First you killed your ex-wife, and then you killed your daughter and my mother!” I exclaimed, and Jonathan growled at me, his eyes filling with hate and anger.

“You’re accusing me of killing my ex-wife, my own daughter, and the woman that I loved?!” Jonathan sneered in anger, balling his fists at his sides.

I stared at him in shock.

“You loved my mother?” I breathed, surprised, and Jonathan nodded.

“I suppose there was never enough time for her to tell you, but, yes, I did love her. I did everything I could to stop… her... from killing your mother, as well as my daughter, and ex-wife, but, in the end there was nothing I could do. Now, I don’t regret anything, I’ve given in.” 

His explanation only seemed to confuse me more.

“Given into what?” I questioned slowly.

Jonathan looked at me sadly, and then looked around before sighing.

“You look just like her... like your mother.” He whispered sadly, before turning and starting to walk further into the woods. 

I looked behind me quickly, making sure no one was watching, before I ran after him.

“Jonathan, wait!” I called, running after him. 

His legs were longer than mine, and he walked much faster, so, I was having a hard time keeping up with him. I reached out and grabbed onto his wrist, pulling him to a stop and causing him to look down at me, unamused.

“You can’t just leave, I need answers! If you didn’t kill my mother, then who did?!” I asked, and Jonathan bit his lip, opening his mouth to answer, but, someone spoke first.

“Now, now, child… we mustn’t touch what isn’t ours.” The voice whispered harshly.

Jonathan tensed up slightly, before relaxing as a sly smile grew upon his face, showing off his oddly sharpened teeth.
