I'll Never Die(JTK Love Story){COMPLETE}

Chapter Nineteen: New Home

Sunshine and fresh air- Jeff and I walk through the forest side by side. It has been about an hour since I left my house, and I feel as though we are waking in circles. Everything looks the same to me, but Jeff seemed to know exactly where we were going. He'd suddenly turn left or right, sometimes stopping for a moment to look around. My feet are beginning to feel sore- I want to sit down but I want to get there soon. Nightfall isn't long away, and even with Jeff by my side I don't like the idea of wandering the woods at night.

"What are we even looking for?" I groan.

"Getting to the home takes special work," Jeff tells me. "We need the right tree and the knowledge of how to unlock it. I know where the tree is, it's not far, and I know how to unlock it. We had to keep it this way to help keep out mortals."

"Oh," I mumble. "Alright."

We keep walking, I drag my feet. I'm beyond ready to get off my feet, and the anxiety washing over me makes me want to turn around, but I keep pushing forward. I'm moving into a new home with a killer, and the house is full of other killers. How many are even living there? I only know of a few, I have no idea how many there actually is. How safe will I really be? They won't mess with me, right? The two I've met so far haven't seem bad, besides the kills people for a living part and also the eating organ for the eyeless one.

"Jeff?" I question, my nervousness clear in my voice.

"Yes?"

"How many of you are there in this house?" I ask him.

"Only a handful, and they aren't always there all the time. Most of us will go out and find a home in a different town for a couple weeks at a time." Jeff replies. We turn left. He continues, "Slenderman and his proxies are there the most since they can get in and out the easiest, they usually stick to themselves and don't bug anyone, and most of them have come to terms with there enslavement to Slender, so they aren't really a problem to anyone. And there Eyeless Jack, you meet him before, he doesn't bug anyone much. If you ever need medical attention you can either go to him or Dr. Smiley- Dr. Smiley is nice and minds his own business mostly. He may want to study you a bit though, he likes to take people apart, but you should be fine. And then there is Laughing Jack, he can get on your nerves. Then there is Ben, Sally, Ms. P, Hobo Heart-"

"Okay, okay," I stop him from continuing any further, "I get it. Lots of people."

Jeff chuckles, "You'll meet them once we're there. Sometimes new people move in as well, as selected by Slenderman. But we are only a very small few, most live out of Slender Forest in there own homes."

"There own homes? How many of you are there?" I question him.

"Uh, I'm not exactly sure. There is a lot though. Not all of us kill, some are teachers, some become witches, some return to your world to do various jobs." Jeff explains.

"You have this whole other world," I say, in shock, "A whole community, thriving, with different jobs and such. How is this even possible?"

"What? Did you think your universe was the only one? There's an endless amount of different universes, ours is just connect to yours directly through some powerful creatures help. Without the connection, our universe could not strive the way it has, and those who were created like me would be stuck in your universe with no one to keep them in check. It's a necessary balance," Jeff says.

I'm at a lost for words, it was a lot to take it. Another world, a different style of living, a whole community of people like Jeff or even like myself possibly. It's crazy.

"This is it," Jeff says. He stands in front of a tree like all the others, expect for the symbol craved into the bark. It is a simple symbol, a circle with an 'X' through it. I had seen in commonly on sites that talked about Jeff and the others like him. I don't know it's meaning, if it even has one, but it seems to be associated with the tall faceless creature knowns as Slenderman.
