Chapter 4: The Unexpected

"In all this darkness I'm just walking, I'm walking along

My happiness comes up to me and asks me with a frown

"Are you, Are you sure that you are okay?"

Ooh no, eh

I whisper no, I'm really not, I'm not, I'm so afraid

Holding onto the flowers tightly in my hand, I say:

"I, I'm.... I just walking, walking alone"

You hum the rest of the song sitting on top of a tree looking up at the moon. "Can I really stay here?" you ask yourself "Am I allowed to be this happy?" you lean back against the tree closing your eyes.

'I wonder why slender asked me if I knew if my family was alive' you thought. "Family huh... a place you can return to... a loving mom, a dad I can rely on to protect me, a perfect family..." you look down with a sad smile on your face.

"Hey..." you heard someone say from beneath you. Looking down you see Jeff. "What are you doing up there? If you fall I'm not catching you" he joked. "I found a really pretty word" you sighed "Hiraeth, a homesickness for a home you can't return to or that never was" Jeff looks up at you "You have a home, here with us, we're your family now" he assured you.

"Ohh, am I going crazy right now or is Jeff the killer trying to comfort me?" you teased feeling better with his presence. "I'll kill you, this is why I don't do this" he huffed, starting to walk away. You quickly jump off of the tree trying to catch up to him.

"Thank you..." you whisper walking back to the mansion beside him "Whatever" he turned his head away. "Oh, Slender finally got that mask you wanted. He sent me to come give it to you" he said handing you a red mask with a golden pattern. You thank him, admiring it for a while before putting it on.

The sound of a branch breaking makes you raise your guard. You turned to look at Jeff silently asking him if he heard that too, he slowly put his hand in the pocket of his white hoodie gripping his knife giving you an answer.

He looks at you signaling you to walk in front of him, not wanting to hold him back in case anything happens you silently obey. You freeze hearing a loud thud behind you, panicking you turn around "Jeff?" you ask not being able to find him. 'RUN' you thought as you faced forward and began to sprint.

Your legs burned, your breath forming clouds in the air, the mask making it harder to breathe, the wind whipping your hair back from your face, you can hear your heart pounding in your ears as you hear the footsteps getting closer and closer. Your eyes fill with tears as fear washes over you thinking of the possibility of your life-ending.

'Don't give up" you told yourself over and over inside your head. 'My scythe" you suddenly remembered, you looked behind you the shadow was a couple of feet behind you. You stop quickly turning around reaching into your right boot pulling out a familiar staff as you pointed it towards the shadowy figure pushing the button.

The scythe extends catching the figure off guard. They staggered back pulling out a knife, a familiar knife, Jeff's knife. You gasped "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" you screamed charging at him, being blinded by your emotions you didn't notice him lifting his leg as he managed to disarm you, kicking your scythe to the lake nearby.

Your eyes widened as you watched it sink, you were now defenseless. He charges towards you, the sound of running feet making you turn around as the body runs into you, tackling you to the ground as he lifts his knife, your mask falling off through the process.

They suddenly freeze, lowering the knife in the process, you pull your arm back and punch him straight across the face making him fall back. You get on top of him as you keep punching him over and over again till he stops moving.
