"Shhhhhh," He whispered in my ear. My body froze and I wasn't sure whether I should try to run or fight him. He traced a finger over my cheeks making me shudder for some unknown reason. That's when I lifted my own hand to my cheek to feel to big scars that stretched almost up to my ears. I felt what was left of the color in my face drain as Jeff chuckled a little.
"What did you do to me?" I said shakily, and he stroked my hair.
"Aw, baby girl, it wasn't me." he said.
"Then who was it?" and as he lifted my now black hair all the memories came flooding back to me.
"Figured it out for yourself, I see?" he said in a smartass tone.
"Piper," I said coldly
"And her posse!" piped up another voice from the corner, making my head snap in that direction.
"Who's there?" I asked, but got no reply so I looked back to Jeff "Who the fuck is there?"
"Oh, I, umm...no one" he said with mock innocence. Now I was pissed, and a little scared. I didn't want any more trouble from anyone, so I jumped onto my knees to give me an inch or two over Jeff and grabbed him by the hood of his plain white but blood stained hoodie.
"Who is it?" I growled and Jeff threw his hands up in defense.
"Feisty one you got there," the voice said again and I walked to the corner myself just to grab a fistful of another hoodie, except this one was black. As I yanked the...whatever it is, from it's hiding place I was face to face with a blue mask I would recognize anywhere.
"Eyeless Jack," I mumbled as I let go of him.
"You can just call me Jack," he said as he rested a cold hand upon my cheek. Suddenly, someone grabbed my waist from behind and pulled me back against their body.
"Jealous much?" I asked Jeff. He just growled in my ear.
"Wait, are you two a thing?" Jack asked.
"No," I answered, and Jeff's face washed over with a look of sadness but Jack ignored that and jumped at his chance.
"You got anyone else?" he asked, pushing Jeff away and pressing his forehead against mine. As Jack was about to say something else two ghost white hands wrapped around his throat tightly enough for me to see Jack's face become pale and he started choking.
"JEFF! STOP! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" I shouted as Jack flailed wildly in Jeff's death grip.
"That's the point," he grumbled.
"STOP IT NOW!" I screamed through tears "YOU'RE GONNA KILL HIM!" I ran over to them and jumped on Jeff's chest, pushing him to the ground and forcing him to let go of Jack. He glared at me for a second before looking into my tear blurred eyes and his expression softened.
"I'm sorry, my temper got the best of me." he mumbled as we stood up I punched Jeff hard in the stomach and he fell back down to the floor.
"You better be sorry," I growled before going to Jack and helping him up.
