Death

Chapter 7

The streets looked emptier and emptier as the days went by. The only people that were on the street were usually drunks. Purgatory must be near by again, more deaths had been happening, Hatred had left though.

I walked towards my school, I don't know why it hadn't been closed down, the rest of the schools were though. I started to open the door, I heard something that sounded like manical laughter, but it sounded like someone I knew. I looked behind me, nothing. I slowly turned back around, and inside of the reflection on the glass door, I saw Jack. I must be seeing things... I had thought to my self. I reached for the door's handle slowly, but I started to hear something. I didn't really HEAR it, it seemed to be in my thoughts. Maybe you aren't  just seeing things. Turn around. Jack. I turned around.

"Peek a boo! You miss me?!" He exclaimed. He looked like Jack, sounded like him. But I could tell it wasn't him.

"Y-You aren't Jack!" I exclaimed. He laughed.

"What makes you think that? Buddy boy?!" He said, smirking. His head was tilted down, and his hair over his eyes.

"Because, you are just dreaming, you're in Purgatory!" I said.

"No, I WAS in Purgatory, I left the fires, those things were ripping each other to shreds, ol' Purgs let me go! Memories and all! I'm not the only one who le-eft!" He sang as he laughed maniacally again.

"Stop laughing like that!" I yelled.

"So, I heard Hatred pissed you off. Want a secret? He is the least powerful of all of us!" He said, still laughing.

"Who are you?" I asked. He signalled me to walk closer, I did, and he leaned close to my ear, I assumed he was going to whisper his name in it.

"Insanity!" He yelled in my ear, I rubbed my ear as  he backed up. "I'm Insanity."

"What happened to Jack?" I asked after my hearing recovered.

"He is still up in the ol' noggin! You see, when Purgs let Hatred and I go, he gave us our memories, I AM still Jack, I'm the result of him when he dreams with his memories of Purgatory! This is what he feels when he is awake!" He explained, pausing to laugh more. "Sooo, that 'thing' you saw inside Purgs' portal, is actually, the real Jack."

"You aren't Jack. That thing in the portal wasn't Jack. You stopped being Jack ever since your spirit vanished." I said. He smirked.

"Well, well, well, lookey what we have here! Death CAN believe it's not butter! Believe it or not. It is really me, I'm the real Jack!" Insanity said.

"I don't know how this situation has anything to do with butter..." I said.

"Don't you know what a fucking metaphor is, Jared?!" He boomed. "You never were the sharpest, point, danger, stab, kill, weapons. I'm getting off track! Anyways! What I'm saying is, you're dumb! Jared, you aren't too bright!"

"And like you were an A+ student. No one is perfect." I answered.

"With all the power of Hatred, me, and the others, we will be perfect. We will destroy you. And remember, if ya' get rid off Purgs, you get rid of me!" He joked.

"You aren't you anymore, I don't give a damn about what happens to your soul anymore." I said coldly.

"Look, believe it or not, it's me." He said.

"I heard you the first fucking million times!" I screamed, but he had disappeared. "Damn coward..." I muttered to my self as I opened the door to the school and went in.
