Wake up (a jeff the killer love story)

chapter 6

It's been a couple of months, almost a year, since Averie joined us. And let me tell you, each day has been something special. I feel as if when I'm around her, my defenses can go down and I can talk to her freely and openly. Before I met averie, there was a wall protecting my emotions. It didn't allow me to talk to anyone. And I mean no one. I mean, I care about all the other Creepypastas, I do, but I feel as though I can't talk to them like I can talk to averie. She broke me down, opened me up, and read me like a book. I care about her. I'm sure she doesn't know that, at least I hope she doesn't. I mean, I am a serial killer, but the whole 'admit your feelings for someone' thing always kind of freaked me out. All the other Creepypastas seem to like her as well, especially Slender Man. He's bonding with her quite well. I hope that over time, I can get to know her better and she can get to know me better. I want to know her beyond training. Maybe even beyond friendship. All in all, averie is an angel without wings.

(averie's POV)

It's been about ten months since I joined my new family. I've made a lot of new friends, and I care about each of them. I've even found a fatherly figure in the ever-interesting Slender Man. He's really kind to me, and I will enjoy every second of that while I'm here. He is somewhat protective over me, and I don't mind. I never got to have that feeling. My father left my ill mother and me when I was only three. I don't even know what he looks like. Then, a couple of days after I turned 9, my mother died.

I really miss my mother, she's all I ever had. But now, I need to look ahead, not back. Mom wouldn't be extremely proud of what has become of me, but she would be happy that I found family and friends.

Then there's the infamous, Jeff the Killer. Ever since I got to know him, I decided I wanted to help him. He shut himself in his room and wouldn't talk to anyone. He has and invisible barrier around himself, and it's almost impossible to destroy. But I think I'm getting there. He's beginning to open up to me more. I'm very happy about that, I like getting to know him. Even though he seems and looks evil, he's a real softy and I care about him.

I really hope Jeff and I get to be good friends. Maybe more. No, I don't think Jeff sees me that way. I mean, who would?

(Jeff's POV)

averie swung her fist at me, not angrily of course, we were training. I easily sidestepped her attack. Her momentum was too great and she came tumbling down to the ground. I laughed at her. Her attack was first level, but she looked so darn cute when she attacked and missed. She smiled at me as if I weren't laughing at all.

"My momentum would kill me," she said with a friendly smile.

I held out my hand to her and she openly took it. After I helped her up, her hand remained in mine for a while, without me realizing it.

"Uh, Jeff?" she asked.

"Yeah?" I asked looking into her beautiful, big blue eyes.

"You can let go of my hand now." She said. I looked down and realized her hand was still in mine. I immediately let it drop and looked away from her face. Heat flushed through me and I'm sure I looked like a tomato.

averie began to pick up all the equipment. I began to help her and began to think as well.

Do it now, Jeff. Tell her how you feel about her. Do it!

"averie?" I asked. And just as I asked, Jane opened the door and promptly entered the room.

"Jeff. averie. We need you, like, now." Jane said through gasps, almost as if she ran to the room. "We have a threat." She said gesturing for us to follow her. averie and I promptly did, leaving all the equipment on the ground. averie looked scared, and I can understand why she was. We've had high level threats, but it's not like we ever got out with any fatalities. The injuries were always minimal. I didn't understand why Jane was so scared.

averie and I struggled to keep up with Jane's quick pace. I finally caught up to her and laid my hand on her shoulder, forcing her to turn around and face us.

"What's the problem, Jane? We've never faced anything too dangerous. What's so scary now?" I asked, a tinge of annoyance in my voice.

Jane let out a long sigh and rubbed her forehead, something she does when she's frustrated. averie laid her hand on Jane's shoulder.

"It's okay, Jane," she said gently, with a sweet smile, "we'll still fight. No matter what the threat. We've got your back." averie said, her eyes gleamed with determination.

Jane looked at me, then at averie.

"Zalgo is here himself." Jane said, there was a tone of something I didn't catch in her voice. For once, I think there was fear in there. Even though Jane was usually so composed and poised.

"Well," averie said, "let's go see what he needs."
