Wake up (a jeff the killer love story)

chapter 8

(Jeff's POV)

I woke up with a gasp. It was incredibly hot in my room and I was sweating. I felt like I had run a mile and my limbs felt as heavy as boulders. As I tried to sit up, there was blinding pain in my stomach and I was forced to sit back down. For some reason, my throat felt raw and dry, making me unable to speak without some pain. I heard footsteps climb up to my room and someone opening the door.

It was Slender Man.

"Jeff," he said surprisingly quietly, "You're alright." He sounded relieved. I only nodded and smiled half-heartedly.

"Yeah, whatever. Where's averie? I want to see her." I said remembering how brave she looked standing in front of that beast Zalgo.

"Jeff, I'm sorry she-"

"What did Zalgo do?" I said trying to keep my voice even and measured, holding in all the screaming.

"He took her, she's not here anymore." Slender Man said sadly. He sounded tired, like maybe he'd been up all night. I looked out my window in as a wave of emotions crashed over me.

"I'll leave you to think. Do you need anything?" He asked getting ready to leave my room.

I shook my head dismissively and began to think. I don't know what I was feeling. I think it was mostly anger, sadness, and I don't why but I think I felt a hint of betrayal in those feelings. I want to know why she left, she's everything to me. Why would she go so willingly? Did she go willingly? Or was she forced?

I grunted in anger and slammed my fist against my bed. Then I remembered her. How she had gone willingly because she thought I was going to die...

...and I can't have averie do the same...

~Flashback~

"Jeff?" Riley screamed in fear for my life. She ran over to me and picked me up. She held me close to her as her tears came crashing down onto my face. I gave her a weak smile and put my hand on her cheek, which made her turn to look at me.

Her big grey eyes were rimmed with tears, threatening to fall off her lovely face. I was about to say something until Zalgo interrupted.

"Oh, would you look at that? It doesn't look like Jeff will survive this one my dear Riley." He said as a cruel smile crept onto his face.

Riley looked back down at me her eyes wide and questioning. I shook my head at her.

"No, don't listen to him. I'll be ok." Talking made me wince, but I had to put up a facade in order to keep Riley from doing something crazy.

Riley smiled sadly at me and turned back up at Zalgo.

"Can you help him?" She asked, her voice was shaky and so was her breathing.

"Of course," he said happily, "but I will need something else in order to help him." Zalgo said.

I already knew this had taken a wrong turn. I grabbed a fistful of Riley's shirt and forced her to look at me. I shook my head, she only smiled.

"What is it that you need?" Riley asked sounding a little braver this time.

"Another human soul. You know, one life for another." He said grimly.

Without question, Riley put me down and stood up. She began to walk over to him, her red hair was whipping around her in the wind and she was shaking.

"Now, you will die." Zalgo said.

Before I could do anything Zalgo stabbed a long knife into Riley's side. I heard her gasp before collapsing onto the ground.

"Riley!" I screamed trying to inch closer to her.

Blood was spilling out of her mouth and seeping from the wound. When I got to her, she smiled happily. I forgot about Zalgo, but I'm pretty sure I heard him leaving.

"Oh god Riley, why did you do that?" I screamed.

Riley took my hand in her's and looked up at the stars.

"Look at the stars, Jeff." She said. As she said this, I turned to look at them. There wasn't many, but the few that were there were shining brightly.

"You see that big one? I'll always be that huge one. I'll be watching from above okay?" She whispered. Her girp tightened on my hand then loosened. I didn't have it in me to turn to look at her, because I knew she was gone. So instead, I looked up at the stars, even though they were blurred with my tears.

And I swear, when Riley slipped free from me, the big star began to shine brighter.

(averie's POV)

Zalgo let me do whatever I wanted to. Of course that was with the condition that I stayed in my small, ten by ten, grey cell. He must have though that I was actually a prisoner because he even gave me a small, red, bouncy ball. I refused to touch it though, so it sat there just as idle as me.

The only thing that gave me hope was knowing that Jeff was ok. And I knew this because I think I felt him, he was alive, I knew it. I lost myself thinking about Jeff and the others, so I didn't even notice that Zalgo was in my cell.

"What do you want?" I asked coldly.

"Come now," he said sounding hurt, but not genuinely hurt, "Is that any way to treat the person who saved your friend?" He asked inching closer to me.

I moved away from him and hugged my knees close to my chest once I was in a corner.

"Fine, but tonight you starve." He said angrily now.

He slammed the rusty grey bars shut and stormed away.

I'm not afraid of you. I don't care if I starve, I'll live. If Jeff's okay, I'm okay.

I thought. This was my reassuring thought. Every time Zalgo would come in here, I would repeat those words over in my head, which drowns out Zalgo's disgusting voice.

"Don't come for me," I whispered, "It'll be better if you stay where you are. Safer." I looked out my window, which had some rusty bars preventing me from leaving, and hoped that Jeff wouldn't try anything rash or risky.

(Jeff's POV, two weeks later)

"Alright, I'm off." I said to the others.

There was goodbye's and good luck's as I began to walk away from our house.

Don't lose hope, I'm coming for you.
