Wake up (a jeff the killer love story)

chapter 9

(Jeff's POV)

The trip to Zalgo's cave thingy took longer than I expected. I had to stop several times because of the darn weather, it was all rain and I think it might have snowed just a little when I was sleeping. The weather was below freezing and I could see my breath. I really hoped averie was okay. Knowing Zalgo, he was probably torturing her.

Zalgo, just thinking his name made my blood boil with anger. I don't know what my plan was, but when I got in that cave, Zalgo will have been nothing more than a memory.

The trip took about four days, when it should have only taken about two and a half. When I arrived at the mouth of the cave, I frowned. I figured Zalgo's hideout would be more hidden than this, I mean come on. It said 'STAY OUT' in what I'm assuming was human blood.

Well, here goes nothing I guess.

I'm coming for you, averie, don't you dare lose hope. I know you're still alive, I can feel you.

I thought to myself, reassuringly as I walked into the cave.

It's now, or never.

(Averie's POV)

"Averie" Zalgo called out to me in a sing-song voice that did not suit him at all. Then again, what did suit him?

"Yes?" I asked as politely as I could. Last time I had answered in a way that he didn't want to be answered, I learned the hard way not to do it again.

He forced me to take my shirt off, chained me up outside and made me sit in the cold rain. The rain felt like needles against my back, and he only watched from inside grinning evilly.

"Dinner time ,eat !" He said throwing some stale bread through the bars.

I'll have to admit, as hungry as I was, I didn't eat anything. I am frail now, nothing but bones. I'm sure I've lost a lot of pounds. Also, I stink. How long has it been since I took a shower? Three weeks?

I also think I'm going insane. When I sleep, which is incredibly rare, I dream of this girl. She has long red hair and the most beautiful grey eyes ever. She tells me to stay away from Jeff. I don't know why though. Then, when the dream is about to end, she disappears into a puddle of what seems like blood.

"I'm not hungry," I finally responded.

"Oh?" He asked quizzically. This was a test. If I didn't eat, I was sure to get punished again.

"But I guess I can eat," I answered quickly this time, hastily moving to pick the bread up.

Zalgo smiled evilly and walked away. I waited until I heard his footsteps walk echo farther and farther from me. When I couldn't hear him anymore, I threw the bread out the window, forcing it through the bars.

Then, I heard more footsteps come toward me. This time though, they were coming through the opposite side from which Zalgo left. The footsteps also sounded quiet, like whoever was there, was trying to be silent. I walked up to the bars and pushed my face up against them as far as I could to see who was coming.

When I saw who it was, my heart sunk into my stomach.

No. NO. NO. NO!

I screamed over and over in my head. That idiot, he only came to get himself nearly killed again. I can't lose you, not you.

...Jeff...

(Jeff's POV)

When I entered the cave, there was nothing. Just vast gray walls of stone running for what seems like forever. At first, I thought that maybe I was in the wrong place and maybe Zalgo's hideout was elsewhere. Then, I dismissed the thought and kept moving forward.

After a couple of minutes, I came across a torch. Then another and another. When I finally came across like seven torches, a saw a couple of prison bars. And a face, between the bars.

Without thinking, I ran over there. The person in the cave was unmistakable.

It was averie.

I was overcome by a wave of hope, anger, and a little bit of sadness.

She just looked so fragile. She lost all of her glow and she had bruises and cuts all over her fair skin. Her long hair was greasy and tangled. And her eyes, oh her eyes, she looked tired and sad.

I was more than happy to see her, but she didn't look to happy to see me.

"averie" I whispered cupping her chin through the bars. "I'm going to get you out of here okay?"

I began to look for a lock of some kind. When I found it though, she told me it was useless, that she had already tried and failed in her several attempts.

"Ah, but you don't have a knife." I said happily.

she tilted her head in confusion and her eyebrows knitted together into a frown. I began to break the lock when I heard footsteps approach us.

averie began to frantically look for a place to hide for me, but I just stood there. Ready to beat the living daylights out of Zalgo.

"Ah, well. If it isn't little Jeffery." He said in that low raspy booming voice of his.

He emerged from the shadows like what I would imagine a ninja would do.

"Let. Her. Go." I said hotly, holding my knife in a death grip.

"I'll tell you what. If you can fight my best fighter and kill them, I'll let her go. If not, then you both stay here and help me fight Slender Man. What do you say? Deal?" He asked holding his hand out for me to shake it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw averie shaking her head frantically. There were tears threatening to slip out of her eyes. But I knew that I could do this. No matter who it was, I would kill them and set averie free. Then everything will be back to normal and we'll all live happily ever after.

Sure, if only things were THAT easy..
