Wake up (a jeff the killer love story)

chapter 23

(averie's POV)

Liu stared back at me, his piercing green eyes bore into my blue ones. "You want to fight me?" I asked.

Liu nodded and made his way over to me. I held my breath as he came close, the smell of wood and pine wafting after him, and exhaled sharply as he laid his hand on the door knob behind me.

"Meet me outside when you're ready." Liu said without turning back to face me.

I ran upstairs and into the room Jeff and I shared. I opened the closet and put on one of Jeff's old jackets. It was red with white sleeves and had the logo from Jeff's old school. I inhaled deeply through my nose, inhaling the sweet scent of Jeff that emanated from all over the jacket.

I made my way downstairs and went out the front door. Once outside, I saw Liu wandering all over the vast land that the Creepy Pastas dare call 'front yard.' I found myself involuntarily smiling at how similar Liu and Jeff were. Not in only in the way they act towards me, but in the way they walk as well. They have the same sharp yet graceful way of walking, like they know where they are going.

Liu caught me staring and smiled mischievously up at me, making me blush out of embarrassment. "You ready?" He asked making his way over to me.

"Wait," I said raising my hands up defensively, "before we...fight. I want to know something. Why do you want to fight me?" I asked, lowering my hands.

Liu blinked, then shrugged, "I don't know. A little bird told me that you had powers and I just want to know how strong you really are."

I was taken aback by this, "oh. Well note to self: find and kill that little bird." I said with a nervous smile, causing Liu to laugh.

If this was the reason Liu wanted to fight. Then I really didn't want to do it. Last time I used my powers, I dug a stone into Jeff's side and seriously hurt him. I don't want that to happen to Liu as well.

"I know, you're afraid of hurting me. But don't worry I'll be fine. Come on, follow me." Liu said reading my mind.

I nodded curtly and followed him out into the middle of the field, the dead grass, now brown instead of green, crunching under our feet. Before me, Liu went into a fighting stance and I went into mine.

"Okay. You attack first." Liu said.

I lunged myself at him and swung, aiming for his stomach. I missed and nearly came tumbling to the ground, skidding to a halt. I growled in frustration and lunged myself at Liu again. His swift and graceful movements were no match for my clumsy and rash ones.

"Come on, averie," he complained, "this won't be any fun if you don't use your powers."

I wheezed and coughed as I fell onto my knees, already breathless. Then, I wiped my forehead and muttered, "fine. You want to see powers? I'll show you powers." I hissed.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of power erupt from my chest and the world around me went white.

(Liu's POV)

I gasped as averie's body levitated off the ground. Her normally blue eyes went white all over.

"Fight me now then." She said.

Her voice sounded like she was drowning between more voices. Like there were more people inside of her than just averie. I nodded and lunged myself at her. She quickly shifted her positions, causing me to come falling to the ground. My cheek scratched against the dead grass and hard ground. I groaned in pain and, much to my dismay, looked up.

I gasped. All around averie, the elements and a strange purple wisp swirled around her like a vicious cyclone. She sent fire in my direction, then ice in the form of sharp shards. I luckily evaded all of them. One of the shards came too close to me and nicked my ear. I began to run from averie for fear that I would die.
