Can't Go Back (Jeff the killer story)

Chapter 10

That's not all though, there's a hunched over figure in the bath tub, the curtains blocking my complete view, so I hesitantly approach it. I readied my knife and yanked back the curtain...

My eyes grew with horror as I looked upon the young child huddled in the tub, I thought it was dead until the soft whimpers exited it's mouth. "Hey, hey you're okay, you're safe now." I said in a soothing voice, while reaching out to the what seemed to be a him. Just as my finger tips touched his back, his hand shot out and snatched ahold of my wrist. I tried to pull away but when he turned to face me I was stunned. Hunter... His eyes were cold, and glossy. Staring deep into my soul, my body shivered but still couldn't shake him off. A large grin appeared on his face, then he started to giggle. I was so confused, till he snapped my wrist and broke it like a twig. Instantly I broke into screams and cries. "Let me go! Please hunter! What is going on with you!" He grabbed my index finger and yanked it, dislocating the bones. "GAHHHH!!!" I yelled, tears streaming down me face. I am pathetic in this moment, not even having the will to fight back. Slowly lowering to the ground and titling my head in shame, hunter stood up towering above me. "Look at me weakling." He commanded but it wasn't his voice, it was too low for an 8 year old. He sounded almost demonic, sending gut wrenching fear into me. I lifted my face to look at his, full of terror my body trembled in his grasp. "Pease Hunter, what happened to you??" I asked, drawing shaky breaths. "I am not this 'hunter' you speak of, I am lord Zalgo. I am in your head, I am the beast under your bed. The nightmare you wake up screaming from, I haunt you in daylight and darkness." He leans in to my face. "I am your darkest imagination coming to life." Now I was trembling and fearful for my life, even with all my training, I am useless. This is my little cousin, the cute kid I always use to tease and wrestle with. The kid that would yell at me for taking his chips, and then right after that be asking me to play soccer. He's like a younger brother to me, and I couldn't hurt him, never could I hurt him.

This isn't Hunter, this is Zalgo, you can kill him. Do it. Kill him. Strike, slash, stab. Kill! Kill! Kill!

"NO I CAN'T!! I Won't do it!!" I screeched.

"What? What won't you do!? Haha there's nothing you can do, you're going to die. First I'm going to make you suffer though."
He chuckled. "You've lost."

"No, I haven't. You're not Hunter, I can hurt you, even kill you." I said glaring at him.

"Pft, you can't even ball your fist because I broke your hand. You're weak, you're a little girl, nothing, useless. No one needs you, no one loves you. Kiss your life goodbye." He reaches for my throat.

Before he can I slash him with my knife still clasped in my left hand. It slices just below his eyes. "Ahhhh!! You little!!!" He swipes the knife at me, cutting my arm, blood spilling all over myself. It hurts but its not deadly. I thrashed and kicked and even tried to bite him, nothing worked. Until I figured out something. He's in a boy's body, there's always a weakness for boys. Quickly I plunged my knee into his lower region. He gasped and stumbled back, holding his private parts. I took the moment to get up and run. When I turned the corner outside the door I ran into an exhausted Jeff. My mind was racing and heart pounding.

What's he doing here? Has he been here the whole time or just now show up? 

"Jeff what are you doing-" before I could finish my question a loud roar erupted from inside. We both snapped our heads to face it, then looked back at eachother.

" I'm here to save your ass darlin" Jeff said. A smirk formed on his lips, widening the deep cuts in his cheeks. He softy pushed my aside and went after Zalgo. Only about 10 second later Jeff came flying out the door. "JEFF!" I yelled and ran to his side. He coughed and blood spilled out of his mouth. I looked for the cause and found a stab wound in his abdomen. I had to get him out of here quickly, and save him. First though I had to get rid of Zalgo, but how. My mind filled with memories of Hunter and Jeff and my family. I grew angry, and got up. "Anna n-no he's too strong, y-y-you will d-die" Jeff stuttered while spitting blood.

"Shhh Jeff, go to sleep, I'll be okay." I whispered. He fought off the sleep but it pulled him under when his head fell back.

I stood up, and turned towards Zalgo. Rage lit up in me and my eyes burned. Power surged through my body, and to my fingertips. Since only my left hand was in good condition I raised it to the sky and drew in the Lightning. Sparks came raining down, filling me with strength. Bright electricity bounced around me, just waiting to be let loose, I gladly released all of it into Zalgo. His eyes widened as the Lightning shot towards him, it coursed though his veins shutting down every organ in his body. Last was his heart, and his eyes returned to normal, just before he collapsed he whispered. "A-Anna..." Then hunters body fell limp.

I bolted towards my cousin and fell to my knees. I scooped up his body and cried, my soul wrenched and I screamed. It took a few minutes to remember something more important in this moment. Jeff. I couldn't carry him, instead I reached for the closest sharp object, Jeffs knife, and carved an x within a big circle in my arm. Calling to slender, it seemed to get through to him because in no less than 5 seconds he appeared. "Oh lord child! What has happened!???" He asked worriedly. My head was throbbing and I felt myself slipping into unconsciousness. Before my eyes closed i told him one last thing. "Zalgo."  Then it went black.
