Jeff and the Succubus [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 4 - A New Girl?

Candie’s P.O.V

        I woke up to sunlight beaming in my face, the sound of birds chirping outside. Groaning, I slowly opened my eyes, hissing as the light blinded me before my eyes finally adjusted. I attempted to get up, but collapsed back onto the floor, my body screaming in protest. Giving up on a normal way of moving, I unfolded my wings and decided to just hover everywhere, my legs failing me. Looking to my left, I saw Jeff sprawled out on the floor. He was unconscious, but his eyes were wide open.

        “Creepy,” I shuddered, cringing a little. I guess that proves he doesn’t have eyelids. I looked around the house for the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My clothes were ripped in different places from knife attacks, my hair looked like a hurricane hit it right after a tornado came through, and my usually beautiful, unblemished skin had stab wounds, slices, and bruises everywhere, blood dried up and attempting to heal. I was going to have to find some targets or else it’ll take forever to heal properly. After checking if the water still worked for the house, I turned on the shower. Luckily, this house was just recently abandoned and the gas was still on. I stripped and took my human form. My wings looked like exotic, intricate tattoos on the shoulder blades of my back and my tail was a tattoo that wrapped around my leg and stopped above my knees. I stepped into the hot water and let the heat ease the pain and stiffness in my muscles away. After a minute of soaking, I started to rinse the blood off and rinse my hair. I have to remember to get soap, shampoo, and conditioner when I go out today.

        After my rinse, I got out and put back on the ripped clothes. I wandered through the house and found a pair of shorts that were cut so the pockets hung out the bottom and a v-neck tee, which on me had a pretty low V and showed a lot of cleavage. I wrapped my damp hair in a messy bun and started back in the direction of the front of the house. When I got to the living room, though, no one was there. I know I'd left Jeff in here on the floor, but there was nobody, not even a trace of someone being here.

        "Jeff? Helloo?" I called out, walking around the empty room. "I’m sorry about last night, if you're still upset,"

        "He has left to kill, child," I turned and Slendy was behind me.

        "Oh. Do you know when he's coming back?" I asked. I kinda felt bad that I started a fight. Well, sort of.

        "Whenever he deems fit to come back. He is his own master, after all." Slendy shrugged then disappeared. I thought about that for a while. Jeff being his own master and having freedom to do whatever he wanted, however he feels. Sighing, I shook my head and walked out of the house, setting out to find Jeff.

        I soared above the town at a height where I wouldn’t be spotted, but still able to see the street clearly. I was scanning the roads when I spotted a familiar van. It was the same van that used to pick up my girlfriend when she had her psychotic rampages. I chuckled at the memories of having to go check her out of the mental institute when they took custody of her. I always had to lie and say I was some sort of legal guardian, a sister, a cousin, an aunt, anything, so they’ll let me take her. She would keep the straight jackets as a type of memento and tie them around her waist, like an accessory. Out of habit, I followed the van to the institute. I actually hadn’t seen her in the last few months, which is probably why I lose control so easily these days. She was the one person who could calm me down and keep me at bay when I was slipping under the control of the demon inside. Jeff reminded me of her. His insanity, his sarcasm, even the way he kills people. Yeah, she killed, but she couldn’t help it. It was a kind of tick she had, the reason she was always in that institute. It didn’t help that she saw ghosts either. After that mental breakdown when she was younger, she can’t really control much of what she does, she just does it.
