The Killer Duo

Chapter 9- Back to work

Jane managed to pull her unconscious mentor onto the bed as she pulled off his white sweatshirt and black jeans that had collected some dust while he was on the ground. She also put the toy box she took out from Jeff's sweatshirt and placed it right by the nightstand where an alarm clock and a lamp were sitting on.

The girl wondered if she should change Jeff into some comfortable clothing for bedtime but she didn't want to wake him up since that he might go nuts if she did something wrong that he is not pleased with. In addition, she doesn't even know if he might be awake or if he is just learning to sleep with his eyes wide open. She went to the bathroom quickly to grab a wash cloth and rinse it with warm water before she came back into the bedroom to check on his wounds.

Unwrapping the bandages slowly, Jane held her breath as she prepared for the worst. Her eyebrows raised up in surprise as she looked at Jeff's rough hands. Wasn't there suppose to be scratch marks on them? She blinked her eyes and looked closely to be sure that she wasn't seeing things. It seems like the scratch marks disappeared from his hands.

She traced the disappeared scratch marks on his hands with her right pointer finger very slowly. "What exactly happened here?" She wondered out loud. She never even noticed this happen before, she even checked on Jeff's stab wound he got after his fight with Slenderman and found that the wound had vanished as well. Her fingers traced where the stab wound once was as gently as she could. Jeff did not even stir from the touch.

"Oh well, I will have to ask him what happened later." Jane told herself as her hand reluctantly moved away from her sleeping mentor. "It could be possible that he found some sort of medicine to heal the wounds. I should get some sleep." She pushed herself up from the bed and walked over toward the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a quick shower.

After the shower is done, Jane dressed herself with a white nightgown she found in the closet and dried her long hair as best as she could. The female killer is now ready to go to sleep as she slowly crept under the bed sheets and makes sure that she did not disturb Jeff as he remained motionless in the bed. She forced herself to turn to her right side so that she did not have to stare at his unblinking gaze, "One of these days, I have to get use to those eyes." She muttered as she planned to do exactly that when she relaxes around him more.

She still feels a little bit apprehensive around Jeff when his condition is a concern, so she promised herself that she would try not to make him angry because she knows that if she does that he would possibly try to hurt her. Jane took a deep breath as she closed her eyes and entered into a deep slumber.

Some time in the middle of the night, Jane felt a strange presence watching her from the window. The girl stood up straight while in bed and checked at the window, seeing nobody in sight. Cautiously, Jane took her knife that is laid on the nightstand right by the toy box and got out of the bed slowly, creeping toward the window to see what was there. The presence was still lingering outside as she got closer and closer.

Could it be Slenderman checking up on her? Jane wondered if he had already taken care of the Unwanted House Guest as she peeked through the clear window, searching as far as the forest outside of the house.

There was no sign of Slendy waiting right by the trees. Jane sighed, "I need to stop worrying about him." She knows that Slendy can take care of himself in the forest, so she decided to turn around and go back to bed. But before she could turn away, something inside of one of the trees caught her attention.

Studying the tree carefully, Jane thought she spotted a blue face staring at her in the darkness, far away from the house where it could watch her. She tried to identify where the rest of his body was in the darkness, but all she could catch a glimpse was his face before he vanished into the dark where she could not seek him out.
