My Peace and Serenity (A Jeff The Killer Story)

Chapter 26

((HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL JAY BIRDS,

SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN CONTENT BUT SUMMER IS HERE SO BE EXPECTING FREQUENT UPDATES.
ART ABOVE IS BY ME! IT'S MY DEPICTION OF MAMA KERSTION AND DADDY TOBY))

"Breathe in."

In the darkness of my eyelids, I obeyed. I expanded my chest and took in a deep breath in my nose.

"Find your inner happy place. Return to that place and allow the sensation of it to overcome you."

I stayed silent, letting the feeling of warm sunlight bask on my face.
I embraced the feel of it from my head all the way to my toes. Although I had relished the feeling and felt in touch my whole body, I could feel nothing else as I sat in the grass.

I opened my eyes, seeing Jeff sitting before me with intent.

"Nothing." I huffed.

It's been about three weeks since Jeff and I had left those teens bodies behind.
Since then, we've been treating each other a little different.

Neither of us really knew what to do, anymore. We couldn't take care of ourselves let alone each other. However, we came to an agreement:

We each needed to make an effort to work together; whether it was in our new found relationship or in teaching me the ways of which I needed to fight, we each tended to fight for control.

Training was put on hold until my arm was ready. Ej had taken my arm measurements a while back and left to make my prosthetic limb (which I finally broke to admit I needed).
Jeff had been left with the job of helping me communicate with my Soul.
Since my parents had frequent connections with their Souls and gained their powers from it, we've been working on talking with mine and finding powers.

So far, we know it comes out when my emotions are triggered at a fast rate--as I recalled from when the bone creatures, which i now know as the Rake, attacked me, following my falling on my arm shortly after.
I had told Jeff how I felt elated, how I felt the same sensation when I got lost in my music.

However, since Jeff never learned how abilities are stemmed, he simply took the information and linked it with my Soul trying to emerge.
He really doesn't  know what he's doing, but, frankly,  I don't either.

No one said it would be easy.

"Not a peep?" Jeff asked, a bit of shock in his voice.

"Nada. I didn't feel anything, hear anything. It was just quiet"

Jeff sighed and fell back in the grass.
" We've been trying to reach your Soul for three weeks, now! How badly does it want to hide?!"

Crawling over to him, I snuggled beside him, an arm draped over his chest.
"I don't know. He was loud and clear when I attacked Alice and when I was in pain."

Jeff nodded, "That may just be it protecting you. Remember, if you die it doesn't reincarnated like you would. They tend to protect their host more often than not."

Glancing up at Jeff I rested my head on his chest, feeling the rise and fall in his breathing.
"What if it stays that way? What if I never hear from it?"

"You will" he answered, rubbing the top of my head and proceeding to kiss it.

Smiling, I lift my head and hover over his upper body. We met each other in a kiss and proceeded to enter a heated make out session, a hand on my back and the other behind my ear, his thumb tracing my jaw line.

I swung a leg over his body and he leaned up so I sat in his lap as we kissed. My hand held his face as we kissed passionately rocking gently back and forth.
Our kisses died down to a few soft pecks and I rested my forehead against his, biting my lip in content.
