DERANGED (Jeff the Killer P.O.V and Romance)

2 - Blue Teddybear

Upon laying my eyes on her, seeing her here, alive and real, I was at a loss for words. I wondered where they all went (the words), but I couldn't locate them.

She leaned down to inspect the child's bloodied hand and held Jenny until she stopped crying. Jenny only wimpered slowly and quietly, no longer paying attention to anything but the fact she was sleepy. Sarah then lifted Jenny up from the ground and carried her out of the room. I didn't feel like following because I could hardly stand; my legs were dead as rocks.

Sarah reappeared around 1:45am. I hadn't realized how late me and Jenny had stayed up but that was no longer important.

"What took you so long?" I asked casually with my legs crossed as I sat on Jenny's bed with my back leaned on the wall.

Sarah rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed and shocked as I was. I studied her as she closed the door behind her and locked it. Her orange locks were now what they used to be; she was blonde. I saw that she was still very skinny, although she had gained some weight, so she didn't look so much like a skeleton. Her freckled cheeks were still red as ever and her green eyes glistened in the low light. Although I knew what was coming next, I couldn't have prepared myself for it. She folded her arms across her grey tank top and leaned against the door. I smiled lightly at the bunnies that hopped on her pajama pants.

"You need to leave."

I shook my head dismissivly, "Nah, I think I'll stay."

She bowed her head down with discontentment, "I can't have you here, around Jenny."

"You've been a busy girl Sarah. I didn't think you were the 'motherly' type," I insulted, biting my bottom lip and raising an eyebrow.

"Shut up."

I snickered and shook my head distastefully, "Six years seemed to have been enough time for you to re-invent yourself. I'm glad you moved on so quickly."

"Let's not do this-"

"I'm serious. It's what had to happen, right? Although the outcome of what happened that night was I guess 'sad', everything's seemed to work out for you. That's all that matters you know, your happiness; considering I took it away for so long. No matter what happens, you deserve a normal life. A human life."

She nodded, keeping her gaze on the floor. We waited in silence for the other to say something, but neither of us did. So I gathered my knife and wiped the small amount of Jenny's blood on her pillow. Sarah gave me an annoyed look, but I simply smiled and desended from the window. Upon landing I had expected her to wave from the window with a simple "goodbye", but I was met by a sharp slam of the window sill.

Missed you too...

It had been a week since I saw Jenny or Sarah, which seemed legitament because I hadn't left the woods in days. Having Sarah back, so close to me had my skin itching with something. Was it, need? I did need her, but for what? Did I need her to love me or to die? Who knows.

I had grown antsy and wanted to know more about this man she was living with. Sarah must've met him after we had seperated, or before. She bought a house with him, unless he already owned it, and moved all the way out here just to be with him. And they had a child together. I must admit that that fact hurt. I'm not sure why, but it had. Jenny had told me she was 6, which meant Sarah must've had relations with the man before or shortly after I let her go. If it was after, that would hurt. If it was before, that would hurt even more. I try not to care, but I do.

It was night time now, and the sky was dark aside from the radiant stars that burnt holes into it. The air was cool yet warm, and strips of the wind caught in my hair. I was walking carelessly around the woods, not really knowing where I was headed when the headlights of a car caught my attention. They shone in the distance, and with curiousity peeked and my tail held high I shuffled my way to the car. It was parked in a small clearing, about the size of a large shed. I dipped down into the bushes a good 15 feet away from the pickup truck and watched as the lights went out and the rumble of the engine subsided. It was dark, but still light enough to see that the person stepping out of the car was none other than Sarah herself. I wondered why she was out here when I smelt anxiousness rolling off of her body. She quickly took out a small pack of cigarettes before flickering one up with a cheap lighter. I watched her as she began to smoke it and relax. I could smell something else on her too...guilt.
