LAUGHING JACK

AN OLD APPRENTICE RETURN

A week has passed since Jack was so close to Natalia he head backs to his warehouse he called home and where most of his happiest memories lies with her, he can never look at anything the same way as he use to before everything around him reminds him of her in one way or another heck even his own bed reminds him a lot of her from when they cuddled together, watched video, talk. There isn't a day that goes by when he thinks of her. "Man I was so stupid..." Jack mumbles to himself looking down wishing for a day where he can go back in time and change what has happen so he can keep for a bit longer. "You know the thing about love?" a familiar female voice can be heard "It doesn't always last and work out the way you plan." Jack looks around and up and see a girl with long black hair, a strip sweater, ripped jeans and black shoes. "Milena." Jack mumbles. "Master." Milena giggles and then Jack quickly says "SHUT IT! I AM NOT YOUR MASTER! I ENDED THAT!" Jack clench his fist staring at her. "You only ended it because Natalia didn't like it but she didn't like it from the start and you kept me for 3 months so if you knew she didn't like it from the start why you keep me?" Milena questions Jack, as Jack stands there "because I..." He start to talk but doesn't find the right words. "Because what?" Milena pressure Jack for an answer. "I thought...." Jack replies again but not knowing the right words. "Thought I...." He stutters "I could get you 2 to be friends.....so she has someone there for when I'm not around..." Jack answers look up at her as she stand in a window frame with the moon shining upon her. "And look how well that went. " She mocks Jack as Jack doesn't even face his old apprentice he just keep his eyes on the ground. "Why won't you look at me?" Milena began to questions him "what wrong? cant face your old apprentice or is it something else...?" Milena tries to figure it out "It is because I remind you of her?" As soon as she says that she sees Jack tense up clenches his fist harder. "It is isn't it? I can tell you're too scared to look at anything that reminds you of her because the memories hurt you don't they?" Milena  carries on questioning Jack. "Look at you. The worlds most famous mass murder broken over a heart break. Look how far you fallen." Milena tries to get in Jacks head. "I regret ever brining you here I should have left you." Jack says whilst looking down still not bothering to look at her. "Well you can regret ALLL you want but you cant change the past. What done is done, what happened happen and you cant change any of that no matter how much you hope or regret or wish you will never get her back. No matter how hard you try." Milena start to get in his head as Jack start to shake with emotions flowing threw is body like a flood flowing through a city or town it start to tear him apart. Milena smiles knowing what she's doing. "There no point in waiting for her to come back either." As Milena says that Jack stops shaking and slowly looks up confused Jack asked "Wh-what do you mean...?" He stares as her wanting an answer. "Did you not know?" She looks at him. "She started to have feelings for someone else." As those words leave her mouth Jack place his hand over the place where his heart use to be now it torn apart into millions of pieces as he falls to one knee still looking down. "still gonna wait for her?" Milena ask Jack but Jack doesn't reply he just look down still on one knee shaking and being ripped apart with the emotions he cant control. "It true she started to liked someone else. Do you know what you are to her now?" She asked but Jack still doesn't reply. "Well I'm gonna tell you anyway." She smirk as she says. "You're a memory to her, a memory, a bad memory, a  memory she's willing and wanting to forget." Jack tenses up after hearing this and Milena just stares laughing internally. "But...you're a bad memory to her as well" Jack softly speak as Milena easily reply. "I don't like her as you do so I don't care if I'm a bad memory or not it doesn't effect me as much it effects you hehe." She laughs at him seeing him like this bring her joy for some strange unknown reason. "How does it feel knowing someone you said you deeply once loved and cared about is now falling for someone else? How would it make you feel to see her in someone else's arms?" As Milena carries on questioning Jack harshly. "she isn't coming back  no matter what you do or say she's gone." Milena carry on firing these insults at Jack slowly breaking him from the inside. "You...don't know her...she'll come back she promised she said she will when she ready." Jack spoke softly with the words from his broken heart. "HAHAHA!" Milena laughs at Jack's statement. "I may not know her but nor do you. She changed she had to cause she knew if she stayed the same all she'll remember is...you so she changed for the best for her." Milena smiles with a big smile on her face staring deeply as the broken, torn apart Jack. "You have no idea what you have done." Milena states and it was at that point Jack clench his fist hard and shakes with pure anger and rage "I KNOW WHAT I DONE I KNOW WHAT I DID IT WAS ME. ME, ME, ME, MEEE I ADMIT IT OKAY? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO ADMIT WHAT I DONE? I MADE THE RELATIONSHIP TOXIC I MADE PROMISES AND DIDNT KEEP THEM!!" Jack yells with a deeper voice and more demonic also with anger and a bit of sadness as tears roll from his eyes but Milena see a change in Jack's appearance as he stood up his body changed for once he had black and white strips on his legs and torso is now changed to red and black, his hair still black but at the ends it turn a sudden red and even his soulless black eyes now turned a bloodshot red with the anger and range Jack is consumed with. "I MADE PROMISES AND I DIDNT KEEP THEM! I SAID I WOULD CHANGE AND I DIDNT!I KNOW WHAT I DONE I KILLED PEOPLE, I KILLED CHILDREN I TORN FAMILIES APART WITH THE LOST OF THEIR LOVED ONES BUT I DIDNT CARE I HAD A GIRL I LOVED I CARED FOR SHE WAS AND STILL IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT GIRL MAYBE SHE'LL FIND SOMEONE WHO BETTER THAN ME!! MAYBE SHE'LL LOVE SOMEONE ELSE AND MAYBE THAT SOMEONE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISES HE MAKES BUT THIS IS IT THIS IS MY SIN MY BIGGEST SIN THAT I WILL CARRY THOUGHOUT MY LIFE KNOWING THAT IS WAS MY ACTION THAT MADE HER LEAVE AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT I STILL GOT HOPE FOR A FUTURE WHERE ME AND HER GET BACK TOGETHER!" Jack stand there with his fist clench "I WONT LET YOU TORMENT ME ANY LONGER.....THIS.....ENDS.....NOW!" Jack unclench his fist and his fingers morphed into bright red blade."Woah." Milena think to herself in her head "I wanted to anger him and torment him I didn't know it'll end up this way." Milena smirk "A question if I may ask?" Milena asked while looking at Jack's new appearance. "If you claimed you love her and cared about her...why did you make her feel the relationship was sooo toxic the only way to change it was to end it?" She asked staring at the Crimson Jack ."BECAUSE I WAS STUPID I DID SUTPID THINGS, THINGS I NOW REGRET, THINGS I WILL CHANGE FOR HER BACK!" As Jack says this he jumps up and rushes at Milena who quickly get out the way and jumps onto the ground. A thud is heard as she looks up she sees the Crimson Jack standing at 6'5ft tall with his new look staring at her deeply filled with boiling rage and fiery anger. "If it a fight..." Milena says as she pulls out her kitchen knife "A fight you shall have."
