Jeff the Killer

Night

I wake up to bright white lights. I rub my eyes awake and sit up.

I'm in a hospital bed.

What happened?

If I'm in the hospital shouldn't I awake to my parents, my brother, or even Rose.

I look around and my phones on a small desk. I move slowly thinking something was going to ache but nothing hurts. I get up and cross the room to get my phone.

Woah.

In the mirror (over the desk) shows a totally different person.

I turn my head left then right.

That's me?

My hair is a dark black color now. My bangs are still long but I push them out of my face so I can see the new me.

My eyes look creepier. They don't even look like my human eyes. My smile looks sharper. I don't have that ugly tan color. My skin is pale white. I keep staring and I just can't stop.

I think I love this new look.

I love my smile the most. I don't ever want to stop smiling.

The door opens and my mother and a doctor walk in.

"Jeff were going home now." My mom says.

She has fear in her voice. I wonder if she is scared of me. I keep smiling.

The doctor looks scared too.

I walk out with my mom to the parking lot. My dad is waiting in the car.

He looks at me for a quick second then looks away.

I sit in the back seat and neither of them speak to me.

The whole ride home is in silence.

When we get home I'm the first one out of the car. I pass Liu sitting on the couch and head straight to my room.

I look in my mirror.

I stand there for what feels like forever.

My phone vibrates in my pocket.

       Rose.

"Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah. I look brand new. I like my new self."

"Come over tomorrow around 2. I wanna see this new Jeff."

"Okay. Love You Rose."

"Love You Jeff<3"

I put my phone back in my pocket and find my knife still in there.

I take it out and play around with it.

Rose is going to love this new smile.

.....

Maybe I should make it bigger?

Liu walks in.

I turn around and his expression changes from hello brother to who the hell are you.

"Jeff?" He says looking scared.

"Yeah." I say.

I turn back and continue looking in the mirror smiling.

"What happened today?" He says.

He sits on my bed. Looking around my room.

"I took Rose out yo go ice skating. I suck at it." I tell him.

"Me too Jeff..... Umm what else happened? Like why did you have to g to the hospital"

"You know Randy and his gang of douches. They showed up near Roses house. Randy punched me in the face hard and I blacked out. Then I woke up like this." I turn and smile at him.

He looks at me and I could see fear in his eyes. He looks away.

I stare back at the mirror.

"I like my new look. Don't you Liu?"

"Sure. I just got to get used to it." He says.

"Well it's been a long day Liu. I think I'm going to get ready for bed. I want to go Roses house early tomorrow."

"Okay bro. Night." He says.

He looks at me one more time but doesn't look that scared any more. He then walks out.

I crawl into bed and close my eyes.

I can't sleep though.

Hours and hours pass. It's now 4:00 on the morning.

I get up and turn on my light.

It's dark outside and the only sound is of a stupid cat meowing at its loudest.

I get my knife and put it on my pocket.

I sneak downstairs.

Not a sound in the house.

I open the front door and stay on the porch just listening.

Where is that stupid cat?

There.

The black cat is walking across the empty street meowing.

I start walking to it. It turns and looks at me.

I bend down and start to pet it. It purrs.

I pick it up and keep petting it.

With my other hand I take the knife out of my pocket.

Click.

The cat purrs and I shove the knife into its chest and it screams.

I thrust the knife deeper and it stops screaming.

It's eyes stare at me and I could feel it's soul pour out. I pull the knife out and start cutting its mouth to look like a smile.

It looks so happy now.

It's head tilts back and around its neck is a collar.

Night

"Well Night. Have a happy night." I say with a huge smile.

I walk down the street and put the cat on a random persons lawn.

I clean my knife on there grass then start walking back home.

"Now I can sleep in peace."
