Close the Walls (Eyeless Jack X Reader)

Chapter 7; Kill Me

I turn to Jack and just nod, I smiled an empty smile. I turn back towards the dark woods, his steps echoed off the cave walls. I took a deep breath and calmed myself down, I crossed my arms and ignored Jack walking up next to me. I noticed that it started to rain slightly, I quickly turned towards the entrance.

...Jack's POV...

I watched her stare out and then she quickly went back in, I followed and found her trying to push a large slab of stone over the entrance. I look at her confused and she just continued to try. She sighed and shook her head, "I give up." She sat down on the floor frustrated, I walked of to my sweat shirt and felt it. It was still damp, I turn to see her throwing more wood in the the pit. I moved towards her, she continues to ignore me. My eyes trail up and I notice a huge whole in the ceiling, it sat above the fire pit. Rain started to to come through it, the fire sizzled and hissed slightly.

She let out a small yawn and shook her head trying to stay awake, I walked over to her and sighed. "Need any help? You seem tired, you should get some rest." I said with a half smile, even though she couldn't see it.

"N-no, I'll be fine... I just need to keep busy." she said softly keeping her gaze on the fire wood.

"But you should sleep, it's important and--" I get cut of by her snapping back at me.

"THAN YOU SHOULD GET SLEEP, LIKE I SAID I'LL BE FINE!!" she yelled at me, I was surprised by her sudden outburst.

"Hey! What the HELL did I do, I've only ever been nice to you! I knew I should've KILLED you when I had the chance, YOU WERE PRACTICALLY DEAD WHEN I FOUND YOU!! I should've just ripped your guts out right then and there but--"

"Then do it, JACK! Why the FUCK should it matter, death seems like the best option! KILL ME! JUST DO IT, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THROWING ME IN THAT FIRE RIGHT THERE! OR GRABBING A KNIFE FROM UNDER THE MAKESHIFT BED IN THE CORNER! Anything would be better than, the nightmare l'm living! Everything I knew was a lie, and the only man who was going to answer ALL my questions is now DEAD!" she screamed at me, "LEAVE! Just leave... please, I can't take the stress anymore." she started to calm down, (Y/N) looked down.

She turned back to the fire wood, she went dead silent. I felt my heart sink, I don't understand why I feel this way! I turn away from her and walk over to my hoodie and pull it down, I felt it, it was completely dry. I take my mask off and slip my hoodie back on, I quickly put my mask on. I glance back at her and she was looking at me, she turned away as soon as she could but I saw her. "I am going for a walk..." I said my voice almost emotionless, all I heard from her was a faint sigh.

...(Y/N)'s POV...

I listen to his footsteps slowly disappear, I fell down the the cold rock. I pulled my knees to my chest and fold my arms around them, I felt so alone... so scared.
