Torn Family Tree (DISCONTINUED)

VII. Jeffy Boy

As soon as everyone was seated the food was placed on the table and everyone dug in. I sat with my hands in my lap. Everyone seemed so rude and greedy. It was not something I was used to. No one seemed to notice I was there. I waited until everyone's plate was full and they began to eat before I put any food on my plate. When everyone was finished they went and sat in the parlor. Slenderman stood in front of the television blocking the view despite everyone's complaining. I walked over and stood next to him and the room was quiet.

"Children, this is my cousin Kylie. You may already know who her father is. If not, it is my uncle, Offenderman. Treat her with the upmost respect. She deserves it."

A man with black hair, a white face, a carved smile, and no eyelids spoke up first.

"Hey Slendy, why does she have a face?"

"Jeff, do not be rude. I cannot explain that. Neither can she. Her father might if you would like to ask him."

"Nah, I, uh, I think I'm good."

It seemed my father was feared in this place. I was curious. He seemed so nice in the letters I had read from him. Then again, these people probably knew more about him than I did.

Slenderman and I walked back into his office to continue our conversation.

"Now, Kylie do you have any experience in killing a human being?"

"No I don't. I have been locked away in an attic bedroom for the past sixteen years."

"Yes, I'm sorry. Well before you can preform the task we discussed earlier, you will need some training. Before training can take place you will need proper introductions to the other members if the household. I seemed to have failed with that at breakfast. Please go and socialize with the others while I try again to make contact with your father.

I left his office and walked back into the parlor. There were less people in here than before. Masky and Hoodie were there. I decided to go sit with them. I didn't know them very well but they were the first people I met.

"Hey guys, mind if I sit with you?"

Masky replied first, "Yeah, sure. So, Kylie do you know anything about any of us?"

"No not at all. Should I have some previous knowledge of what I'm getting myself into?"

"Well, you might have guessed, were all kinda freaks around here."

Jeff walked in and interrupted us.

"Yeah we're all murderers too."

He licked a knife covered in a red liquid and I cringed in disgust.

"So girlie, how can a fine thing like you be related to a stiff like Slendy?"

"All I know is some guy named Sexual Offenderman is my father and Slenderman, Splendorman, and Trenderman, are my cousins."

"Really now. Thats interesting isn't it?"

"How is it interesting?"

He got up and walked away. Is everyone else as rude as him?

"S-s-sorry about J-jeff."

"It's okay Hoodie. It's better I meet a person as rude as him first so I'm not surprised later on. At least you guys aren't as rude. You actually have manors."

I watched television with Hoodie and Masky for a few hours. Slenderman came into the room followed by Jeff, whose smile seemed bigger than normal.

"Kylie, this is Jeff he will be the one training you. I understand you have not yet met anyone, but that will have to wait."

"I've already been acquainted with Jeff. I must say, I am not a fan."

"No one really is," Jeff stated annoyed, "Now can we get started. You will have to change though. Lemme know when your ready girlie."

"Masky, Hoodie, Please show Kylie what room is hers after her training. Kylie until it is furnished I have arranged for you to share a room with Sally. For now you should spend more time with Jeff."

I sighed and reluctantly agreed. Hoodie popped out of the room and returned seconds later with a change of clothes. I was then teleported into the bathroom. I decided it would be a good idea to shower and so I did. When I finished and changed I waked out of the bathroom and began to put my hair into a ponytail. To my surprise, Jeff was waiting for me when I emerged.

"Damn girlie, you look good in black. Especially when it shows off your curves."

"Stop calling me girlie! I have a name you know."

"I know but girlie is cuter."

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "Can we get this over with?"

"Sure but a ponytail won't do your hair is too long. Gotta put it up more."

"Fine whatever."

I took my hair out of the ponytail and put it in a messy bun.

"Happy now?"

"No. I prefer it down but not my choice. Combat rules."

"Oh my god. Can we go now. The faster this goes the better."

I had only been in the house for a couple hours and was already tired of Jeff. I looked out of one of the windows and noticed it was already dark. Jeff grabbed my hand and led me outside. I was not happy about training with a perv in the dark but it seemed I had no choice. I was led to the backyard of the mansion. Jeff handed me a knife.

"Here girlie, take this. First thing you gotta learn to use. Fast and easy to swing."

I rolled my eyes and took the kitchen knife, "So, what no-"

Before u could finish my question Jeff came at me full force. I dodged his attack and swung the knife at his arm. It made some contact. He took a step back shocked and came at me again. I dodged him again and took a swing at his leg. Again I made contact. I took another swing and cut him across his stomach. He was getting aggravated.

"What's the matter Jeffy boy? you afraid of getting beat by a girl?"

He charged at me again. I spun out I his path and cut him down his back. He was pissed. A crowd of house members had formed on the patio. They seemed more impressed that I was beating Jeff than actually being skilled with a weapon. Before Jeff could charge at me again, Slenderman walked in between us.

"So, Kylie, it seems you are quite skilled with a melee weapon. You might not need training after all."

I smiled in triumph. I looked over at Jeff. He was still pissed and stalked off into the forest. I looked up at Slenderman and he just shook his head. Everyone made their way into the house. I stayed outside and took off after Jeff. I felt like I needed to apologize. When I finally caught up to him, he looked more calm and collected. I slowly walked closer until I was standing beside him.

"Jeff.. I'm sorry if I offended you."

"You didn't offend me. You beat me. No one beats me."

He stood up and looked at me, "Give me your hand."

"Um.. okay. I guess."

I gave him my hand and he led me further into the woods. I was a little scared. We soon stopped at a little gravestone.

"This is my brother, Lou."

I gasped in shock. I was a little taken aback. I didn't know how to respond.

"I killed him. And my parents. I felt so bad after killing Lou. He was my little brother. I was supposed to protect him. And I didn't."

"Jeff I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry? I did it. You weren't there. No one could of stopped me."

We stood there in silence for a but before heading back to the house. When we arrived it was around midnight. A little girl in a dirty pink dress with long, brown, wavy hair, holding a teddy bear was standing on the deck. Her face was covered in blood and there were cuts along her arms and legs.
