Blood Covered Roses

Chapter 2

His gaze held me in place and wouldn't let me move. His finger still on my chin lifting my face up to see his. I was completely frozen by fear and by curiosity. It was him. I said over and over in my head. His paper white skin glowed with the moon light that poured into my room. A perfect Chelsea grin carved into his face. His shocking blue eyes with black rings around them stared down at me. He grinned removing his finger from my chin but his eyes were still locked on mine which never granted me freedom from his gaze.
He chuckled again breaking the deafening silence.
" Usually I can read people.... I can't seem to tell if your nervous or not"
I gulped hard and tried to slow my breathing down. " Uh.. " I took a deep breathe before I continued. " you.... uh... w-why... b-but... you're..."
he quickly grabbed my throat with his hand making me hold my breath. My eyes widened and I looked into his eyes as his face got close to mine.
"Shhhh...." he smirked.
I could hear my heart pounding in my head and my face grew hot and red. He looked at me puzzled and saw my face grow red. He chuckled under his breath and moved his hand from my throat. He harshly grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet into the moonlight that came through my window. He peered down at my face, his hand snaked it's was to my waist pulling me closer to him.
" Hmm... Luna. It means moon...correct?"
I nodded not saying a word.
He looked at me with a straight face.
"I..... won't hurt you... Luna."
A puzzled look was on my face and I slowly pulled away. Looking at him up and down I noticed he was a lot taller than expected and quite muscular. His black hair was to his shoulders and covers most of his face. All I could see was the permanent smile carved into his face.
"Jeff.... the killer" I muttered to myself but loud enough for him to hear. As he heard me say his name a shit eating grin formed from the corner of his lips.
" you.... know... this is kinda... a dream. It's not real."
His grin grew wider
" you're so sure about that too, Luna."
He grabbed my hand and forced it on his face making my hand all bloody from his mouth. He let go of my hand as I traced my fingers along his face.
Oh shit. Wait. My eyes grew.
" wait.... your.... n-no.. your.....r-real?!"
Almost yelling he put his hand over my mouth to hush me. He put his finger over his lips signing shhh to tell me to keep quiet.
" don't get to damn loud ass hat. If you wake people up I'll have to kill them.... And you along with em' "
I nodded my head letting him know I understand. He walked over to my bed and plopped himself down with his hands behind his head.
" wait so..... w-why are you here? Your not... going t-"
" no."
He cut me off before I could say anything. He stretched out a little more on my bed
" so that's it? No? Then why are you here? Where did you come from? Does that me the others are real too?"
He rolled his eyes at me
" your annoying......I'm too tired for this shit"
He sighed
" too many damn questions. Look, I came from the woods. Yea they are real too and I'm here because...."
He trailed off as if he didn't want to say it.
" because?"
I repeated asking again. He growled and answered
" because for the past few years I've been keeping taps on you... more like...."noticed " you. I've even killed those who were..... complete assholes to you."
I my bottom lip quivered and I moved to my bed sitting beside him. He looked across to me brushing his hands through my hair. I was nervous still because he was a killer but there was a strange feeling for a moment. Like I've known him for a while.
Fucking crazy right? Friends with a killer? It's somewhere in the A.M so I know I'm not gonna think straight.
He kissed my cheek leaving a small bloody mark and instantly pulled me from my thoughts. I looked at him shocked.
" you'll be home soon"
He said as he got up for his knife. Just before he jumped from the window I grabbed his hoodie.
" Jeff... what do you mean "home"? You still didn't tell me what you wanted from me "
He kiss my forehead this time and jumped out the window. My hand brushed over the spec of blood where he kissed me. Completely Confused more than ever, I still have a hard time believing this was real.
I walked to my bed and layed down. 4:08am
I sighed and pulled the covers over drifting to a deep sleep.
