Haunted by Screams (Jeff the Killer)

Chapter 39. Come, run away with me love

Sunlight shone through dirty windows as Nora slowly began opening her eyes toward the bright light. It stung as she carefully rubbed them from last night's happening. The memory of what had happened felt bleak and foggy, although she soon felt redness creep up onto her cheeks as Jeff leaned against the wall with arms crossed, staring at her from across the room.

"Slept well?" the greasy voice asked as Nora turned her face away from the killer, blushing even harder.

"Yeah? I think so at least.." Voice no more than a whisper compared to Jeff's. He stood up straight before making his way toward her sitting down on the mattress next to her. They both sat in silence for what felt like an eternity before it became needed to break it. Nora glanced carefully at Jeff whose gaze was not toward her but somewhere else. She supposed she'd be the one to say it, the redness creeping further upon her cheeks as she swallowed loudly.

"I, think I feel something about you. I don't know what, if it's love or just some strange and weird attraction - I can't say. But, there is... definitely something, something I can't deny any longer, although I must admit I'd rather want to..." Her heart was beating so loudly Jeff must be able to hear it as she finished her sentence and hugged her knees. She bit the tip of her tongue while her lips felt dry as a desert.

Jeff's breathing sounded heavy and rough as his insane eyes locked themselves onto the wooden boards in the floor, as a mean of resting them. The permanently smile of that of a madman no-longer gave Nora goosebumps, although it still sometimes could creep her a bit out when seeing them in the dark since they stood out fairly much. Nora could not help but wonder what thoughts went through the boy's mind as she began regretting having confessed to him. Yet, she needed to say those words, or else they would have eaten her up completely.

"Tsk, humans are so... weird really"

Nora felt her heart drop as something within her had hoped that he at least would have acknowledged the happing during the night, as it in matter of factly, had been as much on Jeff as on her. Had it not meant anything to him at all?

"Although, I suppose... I share that weirdness with you Norh." He turned toward her slowly as she realized he'd just used the nickname Jessica had been calling her for as long as she could remember. His white burnt fingers ran through her locks as he sat there mesmerized by them.

"I'm incapable of feeling love Nora, haven't you figured that out yet? However," his thumb caught a lock and brought it toward his nostrils, taking her scent in completely "I feel something for you. A great desire to possess you, to own you and to make sure you're mine and mine only" His white eyes looked right through her as he searched for her gaze and found it.

"That is all you're gonna get from me, don't expect anything else - for your own good"

"I don't, and I won't" Nora answered silently as memories from the night before began nestling itself back into her mind, making her blush once again.

The sex in itself hadn't been bad or too hurtful, although it had been her first time. It was simply something she had needed - and something she believed Jeff had needed as-well no matter how much he would deny it. Therefore the both of them had let it happened.

Did she regret it?

No, no she actually didn't. Although she could not tell if Jeff shared her point of view.

A slightly pain from her shoulder and abdomen was her only evidence that last night had actually happened. She gazed onto her shoulder where a darkish bruise from a handprint rested. Jeff followed her gaze and she could feel how a wage smile haunted his expression as the memories from last night occupied his mind too.
