Reminiscence (Eyeless Jack X Reader)

Chapter 16

~New home dear~

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.:

I made the neutral face of disappointment as I found myself in the woods, alone. That blue masked cannibal asshole left me alone in the woods, with the possibility if being kidnapped by Slender, the tall octopus that is threatening my life... and sanity. I stood up and looked around, the woods were dense, the bushes were dense, but they were pushed apart, as if something had been passing by them so much that they were pushed away from each other. With a blink, I decided to follow the path.

As I walked on the small path with leaves grinding under my converse. Pushing through what seemed like the last layer of bushes, I emerged into a giant clearing. With a very familiar figure at the other end opposite of me. I blinked at the figure, the black figure, suddenly disappeared, and left me staring at a blank place.

I walked ahead into the middle of the clearing, it was silent, peaceful, quite, and quite late. The stars were shining in the sky brightly like diamonds, small pearls, or perhaps rhinestones. The moon shone like a white lily, well, it was beautiful, until a face, or the lack of it, appeared right in front of me making me shriek and fall down. I quickly closed my eyes, not wanting to look him in the eye and risk getting taken, or losing my sanity.

When I heard rustling of leaves, I opened my eyes, only to find myself in the middle of a small patch of land surrounded by a lake, which seemed to stretch deep into an abyss.

I felt a presence behind me and saw EJ, he tilted his head, and held out a hand, and pushed me down, into the abyss like lake. I saw appendages behind EJ and the familiar moon like face showing itself behind the man with the blue mask.

I felt myself collide with the surface of water, the cold enveloped me and I couldn't move. The water quickly soaked through my clothes, attacking my skin with it's temperature, and soaking my hair. Unable to move, I just stared at the rippling face of the moon, and the rippling forms of the twinkling stars as I felt myself being pulled deeper and deeper into the abyss. Seaweed wrapped themselves around me as I started feeling the loss of oxygen. On intinct, my body tried to take in oxygen, only to take in water, the burning sensation filled my head and ears, dulling my senses.

I screamed as I sat up, soaking wet to the bone, literally, and in front of me stood EJ with an empty bucket in his hands.

"Oh, so you're finally awake" he said and placed the bucket on the floor. My head shot in all directions as I found myself in a.... cabin? It was made of wood, I was in the living room, on a couch. On one side, there was a entrance door, the entrance to the house as the window beside it showed the forest and the porch.

"W-where are we?" I looked at my captor.

"Didn't we discuss that already, this is my home" EJ told me.

"Why did you wake me up? And so rudely not to mention" I crossed my arms.

"You looked too peaceful" he said with sarcasm lacing his tone "You should clean up your room if you want to sleep in there, Ihaven't touched it in three years" he said and added "the master bedroom is off limits, and so is the refrigerator." He finished "and you better not try to run, or escape, it won't end up nicely for you."

"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever" I wrapped my arms around myself as cold air hit me through the open window, "anyways, I need a change of clothes since you so generously decided to wake me graciously with the help of a bucket of water, and of course, a change of bandages" I glared at him, and then looked at the bandages on my arms and stomach.

"Fine" he sighed "you can take my clothes this one time.... you still made my effort in bandaging you useless" He said and walked outside the house. I sighed and mentalist thought about how it's his fault for drenching me in the first place and stood up, looking around. The entrance of the house was behind me, on my left, and on my right was the window on the back wall. On the wall to my right, there was another window, a bit bigger, but well made. On the wall in front of me, on my left there was square room with a few doors, and on my close right, there was another room. I went inside the room and saw the kitchen. The shelves were spacey and empty. I furrowed my brows and looked around. The refrigerator caught my attention. I walked over to it, opened it and immediately closed it, there were jars and jars full of organs. On the left wall, there was window above the stove, convenient On the left to the wall opposite of the entrance door, there was the laundry room, with another door leading to the back yard, which was only trees after a small clearing.

I went back to the living room and went to the square room. There were four rooms, beginning from my right, there was the bathroom, the master bedroom, with a closet, another room.... full of..... medical stuff, it seemed like a room a mad doctor would use. The last room was the bedroom... full of dust and cobwebs. The master bedroom had two windows while my bedroom has two, but on two separate walls. One overlooked the porch.

I sighed and went to EJ's closet, it was full of.... deep midnight blue hoodies, black pants, leather gloves, a spare mask.... some black shirts, and a very few casual clothes. I picked up a shirt, and his pants. I went to the bathroom and quickly changed my clothes, and exited the bathroom. I did sneak peak at every crook and cranny of the house and noticed just how..... dirty it all was.

EJ came back in from the front door, and looked at me, he grumbled something under his breath and spoke up "the bandages are in my.... lab" and went to his room.

I just blinked at his weird behaviour and shrugged it off, before to leave my wound open, I'll bandage it after I finish cleaning. I took all the cleaning supplies from the storage in the laundry room, I pulled everything to the living room and set up my equipment. With a determined expression I started working.

I began with the laundry room, washing up the machines, baskets, the floor, faucets and buckets, I put the dirty floor mats in a corner with the covers, and clothes feeling of blood, belonging to none other than the cannibal resting in his room. I cleaned all the shelves and everything in the kitchen, even the oven. Not missing a corner, or a window.

I worked with the bathroom next, which was easy. I decided to leave the now somehow locked medical room and worked on the living room. It took me time, and attention as some animals settled on the windowsill outside, watching me. I carefully cleaned the television, sofa, air conditioner, the windows and the door. I cleaned the porch, aware of EJ who watched me from inside the house as I cleaned the blood drops and a few dead insects off the porch. With that done, I went to my room, I washed the floor, I removed the bedsheets and dusted the mattress, and removed the pillow cases, cleaned the wooden bed. Found new bedsheets, curtains and other stuff, in a heap of dirt. I stared out all the spiders, and cleaned the closet. I rechecked every corner till I was sure it was all clean.

With my stuff in hand, I went to EJ's room and cleaned every speck of dirt as EJ watched me. When I was done cleaning, I pushed EJ off the bed and as he yelped, I pulled out the bedsheets and the pillow covers, and the dirty clothes from his closet and went to the laundry room to do the laundry, ignoring EJ's scolding.

I finally gathered courage to actually clean his lab, and once all the blood and shleves filled with weird but new stuff was clean, I sighed relieved. Putting all the cleaning supplies away, I washed all the clothes.

By the time night fell, everything was fresh and clean, smelling nice and shining, I even changed my clothes into another pair of EJ's, and even properly bandaged my wounds neatly. The rest were cleaned and dried, except mine, which I forgot to clean before with the others, and hence, they were still wet.

"All done" I stated proudly, staring at my handy work.

"Yeah, good work" EJ finally came out of his room, all dressed up, with a satchel in hand, he patted my head.

"Where are you going?" I asked him as I eyes him.

"To hunt" he spoke bluntly and I furrowed my brows.

"There is plenty of organs in the refrigerator" I pointed out.

"So you did touch it, huh? Well, anyways, don't you need food? And... clothes?" He eyed me when he said clothes, I smiled sheepishly.

"Want about the ones you have at home?" I asked him again.

"I'll try to see if I can bring them, if the is not that much security, or else" he shrugged "keep the doors closed and locked all the time till I return, don't open the windows, don't turn on the lights, be careful of any suspicious beings and don't get out" he told me, and left through the front door.
