Mistakes (Jeff the Killer X OC)

The Saviour Needs Saving

~~~Jeff's POV~~~

When they brought EJ into the room, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of dread.  EJ had been the last to see me, and if anyone could get me out of this predicament, it was him.

Or at least that was what I was thinking until he got tied to the chair where my victim previously sat.

Lucky bitch.  When I got out of here and killed everyone involved with the torture, I would then set out to kill her.  And I would make it slow.  I would make her feel what I was feeling now.

That was probably the only thought in my mind.  Revenge.

I looked at EJ, slumped in the chair, unconscious.  They hadn't taken off his mask yet, but I was sure that they would once they got the chance.

One of the men had left the room to go look for something, probably another torture device.

The other one stayed behind and kept punching me everywhere.  Specially on my wounds.  I couldn't help but scream in pain.

I wanted to give in.  But my pride did not let me.  Plus, there was no way I would give them the location of the mansion.  I would take that to my grave.

"You're weaker than my grandma."  I taunted.  "And she's dea-"  He punched me again, effectively ridding my lungs of any air.

The doorknob turned and another wave of despair watched over me.  Time for more fun!

However, in the doorway did not stand the other man.  And that confused me greatly.

"Put your hands where I can see them or I swear I will shoot you."  A female shouted, pointing a gun at the male.  He froze and began to turn, but she was having none of that.  "I said hands where I can see them!"

She moved the gun to the side and fired a warning shot, she then aimed it back at him. 

It was her, it was the girl, the one I tried to kill.  She was here, but why?

Slowly, the man raised his hand.  His back was still turned to her.  She walked over and stopped beside EJ.  There she injected him with something.  I was about to protest, but she moved onto the man, and I just decided to see how it would all play out. 

"What do you want?"  He asked, his tone full of venom.  She merely stabbed him with a needle and sent something into his system.  The man promptly collapsed, and at the same time, EJ lurched awake.

There was a moment of silence as the three of us regarded each other, and then she moved to the table and grabbed a knife, cutting the ropes binding EJ.

"You're useless, you know that?"  She stated as he stood up and looked around.  I had never seen a normal human insult EJ and get away with it, but he just waved her away.  "Keys.  We need keys."  She pointed at my shackles.

"Um...  I'm confused, why are you here?"  I asked, looking at her.  She turned to me and scowled.  "Not that I'm not grateful."  I quickly added.

"Do you know where they keep the keys?"  She asked me.  I shook my head.  "Damn..."  She muttered and looked to the door.  "I'm coming back in a second, keep an eye on him."  She pointed at the unconscious man.  With that, she disappeared through the door.

EJ looked around the room, seemingly looking for something.  I watched him quietly, managing to remain silent for a total of thirty seconds.

"What?"  I blurted, referring to whatever the hell was happening. 

"Felt guilty, wanted to save you in exchange for a normal life.  I didn't want them to know the location of the mansion, we teamed up and came here."  He merely stated.  "At least that was the plan until they caught me.  I guess she ran away before they caught her.  And- Dammit, where is it?" 

He seemed pretty pissed and I liked where my organs were, so I remained silent. 

"Hey, EJ?"  Came a voice from outside of the room.

"What!?"  Was his annoyed reply.

The door opened to reveal the female.  She held up a scalpel. 

"Is this yours?  It was pretty out of place and-"  Before she could finish, he had already crossed the length of the room and had yanked the weapon from her hand.  "Ookay, I'll give you a minute."  She said as he cradled it like a newborn baby.  She then turned to me and held up keys in one hand, and my knife in the other.  "I'm going to set you free.  Don't kill me."

With that, she unlocked the shackles.  I took a step forward, either to strangle her or thank her, but my knees gave out.  I was on my journey to faceplant, but it was interrupted by the female, who caught me.  She was struggling with my weight.

"Hey, EJ, a little help here."  She said, and then we all flinched at the sound of a gunshot.

Immediately I turned towards the door, where the leader of the men stood.  Before I could react, the female collapsed on her knees, which also sent me sprawling to the floor.  I didn't think I was that heavy.  I was about to say something when I saw the problem.  Her red hoodie was wet.  She pressed her fingers to her back and they came away red.

Her emerald eyes landed on my own.  She looked scared, like her innocence was being stripped away.  Like a child upon finding a dead animal. 

"I need to...  I just..."  She closed her eyes, and succumbed to the darkness.

I looked up to find EJ and the man gone.  With nothing else to do, since I couldn't stand, I grabbed my tattered hoodie and held it against her wound to staunch the bleeding.  She was still holding my knife in her hand.
