Cydo's pov

Jeff has been at my door for a little over 30 minutes. He came up earlier but left after a bit. He's back and this time I don't think he's leaving.

I'm not leaving the safety of my room. Funny. I haven't even lived here long and I feel safe in my room.

I know it wasn't him. I know he wasn't in control of himself. He probably doesn't even remember it. But I still fear. I wish I didn't.

But everytime I look at that door. I see him standing there. Looking at me with those empty black sockets.

I've cried for awhile now. Jeff is breaking my heart. He doesn't know what happened. No one does except for me and Slender. He wants to keep it that way.

Slender said his brother does the kind of thing Jack did. And that no one likes him for it. Even his own family. Slender is trying to keep that from happening to Jack. I'd thank him for it, but I don't have the courage.

I'm sitting in a corner, farthest from the door. I'm still in my day clothes, I haven't changed since Jack was due back. I haven't eaten since then and it's taking a toll on me.

My eyes are duller, my claws and teeth are sharper, and my senses are heightened even more so. I'm starving, but I don't want to leave my room.

Not only am I afraid of running into Jack, but I'm afraid my hunger will take over and I'll attack anyone I see.

I wish it didn't happen. I could be hunting right now or hanging out with Jack or Sally or BEN or Jeff...

I'm so scared.

I felt a presence in my room and I glanced up. Slender was standing there, looking at me. I had a feeling that Jack was up. And that he knows.

'He knows.' I thought.

"Yes. He did not remember. But I told him. I also told him to keep his distance until you're ready to talk." he said. I looked back at the floor and gave a slight nod.

"Come on out. You need to eat. Before your hunger consumes you. Jack is his old self. It's alright now. He is deeply upset about what happened."

'I don't have the courage. I'm too afraid. I don't want to be but...'

"Don't worry. You'll be fine. Jack is in my study trying to calm down after what I told him. He'll be in there for a bit. You won't see him."

"Why did it have to happen?..." I asked aloud, tears starting to flow again.

"Would it be ok if I let Jeffery in? He seems to want in." he asked. I shook my head.

'No. I don't want to lose control and kill him.' I thought.

"You need to go hunt or you might break through your door and do it anyway." he told me. I just sat there for a minute.

"Ok." I muttered softly.

"Come on. But I am sending Jeffery with you." he told me.

I stood up and tried wiping the tears off, only for more to come. We walked to the door, Jeff was still talking through it.

"Come on man. Please?" he said.

Slender opened the door and Jeff stepped back.

"Finally. Everyone's worried... Wait... Why are you crying?" he asked, hugging me.

"That does not matter. Just take her hunting before she eats someone here." Slender told him.

"Ok. Come on." Jeff said. I followed him downstairs and I looked down the hall at the study door.

I shivered and held back a whimper. Jeff noticed.

"You ok?" he asked. Against my actual feelings, I nodded.

We walked out the door and into the forest. I instantly caught the scent of a human and took off toward it, leaving Jeff behind.

"Cydo! Wait up!" he called after me.

I didn't even look back. I reached the campsite within minutes and devoured everyone there.

I sat by the fire when I was done and just waited. I stared into the flames and the memory of me, Jack, and Seed played. When we made the s'mores and talked.

A snap broke me from my thoughts and I looked up. Jeff was running through the trees.

"Geez. You can't just run off like that. I'll get in trouble for it." he huffed.

"Sorry." I muttered, staring back into the flames. Jeff looked around before picking up a phone.

"Oh shit." he said. I looked up at him.

"Uh, Cydo. We gotta go."

"Why?"

"They called the cops dude. We gotta go before they get he... Fuck." he said before cop cars pulled up.

"Drop Your Weapons And Put Your Hands In The Air!" a cop said on a speaker.

"Great. Just what we need. Fucking cops." Jeff muttered.

"Cover your ears." I told him.

"What? Why?" he asked.

"Put Your Weapons Down! We Will Open Fire!" the cop yelled again.

"Now!" I hissed quietly. He covered his ears.

I threw my head back and howled. The cops held their heads in pain as it echoed through the air, loud and clear. I heard a call back.

"Are you calling for backup?" Jeff asked.

"Maybe."

"Ready! Aim! Fi-" I lunged forward alongside two other human eating creatures.

Together, the three of us tore the cops to pieces. I slashed and clawed through anything I made contact with. There weren't any cops left by the time we were done.

I shook and looked up at Jeff. He looked astonished.

"Damn." was all he said.

I chuckled and looked over at Smile and Seedeater, who were enjoying their meal. Seed was making an exception to the cops, since there were no children.

"Well, I guess they won't be hungry for a while. But we better go before more come. Slender will find out eventually though." Jeff mumbled.

I nodded and we headed back, Smile and Seed trailing behind. When the mansion came in sight, I became nervous.

"Why did you lock yourself in your room?" Jeff asked me. I looked down.

"I... Don't wanna talk about it." I muttered softly.

"Ok."

He didn't question me further but I knew he wanted to. I was thankful he didn't. I felt like breaking down again at the thought of Jack.

We walked inside and Sally ran up to me. She hugged me tight and started talking really fast. I began getting overwhelmed.

"Sally, chill the fuck out." Jeff told her.

"Daddy! Jeffy Said A Bad Word!" she yelled loudly.

"I don't care!" Jeff yelled after a moment, "And stop calling me Jeffery!"

Slender walked into the room from his study. Jack was behind him. My mind froze in fear, but my body had other things in mind.

I yelped and raced upstairs, shoving through Slender on the way. As I reached the second floor, I heard an aggravated growl and a thump followed by 'What?'s and 'What the fuck's.

I just bolted into my room and locked the door. I panted for a moment before flopping on my bed and crying. There seemed to be no end to the tears since the incident.

I wish it never happened...
