A Cannibals Poem (E.J X Cannibal!Reader)

Ch 7 You're my drug

Narrator (Yes i really just did that) 

Have you ever taken drugs before?

Gotten high on pot or ecstasy?

Gotten addicted to crack?

Have you ever drank so much alcohol your  brain got fuzzy and you couldn't see straight?

For a certain person named Jack the answer to all of these questions was yes. He figured "anything to numb the pain." He never really got addicted however. The countless overdoses and temporary high never helped. Being an immortal cannibal with no choice but to kill people for food wasn't easy. The guilt of taking someones life never leaves. Being the reason so many kids were thrown into foster homes, never being able to be fully or truly accepted by humanity, it leaves a mark. A cut in your soul that will never fade or cease to bleed.

Drugs and alcohol didn't help. However, lately Jack has been feeling as if he were floating. Hes been on a high that never seems to fall. Every time he sees a certain person he seems to get a new jolt of this drug. Of course, he knew he couldn't be with this person. 

They were vulnerable. He wasn't. If he died he'd simply come right back. Part of the Proxy/Pasta deal. His one drug wasn't in any sort of unbreakable contract. And he couldn't risk loosing her, but he also couldn't tear himself away. 

He would ask her pointless questions and talk to her about anything and nothing just to hear her speak. He's afraid, however, that this is all too soon, and his excitement is just the product of having someone new around. However, he was still worried about what  Slenderman would say.

     Your P.O.V

You were walking with Jack to the castle that held the guy who destroyed his life, determined to kill him. Jack hadn't spoken the whole time. "Hey, everything's going to be fine, I promise." "Yeah. I just... Don't want you to get hurt." he says before knocking on the doors of the castle.

Two guards came out and escorted you to Zalgo's throne room where a giant demon stood. "What is your business?" "Oh, hi you must be Zalgo, I'm (Y/N), and I was just wondering if you would like to fight." He chuckles then proceeds to walk off his throne. "Fight me? I will say, there seems to be something intimidating radiating off you and Eyeless there, but surely you dont think you can fight me." He pulled out a giant sword. 

He swung at you. Big mistake, the sword was big enough for you t step on and run p his arm cutting his hand open causing him to drop his sword and yell out in frustration and pain . "HA! BITCH! You talk big for being so weak." You mock. He started laughing. You were confused. Why was he laughing? He swung his large clawed hand at you and.. Grew two more arms.

"Oh come on! Now that's just cheating!" You yelled dodging his attacks as best you could. He was quick and one hit would surely kill you. You couldn't do anything. You were stuck dodging.

E.J's P.O.V.

She was powerless. All she could do was dodge. I had to do something. To the left of me was a rack of swords, knives and other various weapons. I grab a curved sword, my scalpel not being big enough to cause any real damage. I hold the sword at an angle where the curved blade was facing out on my left side making for an easy attack while moving.

I run, aiming for his left leg and i cut almost all the way through. He shrieks and falls to the floor not knowing what happened and focusing on figuring out what happened. His attention was no longer on (Y/N) who was running at him. She threw her scalpel and it hit him in the eye. He swung at her, hitting her and making her fly back.  Barely able to catch and hold herself upright, she was clutching her stomach which was now torn open and bleeding. 

I was shocked. I ran at Zalgo and stabbed him in the chest with the sword. He hit me away and I tumbled to the ground before I could push it all the way in. I was about to get back up and run to (Y/N) when I saw her throw all her weight into the sword, pushing it nearly all the way through Zalgo's chest. He screeched in pain before bursting in flames blowing me and (Y/N) back. I covered my eyes as he turned to ash and cinders. 

(Y/N) was lying on her back on the ground as the walls of the castle slowly faded around us turning into a forest. Everything went in slow motion as i got up taking a step, then another before bursting into a full on run towards (Y/N). It was slow, everything seemed too slow, my vision blurred from the black tar like tears streaming down my face as i fell next to her, picking her up and cradling her in my arms. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as I held her in my arms and yelled her name, my own voice sounding so distant.

No. No no no no. I can't lose her. I just started learning to love, I can't lose the only person I ever cared about. I couldn't. No... NO!

Your P.O.V (Brought to you by my monster gatorade bottle with mango venom in it.)

As you stare up at the clouds a small smile gracing your masked face hou hold Jacks hand tight. It hurt so bad, there was blood everywhere but you got him out of there safely. You wouldn't have it any other way. He was crying, saying how he couldn't lose you. His voice begins to fade as you seep into unconsciousness, squeezing his hand one last time before you fall limp. In this moment your only cure could be the reason you died and you would not care one single bit.

Jacks P.O.V (This is just going back and forth, huh?)

"(Y/N), come on, stay with me! There's so much I haven't told you, so much we need to do, come on baby, I can't lose you! (Y/N), please." She fell unconscious. Her body stopped moving but she was still breathing. I won't let her die. I have to get her home. I need to tell her how I feel. She needs to know I love her.
