Ayyy two chapters in one day! Happy Friday!

Jessie's P.O.V

Once I arrived back to Crystal Lake's exit, I noticed a cloth resting on a rock. Out of curiosity, I picked it up and examined it. Nothing special about it. I wrapped it around my waist. Why the fuck did people think it was okay to leave their shit wherever they wanted?

Of fucking course.

I turned around, only to be met with none other than Jason Voorhees himself— apparently my father. I couldn't tell him who I was or what I was doing in his woods. Even if I could, I was certain he wouldn't give a shit and just kill me anyway.

He raised his machete over his head. It was just dying to be polished with my blood. I did the only logical thing anybody would do and booked it. I ran as fast as I could and didn't look back. My eyes were glued to the path in front of me. The wind slapped my face and plugged my ears. I couldn't die. Not yet. Not until Ralph did.

My legs wanted to give out so bad, but I ignored their pleads to stop. I didn't stop until a hill my vision had failed to spot earlier caused me to lose my footing. I tripped and tumbled down it, hitting every rock on the damned thing.
Great. Perfect horror movie death. Trip over thin air.

When I reached the bottom, I fell hard on my chest, knocking the very little air out of my burning lungs. My thumping heart drowned out my hearing, but I could feel someone approaching me. I turned over on my back, too weak to get back up and continue running. My vision began to blur, yet the clearest thing I could see was Jason's hockey mask.
Welp. I had it coming. He raised his machete over his head once again, and everything went black.

"Fan-fucking-tastic. Let me guess. "Jessie! You failed me! You're such a disappointment!" Is that what you were gonna say?" I looked around the dark void, but Pamela was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't hear her; couldn't see her.
Was this death? Was I really dead? Man. No wonder Ralph didn't want to pass. An empty void of nothing. Unless I wasn't really dead.

Just as soon as I accepted the nothingness, a strange sound echoed from afar. I couldn't quite hear who they were. I couldn't even tell where they were coming from. The voice started off as a soft whisper, but it would progressively get louder and louder. It was coming from behind, so I bolted away.
"Come back! Come back!" It screamed. I wasn't stupid. The good thing about being stuck in your own consciousness was that you didn't have to worry about getting tired. I could run for hours if I had to.

I ran until finally, a door appeared in front of me. It was so close, yet so far. The closer I got to it, the farther it would get. If I wasn't getting chased by whatever the fuck was chasing me, I would've given up.
"Jessie! Jessie!"
"Shut the fuck up!" I screamed back while taking a glance back. My eyes widened at what carried the voice. Four figures wearing masks with huge, dark, sad eyes and a large frown for the mouth. I couldn't tell what they were, but at the same time, they looked so familiar.

I jolted awake in a cold sweat. Great. Still alive. I rubbed my throbbing head and groaned quietly, then looked around to see where I was. Definitely not where I was before. I was behind a bush; the sound of cars honking from a distance replaced the quiet Crystal Lake night sky. Did Jason...spare me? The fuck?

I carefully stood up and peered from behind the bush. In front of me was a house. Looked about two stories, but somehow smaller compared to the rest of the houses. It had a yellow and brown color scheme...including the lawn. Jesus, I could hear the crunch all the way over here. My eyes suddenly landed on two cars; a red truck— Dr. Roberts? And a small black car.

Ralph's. Thanks dad.

I kept my eye on the door and waited to see what was going on. Once it swung open, I ducked down.

"Quit giving me that attitude, boy." Ralph growled. Was that his son? He never mentioned having a son...then again, he never talked to me about his family. Once I heard the car zoom away, I took my chance and stood up, then bolted to the house. I pulled at his car door, but it was locked. That wasn't going to stop me. I looked around and grabbed a large rock, then smashed the back window with it. Damn it felt good. It was going to feel way better when I smashed his head instead of his window. I snuck to the back of the house and waited.
