Jeff the Killer x Reader: Stay Awake!

A Shift in Things (2.5)

You quickly turn your head towards the forest. Even with the lights, you couldn't see a single thing other than the movement of the trees from the wind. You stood there staring deeply into the darkness that you didn't even notice the boys were walking over to you. Jeff and Ben notice your behavior and move a little quickly over to you.

"Hey, everything okay?" Ben says while placing a hand on your shoulder, this spooked you.

"Oh, Ben! You scared me. Also, I'm fine I thought I felt something I guess it was just the wind" you said. Looking over your shoulder once more the boys look at each other either convinced or not at all. But either way, the fight was over and the air is cleared.

"Well now that is this all settle how about we go back and can make us something to drink. Any suggestions?" You ask the boys.

"Don't suppose you have tea?" Ben asked politely.

"I will have a coffee babe" Jeff smiled.

"Sure thing guys. Also, Ben, it's lemongrass tea, I hope your okay with that" you informed Ben.

"That will do just fine" he smiled at you. Once he took a couple of steps he started to feel weak and could barely walk. He gripped his chest in pain and started to cough up blood. You were now very concerned about Ben's condition. Without speaking Jeff picks up Ben and puts him on his back to carry him back to your apartment.

"Dude we gotta do something about this. That fight took a lot out of ya" Jeff said with a worried tone.

"Isn't there like anything we could do?" You asked Ben. Unfortunately, he gave you a look of doubt.

"I started taking health pills daily after I put that strong spell on the blade to keep Mindfreak trapped. Sadly I ran out and those pills were made in another dimension so I'm not even sure" Ben responds looking disappointed. You placed a hand on his back to assure him that you will find a way to save his life.

"Don't worry Ben. I will find a way" you said confidently. Ben looked surprised then his expression changed to a smile. Jeff couldn't help but smile as well. After 10 mins of walking all three of you made it back to the apartment. Jeff sat Ben down on the couch and Jeff sat down next to him. You got to work on making the drinks. You couldn't help but wonder how much time Ben has left now, he used a lot of magic and strength to fight Jeff. Months? Weeks? Or even days? Bens clock was ticking and it was ticking pretty fast from the look of his appearance. His skin has almost no colour, blood is on his lips, his ears are droopy, and his eyes are turning grey. He looked like he could die at any moment and if he dies Mindfreak will be free. Not only that Jeff would lose his best friend. You couldn't let that happen. Soon enough the drinks were ready, you handed Jeff a cup of coffee, you and Ben had some lemongrass tea.

"Thank you, babe" Jeff have you a kiss on the cheek to say thanks.

"Yes thank you (y/n)" Ben took a sip of his tea.

"No problem" you smiled. Suddenly after another sip of tea, you start to notice the colour on Ben's skin.

"Holy shit dude! Your skin!" Jeff pointed out. You look over to Ben and you see Ben's appearance starting to look better. It looked like he is turning back to normal.

"Ben! You're looking like yourself again" you said. Ben looked confused but once he saw his face in the mirror on the wall he couldn't believe his eyes.

"No way" he muttered. He then noticed a candle on the coffee table and decided to levitate it. Ben actually managed to do it with ease.

"Oh my gosh! How did this happen?!" You squealed in delight. Ben realized something.
