Falling For Jeff

Chapter 3

I sat in my room for god knows how long.  Trying to process everything, but I couldn't, I'm never going to see them again.  I never told them I loved them.  Hades came trotting into my room, unaware of what has happend. Curling up in my lap just purring his little heart out.  What do I do?  I have to let the police know what has happend. How do I explain that some freak named Jeff The Killer attacked me in my back yard then the next day he tell me that some "thing" called The Rake killed my mom and sister.  I don't even know where their bodies may be.  No one would believe a story like that.   I bowed my head and let the tears fall.  Hades seemed to notice my sorrow and nuzzled my face.

I sniffled a little then hugged him tight, whispering "what do I do Hades?" 

He continued to purr until he got bored and left my room.  I sat on my bed just staring at the wall. Glancing at my bedroom clock It said it was midnight.  My eyes couldn't produce anymore tears and my voice was hoarse.  Hugging my knees to my chest keeping my head down, slowly dozing off to sleep.

I feel my bed dip, must be Hades.  Keeping my eyes closed and still half asleep. I feel breathing in my face and feel a chill slide down my spine.  No no, please no, it's just my imagination.  Opening my eyes slightly I jump back and scream.

All I see is Jeff staring down at me with that scary ass smile "Oh my god!  If you're going to kill me just do it for fucks sake!" I spit out through clenched teeth.

"Ah, good to know there's still some fire in ya" He replies tapping my forehead with his index finger.

I shutter from his touch and get off the bed ready to run for the door.

"Aw come on Harper, sit with me" He pats the bed next to him.

Narrowing my eyes at him "Do I have stupid written on my forehead?" I spat out at him.

"No, I know your not stupid.  I can tell you have a power in you that needs to be unleashed.  And with my help, your life will flourish.  Last night, I could tell that your different." He finished, standing up and crossing the room to stand in front of me.

"What the hell are you talking about?  I don't need your help with anything.  The only thing I need is for you to get the hell out of my fucked up life" I spoke low but I know he heard me. I pointed to the exit for him.

"Ah, there's that temper again, that'll come in handy.  You know your different,  you've always had an issue with your anger, I can tell.  I can see it in them baby blues" He pointed at my eyes with knife. His voice sounded confident.  But how can he know that?  Yeah, I've had issues with anger but no one really could figure out why.  I use to get in fights all the time, small things would set off my temper. ever since grade school.  I finally got ahold of it once i started my senior year in high school.  But how can know all this stuff about me.

I stared up to him directly "How do you know so much about me?  So first you stalked me, then killed my family, now saving me for last? Huh?!  Well get it done with, because this little game isn't particularly fun!" Screaming in his face, I felt my face getting hotter as I felt my voice rise.

He seemed happy with reaction. And bent down close to my face.  "You do not realize how much fun it really is" He whispered. It's like he wants me to get angry! "You need to let it go. Let it out Harper"  He practically purred my name making my hair stand up on my neck.

Balling my fists and staring at the floor again. I looked up and shoved his chest back. "Fuck you!  You don't know anything! just go!"  I shoved him back again, he wasn't fighting me just looking down at me with curiosity. 

"Do something!" I screamed and shoved him back even more.  I kicked him out from behind his ankle and pounced on top of him throwing punches left and right.  All I saw was red.

He didn't fight me just layed there and took the beating.  Punching, slapping and clawing at his face, I could feel the blood under my finger nails.  I'm pretty sure if he wanted to he could have shoved me off of him easily but he didn't.  Which fueled my anger more.

"Come on damnit! Fucking do something!"  My voice was barely there but I'm sure he heard me.

I grabbed the back of his hood and yanked it down grabbing a fistful of hair and slamming it against the floor, once, twice, three times I did this and he just stared at me with those lifeless eyes.  I was losing my energy.  My slaps were becoming weaker and I suddenly stopped and fell off him leaning weakly against a wall.  I felt as if my life had been drained out of me.  My eyes were only half open as I stared at Jeff starting to get up and crawl toward me.

He sat on his knees infront of me, looking at me with big happy eyes as if I hadn't hurt him at all.  I see the blood running down his face but he doesn't seem to notice.  

I can no longer keep my eyes open, I know I need to get away from this psycho but I feel the darkness taking over.  Something odd iis happening as my eyes slowly close.  I can feel something in me changing...something wrong.  I feel my mind slipping away slowly.

I half open my eyes to see Jeff still in front of me. "S..Stay away fr..from me" is all i can whisper out before the darkness takes me.
