Falling For Jeff

Chapter 12

Jeff was guiding me through the woods, it was sunset when we headed outside but now it's too dark for me to be able to tell where we were going.  His hand was still wrapped tightly around mine, he seemed to know exactly where to go.  I was a little mad, I didn't get a chance to put on shoes before we left, but the cold grass felt good between my toes.

"Where are we going?  Do we have to do this?  I feel fine, I don't think I have to kill.  Jeff.." I paused after my asking my questions.

"Harper relax.  You're going to be fine"

I took a deep breath.  I don't think I can do this, I don't want to this....I can't do this.

"Yes you can, and it will be amazing" a small voice spoke in the back of my mind.

My strides easily kept up with Jeff's,  though I feel like can walk faster if he would let my hand go.  I couldn't help but glance up at Jeff every now and then.  He seemed so relaxed, while I on the other hand, feel like I'm going to go crazy. 

It seemed like hours before we came across a small clearing with a wooden cabin in the middle.  We were about 30ft away from the house.  I could see too distinct figures behind the shaded curtains.  I could feel my anxiety going up and Jeff seemed to notice.

"You're going to do great.  All you need to do is play like a little actress again" He paused for a moment "I was going to wait before you kill, but I trust you" 

"I don't know if I can do this Jeff, there's two people in there.  They'll call the cops the minute they see me.  They'll know I'm up to someth.."

Jeff gripped my shoulders roughly before I could finish my sentence.  I was facing him directly now.

"Harper stop.  I'll come in shortly after, YOU WILL BE FINE"  his voice held confidence.  The confidence I wish I had right now.

I looked at the cabin, how do I even begin?

"Grab some dirt and rub it on your face and hair, then tear some holes in your pants" 

Before I could react, I was already listening to the small voice, the minute I thought about tearing my pants, my claws came out on command.  Smiling to myself that I was able to make them come out on my own.

When I finished, I felt my hands go back to normal as I stood up next to Jeff who looked at me with pride in his eyes.  I smiled up at him, trying to gain some confidence.

"Do I look like a helpless female who needs assistance?" I said giggling.

Jeff took two step toward me, grabbing my face in his hands.  I felt my breathing quicken from the contact.

"You look like a beautiful mess" 

Jeff crushed his mouth to mine, making my insides turn into mush.  I wrapped my hands around Jeff's neck, bringing myself closer to him.

I felt his tongue sweep across my bottom lip, asking for entrance.  I smirked at his persistence, but I wasn't going to let him win that easily.  I pulled back gently.

"Jeff you want me to kill those people in there, your going to have to let me go" I placed a small kiss on his chin and smiled at him.

"Ugh, just go.  Only worry about one of them, I'll handle the other."  Jeff's voice was rough and sounded out of breath, only making my grin widen.

Taking a deep breath, trying to calm the nerves.  I turned toward the house trying to debate what to do first.

"Take another deep breath, and start the water works.  You need to look scared and helpless when they see you"
