When shadows fall (Eyeless Jack x Reader)

chapter 3: In the storm

(Y/N's p.o.v.)
It had been a while since that thing came back, no strange things happening, and even though the killings hadn't stopped completely, it was decreasing. I was on the porch, watching the rain fall. It was a downpour out. Dad came out and smiled at me.
" Honey, can you do me a favor?"
" Sure. What's up?"
" I just need you to go to the store and get some milk."
I nodded and stood up.
" Alright be back soon."
It was a little late but if i was quick I could make it. I ran to the store and got a few things of milk. I paid for them then started my trip back home. I looked up and saw a man in all black. I could see his face that well, his hands shoves into his hoodie pocket. I acrossed the street, away from him, and continued to walk. I felt him watching me as I walked home.

M-Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I continued my walk.....then heard footsteps behind me. I stopped and turns around. No one was there. Taking in a shakey breath, I turned back around and walked faster. The footsteps returned. Looking over my shoulder, I saw that boy in black. He was a good distance away from me and even though I couldn't see his face, I knew he was watching me. I took off running and I heard him following me. I felt him grab my shoulder harshly and yank me back. I looked up at him and froze. He wasn't wearing his mask and his face was something out of a horror movie. All of his skin was a dark grey, sharp, razor teeth, black empty eye socket, and black, tar like tears. I screamed and kicked him in the stomach. He fell back and griwled loudly.
" You little bitch!!!" He hissed.
His voice was rough, deep, and had a very slight echo to it.

I took off running home and cried, the rain was falling hard and made the ground slick. I heard him running behind me, growling and cursing.
" GET AWAY FROM ME!!" I screamed.
I could see my home coming up and a smile creeped across my face, tears pouring down my cheeks.
" DADDY, HELP ME!!!" I screamed.
I saw my dad burst through the door, shot gun in hand.
" Duck!" He yelled.
I dropped to the ground as he shot his gun. I hear the man behind me scream in pain. When I looked up, he was hiding his bloody shoulder, his mask on the ground, broken. He growled at me and run off into the dark. My dad raced over and we went inside. Caleb tackle hugged me and turned to my dad.
" What happened?!"
" I blew that motherfucking psycho away." Dad growled, putting the gun up after putting the safety back on.
" Wait what!? (Y/N), he chased you home!?"
I nodded and shook with fear.
" I wish he would just go away."

(Eyeless Jack's p.o.v.)
" Damn it!!!" I growl, holding my shoulder as I walk into my home.
" Language."
I look up and growl as I see the slenderman.
" What are you doing here!?"
" I came to see you, see if you had killed your targets. But judging by the wounds in your shoulder, I guess not."
He stood from the chair he was sitting in and walked over, his long arms going behind his back.
" Jack, why don't you just come back to the mansion and-!"
" No! No way in hell! I'm never going back to that hell whole again! Not after what you did!"
" Jack, it's been years since then. I know my actions at that time seemed cruel, but please understand, I was trying to protect you."
I gritted my teeth and balled my hands up into fists.
" Protect me?! Protect me!?!?! Protect me from what!?!?"
" Jack, that boy was dangerous. I know you saw him as a friend, but humans cannot find out about us."
" And yet almost half of the fucking pastas themselves use to be fucking humans! Just get out! Our deal was i still do tasks for you and you get the hell out of my life!!"

Silence filled the air for a breif moment before he sighed.
" Very well, Jack. But should you ever want to come home-!"
" That will never happen! And that place is not my home!"
He sighed again and headed to the door.
" Goodbye, Jack. Take care."
Then he left. I growled to myself as I got to the first aid kit.
" Tacky suit wearing, nosey motherfucker." I growled.
I bandaged my wounds from that stupid shot gun and thought back to that girl. She was such a pain.....but....i couldn't help bit feel a bit bad. From what I saw, she was just a normal girl, trying to live with her family. She loved them and protected them from me even though she was scared of her mind, she was loyal to her loved ones and they were loyal and loving in return.
"......That's how a fucking family should be....." I mumbled.
I looked around the small cabin I called home. It was distorted to high hell when I found it and it took me years to make it liveable again. It was okay for the most part but....it was lonely. Ben and Jeff came by every now and again, but that was about it. Other than that, it was just me.

The storm got worse than before and thunder roared outside. I watched the rain as it fell. I missed having a family, missed having people to talk to, and seeing that family, that girl all happy. It made me want to be apart of it. I shook my head and sighed.
".....That won't happen....those poor people.....are just another target."
