Chapter 9, Safety
I packed my bag, I could barely stand this hell anymore. What’s got into me? I left the T-shirt on the bed, it’s not mine so I shouldn’t keep it. This isn’t me… I swung my bag onto my back and jumped out of the window, making sure not to wake up Cotton. Help me! I ran, branches and twigs scratching, cutting through my skin. What’s going on! I had almost reached the end… I broke out of my prison. “What am I doing!” I screamed, it felt as if I were being possesed. Someone else was inside of me, maybe I should have said that in a different way… because that sounds dirty as fuck. I collapsed, I missed my real home, but this forest almost seems like home. What do I choose? “Hey, come back, it’s cold outside…” I felt a hand on my shoulder, a raspy voice whisper in my ear.
I fell onto my hands, tears falling to the ground, my body stopped working and I fell completely on the ground. I could feel arms wrap around me, lifting me up, carrying me like a bride. I looked up, but I could barely make anything out. I had a streak of pain in my eyes, as if they’d been impaled. Am I… blind? I tried rubbing my eyes, but whimpered, something sharp was stuck in both my eyes. I was blinded… never to see again. I felt a sharp pain, as the person yanked out one of the twigs. I screamed, as he pulled out the other one. “Hey, hey… does it hurt now?” He asked, whiping the tears from my eyes. I looked up at him, everything was still really blurry, almost impossible to make out anything.
“Wh-who are you… I can’t see anything” / “Wow Faith, you can’t remember my voice”. I closed my eyes again, I wanted to cry, just cry the pain away. My eyes shot open, my feet were touching the ground, my lips against his. His hands going through my hair, mine hugging him back. I know who he is… Jeff… he’s saved me again. I couldn’t help but cry a little, I was always being saved, no one was ever in need of my help… I’m always the useless one. He let go of me, walking back a bit, I was left in the dark. I tried to walk forwards but tripped up on a branch. I was caught by my collar. Lifting me up, he looked into my eyes, they were filled with blood, almost covered completely.
Jeff lifted me onto his back and we went back to the Slender Mansion… back home. When we got back, I heard an extasy of shouting and crying. Then, it all went silent, I hid behind Jeff, holding on tightly to his shoulders. There was a loud cheer, I felt everyone around us. Jeff pushed them aside and went to my room. He sat me down on the bed and I could hear him closing the door. “W-what’s going on..?” I stuttered, I could feel Jeff nearby. My face felt hot, I was really embarressed. I crawled back, but I only went a bit further until I was at the edge. Either I fall off, or let some kinky shit go down… tough choice.
Jeff was right in front of me now, I could feel his breath hot on my neck. I couldn’t see a thing, my eyes were limiting me, but it’s not all bad, it makes surprising things seem more thrilling. He put his hand through my hair, and whispered “This is exciting, isn’t it…”. Suddenly, the door slammed open. “Guys… what the ACTUAL FUCK!” I yelped, falling backwards off the bed, and accidentally kicking Jeff. Ben had opened the door, his shouts were loud enough to draw a crowd. I heard him cursing, as they probably dragged him away, closing the door again.
“Holy shit, that scared me.” I whispered, leaning my back against the edge of the bed. I closed my eyes, and opened them again, hiding myself in my knees. I could hear a quiet thud as Jeff sat down next to me. He put his arms around me, kissing me on the cheek. I turned to face him, and his lips met mine. I fell back almost, I could feel him on top of me. I felt happy for once, my emotions were showing their true colours. I gasped, I could feel him on my neck, it felt… nice. My head tilted back, my face red hot. After… that was done, Jeff got up. He helped me up, hugging me tight.
