~Summer of 1957~
A girl of eleven was sitting by a tree when a sudden a rope wrapped around her and tied her to the tree it was some of the older girls at the camp. "Shelby watch what we do to Jason" They pointing to the Lake where some of the older boys were standing with Jason. "Megan stops it" Shelby Screamed but the ropes were tightly tied around her. She tried slipping through but she couldn't.
"NO STOP HE IS HARMLESS LEAVE HIM ALONE HE IS MY FRIEND LET HIM GO" She continued to scream but it didn't matter the group of girls had walked away she looked to cabin she had watched two of the counselor walked in all she heard was the deep moans of them as they made love to each other not caring about her or Jason.
"MOTHER" She yelled towards the kitchen area but it was too late she was still working on the ropes as Jason gave his last fight his eyes locked with hers. Tears formed in her tiny as she pulled free from the ropes and ran to the water but was stopped by two of the older boys. They kicked her and punched her. "HOW CAN YOU BE FRIENDS WITH HIM A FREAK" They screamed at her their kicking became harder as well as their punches she screamed with all her might but there was no one close enough that could hear her. The boys were laughing at her as the beat her up.
"Please stop" she begged but that earned a kick to the mouth. She felt herself letting go of her consciousness her head hurt and she just wanted to die there and never wake up. She watched as a group of boy pushed Jason in the water and couldn't even save him because she had been tied to a tree with a rope. Tears were still flooding her eyes as she let a heavy and staggered breath out of her chest.
The boys continued to beat her till a Counselor came out well the cook of the camp had heard her screams and came to see what the commotion was outside. She gasped when she saw the state of the girl she took in three years before when the girl's parents died in a crash during the time she was at the camp. She rushed to the child's side and pulled in her arms the red headed girl in her arms. "Shelby what have they done to you" she wiped the blood that was in the girls unmoving face suddenly she gasped and looked at Mrs. Voorhees. "Jason is in the lake he drowned I couldn't save him they tied me to a tree so I couldn't" And then she was out again Mrs. Voorhees set the broken girl down and walked down to the lake. Her son was in the lake dead she ran to the counselors cabin the ones that had been busy with themselves then what was going on outside with both Shelby and Jason.
She barged into the cabin out raged at the couple they looked up at the older woman was staring at them with a furious glare. "How dare you" She said to them. "HOW DARE YOU NOT WATCH THE CHILDREN YOU ARE TO WATCH THEM NOT TO FUCK EACH OTHER TO WATCH THE CHILDREN. MY SON IS DEAD HE DROWNED AND SHELBY IS ON THE BRINK I SUGGEST YOU BOTH GET DRESSED AND FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO" she screamed going down to the lake to the end of the pier.
"My poor, poor Jason my special little boy what have they done to you and Shelby. I am so sorry my son my handsome son." She cooed to the water that now held the body of her son deformed or not she still loved him with all of her heart he was her son after all that's what a mother is supposed to do love their children for who they are no matter their looks. She turned to see the counselors had dressed and went to tend to Shelby. The bloody little girl that was now cut and bruised all because she was friends with her son, why she didn't know she was a good girl so was Jason he was a good boy.
Shelby felt her body being picked up and carried somewhere she didn't know but she opened her eyes to see Josh one of the counselors the one that had been occupied by Beth the girl he was with when she was attacked by the other kids. She could now here sirens coming closer to the camp. She was placed on a bed and they started to clean the cuts on her face but they were pushed aside by Mrs. Voorhees. "I will take care of her" she said the counselors left the room and Mrs. Voorhees took over. "My sweet little girl have they done to your beautiful face" she cooed to the broken girl that lay on the bed. "Why would they do this to such innocent children" she continued her hand rested on Shelby while tears were falling from her eyes.
"I miss him" Shelby whispered to her foster mother. "I know child" Mrs. Voorhees said to the broken child. "I wanted to save him I really did but they wouldn't let me they beat me up because I was friends with him" Shelby continued. "I hate them for what they did to Jason he was innocent he did nothing wrong to deserve what he got" she added. "Shush love" Mrs. Voorhees said to her. "Calm down it will be okay they will pay for what they have done all counselors will pay for what they have done to Jason and you for that matter." She said to Shelby who smiled. "I will make sure they do" She whispered.
Paramedics came and checked Shelby over to find that she was fine and there was no internal bleeding but still wanted her to go to the hospital to get checked out just to be sure. Shelby went with them and Mrs. Voorhees filled out a report about what she caught the kids doing to Shelby and what had happened to her son Jason. The look in the officer's eyes was that he could care less right now all he wanted to do was to go back to the station and sleep and put the Voorhees and Jacobs case behind him.
Mrs. Voorhees saw the look and was angered that he couldn't care less as to what just happened her face hardened at him and she started to yell. "CAN'T YOU SHOW ANY SYMPATHY MY SON WAS DROWNED IN THAT LAKE AND THEN SHELBY JACOBS WAS BEAT UP AND YOU HAVE NO EMOTION ON YOUR FACE YOU SELFISH MAN" and with that she walked away to her cabin and fell to her knees.
She couldn't control her tears no longer, her son her only son was killed and no one cared but her. She will avenge him and Shelby. She looked to the bedside and at the pictures that were there one was of her and Jason, another was just last summer of her, Shelby and Jason together by the lake they were all smiling. Another of just Shelby and Jason, they were so happy together they were they were the best of friends Shelby cared about Jason a lot and would do anything for him.
She picked up the picture of her son and held it to her heart that was shattered. What does a mother do when her child in taken how do they mend do they ever really get over the death of their child. "No" she thought to herself "The loss of a child is like losing a part of yourself you never really can get over that it stays with you forever" she muttered to herself. She thought to how Shelby was doing in the hospital she wanted to go with her but her home is here at the lake with her son Jason the boy who was killed in Crystal Lake.
She cared for Shelby so much and she was nearly dead herself it would have been even worse she loved Shelby now she was all Mrs. Voorhees had left in the world. Shelby was brought back to the Cabin and laid on a bed. Mrs. Voorhees was given a medication for Shelby to take when she woke. She looked at the sleeping girl whose eyes were red and puffy from all the tears she had shed. Mrs. Voorhees lifted her head carefully sat down and placed her down on her lap. She stroked the girls red hair and hummed a tune. "I will be here for you Shelby always" she murmured she said to the sleeping girl who was crying in her sleep.
~A Year Later~
Mrs. Voorhees walked through the camp leaving Shelby in the cabin they had been staying in. She watched as two counselors took their hands went to the barn. She followed them and waited for them to climb the ladder. She heard the hushed voices of the two teens and the deep moans from both of them. Her face in utter disgust as she climbed the ladder to the teens that were busy getting ready to have sex her knife in her hand as she got closer. The girl heard and they pulled apart she got to the top as the two started to fix their clothes. "We weren't doing anything we were just messing around" the boy started but she stabbed him and he fell to the ground.
The girl stood and walked backwards all that ran through Mrs. Voorhees mind was that she was getting redemption for the two she cared about most. The girl was screaming and running back and forth she had almost tripped which would have helped her get the girl faster. "Please stop" That's what the girl said that's what Shelby had said to the children that had beating her up. Mrs. Voorhees didn't stop through. The girl got so desperate as throw boxes at her but that didn't stop her she continued at the girl and stabbed her and pulled the knife up the body.
She walked away satisfied at what she had accomplished and went back to Shelby who needed her more than anything. Shelby was still sleeping when she came back but there was something not right her breathing was staggered and heavy. Her pulse was racing and she wasn't just sleeping she was unconscious from the world. Mrs. Voorhees didn't notice the reason why until she saw the knife that was in the chest of the girl and Shelby's hand lying on it. "No Shelby what have you done" she said to the dying girl. She pulled the knife out but it didn't matter blood was coming out steadily and now her pulse was slowing down, her breaths shorter but still staggered and heavy.
There was a small smile on Shelby's face she was going to be with her best friend Jason she had a horrible summer everyone knew she was the girl that was friends with what everyone called a freak Jason Voorhees then picked on her and none of the counselors did anything about it like always. A small and quiet voice came to Shelby. "Shelby what have you done" it was boys voice she looked and saw Jason her wish came true. "Go Back Shelby you can't die yet" he said to her.
"But I miss you I want you back" she said to her best friend. "You will one day but not now you have a whole life ahead of you" he said to her he came closer to her and hugged her. "I love you Jason please don't make me go back" she murmured in his neck. "You have to" he said pulling away. "I love you two Shelby you are my best friend don't forget that I will always be grateful for you" he said to he put his forehead on hers and smiled. "Go back mother still needs you" he said to her.
"But I stabbed my heart I won't make it anyway" she said. "Yes you will but you will stop getting older when soon you will age but physically you won't change no more" he said fading away. "I don't understand Jason come back please come back" she screamed her heart was breaking again. "Please come back.
Mrs. Voorhees watched as Shelby started to come back her consciousness slowly coming back to her. "Shelby" She whispered it was weird she started to clean the wound and it started to heal. Shelby woke to Mrs. Voorhees' face in her own she reached out her arms and wrapped them around her. "I am so sorry Mother" she said to her. "I am so sorry I just wanted to be with Jason I wasn't thinking. I am so, so sorry" she kept repeating it. "I forgive you sweetheart I forgive you" she said patting the girl's hair. "Never leave me again" she whispered to Shelby. "I won't I promise"
