Chapter seven

Meeting E.J. (Eyeless Jack)

Alex's POV.

So I didn't see Jack at my greeting so I assumed I'd go to see him pay him a little visit. And say hello, just be polite and meet him. So as I was walking to his lab I smelled blood very good tasting blood. It smells soooo tasty. So I knocked, "he-hello" I heard someone say softly as he freaked open the door. It was dark inside so I couldn't see. "I'm new here I just wanted to say hello, and it seems to me like you are testing or something cause I can smell the blood". I almost croaked the last word it smelled so good. "Hold on let me put back on my mask, and um turn the lights on then and I'll let you in", he said softly once again. He seemed a little shy. I waited about a minute and I saw a little inside the room. Then a masked man stood in view. "Come on in. I'm sorry if it's messy and yes sorry bout the bloody smell. If it bothers you I am sorry I apologize". By then I was fed up with him apologizing already, "Jack relax I here to say hello not judge. If it makes you feel any better I drink blood. And I smelled it all day when I walked in, I could smell it, I bet it tastes really good". With that I was sure I heard him slightly smile. "Thank you, not many people in here can stand it… they still eat human food. Well only me, except for of course you now to". I took my hand out and he reluctantly took it, "It's Alexandria but Alex for short". "It's E.J. They call me eyeless jack but I prefer just jack or E.J.". It got awkward after a few moments and realizing my hand was still in his I shook it off and changed the subject. "So you drink blood"? "Eh sorta"... "then why do I smell blood"? "I eat um not blood but blo-bloody-"... he stopped at that and looked down. Well to be honest I kinda started to doze off and imagine what he looked like underneath he was tall and lean but well built. And he had soft looking auburn hair. I bet it felt soft. I started to wonder what he looked like under the mask. "E. J. Why ar-are you wearing a mask", I got nervous to ask this as soon as I said it and blurted it out I wanted to take it back. "Bec-because I'm not like the rest of yous… I'm not just a creepypasta". With that I got chills I didn't fully understand but he voice suddenly sounded a little demonic. "Jack ca-can I see the real you or"? It was such a daring question but I felt a little bit curious and a bit of a softy for him right now things sparked as soon as I came in. "I-i don't think I want you to see right now, maybe after some time"... "Jack I'm sorry… I didn't mean to push or ask anything to personal it's just im new to this and you seem sweet I kinda got out of my mind for a second and dozed in wonderland thinking about how cute you are already"... "Alex I'm not cute. I'm horrifying I won't let you or anyone see me unless they have to. Your cute to I like you and think I could be a real friend to you. I eat organs my skin is bluish black coal color. I have no eyes. I have sharp teeth. I eat organs. I'm part demon". With this I couldn't take in at once suddenly he reached for his mask. Wa-wait he just said he don't reveal himself to anyone. It came off. He was so handsome and cute. But he gave off a sad aura. His face was heavenly but hell bent. Demonically beautiful. He was perfect. "Oh my god"... he tilted his head… and looked down obviously regretting his decision of showing me himself. His true self. "I-I'm sorry Jack your perfect". And that he was even those his demonic flaws. He was handsome. Through his teeth through his sad looking depths of eyes to his skin tone he was perfect and handsome. He looked up after my response and looked me into my eyes. "Alex… you're the only person who has seen me willingly. I'd never done this before. Are you sure you can handle my looks". I grabbed his hand immediately and placed it over my once beating heart. "Jack you are handsome and perfectly built. Do not ever doubt yourself. Do not ever think your a monster. This is what we became what the world made us into. Not what we did". Amd with that he smiled showing his beautifully sharp teeth his smile was scary but yet perfect. It made me feel warm inside. I would fall for him I knew that then and there.
