Hey y'all! Welcome back to Life of Slenderman's Daughter! I hope everyone who is reading this story is enjoying it! I am beginning to get a tiny bit of writer's block. I had a bunch of ideas, but threw a lot of them out because I couldn't figure out a good way to write them, especially since I make up the chapters as I go. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Anyways, let's jump right into this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story idea. Serena is my friend Slender Knight132 and all creepypastas belong to their respective owners.

"Heel! No Smile! Down!" said Jeff, trying to push the large demonic husky off of him. Said husky was excited to see the killer after he had returned from a mission and was affectionately licking his face. LJ was laughing his ass off, enjoying watching the shorter male struggle. The clown whistled, catching Smile's attention and the husky ran over to the clown, his tail wagging as he was fed a large chunk of beef jerky LJ had.

"What the hell LJ!? He's supposed to be MY dog!" Jeff said, glaring at the 8'5" male. "Yes, but he likes me because I give him treats he actually likes~..." said LJ, grinning. Jeff growled slightly, though he knew he couldn't argue as the tall monochrome male did always feed Smile jerky of some other type of meat. Hell, LJ once even fed the hound the carcass of a cat he had killed on a mission, the cat having been the pet of the family he had killed on said mission.

Jeff huffed, then chuckled darkly. "You know, I'm surprised you managed to kill that cat on that one mission... considering your terrified of them(1)..." he said, watching LJ's grin quickly fade. It was no secret the clown was scared of cats; he had been ever since that fateful day when he accidentally killed one while playing pirates with his first friend Isaac. At first it had only been hesitation to be around them, but that developed into a full-blown phobia after he had been attacked by a group of strays while hunting another family.

"S-Shut up! T-Those things are evil! Even more so than we are!" LJ stammered, baring his shark-like teeth at the shorter male. "Aw, the big bad Laughing Jack is scared of cute little kitty cats~..." Jeff teased, his grin widening. An audible growl escaped the clown. "I'm warning you-" They both looked up when Serena ran into the room, grinning. "Guess what Dad got me!" she said, smiling. LJ straightened up and smiled. "What'd you get?" he asked, only for his smile to twist into a look of fear when Serena held up a small ginger kitten.

"Isn't he adorable!? I named him Fred!" Serena said excitedly. "Fred?" asked Jeff, tilting his head. "Yeah, after Fred Weasley in Harry Potter!" Serena explained, giggling. LJ gulped and gave a shaky smile. "T-That's v-v-v-very nice Serena..." he said, chuckling nervously as he slowly scooted around her towards the door. "Where are you going LJ?" she asked, frowning. "J-Just, uh, I uh... G-Gotta go!" he said, rushing out of the room in a panic as Jeff burst into laughter. "Did I miss something?" Serena asked, confused. "Oh, that was perfect! LJ's fear of cats is so hilarious!" Jeff said, practically cackling at the clown's expense. "A fear huh? …... Jeff, we're going to help him get over his fear..."

"But why!?" Jeff whined, then shrunk back as Serena glared at him. "Fine... but how?" he asked, sighing. Serena thought a moment, then grinned. "I know the perfect solution... I just gotta call my friend Yuki real quick..." she said, smiling. "Why? Yuki's a human, she can't really do anything..." Jeff said, tilting his head again. "Not power wise... but she does own cats herself..." said Serena, grinning as Jeff saw where she was going with this. Oh, this was going to be fun.

About a couple of hours later LJ found himself heading to his room, as Jeff and Serena supposedly had a surprise for him. However, upon entering his room he froze when he saw about a dozen different colored cats in his room. Instantly he spun to leave again only to find the door shut and locked. "H-HEY!" he said, panicking. "You're not coming out until you get over your fear of cats! They're not all as bad as you think!" Serena's voice said from the other side, her and Jeff being heard walking away. LJ spun back around and gulped as all the cats were now looking at him, a few of them by his feet as he gave a nervous smile. "eheh, n-n-n-nice k-k-k-k-k-k-kitties... P-Please don't hurt me..." he said, stiffening when one rubbed against his legs. Oh please for the love of Zalgo don't hurt me...

About an hour later Serena felt it was time to check on LJ to make sure the poor clown didn't have a heart attack or anything. As she and Jeff approached the room they listened for anything that might make them regret what they did. To their surprise, they heard nothing. "LJ?" Serena asked as she unlocked and opened the door. The minute it was open she forced herself to repress the 'awwwwwww' that was threatening to escape her. LJ was asleep on his bed, several of the cats in the room curled up with him. One of his hands was laying by the head of a tabby cat, showing that he must've been petting it when he fell asleep.

"holy shit... I think he actually got over his fear..." Jeff whispered, raising his eyebrow. "Yeah... now if only we can get you over your fear of fire(2)..." Serena remarked, smirking at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Jeff saw this, then bolted as fast as he could to escape from her. Serena giggled, then turned back to the sleeping clown. "Sleep well LJ..." she said, smiling softly as she closed the door.

And done! I like this chapter, and it's an idea that's I've had for a while. A few things I need to explain though (also, I know people might getting mad that I keep putting the parenthesis and numbers, but I do this when there's something important so I don't have to stop the flow of the story to explain it when I can simply explain it later in the Author's notes. The numbers simply show which pieces of info I'm gonna explain so you don't really have to look hard in the chapter to find what I'm talking about):

1) A headcanon of mine is that LJ is afraid of cats, the fear coming from when he killed one back when he and Isaac played pirates (if you don't understand this reference look up the Origin of Laughing Jack story). I simply expanded on the idea by making his fear fully come to light after being attacked by strays.

2) A headcanon of mine for Jeff is that he has pyrophobia, or a fear of fire. I mean, after being basically burned alive after being covered in bleach and alcohol who wouldn't gain a fear of fire?

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Until next time, Icy is out!
