Shelby smiled as she moved through the watcher. Her small body cutting through easily, he dived under and came back up and looked at the dock. She saw her best friend and his mother watching her. She swam up to them smiling. "Hey Jason" She said to him. "Come on I will show you how to swim it's not so hard" She told him. Jason shook his head and she frowned.
"You know how he feels about the water Shelly" Mrs. Voorhees' said to her. Shelby nodded and looked at Jason. His face didn't seem different to her. Nobody looked the same anyways so what if his face was different. She smiled and at him and pushed away from the dock.
%*^&*^*^&^
Shelby stared at the picture she had in her room it was taken along time ago. Her hand touched the faces of the people in the photo. She was eleven in the photo it was the first day of Camp in '57. Her red hair was in a pair of braided pigtails and she was holding the boy in the photo's hand. Mrs. Voorhees had wanted a picture of the two before the other kids came to the camp.
Shelby smiled and put the picture down on the night stand. She jumped when a hand touched her shoulder. She looked over and saw her boyfriend Clay. She smiled as he started to kiss her shoulders. She closed her eyes and forgot all about her best friend in the picture.
"You okay?" Clay asked her.
"Yeah I am fine" she said to him. He nodded and kissed her shoulder again. Clay placed his hands on her shoulder and began to rub them."It's just tomorrow is Friday and I have so much stuff to do at the camp before the kids come" She said to him he leaned his head on her shoulder and kissed her cheek.
"I don't know how you can handle those little kids" He said to her. She turned her head and looked at him.
"I just can Clay. I love kids one day I hope to have kids" She told him. "I want to be a mother and even if they would come out deformed or different I would love them all the same" She said to him. Jason was just like everyone else to her but nobody gave him a chance. Only she did.
"I know you want that so do I. As long as they are with you" He said kissing her lips she smiled and kissed him back. She loved Clay and she wouldn't know what to do if she lost him. He was her only escape to the real world she had. Mrs. Voorhees had kept her hidden away most of her life. So when she met Clay he had become her escape from her world of being locked up.
"I love you clay" She said to him. He looked at her with a smile but suddenly his face changed and blood was coming out from his mouth. She screamed when she turned around completely saw Mrs. Voorhees standing there with a knife in Clay's back. She covered her mouth and scrambled to get off the bed. She watched as Mrs. Voorhees pulled the knife out of Clay and advanced towards her.
"I am not here to hurt you Shelby I am only protecting you" She said Shelby only shook he head and kept screaming.
%*^*^*&^*&^
Shelby opened her eyes and screamed she sat up and pressed her back against the wall. She looked down and saw that her hands and feet were shackled again. She was back in the house and not in the hospital where the man had taken her. She had watched as Jason killed him and the nurse before he smashed her head against the wall and taking her back here.
Shelby didn't know why Jason couldn't let her go. She wasn't the same girl she had been when they were little. His mother took the one person who accepted her and the friends she had made.
Shelby felt the tears leave her eyes again she never was like this before she was always so strong and independent but for some reason when She lost Clay it all changed and she became the girl that she was afraid of becoming again.
Jason watched from behind the wall that held a hole that gave him complete sight of his Shelby. He saw that she woke up screaming and shackled he had to make sure didn't escape him again. His Shelby was afraid of him and he didn't know how to take that he had to get her to trust him but he didn't know how. She had watched him die and now he was alive and witnessed as he killed people. Shelby wouldn't trust him so easily there had to be a way to get her to trust him. Maybe time was all he needed and he would give her that time.
%^%&*%&^
A few days had passed and Shelby was starving she had tried to get Jason to understand that if she didn't eat she would die. She was thirsty as well. Jason barely gave her anything to drink. She felt herself getting thinner and more dehydrated as days went by. She didn't sleep in fear of her dreams and what came when she closed her eyes.
She didn't know what to think of Jason she barely saw him and when she did. He had a dead body in his grasp. It was like he liked hurting and killing people. She knew that he wasn't all the way there. She didn't feel anything anymore she just watched as carried the bodies to the next room.
Jason had barely come to see her. She knew that it was time to get him to pay attention however she was dying of hunger and thirst.
"Ja-Jaso-Jason" She stuttered her voice was quiet but he had heard it as walked out of the room that held the dead bodies. She could feel his cold stare on her as she tried to get his attention. "Pl-Plea-Please I ne-need t-to eat" She said to him.
Jason looked her over and noticed that she was beginning to signs of sickness her eyes were sunken in and dark. Her skin was paler and her he skin looked like it was covered in veins. Her bones were sticking out and her lips were a bluish purple. He turned and left the house. He made his way through the woods.
Shelby watched as he is walked away. She nearly cried out as he walked away from her. She knew that he hated her now. She had run away from him in fear like everyone else in his life had. All but his mother, she was the only other person that he had felt safe with but now she was like all the others. Afraid and broken the longer he kept her here.
Shelby was the only person she knew that Jason thought he had but he wasn't the same Jason she had known when she was a kid. He wasn't the Jason that she loved. He was far from him. This Jason put fear into her heart and scared her.
Shelby curled into a ball and laid her head onto knee caps. Shelby hated who she was right now she hated the person she was she didn't know why she wasn't happy to see Jason when she found out that he was alive. Shelby had felt like she had finally moved on from Jason and the loss of him when she had met Clay. She had lost Clay and all the people she had made friends with.
She watched as Jason killed Alice. She had seen that there was no humanity left in him. There was no emotion in him whatsoever. She didn't know why he didn't just kill her she wasn't the same girl she used to be.
Clay had changed her and brought out the side of her she liked and wanted to be. Shelby wasn't going to break no matter how long she was down here.
^*&^&^*%^*
Shelby peered around the corner when she heard the shuffling of feet. It was more than one pair. She had heard Jason leave a while ago. She didn't know who these footsteps could belong too. She moved just enough to see a boy and a girl standing there.
"Hey you" She yelled the boy looked her way. Her heart nearly stopped this boy held a resemblance to Clay her lost love. He didn't know her though. The couple walked over and the girl crouched down and looked her over.
"You look like the girl on the poster and TV" She said Shelby stared at her. "What was her name Colt" she asked the boy.
"Shelby something" He said. "Are you okay" he said to Shelby who shook her head and showed him her wrists. "How long have you been here" He asked.
"I really don't know I have no way to tell what day it is" She said to him. "How did you find this place" She asked the boy who looked her Clay.
"We were on a search party that the town put together to find you" he said to her. "Hand me a bobby pin Hanna" Colt said.
Just as Hanna was handing him the bobby pin she let out a bloodcurdling scream that pierced Shelby's ears. She looked up and saw the bag covered face of Jason. He had Hanna by the head, he threw to the wall and she hit it hard. He then grabbed Colt and did the same thing. Shelby screamed as Jason towered over her. She could hear his heavy breathing. He was angry and hurt.
"Jason let them go. I will stay I will. Jason please I will do whatever you want please don't hurt them" She said to him but she knew he wouldn't listen to her. She looked around him to see Colt coming at Jason with something sharp. She heard Jason cry out in pain. The cries took her back to the day when Jason drown. She screamed out at Colt. Who looked at her confused he was just as confused as she was but this was in a way her Jason.
Jason reared back and Colt landed with a loud thud. Shelby pulled on her shackles and her wrists pulled free. With all the weight she has lost since she hasn't been eating it was easy for her to pull free. She didn't really know what she was doing but. She had to help Jason. She had to help him this time she couldn't watch him get hurt again. She forgot about what he did and all she could remember is seeing him in the lake drowning. She attacks Colt sending him backwards in the room. Jason stood up and went after him himself. She couldn't do much since she was still shackled her ankle.
"Why would you attack him" Shelby ignored her and sat back as she watched Jason use the weapon that Colt used on him and struck it through him. Hanna launched herself at Shelby and pulled her by the hair. "You tricked the whole world you came here willingly didn't you" She screeched as she threw Shelby's head against the wall that Shelby spent most of her time leaning against. She could feel a wet substance flow down her face. Hanna had reopened the small cut that was already on Shelby's head. Hanna repeatedly beat her head against the wall.
Jason pulled away from the boy who had stabbed in the back. He turned around to see the blonde girl beating Shelby. Jason growled and threw the boy down to the ground and stalked towards the girl who was beating his Shelby. Jason grabbed the girl by her hair and yanked her away from Shelby. He looked her over and saw that her face was now bloodied and swollen. He felt anger boil deep within him. The wrench had hurt his Shelby. He took the girl out of the room he had Shelby and pulled out before he took the same sharp point tool that he killed the boy with. He stabbed it through her head and threw her down.
Shelby watched as Jason killed the people who had come to rescue her. It went from hope to nothing when Jason showed up and ruined her chance to be free. When she saw Colt stab Jason she didn't know why but she felt like the little girl who watched the kids push Jason in the water. She couldn't watch Jason die a second time. She was afraid of him but she had saved him just now.
Shelby's head was killing her. She didn't know how many times that girl had thrown her head against the wall. Her left eye was swollen shut she could barely see out of it. She felt the blood pour down her face. She leaned her head against the wall it felt like it weighed more than it should. She could barely keep her eyes open anymore.
Shelby felt herself get lightheaded she knew was going to pass out. The last thing she saw before she passed out was the bagged face of Jason. She felt herself fall backwards and she was out.
