Chapter 21: We Meet Again
Ten years had pass ever since the prophecy, everything was totally back to normal. Come and going, killing and etc. Even so it doesn't change the fact few things had change all thanks to their Human Proxy.
Ivana learned how to cook and started helping Slenderman ever since making the boys except Jeff excited for the coming meal, Laughing Jack learned how to use computer just to watch gag shows with Sally, Eyeless Jack had become interested in altering bodies like mad scientist, Lui had begun to care for his brother which he refuse to acknowledge that only give Sully his alternate personality and Ben to tease him being a tsundere, Blood Painter began to paint something new about life, Smile became like a mother hen to Jeff who always watch over him especially when Jeff visit the room where his beloved rest for eternity and finally, Slenderman had come to favorite the last published novel that the Human Proxy made which was actually about them.
For Jeff the Killer he had change more than everyone had expected. He still kills to avoid his striking insanity but not always, only time to time. He completely mastered speaking without using language unless enrage, emotions had learned how to surface and always longing for his love who will never return. It's been ten years and still the whole memories he had with her was still fresh like it's just yesterday. He always come to her room to stare, tell stories or just be with her. He really loves her, so much that none had dared to break/tease his lone happiness.
Now in midnight, Jeff went out the mansion to do his killing spree. As he walked out the forest he met up with Ivana who's beginning to return back the mansion.
"That's early." Jeff grin that made Ivana giggled, "Well I found things boring so I'll head home. How about you, going to do some killing?"
"Yeah it's been a while so why not." Jeff said with a shrug. Ivana hum before commenting, "You know, most of the Creepypasta lose control of themselves when they don't kill. But you Jeff, it's been two weeks and still your insanity hasn't kick in. Slenderman told me no Creepypasta had ever experience something rare as that."
Jeff heard that many times already from his friends especially Ben. For him he too doesn't really know the answer. "It doesn't mean it never kick in."
"I know Jeff still it intrudes me..." Ivana's cheerful expression became sad as she remembered a certain mortal whom she knew well how Jeff became who he is. Knowing who she's thinking, Jeff smack her head to return her back to reality. "Ouch JEFF THE HELL!"
"Stop mopping around and return back home. Sally is waiting." Jeff said as he walked away, leaving Ivana who's watching him leave.
Ones he's gone into view, she can't help but sigh. She murmured, "This whole ten years… not ones you have forgotten Yun…"
She decided to continue her way back home. In truth she no longer mind if Jeff never had any feelings for her, she had learned to accept and this time both became best friends, much to her confusion why the boys produced so jealousy over Jeff.
On the way, Jeff continue his walk until he finally arrives a village. It's no surprise when there's no people around, after all Ivana's way was murdering people on sight of the road so no wonder people fear going out every night.
Jeff continue his walk, picking a house to be his victim when he saw a house with light, loud voice of a woman could be heard. Curious, Jeff check that one and saw the sight that made his blood gone cold.
The woman who's actually a mother was beating her own around seven years old daughter like an animal. She yells as she hit her daughter with a wooden bat.
"USELESS CHILD! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO BE OBEDIENT HUH! I RAISE YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME! YOU ASSHOLE!"
She beat the child as the child kept whimpering in pain but wasn't crying, like accepting all the beating her own mother was giving. She could feel herself bleeding but never complain, not wanting to anger her mother more than she already had.
As he watched the scene, he can't help but remember one time when Jeff and Yun watched a movie, a scene about how the parents abused the protagonist like some kind of animal.
"This people makes me sick." Yun commented, she's so tempted to fast forward the movie or stand up and walk away until the scene's over. Jeff tilt his head in confusion, "This is very normal."
"No they're not. I know there are parents who beat their child for manners and obedience but this is nuts! Parents who abuse their own child had no right to live. Why the heck they even raise their child just to abuse them? If they don't want a child in the first place, then they shouldn't make LOVE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!"
If ever he still had eyelids, Jeff would have blink because this is the first time Yun made so much outburst. True she never experienced that kind of life which is good blessing but whenever she witnessed those kind of people she would surely do something to help the abused with or without the consent of 'stupid, useless, ugly, selfish, not deserving parents'.
"I know there are reasons behind those actions but something stupid like favoritism of other child and regret of raising them are nothing but scumbags and should never be called 'parents'." She crossed her arms as she glared the movie, "They raise them and when they saw how they had become they will start regretting they have that kind of child and don't deserve to be called child? Hah! For starters it's their damn fault for not raising and understanding their OWN CHILD!"
Jeff can't do anything other than listen her complain, after all not every day he could witness this kind of tantrum from her who's understandable, life vocabulary and sane person like her. Kind of funny he thought.
Now seeing this in real life, surely Yun would be enrage learning this… too bad she's no longer… Jeff shook his head before focusing on the scene. The mother stop beating her daughter after she got tired, watching how much pain she had given to her useless child.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to run THEN WHAT!? HE PAYED A LOTS OF MONEY SO HE COULD USE YOU FOR PLEASURE BUT YOU RUN, BECAUSE OF IT HE TOOK BACK THE MONEY! I raise you so you could feed me, NOT DISOBEY ME!"
She kicked her stomach that made her vomit blood. She's very close to death and the mother didn't care at all. Learning the whole situation thanks to the woman's outburst, Jeff decide to show himself by opening the window and went in without waiting for invitation. This shocked the woman, she never saw someone so pale and his lips were not ordinary at all. Jeff studied the child for a moment before turning to the woman and grin, it gave chill to the woman.
Jeff brought out his knife, enough to say what he wanted to do to the woman. "Go to sleep."
Before the woman could shout for help, Jeff dashed and cover her mouth. He began stabbing her first in arms, sides and etc. He will give her a slow and painful death, it gives him pleasure seeing his victim cry and beg to let them live but no, ones he had chosen he will torture until he had enough. For him it's kind of funny because he never tortures his victims before, now he had turn to like it.
He kept his time stabbing every part of her body until she died in loss of blood. This almost made him frown, it's not enough but she just died. Such shame.
Suddenly he heard a noise that made him turn to the side to see the child who was beaten by her own mother sitting up and staring him and the dead mother. The child had raven hair and onyx eyes that reflects nothing but curiosity on the scene she had witnessed. Deciding to ignore the dead body, he stood up and approached the child and sat down to equal her height to his.
The child stared the corpse of her mother then to the killer who took her life. Jeff found it amusing, normally children would start shouting or run away but she didn't. She stared, comprehending what happen to her mother who just while ago beating her for running away.
She smiled to the killer and spoke in whisper, "Are you… going to… kill me?"
Jeff was mentally shocked, she's smiling like he's a savior who will take away the life she never wish. "Not afraid of death?" He questioned.
"Why should I?" The child asked in confusion, "Death… is the end… nothing else."
"You never wish to escape and make a good start?"
"What's the point?"
Jeff can't help but frown. "How old are you?"
The child tilted her head in question, not understanding why the killer asking that. Maybe he wanted to learn something about her before killing her, so she replied. "Eight."
Jeff processed the number, too young to understood how this child knew the nature of death.
"What happen to you?"
The child answered, "Mother sold me to old men for money… telling me I will enjoy it… but all I feel is pain… they burst something inside me… I don't know what but its sticky and I hate it… makes my body sore… tearing apart… I run sometime… but mother caught and beat me, telling me not to run and do… what those men wanted me…"
Jeff would have narrowed his eyes if he could, she's not only abused but also forced to lose her purity for money. 'No wonder…' He questioned, "Why never take your own life?"
"Wanted… but can't find opportunity." She smiled like she had seen the most enjoyable in her entire life, "Now… I don't need to do it… Mister will take me… I can finally get free."
"Do you not wish to live?"
This trailed the child. Jeff became confuse, he really expected this child to answer immediately but it seems his question made her rethink. It took a while for a child to speak which strikes Jeff in his very core.
"Everyone deserve to live, even a killer… do I… have one? The… meaning of life…"
'Those words were like Yun's… is it possible?' Jeff gulp before asking the child in serious tone, "If ever you are given a chance, will you kill?"
That widen her eyes, not expecting to be questioned about her killing. She knew, within her darkness yells to kill, to end everything, her mother, her life but she refrained taking any life except her own but always fail for one reason. Within her heart something yells that reminds who she is which was quite confusing.
Processing his question, she answered just as her heart says. "I don't take… human's blood… but I take… demon's blood."
"I don't take human's blood, but I take demon's blood."
Jeff can't believe everything he had come to realize, 'Her answer and Yun's catchphrase… it couldn't be possible but… could it really be… this child is… Yun's… Yuna Alvarez's re-reincarnation?'
He took a closer look of the child. Totally they're different but it's possible… is it really?
Sensing his trouble, the child crawl forward as she endured the pain of her body. She reached his cheek, much to his surprise. He could see the worried look of the child.
"Are… you okay? Don't be sad… don't cry… everything will be… alright…"
He didn't realize he's actually crying until she gave comfort. Her warm, it reminds him of Yun's.
He can no longer control himself as he carefully embraced the child, much the child's confusion but didn't protest. For some reason, something in her heart felt warm, home. She glanced the killer who will give her end, now that she realized something about this man feels nostalgic, like she had met him before but don't remember when.
"Yun… Yun…" He murmured. This question her, "Umm… who's Yun?"
He stayed silence as tears kept falling until he let her go and wipe his own tears. He stood up and approached the corpse. The child could only do as watch the man show his furious to the dead mother whom he had regret for keeping it alive much longer as expected. So he slashed the body to burst out the blood within her with few insides and wrote his catchphrase GO TO SLEEP on the wall. He added more terrifying sight to show his despise and anger.
The child kept watching, not afraid of everything she's seeing like… very natural and understandable. She really doesn't understand herself.
Finishing his work, he roamed around to find something that could wipe the blood in his hand and knife before approaching the child. She expected to killed next but instead he stretched his hand for her, earning her confusion. She stared the eyes of the serial killer, now that she looked closely something tells her with this man, she will find the answer she seeks, the meaning of life.
"Come with me, I'll show you your new home." Jeff said with his genuine tone, the tone he could use only to Yun. This invitation surprised her in disbelief before turning to smile, a smile that shows the new beginning. She raised her hand, ignoring the pain to accept his hand, his invitation. This made Jeff smile even though nothing changed in appearance. "I'm Jeff, Jeff the Killer. Your name?"
"Bitch… bad girl… slut…" Jeff frown as he carefully carries the child like a fragile child that would easily break. He took note to have Eyeless Jack fix everything the bastard woman had done. "They are no name, do you want me to give you one?"
"Eh?" The child question as Jeff used the window as their exit and walk away from the house within the shadows. The child asked, "You will… give me… a name? You… will?"
Jeff could see the little joy within the child. This made him smile, he will raise her and protect her, this time he will not fail.
"Let's see… your name shall be… ah, Yonah."
"Yonah?"
"It's the name close to someone I love, the girl I would love and swore to protect even my life. What do you say kid, like it?"
"Yonah" The way the child tasted the name, finally a name she could say permanent and the person who had given that name is the killer who indeed end her life and gave the new beginning. She smiled as for the first time, tears fell. She nodded, telling she like it. "Yonah… Yonah… Yonah…"
Jeff kept his smile as they walk heading the Slender forest and soon, Slender mansion. As he does, he watched the child slowly drift to sleep, tears still pouring down. He carefully stroked her hair and wipe those tears.
'This time I swear, to protect you with my entire life… I promise…'
