A/N: My apologies mean nothing. (I am sorry for the delay, though.) Here is another chapter. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Friday the 13th, the only thing I own is my character Jane and the other random characters I toss in.


"Janey?"

"Janey."

"Where is my little Jaybird?"

"There's my JJ!"

The oxygen filled her lungs once more as she regained her breathing to a normal rate. Jane's eyes darted in the direction of where she heard distant yells. They were on the move again, in a game they knew would only end in bloodshed, preferably the people who were after her. Biting her bottom lip, she shifted her gaze back onto where Jason had just been standing, but he was gone. This was her signal to blend in with the woods and work with what she had. If she had been any sort of sane person she wouldn't be embracing her madness with pure joy and going on her little hunt. Good thing she didn't give a single fuck what anyone thought. For once, in a long time, Jane was calling the shots in her life. It was something she hadn't felt in ages. Like a tall, refreshing glass of water after a longing thirst. Looking down at the mutilated bodies not too far from her, Jane shot off in between the trees, avoiding poking branches as she dove behind a cluster of trees.

Yes, this was the perfect hiding place. The flashlights were jumping from one place in the woods to another, completely unstable. This meant one thing; they didn't have a clue where she was, or Jason for that matter. More than likely they would be locating her before him. She had to be slick. Keep covered until she saw fit, then she would pounce like the wild animal she was quickly becoming. Pulling her legs up to her chest, she calmed her breathing and Jane was shutting her eyes to listen to her surroundings. Her hands laced on her knees as she concentrated with what effort she could muster.

"Jacobs!" Herlton called, still blind to what he was about to stumble upon.

"Come out, come out wherever you ar-! Holy fuck!" The other officer began to taunt, but, alas, they found what she was hoping they would eventually come across. A vicious smile tugging at her lips as she sunk lower, gradually turning around to peer around a tree, squinting in the dark environment. Her body tensed as she caught a glimpse of Herlton, he was silencing his partner with his finger, making a motion for, what she assumed to be, more officers to circle them in. There would be no way out of this now. Every one of these assholes were going to have to die. If she wanted her freedom, which Jane did more than anything, this was just how it was going to have to be. But, she could live with that. It was a very good thing she wasn't afraid to let her insanity take over.

Running a hand through her red hair, she quickly conformed back to the cluster of trees the instant she noticed Herlton look her way. Maybe it was adrenaline, the idea of getting into it face to face with Herlton that made her want to attack in that second. No, she needed to plan this out. One thing was for certain, Herlton was hers to finish. He wasn't so tough in her eyes now. Jane almost felt invincible. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her breathing almost hitched in her throat.

Almost there. Just a step or two more...

Jane was just waiting for the precise movement in her sight and then she would take them down. The other unknown officer wouldn't take too much of her time to slice and dice. An easy kill for sure. Herlton, though, he would be a bit tougher to take. He certainly had fight in him. Crouching down in her position, her fingers sinking into the earth. Brown eyes shut as she listened all around, counting down to the exact moment when she'd end this. At least momentarily. The others would fall like dominoes.

Snap!

There was her chance! Jane's eyes shot open, springing to life, gaining easy access to the closest prey to her left. The mystery officer who was about to meet his cold end. She took the advantage and swiftly kicked him in knee. He wasn't even prepared enough for attack. Tumbling down, down, down he went after losing his footing. Snatching his gun straight into her grip, she used the split seconds to shoot the idiot in the same knee she'd previously kicked, his cry of pain sweet songs in her ear. Then she shot one to the chest and then straight into the head. As soon as she swung her head in the direction of Herlton, he had his gun pointed at her as she had her newly found one trained on him. The detective's eyes widened just slightly as his grip remained steady and straight on her. This was it. Jane might have just died right then so she could die ever so happily. Just the thought of killing this bastard was enough to make her all giddy. Maybe she'd go dancing, though she doubted that Jason wouldn't approve of such stupid actions after a hunt. Then again, Jane couldn't help herself, she was a whirlwind of thoughts. She needed to try brush them away, though. Now was the time to finish the job. Who knows maybe Jason was taking the others out at this very moment.

Then she heard it. The beautiful stream of screams echoing off in the distance. Jason had just answered her questions all at once.

Those dark eyes had been burning holes into Herlton's own fierce gaze the entire length of the screaming. It was almost like a rhythm. A beat of their guns aimed at each other. Her wicked grin returning as she stared the man, who was responsible for her imprisonment, his own deadly gaze narrowing in at her head.

"All I have to do is shoot you, Jane." Herlton said, "It'll be quick, but you deserve so much more suffering than a quick death. I should make you pay for every wretched thing you've done. If you weren't a killer before, you certainly are now. What would your mother say?"

"There's my JJ!"

"Mother?" The word rang out as Jane heard her mother's sweet voice in her head at the very mention of her from Herlton's clever mouth. Her eyes softened as she tried to shake the memory of her game that her mother used to play with her all the time. Just for a split second Jane's grip shook on the gun, and Herlton took one small step forward.

"Yes, mother. You remember her, don't you?" He was closing in on her and Jane's concentration was wavering in a crumble. NO. She had to kill him! She had to make it all stop! This was the key! She couldn't fail that easily! Not like this. She wasn't going to let him take her again. Not when she was so close. Timing it all perfectly, Herlton lost his footing and Jane shot him in the chest. Then the right shoulder, finally shooting him straight in the throat. The blood turning to ink in the darkness as he laid crumpled at her feet. Gurgles filled the air as blood spewed from his lips. The light dying in his eyes as Jane carefully sunk down to the ground.

To her surprise she had been trembling and tears were running down her cheeks. "See you in hell." She granted him a few simple words as he gurgled some more and finally he was dead. Gone. As simple as a shot to the throat. "Fucking bastard!" She shrieked suddenly, pushing the gun from her hand toward the ground she was curling up on. Her body was a little distance from the corpse. Jane smacked his chest several times before she shoved his body some ways from her with her feet. To no avail. Her hands covered her face as she sobbed in the small silence next to the dead body of Herlton. Her knees curled up to her chest again as the tears kept falling. God, she really wanted this night to end. This had to be the end.

In spite of it all, Jane was finding herself wanting nothing but one person to comfort her; Jason. He had to be out here somewhere, right? All she needed to do was find him. Crawling to a tree for support, Jane pulled her trembling body up from the ground, wiping harshly at her tears that kept coming. Her silent sobs could be seen as her body shook from the amount of pain she was taking in. Brushing the ends of her red hair behind her ear whilst she took a few unsteady steps in the direction she was blindly believing Jason would be in these woods.

Thankfully, she had yet to come across anyone unwanted, yet also no sign of the serial killer she had her mind on. As she neared the edge of the woods, Jane felt so exhausted and slumped to the earthy ground. Her sobs had stopped and only a small tear rolled down her cheek, which she carefully wiped at. Her stare was blank as she stared ahead at nothing in particular. Maybe it was time to sleep. One might not wish to do such a thing after what had just gone down, but Jane was not like most people. Here was as good a spot as any. The redhead's eyes instinctively shut as she let her head rest onto a trunk of a nearby tree. For once she felt as though her body was finding peace; she also hoped the same for her mind, too.

Jane fell asleep in the midst of everything and in came Jason. He had been watching from the shadows of his hiding place in the woods. The girl was asleep. His mother was nagging at him to bring her to their special cabin and let her rest there. This was no place for a lady to sleep. He didn't want to upset mother, did he? Of course not. He wanted to make her happy. So, if that meant he had to bring Jane to the special cabin, then that was what he would do. This whole time he had been doing nothing but making mother happy. She wanted him to slaughter all of those bad people who were after Jane, so he did just that. Yet here he was taking in the innocence of the sleeping, tear stained girl. She looked exhausted, as mother had informed him, so to please mother, as always, Jason would pick the girl up and bring her to the cabin. Maybe then he could get some answers without having to express how much he wanted to know through any other form.

Without giving it much thought, he'd deal with the bodies later, Jason picked the redhead up in one scoop. What shocked him was the fact she actually snuggled her face into chest. Mother said it was an action of gratitude that she was doing without knowing and she was just showing how much she enjoyed being near him. That was something Jason thought he would never see ever again. Mother's words were still as reassuring as ever; why question it. Adjusting Jane so she was up more towards his shoulders, Jason began to walk in the direction he knew would lead to the special cabin. Whatever was happening, he didn't know, but mother assured him it was a good thing.
