Meeting Eyeless Jack
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, I've been a little busy, and I got to go on vacation. So now that I'm back I got plenty of ideas on where I want this story to go. This chapter might be a little of the shorter side, only because I'm back to work, and getting my bearings back on said work. I will try to write in my spare time. Once again, thank you for all the love and support from my friends, and from the fans.
Feeling. It's something that every human, past or present has had, or does have. But right now, feeling is something that I am lacking at the moment. I feel a floating sensation going on, and as I looked around my surroundings, I saw nothing but inky blackness. I could hear voices, but couldn't make out what they were saying. Then, hearing a million voices in one, I woke up.
She opened her eyes, and blinked. Closing them once more, she had to get readjusted to the light that was coming from her window. For a moment there,(yn) had no idea where she was, but after a few minutes of thinking, she sighed as it all came back to her. The first mission, one of her last friends now dead by her hands, and the wound that he had left on her. She gently sat up, before looking around her room. 'How long have I been out?' Pulling the blanket down to her waist, she noticed something. One, She had two incisions, was she stabbed twice? And two, she was bandaged very carefully. Looking over at her little desk, she saw her outfit that she wore, all patched up.
Looking towards her door, she noticed that there were talking outside of it. Soon, there was a small knock, and a guy with a blue mask walked in.
(yn, POV)
I look at this strange person as he enters my room. At the doorway, I see Tim and Brian standing next to a worried Toby who keeps ticking away. I return my attention to the blue masked male as he sat down by my bedside.
" You were a lucky one. That wound would of killed you, if I wasn't in the area to help. My name is Eyeless Jack, by the way."
"(y/n) Nice to meet you Eyeless Jack."
He nodded his head in return as he took out a thermometer. Placing it in my mouth, he told me to keep it under my tongue till it beeps. Doing as im told, I could feel him poking at my side at both wounds. Wait, he said 'wound' If I only had one wound, then where did the second one come fr-
BEEP,BEEP,BEEP!
Taking the thermometer out of my mouth, he looked at it, before pulling it away. That gave me time time ask my question.
" Um, Eyeless Jack, you said wound. Why do I have two incisions on my abdomen?"
He looked at me with his head tilted before moving his mask up. My eyes went wide with what I saw. His teeth were that of a sharks! Sharp and jagged, his skin was not normal, a very dark gray pigment for his skin. I leaned backwards as his face came closer to mine. I could feel my heart starting to race in my chest, and pounding so hard, that it could burst out at any given time. However, he spoke, and it made me want to hide.
" There are two incisions, my dear, because I took my payment for my services for helping you."
" What do you mean?"
"Jack is a cannibal. He eats human organs, preferably, the kidneys of sleeping humans."
I turned over to look at Tim as he came into the room. Sitting down beside me, I sighed a bit, but covered my mouth so as to not scream.
The sonofabish
took my damn kidneys.
I wanted to throw up.
Thinking of something I only shook my head. "You do know that I cannot live for very long without my kidneys right? I mean, The Operator is not gonna be to happy if he looses a proxy to something like septicemia."
He tilted his head, but only chuckled. Something between a demonic laugh and a human one. It made me shutter a bit. " It would of, if I taken BOTH your kidneys. However, I only took one, and let me say, yours are the tastiest that I have ever had the pleasure of having."
"Um..Thanks?"
I was elbowed by Tim who looked at me, and motioned to Jack. Then I nodded.
" And thank you for coming out of your way to treat me. I'll be more careful next time. Thank you
Jack"
He pulled his mask down and nodded once again. Moving from my side, he looked at the three male proxies.
"She should get some more rest. The medication I gave her, she will be able to walk around tomorrow. As it was, she was out for a week straight."
I felt my eyes go wide. A week I was unconsious. I looked over at the boys who kept paying attentaion to Eyeless Jack. Brian fallowed Jack out, and saw him to the door.
(Hoodie's POV)
That was a close call. We almost lost our little proxy. I was about to close the door, when Jack placed a hand on it,stopping me. "One more thing. I've been hearing from others, that Zalgo is on the move again. Better tell the Slender man, It would be a tragic loss to the world, if he, and his proxy's are no more." and with that, he left. Frowning I headed back upstairs. This is something that I need to tell the others about. No doubt that the Operator will want to know as soon as we can make contact with him.
Knocking on the door, I saw everyone still in (y/n's) room. Toby was inconsolable, hugging the girl close to him, telling her how fast he was running to save her, (y/n) was hugging him back, and rubbing his back, while Masky was trying to get Toby off of her, saying that he was going to tare her stitches out if he kept squeezing her. Masky was finally able to get Toby off of her, when I cleared my throat.
" Eyeless Jack gave up some really useful information. It appears that Zago is out and about once more. We must speak with the operator as soon as we can. If he's up to something, then that can't bode well for any of us."
" Who is Zalgo?"
She had to ask.
Looking over at her, I shook my head, but thankfully, Masky was the one to explain.
" Zalgo, like the operator, is a mystical being. Most humans would call him a demon. He had many forms. His main, is that of a demon looking creature, who is colored red and black. All over his body, there are wide tooth mouths. He is not to be trusted, and is a sworn enemy of our Master. We have no idea what he is going to do, so we need to keep a low profile."
I saw her nod her head in understanding, and look around the room. Giving Toby's hand a final pat, she let go of his hand.
(Your POV)
Toby looked like he was going to burst into tears after Hoodie left. I wasn't disappointed when he clung to me with Tim trying to pull him off of me.
" (Y/N-N-N-N!?) Y-you have n-n-no idea h-how s-s-scared I was f-f-for you!"
I could only hold my friend and shush him gently.
"Toby, I'm alright now, you did well. Before I blacked out, I heard Hoodie, or Masky, one of them tell you to go get someone. Without you I wouldn't be here right now. Thank you so much."
I gave him a hug, and he clung to me like that until Masky was able to pry him off of me. Looking over at Masky, who was having a hard time keeping Toby off of me. Before I could say anything, Hoodie came back with a grave look on his face. That's when the news was broken.
" Eyeless Jack gave up some really useful information. It appears that Zago is out and about once more.. We must speak with the operator as soon as we can. If he's up to something, then that can't bode well for any of us."
I frowned, but it was eating me from the inside.
"Who is Zalgo?"
Hoodie gave me a look, however, it was Masky who answered that question for him.
"Zalgo, like the operator, is a mystical being. Most humans would call him a demon. He had many forms. His main, is that of a demon looking creature, who is colored red and black. All over his body, there are wide tooth mouths. He is not to be trusted, and is a sworn enemy of our Master. We have no idea what he is going to do, so we need to keep a low profile."
Even I knew what that meant. We would need to lie low for a while. Just the image that he gave me is enough to keep me awake for a couple of nights. I gulped as I looked around at the faces. Toby looked pissed, while Masky and Hoodie looked rather tired and worried. I have a feeling like this is going to be going down, and soon. Hoodie stood up, before stretching. Moving off to the side, he headed for the door.
" We should give (y/n) some time to rest. As it is, she needs to still recover."
"I'm well rested! I don't want to stay in bed anymore."
Carefully, with Masky's help(Toby looked like he was gonna throw something at someone) I was able to get out of bed, against medical advice of course, and slowly began to make my way down the stairs. Now, I have been the one cooking for these guys since I got here, and I wondered what they did for the week that I was out. Everything looked clean as I moved towards the table. Sighing, they would not let me get up and do anything.
Masky was going into the fridge, and pulled out something that I haven't had in a long time.
"Steak!"
I could feel my mouth begin to water as I watched him prepare the food. Looking over at Toby, he sat down next to me, and gently placed a cup of something to my lips.
" S-say A-Ahhhhhhhh."
I gave him a look, before shrugging.
"Ahhhhhhhhh."
He gently pored the fluid into my mouth. I didn't realize how thirsty I really was, until I took that first sip. Closing my eyes, I felt the fluid slide down my throat and into my stomach. Stopping him for a moment, I was able to catch my breath before moving onto more of the sugary liquid. After I had my fill, I smiled at Toby.
"Thank you so much, you have no idea how great that felt. I've been so parched."
I gave him a smile as I looked around at everyone. Brian was busy cutting vegetables, and Masky was throwing the meat into the frying pan. Already, it smelled so good. Toby got up, and grabbed four plates. Setting them down with the silverware, he then took his place next to me. I tilted my head tot he side as I noticed that Toby was being more clingy then normal lately. Was it because I was injured? Must be. Soon Tim was done with the steak, and brought the pan over to our plates. I was about to take mine, when Toby took it, and placed it on my plate, as well as some vegetables. I blinked, not used to this at all, and looked at him when he picked up my fork, took some meat, and veggies, and placed them to my mouth. Masky sat down and raised an eyebrow to this.
"Rogers, she has her own hands. She can feed herself."
"N-nu-uh! S-shes i-injured, a-and needs h-help."
"Actually I think I-"
"She's got it Toby"
"I'M GOING TO HELP HER!?"
Silence filled the air.
Nobody moved, save for the mysterious shadow outside.
Wait a moment..
Shit...
Within the blink of an eye, the window closest to me shattered, and sprayed shards all over us. I did my best to cover myself, and felt another body collide with my own. Looking up, I see Toby trying to shield me with his own body. His eye was wide, and he was shaking like a leaf. Brian was able to get Toby off of me long enough for Masky to pull me to by feet gently. Then I was only again enveloped into the arms of my twitchy friend.
"L-Lyra! A-are y-you o-ok?"
I looked at him before blinking. Who was Lyra?
"Oh no, not this again."
Looking over to Tim, I gave him a confused look. " What do you mean? And who is Lyra?" Toby kept mumbling to himself as he held me closely, and kept asking if I was alright. Well, is Lyra was alright.
Brian looked at me, before shakeing his head. "She was his sister, before she died. The window shattering must of kicked in his PTSD."
I nodded my head before getting coaxing Toby out of his shell. It seemed to work. He looked down at himself slightly ashamed as he apologized, and asked if I was alright. Once I told him that I was fine. They checked my stitches, and thankfully none of them were pulled. I don't think I would pay Eyeless Jack for another visit. Tim paled as he picked up the rock that had shattered the window, it had a note around the rock. Looking at the three boys, I urged Masky to open it. Once he did, the words made our blood run cold.
" Its only a matter of time, but I am coming for you all."
Hey guys, im sorry eyeless jack's part was not as long as you would of liked, but ont worry, this is not the last time we will be seeing him. Till next time!
