Chapter Six: Unknown Intention
Alexa's eyes began to stir slowly, something bright shining before her. Once her eyes regained it's focus, she noticed the sun was held high in the sky, so that meant it was around noon. She also noticed Jason wasn't anywhere in sight, laying in his bed alone. She remembered of last night's event.
For one thing, she couldn't believe Jason of all people, had that kind of side to him. From what she heard of this place, she always thought of him as well... a heartless psychopathic serial killer seeking revenge whenever he gets the chance. But what he did to her changed all those previous thoughts.
Another thing was how she reacted with Jason's actions, as if she encouraged him to do it the whole time. She wasn't ashamed of herself or anything as such, just confused. Does she love him or hate him? Are there really feelings for him? Does he feel the same? Or deep down, is this an excuse to forget about the dark times with Kaden? She honestly couldn't answer any of those questions. However one thing was certain, the way Jason touched her had made her forget about everything horrible. As weird as it sounded, Alexa believed she did the right thing to give into Jason. For once, she wasn't controlled by everyone. She was free, even being with Jason. Although this would still take quite some time to conclude to a decision: To stay or not?
She pushed those thoughts aside and began to wonder. 'Hm, where could Jason be?' As if on cue, Jason immediately showed up in the doorway of the shack. Alexa's heart began to increase it's pace. Even if Jason showed a side of him she liked, she was still rather afraid of him. He was still a dangerous killer and she can't forget about what he's capable of. Alexa followed the movement of his feet as he was making his way toward the bed. Jason stopped for a mere second, then sat next to her. He kept his eyes on her the whole time, but Alexa's was toward the window. That was changed when Jason's gloved hand was brought to her chin, cupping it and making her face him. The two began to study each other. Jason noticed Alexa seemed confused about something, something he wanted to know. Alexa, on the other hand didn't find anything in his eyes, but they were definitely starring at her intensely.
Somewhat uncomfortable, Alexa slowly stood up but was quickly grabbed by the wrist and was forced back onto the bed. She turned her head to look at him, but she grew a little scared. Jason looked rather annoyed, his hand was still tightly wrapped around Alexa's wrist. In response, Alexa winced and let out, "Jason, what's wrong? Let go of my wrist please! It hurts."
Jason's hand released, but his focus on her was still visible. "Did I do something wrong?" Alexa asked, wanting to know why Jason was acting like this. He shook his head and continued starring. She sighed and decided to ask various questions, seeing if it'll relate to what he was thinking.
"Was it anything about... last night?" That particular question made her feel a little weird and when she saw that he shook his head 'no', she was relieved. "Okay, was it anything at all that I did? I said? Anything about yesterday?" Hopefully that will earn her some kind of answer, but Jason was growing more annoyed and impatient. He then pointed to her forehead, as if giving a clue. She saw his movement and began to think... think. "Is it something I thought?" Jason nodded.
"Something I thought. Oh, I think I may know. You probably noticed that I looked confused, right?" Another nod was given. "You want to know why I was confused?" With all that added up, Jason gave one final nod awaiting for her answer. Alexa felt she couldn't reveal her thoughts about leaving and this whole 'love and hate' situation. As much as she couldn't do it, she had to give a little white lie.
"It's nothing. I was just thinking about w-why Kaden did all those t-things to me. Just some bad memories, that's all." She cursed herself for stuttering. Jason brought his hand to her cheek, slowly caressing it, Jason understood her. Since she told Jason a lie, her eyes remained on her lap. Jason then stood up, lending a hand to Alexa and she slowly took it.
Alexa looked upon herself, noticing how dirty she was. There was one thing in order: A shower. She built the courage to ask, "Is there any place to, you know, take a shower? I don't like the feeling of being covered in mud and blood anymore." She immediately eyed the floor, not wanting to see Jason's expression, whatever it may be. Jason only starred at her head and then held her in his arms. Alexa realized they were heading out toward the shack and possibly to a cabin with a shower, she hoped. Within the next couple of minutes, Jason approached a cabin and entered. He set Alexa to the ground, but gave her a look as if saying, "Don't move." Alexa simply obeyed.
Jason went toward one of the beds, grabbed what looked like a bag and went back to where Alexa was. He held out the camouflaged bag to her and she shakily took it. She looked inside, seeing it held lots of things: new clothes, shampoo and conditioner, and other girl belongings. Alexa knew this belonged to a recent camper, who most likely... passed away, but this was a emergency. She closed the bag and looked up at Jason, who hadn't moved. She stepped closer to the killer and simply said, "You did this for me? Thank you." She gave him one of her sweet smiles. Jason felt pleased, liking that she smiled for something nice he did for her.
Jason was caught off guard when Alexa wrapped her arms around him. Jason pressed her against him, not wanting her to let go. Alexa realized what he was doing and thought it was rather cute. She began to retrieve and Jason immediately held her back into his arms. He went off out of the cabin, back into the woods. They soon arrived in another cabin, which held shower stalls. Alexa was tempted to jump out of Jason's arms and run toward the showers, but she sat patiently. Jason walked toward one of the shower stalls and slowly brought Alexa back down to her feet. Instantly, Alexa headed for one of the stalls, but was caught by the arm and was brought back by Jason.
"Jason, w-what's the matter?" Alexa asked, rather confused. That is until Alexa knew what he was thinking and replied, "I won't escape. This time I mean it, I won't." She faced her body toward him, placed her hands on his chest and gave him a little smile, showing him her honesty. Jason nodded, motioning for her to proceed with her shower.
"Thank you." Once said, Alexa walked to the nearest stall, and Jason walked out of the cabin, staying near the doorway. Alexa immediately discarded her bra, skirt, and underwear and wrapped herself with a towel that was found in the bag. After making sure Jason wasn't anywhere near, she placed the towel on a sink next to the shower, and jumped into the shower, only to be greeted with warm water. She placed a smile on her lips, content with beginning to feel clean once again. The mud and blood was scrubbed off and she began to wash her hair, adding the shampoo and conditioner.
Once rinsed off, she stepped out of the shower, grabbed the towel and wrapped it securely around her small body. She looked at herself upon the mirror in front of her, after wiping away the fog from it. All the dirty history was now erased and she could continue on clean. Out of nowhere, Jason appeared in the doorway through the mirror and Alexa turned and shrieked.
"Shit! You scared me for a second there." Alexa explained, feeling embarrassed. He showed up at a bad time. "Uhm Jason? Mind if you step out for five more minutes? I need to get dressed real quick." Jason only stood in his tracks, but instead of walking back, he headed straight toward her. Jason was already in front of her. She looked up at him, but was quickly turned around, facing the mirror once again. Jason wrapped his arms around her covered waist and placed his head on top of hers. He inhaled her new scent from the shampoo and conditioner, it had matched her own smell.
Alexa was entirely uncomfortable, only a layer away from being naked. Was he planning to do... something? She thought about moving out of his grasp, but that thought left knowing he would've gotten angry and she didn't want that.
Jason stayed in his current spot, while Alexa looked up at the mirror starring at their reflection. She didn't know what to make of the picture she saw ahead of her, especially with Jason holding her like this. Is this what they really looked like together? Apparently that's what the mirror held. Eying the reflection once again, Alexa felt butterflies growing within her stomach. Did she start developing feelings for Jason? She still didn't know.
Jason then released his grip from her waist and walked out of the cabin, giving her some privacy. Alexa grabbed the bag and pulled out what she needed: a white tank top, light blue Jean capris, a black bra, white flip flops, and a pair of underwear. Alexa felt somewhat disgusted in wearing someone elses undergarments..., but the person was dead so it didn't matter and they were clean. She was glad that the white tank top was made with a thick cloth, the black bra wasn't revealing. Once satisfied with her appearance, she tied her hair up with a found hair tie, her bangs falling to the side. She smiled in the mirror and headed back outside to find Jason. She noticed him leaning against a wooden pole, starring off into the woods. "Jason?" Alexa let out, Jason shot his head toward her quickly, making her jump. He began taking small steps toward her, his eyes somewhat wide open. She looked beautiful in his opinion. Beautiful? Since when did Jason call a girl... beautiful? What was he thinking? He forced the thoughts out of his head.
"Thanks again, Jason. You've been a really big help to me. Also, I don't think I broke my ankle, I just did some bad damage to it. I still need to go easy on walking though." Jason didn't respond in any way and walked closer to Alexa. With only an inch between them, Alexa was feeling trapped and decided to step backwards. Jason only followed her movements, Alexa was unable to read the emotion within his dark eyes. Those eyes only bored into hers, as if trying to hypnotize her. A wooden fence surrounding the porch of the cabin stopped her from continuing her steps. In the same position from before, Alexa decided to speak out, "A-are you alright? Are you mad at me or something?" The same eyes continued to stare into hers and the only response she received was a shake of the head, meaning no. "Then, w-what is-" Alexa was interrupted when she felt cold hands wrap around her wrists. She tilted down, noticing Jason had a hold of her, but why?
Next thing she knew was that Jason placed her hands on top of his mask. Feeling the cold, hard plastic beneath her palms, she pondered, "Why do you want me to touch your mask?" His grip on her wrists tightened a little and he placed her fingers on the end of his mask, then let go of her wrists. Alexa immediately understood what he was intending of her to do and Alexa let out a gasp and quickly withdrew her hands back to her sides. "Y-you want me to lift up y-your m-mask?" Alexa asked, hoping that wasn't what he wanted.
However, Alexa received a nod meaning yes. "But w-why? Why do you want me to? I won't! I simply won't! You specifically told me not to and I'm respecting your wishes. I won't, Jason." Alexa crossed her arms and turned her back away from him, showing that what she meant was serious. Jason's head lowered a little, but then irritation quickly replaced that. He immediately spun Alexa around, wrapping his hands around her wrists once again, only deathly tight.
"Ow! Jason, please stop, this hurts!" Alexa cried out in pain, hoping she wouldn't have to be forced to do this. She didn't understand why Jason wanted her to lift his mask up. She remembered when she tried to yesterday, but Jason rejected her request and she respected that. But now, she didn't quite understand! Her fingers were roughly placed once again at the end of Jason's mask, Jason's hands this time, placed tightly on her wrists, not intending to let go. She noticed the darkness in his eyes, showing she better do this or something worse may happen. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, took in a couple of inhales and stated, "Alright, if you're sure you want me to, I g-guess I have no c-choice."
She slowly lifted the mask, Jason's chin now in full exposure, and once she hit the nose, laughter was heard out in the distance. Jason brought her hands back down and placed his mask back on his face. Jason's eyes now held a more darker, angrier expression and this wasn't a good sign. Jason brought his machete out and was about to run to find the source of his next victims when he realized he forgot about Alexa. He turned back toward her, produced ropes from his pocket and immediately tied her wrists together which was then tied to a nearby pole, holding the roof of the cabin. Jason then ran off into the woods, leaving Alexa in a mix of confusion and misunderstanding.
Alright, Chapter Six for you. What did you think of it? Let me know! Sorry again that it was a little late... I know, I know... but school's out for me, so updates should be more frequent! Yay!
