DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JASON, CRYSTAL LAKE, OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT MY CHARACTERS :)
Chapter 17
Slowly I awaken the next morning to searing pain around my crotch area, an intense aching. This causes me to wince, opening my eyes I look around, Jason nowhere to be found.
Slowly I recollect last night's events, my face immediately fires up into a deep red.
I can't believe we did that…I definitely don't regret it though.
Where is he anyway?
Getting off the bed, I slide my underwear back on and leave the bedroom.
"Jason?" I begin searching through the house for him.
I finish, not finding him anywhere. Worry begins to flood through my mind. What if someone came on the property…what if it was police…? What if they killed him? What if he is in trouble? I have to find him…
I get dressed and leave the cabin and head into the woods.
Treading through the woods, I keep an eye out for anything that moves, as well as focusing my hearing on my surroundings. Even if that would make a difference…as Jason is good at being silent.
"Jason?"
Eventually I reach the camp and begin looking through the cabins, worry and fear taking over even more. Everything in the camp looks like it was frozen in time…from when the camp was last open.
Children's belongings still remain in the girls and boys cabins, abandoned toys and personal items left behind.
After searching through the entire camp basically, I begin wandering further into the woods.
Eventually I run into a small shack that seems like it was built with numerous items in order to make a small house. The house falling apart.
Slowly I enter it through the front door, living items scattered all over the small house. The house seems as though it will most likely collapse on top of me at any second…
I wander through the small shack until I reach a door, the only door in the house.
Slowly I push the door open, the sight beyond the door sends chills up my spine and forces me to gasp in fear at the horrific sight.
A severed head…covered in hardened and wrinkled skin sitting on top of a stand in the center of the room surrounded by candles, a wool sweater sitting on the stand in front of the head.
…What is this…whose place is this…?
Backing up, I bump into something, causing me to immediately spin around as fast as I can to see Jason standing right behind me.
Looking into his eyes, rage can be seen deep within them.
"…J-Jason…I was looking for you…"
I am picked up and carried out of the small shack, he begins taking me home, his grip sight on me.
"…I-I'm sorry…"
I figure that was his old place he used to stay at…and he didn't want me to see it…
Eerie silence prolongs between us as we travel through the woods and back to the house.
Once we get back, he takes me up to my room and sits me on the bed and begins to write.
'That is something you never should have seen.'
"Why? Who was that in that room?"
'My mother, all I have left of her'
"…Oh…" I look down, grief filling me. "…I'm sorry…I just went out looking for you because I was worried something might have happened to you. I tried calling your name and you never came…"
'I was out doing my rounds like I normally do.'
"That doesn't mean I won't worry…"
'You have no need to worry about me.'
He sits on the bed next to me.
"There is nothing in this world that will make me not worry about you…"
Slowly he pulls me against him in a small hug, I smile and hug him back.
"…Jason…I'm sure you will probably find this an uncomfortable question…or something you don't want to answer…If you don't want to answer then you don't have to…but you always speak about your mother…what about your father?"
I feel his head lower so it rests on mine, he goes to reach for the notepad, but pauses and draws his hand back and moves his hand back where it was.
"What about him?"
"…I don't know…it seems like he was absent in your life…is that true?"
"…I never really met him…so yes, he was absent."
"Did you ever talk to your mom about him?"
"…yes, quite a bit growing up…she never really told me much about it…only that I shouldn't worry about him and that he isn't worth the time."
"…oh…what was his name? Maybe we can find him."
I feel him shake his head, "I'm sure he is long gone now, no longer alive. I think his name was Elias…but I'm not sure"
"Oh. I will drop the subject now."
He nods.
"I should go get some food from the store." He tenses up at my words, making me look up at him.
"…I promise I will be back soon…I will be gone at most an hour." I softly stroke the cheek of his mask, as if he could feel it.
"…Alright…just make sure no one follows you back."
"Okay." I smile and get off the bed, discovering I don't have the keys to the van I came here in. Slowly I look at Jason.
"…Do you know where the bodies are…of the two guys you killed who were with me…? One of them has the keys to the car I came in…"
Jason nods as he gets off the bed and leaves the house, I follow him out and stop following him once we leave the house. I watch as he walks off into the woods. I head back inside and go to the bedrooms the guys stayed in and I search through their stuff, in case they didn't have the keys on them.
Surprise…the keys were in one of their bags…Jason went out there for no reason because I didn't think to check here first…
Sighing, I head downstairs and out the front door and wait for Jason to return.
Once he can be seen and he approaches me, I show him the keys.
"…I should have checked inside first…im so sorry I had you go before I looked…"
He shrugs, not really caring. He wraps his arms around me and picks me up in a hug and slowly places me back down, causing me to smile and giggle.
"I will be back soon, ok?"
He nods.
I begin heading out and to the van, unlocking it and taking my place in the driver's seat.
Putting the key in the ignition I start up the van and pull out of the driveway and into the road and make my way to the closest store.
Once parked, I head inside and find what I need.
So many people around…I am definitely not used to this anymore…not that I ever really spent time around people, but having anyone else's presence near me besides Jason's is just weird now…
Gathering what I need, I head to checkout and place my stuff as the guy rings them up.
"Having a good day?" He says to me.
"Yea, how about you…?"
"Just a usual day for me." He continues ringing up the food, he then speaks again.
"Hey…don't I know you? I feel like I've seen you quite often…"
I have never seen this guy in my life, "Uh, nope. I don't know you, sorry."
"Oh, it must be that you look like the missing girl from Camp Blood. That girl is all over the news…"
"Oh is she? Any news about her?"
"Yea, police found her then lost her…police say she was found along with that Jason guy and that they have been staying hidden together. But who knows the real story, could just be rumors. From what I hear about Jason, there is no way he would possibly keep a girl without killing her."
"Oh, interesting. I'm sure if that is true then she is probably dead by now. But who knows." I shrug and pay for everything.
"Yea probably. Anyway you have a nice day." He smiles at me.
"You too." I grab my bags and leave the store.
…So, word is apparently going around about Jason and I…this isn't good…But at least the public is confused about it and what to believe.
Climbing in my car I place the bags in the back seats and turn the car on and head back to my new, perfect home.
Once I arrive, turning the car off I leave the car and grab the bags and bring them inside.
Seeing Jason inside once I step into the door, I smile and he gives me a hug.
"Could you help with the bags? It would make it faster."
He nods and heads outside as I go to the kitchen and put the food away. Jason comes into the kitchen with the rest of the bags in his hands, about 8 bags.
"Damn, two trips not enough?" I laugh as he places the bags on the counter. I can tell he is trying not to laugh at my remark, but he fails to hide his smile in his eyes.
I return the smile as I put all the food away.
Once I finish I head back upstairs and to my room, Jason following close behind me.
I sit on my bed and turn on the tv as Jason walks over to the window in the bedroom and looks out it.
"Not a good idea to look out the window during the daytime, baby."
He looks at me, I look at him, his eyes hold a bit of confusion. He slowly tilts his head at me, probably at my word usage. A smile spreads on my face.
"You like that? Being called baby?"
He shrugs slowly.
I giggle.
"You don't know?"
He walks over to me and sits on his side of the bed.
"It's a yes or no question Jason."
Without looking at me, he slowly nods, causing me to giggle again.
"You're so cute."
He looks at me and gently grabs me and pulls me against him so I am lying next to him, us touching now.
I wrap my arms around him and cuddle against him, he places his head on mine.
'Not as cute as you are.'
"Impossible."
He takes off his gloves and jacket, basically telling me he is comfortable. His hand softly rubs my hair, his other arm in the curve of my neck between my head and shoulder.
'Yes it is possible. Because its true'
"Not."
'You doubt reality?'
"No, I doubt your words."
'and what if I doubt yours?'
"You would be a fool."
'Then I am a fool.'
"My fool." I giggle and press my face against his shirt-covered chest, taking in the familiar smell of pine and woods.
