Destiny sat back down on the couch and watched as Jason sat down in front of her. She gave him a weak smile as he stared at her. She knew her past was nowhere near as bad as his was, but for some reason she wanted to tell him. Perhaps it was because he had told her his. She wanted to return the favor somehow by telling him hers. It only seemed fair, right? Even if it was a simple life, he deserved to know after she found out about his. She placed the now slightly warm pad on her lower stomach again and Jason quickly gave her a somewhat worried look. Destiny blinked and smiled at him shyly.

"J-Jason, I'm okay. Th-the cramps are going down. I-I'll be perfectly fine by tomorrow, alright?" Jason nodded slowly and Destiny glanced down at her watch. It was around ten thirty at night. No wonder she wasn't very sleepy. She had been napping all day, so she really didn't feel tired at all. Destiny looked away from Jason's gaze and looked down at her lap. She knew telling him about her past wasn't going to be very tough, but for some reason she just couldn't look at him. She could feel her heart thumping when she did.

"O-okay, um…l-let's see here…" Destiny bit her lips, not really knowing where to start. "D-daddy is a successful lawyer and Mummy's a high-paying business woman or something. I-I never really found out, because every time I asked, sh-she would just nod and keep doing what she was doing." At this point, Jason had shifted and let out a low growl, which made Destiny jump. She looked up to see him writing something down on his notepad. By now, Destiny was used to his way of speaking to her. She actually preferred it over talking for some reason. Even though she was curious as to what his voice sounded like, she didn't want to force him to.

"Did they pay attention to you at all?" Destiny bit her lip weakly at the question. Now that she thought about it…

"They always have work to do, you know? Th-they're always out of the house. I rarely see them sometimes, and when I do they're on their cellphone or something." Jason started writing on his notepad again, so Destiny stopped and watched him.

"They don't make any time to see you? Not even on vacation?" Destiny gave him a weak smile, trying to block out the realization that was starting to fog her mind.

"Th-they work on weekends, too. And when there are vacations, they usually just go off somewhere together, like Bermuda or Hawaii."

"They don't bring you?" Jason looked shocked at this, and Destiny shook her head both mentally and physically.

"N-nope. Th-they always tell me that I-I should be doing work o-or doing schoolwork. B-but it's not that bad," Destiny said, adding the last part quickly to try and get Jason's mind off it. "I-I spend a lot of my time reading instead. I'm sure you saw all of the books I brought with me. I-I love to read. Sometimes I'll read to myself, and other times I'll read to the chefs and bakers while they work." Destiny gave Jason a glossier smile to give him the impression that her memories were getting better. "I used to hang out in the kitchen all the time. I would watch the cooks and bakers make breakfasts, brunches, lunches, appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, anything! They would always give me tips about cooking and sometimes they would tell me stories about how they became cooks. I loved it there! It was so much fun..." Destiny trailed off after a bit, her memories seeping in. She truly missed being home. She didn't really miss the glamour side, all the rich stuff, but she missed the cooks and the bakers, and her parents. But she knew she wasn't going to leave anytime soon.

"What about school? What is it like?" Destiny frowned a bit at Jason's question.

"D-did you go to school?" she asked. Jason shook his head, and started writing again.

"Mother didn't want me to go. She was scared I would get bullied. Do kids get bullied at school?" Destiny bit her lip again. Part of her didn't want to tell him about her school life, but since he asked...

"...Mmm, yeah. Yeah, kids do get bullied at school, and it's usually because they're different. Too different to be accepted by the rest of the kids." Jason looked upset at this. Of course he was different, so Pamela was right; he would have been bullied more than he was at camp.

"Were you bullied, Destiny?" She could see the dangerous glint in his eye, which made her face heat up.

"J-Jason, what's wrong? I-I, wh-why are you looking a-at me like that?" Jason's only response was to shake his notepad harder at her. The look in his eye was unrelenting. Destiny started to play with her hair out of nervousness, trying to avert her eyes away from his.

"W-well...I-I overheard things f-from other kids...b-but I-I was never bullied p-physically..." she glanced away, hoping he wouldn't take it seriously, but within a few seconds, Jason had got to his feet and made for his machete. Destiny felt body go numb in fright, and she made a pathetic effort to protect herself by yelping and covering her face with her hands. After a minute or two, she realized that Jason wasn't in the room anymore, and she looked about feebly, too scared to get off the couch. She looked out the window, knowing she wouldn't be able to make out much, and heard sudden smacking noises. She jumped and slowly got to her feet, trembling.

"J-Jason...?" She made her way to the door, and glanced outside hesitantly, her fear for the dark coming back. It was strange, because she wasn't scared in Jason's house, which was decently dark. She knew that there wasn't going to be any source of light unless she had the oil lamp that she had in her cabin, which was now in Lucy's cabin.

There were many flaws to the plan that Destiny was thinking of right now.

But she did it anyway.

When Destiny came back to the lake, bright oil lamp in hand, her body still slightly frozen over in fear, she still couldn't see Jason. He wasn't in the house, since she would have heard him by now, and she could still hear the sound of slashing. It sounded close, so she walked, slowly, toward the noises. She had managed to get some of her thoughts together as she made her way around Jason's home.

Did he hear intruders while he was listening to her story? She was sure Jason could hear more clearly than she could, so it was possible that he heard someone outside and he went out to kill them. The thought made Destiny sick. The last thing she wanted to run into was a body sliced in half and blood staining her skin. But her question was soon answered when she saw a large figure near a huge tree. The figure was slashing away at the tree with a machete, so Destiny obviously knew who it was. But she was stunned. Why was he abusing some poor tree? Has he turned his back on the wildlife too?

"J-Jason? Wh-what are you doing?" Destiny called out to him, holding out her oil lamp to get a better view of him. He had stopped when he heard her voice, and he glanced to her from his right. He seemed to be breathing heavily, but he slowly made his way back to her. Destiny watched him, but was more focused on the machete. It was filthy with dirt and tree sap, but that didn't stop her from feeling scared. He could still kill her with it after all. Jason walked passed her but not before taking her hand in his and guiding her back to his house. Destiny tripped over her feet as she walked along with him, staring up at him in fear. Did she upset him somehow? Was mentioning her getting bullied verbally at school reminded him of his past? Destiny trembled as he opened the door again and led her inside. He slowly pushed her down on the couch again, and Destiny quickly crossed her legs and placed the oil lamp in her lap. She watched Jason sigh heavily, as if he was trying to calm himself down, and reached for his notepad again.

"Do you live around here?" Destiny slowly tilted her head to the side as she thought about his question. She did remember the address to Camp Crystal Lake. It was 11 Sand Pond Road, Blairstown, New Jersey. Destiny lived on the very edge of Knowlton, New Jersey, which was right next to Blairstown.

"N-no. I-I live in Knowlton, but on the very edge. Wh-why?" Jason gave her the same dangerous look before writing again. The look made Destiny's heart throb nervously.

"You're lucky you didn't go to school around here, because I would have made you tell me the names of all the kids who talked down to you and I would have killed them all. Slowly." Destiny gasped. She looked at Jason in shock, heat rising to her face. He was so upset over something as simple as her overhearing kids making fun of her?

"J-Jason! I-I, p-please don't be so upset! I-I shouldn't have b-been listening to them a-anyway! Th-they could have been t-talking about another D-Destiny f-for all I-I know!"

"That doesn't matter. Just the fact you were bullied makes me want to kill them all. Everyone who ever did that to you. No one deserves that. Especially you. You're too…you're too sweet. If they knew the Destiny I know, they would all like you. Everyone would." Destiny stared up at Jason in shock, her face heating up more. Was he being serious? He was reacting this strongly to her being bullied so lightly? Even after what he had been through? Tears welled up in her eyes and soaked over her eyelashes before she could stop them. This man…he had been through so, so much, and yet he reacted so strongly to the lightest amount of bullying toward one single person.

Destiny started to realize that Jason Voorhees was much more than a serial killer in a hockey mask. He was a sweet, gentle, protective person. He had been through Hell and back, and yet he was still able to hold onto his heart for one person to see.

Destiny felt so proud that he chose her.

Destiny smiled at him softly through her tears. She could see the worry in Jason's eyes and watched as he leaned forward and pulled the oil lamp away from her. He hesitantly rested his knuckles lightly on her cheek, sloppily wiping the tears away. He was searching her face constantly with his eye, trying to find some way to get her to stop. He shook his head slowly, staring at her with a pleading look in his eye. Destiny could feel herself trembling, and she couldn't stop smiling. She hesitantly reached up to rest her hand against the one on her cheek. She could feel him tense underneath her hand and he looked at her in a more confused way.

"J-Jason…y-you're the best guy I-I've ever met…"

Jason looked at her, even more confused, and tilted his head slightly to the side. He leaned back and slowly took his hand off her cheek. Destiny laughed shyly and wiped her tears away.

"I-I'm sorry, Jason…I-I'll stop now, o-okay?" She gave him a soft smile and yawned. Crying can usually get you tired quick, even if it's just for a little while. But she was far too hungry to even think about sleeping.

"A-are you hungry? O-or do you want to turn in?" Jason was still giving her a lost look, as if he was still trying to figure out exactly what just happened. Destiny couldn't help but giggle. It looked really cute when he did that.

"J-Jason, I-I'm really touched that you reacted s-so strongly to me getting bullied just a little bit. I-It shows how much y-you care about me…y-you do care about me, r-right?" Jason quickly tensed at the question, and started to tug at his jacket sleeves childishly. Destiny watched him, fascinated, and he glanced away from her, averting his gaze constantly to different directions, anywhere but her. She could faintly see a tinge of red on his ears and the sides of his face. He slowly brought a hand up to the back of his head and gave a small nod. Destiny couldn't help but find it utterly sweet. She giggled softly and reached over to touch his jacket lightly.

"I-I…I-I care about you t-too…" Jason looked at her so quickly she jumped back. Her face slowly flushed red as she realized what she just said. It was true, though. She was starting to care about him, since he was treating her so well, but she never expected herself to say it out loud yet. Destiny began to shy away, curling her legs against her chest and pressing her fist against her lips.

"I-I…I-I-I…I-I'm s-sorry, I-I…" She looked away from him, feeling her body go rigid at the thought of Jason laughing at her or something. Her worst fear was realized when she did hear him laugh lightly before hearing the faint scratching of a pen on paper. She then heard the soft rustling of paper, which meant it was time for her to look. But she just couldn't. She was scared that Jason had made fun of her. She didn't want to make a fool of herself another way. She heard Jason sigh softly and shift a little. Destiny gasped when she felt her hand cup her face in such a gentle manner it didn't feel like it was him doing it. He slowly brought her face toward him and he showed her his notepad.

"You're a very interesting girl, Destiny."

"…I-Is that a good thing?"

"In this situation, yes."

"G-good!"

Jason laughed faintly.

Destiny and Jason peered inside the box at once, almost bumping heads in the process. Destiny frowned in confused as she pulled out a square package from the box, inspecting it slowly. Jason had noticed, since he was watching her. She showed him the package, and he slowly tilted his head to one side.

"What's ramen? Have you ever heard of it?"

Jason shook his head.

END CHAPTAH!

Whoo-hoo! Gotta love it when I finished a chapter, man! I feel so accomplished! *Nods nods* Anyway! Sorry if this took a while. I'm still kind of swamped. I'm thinking about creating a schedule or some kind so you all know when a new chapter is most likely going to be posted. I think I'm going to try and post a new chapter every Sunday. That way I can let people review and take in the story before I add another chapter. Besides, I like to be organized!

So, Destiny told Jason about her past. She told him that her parents don't really pay attention to her and that she was bullied only a LITTLE bit in school, and what does he do? He storms out of the house to slash a tree out of anger. Weird guy, huh? *Laughs nervously as Jason leers from a decently safe distance* I'm sorry if that seems weird for anyone, but I could picture him doing this. Destiny's starting to realize more and more that Jason isn't at all what she expected him to be. He's actually just a sweet, intelligent, protective guy. And he's the BEST! And how could Destiny NOT know what ramen is?

I hope I got the address to Camp Crystal Lake right. I had to look it up on Yahoo Answers. If I didn't get it right, let me know, okay?

So, I saw Freddy vs. Jason and I LOVED IT! It's my new favorite movie, seriously! It was so funny! I kept cheering for Jason every time I saw him make an awesome kill. My favorite kills he does is when he's being electrocuted and he slams the cop into the computer system and when he twists the raver's neck around and pokes him. Ah, it was fantastic! But, seriously, I felt SO bad for him during his dream! I mean, what's WRONG with people? Why would they let kids bully such a sweet kid? And Jason wasn't even bad-looking! He was actually pretty cute! Gah, it was SUCH a great movie! I hope I can buy it sometime.

50 reviews. Oh my Lord. I seriously had NO idea people would like this story THIS much. It feels so great! You guys are part of the reason I keep writing. The other part is just that I love this story SO much! So please review, guys! The schedule will start possibly this Sunday, if I can write a chapter by then!
