Jeff the Killer x Alice Liddell: Chapter 22

Jeff’s P.O.V
Chapter 22:
I ran, my mind flooding with hate from Jane. I didn’t need to feed, I just needed to run, I just needed to let the cool wind wash over my hair as it whipped wildly behind my shoulders. The world around me was a meer blur, I let my insticts guide me around. Avoiding anyone and anything. Why did Alice have to be so damned curious? Couldn’t she see that it pained me to think about Jane. To think about everything she had done to us, everything that she did to me. Growling, I clawed at a tree with my long fingernails, I froze next to the tree. My mind frozen on the thought of Alice, as I regained my breath my mind raced with images of her. How I watched her transform, how I had watched her fight. How I am helping her, helping her control this hunger that will be so strong inside of her. Leaning on the bark of the tree I sighed, then a swift feeling washed over me. I was no longer alone, as an instinct I pulled out my long knife and gripped it firmly. The sound of crunching grass breathed slowly through the silence, I swung to look at my predator. Dropping my knife slowly to my side to realise that it was only Jack, “did I scare you Jeff?” he asked, chuckling to himself. He wore his familiar long black hood, his blue mask seemed to blend in with the heavyness of the night. The dark, black pits that once were his eyes constantly poured out tears of tar. I grinned and nodded at him, glancing around quickly. “What are you doing here Jack?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at his masked face. He sighed and replied, “I just had my feeding for the night..I was walking back home when I saw you here. Might thought to drop by and say hi” i nodded and looked at his clothing, his hands were wet with fresh blood. The sweet coppery smell coaxed my senses and I smiled. “smells good doesnt it Jeff?” he said, lifting his hands to his face. And taking a long drag, I nodded and licked my lips. “But I bet that Alice chicks blood smells better” I flashed him a look, raising an eyebrow and stuttered,“How..do you?...” “Dont worry Jeff, Im not gonna try anything. Its just...nevermind” I relaxed and looked out into the sky, “Good...because I would kill you” I growled quietly, not knowing whether or not I meant it. But stil he chuckled in reply slowly and said, “Ahh Jeff Toby told me about what happened and I would love to know, why are you so defensive over her? I mean, she’s just a girl...sure she is really easy on the eyes and I am really suprised you havent killed her yet” I heaved slowly, a feeling grew strong in my throat. I coughed trying to swallow it down, “Jack..she is just a girl. Just leave the topic and go home before any one see’s you” I leaned away from the tree and started walking away, I really did not want to talk to Jack about such little things. Such pointless things, and he didnt need to know. Jack ran in front of me, I could tell under that mask he was smiling, “C’mon Jeff stop!” he said playfully punching me in the arm. I frowned and continued walking, until he tugged on the sleeve of my hood pullin me back. I could feel his blood soaked hands rubbing along my clean white hoodie, the copper sense teasing me gently “Jeff, I’m gonna be serious now. How come when I asked about her, you just fucking walk off, why do you just ignore my questions about her. I mean dude, I havent seen you act like that since-since Ja-” I raised a fist to his face, holding it right in front of his eyes, “don’t say her name..Honestly Jack, I am not acting any different” I lied, Jack huffed, “Bullshit dude, you know you are. I mean you havent killed the chick yet!” I growled and replied, “Look okay maybe I’m working on that, besides I know that she will be nothing like..” I swallowed, I couldnt say her name. Pain heaved at me heavily, Jack patted my back and said, “Look...she’s just a girl. It’s just, you worry me sometimes...I’m just not used to seeing you act like this” he sighed and started walking off. I looked down at my hands. Wanting to scream, just how right he was.

Jack was so right, I did feel different that was for sure. Whether or not I liked it I didn’t know, but Alice made me feel different. I couldnt kill her, looking into those elusive green eyes would pang me every time I tried, let alone thought about cutting into her silk skin. I sighed, and yet a hunger would grow when I thought about her, when I was around her. I longed to soothe that hunger, watching her when she would hunt made it the strongest though. Observing her agile body, mercillessly murder anyone she wanted. A beautiful grin painted on her face, I shook my head and looked down at my feet. What’s wrong with you. The warm feeling panted in my ear, I looked up at the sky and frowned, clenching my fists I felt a slight hunger tinge at my lips. I thought of Alice, so much had happened to her. Society had tortured her, and I felt sorry for her. I griminced, sickened with my sudden sympathy towards a mere girl. How can you feel? The feeling questioned me, I shook my head. “Dont ask me such stupid questions” I growled back at it, I was not in the mood for this bullshit. But I wondered, how could I feel? Looking down at my hands I frowned, all I could ever feel was lust, hunger. A drive to kill, I was blessed with it. Although the voices could feel like a curse, pulling my hands to my sides I shook the thought away and straightened my back. I decided to walk back home.
