Chapter 30
Eyeless Jacks POV
I rummage through the fridge, looking for anything decent to eat. I wasn't too successful on my last mission, so it's been a couple of days since I've last eaten. I sigh, pulling away, closing the fridge door, my stomach gargles as it begs for food. Agh, stupid mission.. I haven't eaten for a while, I'm getting weak and it's starting to effect it. I do not want to leave it to the last minute where I need to ask for help while in missions.. I refuse.
"Hey Jack. You got a minute?" Spoke a voice from behind me. It was soft and calm. Definitely a females voice. I slowly turn around, as Sadie comes into view.
"What is it Sadie?" I sigh in disappointment that it wasn't someone else standing behind me. She just scoffs, clicking her tongue.
"I don't want to be talking to you either. Not after what happened the other day, I'm still not in good terms with you!.. but, I'm here as a favour." She rolls her eyes, folding her arms as she waits for my response. Tsk. Sadie.
"A favour?" I ask, tilting my head as I plunge my hands into my pockets. I feel the sharpness of my scalpel as my skin comes into contact with the blade. I've had it for years and it's still as sharp as it was when I first got it.
"Yes.. a favour from [Name]." She nods, leaning onto one leg as it bends at the knee. My eye brow raises but of course, she doesn't see this due to my mask covering my features.
"From [Name] huh. So what's the favour?" I mumble sarcastically, licking my lips. The sound of a wet tongue touching skin rings through Sadie's ears. She grits her teeth, letting out an agitated growl.
"You're distrusting." She spat, picking up a cloth from the kitchen counter, throwing it at me, it taps me on the shoulder, tumbling to the floor. I just chuckle as I bend down to pick up it, placing it back where it was.
"She's asking questions Jack." I freeze on the spot. Slowly turning my head to Sadie. A frown forms on my features as I take a step towards her. She just glares at my mask.
"You think I don't know that?" I growl, staring down at Sadie as my height towers over her.
"She doesn't remember you Jack."
"I know that Sadie. Isn't it obvious? Have you only just figured that out?"
"She wants to know why you kissed her."
"What."
"Why'd you kiss her Jack?"
"That's none of your business Sadie."
"It is if it involves [Name]. I haven't know her very long but she's been a damn good friend."
"Tsk. You would soon forget about her if she died."
"That's a lie Jack and you know it!"
"Do I?"
There was a pause, we glared at each other as silence filled the room. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Why'd you kiss her."
"It's none of your business!"
"Tell me Jack! Or I'll march right up to [Name] and tell her everything."
"You wouldn't."
"Try me."
"You stubborn cow."
"What, what are you going to do? Kill me? It's a bit late for that now Jack."
"I should have killed you when I had the chance."
"I'm sure you would love to see my body in a coffin, but right now, I'm doing a favour for a friend. So either tell me why you kissed her and constantly keep saving her. Or go tell her yourself!" Sadie shouts, her voice echoing through the kitchen. Luckily the door was closed, otherwise the whole cabin would have heard her. I sigh, turning towards a drawer, pulling out a fork. I grip onto it tight before spinning round, lashing at Sadie. I plunge the fork right into her arm, causing her to wine in pain. I push her to the floor and step over her figure, making my way towards the door to leave the kitchen.
"Jack you fucking asshole!"
Readers POV
As my mind and body starts to wake, I jump but the sudden scream that fills the room. Holding onto my neck, I slide off the sofa and head towards the door. My body was sore but I could manage, the only thing that hurt was my neck.
"Jack you fucking asshole!" I hear a voice yell. This causes me to stop as I went to reach for the door. The scream sounded like Sadie..
As I remained paused in place, the door knob starts to wiggle and turn as someone tries to get it. I quickly snap out of my freeze and jump next to the door. This way, when it's open, I'll be hidden behind it.
After a while of the knob rattling, the door swings open, inches away from hitting me. I slowly and carefully lean forward to peak around the door. I was hoping to see Sadie or maybe Jack. But it wasn't. It was BEN and Masky. Oh god.. Sadie! Where are you!!
"Are you sure this is where [Name] was resting BEN? She doesn't seem to be here now." Masky spoke with an angry tone. I swallowed hard as my breathing became heavy. They're looking for me.. why?!
"Duh! I possessed the TV and saw her lying on the couch." BEN replied. I hear the sounds of footsteps and a light tapping of skin against leather. He must has tapped the sofa with his hand as a gesture.
"Well, she's got to be in here somewhere." Masky says. Pretty soon I hear two sets of footsteps, wandering around the room. My heart rate increases as I start to grow scared. Who knows what they are going to do if they find me. My breathing gets heavier and heavier, like a panting dog in a hot car during the summer.
Suddenly, I hear an extra pair of footsteps walk into the room. But I couldn't identify who it was.
"What are you two doing in here?" Growled a voice. The voice was deep and low. It echoed through the room as BEN and Masky came to a halt.
"Were looking for the kid. BEN, Jeff and I have a little gift for her." Masky chuckled menacingly. There was a pause in the room before BEN starting speaking up. I used this opportunity to move hiding places. If anyone was to shut the door, I would be screwed. I look around for any places I can sneak to without being seen. Luckily, this room composed of two sofas, so thankfully there was one close enough for me to crawl up to and hide behind. I crouch in the floor, ready to make a run for it when suddenly a figure drops into the sofa. It was Masky. I couldnt hide behind there now.. think [Name] thinks.. just then, I remember what my ability was. It was to shapeshift. So, I decide to change into what nearly all houses have. A dog. Ugh.. can't believe I'm gonna turn into a common house pet! This is so stupid! I grit my teeth before turning into a fluffy St Bernard puppy. It was lucky that it doesn't hurt anymore, or cause winds or bright lights, otherwise ide be spotted a mile away.
My transformation finishes in good time because as soon as I finish, the door was slammed shut, causing it to bounce back a little, open ajar. There was a silence in the room, followed by a gasp from BEN. He ran over to me and picked me up, holding me in his arms.
"Can we keep him!" He asks like a child, begging his parents to keep a stray cat he found on the streets. HE?! I'm a female asshole! I let out a growl, but being a puppy, it just looked cute. I struggled to get out of BENs grip but he wouldn't let go, so I done what all animals do. Bite. I turned my head, snapping down on BENs hand. He finches, dropping me to the floor.
"Stupid Mutt!" He spat. I took this as my chance to make a run for it, heading towards the door. Luckily it was still open ajar, so I was able to fit through.
"Guessing he didn't like you." Masky laughs as BEN stands there pouting.
I continue to run down the hall, I turn to check no one was following or near me. When the coast was clear, I changed back to human form, still running. I run all the way to my bedroom. Jumping inside and slamming the door. I pant heavily as I lean on the wall, sliding down to the floor as my heart rate starts to steady.
