Eyeless Jack, aka EJ, was no role model. He hated children. He hated women. He didn't want love. He didn't need it. All he needed was kidneys to feed off of. He never meant to save that child, he hadn't even known it was there.

Slight rewind Child's POV

I adjusted my hood over my grey, pointed ears. I don't know my name. I don't know my age. I don't know what I am. I just know that I don't need others. They will only hurt me. I slipped undetected into an alleyway, sniffing for anything to eat. Anything at all would work. It wouldn't be the first time I ate say a human. So long as I could fill my needs. "The fuck is this!?" I felt a male pull at my thin, grey tail. I didn't make a sound, though it did hurt. I forgot to hide my tail.. go figures. I pulled my tail away from him and ducked behind the trash bins. "Hey! Come bac-" Blood spurted from his neck as a blade peirced it. The man dropped to reveal a blue masked figure in black. Tufts of aburn hair poked out from under his hood. Whatever he was, he wasn't a human, but he gave me food. I slunk out as he cut open the corpse and removed a couple of organs. Kidneys. Well if that's all he wanted.. I crouched next to him as his head snapped over to look at me. I ignored him, instead tearing into the body. He didn't look away. I didn't look directly at him. Not until he picked me up by the hood. I looked at him with red eyes, curling instinctively into a fetal position. So much for that meal. I licked my lips with a reddened tongue. I knew I wasn't strong enough to fight this demon, so I let him do as he wished.

^^

I found myself deep in the woods when the man dropped me. "Hunt." What was this? A test? Why did he want me to hunt? What would he do if I didn't hunt? I'd rather not find out. I started sniffing. Nothing smelled normal here. So much blood. Rotting flesh. Death. I picked up on something.. kinda living. It's probably the closest I would ever come so.. I started tracking it. It didn't look ok at all, but it was alivish and eatable. It was some sort of horse thing with scales. I crouched and stalked it, teeth bared and claws outstretched. The thing screeched when I lunged, blood soaking black scales as I scaled its- her- back. She bucked and twisted and I bit down for a better hold. I wrapped an arm around the things neck, trying to crush the jugular. It was weakening with the blood loss and I almost had it gasping for air. Then something else tackled it. A pale, humanoid creature with long, sharp claws. It shrieked for me to go away. That was my hunt first. I bared my sharp teeth, growling. "Enough." The creature fled as the man came. I stopped and looked at him. He looked to me than the kill. Then started to cut out the kidneys. "You're my pet now, got it? Disobey me or complain, you die." I nodded. Just listen and obey. I can do that. It's not like I talked anyway.

^^

I followed my new master. I obeyed. I didn't say a word. My ears flicked about as I tried to find any sort of sound. Nothing but our footsteps and dead silence. That was until the static started. I flinched at first, but I didn't complain. I didn't stop. After awhile the static dulled into a headache. Something to be ignored. Jack is that a child? "No. It's a pet." The thing spoke in my head. I felt bewildered, but didn't show it. Showing emotion was a weakness. The thing appeared as a extremely tall being with no face and tentacles. He has to be around Sally's age. "It is around Sally's age. I was always told to train em while they're young." Child, what's your name? I didn't respond. 'Jack' didn't say anything either. The creature decided not to say anything either.

^^

There were others. The female, 'Sally', tried to get me to play with her. I refused. 'Jeff' and 'Ben' tried to get me to talk. I didn't. I kinda just waited on Jack. He was my master. "Dude, what'd you do to him?" Jeff asked. "Nothing. It was like this when I got it." Jack snapped his fingers. I came and sat on the floor next to his place on the couch. "That's.. sad." Ben muttered. "What's with the hood anyway? Is he a mini you?"
"Like this when I got it." He replied again. It's a demon dog puppy. We all looked to 'Slenderman'. It's not human, some demon dogs can take human form. Being a demon himself, it's why he took it in. It's just a puppy in human form. That's why it doesn't speak. That's why it obeys Jack. It only listens to demons. "So what he's like Smile?"
"No. Demon dogs and hellhounds are completely different. Hellhounds don't like listening unless it benefits them as well. Demon dogs are loyal to a fault and do whatever is asked by it's master. They have no gender, unlike hellhounds, thus why I call it an it."
"It looks male though.." Ben commented. "It can appear as any gender it's master wants. Whoever changed it, wanted it male. So it looks male. Hood down." I pulled my hood down and Jack started petting my ears. Will you name it? Names bond it to it's master. "I know that. It's name is Greg."
"Greg?"
"Greg?"
Greg. I see..
Greg. I liked that name. Greg.
