The mangled entrails of your friends slid off his blade cleanly with one swipe of his brutish hand. You shuddered out a breath, praying that he couldn't hear the silent sobs coming from you barely less than 5 feet away from him. Jason knew you were hiding, you were scared and he wondered why. His mother never told him to kill you, in fact, she adored you.

Your friends on the other hand, were stupid, alcohol abusers who his mother thought to be scum. He didn't want to upset you! You were so pretty..Jason huffed out a breath, he was sure that was the last of your friends, so it was just time for him to retrieve you.

You clamped your hand over your mouth upon hearing his heavy, thudding footsteps against the crunchy foliage of the forest floor. He was getting closer..and closer..and closer. You whimpered when they stopped just behind the tree you were sat against.

Jason's large, hulking figure came into your view and you sprung up in shock, ready to bolt for at least the third time that night, but he caught you just before you were able to make it a foot away from him, you flinched, silently crying and shivering in his grasp.

You flinched, your movements jerky as he raised his hand, you expected to be sliced in two, but that moment never came. Instead the large machete fell to the floor, and Jason's hand came up slowly to trace the outline of your face. It made you reminiscent of a child, fascinated by someone new.

A sigh of content escaped Jason, his mother cooed approvingly at the back of his mind, ignoring the confused expression plastered on your face as he attempted to show you affection. Isn't she just the sweetest thing, Jason? His mother hummed, the brute holding you letting out a grunt in response.

You hadn't realised how tall this guy was, your feet were practically just scraping the floor from how he was holding you, oddly enough the fear in your core had settled and had been replaced with bubbling confusion. It was clear now that he didn't want to hurt you..maybe you should try talking to him?

"Uh..hi? My names Y/N..and uh...could you put me down?" You asked, a little more confidently now that he'd established he wasn't going to hurt you like he did your friends...well, you just hung out with them because you were lonely..they were all pretty basic college kids.

There she is, Jason heard his mother chuckle, he guessed she was referring to your confidence, he was glad you no longer feared him, even if he couldn't tell you that.

Jason reluctantly placed you back onto your feet, he didn't really want to chase you anymore, but it was a nice surprise to find that you just stood there, awkwardly, but you waited for him. See Jason? Just be gentle with her..

"Can you not speak?" You asked cautiously, Jason was surprised at how easy you caught on, he nodded and you placed a thumb on your chin. Trying to think of a way for him to talk to you, before an idea appeared in your head.

"Okay. Nod once for yes and twice for no, okay?" You asked, Jason nodded once, and you grinned, "Great! You got it!"

Over the next few minutes you found yourself asking Jason many questions to which he nodded yes or no to, or wrote his answer in the mud. Although he murdered some of your friend-er..companions? You found the giant killer to be wonderful company, the best you'd had in a long time.

You found Jason really liked your face, he enjoyed tracing the outline and cupping your cheeks, you figured it must be a touch thing. But he always tried to keep as much muck as he could away from your skin, even though he was covered in it himself. It was sweet.

You paused as a shiver went up your spine. As if a ghost had hugged you, you snickered to yourself, probably nothing, although after just surviving a serial killer who in reality just wanted to talk to you, you wouldn't put it off your list.

As you continued to talk to Jason, the cold feeling around you tightened, Jason's mother smiled warmly, swaying side to side as if you were actually hugging her back, but before she let go, she whispered softly into your ear..

"Welcome to the family, darling."
