Secret [Eyeless Jack x Reader] Chapter 13

** JACK'S POV **

Giving myself a huge stretch before getting up, I sighed to myself. Another day, done. Can't wait to return back to her.... I wonder what (Name)'s doing right now... I stacked my proposals and files neatly on top of each other and stood up. Staring out the window, I noticed how beautiful the sky was and how green the grass was. Certainly, it would be lovely if I could go on a picnic date with her. Maybe I can do that with her one day, though I have to ask Slenderman himself, if he could construct a potion for me, to be able to consume human food, for maybe a day or so. That would be great... Although, I think he would rip me in half if I had asked that. It was pretty clear that he wanted no human interactions done by anyone... However, I broke the rule... But he didn't seemed as mad as I thought he would be... 

"What are you thinking about Jack?" 

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sudden question. I turned my direction over and to my tragic demise, it was BEN. I knew what was going on. Although I didn't mind talking and conversing with BEN, but... I knew that question of his just now was no question. I could tell by sensing his motives. I guess this is what happens when you have no eyes, you learn to perceive things with your senses instead, not that I'm complaining anyways. I knew BEN was just trying to get my attention. Attention which would inevitably result in sucking information out of me about (Name) or... hanging out with her. 

It's either one or the other.

"Nothing." I replied to his question nonchalantly, while shoving my files inside my folder and tucking them inside my suitcase. "Why do you ask?" Why did I ask when I knew the answer? 

"Oh. Come on, I bet you're dreaming about (Name)~!" 

I twitched my right bottom eyelid at how he articulated (Name)'s name with his voice. To be honest, I didn't want to be that possessive boyfriend. I was never this protective or dominating with Lucy... I knew for sure that I was a lot calmer. Maybe that was because I just didn't love her enough, probably. But I think it might just be in my nature to be protective and possessive towards someone I really love and adore.

I trust BEN and I know BEN wouldn't do anything bad to her or even throw a move on her either. BEN, himself, is able to communicate thoroughly and expressively towards human girls. For me, I am happy that he has this sociable side and ability, but I just hated the thoughts of how she will probably get really friendly with him... and well, have more fun with him than me. Man, was I fucking jealous or what? 

"Can I hang out with her some time this week?"

Ah, the question I had anticipated. I hated that question that just popped out of his mouth. Of course, hell to the fucking no, would I ever expose (Name) to someone who is... friendly and kind. That sounded quite pathetic and disgusting of me, to keep her locked up and to keep her all to myself. She's fucking mine. Wait... Isn't it rude to say I own her or say she is mine? She's not a fucking object or toy, she owns herself. We just hold each other's love, for sure. Man, what the hell is wrong with me. 

"Is someone talking? I can't hear." I joked a bit, trying to cut my nasty thoughts off, while walking away from the blonde and out the door chambers and down the hallway. I'm such an asshole to BEN. It's not like he meant any harm. "Must be a mosquito."

"... Jack! Come on bro." He whined, catching up to me faster and faster. "I won't do anything, it's been too long since I had any contact with a human. I want to experience some fun and games with someone other than Jeff, you, or L.Jack..."  

"No." I protested, pacing myself faster and away from the young elf. The ability I possessed saying 'no' instantly to BEN's question sparked and lit up. It was as if I had trained my neural pathway in the brain to say no to anyone who wanted to hang out with (Name) and create a wonderful experience with her. What am I to do with my jealous self?

My thoughts were once again, interrupted. BEN seemed to have control over the electricity circuit and combined his entire existence into the long light bulb that was connected throughout this long hallway. Through this sort of conduction, BEN was keeping up with my speed and kept pursuing his goal into making me say yes, while flickering the lights unintentionally as he moves through each individual light bulb. "Please! You'll be there too!" 

I groaned and groaned. I was anxiously getting annoyed. Not with BEN, but with how I envious I was.

Besides the fact of me being so protective and possessive, I also didn't want (Name) to fall into his gentlemen-ness. This was due to me not even knowing how to treat a girl right or be a perfect boyfriend to her. Because I was so envious at the fact that BEN could also do human things, just like Toby. Even though, (Name) said he loved every part about me.

"Come on man, just one night. It won't hurt." 

He's right. One night won't hurt anyone. I'm sure (Name) would be even more happy about talking to others rather than being confined in my room. Why was I being so selfish? It's up to her anyways, but knowing her... She'll probably agree on it.

I sighed and gave up. I spat against my will, but I did it.

"Yes." I was infuriated with what I had to say. But I really shouldn't let my personal feelings go on like this. I have to trust (Name) and you know what? This is a step for me to grow further and away from having these pathetic thoughts, for sure. 

BEN popped out of the light bulb, with a smile on his face. "Thank you, I wanna talk to her today!"

"Only with me with you then, for today." 

I sighed, unlocking the door and opening it. I was greeted with (Name) sitting on the bed with a book in her hand. How beautiful and gorgeous was she with her (hair colour) hair glistening against the moonlight as her sparkling irises spoke the world to me. BEN had transformed out of his 'electrical' form (since he is BEN drowned after all lol) and presented himself in a neat and elegant manner, standing right beside me. 

"Jack! Welcome back dear, how are you?" (Name) smiled, placing the book down on the bed. I looked oddly at her as she walked over towards my direction. That's at first. She had never really spoke to me in that tone of voice nor had she ever called me anything rather than Jack. (Name) proceeded to snuggle up against my arm, leaving me quite shocked. She seemed unusually... bold for once? 

"I-I'm good? I guess?" I stuttered a bit, not because I was embarrassed or nervous, but because I was a little freaked out at what had gotten over her. 

"That's great! Oh my goodness, I just wanna spend some sweet time with you Jack! No interruptions!" She eyed BEN, which led him to whimper. 

... What the heck? I pondered to myself as BEN walked himself out of the room. Well... Maybe... She just got too bored and this part of her came out of her system? ... But (Name) isn't the type of person to EVER make a move like this.

I shrugged her off gently and stared into her eyes. It was odd, it felt like she wasn't her? Though, I might be seeing things maybe. I have been at this meeting for longer than 5 hours. I might just be tired. 

"Jack, let's talk on the bed." 

** BEN POV ** 

That moment before I had left the building, err, I mean Jack's room.. I was a little weird'd out by how... friendly (Name) was. From what Jeff had described to me about (Name), she should be a shy little girl who stutters when she speaks and hides behind Jack whenever someone is around, essentially, the opposite of a sociable person. But, what I saw today was the opposite.

I also felt a strange aura leaking out from her body, particularly her soul. Although, I think it might just be me being hypnotized by the meetings and the load of information that Slenderman is throwing at us is getting to me.

But because of this uncertainty, I did sink a small portion of my life energy by throwing it into Jack's computer when he wasn't looking. From there, I can probably monitor what will happen for tonight, since I sensed something fishy that was roaming around her soul.

I took off and landed in my room.

** JACK'S POV **

It was night time now and I had completed my night routine. Walking out of the washroom, I was met with (Name). It had only been 2 hours and well, she had been acting really strange. I wasn't going to say this, but I was a little afraid and cursed myself for thinking this, but she resembled Lucy more than she should have any other day. Did something happen... Is she forcing herself to be like Lucy? ... Man what the hell?

"Ah, sweetie! Are you ready for bed?" She smiled, turning around and facing me with her... night gown. I wouldn't even call it a night gown. The gown was up to her hips, transparent. You could see her nipples hardening from the cool air in the room. She was only wearing a lacy underwear, which I cannot fathom entirely to how this fits (Name)'s style. However, to me, this was an invitation for intercourse, but... This just didn't feel right. 

I walked over to my bed with (Name) as she cuddled up against my arms. 

"Goodnight, (Name)." I pecked her forehead. She quickly reciprocated with a kiss, which shocked me a bit more. "Goodnight, sweetie." 

What the hell... This doesn't feel like (Name) at all... What's going on... 

With those thoughts repeating in my head, I fell into a deep sleep. 

** 2 HOURS LATER ** 

I woke up groggily to a heavy weight that was distributed on my lower abdomen. Yet, to my fullest capability of my reflexes, I instantly shifted my head to the side as a blade was intended to plunged against the side of my head, specifically, my parietal lobe area, where all my sensory and motor information were located. To my awakening, what appeared before me, was (Name).

W-What is going on? I was shocked and paralyzed by what was happening. "(Name)?" 

"Eh, wow. Should've carried it out quick."

"W-What?" I questioned, couldn't wrap my head around what had just happened, besides having the blade that was stabbed locating next to me. Great, there goes my mattress. 

"Hi Jack, I'm surprised you didn't recognize me. Perhaps, (Name) is all you think about now." 

Oh no... Don't tell me... I didn't want to admit it to myself, but could this be.... Lucy?

** YOUR POV ** 

"Lucy, stop!" You cried out, banging against the transparent wall that separated your soul from your body. In front of you, was like a cinema. A cinema of Lucy controlling your body and conversing with Jack. You had no way of getting out, you were trapped in her world as her 'soul' transformed out and took a hold of your body. "Please! Please don't hurt him." 

"You're such a dummy, (Name)." Lucy paused as she spoke internally to you, via telepathy. "I'm just borrowing your body." 

You didn't mean for this to happen. A few hours ago, you were prepared to take Lucy head on to protect Jack and yourself, even though you knew you had no physical ability of your own. You realized that before Lucy had launched a kick towards your lower abdomen, having befall by the feeling of vomiting bile from your body due to the intense pressure of the blow. She realized that you would be no match for her, as you had no physical capability in you... So she thought it would be a better idea to trap you in her world as she took over your body, to be you and to.... converse and to fool around with Jack. 

From there, you could see everything with your own two pair of eyes. 

And now, you wished you hadn't fallen asleep 6 hours ago. Lucy was controlling your body, right in front of your eyes. You watched her as she placed herself with your body on top of Jack, grabbing the blade she hid under the pillow she was sleeping on, she launched an attack towards him.

"NOOO, STOP!" You screamed, yet your voice wasn't capable of reaching anyone. 

To Jack's luck, he was awake and had fully shifted his head from the blade. His expression, even without his eyes were pained and agonized by what had just happened. 

Lucy responded to him, but in a pathological manner. "Wow, you're pretty good for being a hideous, eyeless monster." 

N-No.. This isn't me talking... Please, Lucy! Stop! I'll do anything. You begged, falling on your knees as you listened on and on at the curses she launched at Jack using your body. P-Please... You cried out. 

"Jack, you're a real piece of shit. Once I'm dead, you just leave me for this girl?" Lucy snorted, staring into Jack's eye sockets. "And to know that she looks exactly like me, it seems like you hadn't let go of me, huh?" 

"L-Lucy..." You cried out softly, hugging yourself.

"Well anyways, before you die, I guess I'll tell you why I'm here." Lucy paused, grabbing the blade that was stabbed against the mattress out. "You're a murderer, a monster. You took away my parent's and as well as Sherry, so I will take yours." 

She smiled, Jack gasped a bit. Before the swing landed, Lucy spoke, "Bye, bye Jack." 

"STOP, PLEASE. NO! LUCY!" You screamed, clutching your head, not wanting to see or hear the damage and not wanting to know that you have killed Jack with your own body.. Even though you weren't the one in control...

However, to your demise, you were shifted. That meant, Lucy was knocked over. You looked up against the transparent wall and was greeted with Jack's bloody hand. He had a hold of the blade before it had landed against his head again, but the sharpness of the blade did cut through his skin. Tears shed from your eyes.

"Lucy please, stop.... I'm begging you.." You cried out, pleading with her. "Just.. I'll leave Jack... I just... please..."

"What did you do with (Name)?" Jack confronted her, standing on guard. "What have you done with her?" 

"What are you talking about sweetie? She's right here." She pointed towards your body. "She's me." 

"Pardon?" Jack questioned, not letting a question dispose his position of defense. "I don't understand." He whipped out his scalpel blade from the table and gotten into an offensive position in front of Lucy. 

"Jack, if you lay a hand on me. You'll only be damaging (Name)'s body..." She paused, staring down at your nails, nonchalantly. 

"What?"

"Do I have to repeat everything?" Lucy rolled your eyes. "If you kill me, you'll only be murdering (Name)'s body, and if you do that. She can't return to her body. She's dead. Well, I guess the reward for you is to kill me again once more. I'm only alive because I wanted revenge, I guess my lust for revenge allowed to live again, although I'm probably dead after you die anyways." She paused, stepping closer towards Jack. "Once you're dead and I'm dead. (Name) won't have me or anyone similar to me to help return her soul back to her body. Hm, guess this is what it means to live with a monster."  

"..." He couldn't believe it. You couldn't believe your ears either. 

"Lucy, I'm sorry for what I had done to you in the past. I lied and I was deceitful. But why did you have to bring (Name) into this?" He paused, lowering his scalpel blade. "Please, this is only between you and I." 

She crackled. "You expect me to allow you to fall in love with her?" She paused, "not a fucking chance." 

** BEN'S POV **

Seeing what had happened through the monitors inside Jack's room, I had quickly poured my entire soul inside my computer and transferred over to his. I knew there was something fishy going on. I guess my senses aren't as bad as I thought they were. Damn, but that just means I can't take a day off from the meetings because I'm actually not as tired as I thought I was for thinking I was sensing false information.

Making my way over to the corner of Jack's monitor screen. I had decided to explore the clues of what could have led Lucy out or even interact.. Just the origin of this problem. I couldn't blow my cover though. As my eyes roamed around the room, I sensed something strange, a strange vibration coming from somewhere. My eyes wandered around even more, taking in every visual stimulation I could into my brain. Until... I landed on a certain book that was situated on top of the desk. Most of the vibration signals were coming out from there.

What is that book... I thought to myself. There's nothing electrical near it, I can't get near it. It's too far... 

"U-Ugh!"

I turned my full attention towards the situation. My eyes widened with anguish as I watched Lucy stab Jack against the chest. Though, it wasn't a vital hit because she hit the right side of his chest, not the left side where his heart was located.

Fuck, I have to do something quick. But... I can't do anything that will hurt (Name)'s body... What can I do... I could signal Slenderman and the others, but honestly... Lucy could do anything to (Name)'s body... And I'm not exactly sure if I have a chance to save her telepathically, but there is still a chance regardless. I have to try. Hang in there Jack....

"Ah, I missed your heart... But I did that on purpose. That was for stabbing my mother there." She stabbed him again, the same place but 2 centimeters away from the fresh wound, erecting another painful, yet silent scream from Jack. "And that one was for my father." 

Weak on his knees, Jack coughed up a bit of blood and bile. He couldn't do anything. 

Another blow landed against his right side again. He screamed, yet again quietly, in agony. "That one was for Sherry."

Oh my fuck... Jack... 

"The next blow, is for me. To your heart, for breaking it." 

Fuck, I need to save him now. He's going to die by the next attack!

"Hm, before that... (Name), you better listen up. I'm about to ask Jack a question." 

The moment Lucy had asked that, the vibration from the book strengthened up. It was as if... (Name) had responded to Lucy's call. No, I believe, (Name) is trapped in there.

"It's either you die by my hands right now and (Name) will be free, if you love her that much. Or if you value your life, then kill this body." She paused, smirking while holding her blade in front of Jack. "I'll be dead too." 

My eyes widened at the ultimatum Lucy had proposed. What a crazy bitch... 

"Choose your wish."
