You sit alone on your bed, looking out the small window into the forest. A ton of questions circle in your mind.

What did that 'masky' guy mean about Jack spying on someone?

Was it me that he was spying on? If so, why was he spying on me?

You lay down, getting overwhelmed with your questions. You can hear Jack in his room, cursing and yelling. He sure does get angry quickly...that's definitely something to remember in the future.

You hear jacks door open and slam,shut as he exits and comes stomping down the hallway to your room. You flinch as he throws your door open and comes inside your room. You sit up on your bed as he paces back and forth.

"Are you OK?" You ask quietly.

Jack stops pacing and turns toward you. "Do I look OK?!" He snaps.

Getting irritated with his attitude, you snap at him back. "Well I can't see if you are OK or not because of that freaking mask!"

Jack clenched his fists and starts to walk toward you. In a flash,he is pinning you down, with a hand around your throat. "Don't talk to me with that tone." He says in a low voice.

"Well you shouldn't snap at me when I ask you if you're OK. I was only concerned for you." You reply.

He loosens his grip a bit on your throat.

"You will get nowhere in life if you keep thinking about other people. Think for yourself, and you just might live longer." He says with an annoyed pitch to his tone.

You look away from him when you notice that he is staring at you from behind his mask.

"I'm sorry....can you get off of me now? You're really heavy."

Reluctantly, he gets off of you and stands up.

"I'm sorry about earlier...you really didn't have to go through that." He says.

"don't worry about it. Its fine." You reply.

Jack sighs. "I'm not the only killer in the forest you know." He says.

You look at him and wait for him to continue.

"There are other people...monsters, too. But we normally only come out at night. To kill, that is. Our master controls us. He is the one that makes us kill. I chain you up when I leave because I don't want you wondering into the forest with everyone else. At least not yet. Were not allowed to keep humans under possession unless they are used for torture, so I haven't told anyone else about you yet." Jack says.

"Who are the other people?" You ask.

"I can't tell you yet." He replies.

"Why not?"

"Because if I tell them too soon, they might kill you."

"Why don't you want me dead?"

"I...can't tell you that either." Jack says. "I have to chain you up now...I need to kill."

He chains your arm to the length of the chain connecting to the wall. Shutting your door softly, he leaves you alone yet again.

Authors note: sorry for the lack of updating. I've been kinda busy lately. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. :)

Oh, and if anyone has any cool ideas for the story, feel free to let me know. This includes chapter names. (I'm running out of ideas for them. Lol)
