"P-please stop.."

I whimper, staring right into his eyes as tears begin to fill in mine. After what happened with offender doing something similar, I'm petrified of it happening again. In all honestly, if I do get out of this alive, I'll forever be scared of a mans touch..

But after I speak, his eyes dim from red back to their original dull colour, the smirk also dropping from his face. He lifts his free hand to my face once again towards my eyes, causing me to squint my eyes shut and flinch away as much as I could under his grip. He pauses for a second, opening my eyes, I saw him calmly looking at me, slowing bringing his hand back toward my eyes, wiping away the tears that were dribbling down my cheek.

"Why..."

I whisper, my voice shaky. He was so confusing, first he wants to set me free, then gets all aggressive but instantly stops when I start to cry.

" You make me weak"

He sighs as he lets go of my neck, stepping away from me and helping me up by my arm.

"Usually if a target is crying and shaking for fear, I love it so much it'll make crazy and very violent. But yet, I see you cry now and... I just can't do it."

He says with his head hanging low, still holding onto my arm, but his grip wasn't tight or anything like that. It was soft, like when you hold someone's hand.

"I... I don't understand.. -"

"Neither do I. That's why I need to get you out of here as soon as possible. But that's going to be difficult."

He says as he starts heading for the door, still holding onto my arm as he leads me out the room and down the hallway.

"Stay as close to me as you possibly can."

He whispers in an ordering tone. But I do as he says as stand behind him as close as I could without stepping on the back of his feet.

We reach what seem to be a kitchen, appearing to be empty. Or so we thought.

"L-LJ? Wh-what are you doing? Are-are-arent you meant t-t.. to be busy with-"

"Ah yes Toby.. Um. I am doing that I just need Uh... some salt! For her wounds.."

Just hearing him say that made me twitch, that sounds so painful I don't know how I'd be able to cope with that.

"Could you grab it for me I don't know where it-"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

A voice yells from behind us. I instantly freeze and grab onto the back of LJ. I hear him grunt 'fuck' under his breath before letting me go and turning around, to which I also turn around, just to come face to face with the white hoody guy with the slit mouth. I instantly feel LJ wrapping his arms around me, holding me close to his chest, like a hug. I hear him wince a little, guess his ribs are still sore.

"I SAID, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

He yells once more, his mouth opening very wide due to his slits. The guy with the stutter walks around us to stand next to him, only to gasp when he sees me.

"That's got nothing to do with you Jeff."

LJ growls, pulling me closer to him. I could practically hear his heartbeat through his chest at this point.

"Well to me it looks like you're letting her go"

Jeff says, reaching into his hoody pocket, pulling out a knife that appeared to be covered in old dried blood.

"I can't let that happen."

He charges at us with his knife, I gasp and slam my eyes shut, listening to thumping footsteps followed but a loud grunt of pain and the sound of the blade piercing skin.

Having felt no pain, I slowly open my eyes in confusion, only to be shocked by what I saw. LJ was still holding me with his right arm, but his left harm was fully extended out in front of me, Jeffs knife stabbing right through his hand.

"LJ!"

I shriek after what I saw. Why was he protecting me? I know he wanted to let me go but I didn't think he'd be so protective over me to go THIS far.

"Awww see that! He cares for you, ya little brat!"

Jeff snarls in a strained matter as he desperately tries to push more into LJs hand, trying to make him pull away.

"You know I'm stronger than you Jeff."

LJ grunts in pain as he pushes back against Jeffs force, the blade piercing through his hand even more. All the way down to the handle. Blood dripping from the tip that was exposed on the other side that had traveling through.

"But not stronger than him"

Jeffs angry expression curls into an evil grin. I instantly feel LJ tense, his grip on me tightening before going loose, his arm dropping away from me as he falls to the floor. Quickly spinning around, I see LJ unconscious on the floor with a needle in his neck. I look up to see a tall figure with a dark blue mask, black tar dripping from the eyes.
