《Laughing Jack X Reader》Chapter 28
Advertisement
It seemed like forever that [Name] lay unconscious on EJs operating table. I just wanted her to be okay.
"EJ, just know, if [Name] doesn't make it. I will not hesitate to kill you."
I state bluntly as I watch LJ stitch up her chest gashes. But once I finish, he pauses, slowly lifting his head to stare at me. To which he gives a slight nod, lowering his head back down and continuing to work on [Name].
"Hey LJ, I see she's missing a finger, did you do that?"
Masky asks. God that guy was nosey.
"Yes Masky.. I did, but that was before I started caring about her.."
I grunt as I roll my eyes, hearing EJ chuckle a little. That bastard, how dare he laugh.
Screw you EJ...
"I noticed it earlier so I had Hoodie make you something. Consider it a Freddy Krueger rip off.."
Masky speaks again, handing me a weirdly shaped chunk of metal. I have no clue how Hoodie found the time to make this, but after looking at it properly, I realised what it was. It was kind of like a bracelet which extended up into a ring that could go over her stump. Then had a sharp claw like blade attached to it. Only slightly longer than the average finger.
"But just know, once you get it on her hand, it probably won't be able to come back off without needing to break her hand.."
Masky adds. To which I nod and take [Name]'s hand, forcing the bracelet on, making sure her stump was in the ring. The blade was now her new finger.
"Okay, I'm done... I'll now inject her with some adrenaline to try and wake her... but, LJ, don't think I've not noticed the blood coming from her ears. There's no way to tell yet, but be prepared she may wake up without her hearing.."

EJ speaks in a calm yet stern voice. I never understand him. It's like he has multiple personalities. But I was just thankful he was helping [Name].
I nod my head and take a deep breath as EJ injects her. After just a few seconds she suddenly takes a huge deep breath, like she was previously being suffocated and could finally breathe.
She sits up frantically and looks around, a confused expression spread across her face.
"Uh... W-where am I?... who are you people?.."
she speaks and all of gasp a little in shock. Even EJ seemed surprised. Had she...
"Do you know what your name is?"
I ask her as I watch her trying to figure things out, looking down at herself and gazing at her wounds and metal hand fixture.
"Um.. I dont- .. uh... I'm not sure... do you know who I am?"
She says looking up at me. She clearly hadn't lost her hearing.. just her memory.. She didn't look scared or upset or hurt. She just looked lost and confused. Like an abandoned puppy..
"Your name is Blade. You live here with us."
EJ suddenly speaks, lying right to her face. I didn't know how to react, I look at Masky and Hoodie but they both just shrug at me. What help they are .
"B..Blade?? Seriously?"
She questions, her face filled with disbelief. I think she even found it funny.
"We're all named after our aspects. I'm Eyeless Jack for obvious reasons. Your aspect is your hand. Hence your name."
EJ speaks once again. I can't believe how he is coping with this. I can't stop panicking. How long could we actually keep this up..
"Oh.. okay well I guess that makes sense- WAIT... EYELESS??!!"
She suddenly snaps her head at EJ in complete shock. To which EJ just laughs and nods before speaking again.

"Look. This cabin is full of monsters and murderers. You're one of them. You just had an accident. So you're going to have to learn it all again.
"Murder?!"
"Yes. It's fine, LJ will retrain you."
EJ finishes speaking and instantly starts leaving the room taking Masky and Hoodie with him. Leaving me in the room with [Name].
"I guess you're LJ?"
She asks, tilting her head. I feel like I should take advantage of this situation. If she has no memory of anything. Then I can make her believe anything I want. I create her a fake life she never had, benefiting my feelings towards her..
"I am LJ.. um. I'll show you around and teach you the ropes. But, before I do. Do you have any idea who I am ?"
I ask as I take a step closer to her. Her eyes don't move from mine as she stares at my face, trying to work out who I was.
"I'm sorry.. I don't... should I?"
I can't believe what I was about to do. But I have to do this. I feel this is the only way.
"Before your accident and before you lost your memory. We were dating and we were in love."

600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme.
