Blue aura (eyeless jack x reader) pt 4
I've decided to give this more parts than I initially said, because there's nothing I love more than a slow burn, and I realized if I only made 4-5 parts, I'd have to rush ej and y/n's relationship, or make two REALLY long chapters 💀.

Warnings: mention of alcohol, cigarettes, cursing, police, murder, and guns.
Readers POV:
It was 5:30 am, usually at this time you'd be eating breakfast, and then getting ready for work.
but instead, here you were. sitting in your bed, wrapped in your blanket, staring at your dying computer screen.
You'd been researching the "Slenderman" for hours, yet you couldn't find any reliable source, just a bunch of bullshit websites that were filled to the brim with pop-ups, and sketchy "external links"
By this point you were starting to believe that all of this was fake, that the video you found was just some stupid video made to scare people.
But if it was, how did he know about the animal revival thing?
All of this was giving you a migraine, so you decided to give up for the day, and come back to it later.
You kicked your legs over to the side of the bed, you lifted your arms above your head and stretched.
You stood up, your legs were sore from sitting in the same position for hours at a time.
You walked over to your closet, and pulled out your work shirt.
You got dressed, and walked into the living room.
You decided to just get something to eat at work.
You grabbed your keys, wallet, and your phone and headed out the door.
You got into your car, little raindrops falling onto your windshield.
The sky was grey and cloudy, the pitter patter of the rain making you sleepy.
You ignored the tiredness and made your way to work.
----
(this next part will probably not be accurate, because I have no clue how it works on crime scenes, or how they interview possible culprits.)
You finally got to work, only to find multiple cop cars surrounding the building.
You parked on the side of the road, pulled up the hood of your jacket so you wouldn't get wet, and walked under the police tape.
You also noticed that marks car was still there.
Your heart beat increased
Maybe someone tried to rob the store, or maybe there was a fire or something else.
You were sure that mark called the police, and that's why they're there.
There's no way something bad happened to someone as strong as mark.
Right?
Usually by this time he'd be gone.
You quickly made your way to the front of the building where you saw mrs mitchell
She had her head in her shaky hands, her chest was heaving up and down.
y/n: "mrs mitchell?"
She pulled her head away from her hands to look at you, she looked extremely distressed.
Her clothes were soaked, and so was her hair.
Tears were streaming down her face, her teary eyed husband, mr mitchell was right beside her, hugging her from the side.
Mr mitchell: "y/n-"
He was quickly cut off when a police officer tapped you on the shoulder
He had blonde messy hair, a little stubble, and black rimmed glasses.
???: "are you a relative, or a family friend?"
His voice was husky, and by his tone, it was apparent that he was mad about something .
Y/n: "I'm a family friend, but I also work here, what happened?"
Mrs Mitchell started crying again, her sobs growing louder each time.
???: "Come with me."
He harshly grabbed you by the arm, making the hood of your jacket fall back, and dragged you into the store.
Along the way, you saw a red stream of water running from the side of the building.
Red?
Your heart sunk.
He walked into the store, still dragging you along.
There you saw another man, he had a serious look on his face.
He was bald, he had a beard, and he was quite tall.
He turned to look at you, by the looks of it, he was a detective.
The officer dragged you to a booth and sat you down.
???: "Now you stay right here."
His voice was demanding, but it had another layer to it, maybe malice?
He walked away from you and over to the detective.
They were talking about something, but it wasn't loud enough for you to hear.
It wasn't long until the detective walked over to your booth.
Detective ??: "Well hello, I'm andre smith."
His voice was not as deep, and angry sounding as the other officer, he had a gentle energy surrounding him.
He sat himself down in the booth, right across from you.
Y/n: "y/n, l/n.."
Andre: "now, i'm sure you're confused.."
You slowly shook your head yes.
Y/n: "what happened??"
He hesitated for a moment
Andre: "I'm gonna put this as blunt as possible."
He sighed, and readjusted his tie.
Andre: "your coworker was found bludgeoned to death about an hour ago."
You looked like a deer in headlights.
you knew you shouldn't have left him alone.
Yet you did.
It's your fault.
It's your fault he died.
Andre: "the manager of the auto part store across from here found him, he was-"
He took a sharp breath in, then cleared his throat.
Andre: "he was so unrecognizable, the only way we knew it was him was because of his name tag."
You didn't even notice the tears that started streaming down your face, you just sat there, in a state of shock.
Andre looked away for a second before he started speaking again.
Andre: "it also looks like the culprit took things from the store as well."
He reached, and grabbed a few napkins out of the dispenser, and handed them to you.
His wedding ring glimmered in the light.
Andre: "hey Marshall!" he shouted.
And over came the other cop, the rude one.
Andre: "this is my partner Marshall, Marshall Lambert."
Marshall slightly rolled his eyes.
Andre: "I know this is probably hard for you to handle, but if you don't mind, we'd like to ask you some questions.."
Ejs POV:
He walked through the woods, sticks and leaves crunching under his boots
It took him about an hour to make it home, and other than almost getting hit by a car, the walk home seemed alright.
But then again, I guess just about anything would seem alright if you're tipsy enough.
He finally made it to his cabin, the door creaked when he opened it.
He barely made it in without falling.
He closed the door, and slammed his back against the wall.
There he saw a certain killer laying on his couch.
Ej: "Jeff.. what the fuck are you still doing here?"
He leaned against the wall, and brushed his hands through his hair.
Jeff: "what, are you blind?"
He slightly chuckled and got off the wall, he walked to the couch, and pushed the jeff's legs onto the back of the couch.
He flopped down, making dust fly everywhere.
Ej: "I kinda hoped seedeater would've eaten you by now."
He exclaimed
Jeff: "ha ha... so funny."
He rolled his eyes.
Jeff: "you got my cigarettes?"
He looked at the bag in jacks hand.
Jack reached down, and pulled out the pack of cigarettes.
He handed them to jeff.
Jeff: "Shanks? This brand is ass. There weren't any others??"
Ej: "the lights were out, and I couldn't see."
Jeff groaned as he sat up against the arm of the couch.
He opened the box, and pulled one out.
He held the cigarette between his lips.
He got a lighter out of his pocket and lit it.
He leaned his head back, and took a long drag from it.
Ej: "I told you to get out of here once you started to feel better."
Ej: "you should've been better by last week"
Jeff let out a puff of smoke, before looking back at jack.
Jeff: "*cough cough* aye, but I've got the black lung sir"
He said while attempting a British accent.
Jack sighed.
Right then jeffs stomach started growling
Ej slowly turned his head towards Jeff.
Ej: "you want some takeout?"
Jeff started smiling, making his scars grow wider.
Jeff: "hell yeah!"
Ej: "fine.. but you're driving, my head is pounding."
Jeff lifted an eyebrow, confusion apparent on his face.
Jeff: "we don't have a car dumbass."
Ej: "then we'll just have to get one."
His mask slightly moved, it was clear he was smiling under it.
------
The two men crept through the bushes of a scrapyard, they had their sights on an 1990 Honda Accord
A headlight was missing, one of the doors was a completely different color, and the back windshield was cracked.
It was a hoopty.
The perfect car for two serial killers going for some takeout.
Jeff grabbed a rock and made his way over to it.
Ej: "what are you-"
*𝙎𝙈𝘼𝙎𝙃*
If ej had eyes, they'd be wide open.
Jeff climbed through the broken window
Not long after, the car started sputtering, after a few tries, it finally started.
Jeff: "are you coming or what?"
He yelled, he clearly wasn't worried about alerting the owners.
Jack ran out of the bushes, and to the passengers side.
He pulled the door handle, but it wouldn't open.
Ej: "unlock the door Jeff.."
He continuously pulled on the door, if he pulled any harder he'd probably rip the door off.
Jeff: "it is unlocked, the doors just fucked up."
He loosened his grip on the handle, before finally letting go.
Jeff: "looks like you'll have to sit in the back"
He gave ej a shit eating grin
He reached behind the passenger seat and opened the back door.
Ej squeezed in the back, his legs were too long so he had to hold his knees up.
His head touched the roof of the car.
Jeff put the car in reverse, the car screeched as he took off.
He turned the radio on, some rock song blearing.
Right as he started to put it into drive, an old man came out of the building, he had a pistol in his hand.
Jeff: "oh shit!" He cackled.
Jeff slammed on the gas, making ejs head fly back.
The old man started shooting at them, but luckily he was missing most of the shots.
The man was yelling, but his words were unintelligible.
Jeff: "GET DOWN JACK, GET DOWN!!"
He yelled
Ej: "I CANT GET DOWN"
He yelled back, while digging his claws into the passengers seat.
Jeff took a tight right turn, causing ej to fall down into the backseat, ripping the passengers seat, causing cotton from the seat to fly everywhere.
The man shot at them again, this time breaking the backseat windows.
The old man shot at them once more, but they were too far away.
Jeff: "WHOO!"
He was laughing so hard he could barely breathe, while ej was still holding on for dear life.
They finally arrived at their destination.
Jeff turned off the car, and lit another cigarette.
The rain hitting the windshield, creating a comforting atmosphere.
Ej: "hey jeff.."
Jeff: "yeah?"
He turned his head around to look at ej.
Ej: "mask, or no mask?"
He removed his mask.
Jeff: "oh dear GOD.."
He dramatically gasped, and covered his mouth with his hand.
Jeff: "yeah, you should probably keep that on."
He said as he took another hit of his cigarette before putting it out.
Jack huffed, and pulled the hood of his jacket up.
Ej: "whatever man.. let's go."
They got out, and ran through the rain.
They quickly walked into the restaurant, the bell on the door making a familiar jingle.
A little old lady came out from the kitchen.
???: "Hello, welcome to-"
She gasped, her eyes widening.
Jeff: "yo, we're here to pick up an order for..."
Jeff looked at ej expectantly, but he was focused on the downpour outside.
Jeff: "dude."
He nudged jack, causing him to snap back to reality
Ej: "oh uh- Roy."
Jeff: "PFFTT ROY??"
He burst out laughing
Ej: "well that's your name isn't it?"
Jeff: "that ain't my fucking name"
Jeff stopped laughing, and harshly elbowed EJ.
???: "I'll- I'll get that right away!"
She quickly rushed off, back into the kitchen.
When she came back, she was holding a carryout bag.
She handed Jeff the bag, her hands were shaking, and she refused to make eye contact.
She went over to the cash register.
???: "That'll be 15,95"
Jeff: "you disrespect our looks, take forever to get us our food, and now you expect us to pay such a heinous amount of money? Ugh, I'll be leaving you a bad review on yelp."
He crossed his arms, and walked out the door.
Ej: "sorry about him.. he's uh- he's drunk."
He gave her a slight smile, showcasing his fangs.
He pulled out his wallet and handed her the money.
Ej: "keep the change."
