Chapter 5: Unhappy Smile
I sat on a bench across the road from Sally's house, holding onto a dark blue leash that led to a small pure black lab Pit bull mixed puppy,
"If I were crazy people like those two... Where would I take such an innocent girl like Sally to..." I mumble to myself, Pitt looking up at me with his chocolate brown eyes, tail wagging, I was surprised to see him not get all excited about the other people walking around, they must of trained him well so far... He seems more like a service dog than a guardian...
"Don't worry Pitt... I'll find her..." I say softly, placing my hand on his small soft head and petting him gently, his tail wags more. I pull my hand back and place my elbows on my knees and my face in my hands, for once in my life, I felt no emotion but boiling anger... And fear... The fear of losing my only friend...
It has been almost three days now since her disappearance... I still have the last message she had texted me... Now I know why she said it...
*small flashback to the last night reader spoke to Sally*
9:57 Sal- Hey uh... (Y/n)? You still up?
9:57 (y/n) - yea, why? Something on your mind?
9:58 Sal- actually... Yea... I'm worried about Pitt, how he'll be if I disappear...
9:58 (Y/n) - Sal, what are you talking about?
9:58 Sal - (y/n), promise me if something ever happened to me... You'd take care if Pitt until you find me...
9:59 (Y/n) - Sal, what are you talking about? You're starting to scare me...
At this point... I was about to get out if bed and go to her house...
10:00 Sal - Just please, promise me you'll take care of Pitt and train him well, I want to know you'll be a good friend to him like you are to me, (Y/n), no matter how long it takes... I know you'd find me, an' that you'd take really well care of Pitt... So just please... Promise?
10:05 (Y/n) - ........ I Promise.
*flashback end*
Remembering all of it I pull out my phone and look at my messages, I had every, single, message we sent to one another, even the ones when we first got each other's number... I shakily sigh and stand up, placing my phone in my pocket I grip Pitt's leash and start walking,
"Let's go Pitt... You probably have to potty and I'm sitting here torturing myself..." I sadly chuckle as Pitt barked, his tail raised high and wagging as he follows me, staying right by my side.
Entering the park, I walk over to where the small fencing for dogs was and let Pitt run around with the other dogs, I sigh and walk over to the bench, sitting down and rubbing my temples, still trying to figure out where Sal could have been taken... I look up to see confusion throughout people as they look at their dogs, that's when I turned my attention to the other dogs to see them cowering in the farthest corner of the fencing, but brave as he was, Pitt wasn't he was standing in front of what looked to be an over grown black and white husky, tail wagging as he looked up at the large dog...
"What the..." Something seemed and felt familiar about this dog, I stood up and walk over to the large husky and Pitt, kneeling down,
"Hey there fella." I say with a smile, to actually get a smile in return from the large dog, it was kind of... Creepy looking,
"Ah- heh, you can smile too..." I mumble, getting strangely creeped out... They stop smiling a d sit down, looking at me, Pitt follows suit with the large dog, but kept his eyes on them, thats when I noticed the dog didn't have a collar.
"Ah, no collar? Huh... Who do you belong to..." I ask myself, looking up at other people who were getting their dogs and leaving... It was actually already dark... How so soon? Was I so deep in thought that time flew by? It got to the point that I was the only person left in the small park, no one has yet to of come for this dog... I was sitting on the bench, watching as Pitt actually made friends with the dog... Thats when I came to a conclusion. I stand up and go over to them,
"Well it seems no one has come for you fella, how about I take ya home until we find your owner or a good home?" I asked, the dog barked and so did Pitt, I nod and pull out the leash, hooking Pitt's collar to the end of the leash,
"Oh shoot... No collar and I got only one leash..." I mumble, looking at the large dog,
"Ok... I'm trusting that you'll just follow me.." I turn and open the gate, the dog follows me out, pausing when I did to close the gate, I turn towards the bridge over the small river that circled the park and freeze, i look at the bridge, it felt so familiar to me... I know I've been here many times, but I mean... This exact night, full moon, shining down on the lake just right to make it seem to glow, and the stars just perfect as they danced in the sky.
As I was looking at the stars and moon, I didn't notice the figure sitting on the edge of the bridge, staring down at the lake, I walk towards the bridge and finally look forward, seeing the figure, I freeze and grip Pitt's leash, the husky that was following noticed my nervousness and starts to growl, Pitt copies the large dog, growling too, but I pick Pitt up and hold him close,
"H-Hello...?" I ask, the figure seemed to be male due to their shoulders and height... He wore a white hoodie, black baggy jeans, and black sneakers... When he turned, I couldn't see his face. But right then the husky stopped growling and lifted his head, his tail starts wagging and he runs up to the guy, almost pouncing on him,
"ACK!-" He falls over with the large dog on top of him,
"Oh god I'm so sorry! Are you alright! And... Is he your dog..?" I asked, running up to see the husky licking the guys face over and over again,
"Yea I'm fi- ugh Smiley stop!" He yelled, the husky, which he called smiley --strange name for a beautiful dog-- jumps off him and sits, then sitting up and wiping his face, I notice the deep cuts in his cheeks, like... A cut smile... After wiping his face he made sure to keep his hood over his face petting Smiley,
"Um... What's your name?" I ask, tilting my head slightly, trying to get a better look at him, my hair falling off my shoulders hanging sideways from my head, but he turned his head, tugging his hood slightly,
"Jeff..." He mumbles... Why was he suddenly so shy? Hmmm... I slightly smile,
"Well Jeff... Smiley here is such a beautiful dog... I've always wanted a husky... They are my favorite dog..."
((If Huskies aren't your fav dog, just roll with it))
Jeff looked at Smiley, then nods,
"Yea he is..." Jeff gently pets Smiley,
"I have another question..." I raise my hand hesitantly to my own cheeks,
"W-What... Happened?" He glanced at me for a moment, I once again catch a glimpse of the cut smile,
Please just be a cosplay or something..... I worriedly thought to myself, Jeff chuckled darkly and I swallow hard. Raising his hands he grips either side of his hood,
"Just one thing... Don't scream..." He whispered before pulling his hood off, my eyes widen and I almost fall backwards, raising my free hand to my mouth, fear started to swell in my stomach, my chest tightening as if I were being choked and not getting oxygen. Being completely frozen Jeff turns his head with a sigh,
"Figures..." He mumbled, "look... I ain't here to kill ya... More like... Watch over?" He questions his own words,
"W-Wh-what? W-why.... M-me...?" I was hardly able to form any words due to the fear and anxiety bubbling up even more,
"You have something a certain someone wants... But in order to keep that certain someone away, you can't know what that something is..." He stuffs his hands into his pockets, looking casual as if this was absolutely normal! How is this normal! A serial killer wishes to protect me from someone that's hunting me for who knows what! I swear I'm going to pass out...
"How about we just head to your house and you get some sleep... Its too dark to be out... You mother is probably worried sick..." Jeff mumbled, glancing around before pulling his hood back up over his head, his charcoal, silly black hear falling outside of his hood. Jeff turns and starts heading into the direction of my house, at first I hesitate, but I build up enough courage to follow him, Smiley trots after Jeff and Pitt was still as happy as he's been all day... Oh shoot, right, Pitt is probably starving! Gosh I'm such a horrible pet owner... Sorry Sal...
My house comes into view and the light turns on, my mother opens the door and she looks worries more than ever...
"(Y/n), there you are! Where have you been? I was worried sick!" She came down the porch stairs and pulls me into a hug, Pitt jumping up and down, happy to see mom too.
"I was at the dog park, I lost track of time... A.... A friend walked me home." I smile, turning to look at Jeff, only to see him nowhere in sight, Smiley on the other hand was sitting on the sidewalk, tail wagging and tongue hanging out, panting, plus to think of Jeff as a friend... Its... Weird.
"You mean... This husky?" My mother looked at Smiley quizzically, almost as if I was going insane now...
"No! This is his dog." I nervously say with a smile, Petting Smiley,
"Oooh~ So it was a he?" My mother grinned, placing a curled finger over her chin,
"W-What!? Mom! Its n-not like that!" I yelp and she laughs,
"Stutters says it all!~" she laughed, I growl and lunge at her, only for her to run up the porch steps and into the house, Pitt chases after her with a bounce, yipping happily, I race into the house after her as well...
~{3rd POV}~
Smiley tilts his head, his ears perked up,
"Go ahead bud..." Jeff said, leaning against the side of (y/n)'s home, arms folded, Smiley barks. He rubs up to the porch, jumping up and running into the house, barking excitedly. Jeff softly laughed, pushing off the side he goes onto the porch, reaching inside the door he locks it then pulls it closed,
"What are you doing here." A voice growled, making Jeff jump, he spins around to come face to face with the familiar navy blue eyeless mask wearer Jack...
"E.j. I thought you were-"
"Thought I was what... Out on a mission? No. Why the hell would I when I find out my girlfriend is alive again with no memories of me what so ever?" Jack's voice seemed more harsher than normal...
"E.j.... How the hell did you find out it was her?" Jeff asks and Jack falls silent,
"And another thing... Where the hell have you been? After the mansion was rebuilt you appear for a week then disappear! Slender has been looking everywhere for you-"
"If he truly wanted me, he would have found me." Jack cuts him off, he then turns,
"And Jeffrey..." Jack mumbles, making Jeff growl at his full name, Jack lifts his mask revealing a very pissed off expression,
"Leave her alone... Or I'll hunt you down myself and tear you limb from limb..." With that, Jack forcefully pulls his mask down and turns making a whistle, a large black raven flies down and snatches Jack off the ground, taking off into the dark night sky...
Jeff stood there puzzled, Jack never revealed his face to anyone... Other than Slender... But... That was the first time Jeff truly pissed off E.j... Let alone get an actual threat from the kidney eater... For once, Jeff actually felt slight fear from E.j. but he shakes it off and leaps to a nearby roof top over thinking that small conversation, he then nervously laughed to himself, looking down at (Y/n)'s home,
"This jobs gonna be fun..."
