Jane and Jeff slashed at each other outside of the tent where Jerry lay completely unbeknownst to the tense battle taking place . His pulse was weak but it was still there and he knew he had to fight to keep living with his father in the world that he'd known.

"p..a app..."

Came his soft voice but Jeff wasn't there to reply to his call. Afterward Jerry just fell back to sleep, his body was so very tired.

Jeff was more determined than he ever was not to lose to this psychotic bitch as not only his , but that kids life,depended on his capability to win right now. He studied the female killers movement and made sure that he could strike with little bother , but this being his nemesis, he knew it'd be an uneasy task.

"Why the fuck are you so interested in him?!"

He shouted at the woman, who rushed in with an upper cut to the jaw. Jeff staggered backwards and wiped away blood from his lip.

"He's to do with you, but also not..he's got a strange aura to him. If he is to be saved from the hell you put him through, it should be by a mothers hand he is raised."

At this Jeff felt his anger boil. Just how dare the bitch say his parenting ways were flawed. As if she could do it any better than what he had done the past few years they'd lived together. But now, was not the time to get parental anger, now it was the time to get revenge for his son being near enough killed. As he'd said before, if he's going to die then it's by the hand of the one who raised him.

"You think he'd go with you or even pay any mind to the bullshit you feed him!? He knows full well to listen to his father, I've got him pretty much trained at the heel by now. So you can give up on that notion of taking him. He's mine."

Jeff snapped at here as he brought his knife into the side of her leg , this made her fall down and grasp at the wound but Jeff kicked her onto her back and stabbed her in the shoulder. She spat out blood and tried to crawl away but Jeff dragged her back by the legs.

"Oh no, you ain't crawling away this time."

He stabbed her in the spine and listened to her crying out in anguish. Jane couldn't feel anything from the waist down.

"Now. You be a good little bitch and wait till I get back, then I'll enjoy skinning you the fuck alive."

Jeff left the knife embedded in her back. It wasn't like she could reach anyhow.

Jerry was breathing slow but a lot steadier than what he'd been before. His eyes were slowly opening and the first thing he'd landed on was his fathers face. A small smile etched onto the child's face.

"Hay, sleepy head."

The male said to him with a laugh. The kid was fine, that's all that really mattered . But now he had that bitch outside. Wait...the bitch hurt him..and now..he was awake... This gave the man a very cruel and evil idea.

"Hay, kiddo. How do you feel about a show?"

Jerry's brain was still very foggy but he nodded regardless. What show could he have meant?

Watching his father leave, he tried to strain his neck to look up but he couldn't see past the tents opening. After a few minutes he saw his father dragging the woman that attacked him in with a gag on. A look of sheer anger flashed onto Jerry's face. What would his father do to her?

"Well, son. Pick what her punishment should be. She damn near killed you so what should I do to her as payback."

Jane with her gag on tried to bite it off but she wasn't able to. If she didn't hurry then that fucker was going to fry her. She looked at the child and felt his hatred reflecting onto her being. She did deserve punishment, but not to die. It was in her nature to kill anything that Jeff had infected. To stop others from being like himself.

Jerry felt something in him ..but it was stronger than normal. It was like a thirst that needed to be fufilled. A darkness that over clouded his better judgement, resentment maybe?

"Slit her throat."

Came out his mouth before he could even process it but as soon as he did he felt numb. No he didn't mean it, he didn't mean to say that. But it was too late. His father lifted her by the hair and whispered.

"I'd say sorry, but I'm not , goto sleep bitch"

With a slash, Janes neck was cut open and crimson blood spilt out like a river. Jerry felt his eyes widen...no..he caused this to happen, he never wanted it to but it did. Why did he not feel better after that? Why was it he was filled with an even deeper sense of regret and sorrow.

"Heh, guess she's not so everlasting, after all."

Jeff whispered as he looked to the kid who just stared in shock at the amount of blood. The male walked over and pulled Jerry to him in a close embrace. Something that Jerry hadn't ever experienced from his father, it caused him to freeze .

"I told you, kiddo. Daddy is all you have. People..people are the real monsters...daddy just puts the bad ones to sleep...just like he put that bitch to sleep."

The male said quietly to the child as he looked at him.

"You won't ever have to be scared again. Cause daddy will make all the monsters vanish. Understand? You just have to trust what daddy says. He'll keep you safe."

Jerry nodded and returned to the embrace of his father. For who knows when he'd get such an act of affection again from him.

"Yes..father..."

A sinister smile twitched onto the boys face, but just as fast as it came, it'd gone again. But not unnoticed, Jeff knew something was beginning to change in his child. And he intended to push it out as much as he could before his dying day.

---

A few days later....

---

Jerry had recovered plenty from the ordeal before hand. He'd also returned back to school as well, it was like nothing had even happened. Jeff was planning the next act on their previous victim. Since now that bitch was dead and gone, there was nothing to stop them from attacking again.

The boy was sitting at lunch when his friend Sara walked over and sat with him but something was not the same with her. It was like she was smiling but she was trying not to cry as well. He put his sandwich down and offered her a tissue.

"...Jerry ..."

She said with unease.

"Yea?"

He asked her and retracted his hand with the tissue but she stopped him and then gulped.

"I um..are you.."

Jerry was very confused now, and he was starting to get nervous . The look she gave him, did she know that he'd broken into the house.

"Jerry..I've seen you before...your name.."

Sara said and this sent a shock right through Jerry as now, he was completely lost.

"What...do you mean Sara?"

Sara bit her lip and then rubbed her arm softly. Should she be doing this? It was not really her business ..but if he was in trouble..she wanted to help. Jerry lightly grabbed her by the arms.

"Please! Sara...if..if you know anything ..then I have to know!"

Jerry begged and Sara nodded.

"Come with me to the computing lab...I..I saw an article and..it had a boy with your description on it."

Wasting no time, the boy grabbed his friend and rushed to the room. For reasons unknown. He had a very sick feeling in his stomach, and something told him...that his life was about to change and not entirely for the best.

---

Ooooohhh the plot thickens. Will Jerry finally see the truth and find out all the lies he's been told or will something interfere? And now that Sara is involved. Will her life be in danger once Jeff finds out?

Just gotta read and see.

Also what's with that dark side to Jerry? Will it come back again?
