Blue aura (eyeless jack x reader) pt 3
Warnings: mention of dead animals, decomposition, and blood.
The drive home felt like it would never end, you continuously thought about that blue thing you saw in the woods.
You couldn't help but feel bad for leaving Mark alone.
Even though you practically hated the guy, you didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
You took a left turn, leading to a rocky road surrounded by woods.
It was the shortest way, and by now you were ready to get home, and go to bed.
Some old country song coming from the radio, you reached to turn it off, when suddenly, a deer ran right in front of your car.
You slammed on the brakes, making anything you had in the back, fall, or fly up to the front.
Instead of running away, the deer just stood there.
Your eyes were locked on the deer, when it turned it's head, staring right at you.
it's eyes were gray, and milky.
It was bleeding from it's nose, and it's ribs were exposed, it wasn't near death, it was already dead, and decomposing.
The only thing drawing your attention away from the undead deer was the radio.
It started distorting, the singers voice going from high, to low and back again.
Then it started switching stations, going from country, to metal, to pop, while still distorted.
You pulled out your phone, but it was dead.
At this point your heart was racing, and your nerves were shot.
You know how you'll get a feeling that something is wrong, before it even happens?
Thats how you felt right now.
Staring into the deers lifeless eyes, something deep down told you that there was something wrong with this place, something vile, something that makes your stomach turn.
You always knew that this town was weird, and slightly off-putting.
But this is different, something is happening, something beyond comprehension.
Your fight or flight kicked in, you blew the horn trying to scare it away.
It definitely did something, because the deer stood up on its back legs before running off.
You wasted no time to speed off.
You quickly made it home, you locked all the doors, and windows, closed all the blinds, and put your phone on the charger.
You didn't even wait for your phone to charge before turning it on, and going straight to contacts.
You scrolled until you saw Mark's number.
You called once, no answer.
You called twice, no answer.
You called for the fourth time, and still no answer.
Your phone finally gave up and died.
Leaving you in a state of panic.
You ran to your room and pulled out your computer.
You hopped on your couch and immediately went to tabs.
"can animals come back from the dead?" Is the first thing you searched for.
You were displeased when the only thing that came up was about extinct animals.
"disease that brings animals back to life"
Once again, the only thing that came up was unrelated.
You huffed, still in a state of panic.
"woodland creatures that can bring things back to life"
You knew it was stupid, I mean, c'mon a woodland creature? Seriously??
You felt stupid for even looking this up.
Some website, titled "entities of the forest"
You hesitantly clicked on it.
Thank God for Ad Blockers and VPNs.
The website looked old, like it had been abandoned a while ago.
You scrolled a bit, when you found something.
A link leading to another forum titled "Slenderman"
It took you to a video, you pressed play.
The video started, and it showed an old window looking out into the forest.
The camera turned around to show a young man, about 25-29.
He had a nervous look on his face
He looked pale, he looked sickly.
(this next part is one of my personal headcanons for Slenderman)
"I've been having these hallucinations of him."
His voice was scratchy, and lacked volume.
"I'll see him in the corner of my eye, just watching me.
But lately it seems he's no longer satisfied with just watching.
He's started to get psychical, first it was random things in my house going missing, like documents, and note books, in which I kept information about him in.
But now he's starting to send "messengers"
If that's what you could even call them .
I've found that he can "revive" forest creatures, like rabbits, deer, mice, etc.
Last night, I woke up to a decomposing buck on my porch, using it's horns to slam into my door.
It was never able to get in, but I assume that was just a warning.
I've also started to notice that whenever I go into town at night, dead rats will follow me around.
Cornering me in alleyways, or simply watching me from a distance."
He had a tired look in his eyes, there was no spark in them, he had huge eye bags, and his hair was a mess
"Nobody believes me when I tell them about it, not even my therapist.
I don't know what to do anymore, I can't back out now, I'm in too deep."
He ran his hand through his hair, and leaned back into his chair.
"Recently, my father passed away under "unknown circumstances"
I don't know how, but he killed my father.
he'll probably kill my mother, and then-"
The video glitched, and switched to a shot of the forest floor.
You could hear his silent sobs in the background.
That's when the video cut off.
By this time it was already 2 am, your fear faded, but switched places with frustration.
You decided to just go to bed for the night, considering that the video gave you no answers, other than what's causing this.
You closed your computer, set it on the table, and walked to your room .
You didn't do your usual routine, heat up some leftovers, take a shower, and go to bed, this time you decided to just take a shower and hit the hay.
You flipped onto your bed, the soft pillows, and comforters deflating under you.
The lavender scented detergent you use creating, a soothing environment.
You got under the covers, and reached to turn your side lamp out.
You closed your eyes and got comfortable.
Too bad you couldn't go to sleep.
The thought of everything that happened kept you up.
The need for answers, plaguing your mind.
You did everything you could to try and go to sleep, from counting sheep, to making tea, but none of it would work.
So you decided to do some more research
What's the worst that could happen?
One more restless night wouldn't hurt.
