WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT GOD FORSAKEN NOISE ? But he doesn’t need to ask that, does he? No, he’s well aware of the fact that the Nurse has found his trail with intent to follow it. Jake is more terrified than usual, legs seemingly STUCK TO THE GROUND, far too heavy to carry him any further as she nears. All he sees is a blur, eyes widening as arm comes up to brace for the worst. He expects to meet chilled jagged metal, to feel it rend flesh and seek to saw bone, but what she’s after is far more terrifying than that.
No, cruel hands wrap around his neck, the velocity and force causing him to fall back with her weightless frame on top of him. His glasses have long since been knocked off his face.
Jake HATED the feeling of constriction on his neck, and around her hands does he swallow. There is no reaction time in the initial moment, just the rush of adrenaline and panic rising through his veins. His own hands, stained with ichor and filth, claw at her face, her arms, her garb, but she is persistent and strong. Teeth grit, then mouth opens, any attempt to suck in air where he could is made, but to no avail. She does not bother with crushing his windpipe. She wants him to die slowly, to choke and suffer like others before him.
“ S — Sally ! ” ( It’s Jake, he wants to add. ) He tried, choked out her name in an attempt to reach her with tears stinging the back of his eyes already falling, slipping down dirty cheeks. She wasn’t a terrible person, that much he knew, but patience and pleading weren’t going to win, it seems. Clawings become fruitless pawing, fingers finding purchase on cloth in an attempt to grip and pull, but he hasn’t the strength anymore. Tightly do eyes squeeze shut, a finality as darkness clouds his mind, sweeps across the light in haunting strides until Death’s hand reaches. Heavy does he grow, hand falling limp, his body following.
All he remembers is its chilling hand mirroring Sally’s, fingers nimble in their gentle caress of his cheek before her fading screech is met with deafening silence.
