(Y/N's POV)

Shortly after drying off once I got out of the shower, I checked downstairs noticing only Jacklyn's feet were visible. Wondering if she's asleep or just really too into lying on some couch cushions......

Because she did mention not ever having something to consider as comfortable.

I'm starting to think she might just be a child in an adult body now remembering the previous interactions.

Only its been really dull and lonely depending on if she's had a friend for a while. Still keeping in mind she confirmed that she kills.....

People...

I have people in here...

Two people besides me and her.

Shit.

Y/N: *whispers* Hey. Hey Jacklyn.

Jacklyn:..........

Walking around the furniture in the middle of the living room, I saw she has her mask on her face with her whole body hugging the couch and her legs propped up on the other side.

Just to avoid getting grabbed again like last time in the woods after trying to get her attention, I instead switch exactly how I'm going to wake her up.

With FOOD

Semi expected, considering how fast she immediately found her way to the kitchen as I continued cooking breakfast.

Along with those heavy boots

Jacklyn: *shocked* What is that and why does it smell so good?

Y/N: I'm just cooking some basic usual stuff for breakfast. Bacon, eggs, waffles and some toast with butter.

From what I can tell she's obviously drooling at everything that's available in front of her as she (which once again reminded me how tall she is........god damn) stood over me and looked at what I'm cooking.

Jacklyn: It's been forever since I had any real food!

Y/N: *curious* Well then what have you been eating while you were in the woods for all this ti----you hunt and cook animals don't you?

Jacklyn: *very surprised* Yes. How'd you guess that?

Y/N: It just clicked once I thought of the woods by environment. People would normally hunt down their food if they haven't already brought any meals with them.

Jacklyn: *looking down rubbing her left arm* Can I----can I ummm------c-can I maybe........have something......*points at food*to eat?

She looked visibly scared of something....

Has she not eaten with other people before?

Y/N: Well sure. Just pick whatever you want since I'm sure we have more than enough for just 2 people. *in mind* Hopefully you don't immediately try to use one of our knives to stab Aubree or Brianna.

While I was thinking to myself, I didn't even realize most of each meal already made was now consumed by the visibly joyful and happy masked brunette standing in front of me.

It's kinda odd watching her switch from so many different behaviors while at the same time look as if she's relying on me to tell her whether if it's okay.

Not really concerning but more surprised to meet someone who acts this way.

Needing to remind myself that this is a killer who originally had intended to most likely kill me if I didn't cooperate with her beforehand.

(Jacklyn's POV)

This is sooooo good!

The taste of this...bacon and waffles!

He even made eggs and toast!

As I continue eating I was so overwhelmed by those emotions again from earlier which were even stronger than before being right in front of him which made me more happy.

???: Hey Y/N who's this?

My little moment of excitement over the deliciousness all in my mouth was interrupted as I turned around to see 2 girls.

(Aubree is above)

(Brianna is the second. Just a little reminder in case you guys weren't sure)

Y/N: *nervous and visibly semi panicking* Uhh--well---ppssshhh---*regains composure* Guys. Meet Jacklyn. She's from out of town ya know? 

Aubree: Ah. Well nice to meet you Jacklyn. Can I call you Jackie for short?

It bothers me hearing someone else call me that. I only want Y/N to call me that.

Jacklyn: *looks down to the floor* I......I prefer to be called Jacklyn. I only like it when Y/N calls me Jackie.

I felt the tension rise but it was aiming away from me and more toward Y/N as I turn around. Although with everyone now looking at him, I didn't fail to see the weird faces the two girls were making.

Aubree: *grinning* Uh-huh. We'll talk more on what that means later. Anyways, the name's Aubree Carmichael. I'm also not really from here either if you can't already tell *pointing at clothing and arm tattoo following by hairstyle*

Brianna: And my name is Brianna Knights. Like how Aubree pointed out the obvious, I'm also not from here. See these? *points at ears above hair* and the big puffs of hair behind me? These are my tails. *points at tails* While yes I am a nine tailed fox, no I'm not some masochistic magical hair ball who can use her charms on people to slowly steal their life force away.

Aubree: Hey I found it funny. People were at first surprised but also in horror thinking you were a real video game character that can just kill using her looks. Besides people calling me princess while making fun of my hair, I found it amusing how once I looked angry they backed off thinking I'll slash them in mere seconds. You've seen some of those types of stuff before right Jacklyn?

Jacklyn: Ummm? 

Aubree: Hm? *curious* Where are you from?

Jacklyn: Uhh..*twirls fingers around each other* ummm *visibly scared*

Y/N: Well! *everyone looks at him* lets just say she prefers not to talk much about her old home because its........it was just terrible. You know how they have people work for WAY too long and while they starve the government will raise the prices of meals? Yeah that's Jacklyn's case.

Aubree: *concerned look* Aww. We're sorry to hear about that. Well you made a good choice in leaving........wherever you're from.

Y/N: Oh yeah she told me most of the meat products were like 8 times the prices compared to here.

Brianna + Aubree: OH MY GOD/GOODNESS!

Brianna: A cheap 5 dollar meal from here would be like 40 bucks down there? What if you live with your family!?!? It would be like $200 for five people! 

(A/N: You see for those who don't get the pricing in how I wrote it out):

5 x 8 = 40

But

40 x 5 = 200  

 So in this case

5 people 40$ each

(That's maths for ya)

(Still Jacklyn's POV)

I'm not sure how to respond yet I mentally thanked Y/N for helping me out. Even if I am still confused in what exactly did he just talk about in such a short amount of time. I clearly got the idea that he's trying to cover up what he's been telling me not to make obvious to other people. Honestly, if killing a bunch of people to stay with Y/N is the only option then sure but so far its not. At least not yet.

(Y/N's POV)

After the brief awkward conversation on how sad everyone should feel for her while I'm thinking how I just pulled off some reverse psychology though noting there are still some unaware of information about being around a mass murderer, everyone was now eating at the table. 

Or at least 3 of us. Jacklyn seemed a bit big to comfortably sit without worrying about her knees or feet colliding into something that can ruin this entire breakfast. After another shift in behavior, more towards worry, she offered to sit back on the couch. I did take note of her mixed expression between worry about spilling all the food she was currently enjoying at the table, to pure happiness and joy as she gets to sit on the mattress she already loved laying her muscular figure on while finally eating something that's delicious and different than her usual meals.

I kinda feel bad though in a way. It's easy for me to understand the things she missed out based on how shocked or curious she can seem whenever I do just about anything. I still don't even know how old she is yet.....

Feels like she lost a lot of time to enjoy this kind of stuff.

Taken out of my thoughts I'm met with an anxious Brianna who wanted to talk privately. This lead to us walking outside after I closed the door behind us.

Y/N: What is it?

Brianna: Although this has been a very interesting experience talking with Jacklyn. I have a question...*moves closer*

Y/N: Alright. What's the quest----

I'm confused as to why she placed a finger on my lips

Brianna: I was awake earlier this morning~ And I heard some.......things.

Oh god no.

Y/N: Okay. What....things did you hear? Was it coming from outside or was it when me and Jacklyn were walking in before you and Aub---

Brianna: *places finger on his lips again* Don't try to sound clueless Y/N~ I did roll over while I was in bed......watching you and Aubree~

Y/N:!

Brianna: Didn't think being that stereotypical dense boy from shows would work now did you? Anyways, I personally feel offended. Offended that you would leave me out even when you could clearly still see me~ Didn't you see my tail move around while you were enjoying your time with Aubree? 

Y/N: One: I tried......didn't work so oh well. 

Two:..........no. *sees how pouting*

Three: You mean how I missed your one tail at the time? I understand you tend to make all of your tails hidden for co--

Brianna: Completely gonna skip the part where you clearly called yourself out for how you did notice me~

Y/N:.........

Brianna: Look *nervous* I-I was j-just wondering.......maybe could I......have the same treatment like Aubree?

Y/N: Same treatment? You mean you want me to also ask why you keep acting so sedu----*head chop* OW!

Brianna: *sigh* We care for you Y/N. Pretending to be clueless just to avoid conversations is only gonna make more people want to stay if they want to. Which in this case is me, Aubree, the oth--

Y/N: FINE! *composes self* Just what is it you want me to do exactly since you needed to bring me outside?

Brianna: O-okay just.......be more quiet. *slightly lowers top of dress*

Y/N: *whisper yells* What the hell Brianna! Somebody can walk by and see us!

Brianna: Shhhh.....if you do this with Aubree....i-is this okay? Would you like to feel them?

(Jacklyn's POV)

I looked over to where they were going which made it clear they went outside.

While Aubree, I believe her name was, she distracted herself with what I learned is a cell phone by watching the news reports about things happening in the neighborhood, I couldn't shake the feeling from earlier...

I enjoy being around Y/N more and he taught me so many things already.

Small or big I have reasons to think him.

He could've ran away from me

He could've tried to fight me

Yet he just stood there. Relaxed and willing to talk.

Nobody ever actually did that for me.

I want to thank him as many times as I can but he went outside with....I think her name is Brianna?

I peeked out the window which showed just enough for me to see what's going on from the front door without them easily spotting me........while that alone is hard for people when trying to look out for me already on its own.

I saw how she placed her finger on his lips during their conversation.

This feeling..

Just bothers me seeing other people talk to him like they're best friends from the start.

Not wanting to give myself more of a reason to be angry, because anger is something I'm too well familiar with, I decided I should try occupying myself.

At least.......until he comes back. Maybe he can show me more stuff and teach me how to do things!

Trying to not think back on how Brianna kept touching him from before. Clearly isn't working. Maybe I can just ask how they met eventually? 

Yeah. 

Let's go with that idea for now.
