Another little story i came up with :D This time with Jed and Heather a.k.a Edith Rose Sawyer.

Those two are living together for quite a while by now and they came to terms with each other. At least it looks like that. But there are still tiny little things that are not running as smooth as Heather wanted to be. One thing was the horrible fear of the night which Jed haunted all the time he was alone down in his cellar. All this time without any company did not good on him as it seems. And Heather had to deal with it...

Curtain up for the Jed and Heather Show :D

Episode 1

"Fear of the night"

Heather was sleeping in her room, peacefully laying on her comfortable mattress covered with a thick fluffy blanket over her slender and curvy body. In her dreams she was walking with Ryan down a long road, no one of the two were talking. Just walking down the path, holding hands. Heather smiled in her dreams and a single tear escaped her eye.

She turned to the other side, her dream slightly vanishing, replaced by another dream..wait was this a dream? Heathers eyes began to flutter and like striked by a thunder she was awake. She sit up straight in her bed, listening to a weird noise which just could belong to one person. It nearly sounded like someone wailed in despair...

Heather sighed heavily and slapped her forehead. It must have been Jed...again...like in the last four nights. Groggily she stood up, pulling over her dressing gown and walked down the stairs. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she made her way down the cellar, the heavy key holder always by her side. Yawning she stuck the key in the lock and turned it over and opened the door. As she walked down in the vestibule she already saw that the big metal door which led to Jeds lair was wide open and the wailing came out of this direction.

"Great, as i would've knew it..." she whispered to herself, walking through the opened door.

"Jed? Are you okay down there? Its me, Heather!" she yelled, clutching her dressing robe slightly because of the chilly temperatures down in the lair. No answer, just sobbing noises.

Heather walked further until she reached her cousins room and the view she saw there was nearly breaking her heart.

The big guy sat in a corner, his blanket over his head, his whole body trembling in fear. Slowly Heather sneaked up to Jed and carefully put a hand on his blanket covered head. First his body get stiff, then he relaxed as he heard Heathers voice. She put down the blanket softly and was looking in Jeds face. Down his mask big salty tears dropping on his knees and arms as he was clutching himself with his arms.

"What's wrong with you cuz?" she asked in hope for an answer but she knew she would get no answer of him due to his muteness and inability of communicating through sign language. The young woman tried her best to calm down her upset cousin.

She knew she had to be careful with him, of course he would never harm her in any case because she was family..that was not the problem..no, it was because of his mental capacity which was only that of a young child. That was hard enough for Heather in the beginning to deal with her cousins mental disability and mindset of an eight year old...Even he was so big and strong, deep down he was insecure and needed every help he could get. Heather knew that it was a hard job but she decided to stay, because of Jed and of course because of her late grandmother Verna.

This helped her to go through all this.

Jed looked deep in her eyes and a glint of hope appeared in it.

He was tilting his head to the side, a pleading look on his face.(as far as Heather could see his face...)

"What? You want to...wait a minute...you want to sleep in my bed, with me?" she suggested, earning an eager nodding of her cousin.

"No fucking way Jed, NO FUCKING WAY!" she said this a bit too loud for her taste, Jed covered his ears and started to shiver again. As Heather saw this she lowered her voice and started to pat his shoulder.

"Sorry for my outburst...its just...alien for me to sleep besides someone other than Ryan, my now Ex-boyfriend..." her heart still cringed at the thought of her ex.

"Are you afraid of the darkness or the night?" she asked, curiously tilting her head.

Earning another nodding Jed made a gesture which seemingly should say "Darkness is very bad, it frightens me."

Heather sighed, slowly accepting the fact that if she wants to get at least a little sleep this night, she has no other choice than to let her cousin in her bed...

"Aaalright, come upstairs, this one night i will allow you to sleep with me..but only one night! After this we have to find another resolution okay?" Heather was massaging her forehead slowly...she desperately needed sleep now, that was sure.

So she and Jed walked upstairs, for the first time in a while and up in Heathers bedroom. Thank god the bed was king sized and so both had enough space for themselves. As Heather was turning off the lights she rolled to the right side, curling up her body so that her arms were clutching her pillow tightly. Jed came closer to Heather and started to curl up too, his arms around his cousin, seeking for comfort in the deep dark and so despised night.

This reminded Jed on his childhood where he used to sleep with his older brothers at night. It was a wonderful time back then and even all over these many years now he was still enjoying to share the bed with someone of his family which he swore to protect...forever!

"Good night Jed" Heather murmured, smiling again as she felt the warmth of her cousin on her side. He mumbled back something she couldn't understand but as it seemed it was the equivalent of Good night for him.

And so for at least one night, Heather had back her sleep. With a certain price of course...well things aren't so normal when you are living together with a chainsaw wielding murderer, thats for sure and Heather sure can sing a song about this.

The end ~
