Epilogue
The new day began sunny and happily for both Sherry and her unusual mate. They have finally disposed of the ones Sherry hated the most, and now their souls final found peace. Jason went to collect the bodies and dispose of them while Sherry chatted with her brother merrily who came to her for a visit and brought her some snacks and drinks. Richard was curious about how things went yesterday, on Friday the 13th.
"So, tell me, Sherry…" he began "have Jordan and Vanessa been here yesterday? If my memory doesn't cheat me, they were planning a visit to Camp Crystal Lake."
"Oh yes, they were here," Sherry nodded with a smirk. "And believe my word, they will never leave this place."
"Let me guess – they are dead meat, right?" Richard grinned.
"Of course. And so are their friends," Sherry added.
"How many people were there actually, beside these both?"
"Eight more," Sherry responded. "So, ten people altogether. Jason disposed of them all quickly in many different ways, but for Jordan and Vanessa we had special plans."
"What do you mean?" Richard asked, tilting his head.
"First Jason stunned them by a blow on the head, and while they were unconscious, he carried them away to his hut where he has his altar. When I mentioned special plans, it meant that I had to let them see me alive and well, and also let them know that Jason and I are together. Jordan was the first to wake, and after I spoke a few words to him and said goodbye, Jason chopped his head off. As for Vanessa…" Sherry moved closer to her brother and whispered: "Just don't tell mum and dad, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't," Richard assured her. "I presume that you killed her?"
Sherry shook her head.
"Well, not really. But I was merciless to her anyway. She deserved to die in torture and pain. So, I told her all what I had in my heart, and then Jason handled me a crowbar. I hit Vanessa with it several times until she was unable to move and resist anymore, but before that she totally delved into insanity and tried to attack me. But thanks to all what you taught me in martial arts, I dodged her attack easily and hit her on face a few times and kicked her in the stomach to make her fall on the ground. But I didn't kill her. Jason finished her, and that was very brutal. He literally ripped her mouth apart, and she was still alive when he did it."
Hearing her describing such grotesque acts of violence, Richard wrinkled his nose, and his face expressed a grimace of disgust.
"Damn it, that's really disgusting," he said. "And brutal indeed. I don't know if I could be able to look at such things."
"I thought so as well, Richie," Sherry continued. "But living with a serial killer in your neighborhood does things to you, and in the end I just felt numb while watching him murdering people. And before Jordan and Vanessa came here with their company, there were several other visits, excluding you and parents. And Jason got rid of the unwanted guests, as you might guess already. So, no wonder that when dealing with Vanessa's demise, I felt nothing. And one I'm absolutely sure about – I don't feel sorry for her, and neither for Jordan."
"Pretty understandable. To be honest, I'm also glad they're both dead," Richard agreed. "But… may I ask you something?"
"Sure," Sherry nodded.
"You said that you and Jason are together," he began. "So does it mean that… you and him… um… you know…" Richard stuttered, as this was a bit inconvenient topic. Sherry blushed heavily, remembering that night, and nodded. But, at the same time, she felt her mouth stretching in a smile, and the next second she couldn't hold herself and burst into laughing. Watching his sister, Richard felt he wanted to laugh as well, and both siblings laughed their throats out until their stomachs started to hurt.
"Oh man, and what are we laughing at?" Sherry barely spoke through laughter and tears.
"I don't know, sis," Richard also could barely speak. "But I really don't remember the last time we laughed like that. Such laughter is worth gold." Calming down a bit, he continued: "But, if we speak seriously, there's nothing bad in it, I mean, in your relationship with Jason."
"Really? You think so?" Sherry blinked fast.
"Sure," her brother said. "And considering how he has treated you all this time you lived here, it's only logical that in the end all resulted in sex. Such outcome was pretty much predictable."
"I wonder what mum and dad would say if they found out," Sherry pondered loudly.
"Hard to say, but I think they wouldn't be shocked," Richard said. "If they supported you staying here, and they do respect Jason and are grateful to him for all he did for you, then it wouldn't surprise them too much."
"That would be nice. But I think if I tell them about it, then I'll do it later."
"Sure, as you wish," Richard smiled. "So, what are you planning to do now? Will you return home? What about studies?"
Sherry sighed sadly and spoke:
"I guess I have to. I'm not going to abandon the studies, that's for sure. This is why I asked you to bring my laptop and papers here. And I finally have to come out of shadows, so police stops searching for me." She then grinned slyly. "They will have much work to do with disappearance of Jordan and Vanessa and their company as well."
"They sure will," Richard smirked.
"All in all, Richie, I need time. A lot has happened recently, and I need time to digest everything. Besides, I have to speak to Jason. He sure would be heartbroken if I just leave like that, and I will suffer as well because of separation from the one that my heart belongs to now. So I must think what to do and make the right choice. So please, don't put pressure on me, okay? The same goes for mum and dad. I must think things over properly and find the best way."
"No problem, sis. You know I've always supported you in your decisions," Richard took her hands in his. "You know what is best for you, so you're free to do what you think is right."
"Thanks, Richie," Sherry said, hugging her brother tightly. "I want to thank you for being such a wonderful brother. I thank God that I have you and my family as well."
"Of course. All for my little sister," Richard hugged her back. "Well, I guess it's time for me to go. We contact in a few days. Let us know if you need something. See you then."
"Yeah, thanks once more," Sherry said, watching him get into his car and start the engine. "See you around. Bye-bye."
When Richard left, Sherry went back to her cabin, and by that time Jason was already back. He heard the sound of a car engine, and Sherry explained to him that her brother visited her and has just left. That made Jason calm down, and they spent all the day together, sharing their intimate moment again when the night fell on the camp. The next day Sherry surfed through the Internet and stumbled on the news of a whole bunch of missing people. She smirked, seeing the names of Jordan Lane and Vanessa Dier among them. It was doubtful that someone would ever know the truth. Little did she know that police has avoided the camp for many years, so they won't disturb her and Jason with their presence here. But sooner or later they will finally know that she is alive and well. But not yet. All Sherry wanted now is just to stay in the camp with Jason, the one she gave her heart to. She can think about other things some other time. And by the end of the day she fell asleep in bliss, pressing her head to Jason's muscled chest.
Tomorrow will be a new day.
And a new chapter in Sherry's life.
